Dame Elisabeth Frink

The gallery represented Elisabeth Frink until her death in 1993. One of Britain's great sculptors, she was also a highly accomplished painter and printmaker. As the prices of her bronzes have increased steadily since her death, the interest in two-dimensional work has increased greatly. The watercolour of Proud Horse is a classic example. We bought a series of eight of these watercolours a while back. They had been commissioned by a major corporation in 1981. Offered at £6,500 in the gallery, we placed one at auction in November 1999. The buyer paid just under £8,800 for it. We now have two left. We have also recently acquired Atlas with Globe maquette from her estate. Those who take a keen interest in her work will note that it is no.9/9. The catalogue raisonné shows this as an edition of 8 -- it is wrong and will be corrected on the next re-print.
