The current offerings are more than 40 original prints by Joan Miró (1893-1983), ranging in price from £5500 each for Incertitude Prolongée and L’Ultime Menace, both plates worked in etching and aquatint and printed 1977, down to a modest £275 for the lithograph of 1970, Untitled, from Handmade Proverbs.
And as an added incentive each buyer will be entered into a draw for a chance to win a weekend for two in Barcelona, including a visit to the Foundation Joan Miró, which opened in 1975 on the heights of Montjuic overlooking Barcelona.
The gallery also holds a stock of more than 100 John Piper (1903-1992) prints and currently has an impressive display of paintings by the artist, including Abstract Design A (£1000), a small 1964 oil, watercolour, crayon, ink and collage design for building panels for the South-West Region Electricity building in Wandsworth, and a large abstract in gouache and collage (£9750) of the design for Coventry Cathedral’s baptistry stained glass window.
Barcelona trip is an extra draw for Miró admirers
FAMOUS since the 16th century for its boys’ school, the small Rutland market town of Uppingham can also brag about being the home of the Goldmark Gallery. With a secondhand book department, this very amiable and innovative gallery always has much to delight, particularly in the field of 20th century prints.
