Modern British and Irish Art
Four Pears by William Scott (1913-1989) leads a strong selection of work by Irish artists at Bonhams Modern British and Irish Art Sale in London on Wednesday 24 November. The painting has not been seen in public since it was exhibited at Irish Art in the Seventies: The International Connection in 1980. It is estimated at £150,000-250,000.
Four Pears was painted in 1976 and, with its two companion works Three Pears and Five Pears, was extensively exhibited in South America in the late 1970s. It was inspired by a pear tree growing outside the artist's studio at Coleford in Gloucestershire.
Bonhams representative in Ireland, Kieran O'Boyle, said: "This sale has a great representation of high-quality works by Irish artists ? from William Scott's exquisite and subtle Four Pears to an archetypal Paul Henry and John Luke's nostalgia-filled Mountain Composition. These are painters with wide appeal among collectors and I anticipate a lot of interest."
