Surprise Lots Lot 120 by Emanuel Phillips Fox was in every sense the “sleeper lot”. This portrait of a sleeping infant rendered in Fox’s signature sublime greens and pinks was in need of significant restoration with paint loss throughout the work.

It must have seemed, then, that there was no possibility of the demand for Old Master painting outstripping the supply. The historical deposit seemed as inexhaustible as the herds of elephants on the Serengeti plain. In fact, it was as soon depleted.

Within the collection are also four works by Robert Dickerson and two particularly striking works with gold leaf ground that appear less often these days at auction. I would imagine that Richard would have enjoyed the structure and certainty of these works; something that Dickerson always delivered. As one moves through the collection the pleasure […]
