Glynn Boyd Harte Final Week

Our Glynn Boyd Harte show is now in its last week and we are pleased to say has sold very well indeed! There are still a few great pictures left which are really deserving of a good home.

One of our favourites, Asparagus, the only remaining picture from Glynn's last ever show in 2003, is still available much to our surprise. This a large, delicately arranged watercolour composition of asparagus and strawberries; some of Glynn's favourite subject matters in his last years. It is one of our more expensive pieces however it is without doubt one of the strongest in the exhibition.
Also remaining is the archive copy of Sardines II, the last copy of the very popular print of some rather exotic sardine tins and Dogana a lovely watercolour and pastel of Venice.

For those familiar with the area of Fitzrovia, we still have a few prints of Pollock’s Toy Museum and James Smith and Sons umbrella shop. Any of our visitors to the Rectory Gallery will recognise Glynn’s stunning coloured pencil and pastel representation of Christchurch, Spitalfields, also still unsold.

The exhibition combines many old favourites as well as a number of new treasures from the personal collection of Glynn’s widow; Carrie Boyd Harte. If you haven’t seen this most uplifting show already make sure you schedule in a visit before next Wednesday, 25th May. It could well be the last chance to see such an extensive collection of the work of this much celebrated draughtsman.
