Pictures: Modern and Contemporary Art
In line with rising interest with this area of visual culture, we offer a wide range of examples by artists and movements from the 20th century through to the present day.
The Picture Department is proud to have successfully represented many important living artists and artists’ estates from the North, including Norman Cornish, Peter Brook, John Ridgewell, Marie Walker Last and Karl Torok to name but a few. These long-standing and continuing achievements have allowed the department to grow into one of the leading auction houses for the sale of Northern Art.
