14 Lot Collection

The Michael Snow Art Collection comprises 14 lots from the estate of the late Michael Seward Snow, which is the property of his son Justin Snow. This small collection was formed by exchanges of work between artists.

Alixe Jean Shearer Armstrong [1894-1983] - Quarry

This collection comprises 14 lots from the estate of the late Michael Seward Snow, the property of Justin Snow.

As with an earlier sale of works (see Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood, Fine Sale FS9, 27th January 2011), this small collection was formed by exchanges of work between artists.

"Over forty years, during which I occupied studios in St Ives, or nearby, my closest friends were Ben Nicholson, Terry Frost, Dennis Mitchell and the poet WS Graham. The little collections artists make from groups or exchanges, sometimes provide interesting evidence of experiments from which the later and better known works of art have developed."
