Laurence Stephen Lowry Sold at Auction Prices

Genre Painter, b. 1887 - d. 1976

Born in 1887 in Manchester, England, artist Laurence Stephen Lowry moved in 1909 with his family to Pendlebury, an area filled with factories and mills. This began his fascination with sketching and painting the workers passing by his home and nearby industrial scenes. Having had great success artistically in the latter part of his life, artist Laurence Stephen Lowry became one of Britain's most revered painters. He was appointed Official Artist for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953. Lowry's signed prints still remain highly sought after; his simple depictions of everyday working life in the industrial areas of South Lancashire evoke strong memories of the past. Lowry paintings prices can be quite staggering given the artist's popularity and prestige, some reaching as high as $100,000.

    § Laurence Stephen Lowry RA, RBA (1887-1976) Study for 'The Beach at Roker'; the reverse with a further sketch twice signed and dated 'LS Lowry 1960' (lower left and lower right) ink 17.5 x 25.5cm Provenance: Sale; Dreweatts, 20 June, 2013, lot 24 Lowry first visited Roker Beach in Sunderland in 1960. Staying exclusively in the same first-floor room at the Seaburn Hotel, the seaside resort would become a recurring subject in his work until his death in 1976. Lowry was noted to have used the hotel's dining room to sketch from as he gazed out over the North Sea. Unlike many artists of his era, Lowry was less captivated by the sparkling sands and vibrant blues of the coastline. Instead, he was drawn to the lingering presence of industry in this still-active yet declining port. In this work, gambolling families occupy the foreground, but they are framed by symbols of commerce and labour. Reflecting on the location, in a 1976 interview with the Sunderland Echo, he remarked, “You can sense the industry of Sunderland not far away, even though you can't see it.” In 2011, an oil depicting the same scene was sold by Christie’s for £301,250.

    § L. S. LOWRY (BRITISH 1887–1976)

    Est: £12,000 - £18,000

    L. S. LOWRY (BRITISH 1887–1976) THE MOURNERS, 1955 signed and dated 19 Dec 1955, pastel on paper 26cm x 36.5cm (10 ¼in x 14 3/8in) The Reverend Geoffrey S. Bennett, by 1966;Sandra Lummis Fine Art, London, from whom acquired by Bernard Kelly, July 1986. Exhibited:Arts Council of Great Britain, L .S. Lowry - Retrospective, 1966, no. 150.Literature:Levy, Mervyn, The Drawings of L. S. Lowry, Jupiter Books, London 1979, pl. 142. Whilst undoubtedly being one of Britain’s most well-known and well-loved artists, L.S. Lowry is also one of our most misunderstood. His popular image is that of an untrained naif painter of ‘matchstick men’, yet this is to ignore entirely the incredible technical and visual sophistication of his work. Lowry was academically trained, as well as being a student of the post-Impressionist master Pierre Adolphe Valette, who taught in Manchester at the beginning of the 20th century. As such, Lowry knew how to draw the weight and balance of a figure, how to convey movement, even if he then chose to express this in a seemingly ‘simplistic’ way. The Mourners is a perfect example of this – no surprise, then, that it was chosen for Lowry’s 1966 Arts Council exhibition, the exhibition that sowed the seeds for his incredible popularity. The sense of the couple’s movement is effortless, as is the sense of the weight of their bodies shifting in their heavy clothes. We can feel the man’s hands in his pockets. And even though viewed from behind, we know exactly where both their gazes fall and as such we can feel where their feelings lie. Furthermore, the space between them, perfectly judged, becomes the emotional heart of the work.  And their world – the dirty, smoky city – is evoked entirely through a few intersecting lines and a couple of smudges of pastel. This drawing is pure Impressionism, at its best – not Degas gazing down from the stalls at the ballet, but another genius painter seeing all of human life from the top deck of the no.52 to Pendlebury.
