Lynn Chadwick
Second Maquette for Teddy Boy and Girl
1956, Bronze 39 x 12 x 10 cm ACII from an edition of 6 POA
Chadwick's solo exhibition for the Venice Biennale in 1956 included the large centrepiece 'Teddy Boy and Girl', 1955, which was a substantial piece at nearly two metres tall. With arms up-stretched and conjoined at the pelvis the Teddy Boy and Girl sculptures, such as this charming maquette, were a vital take on contemporary culture. |

Moon Series B
1965-6, Lithograph 57.5 x 72.2 x 3.2 cm AP from an edition of 75 £2,750 inc VAT framed
Printmaking provided Chadwick with an intimate, immediate way to continue his visual thought process, distilling sculptural ideas to their purest forms. Chadwicks 'Moon Series' explored a more abstracted vision of the moon, incorporating the rounded corners of early photographs, crescent shapes, and deep shadows to form eye-like compositions; motifs that echoed contemporaneous sculptures such as 'Star III', which we will also show at the fair. |

The Stranger
1954, Bronze 73 x 48 x 28 cm Edition 8 of 9 POA
This striking early work by Lynn Chadwick is an important sculpture that charts the progression of the figure in his work. Conceived in 1954 during the exciting period that Chadwick was gaining international fame for his unique visual language, 'The Stranger' bears reference to prehistoric cave painting, the natural world and contemporary culture. |
