Lyon and Turnbull | MODERN MADE: Modern, Post-War & Contemporary Art, Design, Craft and Studio Ceramics

April 2024's edition of MODERN MADE will once again offer the very best in Modern, Post-War & Contemporary Art, Modern Design, Contemporary Craft and Studio Ceramics. This year the sale will span two sessions, with a curated group of works being sold in the evening of Thursday 25 April, and the day session of the sale taking place on Friday 26 April.

The Evening Session on Thursday 25 April, at 6pm, contains highlights of modern and contemporary art, featuring works by some of the most important artists and makers of the 20th and 21st centuries, including luminaries such as Amedeo Modigliani, Zao Wou-Ki, Howard Hodgkin, Tracey Emin, Bridget Riley, Grayson Perry and Magdalene Odundo. We are particularly delighted to be offering the largest early domestic commission by renowned stained-glass artist Sir Brian Clarke.

The Day Session on Friday 27 April, at 10am, includes a curated selection of the best in modern and contemporary art, design, craft, printmaking and ceramics, featuring sculpture from the Studio of Laurence Broderick, contemporary silver from the collection of Gordon Hamme,  seminal neckpiece by Wendy Ramshaw, shown alongside jewellery by Claude Lalanne and Georg Jensen and a rare offering of works by master craftsman Richard Kell.

Both Sessions feature works from the collection of the late graphic designer and photographer Steve Allison – encompassing painting, drawing, printmaking and ceramics, as well as one of the most significant private collections of design works by the late Gaetano Pesce in Britain. We are honoured to be representing this daring and eclectic collection which proves the maxim ‘always buy what you love’.
