JEREMY DICKINSON - LATEST AUCTION RESULTS

2012-03-12T07:23:43Z

In a world of fluctuating economies it would seem that Jeremy Dickinson's paintings not only represent outstanding value for money on initial purchase but go on to represent a sound investment. In March 2012 two of Jeremy's paintings were sold at Christie's New York at the top end and above estimated prices. A 25x35cm painting achieved $5,000 and a 25x55cm painting, estimated at up to $6,000, sold for a whopping $15,000.

JEREMY DICKINSON - PRESS COVERAGE

Jeremy Dickinson's paintings have certainly been the centre of attention in the new year. In January 2012 BBC Homes & Antiques magazine identified Jeremy's car paintings as their 'Antique of the Future'. In a four page editorial Jeremy was interviewed in his studio by Dendy Easton, Antiques Roadshow expert and fine art consultant for Bonhams, who was very appreciative of Jeremy's paintings and their resale value at Fine Art Auctions.

In April 2012 Classic & Sports Car magazine celebrated it 30th Anniversary. In a special edition of the magazine Mick Walsh, Editor in Chief, included Jeremy's paintings in his choice of the finest motoring art in the world.

NEW PAINTINGS FROM ARNET ADDIS

2011-12-05T21:12:04Z

After a bit of a break in order to continue with his academic studies we now have two new paintings from Arnet Addis. Unusually these are acrylics on canvas painted in their true realistic colours rather than in the negative form. As such they are beautifully executed photorealistic paintings complete in themselves.

BIRDS ON BISCUITS SELL OUT!

2011-11-02T18:21:01Z

We had a particularly successful Affordable Art Fair. Lorraine Berkshire-Roe's Birds on Biscuits have always been successful, but this year she surpassed all expectations by selling out completely of all 20. We now have only a few available before next year. And take a look at the very last of her dogs and cats until we can get hold of a few more of these delightfully dotty animals.

NEW PAINTING FROM JEREMY DICKINSON

We have a new painting, Blue Jump Race, from Jeremy Dickinson. One of his smaller works, it is featured in the forthcoming article in the BBC Homes & Antiques magazine for January 2012. The image we have at the moment is not the best and we hope to rectify this once the paint has dried!

COUNTDOWN TO THE AAF

2011-10-09T19:27:43Z

I am now getting excited about the AAF, Battersea! We have some fantastic work coming in and great new artists to introduce to you.

Two fresh artists to NBA are Betty Bilston and Juliette Purdy. Both artists take vintage material and add their own subtle twist. Betty breaths new life into vintage finds to produce attractive new artworks with a contemporary edge. Juliette has exhibited with NBA for the past year and her quirky observational sculptures have been consistent best sellers at exhibitions. We now have a few new pieces available online and more available at the AAF.

Back by popular demand is Jack Richards. One of our best selling artists at last year's AAF and again at Chelsea Art Fair this year I must admit even I was taken by surprise by the variety of buyers for his work. I had assumed this would appeal most to young viewers but was proved wrong at Chelsea where most were, shall we say, of a certain age - buying because these amusing scenarios made from old toy cars and lead toys reminded them of their youth.

Mick Dean was one of our first finds, now almost ten years ago. His beautifully crafted oil paintings are even better in the flesh than they are on the screen. His understanding of light, shade and atmosphere comes from his background in photography and I have yet to see another artist achieve such stunning results.

Lorraine Berkshire-Roe continues to make the most covetable papier maché Birds on Biscuits, large scale dogs and now Biscuit Boxes. Lorraine's work exudes a warm and sense of humour which is evident in her daytime activity as an illustrator of children's books.

I do hope you can come to the fair. All the Private View tickets have now gone, but I have some tickets left for the Late View Evening from 5.30-9.30pm on Thursday 20 October. This ticket allows free entry for two people on the night and also at any time during the course of the fair. Contact me and I will arrange for a ticket to be left on the Reception Desk at the fair for you to collect on the day.

FINGER-LICKING BISCUIT BOXES BACK

2011-10-05T06:06:21Z

Looking for a domestic goddess artwork? Look no further than Lorraine Berkshire-Roe's Biscuit Boxes. Delicious confections of realistic papier maché bicuits, vintage background material and a great dollop of humour combine to make these artworks the best possible home decoration or special present for a foodie.

NEW WORK FROM MICK DEAN

2011-10-03T17:38:00Z

We're just beginning to collect together the new paintings from our best selling London born-and-bred artist Mick Dean.

Mick's been in the pub again, dreaming of his holidays in the South of France, as you can see from the new works. Never one to shrink from profound investigative methodology, Mick has captured beautifully the fall of light in both locations. The Holly Bush, Hampstead, offers a truly unique painting by Mick - it has people in it! Mick usually implies human occupation, so this painting is a real departure for him. Perhaps he's mellowing.

TERRIBLY EXCITING JEREMY DICKINSON NEWS

2011-10-03T11:29:32Z

An exciting development since the 2010 AAF has been the increased worldwide interest in the work of Jeremy Dickinson. In addition to one man shows in the San Francisco, Los Angeles and Tokyo, more than 20 of Jeremy’s paintings sold at this year’s Art Basel.

The past 12 months have also seen some of Jeremy’s work sold very successfully at major auction houses in the U.S.A. and U.K. A larger work (92x107cm) sold at Sotheby’s for $20,000 (estimate $6-8,000) and two smaller works (25x30cm and 30x40cm) sold for $7,500 (estimate $3-5,000) and £5,000 (estimate £4-6,000) respectively.

This interest will be further heightened by a major 4 page editorial feature on Jeremy’s paintings in the forthcoming January 2012 issue of BBC Homes and Antiques magazine, available in December, which will identify them as ‘Antiques of the Future’.

I am delighted that we have around 15 new paintings by Jeremy available immediately. Most of these will be exhibited at the AAF, but we also have five large paintings which go beyond the £4,000 top price for this show. In all cases, NBA’s prices are significantly below those achieved at the recent auctions, making them not only very desirable works of art but also great investments. Jeremy’s work is sure to sell out quickly so if you are interested please get in touch with me before the AAF on kay@newbritishartists.co.uk
