It is rare that a PWM work comes up at auction. Rarer still outside of the Capital. But here we have Shifting Ground, a collage from 1985, 23.5 x 63 cm. It was one of the works in The Cutting Edge, the large, one person exhibition that opened at Bolton Museum & Art Gallery in 1987 and touring to Wolverhampton and Lincoln. It is related to the series of low bas-reliefs in marble produced in the early nineteen eighties, several of which found their way into public collections. This piece is featured in the auction of Modern & Contemporary Art at Tennants in Leyburn, North Yorkshire in six days time (10:30 am., 20th October, 2018).
