Artist: TOM PHILLIPS, RA

Title: A PAIR 'DARK WOOD' ('UNA SELVA OBSCURA') and 'WOOD OF THE SUICIDES' - both original signed screenprints printed in colours from multiple stencils, both framed

Description: Tom Phillips, CBE, RA (born 1937) is one of Britain's best known painters, printmakers and sculptors.  Born in London in 1937, he studied art at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts 1961-63.  He has exhibited at many major shows internationally and is represented in numerous public collections and home and abroad, including the Tate Gallery, Victoria & Albert Museum, National Portrait Gallery, Whitworth Art Gallery Manchester, Walker Art Gallery Liverpool, and the National Museum of Wales. He was elected a full member oof the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers 1987 and of the Royal Academy 1989.

The present works are original screenprints, each pencil signed by the artist and numbered respectively 31 of 75 and 39 of 75.  The images each measure about 21.8 x 15.5 inches and in their frames they measure about 29.5 x 21.8 inches.  Although not examined out of their frames the prints appear to be in excellent condition. The frames are of good quality and are in good condition.  The prints are thus 'ready to hang'.

Tom Phillips exhibits regularly with the Flowers East gallery who date these screenprints to 1979-80.  Another example of 'Dark Wood' is owned by the National Gallery of Australia who date it to 1982.  We are not sure which date is correct...
