We will not be publishing a List for August. Instead, as is now tradition, we have made a selection of works that were introduced to our stock in the year since August 2022. In that time almost 1100 items have appeared on our Lists (and more than 1500 if you include our Groups and Exhibitions). These 100 are still available and we feel dispel the commonly held, oft-quoted belief that the best works always sell first!
NB You can still view our List for July, and indeed all our Lists published since April 2021 via the menu above.
