Modern British art – female artists
Female Modern British artists are enjoying a surge of popularity. As well as sustained interest in the leading lights of the field – figures such as Barbara Hepworth, Mary Fedden, Laura Knight, Elizabeth Blackadder, Anne Redpath and Elisabeth Frink to name a few – there is also a growing list of lesser-known names represented by dealers.
Such works have a natural market appeal: these new ‘discoveries’ can come with affordable price tags, even when the calibre is high. When the quality is there, demand and value follow quickly.
