Animal with sharp teeth by Pat Douthwaite, estimated at £4000-6000.
Lyon & Turnbull is holding an auction of Modern & Contemporary art, sculpture and design at The Mall Galleries in London on March 27 under the title Modern Made.
Among the selection of works by Modern British female artists is Animal with sharp teeth, a 2ft 4in x 3ft (70 x 90cm) oil on board by Pat Douthwaite (1939-2002). Dating from c.1965, it is a distinctive example of the self-taught artist’s depictions of heavily stylised figures on stark black backgrounds with undercurrents to Dubuffet’s Art Brut aesthetic.
