It sold for £ 56,250. We called in to see it on the day of the sale and a kind, enthusiastic and entertaining Sotheby's employee took it off the wall to let us examine the back. The pieces of wood are just glued to the canvas and are working loose. I bought some lottery tickets, just in case the Gods of Chance wanted me to own it: I won £16.50 which will easily pay for the materials to make one.
And an exhibition at Tate St Ives,
'This display will present a group of important works by Marlow Moss, now regarded of as one of Britain’s most important Constructivist artists.The paintings, reliefs and sculptures, drawn from collections in the UK and Europe, are primarily concerned with an interrogation of movement, space and light.'
