We are privileged to be handling the studio sale of artist Frank Spencer Budgen (1882-1971) early 20th Century English School painter, writer and socialist activist.
Consigned by Jane Rowell who was a lifelong friend of Frank’s daughter Joan Budgen. It is thanks to her that the contents of the studio have been carefully looked after, curated and authenticated, each painting has its own story and memory for Joan who sadly passed away a few years ago. With thanks to Jane the paintings have been catalogued with back stories and locations.
The thirty-four paintings, six portfolios and numerous sketchbooks will be offered over two sales in January and March 2024.
