I work as an artist and an arts consultant advising individual and corporate clients.
I recently valued an insurance company's art collection gained in a company takeover. They were surprised to find quite valuable prints in their previously unappreciated collection.
I still study philosophy and fine art and create stream of consciousness paintings.
I owned and ran my own gallery for 7 years in Fitzwilliam Street Peterborough and I am still absorbed daily in painting,
either creating, exhibiting or working on private collections.
I have been exhibiting since 1996, mainly in England but also in Bourges France, representing Peterborough. My work has has found many enthusiastic
collectors. I have sold more than 300 of my own original paintings.
I create organic multi layered paintings in style and meaning.
I oscillate between the Abstract Expressionist obsession
with the sole, two dimensionality of the surface and the
Theosophist need to find a soul and communicate something
deep, mystical and meaningful through the painting.
The experimentation, variety, spontaneity or out- pourings
of current thoughts, influences and travels onto the painted
surface satisfies some need in me whilst at the same time
producing an image the viewer can find some form of identity
in.

Scott - Life Drawings
Mike Scott studied at Leicester College of Art in the 1960s.
He became Art Teacher at the local County Grammar School
until retirement. Mike held regular life drawing sessions at his house for
more than 20 years.He moved to Snettisham but frequently made trips back to Peterborough until his sudden death.
Mike took inspiration from the artists
John Piper and painted a variety of subjects in a wide
range of media, and mainly concentrated on architectural
themes. Mike liked to create with pen and ink drawing, life drawing, gouache and water colour painting and pastel drawing, sometimes combining all of them in mixed media paintings. He illustrated many churches, colleges,
and other historical buildings,and took a particular
interest not only in the construction but the character,
atmosphere and sense of history of the subject.

Jamini Roy - Jamini Roy was born in 1887
His style was both a reaction against the Bengal School and the Western tradition. His underlying quest was to capture the essence of simplicity embodied in the life of the folk people; to make art accessible to a wider section of people; and to give Indian art its own identity. He was awarded the Padma Bhusan in 1955. His work has been exhibited extensively in international exhibitions and can be found in many private and public collections such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. He spent most of his life living and working in Calcutta. Initially he experimented with kalighat paintings but found that it has ceased to be strictly "patua" and went to learn from village patuas. Consequently his techniques as well as subject matter wast influenced by traditional art of Bengal. He preferred himself to be called a patua. Jamini Roy died in 1972 .
Awards and honors
In 1934, he received a Viceroy's gold medal in an all India exhibition for one of his work. In 1955 he was awarded the Padma Blushan by the Government of India.

Sri Lanka, a beautiful and timelessly popular country. Often referred to under various pseudonyms, from Ceylon to Pearl of the Orient and the Tear of India to Serendib (the origin of the word Serendipity, - see Helen Mould painting Serendipity -), despite these many guises, ask anyone who has ever travelled here and they will talk of its obvious its attractions, unchanging and inherently stunning lanscapes, beaches, wildlife, temples and palaces.
This original colour pastel drawing is by Pat Mallinson,
a former London resident who used to specialise in etchings of Kenwood, Waterlow Park, Hampstead Heath, Sailing and the english countryside. She then moved to Kent and spent a lot of time travelling with her husband and this pastel of Home Comforts in Sri Lanka captures the atmosphere of her travels there.

Christie’s and Sotheby’s have won their gamble. The Impressionist & Modern Art sales on 2 and 3 February in London generated one global all-segment record and 29 results above £1m out of 87 lots offered. Christie's managed to sell 87.5% of its lots for £61m (est. £48m-69m) plus the £8.5m from its special session devoted to surrealist art. Sotheby’s, the big winner of the week, sold 81% of its lots for a total result £106.1m (est. £68m-101m) including £58m for Alberto GIACOMETTI’s L’Homme qui marche I.
After a price contraction of -30% in 2008 followed by -10% in the first quarter of 2009, the Artprice Global Index stabilised at the end of 2009 to around 2005 price levels. Since then, a form of sober confidence has clearly returned to the market, clearly targeting art that might be considered a safe investment. This is not ‘euphoria’ but rather a trend reversal after the purge of 2009. The top-bracket collectors and investors have adjusted their sights onto Old Masters, Impressionist and Modern art at the expense of the more volatile and risky Contemporary art segment. Demand for the masterpieces of art history has clearly recovered. The £167.14m from the Christie’s and Sotheby’s Impressionist & Modern evenings (not including the Surrealist session) clearly reflects an improved climate and is twice the total generated a year earlier (£83.75m on 3 and 4 February 2009).
The apex of the sales was the ferocious battle, in million-pound steps, to acquire Alberto Giacometti’s L'Homme qui marche I on 3 February. The result (£58m) will go down in history as the new global all-artist all-segment auction record, outstripping the $93m fetched by Pablo PICASSO’s Garçon à la Pipe in 2004, and it generated a superb profit for the seller, Commerzbank. Sotheby’s also obtained good prices for its other lots: Gustav KLIMT's Church in cassone – Landscape with cypresses fetched £24m, a record for a landscape by the artist; Paul CÉZANNE’s Pichet et fruits sur une table, which went unsold in 2001, fetched £10.5m this time; Egon SCHIELE’s drawing Sitzende Frau mit violetten Strümpfen sold for £4.3m in its estimated range, and Auguste RENOIR’s painting of Leontine Lisant, fetched £2.2m, adding £1m to its last auction result in 2002. In fact, the final total gave Sotheby's its best ever London result just behind the record result generated by Christie's on 18 June 2007 from a sale of Impressionist & Modern Art when the market was near its zenith.
Nevertheless, the success of the Impressionist & Modern sales in London has sent a strong signal of confidence to the market. The impact was immediately reflected in Artprice’s Art Market Confidence Index (AMCI) which gained 5 points between Tuesday 2 February and the end of the week and is now standing at 31 points. In fact, all the market indicators are now back in positive territory, particularly the purchase intentions which were expressed by 71% of respondents.
Prints are an important element of the art market representing between 10 and 17% of global auction transactions and between 1.6 and 3.6% of global fine art auction revenue over the last decade.
The multiple and the crisis
With a price index that rose 110% in 6 years (Jan. 2002 – Jan. 2008) the print market was particularly well served by the speculative effervescence that dominated the middle of the decade. After the peak in January 2008, print prices plummeted 33% in just 12 months vs. 19% to 22% for other artistic mediums (painting, drawing, sculpture, photography).
However, during 2009, print prices more or less stabilized while those of painting, sculpture and photography continued to contract.
Although less volatile than some other mediums, prints are clearly not immune to speculative episodes or to the subsequent contractions that tend to ensue.
During the most recent period of price exuberance (2005-2008), the inflation that generated so many new auction records for unique works of art spread to multiples: by 2006 auction revenue in this segment had nearly doubled vs. 2003 (€74.8m from approximately 34,100 lots sold in 2003; €138m from roughly 51,300 lots sold in 2006). As soon as this acquisitive fever relayed from demand to supply, the number of prints at auctions doubled (between 2007 and 2008) and the unsold rate reached a record threshold of 26.6% vs. 6% to 9% normally recorded. The excessive supply in the first quarter of 2009 led to a bought-in rate of 37.2%.
Picasso / Warhol duel
The most emblematic artists of the 20th century are also the biggest revenue generators of our times. Indeed, the art market is literally awash with works signed byPablo PICASSO and Andy WARHOL, the only artists whose prints alone produced auction revenue above the €10m line in 2009.
In an artistic career spanning 74 years (1899 - 1973), Pablo Picasso left a heritage of more than 2000 prints. These multiples literally flood his market every year, representing 63% of the number of transactions since 1997 and 5% of his global auction revenue. In 2009, his best print result was €150,000 for Buste de Femme au Chapeau à Pompons et au Corsage imprimé at Hauswedell & Nolte in Hamburg on 17 June. However, nearly 60% of the approximately 9,000 Picasso signed prints sold over the last decade fetched less than €5,000. In this order of price magnitude buyers can find signed sheets (actual signatures and not just stamps) for a budget of between €1,000 and €2,000 such as the lithograph Musicien, danseur et chèvre which sold for the equivalent of €1,191 last autumn at a Swiss auction (Dobiaschofsky Auktionen AG, 12 November 2009).
Despite the prestige of the signature, Picasso’s prints are not particularly value-accretive. In 10 years, their index has only progressed 5%. In contrast, prints signed by Andy Warhol posted a 50% price progression over the decade. This statistic nevertheless looks pale by comparison to the 524% inflation that gripped paintings signed by the figurehead of Pop art over the same period. Although he didn’t have the creative longevity of Picasso, Andy Warhol had the clever idea of borrowing serial production techniques from the advertising sector. The net result is an average of between 1,000 and 1,500 Warhol prints submitted for auction every year, even more than Picasso.
In 2007, two portfolios fetched €1m each: the most famous series – that of Marilyn Monroe (1967) – went under the hammer for £680,000 on 20 June 2007 at Christie’s in London, followed four months later by 10 Mao prints (1972) which fetched £720,000 at the same auctioneer.
An affordable market
The price of a print, like that of any artwork, depends on the fame of the artist, the subject, the format, the condition and the number of editions (rarity is clearly valued… standard laws of economics oblige). The combination of these factors with certain fashions in the contemporary art field occasionally pushes the price of certain prints up to truly astonishing levels. The print market nevertheless remains a niche of affordable works of which 75 to 85% of them sell for under €2,000. With a budget from €100 to 500, young buyers often start their collections with signatures that are well-known, reassuring and affordable.

LONDON. A “fake” in the Courtauld Gallery, believed to be by the master forger Han van Meegeren (1889-1947), is a genuine Dutch Golden Age painting, new research has revealed. It is a version of The Procuress, a 1622 brothel scene by Dirck van Baburen, which is also depicted in the background of two works by Vermeer. It is now believed that the Courtauld’s painting may, in fact, be the work that Vermeer once had.
The Courtauld’s painting of The Procuress was acquired in 1960, when it was donated as a Van Meegeren. Arguably the most notorious faker of the 20th century, he forged a series of early “Vermeers”. He was only exposed in 1945, after being accused of selling a newly discovered Vermeer to the Nazi military leader, Hermann Goering. .... read the www.artnewspaper.com for more articles like this.
