Duncan Grant self-portrait

Collectors of the art of Bloomsbury artists Duncan Grant, Dora Carrington, Henry Lamb, Quentin Bell, or Paul Roche will be interested in this — an auction of their work that begins tomorrow, June 17.

It is the first time this work has been offered at auction in 60 years. Viewing ran from June 15-16.

Watch the 14-minute YouTube video in which Kentucky resident Kate Archer, the owner of the collection and the daughter of the late collector, discusses the art, as well as her memories of visiting Charleston and meeting Grant when she was nine years old.

The David Elstob Auction Gallery in the UK is running the auction. Look for the Country House Sale to view the items and register to bid. Many items besides the Bloomsbury art are included in this lot, but you can refine your search in the search window.
