Mid-century art specialists Fifties Art will be exhibiting an expertly curated selection of works by renowned artist John Piper at 67 York Street Gallery in Marylebone between 4th - 9th November. Featuring original pieces as well as prints and fabrics created by Piper during his decades-long career, this free exhibition will showcase his range and ability with a collection brought together by Fifties Art Founder, Dr Richard Turkington FRSA, all the works are for sale. This is the first collection he has brought to London since before the pandemic. One of the most prolific artists of the twentieth century, John Piper (1903-1992) is recognised for his wonderful studies of British, French and Venetian landscapes and architecture. An expert printmaker, he also designed ceramics, murals, stained glass, theatre sets - and even fireworks displays. Piper was an official war artist in World War II and his depictions of bomb-damaged churches and landmarks, most notably Coventry Cathedral, made Piper a household name. His work has been acquired by several public collections. Richard says: “Piper is one of the most creative, imaginative and versatile artists of the twentieth century, and we hold a varied stock of paintings, limited edition prints and original fabrics. My fascination with Piper began when I came across a print called ‘Willington Dovecot’, and I was struck by the way he was able to bring buildings to life, particularly old buildings such as churches and castles - inanimate piles of stones, but his representation of them gives them such dynamism.” The Fifties Art collection also includes a rare series of Piper’s ‘Coventry cartoons', his designs for stained glass panels in the Baptistery Window at Coventry Cathedral which were commissioned in the late fifties and translated into glass by Patrick Reyntiens. Richard continues: “I aim to celebrate the variety, versatility and distinctiveness of John Piper’s art and design, offering an attractive range of artworks at accessible prices. This exhibition will include more than 30 pieces, displayed in the fantastic 67 York Street Gallery in the heart of Marylebone; an approachable space for Piper fans and those new to his work to discover his versatility and passion. The show is a great introduction to Piper’s work as well as the chance to add original and high-quality works to your own collection.” The exhibition private view will take place on Sunday 3rd November, 6.30 - 8.30pm.
