拍品描述：
Ken Kiff RA,
British 1935-2001 –
Untitled, c.1991;
oil on canvas, signed lower centre 'Ken Kiff', 51 x 41 cm (unframed) (ARR)
Provenance:
the Estate of the Artist;
Private Collection, purchased from the above
Note:
this is a brilliant example of the artist’s style, with its playful sense of mysticism and deep understanding of colour. Kiff was a pioneering figure in British painting during the 1980s along with his contemporary Paula Rego, bringing back a symbolic and narrative quality to his work, that harked back to early Modernists such as Marc Chagall and Paul Klee. Shortly after making this work, he would become Associated Artist at the National Gallery, London from 1992-93. Ken Kiff was also a highly influential tutor at the Royal College of Art, teaching major figures including Tracey Emin. His work was recently the subject of a major show at Carl Freedman Gallery, Margate in 2022 and at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich in 2019. His works are in public collections including the Tate and the Arts Council Collection.
