While early works were characterized by abstraction in marble or stone, time spent in St Ives led to a broader repertoire of wood and bronze, as well as figurative work closely related to that of her contemporary, Moore. Her later career also saw experimentation with lithography, producing suites with the Curwen Press in the late 1960s. Hepworth tragically died in a fire at her Trewyn studios in 1975.

Mike, with an emphasis on the warm, welcoming, informal customer service that remains the bedrock of Goldmark today, turned the failing shop into a book-lover’s paradise. He became sole owner, and moved to Orange Street in 1974. The first gallery wing was added in 1985, but, in those early years, book buying and selling was Mike’s overriding passion. People travelled from all over the country – and beyond – to find rare first editions, prized anthologies and undiscovered treasures. In 1986 Mike’s passion saw him expand into publishing, including Iain Sinclair’s first novel, ‘White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings’.
Art and ceramics
Goldmark Gallery’s first art show was by Leicestershire-based artist Rigby Graham in 1987. Up until that date Graham had, by his own count, held 42 unsuccessful solo shows. Neither Mike Goldmark nor Rigby Graham would have been suited to a career in the diplomatic service, but the two sparked off each other creatively, and Graham’s reputation grew – he was made an MBE in 2010. Graham died in 2015, but his work is still on regular show, sharing room with over 50,000 works of art owned by the gallery – a collection that includes, amongst others, Picasso, John Piper, Graham Sutherland, Anthony Gross and Matisse.
Goldmark’s book- and art shops ran side by side for a decade, and Mike never fell out of love with books or publishing – indeed the gallery is a thriving publisher today. However, the 2000s saw a major change in the book-buying public and a harder edge develop in the book world. Mike closed the bookshop arm of the business in 2005.
That same year Goldmark held its first ceramics exhibition. It showcased the great Phil Rogers – another plain speaker, who, like Mike Goldmark, was ever generous with both his heart and his time. Since then Goldmark Gallery has set new standards for ceramics exhibitions. It has adopted a cadre of some of the most respected potters from around the world and provided them with the support and security to develop great work. Gallery potters such as Lisa Hammond MBE, Kang-hyo Lee, Mike Dodd and Jean-Nicolas Gérard have few equals.
Phil Rogers died in 2020, but his legacy lives on. In May the gallery will be displaying previously unseen pots by Rogers, whilst in September his former apprentice Anne-Mette Hjortshøj returns to the gallery to show new work in what will be one of the most eagerly awaited shows of the global ceramics’ calendar.
Uppingham, films, printmaking, framing – and making the news
There is barely room here to touch on Mike’s refurbishment of Uppingham spaces for independent retailers, which has made a major contribution to the character and appeal of Uppingham today. We must also mention Goldmark Films (thrice nominated for awards by the Royal Television Society), the printmaking Goldmark Atelier and the bespoke and nationally recognised framing service.
There is a perfect illustration of the risk-taking and dedication to talent that underscores the Goldmark charisma. In 1997 Mike Goldmark discovered a poet called Aidan Andrew Dun. Never one to do things by halves, he published Dun’s epic poem ‘Vale Royal’ and, amazingly, hired the Albert Hall to promote it. Rosie Millard, then the BBC arts correspondent and now, among other roles, Chair of BBC Children in Need, recalls the event: ‘The Return of the Reforgotten was, in essence, never to be forgotten. An epic night, day, 24 hours featuring Aidan Andrew Dun, Allan Ginsberg, Benjamin Zephaniah and a horde of others, including Paul McCartney reading, singing and dancing to their work. It was unstructured and rambling and completely wonderful. In this era of instant mediation it was unmediated and unique. And it made it onto the BBC news bulletins. Hoorah.’
50 years: looking back and ahead
Mindful of how much it owes its heritage, Goldmark has just republished ‘Vale Royal’. However, despite this pause to celebrate 50 years, Goldmark Gallery’s focus remains firmly on the future. Art and ceramics exhibitions will light up 2023, and new books and films are in the pipeline on artists such as Anthony Gross and Oundle-based Richard James.
Three generations of the Goldmark family are now part of the 30-strong Goldmark team – they are always looking out for new adventures, pathways and talent. Now 50 years since the journey began, Goldmark sells to 39 countries and is proud to be ‘a shop like no other’.

Paula Rego (1935-2022) was a Portuguese-born painter and printmaker particularly known for her paintings and prints based on storybooks and is widely considered one of the most significant contemporary artists of her generation. Born in Lisbon, Rego moved to London with her husband, the artist Victor Willing, in the 1950s, where she continued her artistic education at the Slade School of Fine Art.
Rego's work is highly regarded for its powerful and often unsettling imagery, which explores themes such as gender, sexuality, and the human condition. Her use of allegory and storytelling has made her work highly accessible and engaging to a wide range of audiences, and her legacy continues to inspire and influence contemporary artists and art lovers alike.

After completing his studies, House worked in advertising as a graphic designer and artist, producing work for ICI and the Kynoch Press. In the 1960s he designed for both the art and pop worlds, designing promotional material for leading London galleries and collaborations with the Beatles, Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones.
Alongside his graphic design work, House produced his own art, showing with the London Group in 1957. The 1960s witnessed his increasing involvement with the vibrant new British art scene; he took part in the key Situation exhibition at the RBA Galleries and designed its eye-opening catalogue. House was involved in a string of important exhibitions, from New Painting in England, at Leverkusen Museum, West Germany, in 1961, to The Sixties Art Scene in London, at the Barbican Centre, 1993, and was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
Gordon House was a hard working man who excelled in two fields, graphic design and contemporary art, producing unique and unmistakable images, apparently abstract, but leaning heavily on visual sources. His work is held by key public and corporate collections in Britain and abroad, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, Arts Council of Great Britain, Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Tate Gallery in London.
Throughout his life, House remained committed to the art of printmaking, and his legacy continues to influence and inspire printmakers and artists around the world.

The signed lithographs on offer here are from the collection of the great master printmaker, Stanley Jones. The Jane Eyre suite, in particular, is a remarkable collection of prints, inspired by the iconic novel of the same name by Charlotte Brontë, that showcases Rego's skill as a printmaker and her unique interpretation of the classic text.
The work will be available to view in the gallery and online. There will be a guided exhibition walkthrough film on Goldmark TV and a fully illustrated catalogue available to purchase, with essay by Laura Gascoigne.
Paula Rego (1935-2022) was a Portuguese-born painter and printmaker particularly known for her paintings and prints based on storybooks and is widely considered one of the most significant contemporary artists of her generation. Born in Lisbon, Rego moved to London with her husband, the artist Victor Willing, in the 1950s, where she continued her artistic education at the Slade School of Fine Art.
Over the course of her career, Rego developed a distinctive style that was characterised by a bold use of colour, a strong narrative element, and a fascination with the human form and its relationship to society. Her work often drew on her personal experiences and cultural background, as well as her interests in literature and social issues.
Paula Rego's work has been widely exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, including the Tate Gallery in London, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Centro de Arte Moderna in Lisbon. She was awarded numerous honours and accolades for her contribution to the art world, including being appointed as a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2010.
Rego's work is highly regarded for its powerful and often unsettling imagery, which explores themes such as gender, sexuality, and the human condition. Her use of allegory and storytelling has made her work highly accessible and engaging to a wide range of audiences, and her legacy continues to inspire and influence contemporary artists and art lovers alike.
Please take this rare opportunity to see this remarkable suite in the flesh here at the gallery in Uppingham and to acquire her work for your wall.

"My pots display a lot of marks and traces of past events. To describe them in a conventional and very simplified way, they are 'dirty' and 'broken'. On the other hand, they can be described in a more sophisticated way as wabi-sabi, which refers to the beauty of imperfection and impermanence." Akiko Hirai
A walk-through of our forthcoming major exhibition of new pots by Akiko Hirai. http://goldmarkart.com
Akiko Hirai | Ceramics Exhibition
Exhibition Walk-Through Broadcast on Friday 26th March at 4pm on goldmark.tv
Akiko Hirai never dreamed of becoming a potter – yet in recent years, she has found herself one of the most sought-after makers of her generation. After relinquishing her post as the Head of Ceramics at Kensington and Chelsea college to tackle an unprecedented demand for her work, Hirai has enjoyed knockout shows throughout the country, even through COVID season. Her latest will be a landmark exhibition at the Goldmark Gallery, opening March 27th.
Born in Japan, where she studied for a degree in psychology, Hirai discovered her love of clay in the UK almost by accident. Arriving in her late 20s, she initially worked as a volunteer with the homeless. When the stresses of the job eventually took their toll, Hirai enrolled on a beginners’ pottery course under British ceramicist Chris Bramble. He encouraged her to apply to the University of Westminster, from which she transferred to Central Saint Martins. The last 18 years she has spent in the very same studio space she took immediately after her graduation in 2003.
Pottery is now Hirai’s first love: ‘It makes me happy,’ she says simply, but profoundly, though psychology still informs all that she does. For Hirai, everything is interconnected: language, thoughts, feelings and objects all come together in the everyday interactions of our lives. At the core of her practice is an exquisite range of Kohiki domestic ware, thrown and faceted pots made from dark clay with a rough veneer of white slip. In Japan, where it was first developed by 16th century Korean potters, Kohiki is considered a ‘soft’ ceramic: though high-fired stoneware, its surface is slightly porous. Like leather or brass, with use and age Kohiki changes colour, its delicate white skin blushing with an acquired patina particular to its owner. For Hirai, that connection with the user is vital: ‘My pots are not finished when they come out of the kiln,’ she says: ‘This is just the start of their journey.’
Wood ashes, often given by friends or specially sourced, are responsible for the extraordinary shifting colours across Hirai’s exhibitions, from deep olive glazes to palest blues, lending narrative and flavour to each new show. Among the many beautiful forms joining her domestic range are her Moon jars, contemporary versions of centuries-old vessels native to Korea, examples of which she drew inspiration from in the British Museum. Hirai’s relationship with Japanese pottery remains complex. Though much of her work draws upon a Japanese aesthetic, what she has channelled from the pots of her home country she has learnt from remote guesswork, analysis and emulation.
Though it was in Japan that Hirai was first exposed to pots, it is in the UK, away from Japan’s formal pottery traditions, where she has been able to find her individual voice. That distinctiveness has transformed into deep public appeal and institutional recognition. Collections holding Hirai’s pots include the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Fitzwilliam in the UK, the National Museum of Ireland, and further abroad Germany’s distinguished Keramikmuseum Westerwald and New York’s Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse. Goldmark, with its major international ceramics audience, hopes to extend that appetite for Hirai’s work.
‘My wife has been quietly smuggling pots home by Akiko Hirai for over a decade now’ comments gallery founder Mike Goldmark, ‘so I am delighted to be making our admiration of her work official with this show. I have seen some of the pots she has made for us emerging from her studio: I suspect this will be her largest, and certainly her most significant exhibition to date.’

Matisse was born in 1869 in Northern France. By 1891 he had abandoned his law degree and started to paint. In Paris, Matisse studied art briefly at the Académie Julian and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He embraced a new range of influences, abandoning the Impressionistic palette and establishing his own style with brilliant colour and fluid line. His subjects were primarily women, interiors, and still lifes.
From the early 1920s until 1939, Matisse divided his time between the South of France and Paris. While recuperating from two major operations in 1941 and 1942, he concentrated on a technique he had devised earlier, ‘papiers découpés’ (paper cutouts), which would prove hugely influential, and was one of the first painters to take an interest in “primitive” art. He died on November 3, 1954, in Nice.
Original lithograph in sanguine ink.
This now very rare suite was printed by Mourlot Frères in Paris on pure rag tinted wove Papeteries d’Arches paper in an edition of 320 sets only, of which 300 were for sale. It was published in 1948.
Each print is accompanied by a copy of the justification page signed by Matisse.

Welcome to the action-packed Goldmark review of 2022/3.
We packed a lot into this year with exhibitions by Noel Brannan, Natsu Nishiyama, Christopher P Wood, Richard Batterham, Frank Dobson, Nic Collins, Graham Sutherland, Sid Burnard, Martin Wenham, Morwenna Thistlethwaite, Jean-Nicolas Gérard, John Piper, Kang-hyo Lee and Marc Chagall.
We also restored, and made a limited edition print of, Coventry Cathedral's great cartoon Christ in Glory by Graham Sutherland and exhibited several of Jacob Epstein's bronzes at the Cathedral, including Heroic Torso, one of Epstein's largest bronzes.
Goldmark Atelier and Goldmark Framing have both had their most successful years to date. Our print workshop is internationally respected, making limited edition prints for artists and galleries worldwide and now publishing the next generation of great artists ourselves.
Our in-house design and filmmaking teams were kept busy this year. We published 17 books, monographs and magazines and one of our films was runner-up at the Royal Television Society Awards. We have also embarked upon an exciting and ambitious film about Anthony Gross.
Our new website was also launched this year which we hope will make buying art, pots and books, viewing our films and reading our articles much more enjoyable in 2023 - Our fiftieth anniversary! As you can imagine, we've got a lot planned.

Aidan Andrew Dun grew up in the West Indies, returning to London as a teenager then travelling around the world for more than a decade before writing his first epic poem, Vale Royal. Launched at the Royal Albert Hall, it led to him being dubbed as the 'voice of King's Cross' and the book quickly sold out.

A significant aspect of Asatryan’s pictorial language is the softness of his colour tones, which evoke the sensation of touch. Surreal narratives are suffused with fairy-tale iconography, the shining elements of Asatryan’s art. Such extraordinary literary subjects range from Biblical references, with angels and lions, to Greek myths, with congresses between satyrs and nymphs.

Lisa Hammond continues to amaze with her reserves of creative energy, juggling duties as an internationally feted potter resident at Maze Hill in Greenwich and founder of Clay College Stoke, which continues to educate the next generation of studio potters.
This will be Lisa’s sixth show at Goldmark: the finest pots from the last three years’ firings have been waiting patiently, packed below the Maze Hill floorboards, for this latest exhibition. We can expect broad-bellied tsubo vases, tall leaning jugs, and Lisa’s favourite horse-eye bottles – not one to be missed!
After completing a 1 year foundation course and a 3 year diploma in ceramics at Medway College of Art, Lisa Hammond set up her first pottery in 1980. Aged only 23 she spent the next 5 years establishing Greenwich Pottery Workshop in London. In 1982 as a teacher at Goldsmith’s College Hammond was able to introduce soda glaze into her work, its pitted texture still a feature of her pots today.
As well as exhibiting all over the UK, Hammond has had several very successful shows in Japan. She spent 9 months in Sydney, Australia and has held teaching posts at Goldsmith’s College and Camberwell College of Art. She has been elected member of the Craft Potter’s Association and had her work shown in the National Gallery, London and The Tate, Liverpool.

'The saviour of sculpture in England' - Ezra Pound to Ernest Hemingway
We are delighted to announce an exhibition of 'new work' by Frank Dobson [1886-1963], one of Britain's greatest ever sculptors who was, to many minds, at least the equal of Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. Goldmark administer the Dobson estate and, like the forensic detectives they are, discovered moulds for never before editioned sculptures amongst original drawings. Goldmark commissioned, with the permission of the Estate, the Black Isle Bronze foundry In Scotland to cast editions of 28 sculptures - 21 of which have never been editioned before. They are the foundation of a wonderful new show from one of the most influential and important figures in 20th century British Sculpture, at Goldmark Gallery from 22nd October 2022.
Frank Dobson was born in London, the son of an illustrator of the same name. His early work consisted mainly of paintings, the few surviving examples showing how impressed he was by Roger Fry’s Post-Impressionist exhibitions (Stanhope Forbes, whom Dobson met in Newlyn, had been shocked by his modernism). He made his first carving in 1913, but Dobson’s first one-man exhibition—at the Chenil Gallery, London, in 1914—consisted of paintings and drawings. After the First World War (when he served in France with the Artists’ Rifles), Dobson turned increasingly to sculpture, and had his first one-man exhibition as a sculptor in 1920, at the Leicester Galleries, London.
In 1925 Roger Fry described his work as ‘true sculpture and pure sculpture … almost the first time that such a thing has been even attempted in England’. His work Cornucopia was described by Clive Bell as ‘the finest piece of sculpture by an Englishman since—I don’t know when’. and Dobson’s sophisticated simplifications of form made him one of the pioneers of modern sculpture in Britain.
Dobson was also outstanding as a portrait sculptor. He worked in various materials including bronze, terracotta, and stone, and he was prominent in the revival of direct carving. His craftsmanship in all these materials was superb and he played an important role as a liberal-minded and kind-hearted teacher at the Royal College of Art, where he was professor of sculpture from 1946 to 1953. He was made a CBE in 1947 and elected a Royal Academician in 1951. He died in London in 1963.
Frank Dobson - New Bronzes is an exhibition not to be missed. It runs from 22 October to 20 November and admission is free. The show will be accompanied by a new Goldmark book on the artist written by celebrated author Andrew Lambirth.

'We are all volatile and complex creatures - made up of atoms and particles, all-prevailing and universal. This is what I am trying to reflect.'
'When I put down a colour with one or two others they seem to ring or chime or call out to others. I love the pealing of church bells and the dawn chorus. It's all colour to me.'
'From my early days I have been aware of my dual imperatives to be impulsive and diverse whilst at the same time to underpin all I do with order and clarity. Hence the frequent presence of the grid.'

Although his work has a modern twist he is deeply steeped in Korean tradition. The beauty of his work is undeniable; spontaneous and direct, generous of form and naturally inventive. Every pot, large or small, is a work of art; each as individual as a fingerprint and perfectly weighted, a relaxed and confident marriage of style and function.
Lee's work is rooted in the major Korean ceramic traditions of Onggi pottery – voluminous storage jars originally designed for holding fermented food – and Punch’ong decoration, where white slip is layered and brushed over dark clay.
Much of his work derives its strength and energy from his unusual decorative techniques. Dancing to the sounds of traditional Korean music, he applies thick slips in a trance-like performance. Hurling, splashing, and sweeping the liquid clay onto his pot surfaces, initially with ladles, later with his bare hands, he remains totally abandoned to the rhythm of pounding drums.
'He says “Making art is like setting off to travel to places to find peace in the mind”. It is wonderful that we too can partake in this remarkable voyage.' - David Whiting.

June 18th to July 17th 2022
The wonderful driftwood creations of Sid Burnard will be on display here at Goldmark Gallery in Uppingham from 18 June http://goldmarkart.com
..Sid Burnard is putting together objects that make profound, witty and beautiful remarks about life, the universe and everything. Sam Llewellyn 2022
This new Sid Burnard exhibition at Goldmark, Uppingham, has been six years in the making and follows major exhibitions at Goldmark in 2012 [his first] and 2016. This new show will feature a walkthrough film on goldmark.tv and a 64 page catalogue with essay written by acclaimed thriller writer and children’s author Sam Llewellyn. Sid's Curious Kingdom is a show full of passion, integrity and fun, and will run for 4 weeks from 18 June. Don’t miss it.
Sid Burnard traces the true beginning of his making to a chance meeting with Mike Goldmark in 2002 who stayed in touch, and debated with him, and encouraged him, while Sid got on with life - which included beach combing. Sid's work is made from the bits and pieces he finds lying about on beaches, riverbanks and hedges. He brings these bits and pieces back to his studio, and looks at them, and adjusts and assembles them until they cease to be mere stuff and become a thing: a bird, a beast, an insect, a boat; while at the same time their component parts cling to their original state as a lump of driftwood, a toothbrush, a bottle top. This is the land of miracles, where an object can be many things at once. Sam Llewellyn
Sid Burnard was born in Brighton in 1948. Introduced to the art of beach combing by his Romany grandmother, Sid learnt to appreciate the beauty of nature from an early age. His time at Bristol Guild of Applied Arts gave him a profound understanding of visual arts and crafts and allowed him to put his personal vision into practice.
He is now based in Wales, where the flotsam and jetsam from the nearby sea is his only source of materials. Working with found objects, nothing is changed - simply introduced to one another. Sid’s driftwood pieces, usually birds, boats or mythical beasts, are bursting with passion, integrity and his unique and wonderful humour.
Sid Burnard is a merry, quirky and most amazing artist. He is playfully inventive, creating instantly familiar forms from what others would regard as debris and delighting his audience with eureka moments. His love for nature and the natural world shines out of every piece he makes. I urge you to view Sid’s work now and in the future – you will be captivated. Dr. Lee Durrell M.B.E., Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust
Jay Goldmark, the gallery’s MD, concludes:- “Sid Burnard is a true eccentric and the loveliest man you will ever meet. He lives in Crickhowell in Wales and spends much of his time scouring the Welsh beaches for driftwood and all manner of objects that might eventually be used in his sculptures. I am proud that the Goldmark Films documentary on Sid was nominated for Best Documentary in the 2012 Aesthetica Film Festival.”

Graham Sutherland’s work has a permanent exhibition space at the Goldmark Gallery in Uppingham. Now the gallery is to hold a major exhibition of his work, from 21 May, to coincide with the publication of its stunning limited edition print of the great tapestry, Christ in Glory (in the Tetramorph), at Coventry Cathedral. The Cathedral marks its Diamond Jubilee at a special ceremony on 25 May and this print aims to raise £100,000 for the care of Sutherland’s masterpiece which continues to inspire and provoke awe in anyone who steps inside the Cathedral. http://goldmarkart.com
Graham Sutherland [1903-1980] is widely considered one of the most important British artists of the 20th century. In addition to his extraordinary contribution to portraiture, public and religious commissions, and a much-lauded career as a painter in oils, Sutherland dedicated six decades of his life to printmaking and graphic design, resulting in a legacy of work that, despite its breadth, retains a powerfully unique voice.
The Goldmark exhibition of original works and rarely seen prints will therefore give visitors to the gallery and goldmark.tv viewers the chance to see work which must rank among the most expressive and evocative that this country has produced, by an artist whose impact on British post-war art was immense. An exhibition walkthrough film hosted by Max Waterhouse will be available from 20 May.
Goldmark Gallery and Coventry Cathedral first worked together in 2015 when Goldmark had the idea to produce screen prints of two of John Piper’s iconic paintings of the old Cathedral destroyed in the 1940 blitz of the city - painted on site whilst the Cathedral was still smouldering from the bombing. These prints have, to date, raised nearly £90,000 for Cathedral funds.
More recently Goldmark has loaned Jacob Epstein’s bronze Heroic Torso for the Cathedral’s current exhibition of the great sculptor’s work. Heroic Torso, which has never previously been exhibited outside of the USA, can be seen at the Cathedral until 31 May.
This limited edition print of Christ in Glory in the Tetramorph tapestry, created in Goldmark’s Atelier, will give buyers a chance to witness some of Great Tapestry’s majesty in their own home. The print is taken from Sutherland’s original illustration for the final Tapestry which has been hanging in the Lady Chapel at the west end of the Cathedral and which has been restored by the team at Goldmark. This high quality work will retail at £475 plus p&p and be available from either the Cathedral or Goldmark Gallery. Buyers will receive a certificate of authenticity signed by both the Bishop of Coventry,The Right Reverend Dr Christopher Cocksworth and the Dean of Coventry Cathedral, the Very Reverend John Witcombe.

Born in Scotland to Italian parents, Paolozzi attended evening classes at the Edinburgh College of Art and studied at St. Martin’s School of Art, transferring to London’s Slade School of Art, where he graduated in 1947. He moved to Paris where he became involved in Dadaism and Surrealism. In 1950, Paolozzi returned to London, quickly becoming a leading member of the Independent Group.
Paolozzi greatly influenced the development of Pop Art. He emerged fully onto the Pop Art scene in 1962 with his abstract, robot-like figures such as Four Towers and Solo, but of all his work his screenprints are said to have had the largest impact on Pop Art. He taught all over the world as guest professor and lecturer, and was knighted in 1988. Eduardo Paolozzi died in 2005.
Oliver Bancroft
We are a Lion
Born in Cambridge in 1976, Oliver Bancroft is recognised to be one of the outstanding painters of his generation. He has exhibited internationally and over the last two decades has become a feted filmmaker, with selections by Tacita Dean and shown in various venues including the Pompidou, Paris.
'...in his depictions of other life forms. Bancroft evidently feels drawn by the dual otherness and closeness of animals and plants, their creaturely connection to us in that we all share life, their distinctiveness in that the spirit and body of their life takes such manifestly different forms. In this crossover between affinity and dissimilarity, they open worlds to us that we would otherwise know nothing of.'
Hilary Davies, August 2021.
Sid Burnard
Sid Burnard was born in Brighton in 1948. Introduced to the art of beachcombing by his Romany grandmother, Sid learnt to appreciate the beauty of nature from an early age. His time at Bristol Guild of Applied Arts gave him a profound understanding of visual arts and crafts and allowed him to put his personal vision into practice.
He is now based in Wales, where the flotsam and jetsam from the nearby sea is his only source of materials. Working with found objects, nothing is changed - simply introduced to one another. His driftwood pieces, usually birds, boats or mythical beasts, are full of his passion, integrity and wonderful humour.
Nic Collins
Nic Collins was born in 1958 in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. A self-taught potter and woodfirer, he started building kilns and wheels during his late teens and early 20s, experimenting with raku, salt glazing and sawdust firings, and using clay sourced from local river banks.
He studied studio ceramics at Derby College of Art 1985-86 and then went on to work in potteries in Italy and Germany before returning to the UK. He now lives and works in Devon, on the edge of Dartmoor.

The present work is a unique head and shoulders bronze of the Liverpool Resurgent. Epstein modeled the gigantic sculpture in sections in his Hyde Park Studio, and the final full-length bronze was assembled at the Royal College of Art.
Epstein was born in 1880, the son of Polish Jewish refugees in New York’s Lower East Side. He moved to Paris aged 22 where he studied at the Académie Julian and the École des Beaux-Arts before settling in England and becoming a British citizen in 1911.
In London, Epstein was involved with a bohemian and artistic crowd reflected in his work. His sculpture is distinguished by its unflinching realism – a style which attracted a great deal of controversy for its departure from conventions of classical sculpture. Epstein is said to have worked to his dying day on 21 August 1959. His work is displayed all over the world and helped forge the path for younger generations of sculptors, in particular Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.

Goldmark is delighted to announce an exhibition of 50 new works from Martin Wenham, the world master of letter carving, at the gallery for four weeks from 19 March. The exhibition, called Look, That You May Hear Me, will be accompanied by a 64 page full colour catalogue with essay by Martin Wenham. There will be a walkthrough film of the exhibition available on goldmarkart.com and goldmark.tv 24/7 from 18 March and the exhibition coincides with the publication of Wenham’s seminal book The Art of Letter Carving in Wood published by Crowood at £25.
Martin Wenham started with pen lettering as a child, inspired by his father who hand-wrote posters for 'DIG FOR VICTORY' after the war, when things were still on ration and food was short. He credits Edward Johnston's classic book, Writing & Illuminating & Lettering, for part of his lettering education. Wenham began his carving career in 1967 after being asked by a colleague at the research station where he was working to carve a house sign. A professional carver who worked there and who'd been made redundant from the furniture trade kindly showed him the basics and it all developed from there.
These days my main focus is on the exploration of visual language: how meaning can be amplified and communicated through the visual form of what is read. The design and execution of the lettering, rather than an end in itself, is the means by which this exploration is pursued. What is perhaps rather unusual in my work is the extent to which the visual and tactile properties of the wood I work with contribute to, and even determine, the language I carve and the way I design the inscription. I particularly like working with wood whose history can be read, at least in part, such as offcuts, scrap and driftwood. What I am then doing is just adding another chapter to the ongoing history of the workpiece
Mike Goldmark, who founded Goldmark Gallery nearly 50 years ago, adds, As he approaches his 80th year this is Martin’s most accomplished show yet. Not content to take the easy path, Martin Wenham conjures beauty best when choosing to cut into the curve and grain of found wood or a piece of tree trunk. I believe he is the finest letter cutter in the world, the range and variety extraordinary. Look That You May Hear Me will be an uplifting demonstration of Martin’s unmatched skill.
Rigby Graham | From the Artist's Home
Saturday 19th March, 10.00am to 5.00pm
Join us for the sale of works by Rigby Graham that he chose to hang in his own home.
‘…Irascible painter whose idiosyncratic landscapes are among the 20th century’s best.’ – The Sunday Times, 2015
‘There are few people alive who can make their drawn illustrations ‘lie down’ so comfortably on a page with type – especially when he has designed the whole book himself. He is a real graphics man, and that would nail him down and mark him out, were he not such a good landscape painter and draughtsman, too. – John Piper, 1986
‘Compared with some of his better-known contemporaries he has ten times as much to say… It is Graham and not Rowland Hilder to whom historians will turn in future years to find out the look of the late twentieth-century landscape.’ – Fances Spalding, 2003
‘He was, above all, a master of line: an assured encompassing line, that quested around and drew what was pertinent, ignoring the irrelevant.’ – Andrew Lambirth, 2016
Principally a topographic artist, Rigby Graham was born in Stretford in 1931. He moved to Leicester in his early childhood where he attended Leicester College of Art, specialising in mural painting. After teaching at local schools Graham returned to lecture at the College of Art, firstly in Graphic Design and Printing, then in Education and latterly in Bookbinding. He retired from teaching in 1983.
His work is influenced by Neo-Romantics but in his colour he owes much to German Expressionism and he is considered one of the most important landscape painters of the late 20th century. The archive of his work, now at Manchester Metropolitan University, is a central resource for the study of landscape painting, lithographic and wood-cut printing, book illustration and production and private presses. Rigby died in May 2015 after a long illness.
This unique cast, a head and shoulders bronze of the Liverpool Resurgent, standing over 2 metres tall, is probably the biggest Epstein that will ever come to the market.
It was owned by the esteemed American collector Edward Schinman who, over a 9 year period, amassed the largest collection of Epstein’s work in the world. Goldmark are delighted to be lending this and two other Epstein bronzes to Coventry Cathedral for their exhibition Stories in Stone from 19th March 2022 to 31st May 2022.
By 1954 Epstein’s work had begun to receive ever-greater approval from his peers and the wider public sphere; the enfant terrible of British sculpture – a role he still inhabited at the grand age of 74 – had been deemed by many to have ‘grown up’, and a knighthood shortly followed the honorary doctorate from the University of Oxford extended to him the year before.
This post-war period was dominated by huge, monumental sculptures, works that were now so great in height that Epstein’s studio in Hyde Park Gate could no longer fully house them and which were soon relocated to larger premises on Exhibition Road at the invitation of the Royal College of Art.
Shortly before the move, Lord Woolton had approached Epstein with a commission from the directors’ of Lewis’s for their Liverpool department store. The city had been devastated by the bombing runs of The Blitz, with the Lewis’s shopfront being leveled in 1941, and it was generally felt that local services and businesses had never quite fully recovered from the upheaval. Epstein’s task was to revitalize the withered spirit of Merseyside and return something of the city’s former glory.
Woolton’s brief was undoubtedly fulfilled: Liverpool Resurgent, a strident, muscular figure stood atop the prow of a ship, answered Lewis’s directorial board with perhaps more vigour than they might have intended, a select few critics even suggesting that the unbridled eroticism of the figurehead would cause passing schoolgirls to swoon.
Certainly the work caused a stir amongst the Merseysiders at its 1956 unveiling. The Liverpool Echo reported that the statue personified a resplendent ‘Liverpool rising from the flames of war’ while locals, adopting the sculpture’s location as a convenient meeting spot, affectionately termed the well-endowed figure ‘Dickie Lewis’.
More recent receptions of the work have seen in it a likeness to the thrusting advances of Soviet socialist realism, or – in the words of Richard Buckle’s catalogue raisoneé – ‘a Khmer angel with Tony Curtis hair.’ (p. 379) Where there is consensus is in the sense of spectacle and magnitude of Epstein’s commission, in the evidence in these later large works of his ability to capture force, heart and movement at scale, and in Liverpool Resurgent’s particular importance as a symbol of vital, heroic youth for a post-war generation.

We are always delighted to host an exhibition by Christopher P Wood. This will be the third major show of his paintings at the gallery, each one attracting a host of new admirers for Wood’s magical, thought provoking and elegant work. The exhibition will open on February 19 and be accompanied by a guided online walkthrough film. A new 108 page book on the artist, An Innocent Vision, will be published by Goldmark to coincide with the exhibition. Dr Richard Davey, Senior Research Fellow at Nottingham School of Art and Design, contributes an essay to An Innocent Vision and comments, He shows us the reality of both pigment and poetry, wandering the space between wonder and knowledge, the unnamed and named where mystery exists… Wood’s paintings offer us both poetry and prose; a world where monsters prowl the bedroom and tree branches fall as patterned shadows on the wall.
Born in Leeds in 1961, Christopher P. Wood is a painter and printmaker of atmospheric and enigmatic imagery. He gained a master’s degree in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art in 1986 and has consistently had successful exhibitions in the UK and abroad. His work is held in numerous public and private collections including Harrogate Art Gallery, Leeds City Council and the Unilever Collection.
Wood’s work features magical, symbolic figures and signs, what the artist calls an exploration of the interior world of the imagination. He spends a great deal of time priming his canvases, often four times over, and builds his pictures in such a way that once begun each must be finished in a single sitting, an emotionally draining task to say the least.

Richard Batterham (1936-2021) Sale | The Mike Dodd Collection
A major sale of pots by Richard Batterham (1936-2021) will take place on Saturday 26th February from 10am at Goldmark Gallery in Uppingham. Remaining pots will be on sale online from 5pm Monday 28th February. Walkthrough film will be showing on goldmark.tv and 64 page monograph with essay by Mike Dodd will be available to purchase.
We are delighted to announce a very special sale of over 130 pots by the revered Richard Batterham, all from the personal collection of fellow potter Mike Dodd. To coincide with the sale, we will be publishing a 64-page illustrated monograph with an essay by Dodd, and a portion of the proceeds will be going to charity.
Richard Batterham (1936-2021) was one of the most respected post-war potters working in this country. Introduced to clay at 13 during his time at Bryanston School, Batterham apprenticed at the Leach Pottery (where he met his wife, Dinah Dunn) before establishing his own studio in Dorset in 1959. He remained there for over seven decades, expanding his workshop and honing the exceptional range of wares that became so synonymous with his name they had no need for a potter's mark. His work earned him the esteem of major collectors, among them Sir David Attenborough and the food writer Nigel Slater, and is currently being celebrated this year with a major ongoing retrospective at the V&A Museum.
The pots in this sale all come from the private collection of Mike Dodd, a lifelong friend of Batterham's and fellow Bryanston alumnus. They were bought over many years, to educate and inform Dodd's own work as silent teachers. Now, Dodd has decided to hand them on to the next generation of potters and collectors, in the hope that they might continue to speak and find appreciation.
'For me,' Dodd writes, 'Richard was an exceptional potter whose like only comes along very occasionally. Rounded and unpretentious in his approach, he was constantly observing, learning and refining either the clay, the glazes or the way he made things. His strong work ethic held a deep respect for potters from many cultures and gave us pots of unassuming and unselfconscious beauty and vitality. He insisted that the pots were not about him, but should reflect a deeper aliveness "to enrich and not to decorate". And in keeping with this ethos, he chose not to sign or mark his pots, preferring that the they should speak for themselves.'

Jane Kennedy, Noel Brannan’s daughter recalls, ’His work remains as a monument to his longings and self-doubt, his skill and vision, his life, his love of the world around him, and his profound engagement with humanity’. She comments that throughout his life her father never ceased sketching, drawing and painting and adds that- ‘He liked industrial and agricultural landscapes, and many of his works are where human hands have been at work - like farm buildings, pit heads and the building of the M69’.
The film and pop up will highlight the work Kennedy talks about and feature a mixture of oils, watercolour and pen and ink drawings of, for example, mines, tile works, industrial chimney stacks, quarries, factories, canals and wasteland.

Special exhibition monograph with essays and tributes will also be available.
This November sees the opening of Goldmark’s Phil Rogers Memorial Exhibition. The pots in the show have been selected from his last firings.
Phil Rogers was the very first potter that Goldmark exhibited, back in November 2005. He was instrumental in the development of the gallery’s internationally renowned ceramics side and remained an important and valued friend of the gallery.
Rogers, who died late last year after a short illness, was one of Britain’s leading potters and advocates for his craft. His work is internationally respected and examples are held in the collections of more than 50 museums worldwide, including the V&A, the British Museum, the National Museum of Wales, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, and the Museum of Modern Ceramic Art in Mino, Japan.
Exhibition opens Saturday 27th November 2021.

Exhibition Walkthrough Broadcast on Friday 3rd December 2021 on goldmark.tv.
Exhibition monograph with essay by Sarah MacDougall and Rachel Dickson will also be available.
From Saturday 4th December 2021 to 15th January 2022 Goldmark will hold its second major exhibition of paintings, prints and drawings by the mid-century Polish master Jankel Adler (1895-1949). A fully illustrated catalogue, with essay by Sarah MacDougall and Rachel Dickson of the Ben Uri Gallery and Museum, will accompany the exhibition.
Jankel Adler was one of many Jewish and Eastern European immigrant artists to come to Britain in the wake of the rise of Nazism. He was also among the most influential: his potent combination of cubist abstraction and expressionist angst profoundly inspired the younger generation of British artists he befriended before his premature death at the age of 53 in Aldbourne, Wiltshire.
The work in this exhibition dates exclusively to this last decade of his life after his arrival in Scotland in 1940. Deeply moved by the invasion of his home country, Adler had joined the Polish Western Forces in France. Alongside thousands of Polish troops, he was evacuated during the Dunkirk campaign and directed to Glasgow, where he was demobbed on arrival due to a heart condition. Here he was reacquainted with fellow Polish artist Josef Herman, and in 1941 began exhibiting at the Annan Gallery and J.D. Fergusson’s New Art Club.
After withdrawing for several months to the artists’ colony in Kirkcudbright, in 1943 Adler left Scotland and moved to a studio in Kensington, London, where he met the ‘Two Roberts’ Colquhoun and Macbryde. For young British painters not yet exposed to European modernism, Adler’s alternately vigorous and melancholic figure paintings and still lives left an indelible impression. In London he was also introduced to literary contemporaries (Samuel Beckett and Dylan Thomas among them) and united with other émigré artists from across the continent: Oskar Kokoschka, Kurt Schwitters, Martin Bloch and Ludwig Meidner.
Born in Tuszyn, near the industrial city of Łódź, Adler was the eighth of twelve children. Prior to WWI he moved to Germany and trained as an artist, and in the early 1920s established himself in Düsseldorf, where he befriended Otto Dix and Paul Klee. In 1933 Adler joined fellow artists and lecturers in signing an Urgent Appeal against the rise of fascism in Germany, forcing him to flee as Hitler solidified his hold on the country. He left for France and briefly painted in exile in Cagnes-sur-Mer from 1938-40 before deciding to enlist. It was only after the war, in 1945, that he learned all eleven of his siblings had been killed by the fascists.
Of the Goldmark Gallery’s first Adler exhibition, art historian Richard Cork wrote: ‘He was, above all, committed to telling the visual truth about a human race wracked by incessant warfare, deportation and the horrors of the concentration camps. That is why Adler’s achievement during these traumatic final years deserves to be fully recognised. ’
Founder of the gallery Mike Goldmark, whose Austrian parents also fled the Nazis after the Anschluss, comments: ‘The legacy of Jankel Adler is extraordinary: not just the intensely moving pictures he left behind him, but the effect he had on mid-century British art, which can still be felt to this day. His work is rightly housed in the great international institutions. I’m grateful to the Aukin Trust, who handle Adler’s estate, for letting us bring it to this corner of the world.’

Anthony Gross | Paintings and Prints
Exhibition Walkthrough Broadcast on Friday 22nd October on goldmark.tv.
Exhibition monograph with essay by Julian Freeman will also be available.
Long considered the doyen of British etching, Anthony Gross (RA, CBE) has been overlooked as one of this country’s finest landscape painters of the 20th century. A new exhibition from 23rd October 2021 at Goldmark hopes to redress the balance.
‘…his paintings are far too little known… An extraordinarily lively observer, he made infectious through his work his joy in the round of activities of everyday life, in both town and country.’ – Richard Morphet, ex-Keeper of the Modern Collection at the Tate Gallery (1992)
Born in 1905 to a Jewish-Hungarian mapmaker and an Irish-Italian suffragette, Gross spent his colourful life between London and the continent. Painter, printmaker, animator and illustrator, he is today best remembered for his work as an Official War Artist during the Second World War. One of the most prolific war artists, he landed in Normandy with the Allied troops on D-Day, holding his materials aloft as he waded ashore. Post-war, Gross would retire each summer to a house in Le Boulvé, leaving behind him an astonishing, decades-long record of the southwestern French landscape. He died in 1984.
As an etcher, Gross was instrumental in driving the British printmaking revolution of the 1950s and ‘60s, inspiring the likes of David Hockney; as a painter, he is yet to be afforded the fame he is due. At a time when Abstract Expressionism was taking America by storm, Gross found a style of abstraction that was quite his own – one uniquely personal, and tied inextricably to the shapes and rhythms of the natural world around him.
‘I have bought, sold, and shown the work of Anthony Gross for as long as I have been trading,’ comments Mike Goldmark: ‘I am delighted now to be representing his estate. This will be the first in a series of major exhibitions introducing Gross to a new generation of admirers, underscoring his reputation as one of our greats. A Goldmark-produced book and film will soon follow suit.’
A feature-length documentary on the life and work of Anthony Gross is underway, to be released by Goldmark Films in 2022. This will be the Royal Television Society-nominated film unit’s 25th feature documentary, joining an impressive list of film shorts and regular weekly productions for goldmark.tv.
Koichiro Isezaki (b. 1974) is one of the most exciting potters working in Japan today. Born to a potting dynasty, Isezaki has combined his exposure to 20th century sculpture and his studies in the West with his deep roots in his local Bizen tradition, producing work that is at once fresh, contemporary and connected deeply with the past.

Inspiration and subject matter for her current work reflect the British landscape tradition, especially the watercolours of Turner, Cotman and Constable; their landscape and seascapes. Her local environment of Charnwood has proved to be a significant source for her work and echoes deeper concerns for our natural environment generally.
A combination of art practice and teaching characterise Miranda’s formative and mature years. Individually and as a member of the 62 Group of Textile Artists, she exhibited for many years, in Britain and internationally. Teaching textile art followed from membership and participation with this group, then art teaching more generally. Alongside a growing interest in the needs of young people with multi-sensory impairment and the role of art, she then pursued a lengthy career both as a teacher and academic in the field at schools and universities. Following this wide-ranging involvement, she has now been able to return to the pursuit of her own artwork, involving similar themes to her textile art, but presently and for the foreseeable future, with watercolour and related media.
Additional, significant artistic influences stem from Peter Doig, Jenny Grevatte, Kurt Jackson, Barbara Rae, Eve Quarmby, George Quarmby and Stephanie Tuckwell.

'I first visited Oliver Bancroft on the suggestion of a friend. He was still a student then, living in his mother's home, and I was (he tells me) the first person to pay him real money for his work. Over the years I have continued to buy, and I now have a house full.
In the last two decades Bancroft has become a feted filmmaker, with selections by Tacita Dean and in major international venues including the Pompidou. For me, he remains the best painter of his generation.
A diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis has limited Bancroft's exhibiting in recent years. This is his first painting show in over a decade – work as fresh, beguiling and poignant as when I first saw it.
It is with great pleasure that I commend his paintings to you.' Mike Goldmark, 2021.
‘Oliver Bancroft’s paintings help to unsettle us and, in so doing, to communicate with the realms elsewhere; he leads us in the dance.’ Hilary Davies, 2021.

‘Standing in front of his paintings we might feel just such variegations of mood and feeling. They are so alive, so unpredictable, so disconcerting, and, yes, so beautiful if we make them so.’ Mel Gooding
‘I am just curious about what is going to happen … what I can do with colour… I don’t want to do what I have done before … the main thing is to do what surprises me.’ Graham Boyd
Goldmark has presented and sold the work of many classic abstract artists (from Kandinky to Miro to Caro to Hoyland) and of artists whose work deliberately incorporates alongside some kind of figuration the visual findings of abstraction (from Picasso to Matisse to Piper and Richards). It is of course the case that there are many ways in which geometric design, or artificial colour (heightened, say, or darkened, or exaggerated), or expressive brushwork and impasto, or chiaroscuro etc. − all by definition ‘abstract’ devices − are aspects of all kinds of figurative art throughout history. All art is in some sense an abstraction from observed actuality. This exhibition nonetheless, constitutes a significant moment for the gallery: for Graham Boyd is an artist utterly committed to pure abstraction, the first such artist to be ‘represented’ by Goldmark.
Graham Boyd spent two years in what was then Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in the early 1950s and the dramatic scale of the African landscape had a profound impact on his perception of space and its representation. In the 1960s and 70s he discovered acrylic and Boyd now works exclusively in that medium. These experiences and discoveries powered his decisive move away from his studies in illustration and early incarnations as a figurative and landscape painter, towards the use of form and colour as expressive means in their own right.
In 1976 he was appointed as Head of Painting at the Hertfordshire College of Art and Design, St. Albans. As a principal Lecturer, he led the team responsible for developing a unique part-time B. A. Hons. Fine Art Degree Course specially designed to meet the needs of mature students.
For the past four decades Graham Boyd has worked from his Chipperfield studio in Hertfordshire. Despite his status and global acclaim, Boyd constantly seeks to move on as an artist and attends artists' workshops and symposiums around the world, where he has worked with an international cross-section of painters, sculptors and other media artists, including the late Sir Anthony Caro and the American abstract painter Larry Poons.
