FOR SALE BY AUCTION LAURENCE STEPHEN LOWRY RBA RA, 1887-1976
THE STREET WITH MANY STEPS CROWTHER STREET
Estimate: £500,000 - £700,000 LAURENCE STEPHEN LOWRY ONE OF THE GREAT ENGLISH PAINTERS OF THE 20TH CENTURY Lowry was drawn to the topography of Stockport by its great brick viaduct, its tall chimneys, mills and busy streets. Crowther Street in Stockport was a favourite location for the artist. Lowry’s vision of a busy street relates closely to other works from the 1930’s in which he focuses on the groups and individual figures and their energy. Lowry enjoyed painting steps as his works clearly show – Crowther Street 1930, Steps at Wick 1936, The Stepped Street 1929 and Old Church & Steps 1960.
