The next three works were given by Lowry to Ruth and Neville Blakey of Pendle, Lancashire, longstanding friends of the artist. Mr Blakey first met L.S. Lowry in the late 1950s, when the artist took a clock for repair in the Blakey’s business premises. During his first visit Lowry did not reveal his identity, however, by the time he went to collect the clock Mr Blakey had realised who the great man was and the pair, who had a mutual interest in collecting clocks, struck up a lasting friendship.

David Wilders (Contemporary)
Castleford born David Wilders began work at Fryston Colliery, West Yorkshire in 1976. He trained as a mining craft apprentice, coal-face worker and became a colliery Deputy in 1983. Along with painting, he enjoys experimenting with different methods of print-making. His work is greatly influenced from his underground memories and experiences in the coalmines. He has a strong theme of industrial landscape, mixing the northern landscapes of mines, factories, terrace housing, mills, and finding inspiration from his home town. David’s work can be regularly seen at the National Mining Museum, Wakefield and the Mining Art Gallery, Bishop Auckland.

All items in this catalogue that are marked with “✓” are potentially qualifying items, and the royalty charge (set out below) will apply if the Hammer Price is more than the UK sterling equivalent of €1,000. The royalty charge will be added to purchase invoices, and must be paid before items can be cleared. All royalty charges are paid to either the Design and Artists Copyright Society (“DACS”) or the Artists’ Collecting Society (“ACS”) by the auctioneers, and no handling costs or additional fees with respect to these changes will be retained by the auctioneer.
From 14 February 2006 United Kingdom art market professionals (which includes auctioneers) are required to collect a royalty payment for all works of art that have been produced by living artists, and those who have died within the last 70 years. This payment is calculated on qualifying works of art which are sold for a Hammer Price more that the UK sterling equivalent of €1,000 (the UK sterling equivalent will fluctuate in line with prevailing exchange rates). It is the responsibility of the Buyer to acquaint themselves with the actual Euro to UK sterling exchange rate on the Day of Sale. The actual qualifying threshold will be calculated by the “Artist’s Resale Right Service Hub” based on the “European Central Bank” reference rate published at 2.15pm on the Day of Sale and can be found on www.dacs.org.uk
The royalty charge for qualifying items which achieve a Hammer Price of more than the UK sterling equivalent of €1,000 is as follows:
Up to €50,000 – 4%
€50,000.01 to €200,000 – 3%
€200,000.01 to €350,000 – 1%
€350,000.01 to €500,000 – 0.5%
Exceeding €500,000 – 0.25%
For further information please visit www.dacs.org.uk or www.artistscollectingsociety.org. There is no VAT payable on this royalty charge.
Payment is accepted online via our website.
Card payments where the card holder is not present will only be accepted for transactions up to £500.
Payment can be made and purchases collected during the auction.
All accounts must be settled within 14 days of the sale. Accounts not paid within 14 days will automatically be subject to an interest charge of 5% above base rate from the day of sale.
All purchases must be collected from our Leyburn offices, unless stated otherwise, within seven days of the Sale (Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5.00pm).
