{"title":"Anthony Gross Viewing Room","description":"\u003cp\u003eLong 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 26th September 2026 at Goldmark hopes to redress the balance. The exhibition coincides with the premiere of a major documentary, 10 years in the making, and the publication of a new book on Gross.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n‘…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)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eScroll down for an exclusive preview of our major Anthony Gross exhibition and take this opportunity to add his work to your collection...\u003c\/h5\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"la-bourdette","title":"La Bourdette","description":"\u003cp\u003eSigned and dated early watercolour with ink.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anthony Gross","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40372056621194,"sku":"AG-82068","price":3950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/5597\/3514\/products\/anthony-gross-la-bourdette.jpg?v=1640841589"},{"product_id":"hampstead-heath-2","title":"Hampstead Heath","description":"We’re delighted to present this new edition of Gross’ rare Coronation print, bearing the Goldmark Atelier blind stamp and the Anthony Gross Estate stamped signature.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1952 a ‘Coronation Series’ to be launched to celebrate Elizabeth’s coronation the following year was proposed, which was to comprise 40 lithographs printed at the Royal College of Art under the direction of Edwin la Dell, who took the opportunity to champion lithography at the college. In the end 36 artists contributed prints which were presented for sale in portfolios in an edition of 50. None of the portfolios were numbered and it remains unknown how many were printed – only that certain contributions, like Gross’, are today fantastically scarce.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGross’ Hampstead Heath presented picnickers and fairground-goers in late summer festivities, transforming his original watercolour scene into a Coronation special with added ‘Elizabeth Regina’ and ‘long live our queen’ blazons on the children’s balloons and a tiny Union Jack flag in the foreground.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe original painting now resides in the government art collection, allowing us to see the changes Gross made to enliven his lithograph. It is typical of his ‘teeming’ style, where land and cityscape ripple in a sea of inky activity. Here the trees explode into a constellatory shimmer of leaves, dancing like stars or firework squiggles reminiscent of Miró and mirrored in the scattered figures below. Gross’ compositional generosity made for one of the more interesting, and enduring, images of the series – one the Goldmark Gallery are delighted to be reviving.","brand":"Anthony Gross","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40379896135818,"sku":"AG-hamp-ga-ss","price":485.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/5597\/3514\/products\/anthony-gross-hampstead-heath3.jpg?v=1640877089"},{"product_id":"summit-1","title":"Summit","description":"Oil on canvas, signed and dated 1964.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1955 Gross bought a house at Le Boulvé, a small village in hill country, some 60 kilometres north of Montauban.
