Beryl Cook art collection will make you smile
From dustbin men to hen parties and caricatures of women jogging; Beryl Cook (1926-2008) had a skill of turning our everyday lives into humorous artwork. One of Plymouth’s most loved artists Beryl’s work never fails to make you smile and now there is a renewed interest amongst collectors eager to own a signed artwork.
Plymouth Auction Rooms have firmly established themselves as the ‘go to’ saleroom for Beryl Cook art, having sold several original paintings and hundreds of edition prints. Auctioneer Paul Keen “we love having Beryl’s pictures on display around the saleroom, everyone comments on them and discuss their favourites”.
The upcoming art auction in Plymouth will showcase some rare signed limited-edition silkscreens including such titles as ‘Percy at the Fridge’, ‘Tenerife Days’, ‘Angels’ and ‘Bar and Barbara'. The collection is the fourth collection this year at the salerooms and comprises over 20 artworks. The value of these prints range depending on scarcity, but bidding will open for some at just £200 but watch out for the rare ones they could make over £1,000!
The auction will be held on Tuesday 27th September at 6:00 p.m. at the salerooms in Cattedown, Plymouth. Click here to browse the catalogue.
