Made in Britain celebrates the very best of British creativity, bringing together paintings, works on paper, sculpture, prints, photographs and studio ceramics by the most renowned artists and makers working in the UK in the 20th and 21st centuries.
This summer’s iteration of the Made in Britain sale includes the main Modern British Day sale, with works by classic names such as L.S. Lowry, Ben Nicholson, Ivon Hitchens and Lynn Chadwick, alongside their contemporaries who were working across other media at the time. Our Made in Britain sale contextualises these artists in the 'cool Britannia' feel of the 20th century, a cultural moment that continues to inspire British art making of the present day.
