This timed auction offers just a part of the vast collection of pieces assembled over twenty years by artist, collector and dealer, Eddie Powell, and Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers have taken great pleasure in facilitating and presenting the sale of modern and contemporary sculpture for him and The Sculpture Park team.
To those who know him, Eddie is a force of nature, a man whose drive, imagination and vision have led the Surrey-based park to become the fantastical wonderland that it is today, and it was clear from the outset that he would be applying this trademark enthusiasm to
the creation of this sale.
We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Eddie and his children, Oscar and Sian, in creating this wonderful sale, guiding them through the process and applying to it our experience in presenting single-owner collections to a global audience of collectors.
Viewing: The Sculpture Park, 26 April to 19 May, 10-5
Google Lens, the ultimate way to search what you see, has teamed up with renowned antiques expert Mark-Francis Vandelli to create the ‘Google Lens Edit’. Seven lots, which have all been discovered with the use of Google Lens, will be available for bidding until Sunday 5 November, with all proceeds going to Choose Love.
Lots will be available to view on Saturday 4 November in our London Gallery.
This timed auction contains close to 50 lots as seen in season 5 of Salvage Hunters: The Restorers, a television programme in which skilled professionals work to give previously run-down, forgotten and unloved vintage and antique pieces a new lease of life, with styles ranging from country house to industrial chic to mid-century modern. Having existed for many years and often having been passed from generation to generation, choosing antique and vintage items instead of buying brand new can be the most environmentally conscious way of furnishing a home. Not only does this auction, with its selection of stylish and sustainable pieces which have been lovingly rescued and restored, allow bidders to contribute to what some believe to be the purest form of recycling, but it also offers an opportunity to own something truly unique that cannot be found in any high street store.
