Lot Essay

David Crane (1933-2017), was a keen photographer, and along with his wife Kate (1932-2001), became good friends with many of the artists living and working in St Ives after the Second World War. Together, they acquired works directly from the artists, often as gifts, or at a ‘special price’. Crane’s own highly insightful and sensitive photographs of Terry Frost, Bryan Pearce and Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, amongst many others, have been both exhibited, and reproduced internationally.
