Jasper52 presents Fine Art and Prints from the UK, Sept. 6

On Tuesday, September 6, starting at 9 pm Eastern time, Jasper52 will present a 113-lot sale of Fine Art and Prints from the United Kingdom. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.

The first highlight is an undated monochromatic mixed media portrait of singer Bob Marley by British artist Paul Karslake (1958-2020). He built his reputation through painting portraits of high-profile sitters such as Princess Grace of Monaco, Michael Caine, the Rolling Stones and Johnny Depp (admittedly, it must have helped to have a connection in the form of his sister, Jo Wood, now an ex-wife of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood). In 1990, Karslake was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. The Marley portrait measures 79 by 98cm (31 by 381/2in) and carries an estimate of $14,000-$17,000.

John Alfred Wheeler, ‘Taking a Fence,’ estimate $5,000-$6,000
