Richard Smith CBE, British 1931-2016- Bucklee, 1972; oil, wood and canvas, signed and dated 1972 on the reverse, 225 x 90cm (ARR) Provenance: Christie's, 21 Mar 2013 lot 162; Roger Hilton Gallery, where purchased by the present owner. Note: “Bucklee” is a pun on the name Stephen Buckley, a dear friend of Richard Smith's who owned works by the fellow Pop artist. There were several works in a series - including a large piece which apparently hung in a Neal Street Restaurant. We're not sure that that one is still in existence. With thanks to the Richard Smith Estate for their assistance cataloguing this lot. Please refer to department for condition report
