‡Paul Feiler (British, 1918-2013) Whip hoist, 1950 signed and dated (upper left) oils on board 22cm

‡Paul Feiler (British, 1918-2013) Whip hoist, 1950 signed and dated (upper left) oils on board 22cm x 27cm. Provenance: The Redfern Gallery, London. This work by Feiler produced in 1950 can be considered as one of the earlier works of his first mature phase. It clearly is based on his observational approach of the period but is also significant as an example of his development towards abstraction and so marks an important point in his career. In the present lot Feiler's interest in all things to do with quay sides and harbors is clear to see, with his depiction of a whip hoist (the hoist attached to the furthest tip of a crane). These became subjects he pursued through the early 1950s.

Sold for £4,000
Estimated at £2,000 - £4,000
