Still Life on Black Table (II)

The Story

William Scott was a leading figure of mid-20th-century British abstract art, a painter who reinterpreted everyday subjects through color and form in a new visual language. This work displays his signature abstract still life, conveying deep feeling through simple composition. Its sale price at Bonhams shows that his work still commands high regard in the contemporary art market. His work in particular reflects well the turning point of British abstract art in the 1950s and '60s, giving it high art-historical value.
