Paul Kenton – City of Romance, gone for good?
I feel like I've missed out on something special here. A limited edition print by Paul Kenton that we stumbled across by accident while visiting an art gallery in Keswick, Cumbria. I tweeted about it at the time and we wanted it there and then but due to other commitments and lack of funds we passed up on the opportunity, one to which we are both regretting now.
This particular piece was a signed limited edition of 95 that were only ever distributed by Washington Green (Paul Kenton's publishers) and they sold out far too quickly, turning out to be one of his most popular pieces. The publisher themselves have been most helpful in giving advise where to source it from and we have been offered his other work Cafe Rouge, however it doesn't mean the same to us.
Secondary Art Markets
I'm now on the hunt for this piece from the secondary art markets, advised to us by Washington Green and that's proving to be a challenge in itself, who do you go to and who do you trust? There aren't even web sites available with some of these dealers and i guess if your not an expert in Art you really are going to have a challenge sourcing what your after. We however will just keep plugging away in the hope we stumble across it by chance at some point in the near future.
