Specialist art publications were rare, few public institutions addressed contemporary art and only a handful of commercial galleries exhibited the work of foreign artists. Including just five artists linked with the artists' colony at St Ives - Alan Davie, Roger Hilton, Peter Lanyon, Patrick Heron and William Scott - and drawn from the exceptional holdings of the Canadian media magnate David Thomson, it represents the finest group of postwar British art to come to the market since that amassed by another collector of genius, the anglophile American Stanley Seeger, in 2001. British postwar art in general, and British abstraction in particular, remains hugely undervalued in relation to its European and US counterparts. As the Modern British art dealer James Holland-Hibbert puts it: "There seems to be a stigma about British art, as if it were not relevant to the rest of the world. For me, Peter Lanyon is the best of this group, and a great Lanyon is as good as anything by any of his international contemporaries."
