    Poet, playwright, critic, fiction and science-fiction writer Brian W. Aldiss was born on 18 August 1925 in Dereham, Norfolk, and is the author of more than 75 books. He is also vice-president of the H. G. Wells Society, and has been greatly influenced by his work. He lives in Oxford and was awarded an OBE in 2005 for Services to Literature.

    Aldiss’ works have been influential themselves: his short story Super-Toys Last All Summer Long inspired Kubrick and Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Aldiss is also the recipient of numerous international awards for writing including a Kurd Lasswitz Award (Germany) and a Prix Jules Verne (Sweden).

    The picture I had arranged to see was ready for me and staff gave me lots of time to look at it and decide, but I loved it as soon as I saw it. No pressure. Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. I had great advice on framing and protective glass.

    Astonishing place. Driving home I realised it was probably the best experience I've ever had in a shop/gallery. I'll be filling my house with their artworks for years to come. A unique place.

    Just received my Kang-hyo Lee teacup. In perfect condition. I’m so happy with it and I think the international service offered by Goldmark is superb. The staff are so kind and extremely efficient and professional.
