Anthony Gross was born in London in 1905 and studied painting and engraving at the Slade. Later he studied in Paris and Madrid and spent much of his time in France. In 1940 Gross evacuated his family on one of the last ships to leave Bordeaux. He was appointed an Official War Artist and landed in Normandy with the Allied troops on D-Day, holding his materials aloft as he waded ashore.
Gross was very prolific, producing more than 500 pictures during the War. Post-war, he stayed in France before finally buying a house in the south-west in 1955 and settled into a pattern of living and working there during the summer but returning to London each winter. In 1980 he was elected an R.A. Gross died in 1984.

About the Work
We’re delighted to present this new edition of Gross’ rare Coronation print, bearing the Goldmark Atelier blind stamp and the Anthony Gross Estate stamped signature.
In 1952 a ‘Coronation Series’ to be launched to celebrate Elizabeth’s coronation the following year was proposed, which was to comprise 40 lithographs printed at the Royal College of Art under the direction of Edwin la Dell, who took the opportunity to champion lithography at the college. In the end 36 artists contributed prints which were presented for sale in portfolios in an edition of 50. None of the portfolios were numbered and it remains unknown how many were printed – only that certain contributions, like Gross’, are today fantastically scarce.
Gross’ Hampstead Heath presented picnickers and fairground-goers in late summer festivities, transforming his original watercolour scene into a Coronation special with added ‘Elizabeth Regina’ and ‘long live our queen’ blazons on the children’s balloons and a tiny Union Jack flag in the foreground.
The original painting now resides in the government art collection, allowing us to see the changes Gross made to enliven his lithograph. It is typical of his ‘teeming’ style, where land and cityscape ripple in a sea of inky activity. Here the trees explode into a constellatory shimmer of leaves, dancing like stars or firework squiggles reminiscent of Miró and mirrored in the scattered figures below. Gross’ compositional generosity made for one of the more interesting, and enduring, images of the series – one the Goldmark Gallery are delighted to be reviving.

Wendy
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.

Goldmark have the most astonishing range, from the very affordable to the upper echelons of the market. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and really helpful. For anyone wanting to start a serious art collection within whatever budget this could be the best place to start.

There is no other gallery like Goldmark. I'm always amazed at both the stock they hold and their ability to regularly source really quite special pieces of art. That, with their friendly, knowledgeable & utterly unpretentious style makes them a delight to visit & to buy from.

Their delivery service is 100% reliable and the breadth of work displayed on their website pretty amazing. Above all, unlike other such dealers, I have never been under any pressure to buy. I recommend you give them a try.

We first visited Goldmark approximately 6 years ago and immediately liked the informality compared to previous gallery experiences. It’s a great place to start or build on your collection. Everyone at Goldmark is very friendly, knowledgeable and will give you as much or as little time as you wish.

We have bought prints and pots from Goldmark over many years and our house is the richer for the collections we have built up. The framing and delivery service are faultless.
