Out of the Blue, a mounted limited edition from gallery favourite, the late, great Bill Tolley. This is edition 72 of 225.
A typically Tolleyesque landscape, full of quirky little houses in jewel like colours, where Bill's characteristic egg shaped, pastel coloured hot air balloons float high over the mountains into the blue sky. Crowds gather in the green fields below to watch the spectacle
Re-selling on the secondary market on behalf of a private collector, the initial owner purchased the limited edition directly from publisher, Solomon & Whitehead. It has been stored mounted since publication in 2008, and has never been framed or displayed.
Approximate dimensions: the image size is 27cm wide x 32cm high, with outer mount dimensions of 44x50cm.
As Tolley fans will be aware, Bill sadly passed away in 2011, and his work is very rarely offered for sale.
Here at The Braithwaite Gallery, Bill's work has provided us, and our customers, with much joy in art form, for almost 20 years; we initially discovered his work through publishing house Solomon & Whitehead, who published Bill's first limited editions of his stylised little houses, at the same time as they were publishing the figurative work of our own Mark Braithwaite. Happy days indeed!
