§ ALAN DAVIE C.B.E., R.A., H.R.S.A. (SCOTTISH 1920-2014) OPUS O. 1393: SORCERER'S BAG, 1998 Oil on wooden panelDimensions:48cm x 62cm (19in x 24.5in)Note: Note: Few British artists of the 20th century are quite as intriguing as Alan Davie. Low key and independent, Davie operated outwith the art world ‘scene’ until his death in 2014 which means that, despite his popularity amongst critics and collectors, he isn’t the household name he perhaps deserves to be. Hopefully this is set to alter; it is with happy serendipity that this sale coincides with a major exhibition of his work at Dovecot Studios, Edinburgh, celebrating the centenary of his birth.He met and was admired by the great collector Peggy Guggenheim in Venice in the late 1940s and was close to members of the American Abstract Expressionist movement including Jackson Pollock.Taking reference points from a vast area of art history - Celtic, Buddhist, African, Hindi and Modernist to name but a few - he created a language of emblems and symbols with the aim of capturing the 'mysterious and spiritual forces normally beyond our comprehension.' Davie’s esotericism and eccentricity earned him the reputation as something of a “shaman”, a fitting title for an artist who sought to live his entire life as an exploration of the magic that underpins art, music and philosophy.The artist has had retrospectives at the Barbican, London, Tate St Ives and Tate Britain. He was appointed CBE in 1972 and elected a senior Royal Academician in 2012.

As a result, a selection of works are being de-accessioned and the proceeds will be used to ensure that the collection remains relevant, provides maximum benefit to as many people as it can reach physically and digitally and continues to support emerging Scottish artists.Alan Davie’s Magic Casket of 1996 is a mature example of the artist’s work. His unique vocabulary of signs and symbols, combined with the implications of the title, invite the viewer to form a narrative based on personal interpretation. Davie is the subject of an exhibition which runs at Dovecot, Edinburgh until 24 September 2022.To find out more about Art in Healthcare please visit: https://www.artinhealthcare.org.uk/
