Post lot text
In the early 1960s Simon Nicholson lived in St Ives, where he had a studio above the Penwith Gallery. The bracken used in the present work would have come from either around St Ives or from the Isles of Scilly, his two favourite places.
We are very grateful to the artist's family for their assistance in cataloguing this work.
