Artist's Resale Right ("droit de Suite"). If the Artist's Resale Right Regulations 2006 apply to this lot, the buyer also agrees to pay us an amount equal to the resale royalty provided for in those Regulations, and we undertake to the buyer to pay such amount to the artist's collection agent.
During the 1990s Clatworthy developed a skin problem and was forced to temporarily abandon sculpture. Concentrating instead on drawing and painting, he produced heads, figures and a series of abstract paintings. He was able to sculpt again in 2001.
