John Tunnard occupies a vital yet often understated position within British modernism. His work moves fluidly between abstraction, Surrealism and landscape, while resisting easy categorisation. Intellectual yet instinctive, modern yet rooted in the natural world, his paintings create a compelling visual language that feels increasingly resonant in today’s shifting cultural landscape. As interest in Surrealism continues to grow, Tunnard’s imaginative and psychologically charged works speak with renewed clarity to contemporary audiences.
This remarkable collection, assembled over a lifetime by Professor Brian Whitton, represents the most comprehensive private holding of works by John Tunnard ever to come to market. Scholarly in its scope and deeply personal in its formation, the collection traces the full arc of Tunnard’s artistic development, from early experimentation to mature, fully realised compositions.
A special Talk and Tour titled A Singular Vision: The Legacy of John Tunnard in a Private Collection will be held at Anderson House on Tuesday 21st April from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, led by auctioneer and director, Fred Wyrley-Birch. To RSVP, contact joseph@andersonandgarland.com
