“London seems to be in my bloodstream. It is always moving - the skies, the streets, the buildings. The people who walk past me when I draw have become part of my life."
(Leon Kossoff quoted in: Annely Juda Fine Art, Leon Kossoff London Landscapes, 2013, online)
Leon Kossoff’s King's Cross Building Site Early Days, executed in 2003, will be auctioned on 26 June with proceeds going to Hastings Contemporary.
Hastings Contemporary recently held a critically acclaimed Soutine/Kossoff exhibition from April to September 2023. The present raw charcoal drawing was previously exhibited in Paris, New York, and Los Angeles during the 2013-2014 Leon Kossoff: London Landscapes exhibition.
