Reginald John 'Reg' Williams (York 1928-1992): Untitled, abstract mixed media with pigmented resin and fibreglass unsigned 62cm x 75cm Notes: Reg Williams was a member of the 'York Four' along with fellow artists Russell Platt and John Langton, and studio potter David Lloyd Jones. This work was probably produced in the 1950s, when Williams pioneered this method of working with resin and fibreglass, which he also used to produce stained-glass effect windows such as those in St Michael's Church, Wombwell. Born in Birmingham, Reg studied at the Royal College of Art, where he was made a Royal Scholar in 1955, and graduated in 1957. He was a Senior Lecturer at the York School of Art 1957-1986, during which time he was a founder member of the York Four in 1963. His work is in the permanent collection of York Art Gallery, and commissions by him can be found at St Michael & All Angels Church, Wombwell, and The Retreat, York. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Austen Hayes Gallery, York, the New Contemporaries, and more. His daughter Sarah is also an established artist. Our thanks to the artist's daughters Leslie and Sarah for their help in cataloguing this lot.

Everyone I have dealt with or spoken to on the phone has been most helpful and reassuring. Though the auction was running late it was a pleasure to browse through your beautiful premises whist we were waiting for our lot to come up. Thank you.
