Growing up in the celebrated artistic community of Great Bardfield, Chloë was surrounded by leading figures such as Edward Bawden and Michael Rothenstein and deeply influenced by the extraordinary women of that circle, including her mother, Sheila Robinson – a pioneering artist and collaborator with Bawden at the Festival of Britain.
Chloë Cheese (b.1952), 'My Mother’s House', lithograph in colours (£300–500)
In her talk, Chloë will explore the vibrant Bardfield community of the 1950s and ’60s, shining a light on the often-overlooked contributions of women artists of the time, while reflecting on how attitudes toward women in the art world have shifted – and the challenges that persist today.

We are excited to share a collection of works from the estate of John Nash that features in our 31 March 'Modern & Contemporary Art' auction.

One of the most rewarding aspects of our auctions is the opportunity to present a personal collection - an intimate glimpse into the tastes, influences and inspirations that shaped an individual’s life. This March, our Modern & Contemporary Art sale offers exactly that: a capsule of 20 works (lots 202–221) from the private art collection of Michael Rand, the celebrated art editor and director of The Sunday Times Magazine.
