Craigie Aitchison

17 December 2021 - 31 January 2022

PIANO NOBILE is pleased to announce that we now represent the Estate of Craigie Aitchison. A remarkable artist who often achieved perfection through simplicity, he was one of the most original British artists of his generation. His use of saturated mineral colouring betrays a mixture of vision and craftsman-like skill.
