* ALAN KING PAI (SCOTTISH 1946 - 2013) THE MESSENGER
oil on canvas, signed and dated '96, titled and inscribed verso
framed and under glass
image size 34cm x 28cm, overall size 67cm x 62cm
Note: A fine example of the work of Alan King, a frequent contributor and a great favourite in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auctions between 2008 and 2013.. McTear's has established a succession of UK auction record prices for Alan King's work in recent years and the current record is £3600 for Weavers of Truth, lot 275 27th November 2016. Although Alan was a much respected and successful artist during his lifetime, auction prices since 2013 have continued to rise, even though very few collectors have so far opted to sell their examples of his work. The red hat is an Alan King "trademark".
