Striding Nude, Blue Dress is the title of paintings by Euan Uglow (1932–2000), one of which was unfinished.
Background
editEuan Uglow (1932–2000) was a British painter best known for his paintings of nude women and still lifes.[2][3][4] He painted only from life, often taking several years to complete his artworks.[3][5]
His nude models typically posed in unnatural and often uncomfortable positions.[3][5][6] Uglow would use markings in his studio, including chalk lines and plumb lines, to maintain consistency across painting sessions.[3][5][7] His pictures, like those of his tutor William Coldstream, often contained measurement marks.[8]
Painting
editAs of 2007, the unfinished version was owned by the Uglow estate, and
£74,500[9]
As of 2007, the later version was owned by Cherry Paulette Brown.[1] It was sold at auction in March 2023 for £504,000,[10] slightly above the upper estimate of £500,000.[11]
