Joash Woodrow An artist's life! Marketing and art have nothing in common. You pursue the one or the other... and in finale market recognition is short lived while art recognition being long to come by will be long lived... in the Guardian by Nicholas Usherwood """ The chance discovery in a Harrogate bookshop in 2001, by the painter Christopher P Wood, of six volumes of an engraved Victorian art history, wildly and exuberantly annotated in a series of Picasso-esque drawings and collages by the then completely forgotten painter Joash Woodrow, led directly to the re-emergence of one of the most significant artistic figures in postwar British art. A visit a few days later by the Harrogate dealer Andrew Stewart to a small, semi-detached house in north Leeds, where Woodrow had lived alone for 20 years, uncovered an extraordinary story. The house was filled with some 750 canvases and around 4,000 works on paper, a lifetime's achievement which a devoted family was none the less contemplating consigning to a skip.
