Add to basketThis print is reproduced from an original 1953 oil painting of football fans converging on Burnden Park, Bolton Wanderers' old football stadium. Originally titled Football Ground, the painting won first prize in a competition organized by the Football Association, which came as a surprise to Lowry who had no idea that the pictur…e had been entered. In 1999 the painting was bought by the Professional Footballers' Association for £1.9 million, a record price at the time for a Lowry painting, and then subsequently sold by them in 2022 for another record breaking price of £7.8 million. Edition of 300. Colour offset lithograph on heavy wove paper. Signed in pencil lower right by Lowry, Fine Art Trade Guild blind stamp lower left. Image size: 52.8 x 68.0 cm. Sheet size: 64.3 x 78.5 cm. Framed size: 78 x 91 cm. Tape residue to extreme top edge, light browning to verso, otherwise a bright unfaded copy in excellent condition. Framed in a dark wood and gold leaf frame with conservation acrylic glazing.
