The poetically titled ‘Swoon Away in Ecstasy’, is provenanced from Charles Blackman’s personal collection. It is a beguiling, entrancing image — a flurry of eyes thrown across streaks of black. Whispered in the background is a cat, Blackman’s familiar, come to play.

Like an Edgar Allen Poe poem, ‘Swoon Away in Ecstasy’ is darkly seductive. It will enliven collections of important works on paper and modern art, and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from the Charles Blackman Foundation.
