THE ALCHEMIST OF SUBURBIAA selection of work from the master's career that has been up for auction. As an unofficial site, I'm trying to make this as useful as possible for a Carel Weight resource by including as many books, cards, prints and posters as I can. For an artist with a career as long as his it's quite hard so would really appreciate any help. I want to do all the releases in chronological order.The pages don't make any money - indeed I have to subsidise them through sales of memorabilia etc.. So I have to find the time around getting money in to do these pages. I do think it's important to have a catalogue of all his releases. So if you can help with any details on releases then I will put them here. Any info. on the release, including date and country published, would be very useful. You can e-mail me here ihuppert5@aol.comThe key places in his work, though not all, where he made his magic out of the suburban, are from his home in Clapham to his studio in Putney. Plus the Thames and Gravesend but it's those aforementined suburban streets, the back gardens, the alleyways that are familiar to many and root his magic in reality. He really was kind of alchemist living in Surf London.As of 2020, I do think Carel Weight's work is a worthwhile investment (understatement), at the very least from a financial perspective. Putting aside the obvious beauty, the disquitening, unique beauty, his prices lag way behind those of his friends, Spencer and Lowry, and one of his pupils, Hockney. It only takes a major retrospective, a documentary, a celebrity collector coming out of the closet, something, anything, to happen and the prices may skyrocket. The work is all there, that vast array of wonderfully troubled and troubling canvasses, patiently waiting to be discovered by a wider audience.Time will tell.Thanks.
