‡Guy Taplin (b. 1939) Swan Pine with glass bead eyes 75 x 79cm Provenance: Purchased from the artist in the early 1970s According to a letter from Guy Taplin to the present owner 'the goose (lot 17) and swan (lot 16) are mine...among the first things I made and the journey has never stopped'. These works were made whilst Taplin was working as a bird keeper in Regents Park. Taplin has said that 'I used to look after the ducks in the park and saw all these decoy ducks in the antique markets. I thought 'I could make some of these' - somebody came into the park and asked if they could have a few and it took off.'
