Acquisition
Teddy McDonald produces a limited number of works per year. Each is placed selectively.
Studio approach: Teddy's practice is defined by restraint and intention. Works are produced in small numbers and resolved individually in the studio ensuring a close relationship with its creator. Each release is shaped by consideration for the long-term relationship between the work and its owner.
Unique works: Working with familiar materials, premium papers and canvases, Teddy McDonald produces no more than 10 x unique large scale works and a limited number of unique objects and smaller oil pastel works annually. He places his work selectively with collectors and collaborators whose values align with his practice.
Studio releases: Editions are deliberately low and some include hand-worked elements - therefore each is unique within the edition. Time-limited, once expired these editions are permanently closed.
Below are selected examples. Prices for all works are strictly on application.
