The Connor Brothers are the pseudonym of artists and former London art gallery owners, Mike Snelle and James Golding. In 2014 two British former gallery owners confessed they were behind The Connor Brothers. The name was initially created to represent a fictional American artist duo, Franklin and Brendan Connor. The artworks set out to explore the boundaries between truth and fiction and make sense of the world. This often manifests itself in the recreation and reimagining of 1950s posters and vintage paperback book covers, but also more generally in the form of silkscreen prints and paintings.

 

Messums Art Market says: A Mills & Boon themed artwork sold at Christie’s auction house in September 2013 for £5,250. An acrylic painting, “Thrilling News”, on a similar theme sold at Bonhams in March 2014 above estimate for £9,375.

Original price was: £1,500.Current price is: £1,250.
