About the Item

A John W. Mills (1933-2023) ‘Studies For Three Kings’ Framed watercolour on paper. Signed on the front by prolific British artist John W. Mills, We are privileged to be in possession of the finished work that was generated from these studies in lifesize and large editions. This piece is inspired by the Alvin Alley ballet ‘Les Trois Rois’, which features a pas de deux in which two dancers dance to the music of Duke Ellington, who makes the third King referred to in the title. John W. Mills (1933-2023) John Mills was a highly acclaimed English sculptor, celebrated across the globe for his contemporary statues, bronze figures and artistic maquettes. Mills showcased a flair for sculpture from a young age, first exhibiting at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1951 and then hosting his first one-man show at the AIA Gallery, London in 1959. Throughout his distinguished career, Mills went on to receive several prizes and accolades and many notable commissions. Some of his most famous works include the monumental memorial to The Woman of World War II in Whitehall, London and the National Firefighters Memorial near St. Paul’s Cathedral, London. Following the sculptor’s passing in 2023, the contents of John W. Mill’s creative studio at his family home in Hinxworth Place, Hertfordshire were dispersed. These sculptures formed part of this curated collection, offering a rare chance to obtain original works made by the artist, including sculptural pieces for garden, interior and exhibition.
