L.S. Lowry by Michael Leber & Judith Sandling — Phaidon (1987)
£35
The Phaidon Monograph — A Standard Reference
Published by Phaidon in 1987, this monograph by Michael Leber and Judith Sandling is one of the most authoritative and widely referenced single-volume studies of L.S. Lowry's work. With 144 pages of plates and commentary, and a foreword by Julian Spalding, then Director of the City Art Gallery in Manchester, it combines scholarly rigour with accessibility — a book that works equally well as an introduction and as a reference for the serious collector.
Two editions are available: the original 1987 first edition hardback with dust cover, and the 2002 Phaidon reprint in softback.
