Jack is the most successful and popular Scottish artist in
history. Recognition has come not only through astonishing
sales of his work, but in a variety of other ways too; he
has been awarded an OBE, holds an honorary degree from the
University of St Andrew's, and his private collectors range
from his compatriot Robbie Coltrane to Hollywood superstar
Jack Nicholson. When his famous painting "The Singing Butler"
sold for £744,800 at the Sotheby's Spring Sale he became the
subject of a BBC South Bank Show entitled ‘The People's Painter’.
Jack’s latest collection displays all the qualities that have
made Vettriano into a household name - his nostalgic subject
matter, enigmatic narrative detail, and unmistakable use of
colour combine to give the viewer the strange but pleasurable
sensation of having stepped into the opening scene of a film
noir.
