About Girl With Red Shoes Laurence Stephen Lowry RA
Broadcaster and writer Robert Robinson (1927-2011) worked on a variety of projects for the BBC, including the arts review 'The Look of the Week' (1966) and game shows 'Call My Bluff' and 'Ask the Family' (both 1967 onwards). When working for The Sunday Times in 1962, he interviewed L.S. Lowry in his studio, and wrote an account of their meeting:'August 6, 1962. Today, this afternoon, I bought this picture from L.S. Lowry. I asked him how much the little ones fetched and he said, "Oh they go very well, about forty pounds each." I asked him to show me the one of the little girl with the red feet which I said looked like my wife in photographs when she was a little girl. He set it up again. "Yes I think I like her, I think I do. Poor little thing, poor little thing," he said. I asked him when it might come on sale. "Oh it probably won't, it probably won't - why, do you like it? What do you want to give me for it?" I said (a bit embarassed) that it was up to him. "Well, they fetch forty." We looked at it again and he went on talking. "Give me thirty for it if you like." I said I didn't want to get it at cut rates, I didn't want to do him. "Wait a bit then, forty with the frame, you'll have to get it framed yourself, forty minus the frame. Give me thirty five then. Is that a fair price?"About the Posters
