Anthony McCarthy Framed Print: The Lowry, Salford Quays (Artist Proof)

A dramatic vision of one of the North's most iconic cultural landmarks, this artist proof print by Anthony McCarthy captures The Lowry at Salford Quays glowing against the night sky. The deep, richly textured composition draws the eye across the illuminated waterfront, where the Millennium Bridge and the striking angular form of The Lowry theatre and gallery are reflected in the still water below. Dots of amber, gold, and red pulse across the darkened skyline, echoing the expressive visual language rooted in the artistic tradition of the North West. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an artist proof, a designation that sets this work apart from standard print editions. Available exclusively through Lowry Shop, this is fine art for sale in its most collectible form. Presented in a smart black frame with a generous white mount, the print is ready to hang and makes a statement in any home, office, or corporate space. What is an Artist Proof? An artist proof (often abbreviated to AP or A/P) is one of a small number of prints produced before the main edition is finalised. Historically, these were created so the artist could review the print quality before approving a full run. Because of this, artist proofs are produced in very limited quantities, typically representing just 10% of the total edition, and are considered more exclusive and collectable than standard numbered prints. Each artist proof is individually signed and annotated by the artist, making it a truly unique piece.
