London gallery Dellasposa has included David Bailey’s ‘Marie Helvin (Chasing Rainbows)’ (1976) in its August 2026 discoveries mailing, presenting the work as an archival inkjet print, framed and signed by the artist on verso. The listed price is £18,000 plus shipping.
The image appears within the gallery’s wider selection of modern, post-war and contemporary works circulated to collectors through the “Dellasposa Discoveries: August 2026” email. Alongside Bailey’s photograph, the mailing also highlights works by George Condo, David Shrigley and Pablo Picasso, situating the Bailey print within a group of editions and originals aimed at private sales and advisory clients.
Dellasposa describes itself as a Kensington, London gallery by appointment, and says it presents bespoke private views and curated events and exhibitions showcasing artworks by leading modern, post-war and contemporary artists. In that context, the Bailey print is being offered not as part of a public exhibition programme in the email, but as one of several available discoveries for collectors who may wish to enquire directly.
Bailey is identified in the mailing through the work itself rather than through a longer biographical note, and the image title indicates the subject Marie Helvin. The catalogue details supplied by the gallery are precise: the print is framed, signed by the artist, with an image size of 74 x 50 cm, a sheet size of 85 x 60 cm and a framed size of 90 x 65.5 cm.
The listing is one of the higher-priced items in the August selection. It sits above Shrigley’s ‘Just Fly Away (Try Not to Look Back)’ (2022), priced at £3,195 plus shipping, and below Picasso’s ‘Le Vieux Roi’ (1963), which is listed at £22,750 plus shipping. George Condo’s ‘Prismatic Head’ (2024) is also offered in the same mailing at £13,500 plus shipping.
The email invites interested viewers to contact the gallery by email or phone and notes that Dellasposa offers private sales art advisory services, as well as private views and curated events and exhibitions. It also provides the gallery’s Kensington base and contact details for consignment and advisory enquiries, reinforcing the mailing’s role as a collector-focused sales platform rather than a ticketed public show.
The work’s title, date and edition status are not expanded upon in the email beyond the supplied catalogue information, and no additional exhibition history or provenance is given in the source material. What the listing does establish is a framed archival inkjet print of ‘Marie Helvin (Chasing Rainbows)’ (1976), signed on verso and offered through Dellasposa’s August 2026 discoveries mailing at £18,000 plus shipping.
