Sale Title : Ablade Glover's vivid, impasto paintings search for, and delight in, the vibrancy of life and paint. Using individually distinctive marks, Glover's well-collected and much-loved works, explore the patterns and energy of complex spaces such as bustling market stalls. Over the course of his distinguished career, Glover's importance as an artist and educator has been recognised both in Ghana and internationally.

Until 1994 he was Head of the Department of Art, and Dean of the College of Art at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana. In 1993 he founded the internationally acclaimed Artist's Alliance Gallery in Accra. Glover has been awarded the Flagstar Award (the highest award for Arts in Ghana) in 1998 an AFGRAD Alumni Award from the African-American Institute of New York and was appointed as Life Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, London. His works are included in public and private collections as diverse as The Imperial Palace Collection, Tokyo UNESCO Headquarters, Paris Tiroche DeLeon Collection, Israel and Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, USA.
