Note: Iain R. McIntosh RSA was born in 1945 in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, and studied at Gray’s School of Art. Trained as a sculptor, he is perhaps best known for his wood-carved boats and sailing vessels, inspired by his coastal upbringing. In recent years he has also begun to create paintings and drawings but his subject matter is still never far from the sea. He was elected Associate of The Royal Scottish Academy in 1981 and full Academician in 2005. His work rarely appears at auction but in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 9th May 2021, lot 525 an untitled 25cm high wood carving (by McIntosh) sold for £500 (hammer).
