Dating of works

Michael Fell did not routinely date his work. Dates given on this site reflect the Estate’s best current assessment, based on documentary sources, stylistic comparison, materials, studio photographs and exhibition records.

The following conventions are used throughout the catalogue:

• 1972 — a specific year is documented (for example through inscription, exhibition, acquisition or archival record)
• c. 1972 — an approximate year, based on available evidence
• 1970–1975 — the work is believed to have been made over a period of time or cannot yet be assigned to a single year
• 1970s or 1970–1979 — a decade attribution, used where more precise dating is not currently possible

Dates and attributions are reviewed and updated as research continues.
