Patrick Procktor, who has died aged 67, had his first show at the Redfern gallery in Cork Street, London, within a year of setting out his stall as a professional artist. Procktor's show was a sell-out before the opening. A year later Bryan Robertson selected him for the first and most famous of the New Generation exhibitions at the Whitechapel gallery, the show that helped propel co-exhibitors like Hockney, Bridget Riley and John Hoyland into their careers. Procktor travelled light, carrying his box of watercolours and using the results of his work abroad as the basis for richly rewarding series of graphics. He had a long collaboration with the brilliant printmakers Alecto, and throughout his life stayed with the Redfern gallery. One of the best of his sets of prints was a sequence for a new edition of The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, based on Gustave Doré's famous engravings but with a sense of the light fantastic very distant from Doré's gloomily gothick imaginings. On the basis of his first sell-out exhibition, Procktor bought and furnished the flat in Manchester Street, Marylebone, which he kept all his life.
