“ What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing.

You wouldn’t be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought.”

David Hockney

Welcome to the Autumn 2022 edition of Modern Made We are delighted to be returning to the Mall Galleries in St James’s London for the seventh occasion with a wonderful array of works that demonstrate the multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural nature of the art world in the pre- and post-war years, expressing the vitality of the art scene over this period.

From paintings to printmaking, ceramics to glass, silversmithing to jewellery, textiles to furniture, Modern Made showcases in one space some of the best of modern art, craft and design from key practitioners in their movements. Displaying work of different generations and media allows for reciprocal links and for unexpected questions to be posed and examined, with the hope of allowing it to be a forum for exploring new artists and works from modern masters to cutting edge contemporary makers.

At the heart of this edition is the largest collection of work by mid-century modern designer Gerald Summers to come to the auction market, supported by works of other leading international modernist designers of his generation. In his use of plywood Summers is considered to be one of the most innovative British designers of the 20th Century. His visionary technical engineering knowledge, combined with an aesthetic appreciation of the material, placed him as one of a group of international modernist designers, such as Alvar Aalto, Marcel Breuer and Charles & Ray Eames, who pushed the formal and structural limits of exciting new materials coming to the fore over this mid-century period.

Leading our Modern British Art section of the sale is a personal group of works by Robert Polhill Bevan from the Artist’s Estate that reveal his achievements as a painter, draughtsman and printmaker. There are also fascinating groups of works by mid-century British artists John Bratby and sculptor Bernard Meadows, that reveal a new approach to their practices in the post-war years. Contemporary art works are led by important paintings by Canadian-American artist Jack Goldstein from the 1980s that capture ‘the spectacular instant’ that had predominantly been the domain of photography. A sculptural work Still Life (Cardboard Leaning on the Wall) by leading Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone offers a witty reminder that anything can be art.

Further highlights include a section celebrating contemporary craft featuring important metalwork by Ndidi Ekubia and Junko Mori, jewellery by Peter Chang, ceramics by Akiko Hirai and Magdalene Odundo, as well as notable furniture by George Nakashima and Rick Owens.

We hope that you find the catalogue, exhibition and auction enjoyable and that you discover works that captivate and intrigue you whatever your taste or budget.

BERNARD COHEN (BRITISH 1933-)

BLACK BASE, NOVEMBER 1958

signed, titled and dated (to reverse), oil on board 122cm x 122cm (48in x 48in)

Provenance: Marden Hill House, Hertfordshire; Rowntree Clark Gallery, Norfolk.

Bernard Cohen, alongside his brother Harold (see lot 283), was part of an exciting generation of artists that emerged from London’s art schools in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Whether abstract (Cohen, Robyn Denny, Richard Smith) or loosely figurative (Hockney, R.B. Kitaj, Allen Jones) these original young British artists were linked by their love of all things American – seeing New York, not Paris (as previous generations had), as the centre of the art world. They had first seen the new American painting up close in 1956, when Abstract Expressionism formed a small but significant part of a Tate Gallery survey as 20th century American art. Three years later, the Tate mounted another exhibition, although this time dominated by abstraction and the work of the New York School. This show, however, was less of a revelation for the likes of Cohen and more a confirmation, as in the intervening years – in works such as Blake Base – he had already created a language of gestural abstraction of his own. What they took, instead, was the ambition and scale of American painting – and in the 60s, Cohen’s work would become vast and more minimal, with Kasmin’s legendary gallery on Bond Street really the only place it could be shown.

In 1957 Cohen received a Boise Traveling Scholarship and, together with the French Government Scholarship awarded to him in 1954, he was able to travel and work in France, Spain and Italy. Here he would have come into contact with tachisme – the French version of Abstract Expressionism, where the brushstroke – or tache – had been liberated from describing anything but itself, or a sense of movement or emotion. However, with his eyes on America, Cohen gives the heavy existentialism of tachisme an open, upbeat twist. Despite its title, Black Base is all about colour, as well as the weight of the paint itself (as the elements seem to hang vertically off the backing). It is a painting perfectly aligned to Clement Greenberg’s dictats – a painting that has no reference outside its own making - and yet in its colour, its informality, it does capture something of what would become Pop Art, the Technicolor world of 60s London, as it emerges from the black and white of the 50s.

JENSEN

Kern Gallery,

Sergej Jensen expressed that his work was “painting without paint”.

Known for working with an assortment of found and altered fabrics, his textile works can include wool, cashmere, silk, burlap and hand-knitted swatches, that have been glued, bleached, painted, sewed and stretched in methods that play with the idiosyncrasies of the material. Jensen’s art works often incorporate a muted palette and gestural marks that combine the representational and the abstract.

“I always say that you don’t have to understand an artwork. You have just to feel it. In my work I use very basic raw symbols, something that everybody can relate to, from a child to an old person, from the East to the West.”

Ugo Rondinone

RONDINONE (SWISS 1964-) STILL LIFE (CARDBOARD LEANING ON THE WALL), 2009

initialled and dated ‘u. r. / 09’, bronze cast, lead and paint

x 115.8cm (46in x 45 1/2in)

Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone’s Liverpool Mountain currently stands outside Tate Liverpool – a glorious and joyful statement on both the power of colour and the presence art objects can have within the wider world. Whilst its form is minimalist and brutal – part megalith, part Constantin Brancusi’s Eternal Column – the colour is maximal, playful and bright. It is this push and pull between minimalism and the expressive, conceptualism and humour, that defines Rondinone’s work – and is very much in evidence in the present work.

Still Life is, simultaneously, a minimalist sculpture, in the tradition of Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Richard Serra et al. and a ‘found object’, akin to Marcel Duchamp’s urinal or bottle rack. It is also a beautiful, witty reminder that anything can be art, if you approach it with the right mindset. Essential to these various elements working in sync is the quality of the object itself. It has to trick the eye into looking

like cardboard (for it to be a kind of Ready-made) and yet it has to have a cool beauty all of its own (to read as a work of Minimalism). This has been achieved by a painstaking process of casting the original card in bronze and then filling the cast with lead (to give it dead-weight) and then painting the surface with absolute flatness, so the only marks on it are created by shadows in real folds. That these folds then take on a painterly quality, a hint of Abstract Expressionist dynamic, is a further layer that Rondinone adds. Placed against a wall it is inevitable that our minds should wander across the lines, their intersections, and start investing them with intention and emotion.

If art’s defining purpose is to make us look again at the world around us, and to imbue it with a sense of wonder, then Rondinone’s Still Life is a perfect example. The everyday – and especially a discarded sheet of card – will never be ordinary again.

KEITH COVENTRY (BRITISH 1958-) SUPERMODEL (KATE MOSS), 2000 No. 1, stamped ‘KC / 2000 / NO 1’, gold-plated steel 66cm high, 42.5cm wide, 10.2cm deep (26in high, 16 3/4in wide, 4in deep) This work was produced in an edition of 10, plus 5 artist’s proofs. Keith Coventry is one of the least-heralded of the generation of Britsh artists that came to be known as the ‘YBAs’, despite his work featuring in many of the key exhibitions of the period, including the era-defining Sensation at the Royal Academy of Arts, London in 1997, which burnished many of the YBA (Young British Artists) artists’ legends. Coventry’s work has all the hallmarks of the ‘YBAs’: funny, irreverent, obsessed with pop culture and very deliberately – and knowingly - eliding the borders between ‘high’ and ‘low’, in terms of subject-matter. However, where it differs is that Coventry chose to filter contemporary life through the lens of art history – such as in his most famous paintings that recast council hoardings mapping the layouts of grim housing estates into the hermetic visual language of Russian Suprematism.

We see the same tactics at play in the present work: Kate Moss, the pop icon of 90s and early 2000s Britain, her image as ubiquitous as that of Liz Taylor equivalent when Warhol got his hands on here [see lot XX], is here abstracted into two mysterious golden rings. It is contemporary art recast in the language of geometric Modernism, albeit with a hint of post-Modernism and Duchamp. It is a sculpture that would be at home in Tate Modern. But equally, in the use of gold, it could also work as a totem from an ancient culture, a goddess of some unknown religion, to be found in a vitrine in the British Museum. When the ‘supermodel’ works were show at Emily Tsingou’s gallery in 2000, the only clue as to what the viewer was seeing was to be found on a postcard left near the gallery entrance. It featured a photograph of Moss on the cover of Vogue, with two circles drawn over her, revealing the underlying geometry that becomes the extent of the final works. As the critic Jonathan Jones noted in his review of the exhibition in The Guardian, ‘All [the supermodel works] have been made using a technique…Coventry borrowed from a 1930s book, Cassell’s New Popular Educator, whose cover has a man staring into the sun of knowledge and promises to inform readers about “art and literature”, “languages and history”, and “science and mathematics”. The drawing method Coventry discovered here claimed to reduce visible reality to its geometrical essentials. The inspiration came from Cézanne’s statement that one must look in nature for the sphere, the cone and the cylinder. Coventry has looked for the sphere, the cone and the cylinder in the pages of Vogue”. One might add to Jones’s review, that these shapes Coventry found in Vogue, very pointedly, turned out to be hollow.

Masters of Light: Italian Mid-century Lighting Design

Italian lighting design is steeped in a long and rich history of innovation and tradition. With the rise of Milan as a centre of design in the mid-20th century, designers took up the responsibility of creating fresh and exciting lighting solutions for the innovative domestic interiors they were creating.

Numerous iconic design houses specialising in lighting flourished in Italy in the post-war years, such as Fontana Arte, Stilnovo, Arteluce and Oluce, and they were led by pioneering figures including Max Ingrand, Gino Sarfatti and Gaetano Sciolari, whose ground breaking innovations on the play of light shaped the field globally for decades to come. The variety and quality of lamps and chandeliers produced, from Stilnovo’s iconic ‘Sputnik’ lights to Fontana Arte’s globular ceiling lights and Magistretti’s ‘Atollo’ lamps, demonstrates the versatility and vibrancy in the field, and the adaptability and possibilities of being able to incorporate them into almost any interior.

What distinguishes these Italian lighting designers is their concern both with the form and aesthetic qualities of the light, and the technical aspects of the quality of light and shade itself, whether the nuances of the glow and reflectors or new potential achievable with halogen and neon. This coming together of art and science, stems from many of the designers having originally trained as architects, and an ingrained cross-disciplinary nature in the Italian arts.

Viewed through a contemporary lens most of the works remain as fresh today as when they were first conceived, and due to their innovative approaches mid-century Italian lighting can still be a perfect accompaniment to any modern interior.

At the forefront of modernity in interior décor, the Milanese manufacturer Fontana Arte was founded in 1932 by Luigi Fontana and Gio Ponti. The very name Fontana Arte reflects the fundamental values of the company, their innovations being a balance between art and industry, as well as functionality and design: Fontana Arte elevates the domestic to the artistic, bringing art into the centre of the home. Since its creation, the company has received multiple awards, including the Compasso d’Oro for Creativity (1998) and the Wallpaper Design Award (2022), both signalling the establishment as an agent of ingenuity in design. Notably the production periods of the company’s artistic designers trace a stylistic outline through 20th century design, from modernism to post-modernism; the artistic directors include Gio Ponti, Pietro Chiesa, Max Ingrand and Gae Aulenti. Today, the company is deemed one of the most influential Italian design firms, synthesising functionality and decorative interior design.

Club Chair: 75.5cm high, 74cm wide (29 3/4in high, 29in wide); Side Chair: 78.7cm high, 47cm wide (31in high, 18 1/2in wide)

Provenance: Collection of Zeev Aram, London since the 1960s.

£700-900

Marcel Breuer first developed the design for the ‘B3’ or ‘Wassily’ Chair in 1925, taking ‘the pipe dimensions…from my bicycle. I didn’t know where else to get it or how to figure it out’. Over a period Breuer developed the chair from the original version which connected the side legs in a sled or runner arrangement, to the later version where the uprights are connected in an uninterrupted design. By the 1930s Thonet modified Breuer’s design without his permission, as they held copyright, by altering the frame at the front edge of the seat and adding a floor stretcher to stabilise the form.

ALVAR AALTO

From the early 1930s the Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto was inspired by the Bauhaus designers to experiment with tubular metal. However, he progressively opted to utilise natural materials rather than industrial ones and particularly favoured birch wood from the forests in Finland, which he used in a laminated form. The angular and geometric forms of earlier Modernism were replaced by the Mid-Century organic curves that have come to characterise so much Scandinavian design and so appealed to the American and British markets. One particular individual who was evidently inspired by his work was the British designer Gerald Summers, who viewed the exhibition of Aalto’s work at Fortnum & Masons in 1933.

An Important Collection of Furniture by Gerald Summers

Over ninety years have passed since the English designer Gerald Summers—creator of the iconic bent plywood armchair—and his partner, Marjorie Butcher, opened their London shop, Makers of Simple Furniture, in 1931. The firm’s earnest proprietors saw themselves as outsiders, but their mission to create simple, functional furniture responsive to the requirements of the modern home placed them squarely in the vanguard. While Britain’s modernists debated how to translate “the house-isa-machine-for-living-in” ethos of European modernism into a style suited to the British temperament, Gerald and Marjorie forged ahead.1 In doing so, they trusted in his rational approach to design—the emphasis on function, materials, and methods of manufacture—that he had absorbed as a young engineer’s apprentice during the First World War. For a decade, until the firm’s closing in 1940, Simple Furniture produced more than 200 designs, including chairs, chests, cupboards, desks, sideboards, tables, and wardrobes. Conceived, in Gerald’s words, as “furniture for the concrete age,” these pieces helped shape the notion of the modern interior in Britain. 2

Gerald’s work was largely forgotten until the 1970s, when historians of British design began to reassess the interwar years. Scholars focused on the remarkable bent plywood armchair. Its fluid organic form and one-piece molded plywood construction rivaled the contemporaneous work of the great Finnish designer Alvar Aalto and presaged the revolutionary molded plywood chairs of the mid-century American designers Charles and Ray Eames. Although Gerald is now known for other pieces, such as the elegant high back chair and serpentine trolley, the extent of his contribution to twentieth-century design has received scant attention, and he has been perceived, wrongly, as an outlier. He was, in fact, tailor-made to be a modernist. His engineering mindset, which regarded purpose as the prime determinant of form, perfectly aligned him with Britain’s progressive designers, who rallied under the banner of “fitness for purpose.” What set Gerald apart was the rigor with which he applied this philosophy to his furniture. “A thing had to do a job,” Marjorie said, “and so he designed it to do the job it was meant to do.” 3 Gerald held his counterparts to the same standards and often found their work to be wanting. In his published reviews of British furniture, he chastised designers who paid lip service to the modernist credo while designing for appearance rather than functionality.

Simple Furniture’s products found an enthusiastic audience among forward-thinking members of the British public. Department stores and furnishing shops in London, such as Heal’s, carried many of the firm’s stock designs. The furniture appeared frequently in magazines and newspapers ranging from the Architectural Review to the Daily Mail. Examples were displayed in popular design exhibitions. The furniture even starred in a newsreel shown in cinemas throughout Britain. Despite the quality and ubiquity of his furniture, Gerald did not receive the same level of critical acclaim in his day as established designers. This was due, in part, to his distaste for self-promotion. It was the satisfaction of a design problem deftly resolved—an elegantly proportioned sideboard, an effervescent barstool—that interested him, not the accolades. What he cared about most was the satisfaction that his furniture brought to the firm’s clients. Today, as more and more of his designs come to light, we, too, can experience firsthand the rare combination of simplicity, utility, and beauty that distinguishes Gerald’s work in its entirety and makes his furniture as compelling to us in the twenty-first century as it was to the avant-garde in the 1930s.

Cecil Handisyde (b.1908) was one of a team of architects who designed the Lansbury Estate in Tower Hamlets, London; a redevelopment project following the damage suffered during WWII. The first phase of building was undertaken as the ‘live architecture’ element of the 1951 Festival of Britain exhibition. Handisyde together with D. Rogers Stark were responsible for the design of the Trinity Congregational Church (now Methodist) on East India Dock Road. The church was a strikingly modern light and airy space designed to be versatile and also to continue its role as a community and social centre.

The legs of this chair have been formed from single strips of bent plywood, which rise to form the back supports. The great Italian architect and designer Carlo Mollino created a pair of plywood chairs for the Casa Cattaneo (now held in the Vitra Design Museum), which have highly comparable leg arrangements but he did this 20 years after Summers had designed his Type P chair. This is believed to be the only example of this chair to exist, though it is known that two were originally produced. It was described in the Makers of Simple Furniture advertising as: “Suitable for occasional or dining use. Constructed of selected birch and finished in clear polish”.

Robert Polhill Bevan: Works from the Artist’s Estate

The following highly personal group of works by Robert Polhill Bevan (1865-1925) come from the Artist’s Estate and reveal his achievements as a painter, draughtsman and printmaker. Bevan was born in Hove, Sussex in 1865 and grew up in Horsgate, near Cuckfield. He studied at Westminster School of Art, London and at the Académie Julian in Paris. His training during the 1890s also included two periods in Pont-Aven in Brittany – where he met Paul Gauguin – as well as time spent in Madrid and Tangier.

In 1897, Bevan met and married the Polish artist Stanislawa de Karlowska (1876-1952). Three years later they moved to 14 Adamson Road, London, which remained their base for the rest of Bevan’s life. The couple became key figures in London’s art world before and after World War One and held popular ‘at homes’ on Sunday afternoons during the 1910s.

As Alice Strang has explained: ‘Harold Gilman and Spencer Gore…saw Bevan’s work for the first time at the Allied Artists Association exhibition of 1908. As a result, they invited him to join Walter Sickert’s Fitzroy Street Group and Bevan was ushered into the heart of a loose association of pioneering artists.’ 1 As a founder member of the Camden Town Group (1911-13), London Group (from 1913) and the Cumberland Market Group (191419), Bevan deepened his association with these artists and others, such as Walter Bayes, Malcolm Drummond, Charles Ginner and William Ratcliffe, putting him at the forefront of English art of the period.

Karlowska’s family owned an estate at Szeliwy in Poland and the Bevans stayed there during several summers in the early 1900s. Wagon and Figure in a Landscape relates to a style of painting which he developed there and reveals Bevan’s engagement with contemporary French painting. A palette based on high-pitched tones of blue, green and violet is applied in deliberate, separate brushstrokes akin to Impressionism and even Pointillism.

The intimate Houses and Field shows how Bevan’s technique developed to create smoother fields of bold, unrealistic colour, which owes more to Post-Impressionism and Fauvism. Works painted in a related manner proved controversial when they were included in his first solo exhibition, held at the Baillie Gallery in London in 1905. Critics used words such as ‘garish’ and ‘violent’ to describe them and Bevan was to thereafter change aesthetic direction.2

In contrast, the early lithographs The Plough and Hawkridge (A Lonely Farm) show Bevan’s engagement with the Pont-Aven group, in particular Gauguin, as well as the work of Vincent van Gogh, in their curvilinear and rhythmic approach to landscape motifs. Graham Dry has explained that The Plough is one of eight lithographs of Breton subjects which are presumed to have been drawn on the stone at Pont-Aven between 1891 and 1894.3 Hawkridge (A Lonely Farm) is one of eleven lithographs based on scenes in Exmoor, where Bevan worked from 1894 until 1896, some of which were printed after his marriage in 1897. 4

Bevan was a keen countryman and spent a significant amount of time from 1912 until his death working on the Devon-Somerset borders, particularly in Applehayes, the Bolham valley and Luppitt. The Pub at Luppitt of c.1923 is a charming rural scene, executed in watercolour, crayon and pencil. Features such as the roof tiles and fence posts are carefully delineated, whilst the pecking hens in the foreground bring the scene alive. Bevan’s interest in agricultural architecture is also clear in Mount Stephen of 1924. It is a late painting of a favourite farmhouse which was the subject of at least one other canvas and of his only known wood engraving. A more subtle palette and gentle technique make it an idyllic image of life in the countryside.

During the late 1910s and early 1920s Bevan developed a striking graphic style which was shown to best effect in his lithographs. Having abandoned the medium in 1901, he returned to it in 1918 with aplomb. The Smithy, Luppitt of 1920, Rosemary, Devon and The Plantation, both of 1922, show his mature mastery of the technique, along with a simplification of form, angular structure and clarity of composition; pastoral scenes are viewed through an avant-garde lens to great effect. A London Church of 1924 shows how Bevan was able to convey subtle light effects in an image celebrating architectural splendour as the backdrop to daily life.

Bevan was a highly-skilled horseman and his images of horses, whether depicted in hunting or farming scenes, or in cab yards and at horse sales, are amongst the most celebrated of his oeuvre. He would sketch during the sales at the Barbican, Aldridge’s, Ward’s Repository and Tattersall’s, working up his notes and drawings into paintings and prints once back in his studio. He enjoyed the interaction between people and animals as much as the pace and spectacle of the event, as can be seen in lithographs such as Horse Dealers (Ward’s Repository No.1), The Horse Mart (Barbican No. 1) and Horse Dealers at the Barbican (Barbican No.2) of 1919 to 1921. Crocks of 1925 was his final lithograph and shows a pair of horses having been taken out of a cab’s shafts and led to a trough for a drink. 5

Following Bevan’s death in 1925, memorial exhibitions were held at the Goupil Gallery in London and at Brighton Art Gallery. Bevan’s works are held in many major public collections, with particularly significant holdings in the British Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, Yale Center for British Art and the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. As the artist’s son wrote: ‘I doubt whether Bevan earned as much as £4,000 in the whole of his working life. But he was at all times a whole-hearted professional artist of great determination, painting, as Frederic Gore…[wrote]… in 1965, ‘with the quiet assurance of a man who is certain of immortality.’”

“Lithography was a very important part of his artistic expression. He found it a very suitable medium for his skills…At all times he loved the feel of lithographic chalk and the handling of it on the smooth stone.”Robert Alexander Bevan the artist’s son, 1968

Exhibited: Tate Britain, London, Modern Painters: The Camden Town Group, 13 February - 4 May 2008, p. 154, no. 82 (illustrated).

Harold Gilman was born in Rode, Somerset. In 1890 he moved with his family to Romney Marsh, Kent, where he lived until 1908. He trained at the Slade School of Fine Art, London and, after meeting Walter Sickert in 1907, became a founder member of the Fitzroy Street, Camden Town and London Groups. Robert Upstone has explained about this work: ‘Gilman made a sequence of studies of Romney Marsh between about 1909 and 1912...The landscape is expressed by strictly modulating the paint in a series of broken dabs of heightened colour that lend it visual interest and these touches of paint also suit perfectly the scrubby terrain’s character. Painted on board, it is just possible that Gilman painted this before the subject, although his usual practice was to work from drawings. The picture was acquired by Gilman’s fellow Camden Town painter Robert Bevan.’ (Modern Painters: The Camden Town Group, op.cit, p.154)

Spinks, London, label K24546; Collection of the Late Sir Richard Shepherd, MP.

George Clausen was born in London in 1852. His wide-ranging training included stints at the National Art Training School, South Kensington, Antwerp Academy and later at the Académie Julian in Paris. His career began in London in the 1870s before moving to St Albans in 1881. There he had access to plentiful rural subjects, the depiction of which revealed his deep admiration for the naturalist Jules Bastien-Lepage. In 1886 Clausen was a founding member of the progressive New Art Club before a move to Essex in 1890 ushered in a new chapter of works based on country life. He was eventually appointed Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy Schools, becoming an Academician in 1908 and a Senior Academician in 1927, the year in which he received a knighthood. After serving as an Official War Artist during World War One, Clausen split his time between London and Essex. He spent World War Two living in Berkshire, where he died in 1944. Hamilton Terrace, Autumn Morning of 1933 is an assured, mature work on the theme of early morning light for which Clausen is renowned. Hamilton Terrace in St John’s Wood, London, runs in a south-easterly direction off Carlton Hill, where Clausen had a house from 1905 until his death. The source of the low seasonal light is hidden, whilst its rays cast architecture into profile and trees into shadow, except those autumnal leaves caught in golden highlights. Chiaroscuro and a muted palette create an atmospheric scene, steeped in the promise of the day to come.

GIRL

Born in Ukraine in 1888, Chana Orloff settled in Paris in 1910 becoming a naturalised citizen in 1926. She was associated with the Fauves and Cubists early in her career, and was a greatly admired and successful member of the École de Paris artists during the 1920s and 1930s. Alongside the likes of Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau and Marc Chagall, she exhibited regularly in all the major Salons and exhibitions in Paris. She worked in a wide variety of media, sculpting primarily genre subjects and portraits of which the present model is a graceful example.

“At first I am attracted by the plastic decorative side, if you prefer, and the character... I would like my works to be as alive as life...”

By repute this chair and bench originally came from Exeter Cathedral, and historic photographs of the interior show similar furniture in the church. Sir Basil Spence is not recorded as having designed work for the cathedral, however he was working on the University of Exeter in the late 1950s and early 1960s and it has been suggested that it might have been possible that furniture could have found its way from university to cathedral or he could have run something up for the cathedral while he was looking at the University projects.

The bench and seat also bears comparison to another Spence, Glover and Ferguson project at St Aiden’s Church in Leicester, whom the Bishop of Leicester had asked Spence to design in 1955, in its use of materials and some of the stylings of the furniture.

JOHN BRATBY (BRITISH 1928-1992) SELF-PORTRAIT WITH FINGERPRINTS oil on board

66.5cm x 57cm (26 1/4in x 22 1/4in)

Provenance: Julian Hartnoll, London, 9 July 2003.

The following group of four works by John Bratby perfectly embody the style and subject-matter of this most unique artist. Bratby was the enfant terrible of 1950s British Art – precocious, confrontational, full of swagger – who turned his razor-sharp eye and mordant wit on a world undepicted by many artists of the time. Bratby mined both the simple pleasures and existential pain of domestic life, particularly the bohemian poverty in which he and his fellow ‘Kitchen Sink’ painters lived. His is an art of drabness but also of burning passion –an art of contradiction – often expressed in the paint itself, which on first glance appears prosaic, hemmed in between thick black outlines, but when seen close-to is a celebration of texture and colour and the expressive quality of brushstrokes themselves.

Like his (now far more fêted) contemporaries, Frank Auerbach and Leon Kossoff, Bratby’s key interest is that the objects in his painting – people, still life, flowers – have a weight and presence that is equivalent to their weight and presence in real life. In White and mauve Butterfly Irises, the flowers in an ordinary suburban garden take on an almost human presence (John Wyndham’s dystopian sci-fi

novel, Day of the Triffids, was written in 1951). It’s the everyday seen as extraordinary – essentially a Surrealist idea, with these overgrown flowers as personnages, actors in our experience of the world around us. In Boats and David, the two fishing boats drawn up on the shingle are realised with a heavy clarity, whilst the portrait of his son is unresolved, blurred, which, in turn, gives the boats a slightly eerie quality: why are they in focus but the boy isn’t?

From the Terrace, Gritti Palace, Venice is a later work, from the period where Bratby’s new status as part of the art establishment ran counter to his still chaotic personal life, increasingly marred by drink. In some ways it is a painting as far removed from his early work that defined the ’Kitchen Sink’ aesthetic: grimy cisterns full of washing up here replaced by ice buckets and champagne. Yet in the rendering of the dome of the church of the Salute, in ghostly hues reminiscent of Sickert – that other great British painter of the dirty corners of modern life – Bratby still imparts a psychological undertone, even to this depiction of calme, luxe et volupté

Geoffrey Clarke, like so many of his contemporaries, found almost instant success and acclaim through his inclusion in Herbert Read’s selection for the 1952 British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. It was in the catalogue for this show that Read coined the term ‘The Geometry of Fear’, which later stuck as a ‘group’ name for these artists without too much in common, beyond personal friendships. Read was attempting to capture a particular quality of these young artists’ work, in counterpoint to the subtle curves of Henry Moore, whose work also featured in the Pavilion that year. For Read, the spiky and etiolated forms of these new welded and forged sculptures, often made from iron rather than bronze, spoke to the existential crisis of the post-war period, as humanity tried to reimagine itself burdened by the knowledge of Auschwitz and Hiroshima.

For all the ‘Geometry of Fear’ artists, one theme seems to have been constant: that the human and the animal were interchangeable – that man had become a changeling being, easily becoming a beast. Equally, the ‘innocence’ of animals could also stand as a clear metaphor of our ability to wreak suffering on our fellow man. Clarke, Turnbull, Meadows, Chadwick and Paolozzi – perhaps more so than Adams, Butler or Armitage – all created bestiaries of creatures imbued with human emotion. In a way, Bird One can be seen almost as the pendant to Clarke’s Complexities of Man (1951) now in the Tate. Both works resonate with human angst, but also with something deeper and more compelling. In Bird One, this is realised in the juxtaposition of the smooth, beautifully carved stone egg with the scored and rough surface of the nest and the striated form of its protective parent, its head and beak striking out into space. The mass of the egg weights and centres the work, lending the initially terrifying form of the bird an underlying warmth and humanity, its primal scream turning to a song of motherhood.

Bernard Meadows, like so many of his contemporaries, such as Geoffrey Clarke (lot 159) and Eduardo Paolozzi (lot 257-265) found success and acclaim through his inclusion in Herbert Read’s selection for the 1952 British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. It was in the catalogue for this show that Read coined the term ‘the geometry of fear’, an attempt to capture a particular quality of these young artists’ work, with their spiky and attenuated forms that spoke to the existential crisis of the post-war period, as humanity tried to reimagine itself, burdened by the knowledge of Auschwitz and Hiroshima. Read’s catalogue text was certainly inspired by Meadows’ iconic crab sculptures: ‘These new images belong to the iconography of despair, or of defiance; and the more innocent the artist, the more effectively he transmits the collective guilt. Here are images of flight, or ragged claws “scuttling across the floors of silent seas”, of excoriated flesh, frustrated sex, the geometry of fear.’

In the 1950s, crabs and birds were the mainstay of Meadows’ iconography. He wrote that ‘Birds can express a whole range of tragic emotion, they have a vulnerability which makes it easy to use them as a vehicle for people’ and in a statement written for Bryan Robertson, who curated his second solo exhibition at Gimpel Fils in 1959, Meadows also observed: ‘I look upon birds and crabs as human substitutes, they are vehicles expressing my feeling about human beings. To use non-human forms is…less inhibiting: one is less conscious of what has gone before and is more free to take liberties with the form.’

In the 1960s, however, Meadows did not continue to plough the ‘geometry of fear’ furrow, much as perhaps his gallery and the market would have liked. Instead, like his contemporary Kenneth Armitage, he looked to find a new sculptural vocabulary that spoke to the nascent optimism of the 1960s. An element of joy returns. Sculptures such as Pointing Figure and Relief: Watchers are classic

Meadows of this period. Although superficially abstract, their strong anthropomorphism is clear, the rounded forms being heads (with eyes), although slippery enough to also connote bellies or even an entire body reduced to a singular form. This shifting nature of what the forms could be is enhanced by the smooth surfaces. In contrast to his 1950s sculpture, there are no jagged edges to arrest the eye, to turn you back on yourself. Instead, Meadows’ sculpture flows with you and the space surrounding it and in this way his work returns to the conceptual world occupied by his former employer and mentor, Henry Moore.

William Gear was relatively rare amongst British artists of the 1950s in his being a fully paid-up member of a European avantgarde movement: in his case, CoBrA, named after the three key sites of affiliation: Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam.

Gear had spent the years immediately after the war in Paris, still just about the centre of the art world (before New York began to draw artists across the Atlantic) and had become entwined in what was known as the Ecole de Paris, where European painting started its own journey towards abstraction. He became friends with Nicholas de Staël and there is a definite confluence between the two artists’ work in the early 1950s, as can be seen in Still Life with Bottle. An image that is nominally figurative (depicting objects in a three-dimensional space) but which is

really about abstract values – the interplay of colour and form, creating a procession for the eye to travel around the painting, which in turn asserts its own flatness – its artificiality – in the heavy slabs of colour applied with a palette knife. The abstract nature of the work is further enhanced by its loose orthogonal structure, and Giorgio Morandi distilled through Piet Mondrian, so it could – if one wanted – be read as entirely abstract, the direction of travel for Gear himself and his work of the 1960s.

Gear’s palette in the mid-50s is often dominated by these steely blues, flat greys and blacks – close harmonies of tone through which Gear creates subtle shifts of mood. Here his work comes close to another friend from the Ecole de Paris, Pierre Soulages, himself a master of the emotive oscillation between black and blue.

“ It’s odd, but although my paintings are almost always abstract, my sculptures are almost always of some animal, bird or person. I don’t know why this is; but maybe painting is a language - a language writ on hardboard, paper or canvas. The language of colour and form - as John Wells says: “whereas sculpture is objects”. And an object, unless it be a stone, must be of something.”

Pioneer of the Pop Art movement, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi’s sculpture and printmaking is iconic.

Paolozzi initially intended to pursue a career in commercial art, but following studies at Edinburgh College of Art and the Ruskin School of Drawing & Fine Art, Oxford, he determined that he ‘wanted to make things’. In 1945 he commenced a sculpture diploma at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, where he immersed himself in European Modernism. His early sculptures in coloured concrete were exhibited to such acclaim in 1947 that he abandoned his Diploma and promptly moved to Paris, following in the footsteps of the Cubist and Surrealist artists he so admired. While in France he met many Modernists, but it was Alberto Giacometti who made the greatest impression.

After returning to London in 1949, Paolozzi taught at St. Martin’s School of Art and developed a sculptural technique he dubbed ‘the metamorphosis of rubbish’. This involved creating plaster impressions of found objects, which he would then cast in wax. These wax forms were then assembled to evoke body parts. These ‘Machine Age’ cast reconstructions appeared to examine the relationship between man and the mechanical, and were felt by many to define the atmosphere of the Cold War, earning the artist international renown.

In 1987, the novelist J. G. Ballard reflected that ‘if the entire twentieth century were to vanish in some huge calamity, it would be possible to reconstitute a large part of it from Paolozzi’s sculpture and screen prints.’

“Above all, [I am interested] in investigating the golden ability of the artist to achieve a metamorphosis of quite ordinary things into something wonderful and extraordinary that is neither nonsensical nor morally edifying.”

Designer’s Saturday was a London-wide Design Festival that ran from 1981 to 1988 and it gave companies the opportunity to present their new products and establish contacts to customers, designers and architects. Each year a leading artist or designer was commissioned to create a unique artwork to mark the event including Allen Jones, Peter Blake and Eduardo Paolozzi.

Sculptor’s Chair, created from shipping crates salvaged from the back of the Aram Design store in London, is a significant example of one of the founders of British Pop Art’s use of found objects and collage, elements that had been continuously present in Paolozzi’s work since the 1940s.

Paolozzi drew his own observations in the catalogue for the show that celebrated the 23rd anniversary exhibition of Aram Designs in 1987, where Zeev Aram had commissioned various designs by the likes of Peter Blake, Allen Jones, Norman Foster and Jasper Morrison: “A room without furniture, an empty house, a desert island – starting from scratch with a few packing cases.

In any of these situations the sculptor, after a lifetime of improvising, will reach for his tools. They are contained in a shallow box with a linen hinge and a rope handle. Another box contains the essentials of life – soap & salt, a towel and two mugs. To hand these minimal items on the wall a grill is made with the same dimension as the boxes.

SCULPTOR’S CHAIR, 1987 beech, birch plywood, rope, linen, nylon cord, hammer, metal hooks and nails, together with the handmade wooden maquette, with miniature Christmas cracker plastic tools, contained within a panelled wooden box The chair: 108cm high, 63cm wide, 57cm deep (42 1/2in high, 24 3/4in wide, 22 1/2in deep); the maquette 14.5cm wide (5 3/4in wide)

Provenance: Collection of Zeev Aram, London. £8,000-12,000

The grill also acts as a backrest for the boxes now transformed into a chair. Being geometric these boxes may evolve into a bed or, with additions stack to become a major storage unit.

Like the raw material itself, each part has a strength and individual identity and peculiar honesty, like Shaker furniture. Using basic box wood, an improvised look with the woodwork bearing the stamps of its travels or provenance, one is reminded of early still life constructions of Picasso or Rodchenko.”

In his use of found objects Paolozzi’s Sculptor’s Chair is a reaction to the branding, advertising and mass-market consumerism prevalent at the time and is suggestive of a simpler existence.

Prunella Clough relished the overlooked, the inconsequential and the mundane. Urban landscapes and industrial hinterlands were her territory.

Later in her career Clough’s work tended towards abstraction, and Skip Rope is therefore an interesting later example of representative painting of the period. This work was completed in 1999, the final year of Clough’s life; three months before her death, she was awarded the Jerwood Painting Prize.

London-born Clough studied at Chelsea School of Art. She is regarded as one of the most significant British post-war painters, and her work is held in major collections including Tate, the Courtauld Gallery, the Government Art Collection and the Ashmolean Museum. In 2007 a major retrospective of her work was held at Tate.

He believed that the foremost challenge in sculpture was the synthesis of architecture and art, and that the choice of material, whether it be marble, onyx, bronze, lapis-lazuli, agate, alabaster or cement, was of utmost importance in shaping the form of the object.

Having studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in the 1930s, the influences of the pre-war Paris school of artists such as Brancusi and Henri Laurens clearly shine through in his work and after the World War Two he associated and exhibited with the leading avant-garde artists of the period including Giacometti, Picasso and Soulages. This included being vice-president of the leading abstract collective, Espace, initiated by André Bloch, Le Corbusier and Fernand Léger.

Gilioli went on to exhibit internationally, his work is held at major institutions such as Tate Modern, London, Museum of Modern Art, New York and Museu de Arte Moderna, São Paulo. Gilioli was honoured with a retrospective at the Musée National d’Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris in 1979 after his death.

Despite being included in all the key exhibition of new British art in the 1960s – including the 1966 Venice Biennale as part of the show Five Young British Artists – Harold Cohen remains less well-known than many of his contemporaries. In part this could be due to his long parallel career in academia at UC San Diego, which began in the late 60s, but it could also be proof that it is possible – just sometimes – to be too far ahead of the curve for your own good, for Cohen has been mapping the worlds of computers and artificial intelligence since the former were a recent invention and the latter didn’t really exist. Indeed, Cohen’s experiments in fully computergenerated art in the 70s and 80s can be seen as crucial early enquiries into AI. He creation of AARON, a computer program designed to produce art autonomously, puts Cohen’s art in a space that is only just being occupied today – although today’s artist programmers seem intent in making their avatars paint figuratively, rather than ask them to

evoke something of their own electric dreams. Carahadras is an imaginary place – the fateful mountain in Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings and Cohen no doubt was aware of Tolkein’s own beautiful maps of his unseen world. Yet everything about this painting – in the colours, in the way its painted – seems the opposite of Tolkein’s feudal, medieval landscape. Carahadras is irrefutably futuristic, diagrammatic – the green and red dots forming their own binary code, on shifting wafers of a motherboard. Yet elements, too, are very much of their time. The deliberate rotation of the square canvas to form a lozenge places the work in line with American minimalism of the same date – the likes of Ellsworth Kelly – and the work’s all over surface, with no real sense of there being a ‘foreground’ or ‘background’ locates the work within Clement Greenberg’s axioms for abstract art. It is therefore very much a 60s painting, albeit one that presages a future that was, at that point, only fiction.

ANDY WARHOL

Modern Icons Meet

Andy Warhol was a game-changer in the art world, with an amazingly prescient view of how the culture of celebrity and image-making would evolve into the 21st-century. Obsessed with celebrities and commercial advertising techniques and imagery, he developed iconic works.

Both sitters in the print works offered here are icons; Dame Elizabeth Taylor was a Hollywood megastar, as well known for her work on-screen as her private life. Married eight times, famously twice to the same man, she was also an astute businesswoman who was one of the earliest celebrities to endorse perfumes, a move followed by film and music stars today as a way to diversify their income and personal brand. Sigmund Freud is an icon in a completely different area but with no less impact. His research into the human psyche and resultant theories have made him a pervasive cultural figure, consistently referred to across cultural and artistic thought and debate.

Warhol was intrigued by mortality, the vibrant image of someone in life masking the inevitability of their death and the powerful endurance of an image beyond that death. He first depicted Elizabeth Taylor in the early 1960s when she was at the height of her career, but also seriously ill with pneumonia, one of many illnesses that would plague her across her long life. Meanwhile his portrait of Freud is from a series he created in 1980 entitled Ten Portraits of Jews from the Twentieth Century, in which all the sitters, selected for their impact within their fields, were already dead.

In both depictions, Warhol applies his signature technique, overlaying a promotional image of Taylor with bold sections of colour across her lips and eyes. This painterly and dramatic make-up transforms the straight forward posed portrait into a piece of Pop Art, playing up the glamour of her celebrity image.

As art historian Robert Rosenblum has commented, ‘the contradictory fusion of the commonplace facts of photography and the artful fictions of a painter’s retouchings was one that... became a particularly suitable formula for the recording of those wealthy and glamorous people whose faces seem perpetually illuminated by the afterimage of a flash-bulb.’

The portrait of Freud has a more eventful history. Made when the artist’s career was starting to taper off in 1980, the concept for the series was suggested by his publisher Ronald Feldman and the ten subjects were selected by Susan Morganstein, the art gallery director of the Jewish Community Centre of Greater Washington. The initial exhibition of the resultant works divided critics, some of whom felt it in bad taste and others experiencing it as a creative celebration of the Jewish impact on twentiethcentury culture. With time, the series has been further interrogated and more widely celebrated, with certain images becoming widely known within Warhol’s artistic legacy. The Pop Art approach that was Warhol’s hallmark is apparent in the depiction of Freud, the line drawing outline portrait was developed from an archival photograph, which Warhol laid over blocks of colour then added some loose highlights for depth. The resultant effect is a slight disconnection of the figure, transforming an image into an icon, onto which we could read many of Warhol’s theories of self.

Warhol liked to explore the gaps and overlaps between man and machine, advertising and art. In 2022, these images, as well as their sitters and the artist remain iconic, maintaining a glamour and enigma that continues to enthral us.

“It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor’s finger.”

spray paint and

A pioneer of ‘Bad Painting’, and co-founder of the significant Mülheimer Freiheit group, Walter Dahn developed a style of painting. This questioned the idea of the medium in his simplifications and appropriation of slogans, influencing a generation of artists known as the Neue Wilde (New Fauves) movement in 1970s and 1980s Germany.

‘We were all people who came from simple or middle-class backgrounds. The wild is also a large part of the attitude at that moment’ noted Dahn. The punk movement was an important influence for him and those painters around him. Indeed, Dahn explained ‘For us, like the punk musicians, it was about creating images that we wanted to see but didn’t exist’.

With its broad brushstrokes, bright intense colours and slogan Taxi evokes punk attitudes and opposition to the avant-garde movements of minimalism and conceptual art that had been so pre-dominant. However it still manages to poke fun at itself and the movement it espouses in its simplistic pop forms.

LARGE FOOTED CHARGER

faint artist’s mark, stoneware with kintsugi 7cm high, 42.5cm diameter (2 3/4in high, 16 3/4in diameter) £700-1,000

Known for her exploration of the contrast between rough clay and smooth, translucent glaze, Akiko Hirai is one of the most prominent contemporary ceramicists currently working. Born in Japan in March 1970, Hirai originally studied cognitive psychology before she was inspired to take up ceramics following her discovery of the Korean moon jars in the British Museum. She relocated to London in 1999 and enrolled at University of Westminster in 2000 and then Central St. Martins in 2002 to study ceramics. From 2004 until 2015, she taught ceramics at the Kensington & Chelsea College in London, where she was the head of the ceramics department for the final three years.

MOON JAR, CIRCA 2005 stoneware with kintsugi, splashed brown, green and ash glazes 49.5cm high (19 1/2in high) £1,000-1,500

Hirai describes her work as a response to human senses, with each piece being made up of unique deep textures, cool colours, and simple forms to allow the viewer to understand her works in their own terms. The way in which she blends Japanese and British pottery techniques results in her celebrated, asymmetrical natural forms that are distinctly contemporary and evoke the inspiration she finds in her urban environment along with everyday scenery. Motivated by the excitement of turning her visualised ideas into reality, she embraces imperfection, irregularity, and chance in line with the Japanese tradition of Shibui that refers to an aesthetic of simple, and unobtrusive beauty. The resulting ceramics are at once subtle and quiet yet surprising.

Contemporary Craft

From ceramics to glass, silversmithing to jewellery, textiles to furniture making, crafts have played a complicated and multifaceted role in the cultural, social and art historical history of contemporary Britain that has sometimes been overlooked. During the last few decades the distinctions between art, design and craft have become increasingly blurred and crafts growing significance was demonstrated over the pandemic as the number of buyers of contemporary craft increased by over 270%, whilst over the last 15 years craft sales in Britain alone have tripled to over £3 billion.

In particular its growing importance is recognised by a younger audience keen to invest in physical disciplines, the artists and their stories. In a world often revolving around the impersonal, craft objects have become a conduit for the imagination in our homes, and there has been a growing transformation of outlook concerned with the importance placed on the integrity of the material and ideas.

We are delighted to present, promote and celebrate a number of works from multiple mediums that demonstrate the breadth, quality and diversity of artists working at the highest level in contemporary craft today. Highlights include Blossom Heart (2005) made from forged mild steel by Junko Mori, a significant and monumental Tornado Swirl (2007) vessel by Ndidi Ekubia in copper and gold leaf, and two remarkable pieces of plastic sculptural jewellery by the socalled ‘Faberge’ of the 21st Century Peter Chang.

Peter Chang had been called the Faberge of 21st Century, with his outlandish, extravagant, unorthodox and off-the-wall jewellery creations. He exploited the fundamental qualities of plastic with his high voltage colours and the malleability of the material, continually developing new techniques and ideas that earnt him a global reputation as one of the foremost maker’s in his field.

Chang used plastic because it reflected the age we live in, was anonymous and could be moulded and sculpted into objects of splendour and frivolity. He saw himself as a visual artist aiming to create a synthesis between jewellery and sculpture with a hint of fantasy thrown in and he noted that ‘I like to incorporate a bit of fun: spice it up. People take things too seriously,’

Over his career he won numerous international awards including the Jerwood Prize for Applied Arts in 1995 for his ‘lasting significance and daring brilliance’, had major exhibitions at the likes of the Musée d’Art Moderne, Paris, and in Germany at the Schmuckmuseum Pforzhei and his work is now held in the collections of museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Smithsonian, the Musée des Art Decoratifs, Montreal and the National Museum of Scotland.

Celebrated British silversmith Ndidi Ekubia’s large vessel forms are instantly recognisable for the fluidity of their hand-finished, planished surfaces. Born to Nigerian parents in Manchester in 1973, Ekubia studied 3D Design in Wolverhampton before obtaining an MA in Goldsmithing, Silversmithing, Metalwork & Jewellery at the Royal College of Art in 1998.

Her practise involves ‘pushing the metal to its limit, emphasising the fluid vitality of each form’ (Glanville, Philippa, Fluid Vitality: the Silver of Ndidi Ekubia, Goldsmiths’ Review 2013-4, pp. 30-33) and she immerses herself in

the creative process to produce works that emphasise the inherent quality of the material and permit the viewer to experience its three-dimensional aspects, as with the current work, where each angle offers a different view.

Ekubia is represented in important private and public collections of contemporary craft including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Ashmolean Museum, Oxford; Crafts Council, London; Aberdeen Art Gallery, Aberdeen; Winchester Cathedral, Winchester and the Goldsmiths’ Company, London. She was awarded an M.B.E. for services to silversmithing in 2017.

“ I am excited by the sensual and rich forms that can be created by the rhythmic process of making and believe my nature is reflected through my work. It is delightful to be absorbed in every stage, from design to the finished piece. ”

Coinciding with COP26, the international conference on climate change in Glasgow in 2021, the affordable luxury hotel brand citizenM partnered with The Glasgow School of Art and Bute Fabrics to give new life to three pieces of the instantly recognisable furniture by Vitra that adorn their hotel. Two of these objects are being auctioned to fund future sustainability education at the Glasgow School of Art.

The Amoebe Highback Chair by Verner Panton (Danish 1926- 1998) was originally designed for Vitra in 1970, and was repurposed by Masters student Yun Liu. For this piece, Liu was inspired by the Glasgow Botanical Gardens. Using a patchwork-style motif with mixed fabrics, she imagined the chair as a living organism that lands on lawns across the city, absorbing and feeding off its greenery.

Originally designed for Vitra in 2006, this Alcove Two-Seater by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec (French 1971- and 1976-) was reimagined by Masters student Ying Chang. For her sofa, Chang was inspired by the Bouroullec’s concept of seating that creates a room within a room, and explored how that can be translated to work within a space such as a hotel lobby to create a sanctuary from such a busy public space.

citizenM was launched in 2008 with a purpose – to disrupt the traditional, stale hotel industry. Rattan Chadha was inspired by his employees to create a hotel for today’s frequent travellers, giving them everything they need and nothing they don’t.

Provenance: Galerie Isy Brachot, Paris; Gimpel Fils, London.

Exhibited: Gimpel Fils, London, ‘Panamenko’, July - August 1993 (illustrated in catalogue); Gimpel Fils, London, ‘Collectors Choice’, 21 January - 4 March 2017.

Literature: Theys, Hans, Panamarenko: A Book by Hans Theys, Brussels, 1992, no.102, p.107; Panamarenko, Galerie Isy Brachot, Paris, 1989, p.21 (illustrated); £5,000-7,000

Henri van Herwegen, known by the name Panamarenko, became renowned as a painter, performance artist and sculptor whose fascination with science and technology led him to create aircraft and flying objects both semi-functional and fantastical. Martha Schwendener wrote ‘to understand Panamarenko’s work, you have to understand that lift-off is only one of many possible measures of success.’ (Artforum Review, December 2001)

Born to a family of boat mechanics in Antwerp in 1940, Panamarenko studied at the city’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts from 1955 to 1960. He soon became interested in aeroplanes and human powered flight, and this was reflected in the name he chose which is purportedly an acronym for ‘Pan American Airlines and Company’. Projects stemmed from his first major work Das Flugzeug in 1967, to a Zepplin named The Aeromodeller (1969-71) and Archiaeopterix III (1990), a mechanical chicken intended to look like a pre-historic flying dinosaur.

Champ Magnetique is part of a group of works that focuses on the kinetic force of a mechanical movement and magnetic forces, with the intention of animating the metallic disc, awaiting levitation, playing with ideas of spacecraft using electromagnetic energy. Panamarenko continued these ideas with a prototype for a seven metre in diameter flying saucer Bing of the Ferro Lusto X (1997). Designed to capture then recycle magnetic fluids, which in turn created sideways and upward movement, it offered the viewer the hypothetical knowledge of possible escape.

JACK GOLDSTEIN

Described by David Pagel in The Times as ‘a master at capturing some of the mystery that lurks just beneath reality’s surface’, Jack Goldstein remains one of the most prominent figures in conceptual art and was heralded for his role in the re-birth of painting in the late twentieth century.

Born in Montreal in 1945, he relocated to California with his family as a child. Goldstein received his training at the Chouinard Art Institute and as a member of the inaugural class of the California Institute of Arts, worked under the celebrated conceptual artist John Baldessari. After initial conceptual performance works in the early 1970s, he became involved in the Pictures Group. Taking their name from their 1977 exhibition Pictures at New York’s Artists Space gallery, the group including well-known figures such as Cindy Sherman and Robert Longo, strove to reestablish the genre of painting, with shared themes such as an interest in representational imagery and references to mass media. During the exhibition critic Douglas Crimp described Goldstein as the most prominent and most paradigmatic appropriation artist. In direct reaction to this classification Goldstein decided to start painting, continuing this for the rest of his life to the extent that many remember Goldstein primarily as a painter, rather than for his other achievements as film-maker, performance artist, musician and photographer.

With their psychedelic imagery and supernova like epicentres, the current works reflect Goldstein’s interest in documentary and archival painting developed as he sought to capture ‘the spectacular instant’ that had predominately been the domain of photography. Each painting is quiet yet explosive, instantly impactful yet pensive, distinctly contemporary yet unequivocally intertwined with history.

Often struggling with the notions of experience and presence, he was one of the first artists who sought others to carry out the physical production of his work. This desire to remove himself from his practice perhaps echoes his nihilistic explorations of the emptiness and purpose of postmodern society via authorship and documentation.

Critic Ronald Jones notably described Goldstein’s painting practice in 1987 explaining ‘Time and again he portrays the spectacular instant, its gorgeous effects: intimidating thunderstorms, majestic views of interstellar space, the staggering effects of computer imaging, the utter silence of night flying. Before his pictures it is natural to remember the vivid and poignant scenes of J.W.M. Turner and Frederic E. Church, or James McNeill Whistler’s Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket. It is natural, but rarely useful. Goldstein portrays the drama of split-second timing, the precipitous vision of the photograph and the video screen. It is his way to leave us without recourse to the narratives so necessary to the meaning of earlier art. Goldstein’s art suspends time and our gaze precisely at the point where origins and endings blur beyond recognition’ (R. Jones, Jack Goldstein: Recent Work, 1986-1987, New York, 1987, n.p.).

DAVID SHRIGLEY O.B.E. (BRITISH 1968-) PORTRAIT, 1997

1/3, painted steel 194cm high x 60cm wide x 12.5cm deep (76 3/8in high x 23 5/8in wide x 4 7/8in deep) £4,000-6,000

David Shrigley is perhaps best known today for his quick-witted drawings with satirical and political themes, often based on overheard conversations that highlight the absurdity of everyday fears and aspirations. However, in the mid-1990s, when he rose to prominence alongside those artists who came to be known as the ‘YBAs’, Shrigley was known more for his sculptural work, of which Portrait is a stunning example. There is always humour in Shrigley’s work, as well as a love of ordinary things – that can be transformed by the artist into sites of reflection, inspiration and joy. Here, a standard suburban lamp post is shrunk to the height of a human being. Then title of the work then demands we see this object as an avatar of a person. The world has become strange and real streetlights turned into giants, the walls of the gallery dissolved into the outside world. It’s key that the light works: this functionality stops it from becoming, truly, a sculpture, whilst, of course, it remains useless as a piece of street furniture. It’s in this middle zone that Shrigley holds us and makes us question.

Born in Macclesfield in 1968 and educated at the prestigious Glasgow School of Art from 1988 until 1991, Shrigley’s work spans an extensive range of media including sculpture, installations, painting, music and photography. Inspired by artists such as Marcel Duchamp and René Magritte, he teases the viewer with humorous moral conundrums, about which he has commented: ‘It’s a matter of making fun of the things you could get depressed about’.

A. BEFORE THE SALE

1. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS

Whilst we seek to describe Lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each Lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a Lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or Estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the Auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of Lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/ images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the Lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the Lot. All dimensions and weights are approximate only.

2. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS

We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the extent provided below.

(a) Condition Reports: Condition Reports are provided on our Website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a Lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the Lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and You are strongly advised to examine any Lot in which You are interested prior to the sale. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our Condition Report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way.

(b) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each Lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon.

(c) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and Estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the Catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred.

3. WITHDRAWAL

Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw.

4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS

(a) Jewellery:

(i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future.

(ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least

three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report.

(iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent.

The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report.

(iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.

(b) Clocks & Watches: All Lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. Furthermore, we make no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order.

As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys.

(c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given.

VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer’s Premium. No VAT is payable on the Hammer Price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction.

Live online bidding may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above.

2. VALUE ADDED TAX

Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant Lots.

(a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme.

(b) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique

items.

(c) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwit the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above.

3. ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY (DROIT DE SUITE)

This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the Hammer Price and in addition to the Buyer’s Premium. It will not apply to works where the Hammer Price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the Auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale.
