Finn Juhl is regarded as one of the great designers of the 20th Century, crafting high quality furniture with an air of relaxed sophistication, In the 1950s he began to export his furniture, particularly to the USA. This was the first time that Danish design was seen internationally and so it is Finn Juhl’s designs that people most associate with the Danish aesthetic.
The Diplomat Chair, complete with Juhl’s signature ‘floating’ seat and backrest was designed in 1962 and was used to furnish the Danish Embassies around the world. It was manufactured in Denmark by France & Sons, who was the first Danish design company to have its own factory. They made furniture of the highest calibre and Charles France, the company’s founder, refused to join the Association for Quality in Denmark after its creation, saying that their standards would never match those of his factory.

125 Hughie O’Donoghue b.1953 ON THE RAPIDO II ‘ROMA’ Oil on linen canvas, 52" x 61" (132 x 155cm), signed, inscribed & dated 1998 verso.
Provenance: Purdy Hicks Gallery, London (label verso).
Literature: ‘Hughie O’Donoghue, Painting, Memory, Myth’ by James Hamilton for Merrel, 2003 (illus).
T he Battle of Rapido River was fought from 20 to 22 January 1944 as part of the Battle of Monte Cassino. It was an unsuccessful attempt to break the German line, with many casualties and was one of the largest defeats suffered by the U.S. Army during World War II.
H ughie O’Donoghue has long been fascinated by war – not the grand military moments depicted in traditional history painting, but the story of the individual. The starting-point for the artist has been an engagement with his father, Daniel O’Donoghue’s, experiences as an infantryman in the Second World War, centering on his retreat from France through Cherbourg in June 1940, after the evacuation of Dunkirk, and the advance in Italy in 1944, including the Battle of Monte Cassino.
A s part of this series O’Donoghue also produced ‘On the Rapido III’, that measures almost seven metres long, relating to the narrowest width and depth of the Rapido River near Cassino, Italy, during that crossing.

L iterature: Ciarán Carty, Robert Ballagh, Magill, Dublin, 1986, pp. 74-5; Damien Matthews, Robert Ballagh: Works from the Studio, Damien Matthews Fine Art in association with the Gorry Gallery, Dublin, 2006, p. 33 (for a discussion of another work in the series).
Provenance: Whytes, 26 November 2007 (lot 43), catalogue entry read:
I n 1968 Ballagh was commissioned by Sir Basil Goulding to paint a series of large murals for Goulding’s Fitzwilton offices in Wilton Terrace, Dublin. The murals, which are now in the collection of TCDD, were composed of abstract fields of colour resembling countries on a map. The random dispersal of the areas of colour, originally conceived of as ink blot drawings, suggested the arbitrary nature of so many national and political boundaries. Ballagh went on to create a series of these ‘maps’, which won an honourable mention in the under-25 section at the 1968 Living Art exhibition. In 1973 Ballagh incorporated similar maps into his designs for two Irish postage stamps commemorating the centenary of the World Meteorological Organisation.

(d) Lots marked with † are those which deVeres hold a financial interest in. 4. The Auction (a) The Auctioneer has absolute discretion to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots or to withdraw any lot or lots from the sale, to refuse bids, regulate bidding or cancel the sale without in any case giving any reason or previous notice.
