12 Frank McKelvey RHA, RUA, 1895-1974 WOMAN FEEDING CHICKENS (c.1920/1922) Oil on canvas, 18" x 24" (46 x 61cm), signed. Provenance: The Oriel Gallery, Dublin, where purchased by the present owner’s father in the 1970’s. From 1911 Frank McKelvey attended the Belfast College of Art where he had a distinguished career and where the painting master, Alfred Rawlings Baker (1864-1939), greatly influenced his handling of paint – which was loosely Impressionistic – and his choice of subject matter. In Woman feeding Chickens, which is a fine example of McKelvey’s early work, the setting is probably a scene at the Maze, near Hillsborough in County Down, where the artist had a cottage and where the valley of the river Lagan provided constantly changing subject matter. At the Maze cottage McKelvey and his wife kept a flock of about sixty hens – doubtless this picture represents that flock – and apart from their domestic use they provided constant subject matter for him. ‘It was through this opportunity,’ he wrote, ‘that I was able to study poultry in all effects of sunlight – a subject in which I have always been deeply interested’ (McKelvey, unpublished biographical note, artist’s papers), a comment that illustrates his seriousness about his work. Such pictures have a homely, genre feeling about them and represent a bygone age. The moderate impasto employed in much of the composition, and notably in the foreground and middle distance, is characteristic of McKelvey’s early work, whereas in later years his application of paint became thiner, at times being almost stained onto the canvas. Compositions such as this cast McKelvey in the tradition of Walter Osborne (1859-1903) and Dermod O’Brien (1865-1945), who followed an essentially English tradition of plein-air painting derived, ultimately, from Constable. McKelvey was gifted with a superb technical fluency and an inquisitive mind. For him painting represented a sense of discovery and this imbues his work with a constant freshness. He was a regular exhibitor at the RUA and RHA exhibitions in Belfast and Dublin. Dr SB Kennedy Est. €15,000 – 20,000 14

13 Charles Lamb RHA RUA 1893-1964 A HARBOUR AT CARRAROE Oil on canvas, 10" x 14" (25 x 35.5cm), signed; signed and inscribed verso. Est. €2,000 – 3,000

15 Louis le Brocquy HRHA, 1916-2012 GARLANDED GOAT (1950) Aubusson tapestry, 60½" x 49½" (154 x 126cm), signed & dated 1950; Signed Tabard Freres et Soeurs label verso no. 1006. Provenance: Ex collection Howard Robinson. Louis le Brocquy’s introduction to tapestry making originated in 1948 when the Edinburgh Tapestry weavers, an ancient industry under the patronage of then Marquis of Bute invited a number of painters working in London to design tapestries. It was a formidable group that included Stanley Spencer, Jenkel Adler, Graham Sutherland and Louis le Brocquy who later continued working in this medium in collaboration with the Tabard Workshop at Aubusson in France. Two figures that were influential were Jean Lurcat, the great French tapestry designer and Pablo Picasso. “Travellers” in 1948 was the first of these produced by le Brocquy at the Tabard workshop. The second and perhaps le Brocquys best known tapestry is “The Garlanded Goat” produced in 1949/50. The Goat is the embodiment of the leering King Puck, hero of the ancient Puck fair in Killorglin, Co. Kerry. London critic Robert Melville has written of it “apart from a few of Lurcat’s, it is the most successful tapestry I have seen and a superb latter-day example of Celtic art of surface decoration”. Est. €60,000 – 90,000

16 William Scott RA 1913-1989 GREEN PEARS AND PAN Watercolour and gouache, 22" x 30" (56 x 76.2cm), signed & dated 1975, Archive No. 1093. Provenance: Santa Barbara Museum of Art, California 1976, Martha Jackson Gallery, New York 1976, St. Matthew’s Gallery, Texas 1978, Gimpel and Weitzerhapper, 1983, John Reward, New York, Gimpel Fils & Co., London. In the early 1970’s after a retrospective at the Tate Gallery in London, Scott continued to explore this neoclassical version of the still life in both large and small oils, as well as in gouache. New forms came in and old forms were revisited, pears, grapes, eggs, napkins etc. had featured in earlier still lifes and then had been shunned for many years. From 1973 they return – writing an introduction to a 1976 Exhibition, the Japanese critic Chui Ikehamci, refers to Scott’s claim to find “beauty in plainness, in simplicity and continuity: but these recent paintings were not produced in a day. Like the cows he breeds today at the farm in Coleford, he seems to tumble over forms and line, colours and constructions continuously, and as a result can produce works in which is incorporated the clarity of his insight”. A well-established pear tree flourishing outside the house at Coldford meant that pears were around seasonally, ripening on and then off the tree. For a while they became Scott’s only sitters. (See William Scott by Robert Lynton, Pages. 333-334) Est. €30,000 – 40,000

17 Tony O’Malley HRHA 1913-2003 STUDIO TABLE Oil on board, 24" x 36" (61 X 91.5cm), signed; signed and inscribed verso, opus no. 612. Exhibited: “Tony O’Malley Exhibition”, IMMA, July 2001 - Jan 2002. Provenance: Ex Collection George McClelland. O’Malley spent most of the 1960s within the artistic fabric of St. Ives, Cornwall, working alongside the leading figures there. The style of painting at that time showed a tendency to build a palette around stark harmonies of black and white and the lower range of the colour spectrum. The other Irishman associated with the group, William Scott, is an obvious example of this, as can be seen in this work. see Tony O’Malley edited by Brian Lynch Est. €6,000 – 9,000

18 Tony O’Malley HRHA 1913-2003 MORNING LIGHT (1989) Oil on board, 29½" x 55" (75 x 140cm), signed lower left. Provenance: Solomon Gallery (label verso). From 1974 until the late 1980’s O’Malley and his wife, Jane, spent some of the winter in the Bahamas. A wonderful contrast can be found between the bright, exotic colouring of the Bahamian paintings in contrast to the cool dark Irish paintings. O’Malley responded to climate and Aidan Dunne writes in the 2005 book on the artist “There is no question but that the Bahamas were important to his work. At the very best they broadened his palette- even in a direction that he didn’t particularly relish a he noted in conversation with friends in 1980: ‘There were kinds of yellows and pinks. Not the colours that I liked actually, but they did come in – demanded to be done’. At the most they provided him with a new series of challenges that led him in an unexpected and immensely rewarding direction”. Tony O’Malley ed. By Brian Lynch Est. €20,000 – 30,000

19 Frederick Edward McWilliam RA HRUA 1909-1992 LEGS PROFESSIONAL I Bronze, 16" high, signed 1/5. Literature: No. 458 in ‘The Sculptor F E McWilliam’. Exhibited: Taylor 1979; Arts Council of Ireland 1981, cat. no. 141, illus. p. 91; Banbridge 2008, exh.cat., illus. p. 113. After the emotional and political comment of the ‘Women of Belfast’ and the ‘Banners’ McWilliam reverted to a series of ‘Legs’ in 1978, which extolled the beauty and elegance of women’s legs and providing the sculptor with the means to excel in his detail of feet. He had, in his studio, posters advertising women’s nylon stocking and photographs of ballet dancers, which he could source to produce highly expressive drawings, which he modelled in clay and plaster before casting in bronze. When he began casting these small bronzes, McWilliam kept detailed notebooks with a drawing of each work, alongside details of the numbers cast, at which foundry and then the subsequent exhibitions and sales. In ‘Legs Professional 1’ the truncated body focuses on the lithe right leg with its expressive pointing of the foot which captures the agility of the leg movement which is stabilized by the other strong leg, firmly placed on the floor. This work combines McWilliam’s love of feminine beauty, frivolity and the play of light on the highly polished bronze surface. Dr Denise Ferran, April 2013 Est. €10,000 – 15,000

20 Frederick Edward McWilliam RA HRUA 1909-1992 FORWARDS Bronze, 15" high, signed 1/5. Literature: No 412 in ‘The Sculptor F.E. McWilliam’ Lund Humphries 2012. Exhibited Waddington 1975 and Banbridge 2008 – 2009, exh.cat. illus. p. 105. Although McWilliam was trained in Fine Art at the Slade School, London, with sculpture as a subsidiary subject, he began his long career as a sculptor in 1932 carving the human figure from fallen cherry trees in the garden in Buckinghamshire on his return from France and marriage to fellow art student Beth Crowther. Even though the sculptor changed his themes every three years, and moved from carving in wood and stone to modeling and casting in bronze from the late 40’s and 50’s onwards, the figure remained constant in McWilliam’s work. Born in Banbridge before partition and then growing up in Northern Ireland, his experience of the ‘Troubles’ affected him deeply and resulted in the ‘Women of Belfast’ series of 1972/73 after the bomb in the Abercorn restaurant. This was followed up by the witty ‘Banner’ series of 1975, which depicted the women of the North who marched for peace. McWilliam, who had an abhorrence of sectarianism since childhood, regarded these women as survivors and campaigners, united in pain as mothers, grandmothers, aunts and sisters. The series also gave vent to McWilliam’s intrinsic sense of humour in the midst of pathos, with titles ‘Mange Tout’ (Man get out), ‘No Life before Death’ (a play on the Belfast wall messages ‘Is there Life before death’. This illustrated work, of a lone figure of a woman, holding on high a banner optimistically proclaiming ‘Forwards’ captures the energy, faith and hope we women held onto in the darkest days which did bring peace and the beginning of reconciliation, albeit twenty years later. Dr Denise Ferran, April 2013 Est. €10,000 – 15,000

21 Anne Redpath ARA, OBE, RWA, RSA, RBA 1895-1965 STILL LIFE – FLOWERS IN A VASE Oil on board, 24" x 20" (61 x 51cm), signed; with a complete work, ‘Still Life - Table Top’ on reverse. Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner’s father. This joyous still life, painted in the early 1950s, represents the period of Redpath’s work when she achieved a satisfying balance between structure and exuberance. It is at the point when she moves beyond the lessons she had learnt from her distinguished predecessors The Scottish Colourists – where their compositions had been considered and deliberate hers had become intuitive and dynamic. She had always been a natural colourist herself. This she attributed to the influence of her father who had been a designer of tweed – ‘I do with a spot of red or yellow in a harmony of grey what my father did in his tweeds’. A comment particularly apt to the present painting. By the time that this still life was painted Redpath’s reputation was established both in Edinburgh and London and the fact that the board is painted on both sides would be due to natural thrift or impatience rather than necessity. When she had returned from living in France for fourteen years with her husband and three young sons in 1934 they were very poor and many of her best paintings are double-sided because of her lack of materials. In this instance it would be more of a case of Redpath, deciding on the floral composition, not having the patience to wait to acquire a fresh board. Although unsigned the reverse side stands on its own as a finished composition. Patrick Bourne Est. €80,000 – 120,000

Still Life – Table Top (verso)

22 Damien Hirst b. 1965 ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE LOVE LOVE (2008) Silk-screen print with 25 colours including a glaze and pearlised tinter on 410gsm Somerset Tub sized paper 60" x 60" (152.5 x 152.5cm), signed. Edition 32/50. Shortly after graduating from Goldsmiths (1989), Hirst began work on a series of paintings after seeing flies get stuck on primed canvases in his Brixton studio. Taking this idea, but wanting to create something beautiful, Hirst started fixing the bodies of dead butterflies to monochrome gloss-painted canvases. The following year, he incorporated a number of similar works into ‘In and Out of Love (Butterfly Paintings and Ashtrays)’ (1991). The choice of household gloss is integral to the works, intended by Hirst to “look like an accident of paint with butterflies stuck on it”. [1]. For the artist, the appeal of butterflies is created largely by the appearance of life they retain in death. The monochrome paintings are the earliest example of his use of the insects, which were to become one of his most recognisable motifs. On their repeated appearance in his work he explains: “I think rather than be personal you have to find universal triggers: everyone’s frightened of glass, everyone's frightened of sharks, everyone loves butterflies.” [2]. [1] Damien Hirst cited in Damien Hirst and Gordon Burn, ‘On the Way to Work’ (Faber and Faber, 2001), 133. [2] Damien Hirst cited in Damien Hirst, ‘I Want to Spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere, with Everyone, One to One, Always, Forever, Now’ (Booth-Clibborn Editions; Reduced edition, 2005), 132. Est. €15,000 – 20,000

23 Basil Blackshaw HRHA b. 1932 BIRDS-FOOT Watercolour and acrylic on paper, 40" x 33½" (101.5 x 85cm), signed. Provenance: Fenton Gallery Cork (label verso). Accident plays a big part in the life of Blackshaw as a painter. A trip to Letterfrack in County Galway some years ago by Basil and his devoted partner Helen Falloon resulted in Helen spotting a school jotter abandoned in a puddle of water. On picking it up Helen opened it up to discover it was a little fellow’s school jotter of ‘dried flowers.’ She considered leaving it on the bridge to dry out in the hope that someone might eventually reclaim it. Basil liked it and made it clear to Helen he’d like to keep it. But why “anything out of the ordinary attracts me.” replied Blackshaw. A vision was born. Out of this happy accident emerged Blackshaw’s version of ‘Bird’s Foot’ a common wild flower seen in parts of Ireland. One senses he ‘made’ the painting assisting its birth using a little plaster to pin it down on his surface. In his execution of the work Blackshaw revisited another feature which crept into his work from early 2000 onwards. The suggestion of using an inch rule down the side of the page. This again is akin to journeying back to childhood, marking off the page as we all did as children. Marks slip into this composition almost without our seeing them. To Blackshaw each and everyone of these marks is central to the painting as a whole. Eamonn Mallie

Est. €10,000 – 15,000 30

24 Louis Le Brocquy HRHA 1916-2012 FIGURE 1960 Oil on board, 10" x 6¾" (25.5 x 17cm), signed and dated 1960. Provenance: Gimpel Fils, London (label verso). “le Brocquy paints as though he is searching for something, a hidden sense lurks powerfully within and behind his painted images, something tentative and pure” Colm Toíbín, Representing Art in Ireland 2008. This quote from Toíbín gives one an insight into LeBrocquy’s figure studies that became known as his Presences in which the human figure/torso emerges from an intense white background. The driving force behind these paintings was the artist’s wife, Anne Madden, whom had suffered major operations in the late 1950s following a riding accident. Her torso was encased in white plaster following the operations and hence this series of delicately executed works emerged. Est. €8,000 – 12,000 31

25 Mary Lohan Contemporary SEA, DONEGAL (2005) Oil on canvas (diptych), each panel 30" x 42" (76 x 107cm). Provenance: Vangard Gallery, Cork (label verso). Dublin born, Lohan has established a deserved reputation as an outstanding seascape painter since her first exhibition at the Riverrun Gallery, Dublin in 1990. She has exhibited extensively and has had several acclaimed exhibitions at Taylor Galleries, Dublin. Est. â&#x201A;Ź4,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 6,000

26 Martin Gale RHA b. 1949 SATURDAY EVENING, SUNDAY MORNING Oil on canvas, 54" x 72" (137 x 183cm),Triptych, signed and inscribed verso. Provenance: Taylor Galleris, ?DDublin The main theme running though Gale’s work is contemporary Irish landscape and new people interacting with it. His paintings often create a dark commentary on rural life in Ireland. He has always been very conscious of the inroads, often to urgent effect, that urban expansion has on the rural countryside. Gale has an extensive C.V., having exhibited extensively throughout Ireland and further afield. He has won numerous awards and is regarded by many as one of the finest painters working in Ireland today. Est. €10,000 – 15,000

32 Louis Le Brocquy HRHA 1916-2012 CUCHULAINN IX Aubusson tapestry, 71¾" x 71¾" (182 x 182cm), signed on a René Duché label attached verso, ed. 3/9. Le Brocquy carried out a series of wonderful black brush drawings as illustrations to Thomas Kinsella’s book The Táin (1969). The impact created by these drawings led on to a series of lithographs and then to tapestry. The first of these Táin tapestries was commissioned by architects Swift Tallon Walker for P.J. Carroll’s factory in Dundalk. The Táin, which is the Irish word meaning ‘hosting’ or ‘gathering’ of a large crowd for a raid, gave the theme to the tapestry. Le Brocquy has said in reference to these tapestries “I have tried to produce a sort of group or mass emergence of human presence, features uncertain – merely shadowed blobs or patches – but vaguely analogous perhaps in terms of woven colour to the weathered, enduring stone boss-heads of Clonfert or Entremont – of Dysert O’Dea... This poses a difficult pictorial problem. Pictorially a mass of individuals, conscious of each other, implies incident – better left to photography perhaps. In Clonfert each individual head is conscious only of the viewer vertically facing it.”

To this series of tapestries executed in 1973 and 1977 le Brocquy added three further designs in 1999 including Cuchulainn IX. (See Louis le Brocquy, Aubusson Tapestries, Taylor Galleries Dec 2000. Extracted from Exhibition Catalogue)

Long regarded as one of Ireland’s foremost contemporary painters, this artists’ work forms part of important public, private and corporate collections across the world. A member of Aósdana, recent solo exhibitions include Cacciola Gallery in New York’s Chelsea district and a twoperson show on London’s Cork Street with renowned international sculptor Sir Anthony Caro. Smith usually produces his works in series. Within these series he revisits many symbols used since the beginning of his career such as the knots present in Knots: United Field Painting II in the Field Series. In this series the knots, the three leaved shamrock, signifies complicated connection. The painting is divided into three rectangular sections, which adds to its complexity and interest. Smith’s physicality in paint handling heightens the drama in the painting and the interaction between the three fields. John Noel Smith is represented by Hillsboro Fine Art, Dublin, who specialise in Contemporary and 20th Century Irish Art. Est. €4,000 – 6,000

52 Edward McGuire RHA 1932-1986 DEAD BIRD Oil on canvas, 14" x 12" (36 x 30.5cm), signed; dated 1959 label verso. Provenance: Dawson Gallery (label verso). Edward McGuire, former member of Aosdána, was the son of Edward McGuire senior, a senator and amateur artist. For this reason McGuire signed his name Edward Augustine initially but quickly found acclaim and dropped his middle name in his signature. He underwent training in Florence, Rome and the Slade School in London and spent time living in France, as well as the Aran Islands off the coast of Galway. McGuire was a wellknown portraitist but the greatest section of his work was dedicated to his paintings of dead birds such as this one. On his colour, Dorothy Walker notes that he takes no specific pleasure in the use of colour and was influenced by Rene Magritte. This painting is typical of this restraint in colour with its narrow range of dull blues and greens. Upon being asked why he painted dead birds McGuire wittily replied “because they do not move”. However, success in McGuire’s paintings is, in part, due to the artist making these dead birds appear alive.

64 Marc Handelman American b.1975 TRADEMARK Oil on canvas, (102.1 x 208.3cm), signed verso. Provenance: Rubicon Gallery Dublin (label verso). Adopting the languages and motifs of iconic images, Handleman’s paintings crop, manipulate and invert their sources to formulate abstracted and fragmented fields that resound with the uncanny. Through this re-ordering Handleman draws parallels between media, kitsch and spirituality inspired by American luminists such as Frederic Edwin Church and Fitzhugh Lane. Handleman’s canvasses incorporate light as a dramatic tool, simultaneously configuring associations of grandeur, heraldry and divinity, while underscoring their representation as artificial constructions. Handleman has exhibited extensively in Los Angeles and New York and critical acclaim. He has also exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery, London. He lives and works in New York. Est. €10,000 – 15,000

Her work deals with a variety of themes from the domestic and personal to political, and ranges from careful realism to quirky expressionism that owes much to the influence of Otto Drix. In much of her early work, Duffy transmutes the raw material of her experiences growing up as a Catholic woman in 1970’s Ulster. She is a highly regarded artist with something to say and her work is included in numerous private and public collections. Est. €2,000 – 3,000

83 Basil Blackshaw HRHA b.1932 STUDIO DOOR Acrylic and collage on canvas, 72" x 54" (183 x 137cm), signed & inscribed verso. Provenance: Fenton Gallery, Cork, where purchased by the present owners. Exhibited: Cork, Fenton Gallery, Basil Blackshaw, 23 September-21 October 2005. Blackshaw’s paucity of comments and observations about ‘Studio door’ is matched by the sparseness of details of his creation. ‘Studio door’ houses so much mystery. Is this the inside or the outside of a door? The suggestion of a knob might imply the outside but this is not convincing. Is this the door leading into Blackshaw’s barn studio in County Antrim or the contrary? We are not sure. “It could have been any door” remarks Blackshaw. “I just remember visions of things I’ve seen” added the reticent Blackshaw. “It’s the relationship of marks. That’s all painting is.” Is this a studio door at all? “And what of the low key earth colours deployed in realising your vision”, I asked. “They were probably the only ones I had.” replied Blackshaw. Don’t give too much away Basil! This large late painting ‘Studio door’ which was sold in a Fenton gallery exhibition in Cork in the 2000s is part of a body of work which art critics like Brian Fallon sees as Blackshaw’s ‘third phase.’ Now in his eighties, Aidan Dunne, Fallon and Patrick Murphy of RHA contend this phase of Blackshaw's 'picture-making' lifts him up onto a world stage.

Definitions In these Conditions, de Veres Art Auctions, who act as auctioneers and agents for the vendor, are called ‘the auctioneers’ (which expression shall be deemed to include their servants and agents) and the representative of de Veres conducting the auction is called ‘The Auctioneer’. 2. Third Party Liability Every person at or on the ‘Auctioneers’ premises or at any premises being used by the Auctioneer at any time shall be deemed to be there entirely at his/her own risk and shall have no claim whatsoever against the Auctioneers or their servants or agents in respect of any accident or incident which may occur nor any injury, damage or loss howsoever arising and whether or not same is the subject of any allegation of negligence. 3. General Whilst the Auctioneers make every effort to ensure the accuracy of their catalogue and the description of any lot: (a) Each lot as set out in the catalogue or as divided or combined with any other lots or lots is sold by the vendor with all faults, imperfections and errors of description. (b) Any claim under any Statute must be received in writing by the Auctioneers within three months of the sale. (c) The Auctioneers shall not be liable for consequential or resultant loss or damage whether sustained by a Vendor or a Purchaser or the owner of any item or their respective servants and agents arising in any circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of any claim made by any party as to negligence or lack of care of the Auctioneers or any part acting on their behalf. 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. He may bid on behalf of the vendor for all goods which are being offered subject to reserve or at the Auctioneer’s discretion. (b) The highest bidder shall be the buyer except in the case of a dispute. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute had arisen.
