4 A REID & SONS REGULATOR LONGCASE CLOCK Mahogany case. The eight day dead beat escapement movement with maintaining power pendulum suspended from the back of movement, full brass dust covers, mercury glass jar pendulum (not filled), six spoke pulley with brass weight. The circular silvered regulator dial signed ‘Reid & Sons Newcastle-upon-tyne’. English circa 1840. 195 x 45 x 27cm PROVENANCE: Private collection, Sydney $4,000-6,000

Regulator clocks were first popularised in the early 18th Century by English watchmaker and fellow of the Royal Society, George Graham (1673-1751). They typically featured the latest and best methods for keeping time over a long period. This English Reid & Sons regulator relies on two technologies adopted and proposed by Graham. The first is his dead beat escapement of 1715, which was widely utilised in clocks made with his influential business partner, clockmaker Thomas Tompion, from an earlier 17th Century design. The dead beat was a modification of the earlier anchor escapement with a number of improvements that allowed the pallets to lock and slide, which eliminated recoil on the timekeeping escape wheel. Accuracy could be further improved by adjustment of the ‘lock’ of the pallet in the escape wheel, a precision adjustment feature that began with Graham’s invention. Outside of the escapement, the movement of the Reid & Sons regulator is relatively uncomplex – a trait of many regulators is utilitarian precision over complications – with features such as chiming or calendars being typically absent. This invention was never patented by Graham, who believed that it was important for all clockmakers to adopt. Graham is also well known for his invention of the mercury compensated pendulum, released to the Royal Society in 1727 as ‘A contrivance to avoid the irregularities in a clocks motion, occasion’d by the action of heat and cold upon the rod of the pendulum’. Having observed that the clock in his house slowed down in the summer sun, Graham realized that thermal expansion and contraction of the pendulum rod from changes in temperature was the main source of the error. As metal gets warm it expands down, but by using mercury sealed in a glass vial as the weight, it has nowhere to expand but up. This was supposed to keep the regularity of the oscillation for the pendulum constant. While this regulator was retailed by Reid & Sons of Newcastle, England, it would have almost certainly have been built by a clockmaker specialising in regulators, who in this case, as typical, has not signed the movement. Reid & Sons were well known for supplying high performance chronometers to the Admiralty for use in navigation, among other uses. It is possible that the piece was intended for similar scientific use, or that it was intended as a ‘jewellers clock’ to accurately set other less accurate watches. Matthew Richard Jump 4

51 BRUNO ZACH (1891-1945)* The Umbrella Girl c.1920s Bronze model with carved ivory head, shoulders and arms. Depicting a young lady wearing long length gloves and high heel boots, with a monkey face handled umbrella under her arm. Signed script to base 'Bruno Zach'. NOTE: This item has received CITES approval. Height 63cm $12,000-14,000

Women - depicted tall, powerful and confident were sole focus of all of Bruno Zach’s best-known pieces. A student of the Vienna Academy, he studied under the monument sculptor Josef Müllner, later taking a radical departure from the conservative neoclassical style of his teacher in the post-war German Weimar Republic of the 1920s. Zach was witness to a cultural explosion in the nightclubs, restaurants, theatres and cinemas of Berlin. Due to severe hyperinflation following Germany’s defeat in the First World War, Berliners spent their income and savings freely and lavishly in the fear that their money would become worthless the next day. To Zach, the exotic laissez-faire lifestyle of the decade served as the stimulus for his most wellknown works. Influence from America led to shorter hair, shorter skirts and sleeves: fashions which are proudly shown off by The Umbrella Girl. The piece depicts a windswept young lady, Zach capturing her in a snapshot moment, head turned, with an arm raised to hold her hat. It is naturally posed yet suggestive. Here the erotic side of Zach’s work is alluded to in the piece, the flowing, loose dress is revealing to a point – suggesting her physique through the stretches and creases of Zach’s perceptive modelling. The elements of polished white carved ivory highlight the areas where bare skin shows, bringing to attention the dress slipping at her left shoulder. In the cultural renaissance of the 1920s, Bruno Zach stands as a testament to the social liberties of the period, his predilection for the erotic notion of dominating, sexually charged scenes illustrates perhaps the beginning of the social, political and sexual freedom that women were enfranchised with during the decade.

52 AUGUSTE RODIN (1840-1917) Head of Eustache de Saint-Pierre Bronze Eustache de Saint-Pierre, Type A Head (Eustache de Saint Pierre, tête Type A).

‘An expression of weariness… flows over his face into the beard’, was the impression of Rodin’s striking rendition of Eustache de Saint-Pierre to his friend and poet Rainer Maria Rilke. Certainly, the surface of the face of Eustache, running from the furrowed brown down accented temples, though the high cheekbones to the crevices of the lips conveys via texture and the arrangement of concave and convex forms, the heavy burden carried by the leader of The Burghers of Calais.

Conceived in 1885-86. Posthumous cast authorized by Musée Rodin, 1968 in 10 casts by Georges Rudier, nos. 3 -12, from 1968-1976. This example marked ‘copyright Musée Rodin 1973’. Signed ‘A. Rodin’. Bearing stamp of ‘Georges Rudier / Fondeur Paris’. Documentation confirms it as cast No. 9, with registration number 2902.

Eustache was the first to volunteer surrendering themselves unconditionally to Edward III, King of England, who had besieged the city of Calais in 1347. Edward had promised mercy to the garrison and people of the city if six citizens gave themselves to the will of the English King. The six, representing the bourgeois and mercantile wealth of Calais, dressed in simple shirts, bearing nooses around their necks, brought the keys of the city to the knees of Edward. It was their selfsacrifice, dignity and honour in defeat that moved the Queen of England and courtiers to beg the King release the men from their certain death.

Set on tiered wooden stand.

The moment Rodin chose to capture in his monumental sculpture group, The Burghers of Calais, is the point of the six men leaving the safety of the castle-city to the certainly of their death. At this turning point in the lives of these men Rodin imagines the torment of uncertainty and resignation churning against the resolution of what was being undertaken in each of the figures.

Item comes with a certificate from the Musée Rodin, 16th May 1974.

The head of Eustache stands out as holding the greatest sense of single meaning out of the six figures. Eustache alone is unassisted by bodily gestures of anguish or fear – all sense of emotion and feeling is focused by Rodin in the downward face. Of all the figures it is an easy argument to make that Rodin gave his most attention to Euastache. The head itself may have been modelled on his friend and painter Jean-Charles Cazin, who wrote to Rodin ‘I am ready to pose for the figure of your Eustache de Saint-Pierre, rope around the neck, feet and arms naked. This excellent man… would himself approve of your choice because I profoundly admire the simple grandeur of his action’. With the faces and figures of Eustache and his fellow burghers, Rodin was making a concerted effort to refer both to the form and style of the past as well as the fluid and dynamic direct sculpture was taking. The dignity and intensity of emotion of Eustache recalls Claus Sluter’s ‘Well of Moses’, sculpted figures of 1395-1404, which share a similar historical period to the siege of Calais of 1347. Rodin’s willingness to display fragments of a whole, and direct attention to use texture as a means to convey emotion opened his works to deeper interpretation. The face of Eustache is a direct result of him playing with these unprecedented themes that Brâncusi, , Henry Moore and Matisse would later embody and expand. The Burghers do not interact or inform each other, and each piece of the group functions materially and conceptually – carrying meaning without the support of the whole. Matthew Richard Jump

KKK is a seminal painting by Euan Macleod, harnessing the dark and expressive technique for which the artist is celebrated. Rough and raw brushstrokes are applied in sweeping gestures that portray the energy driving the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand. The darkened palette and texture of impasto paint instil a characteristic intensity within the painting. Macleod empowers the four Black Panthers who stride forward with confidence, backlit by the drama unfolding behind them. Euan Macleod is collected by leading public institutions, including the National Gallery of Australia, the Te Papa Museum New Zealand and the Metropolitan Museum New York.

105 COLIN LANCELEY (born 1938) The Billiard Table 1990 Oil on carved wood and canvas. Signed with initial ‘L’ lower right. Signed and dated ‘Lanceley 1990’ on reverse, with title. 166 x 222cm PROVENANCE: Frumkin/Adams Gallery (now George Adams Gallery), New York, 1991 Private Collection, Sydney EXHIBITIONS: Frumkin / Adams Gallery, New York, Colin Lanceley New Constructed Paintings, 1-30 March 1991 $8,000-12,000

The playfulness enveloped within The Billiard Table is characteristic of Colin Lanceley’s practice. The constructed painting exclaims a passion for life and colour. Lanceley has made into form the movement of billiard game in progress, using both paint and three-dimensional objects on the picture plane to create the joyful illusion. Lanceley was one of Australia’s leading exponents of modernism, looking to the example of Henri Matisse and Joan Mirò in particular. From Matisse he adopted the expressive language of colour and from Mirò he learnt to instil the surrealist sense of whimsy into his work. Lanceley’s constructed paintings from the 1990s, and his commitment to the pictorial, existed as a powerful contrast to the work of the politicised avant-garde which dominated Australian art at the time. The artist’s delight of colour and sophistication of structure was observed by Robert Hughes in the monograph Colin Lanceley, stating of this paintings: “Their immense strength is in their colour, so wide-ranging, structurally integrated and sure in its effects: with a few exceptions… there are no artists in Lanceley’s generation to whom the diction of colour seems to come so naturally… If Lanceley’s optimism about the modernist inheritance seems not up to the minute, then so much the works for the minute”1.

110 JEREMY THOMAS (America, born 1973) Smart Yellow Cold rolled steel, powder coat and urethane. 143 x 214 x 131cm (irreg) PROVENANCE: Bentley Gallery, Phoenix, Arizona, 2013 Private collection, Sydney $2,000-4,000

Jeremy Thomas’s inflated steel sculptures are playful objects that invoke curiosity. They incorporate a dialogue about process, volume and the accidental. Beginning with flat sheets of steel, Thomas cuts out circular shapes and bends them so they can be welded together to create hollow forms. He then heats each piece in a large forge and as the steel becomes malleable, he injects air into the forms. This introduces an element of spontaneity, with each sculpture unique in its own swells and folds. As Thomas has stated: “I know a certain form is going to create a certain wrinkle but I don’t know exactly where that wrinkle’s going to occur along that line”. Smart Yellow as much about the space it shapes within, as the dynamic of an object located in space. It has no top or bottom, no one side that is more dominant than the other. Nor is created with the specific intention of being located inside or outside. It is responsive to begin seen from different angles and in different environments.
