The Herbert Smith Freehills Collection One of the most famous British artists of the last century, Bridget Riley’s extraordinary career continues unabated, despite the fact the grand dame of Op Art is now in her 80s. Riley has achieved that elusive artistic ideal; creating a body of work as pioneering as it is ubiquitous. Her graphic style came to epitomise the Swinging Sixties but her continued exploration of Op Art’s possibilities has proved it to be fertile ground. Despite focusing her work in a narrow field, she has managed to side-step the pitfalls of the cliché.
Whilst the results of her painstaking technique and careful colour-play display a technical understanding firmly rooted in the scientific, Riley firmly asserts that her artistic approach has always been intuitive. Beyond the initial optical illusion, her art sets out to provoke an emotional response in the viewer. The works in this sale date from a period of experimentation in the 1990s and early millennium. By this stage Riley had long abandoned the more rigid monochromatic structures
associated with her 1960s output, discovering that the ‘lozenge’ forms - featured in several of the examples here - endowed her juxtapositions of form and colour with more movement and depth than anything she had previously achieved. The nature of Riley’s work is to place demands on the viewer’s gaze but in these later works the calmer palette and the playful arabesque forms result in a series of works which are unequivocally fun and lighthearted to read.

The career of Patrick Heron is largely associated with the St Ives School, an artist’s colony formed around the Cornish studios of abstractionists Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth in the late 1930s. It is to the generation of younger artists who gravitated there post-WW2 that the term generally refers. Heron had been brought up in Cornwall for much of his life, meeting Nicholson at the Leach Pottery in St Ives during his inter-war years spent as a conscientious objector. Like the other members of the school, Heron’s attraction to plains of colour and simplification of
form was primarily influenced by the French Moderns Matisse and Braque, and secondarily by the concurrent artistic developments of the Abstract Expressionists in the U.S.A. Heron was particularly impressed with the boldness of the scale on which Rothko and his group worked. Large canvases would increasingly become an aspect of Heron’s own oeuvre, as would a characteristic ‘flatness’ of shape, form and colour. Tonally, his earlier work contains echoes of Nicholson and his British precursors. Latterly, however, Heron would go on to embrace an
almost cartoon-ish palette of flat primary shades which engage with the aesthetic of Pop Art.

Due to the outbreak of WW2, Frost’s path as an artist was somewhat unorthodox. Though he harboured a lifelong interest in art, he did not begin painting in earnest until he became a prisoner of war in Germany, an experience that served as something of an epiphany. Upon his return to the UK, Frost enrolled in both the Camberwell School of Art and the St Ives School, despite the fact he was in his thirties and had a young family to support. He was greatly encouraged by a period spent as assistant to sculptor Barbara Hepworth in 1951.
Initially adopting a Realist technique as a member of the Euston Road School, Frost soon followed his natural impulses towards abstraction and, alongside other prominent figures including Patrick Heron, William Scott and Roger Hilton, became a leader of the mid-century British avant-garde.
canvases. Throughout his career Frost committed himself time and again to exploration of the potential of simple linear and circular forms. The works represented in this sale demonstrate the diversity and imagination with which he was able to imbue the apparently simplest of compositions.
A great lover of life, Frost’s art brims with his enthusiasm for the world around him; his work often inspired by the sea, sky and light of the Cornish coast. His palette was unswervingly joyous and his passion radiates from his
Frost was knighted in 1998 in recognition of the impact of his work on the landscape of British art, and was honoured with a major retrospective by the Royal Academy in 2000.

Jane MacAllister-Justin Dukes Art Collection and Archive Richard Demarco O.B.E. is an Edinburgh artist and art promoter who has played a crucial role in placing Edinburgh on the map as an international arts hub, significantly contributing to the development of the Edinburgh Fringe festival. A co-founder of the Traverse Theatre in 1963, Demarco went on to run the Richard Demarco Gallery between the years 1969-1992. As well as nurturing young native talent including artists such as Damien Hirst, his most outstanding achievement has been the promotion of Eastern European artists during the Cold War; strengthening ties between the UK and countries like Poland, Romania and Yugoslavia. In particular, Demarco provided a Western European platform for the careers of the now internationally renowned and critically lauded avant-garde artists Joseph Beuys, Tadeusz Kantor, Paul Neagu and Marina Abramovich. Throughout the 70s and 80s Demarco hosted famously unorthodox ‘Summer Schools’, creating a melting pot of ideas and collaborations between local and international artists. The collection on show pertains to this important
56
period in Scottish, and indeed, European art. Jane MacAllister, initially Demarco’s assistant and ultimately the Deputy Artistic Director of The Demarco Gallery in its latter phase, coorchestrated the exhibitions and events based around the gallery. In 1990 Jane married Justin Dukes, joint Managing Director of the FT Group and founding Managing Director of Channel 4. Before Justin’s tragically early death in 2008 the couple built up an extensive collection of contemporary art. The collection consists of over 150 paintings, works on paper, prints, posters and
sculptures, all of which reflect the energy and range of the Demarco Gallery’s activities, and represent a unique record of the exhibition programme during this period. Local heroes include works by Byrne, Crozier, Demarco, Douthwaite, Hamilton Finlay, Hanson, Howson, Knox, McCann, McNeish, Wyllie and Yule. The Internationalists include works by Beuys, Christo, Flanagan, Hambling, Neagu, Newcomb, Rabinowitch, Swan and Uecker. The collection Jane and Justin built up over the years with the guidance and support of Richard Demarco

As controversial as he was influential, Joseph Beuys pushed the boundaries of Western contemporary art from the 1950s until his death in 1986. Loosely definable as a sculptor/installation/ performance artist, Beuys approached his work in a spiritual fashion and sought to connect with and ‘heal’ his audience through, as he saw it, art’s restorative powers. Via his self-created persona of the artist as teacher/shaman, Beuys popularised the anticommoditisation of art, promoting creativity as something to be experienced by everyone in the everyday. Alongside a selection of
famous installation pieces, the majority of his work was to be experienced as ‘actions’, the remnants of which exist as photographs, recordings, props and other forms of documentation. The influence of his ethos on continued contemporary German, and indeed European, art practise remains hugely relevant today. Beuys’ connection with Scotland was initiated in 1970 by Richard Demarco. Demarco became aware of the extraordinarily progressive visual art activity in Dusseldorf at the time and decided to approach its key protagonists and talents. His concept was to stage a
Festival exhibition entitled Strategy: Get Arts, to be held in the Edinburgh College of Art. It was to serve as instructive to the art students of tomorrow and enlighten the British art world to the avant-garde developments taking place out with the UK. Thirty five artists participated including Blinky Palermo, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, Dieter Rot, Günther Uecker and, in a real coup for Demarco, Joseph Beuys himself. Their brief was to create new work in direct response to their experience of Scotland. Beuys created an action which he entitled ‘Celtic (Kinloch Rannoch): a Scottish Symphony’. Performed for eight hours a day for six consecutive days, it involved performance and projections set to a soundscape by Henning Christiansen. Beuys was greatly drawn to the wilds of North West Scotland and found much to inform his interest in Celtic tradition and feed his innate sense of connection to the

60
environment. This remarkable association with Scotland would continue right up until the artist’s last years, during which time he created works inspired by Barlinnie Prison’s Special Unit and Greyfriar’s Bobby. To Beuys, Scotland was the ‘key’ to Europe’s Celtic history, a period, in Beuy’s mind, entwined with the root of the human condition and the elemental. Germany’s Celtic past held extremely negative associations at this time due to its appropriation by the Nazis. Beuys sought to reclaim it and found inspiration in Scotland as a country that understood the importance of looking to its past in order to forge a strong foundation for the future. The works in this sale represent aspects of these seminal excursions to Scotland, including ‘Celtic (Kinloch Rannoch): A Scottish Symphony’, which is internationally and historically recognised as one of the artist’s masterworks.

Best known for his repetitious use of the humble nail as an artistic prop, Uecker’s artwork transmutes the boundaries of sculpture, painting, installation, film and design. Originally from East Germany, Uecker elected to pursue an art education in Dusseldorf where students were able to practise modernism and exercise a greater freedom of expression. He remained here for many years, teaching at the Kunstakademie between 1974 and 1995.
Uecker, alongside Heinz Mack and Otto Piene, was a founding member of the important group ZERO in the early 1960s. ZERO functioned as a catalyst in rejuvenating the German art scene, largely in reaction to the dominant ‘art informel’ movement of the 40s and 50s which favoured spontaneous, gestural artistic impulses. ZERO proposed that the process should be secondary to the concept and effect.
illusion of movement. Uecker is also interested in religious and social philosophies. His nails create forms that are suggestive of the homogenized movements of mankind both physically and mentally, and hint at the concept of collective thought.
In 1956 Uecker first introduced the use of nails to his art. Later he would suggest that his connection to nails as a means of expression originated from having barricaded his family home against the approaching Russian front during WW2. When hammered into patterns, at different depths or affixed to moving constructions, nails also proved effective in the pursuit of his fascination with the use of light to create the optical
Uecker - whose associations with Demarco date back to the late 1960s - exhibited in Edinburgh on several occasions and was one of the participating Dusseldorf artists in Demarco’s Strategy: Get Arts show in 1970.

“Christo” is the collective name of the artist duo Christo and Jeanne-Claude Javacheff, whose series of immeasurably ambitious public installations have provided some of the most visually striking and enduring imagery of the last forty years. Christo Javacheff was born in Bulgaria in 1935. In 1957 he escaped from behind the Iron Curtain to study art in Vienna. Stateless and impoverished, Javacheff moved to Paris to make a living as a portrait painter where he met the Moroccan born philosophy graduate Jeanne-Claude Denat. Though engaged to another man, Jeanne-Claude fell pregnant by Javacheff and, in the face of severe disapproval from her family, eloped with him despite having initially gone ahead with her marriage and honeymoon. The pair started
to collaborate together artistically and, having begun to build a reputation in Paris, settled in New York in 1964 where they would remain until Jeanne-Claude’s death in 2009 at the age of 74. With a combination of staggering logistical capability, fearless imagination and limitless drive, the couple became known for their high-profile public art installations which involved “wrapping” famous monuments including the Reichstag in Berlin and the Pont Neuf Bridge in Paris. Never accepting sponsorship, Christo would raise the necessary funds – often amounting to millions of dollars – solely by selling preparatory pastels, charcoals, collages and lithographs pertaining to the project. Interestingly, Christo insist that there is no socio-political

concept behind their work; that the visual impact alone is the objective. Though obviously playful, the sheer scale of the enterprise lends an undeniable grandeur and beauty to their work. Throughout the canon of art history the drapery has played a significant and often symbolic role, as has the veil or shroud of religious ritual. The fabric reveals the essence of form and holds transformative powers, in this case turning the iconic and the familiar into the extraordinary: enhancing
monumentality by simplification of form. Braver still is the fact that these works are all transitory. Years in the planning and in situ for as little as a few days at a time, nothing but the plans and photographic records remain once the installation has been dismantled, lending the works a legendary quality. The Pont Neuf project took 9 years of bureaucratic wrangling to come to fruition in 1984. It is represented in this sale in a series of images taken by their official photographer Wolfgang Volz.

Demarco devoted much of his career to the promotion of Eastern European art; strengthening ties between the UK and countries like Poland, Romania and Yugoslavia. In particular, Demarco provided a platform for the careers of a triumvirate of now internationally renowned artists; the German Joseph Beuys, Polish Tadeusz Kantor and Romanian Paul Neagu.
conceptual sculptural structures. When the embargo on international movement was lifted for a brief eight month period in 1969, Demarco took the first flight from the UK to Bucharest – its only passenger. He offered Neagu an Edinburgh show which was readily accepted. As a direct result of this opportunity, Neagu remained in the UK for the rest of his life.
Neagu, born in Bucharest in 1938, found himself on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain to practise the abstractionist art to which he was impelled. Quietly, away from the socialist realism proscribed by his native art schools, Neagu began to explore
The works here are representative of the two predominant ciphers in his oeuvre. The sculptural assemblage ‘Hyphen’ is a version of a repeat experiment of Neagu’s, first explored in 1975 and consistently re-imagined
throughout the rest of his career. Its base materials echo the folk furniture of his homeland and the wedge-like form is said to be rooted in reminiscences of the tools of his cobbler father’s trade. To Neagu, the Hyphen form was representative of human energy and spirituality – an attempt to physically represent the metaphysical harmony that the artist felt underpinned mankind’s existence. The eight point Starheaded form is a further exploration of this ‘sacred geometry’. Neagu went on to teach in prestigious institutions such as the Chelsea School of Art and the Slade. His work, the forefront of the avant-garde at
the time, never led to commercial success. A large scale Starhead form, for example, was commissioned to be erected at Charing Cross, London, but the project was halted by factions within the council. Nevertheless, his conceptual approach to sculpture was to have a lasting effect on a generation of students, including Anthony Gormley, Anish Kapoor and Rachael Whiteread, each of whom cite his work as a significant influence. The Tate acquired Neagu’s archive and showed a retrospective of his work the year before the artist’s death in 2004 at the age of 66.

Stephen Conroy produces detailed preparatory drawings for his larger oil paintings using chalk, gouache and oil on paper. In these chalk studies he explores the drama created through light and shadow and gradually establishes the various components of his composition.

The male figure has remained his primary subject since the 1980s and amongst his typical depiction of generic 'suited men', Conroy often includes a selfportrait. Conroy has depicted women comparatively rarely. The nude drawings offered here show his interest in Edgar

We do not accept American Express. (2) any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing from you to us on any account whatever without regard to any directions of you or your agent, whether express or implied. 7.

(4) It is the buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main saleroom and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time. 8. REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES (1) If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the seller and on their behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to you; (c) to resell the lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs).

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

Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, paintings, guns, firearms etc) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary or guidance notes appearing in the catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. 21. Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect. 22. Scottish law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
