LY O N & T U R N B U L L Important information for buyers
Buying at Auction This sale is subject to our standard Terms and Conditions of Sale. If you have not bought at auction before we will be delighted to advise you. Estimates Estimates are printed below each lot and do not include the buyer’s premium. The sale will be conducted in pounds sterling. Dimensions Dimensions are for guidance only; it is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that they are correct. Buyer’s Premium The buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon. 25% up to £50,000 / 20% thereafter. VAT will be charged on the premium at the rate imposed by law. (see our Terms and Conditions of Sale). VAT The symbol † by a lot number indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate on the hammer price. The symbol * by a lot number indicates that the lot has been temporarily imported from outside the EU and that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the rate of 5% on the hammer price. No VAT is payable on the hammer price or premium for books bought at auction. 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 appropriate collecting organisation 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.

GEORGE WYLLIE Wyllie defined his works as “scul?ture,’ as he believed that the question mark was at the centre of everything. This idiosyncratic artist became a much-loved public figure in Glasgow and is remembered for his range of works based in and around the city. Permanent scul?tures Clydebank Clock and Monument to Maternity remain as everyday sights and markers of meaning for Glaswegians, lingering in the cultural heritage. While, two temporary public artworks Straw Locomotive (a full-size steam locomotive, made entirely from straw, suspended from the Finnieston Crane before being ceremonially burned) and Paper Boat (an 80-foot structure which sailed the Clyde, Thames and Hudson rivers as a memorial to the city’s ship-building heritage), captured local hearts and imagination through their striking symbolism of the decline of the city’s industrial heritage. Born in Shettleston in 1921, Wyllie served in the Royal Navy and worked in the Post Office and as a customs and excise officer, later developing his creativity and learning welding at a college evening course before finally committing to his art full-time in 1979, when he was nearly in his sixties. He quickly gained a place in the Scottish art-world, creating definitive works, befriending cultural figures including Richard Demarco, Liz Lochhead and Joseph Beuys, and serving as president of the Society of Scottish Artists. This popularity was confirmed with his award of an MBE in 2005.

EARL HAIG Throughout the course of the artist’s long life – Haig died in 2009 at the grand age of 91 – he quietly produced a body of artwork which is now recognised as a significant contribution to the 20th century Modern landscape tradition. He spent much of his life based at his family’s seat in the Scottish Borders, Bemersyde near Melrose, showing regularly with Edinburgh’s Scottish Gallery from the late 1940s. Painting excursions took him frequently to Venice, Italy and the Dolomites and these
locations feature prominently in his output. His career as an artist was in many ways hard won. The son of Field Marshal Haig, the commander in chief of the British army during WW1, a somewhat sickly young Haig struggled with the large boots he felt had been left to fill upon his father’s death when he was 10 years old. In addition, his father’s tactics and reputation came under much scrutiny and criticism in the period immediately after the War, which weighed heavily on his son.
He eventually found an individual sense of purpose and identity through art though the revelation of his creative talent came about in a somewhat curious way, during his incarceration as a PoW in Italy and latterly Saxony for three years during WW2. Having begun to sketch and paint while confined, he went on to attend the Camberwell School of Art upon his return to Britain, studying under artists including William Johnstone and Victor Pasmore.
absorbed these surrounding influences, his work has a distinctive vision and subsequently a consistency which is unusual, particularly for an artist whose career spans such a long period. Haig’s art speaks fluently of his great love for his natural surroundings and his fractured, reductive interpretation of the landscape combines cubist and expressionistic values to highly individual, idiosyncratic effect.
Though it is obvious he avidly

(BRITISH b. 1943) THE CONSTRUCTORS: FORTH ROAD BRIDGE (HOMAGE TO LEGER) Dated 1964 verso, oil on two connected boards 183cm x 183cm (72in x 72in) Note: This work was executed in 1964 whilst Moffat was still at Edinburgh College of Art. He and his good friend, artist John Bellany, both submitted a large scale artwork to a local competition and this piece was Moffat’s entry, though he cannot now recall who won! The work was directly inspired by French artist Fernand Leger’s ‘heroic’ paintings of workers. To young artists like Moffat, the new bridge was an iconic symbol of Modernity in Scotland. The optimism reflected in paintings like this was to be short lived, however, as more austere times approached in the 1970s.

ODINIGWE BENEDICT CHUKWUKADIBIA BONAVENTURE ENWONWU is recognised as one of Africa’s eminent artists of the 20th century and an important figure in Nigerian Modernist painting. Further, he is widely considered to have pioneered the appreciation of this movement in the period postcolonialization and has enjoyed international representation in cities including London, Lagos, Milan, New York, Washington D.C., and Boston.
His career has been both fascinating and at times exceptional. Enwonwu has, for example, had a bronze portrait commissioned directly by Queen Elizabeth II in 1956, and has undertaken a postgraduate in Anthropology from the University College London. Perhaps most fantastically of all, the Enwonwu crater on planet Mercury is named in his honour.
Though sometimes working in the medium of sculpture and often inspired by the landscape of his home country, his work is largely figurative and a favourite subject was the depiction of traditional dancers, using stylised forms to create a sense of movement and rhythm. The work shown here for sale is a typical example, executed shortly after he had finished his artistic training. His studies were extensive; beginning under Kenneth C. Murray at Government Colleges, Ibadan and Umuahia, 1934–37. Enwonwu then went on to gain qualifications from Goldsmith College, London, in 1944, Ruskin College, Oxford, from 1944 to 1946 and ultimately the Slade School of Fine Arts, Oxford, 1946–48, from which he graduated with first-class honours.

£20,000-30,000
Peter Howson’s distinctive characters and strong, figurative style are instantly recognisable. His depictions of a violent, working-class, predominantly masculine Glasgow world are favoured by celebrity collectors such as Madonna, Mick Jagger and David Bowie and have featured on a range of album covers for bands including The Beautiful South. Howson trained at Glasgow School of Art, painting alongside other popular contemporary artists; Adrian Wiszniewski, Steven Campbell and Ken Currie. Recognised for his commitment to war painting through his role of British official war artist for the 1993 Bosnian Civil War for the Imperial War Museum and then official war painter at the Kosovo War for the London Times. The public recognition of Howson’s work was cemented on his appointment as Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2009.
Figure by the Sea dates from 1987, relatively early in Howson’s career and before
32
his key war painting assignments. The composition is dominated by the burly, boxer figure that recurs throughout his oeuvre but as opposed to later works here the figure is positioned in a rural sea-side location, highlighted in bright, colourful
tones. This location reappears in a range of largescale works in oil that Howson created in this year including The Sisters of Mercy and Flag of Despair. Still quintessentially Howson in its technique and character, the brighter, rural backdrop is a
welcome tonic to his predominantly gritty, urban locations and speaks of a very particular moment in his career.

CALLUM INNES Callum Innes is an artist very much concerned with the process of painting and the physical properties of paint itself. Born in Edinburgh in 1962 and trained at Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen and the Edinburgh College of Art, he rose to prominence after having two major solo shows in public institutions in 1992; at the Institute of Contemporary Art, London and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh before being shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1995, which was subsequently won by Damien Hirst. He now exhibits internationally and his work features in public collections across the world, though his studio practice
remains in Edinburgh. Following his art-school training, Innes was working in a figurative manner until a scholarship opportunity in Amsterdam in 1987-88 exposed him to the bold abstract work of artists such as Barnett Newman and Lucio Fontana. He quickly abandoned his figurative style and became focused on the pursuit of clarity in painting. This radical break in his practice makes Self-Portrait of 1987, an abstract composition with a lingering figurative quality all the more rare and striking, positioned as it is on the cusp of breakthrough into the approach that would characterise his oeuvre for the following twenty years.
Innes is best known for his Exposed Paintings series, the striking, meditative works that are created by a refined process of addition and subtraction; adding layers of paint to the canvas that are then gradually stripped away using turpentine to leave only ghostly traces of pigment. Innes thinks of these works as a process of unveiling, rather than having destructive connotations and has likened it to alchemy; the transformation of work-a-day materials into precious gold. This deliberate and considered approach to technique is consistent in Innes’ practice, across a variety of series: Agitated Verticals, Resonance, Isolated Forms, and Monologue, all of
which he established between 1989-1992 and has continued working on, refining and evolving ever since. This deliberation and dedication also crosses over into the watercolour medium, where Innes uses various brushes and sponges to layer and remove washes of colour, with only hints of the fullstrength colour left lingering around the edges, as in Magenta/Charcoal of 2000. In the Identified Forms series, rather than strip the paint away using turpentine loaded brushes, rags or sponges, Innes flicked turpentine on to the not-quite-dry paint, allowing the solvent to drip down the surface, dissolving the paint and leaving only traces of pigment in its wake.

ANISH KAPOOR Born in Bombay (now Mumbai), India in 1954, Anish Kapoor has since the 1970s lived and worked in London, studying at Hornsey College of Art and Chelsea School of Art throughout that decade. His intensely distinctive sculptural works have made him a name across the creative and connoisseurial worlds, and it is no exaggeration to describe him as one of the most influential artists of our time. Representing Britain at the XLIV Venice Biennale in 1990, Kapoor went on to win the Turner Prize in 1991, was awarded a C.B.E. in 2003 and a knighthood in 2013, for services to the visual arts. He has had solo shows in such institutions as the Royal Academy of Arts and the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern.
Kapoor’s simultaneous gravitas and popularity may be attributed to the instantaneous grasp his sculpture achieves over the viewer‘s mind and feelings; the work asks of you both engagement and astonishment, casting a spell on their audience on several levels, and they are often theatrical, as the word “audience” suggests. Frequently executed at extremes of scale, Kapoor’s work is both a feat of engineering and of transmutation of form. He works in the most physical, tangible and earthly of materials – pigment, stainless steel, stone, resin and wax – yet his sculptures utilise understanding of what might be termed the physical
sciences through art to suggest, through the utterly physical, the unutterable, and eventually the metaphysical. The concave (therefore also convex) disc, perhaps the sculptural form at which his work most comes to rest philosophically, is the model or epitome of these qualities. The viewer is drawn to look into the strange bottomlessness of the reflective surface, absorbed by the work through its depth of pigmentation and the endlessly shape-shifting forms created within the low bowl. This mesmerising, dream-holding quality means that the viewer experiences and feels the work as opposed to merely observing it; the sculpture engages its viewer, or holder, at a suggestive and psychological, as well as a pleasing physical, level. This work is the product of the artist’s profound capacity to render in form his continuing conversation with the world that speaks about light and darkness, presence and absence, the solid and the intangible. The work illustrated here for sale is one such classic disc form. Created as one of a small, exclusive limited edition run for the recipients of a prestigious arts award in the UK in 2011, it is one of the few examples in this series coloured in the blood-red pigment which is so important in Kapoor’s work.
40
The domestic scale is also a highly unusual and desirable quality given the more familiar and all but “untameable”, vast proportions of Kapoor’s work.

Prints & Multiples BRUCE MCLEAN Whilst many artists are content to establish an artistic territory and work within it, Bruce McLean has kept moving. Like many seminal artists, including his art school contemporaries Gilbert and George, McLean rebelled against what he saw as formal academicism propagated by the teaching of Anthony Caro and Phillip King during his time at St. Martin’s School of Art. It was this discontent with institutionalised art that provoked such an unusual artistic trajectory. Sculpture,
photography or complex performance art; McLean seems to skip freely across any categorisation. He was even in a band for a time, Nice Style, playing alongside the Kinks and Ian Drury in their 1970’s heyday. His practise has increasingly turned towards painting and printmaking; suitable vehicles for his parodies of the expressionistic style popular in the 1980s and suited to his somewhat punky aesthetic tendencies.
employs irreverent humour to tackle the pretensions of the art world and manages to confront wider social issues without being sanctimonious. A typical instance was in 1972 when the artist was offered an exhibition at the Tate Gallery and McLean, in a perfect example of his satirical style, elected for a ‘retrospective’ lasting merely one day.
Influenced by the American Pop Art movement, McLean

ELSPETH LAMB Elspeth Lamb is an expert printmaker with a longstanding commitment to the development of printmaking through her diverse repertoire of silkscreen, collage, lithograph, screen-printing and papermaking. Lamb trained at the Glasgow School of Art, Manchester Metropolitan University and the Tamarind Institute of Lithography, University of New Mexico. She then spent twenty years teaching at Edinburgh College of Art, latterly as Head of the Printmaking Department, before ending all her academic teaching commitments in 1999 to focus

on her freelance work as artist and educator. Since then she has organised and delivered printmaking and papermaking workshops across Scotland and undertaken residencies internationally. Fairy tales, myths and the theme of enchantment are long-standing inspirations for Lamb. While a long-held fascination with Japanese culture was given the space to expand with a ten-week residency in Japan in 2000. Once there she studied under master craftsmen to learn moku hanga, traditional woodcut printing using waterbased inks to create vivid
colours and transparencies. She returned to Japan again in 2002 to undertake research for her successful book, Papermaking for Printmakers. Around the same time, Lamb also produced an artist’s book Nagasawa Cantrips. Cantrips is an old Scots word for magic, while Nagasawa is the rural area where she stayed, so literally Nagasawa Magic. This title reveals the dual influences of the prints: incorporating traditional and modern printmaking techniques and referencing both Eastern and Western thinking on arts, alongside some of Lamb’s own favourite themes and emblems.
Lamb is an R.S.A. Academician, and an elected member of the Society of Scottish Artists and Royal Glasgow Institute. Her work is included in major international collections including the Japanese Consular Collection, The British Council and the Joan Miro Foundation Collection. The five works offered here from private collections clearly demonstrate her modern approach and commitment to vibrant colour and texture.

We do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connections.
The Auctioneer normally acts as agent
(h) Online Bidding: We will use reasonable
efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the internet or software malfunctions related to execution of online bids/ live bidding. 4. INCREMENTS Bidding increments shall be at the Auctioneer's sole discretion. 5. THE PURCHASE PRICE For each lot purchased a Buyer's Premium of 25% is payable on the first £50,000 of the hammer price, 20% thereafter. 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 is subject to an additional 3% premium (charged by the live bidding service provider Invaluable). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above. 6. 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. (1) 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. (2) 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 outwith the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items. (3) 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 outwith the
European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above. 7. 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. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk. 8. PAYMENT (1) Within 7 days of a lot being sold you will: (a) Pay to us the total amount due in cash or by such other method as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), debit cards and Visa or MasterCard credit cards. We do not accept American Express.

(5) Export of goods: Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character, e.g. items that may contain prohibited materials such as ivory or rhino horn. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence or any delay in obtaining licences shall neither justify the recession of any sale not any delay in making full payment for the lot. 10. 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 Sellers 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 contract for 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).

(1) 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. (2) 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 endeavor 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 Lyon & Turnbull 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 Lyon & Turnbull and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Seller’s obligations in any way. (3) 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. (4) 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. (5) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. (6) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with current safety regulation. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. Lyon & Turnbull provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item. (7) 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 appearing in the catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. 12. BOOKS, CLOCKS & WATCHES (1) Books-Collation: If on collation any NAMED item in the sale catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings NOR in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text NOR in respect of Defects mentioned in the catalogue, or at the time of sale, NOR in respect of lots sold for less than £300. (2) 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, Lyon & Turnbull makes 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 Lyon & Turnbull 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. 13. CITES Please be aware that all lots marked with the symbol Y are subject to CITES regulations when exporting these items outside the EU. These regulations may be found at http://www.defra.gov.uk/ahvla-en/ imports-exports/cites/ Lyon & Turnbull accepts no liability for any lots which may be subject to CITES but have not be identified as such. 14. SALE BY PRIVATE TREATY (a) The same Conditions of Sale (Buyers) shall apply to sales by private treaty. (b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction and subject to our agreed charges for Sellers and Buyers. (c) Lyon & Turnbull undertakes to inform the Seller of any offers it receives in relation to an item prior to any Proposed Sale, excluding the normal method of commission bids. (d) For the purposes of a private treaty sale, if a lot is sold in any other currency than Sterling, the exchange rate is to be taken on the date of sale. 15. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation, safety and security arrangements. Accordingly, neither the Auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to, during or after a sale.
16. GENERAL (a) We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.

(d) Should any provision of these Conditions of Sale be held unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

No act, omission or delay by Lyon & Turnbull shall be deemed a waiver or release of any of its rights. (f) The contract between the parties may be varied by the parties by agreement and in writing. 17.
