PAT DOUTHWAITE “She should no longer be seen as an exotic maverick but acknowledged as one of the true originals of Scottish art.” A concluding comment on Pat Douthwaite’s 1993 solo exhibition, made by The Scotsman’s art critic Edward Gage. The ‘maverick’ label is often attached to Douthwaite to encompass a variety of the artist’s more striking traits: her troubled personality, the restless, nomadic lifestyle that took her across the world in search of subjects and meaning and her complete disregard for anything that did not further the development of her artwork, despite it making her a difficult figure to manage and work with. A good example is an incident in which she broke into a house and stole back one of her paintings from a buyer whom she did not consider worthy of owning her work.
11§ HB845/5 PAT DOUTHWAITE (SCOTTISH 1939-2002) ANIMAL Signed and dated 2001, inscribed with title, mixed media on paper with irregular edge 41cm x 84cm (16in x 33in)
£300-500
This demanding, uncompromising commitment and allencompassing focus on her work paid off. She developed and sustained a distinctive, signature style characterised by raw feeling and idiosyncratic lines. Douthwaite was fascinated by historical heroines including Greek deities, Mary Queen of Scots and the aviator Amy Johnson and often depicted them as well as herself. Her images of women remain the most powerful and popular of her works, truly encapsulating the pain and suffering women can experience and endure. This exploration of suffering means there is a violence in the work, yet Douthwaite often manages to retain fun, playful touches in their execution. Born in Glasgow in 1934, Douthwaite’s first exposure to creative expression was in the
form of dance classes at the dancing school run by Margaret Morris, the bohemian partner of the Scottish Colourist John Duncan Fergusson. She eventually discontinued dancing and decided, aged twenty-four and with no artistic training, to become a painter. Douthwaite showed her work to Fergusson, who recognised her talent and encouraged her endeavours, though he suggested she avoid art school, as he had done. Thus, both Morris and Fergusson had a major impact on Douthwaite’s creative endeavours. Douthwaite’s ever-present wanderlust quickly took over, and she left Glasgow to join an artistic community within William Crozier’s house in East Anglia. An informal artistic training in itself, she was surrounded by fellow artists including Robert
Colquhoun, Robert MacBryde and Crozier himself. In her lifetime, her work was recognised and championed by key figures in the Scottish art world; including Richard Demarco, who mounted her first major exhibition in Scotland in 1967; Douglas Hall, the former Director of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the artist and critic Edward Gage. Following her death, her popularity continues to increase as more and more people are drawn to her distinctive, expressive style and tales of her mysterious, maverick personality.

ALEXANDER MOFFAT Alexander Moffat O.B.E., R.S.A. has long held a significant position in Scotland’s artistic landscape. In his early days as an artist, alongside fellow Edinburgh College of Art student John Bellany, the pair famously flouted the restrictive exhibition selection processes of the R.S.A. by anarchically hanging their own shows on public railings in the streets of central Edinburgh, to the delight of the general public. Later his career evolved to encompass poetry, philosophy and criticism; ‘Arts of Resistance: Poets, Portraits and Landscapes of Modern Scotland’ and its sequel published in 2014 ‘Arts of Independence’ being among his most acclaimed publications. His teaching career is noted for the impact he made on the students of the Glasgow School of Art in the 1980s where, under his influence, a new generation of artists including Peter Howson, Ken Currie, Adrian Wiszniewski and Steven Campbell renewed a focus on figuration in art. His works can be viewed in numerous galleries and public spaces including The Scottish National Portrait Gallery, The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Arts Council of Great Britain and in The Yale Centre of British Art.
L&T: It must be strange for you to see this work again after such a long period. Do you remember painting it? AM: Yes, it was from the first of our exhibitions on public railings. It took place on Castle Terrace in 1963 and we had applied for a street trader’s license to occupy the site. I was still a student at the time. This was a series I had worked on; there were perhaps six works in total, this being the largest. L&T: When did you last see the work? AM: It sold during the exhibition, for £40 as I recall! I haven’t seen it since and had no idea where it ended up. L&T: I’m happy to say it found a good home: it belonged to the Director of the Newlyn School of Art in Cornwall for many years.
AM: Funnily enough, another of the works from the series has a home in the Edinburgh College of Art. I still own one myself but I’m not aware of the location of the other three. L&T: What’s happening here in the painting? There are obvious references to Fernand Leger in style and there is a sort of surreal, carnival atmosphere. AM: It’s titled ‘The Picnic’. The tall figure in the centre in the dark suit is a self-portrait – I appear in all the works in the series. The figure I’m holding was my girlfriend at the time. She actually had an orange skirt and braces like that – it seemed to lend itself well to the simplified forms I was working with. L&T: It must bring back some good memories…
Excited to hear that a painting he had not seen since 1963 had re-surfaced, Moffat was keen to come in and be reacquainted. Following our subsequent conversation, he has been kind enough to let us transcribe some of his reminiscences for you here. Moffat with the series in 1963.
AM: It does! I remember that we had a little card table on the pavement with a small piggybank sat on top to take any donations the public might have wanted to give. There was an immaculately dressed gentleman who walked past us daily. He’d walk straight by, never engaging with us, but would without fail - place a folded up £5 note in our piggybank as he passed. It was only towards the end of the exhibition that we realised it was Sir Alec Guinness on his way to rehearsals at the Lyceum Theatre! We would like to thank Alexander Moffat for providing the photographic illustration shown here.

£2,000-3,000
Since he first understood the power of art, Kevin Sinnott has made constant efforts to paint to the very best of his ability. He doesn’t consider himself to have grown up in an artistic household, instead he imagines his interest in drawing and painting stems from his time spent in youth clubs in South Wales, where art and music classes were available and creativity encouraged. He continued his training more formally at the Colleges of Art and Design in Cardiff and Gloucestershire, before
spending time studying at the Royal College of Art in London. Following his education, he remained in London throughout the 1970s and 1980s to build his successful career, exhibiting regularly in high-profile galleries, both locally and internationally. He ultimately returned to South Wales in 1995, a move which he now feels to have been hugely beneficial artistically, as he continues to draw boundless inspiration from his surroundings.
focused on human relationships and he claims ‘For most of my career I have invented the content of my pictures, sometimes relying on my knowledge of past and present art. I would conjure up some figures and perhaps place them in an imaginary, albeit stereotypical, landscape.’ Often working on a large-scale, as in the example here, Sinnott’s distinctive textural brushwork brings these large canvases alive, lending his figures a dynamic presence.

OSCAR MARZAROLI COLLECTION Oscar Marzaroli has long been celebrated for his famous photographic record of Glasgow’s Gorbals area. His iconic images depict the area as it was before the slums and their accompanying communities were cleared by city developers in the early 1960s. Lyon & Turnbull are pleased to present a selection of items directly from Marzaroli’s own family collection, each of which tells a story of the city and the friendships which the photographer held so dear. Beyond his Gorbals series and work as a film camera man,

Marzaroli is remembered as the man who gave us a glimpse into the life and practises of enigmatic artist Joan Eardley. Marzaroli was allowed frequent access to her studio where she and fellow friend and artist Angus Neil would work, painting the local children in the poverty stricken area of Townhead. Like the photographer, Eardley was moved by the lives of these children and the changing face of the city, also striving to capture and record their way of life as progress rolled across the east end. The work shown here, one of Eardley’s Catterline subjects
as opposed to a cityscape, was a gift to Marzaroli. Angus Neil had been Eardley’s close friend since their time spent studying at Hospitalfield in Arbroath. They worked closely, sharing the same subject matter, tonal qualities and spontaneous, deliberately coarse technique. Their work, therefore, bears striking similarities. The two maintained their devoted, if tempestuous, friendship for the entirety of Eardley’s short life, painting together in Glasgow and Catterline until her tragically early death. Neil
continued to exhibit works throughout the 1950s and ‘60s, including in the Royal Scottish Academy and the Royal Glasgow Institute. His life was sadly blighted by poor mental health and examples of his work remain rare to market. Marzaroli clearly knew and supported Neil in his career, owning several good examples of his work, offered here.

JOSEF HERMAN ‘a walking monument of human labour’ Throughout his career, Herman remained committed to his conviction that art and morality should never be separated and that subject matter was of utmost importance. In the working men and women of the world - Scottish and Suffolk fishermen, Burgundian peasants, Israeli planters, Italian roadworkers, and German harvesters – he found subjects that embodied, for him, a profound and universal human archetype. The appeal of these subjects developed from his background as the son of a cobbler, depicting

the hard-working characters around him, and was strengthened in response to the need to re-establish human dignity in the aftermath of the horrors of the Second World War. The mood of his works is introspective, as surprisingly his workers are never shown working. Instead these ‘monolithic’ figures are depicted in calm, quiet moments of reflection. Herman was born and trained in Warsaw, where he exhibited and organised the ‘The Phrygian Bonnet,’ a leftwing artistic movement, dedicated to painting Polish workers. The political situation in his home country
soon necessitated a move abroad; first to Brussels in 1938 and then Glasgow in 1940. He was part of a generation of eastern European Jewish artists who emigrated to escape persecution and find work and freedom abroad. While in Glasgow, he impacted Scottish art, when he met and inspired a young Joan Eardley. His lack of complicated detail and focus on robust contrasts of light and dark appealed to Joan, while the two artists also shared an affinity in their choice of subjects – workers, artisans and people who worked with their hands. His strongest, and lasting, association is with
Ystradgynlais in Wales, a small mining village that he first visited on holiday in 1944, and ended up living in until 1955. Herman described his decision, “I stayed here because I found all I required. I arrived here a stranger for a fortnight; the fortnight became 11 years.” He became a big part of the local community and often depicted the local miners, works for which he is still remembered. His reputation as a miners’ painter was confirmed in 1951 when he received a commission to paint the mural, ‘Miners for the Pavilion of Minerals for Festival of Britain.’

William Gear was a key figure in Post-War British art, and one of the few to make a strong impression overseas, through his commitment to developments in abstraction and involvement with avantgarde groups in Europe. The selection of works featured here are typical of his distinctive and recognisable style; dominated by heavy black lines interspersed with areas of bold colour. Although committed to abstract paintings, he felt some affinity with nature and also suggested that his obsessive commitment to structure in painting could be traced back to the industrial setting of his childhood, growing up a coalminer’s son in Methil, Fife. Although very much in line with Post-War developments in painting and abstraction on the Continent, some British audiences found his work more challenging. When his large canvas, Autumn Landscape won a Festival of Britain Purchase Prize, there was a public outcry, culminating in letters sent to the House of Commons. A public outcry did not mean Gear was not critically
recognised and appreciated. His work was featured in the Venice Biennale in 1954, while in 1995, Gear was elected to the Royal Academy. In 1997, just weeks before his death, he received an award in
Germany to recognise his work for ‘democratic art and artistic freedom,’ a statement that truly encapsulates the guiding principles of his approach and career.

£10,000-15,000 This work is known as a maquette for Great Ormond Street, the famous London children’s hospital. Paolozzi executed many public commissions throughout his career, notable examples including the mosaics at Tottenham Court Road underground station, a sculpture of Sir Isaac Newton in the piazza of the British Library and a large bronze entitled The Head of Invention outside the Design Museum, London, to which this piece bears the closest relationship. Created in 1993, four years after The Head of Invention in ‘89, it was intended for a much larger run of casts which was never completed. Instead, a small number were made in bronze with a rich brown patina. As was often the artist’s want, many of the
casts - including this piece were gifted directly to friends and supporters. Paolozzi was a temperamental character and his relationship with galleries and dealers was generally short-lived, resulting in many of his works finding owners via this slightly unorthodox fashion. The work is typical of Paolozzi’s distinctive aesthetic
which marries the artistic with the mechanistic, the primitive with the futuristic and evokes a sense of the surreal that treads the line between the sinister and the absurd. The Leith born and Slade School educated Paolozzi moved to Paris in the late 1940s where he met artists including Brancusi, Braque, Giacometti and Leger, as well
as members of the Dadaist`` movement. Though Paolozzi was clearly influenced by these important figures, his own style evolved to push the boundaries of collage, pop imagery and the incorporation of ‘found’ objects, elements of which are embodied in the work offered here for sale.

Anthony Benjamin was, alongside his contemporaries Peter Lanyon, Patrick Heron and Sir Terry Frost, a key figure in the so–called “Middle Generation” of the famous St Ives School. Like original group members Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson, their work explored the possibilities of abstraction, drawing influence from the surrounding Cornish countryside. Unlike their predecessors however, they were quick and keen to adapt to the techniques and formal
approaches of American Abstract Expressionism. The aesthetic was looser, more expansive, both brighter and softer-edged. Before long their work was appreciated across the Atlantic in New York.
had moved to London the year this work was created and, perhaps unsurprisingly, it vibrates with the energy of the city at that point in time; simultaneously emanating a laid-back cool and a throbbing wildness.
The work featured here for sale is a scarce early 1960s example. It was painted four years after his first one-man show in 1958 at the Newlyn Society of Artists and after his return from an Italian-based art scholarship in 1960. He
Benjamin went on to have an important and well-received show at the ICA in 1966 and his stock was high in the eyes of gallerists, critics and the public. His name does not have the resonance in the British canon of art that it
perhaps deserves. This was a result of his decision to move to North America between 1967 and 1972. Though he let the dust settle on his career in London, he held several eminent positions as professor of fine art in various institutions during the period, including University of Calgary; York University, Toronto; Hayward State College, California, and Ontario College of Art.

KELPRA STUDIOS In 1957, commercial screenprinter Chris Prater and his wife Rose set up their own business in a tiny space in Kentish Town: Kelpra Studios. Within the period of a decade they had introduced a mind-boggling array of Britain’s greatest artists to the medium of screenprinting. Like the Wizard of Oz orchestrating proceedings from behind his curtain, Prater collaborated with them all to the highest degree, succeeding - virtually singlehandedly as it is now recognised - in elevating the
medium to an accepted art form within the eyes of even our most traditional institutions. Early converts included Eduardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton, the latter instigating the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) sponsorship and exhibition of a portfolio of prints in 1964.

He was, nonetheless, a pioneering screenprinter and indeed worked as a master printing technician at Kelpra Studios for a time, before going on to teach at the Leicester College of Art where his meticulous approach influenced a new generation of artists working in the medium which, by the early 60s, had exploded in popularity. 92§ HC653/17 MICHAEL HALE (BRITISH b. 1932) INTERVAL 2 Signed, dated ‘81and inscribed with title in pencil to margin, artist’s proof, screenprint 62cm x 49cm (24.5in x 19.25in)

R. J. Kitaj, Victor Pasmore, Peter Phillips, Bridget Riley and William Turnbull. These artists (and many more besides, including John Piper who became a long term acolyte), continued to collaborate with Prater and incorporated screenprinting fully into their oeuvre, producing works equally as important, acclaimed and collectable as their paintings. In 1980 the Praters gifted their collection of printer’s proofs (a copy of every print they had ever worked on) to Tate, securing their legacy for
the enjoyment of the public and ensuring that this fascinating and important chapter in the history of British art would not be forgotten.

PETER STROUD Stroud, a member of the ‘Situation’ group, was another artist strongly associated with the Kelpra Studios. Born 23 May 1921 in Ealing, Middlesex, Stroud was a professional soldier during WW2 and prisoner of war in Italy and Germany between 1941– 5. After his return home he studied for a teacher’s diploma at London University, attending the Central and Hammersmith Schools of Art part time. Otherwise, however, he was largely self-taught. He had his first one-man exhibition at the I.C.A. in 1960 and was represented by Marlborough Galleries throughout the 1960s.

GORDON HOUSE Welsh-born graphic artist Gordon House could legitimately be named the instigator of the screenprint revolution in the UK. He was the figure who first approached Prater and produced what could be described as the first fine art print in the UK, encouraging his friends in the London art scene to follow. House is one of those artists who wielded a significant amount of behind-the-scenes influence in terms of setting aesthetic trends, exploring new media and engendering a network of collaboration within the artistic community; in his case Swinging Sixties London. He worked, for example, on some of the
most famous record covers of the decade – designing the Beatles’ ‘White Album’ and the back of ‘Sergeant Pepper’, while his good friend Peter Blake tackled the front. His impact and legacy as a designer is perhaps best described in the words of his friend Bernard Cohen: “(House) had a vision of what the environment of art (catalogues, private view cards, exhibition posters, even galleries) could look like. At the start of the 1960s, galleries and museums lacked any kind of coherent approach to matters of communication and presentation. They were without house styles, and seemed to change graphics with every exhibition. The art world was
filled with stylistic debris, just as London was still covered with the debris of the Second World War. Gordon’s graphics helped clear away the debris of the galleries, and contributed to a new spirit that in turn helped rebuild London. A new generation of dealers quickly recognised the freshness of his designing.” In light of his wide-ranging influence it seems something of an aberration that he is not a household name.
‘Situation’ Situation was an exhibition held in the Royal Society of British Artists in 1960 and is heralded as the key abstract exhibition of that decade. It

provided a platform for those artists adopting the new “hard-edged” form of painting and printing, including Robyn Denny, William Turnbull and John Hoyland among others. The catalogue was designed by Gordon House. Though the popularity of this aesthetic would not survive the 1970s and their prints are extremely good value today, their crisp, minimal simplicity has begun to once again appeal to collectors.

£600-800 Denny, a key force behind the “Swinging Sixties London” visual aesthetic, had his first solo exhibition in London in 1957, and in 1960 helped to organise and take part in “Situation” at the RBA Galleries. Tremendously successful throughout the 1960s he showed all round the world, in cities including Milan, Stuttgart, Cologne, New York and Zurich. In 1966 he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale, and in 1973
became the youngest artist to be awarded a retrospective by the Tate. Though he established himself successfully as a practicing artist, Denny also taught parttime at Hammersmith School of Art, the Slade and Bath Academy of Art, Corsham. He is now remembered as an “elder-statesman” of British abstraction.
“Hard-Edged” Abstraction and the screenprint The expression “hard-edged” painting was first used in 1959 to describe a form of abstraction adopted by many artists on the West Coast of America. These artists were
reacting against the more painterly, gestural forms favoured by Abstract Expressionism. Their approach was rooted in the urban, the impersonal and even the mechanical – taking a cue from Russian Constructivism. The same trend developed across the Atlantic in the UK, with a core group of artists consciously departing ideologically and stylistically from the St Ives School of abstraction. “Op Art” and indeed much of the visual imagery of “Pop Art” could be viewed as an extension of this. Screenprinting, it was found, was perfectly suited to the deliberate flatness, sharp
edges and monochromatic forms of the “hard-edged” aesthetic. Though the technology had been around for a long time, it didn’t migrate into the art world until the late 1950s, instigated by the likes of Andy Warhol. It also enabled artists to (cheaply) produce high quality images on a larger scale than the traditional printing plate had previous allowed.

£1,000-1,500
Melik Ohanian is a French contemporary artist of Armenian origin. Born in France in 1969, he now lives and works in Paris and New York. His artworks have been exhibited internationally, including solo shows at Palais de Tokyo in Paris, South London Gallery in London, De Appel in Amsterdam, Matucana 100 in Santiago de Chile and the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art. He has also taken part in a large
number of high-profile group exhibitions, including biennials in Sao Paolo, Berlin, Sydney, Moscow and Lyon. Recently, his work has featured at Art Basel in both Basel and Miami Beach as well as the 52nd and 56th editions of the Venice Biennale. Drawing on research, and scientific and philosophical methodologies, he has developed a body of work that uses a wide range of
mediums, including film, photography and installation. The majority of his work is interested in the concept of time and the idea of territories, both physical and conceptual. Selected Recordings #084 is part of Ohanian’s ‘Selected Recordings’ series; an unlimited series of photographs that he started in 2000. Each print is unique and carries only an identifying number, no title. There is also
neither a geographical nor a time reference to situate the images. This lends each work a mysterious and surreal atmosphere, leaving the viewer to situate the works themselves, unencumbered by factual information. Ohanian’s wish is that, upon agreement, photographs from the series can be exchanged between owners, both individual and institutional.

£1,000-1,500
Born in Pennsylvania in 1898, Alexander Calder was an American sculptor famed for the creation of the first mobiles and is viewed as one of the most celebrated sculptors of the 20th century. Initially graduating with an engineering degree from the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1919 Calder undoubtedly had a passion
for creating movable objects. However, he later made the decision to move to New York to pursue his career as an artist by studying painting at the Art Students League from 1923-6. Subsequently, Calder tried his hand at many jobs including steam boat stoker, draftsman and map-colourist, and illustrator for the National Police Gazette, which led to his interest in the circus and inspired his popular moving figures and toys that made up Cirque Calder. Calder spent a substantial amount of time in Paris where he befriended Abstract artists Joan Miró and Piet Mondrian who had a great
influence in the permanent shift from figuration to abstraction and the incorporation of kinetic elements into Calder’s sculptural works. Using his knowledge as an engineer, Calder’s Mobiles were perfectly weighted and balanced whilst appearing to be randomly arranged. The prints which Calder produced from the 1930s reflect his sculptures and his penchant for abstract forms. The use of thin lines to define figures in his earlier works came to outline geometric shapes. Such prints often reflect Calder’s protest to the Vietnam War and this can be
seen in his poster prints of the late 1960s. By introducing the element of movement into his pieces Calder redefined sculpture. He also created static sculptures (known as Stabiles) as well as paintings, stage sets, jewellery and costume, showing his versatility as an artist. Calder died in New York in 1976 at the age of 78. This was the same year in which he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom as well as the Bicentennial Artist Award from the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.

183§ HC653/19 IAN HAMILTON FINLAY C.B.E.

£800-1,200
For Finlay, the Dryad was intended to embody different aspects of European culture, classical and modern. Born in 1925 and having served in the British Army from 1942, Finlay witnessed the war at first hand and later came to reflect on its meaning in cultural terms. The Dryad and many of his contemporaneous works explore and blend the visual languages of the classical world and those thrown up respectively by the French Revolution and the Third Reich. In these works, executed across a wide range of media, the modern is invariably painted or draped across the classical as a visual metaphor for the temporal precedence of the classical, and for the way it preconfigures the modern. There are more subtle nuances to the design of the Dryad; the figure itself is naturalistic, buxom, with a hint of sensuality, draped in a revealing military smock, while the head with its elaborate hair-do are formed to classical Greek statuary. Once again, Finlay draws a comparison between classical and modern.

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.

Please note that all first time bidders at Lyon & Turnbull will be asked to supply the following documents in order to facilitate registration: 1 – Government issued photo ID (Passport/ Driving licence) 2 – Proof of address (utility bill/ bank statement). We may, at our option, also ask you to provide a bank reference and/ or deposit. By registering for the sale, the buyer acknowledges that he or she has read, understood and accepted our Conditions of Sale.
Bidding At the Sale Registered bidders will be assigned a bidder number and given a paddle for use at the sale. Once the first bid has been placed, the auctioneer asks for higher bids in increments determined by the auctioneer. To place your bid, simply raise your paddle until the auctioneer acknowledges you. Please ensure that the auctioneer repeats your bidder number correctly when confirming the sale. If there is any doubt at this stage as to the hammer price or buyer it must be brought to the auctioneer’s attention immediately. All lots will be invoiced to the name and address given on your registration form, which is non-transferable.
By phone A limited number of telephone lines are available for bidding by phone through a Lyon & Turnbull representative. Phone lines must be reserved in advance. All bid requests must be received an hour before the sale. All telephone bids must be confirmed in writing, listing the relevant lots and appropriate number to be called. We recommend that a covering bid is also left in the event that we are unable to make the call. We cannot guarantee that lines will be available, or that we will be able to call you on the day, but will endeavor to undertake such bids to the best of our abilities. This service is available entirely at our discretion and at the bidder’s risk. In writing Bid forms are available at the sale and/or the back of the catalogue. These should be submitted in person, by post, or by fax as soon as possible prior to the sale and we will bid on your behalf up to the limit indicated. In the event of receiving two identical bids the first one received will take precedence. All bids must be received an hour before the sale. This service is entirely at the bidder’s risk.
