PETER HOWSON Widely renowned for his ability to effectively convey raw emotion, and his unique figurative style, Peter Howson’s works are instantly recognisable. Howson studied at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1970s and quickly gained recognition throughout the art world with a series of commissions and exhibitions. In 1993, Howson was appointed by the Imperial War Museum to the position of British Official War Artist during the Bosnian Civil War. Howson himself has described this time in Bosnia as being ‘wrought with difficulty’, as he struggled to convey the horror of what he witnessed in his works and make them resonate with a British audience.
15§ HC140/3 PETER HOWSON (SCOTTISH b. 1958) BOAR HUNT, 1994 Signed and dated ‘94, pastel on paper 52cm x 78cm (20.5in x 30.75in) Exhibited: Flowers East, London
£2,000-3,000
Included in this sale are Howson works from this Bosnian period previously exhibited by Flowers Gallery in London. ‘Mascotte’, ‘Wham Baam Maam 3!’, and ‘Boar Hunt’, were all completed in 1994 using pastel on paper. As is typical of Howson, the main focus within these works is upon the human subjects depicted, indeed, the only use of warm colour by the artist in these works is to highlight the subject’s faces. Not only does this limited use of colour serve to contrast with the cool, blue toned paper and instantly draw the viewer’s eyes to the human
subjects, it serves to highlight a difference between the individuals’ wretched surroundings, and the subjects themselves. Other subject matter included in these works serve to convey further the predominant feeling of wartime melancholy, particularly the inclusion of ammunitions, decapitated boar’s heads, and skulls and crossed bones. Howson was widely praised for his work as Official War Artist, and all three of these works for sale are typical examples of his work from this formative and defining period of his career.

JOCK MCFADYEN McFadyen’s work has had a series of different focus points: moving from the witty conjectures he made in Art College, to the population of London East End waifs and strays of the 1980s before he started to produce less figurative work in the 1990s as the urban landscape became his predominant subject. Throughout his career, as well as exhibiting prolifically, McFadyen has been involved in a wide range of interesting commissions and collaborations. This began with his appointment as Artist in Residence at the National Gallery in London in 1981, which was the catalyst of his move to observed working, of which the East End waifs and strays were the result. In the early 1990s he was commissioned by the Imperial War Museum to record events around the dismantling of the
Berlin Wall before working on the set and costumes for ballet performances at the Royal Opera House. McFayen has claimed that his painterly influences include Sickert, Whistler and Lowry but for the most part he finds his inspiration in 1970s realist film and contemporary novels and music rather than art. As a result he has worked in collaboration with a range of writers including Iain Sinclair, Howard Jacobson and Will Self. In 2005, he took his collaborative efforts a step further by founding The Grey Gallery, with his wife, the musician Susie Honeyman. It

is a nomadic entity which works with artists, writers and musicians on a project basis, with the intention of working across disciplines and outside of existing frameworks established by dealers and curators. McFadyen’s talent has been consistently recognised and celebrated, through his highprofile commissions as well as with the inclusion of his work in 30 public collections, as well as private collections worldwide. He was elected a Royal Academician in 2012, confirming his place within the British artistic establishment.

In Japan, the country of his birth, Foujita is one the most famous artists. Yet his career was formed in the West, in Montparnasse, Paris during the early decades of the twentieth century. At his peak he was more successful than his good friend Picasso, and was a formative influence on his studio mate Modigliani. Fame and wealth came swiftly and within a dozen years of his arrival in Paris he had received the Legion of Honor, as well as the Belgian Order of Léopold I. That his name does not inspire the same level of recognition as his peers is in part due to this high level of early success. His work was and remains keenly collected and as such few of our national
institutions hold a significant body of his work, meaning that apart from brief appearances on the open market, he remains somewhat elusive to gallerygoers. Foujita’s work was as idiosyncratic as the man himself. The archetypical bohemian, he adopted a distinctive aesthetic; a helmet of hair inspired by Egyptian sculpture, earrings, Grecian robes and round rimmed glasses. He had a tattoo of a wristwatch and on occasion could be seen wearing a lampshade as a hat. Yet, all of this was pulled off with a minimalist, sophisticated panache. His personality and style, both highly original and carefully considered, was
reflected in his work. An advocate of line over colour, Foujita employed the delicacy and simplicity of traditional Japanese artistic methods to create meticulous, delicate interpretations of his studio, the alleys of Montparnasse and his muses - both female and feline! The quirky work offered here for sale consists of gently observed caricatures and cartoonish sketches, and is a charming insight into this fascinating artist’s world. It was executed in 1932, the year Foujita was to leave Paris for new adventures in South America where he mounted exhibitions of his work that were met with wild success.

The owl on the figure's right hand shoulder was inspired by Antoni Clavé, a Catalan artist who he admired. The work uses many of Byrne's recurring motifs, including the "still-life or moon section" above the left hand shoulder, designed to tip the picture plane and very common in his practice at this time. The scumbly paint surface texture is also typical of this period.

£3,000-5,000
Few have so successfully managed to embody the word ‘artist’ as wholly or uniquely as the polymathic David Bowie. Best known of course as a singer/songwriter, Bowie’s entire career was spent actively blurring the lines between the art forms of music, performance and design; the visual playing as big a part as the aural. Famously modest, the extent of Bowie’s skill as a painter and passion for collecting is little known amongst the general public. He, like so many of the influential bands that formed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, was a product of an art school education. As well as practising art, he also read widely on the subject, even becoming well-regarded as a critic in the 1990s. His own personal collection features many Modern British artists including Ben Nicholson, Stanley Spencer, David Bomberg, Frank Auerbach, Patrick Caulfield and Peter Lanyon, as well as Damien Hirst and Scottish artist Peter Howson. He was particularly drawn to figuration in all of its 20th century guises, and his own art is largely formed of abstracted head studies. His style references some of the bizarreness and esotericism of 1930s era German Expressionist art, unsurprising given the dark
and atmospheric impact that the city of Berlin had on his musical output. Though painting and art was a huge part of Bowie’s life, his work is extremely scarce to market, and Lyon & Turnbull are excited to offer this selfportrait by the artistic legend, its title ‘DHEAD’ being eerily prescient given the timing of its arrival at auction. The art work was philanthropically donated by Bowie to a large
fund-raising exhibition called ‘ARTAID ‘98’, held at the City Art Centre in Edinburgh in that year. Here his work was hung alongside artists including Craigie Aitchison, Howard Hodgkin, Gilbert and George and Ken Currie. Bowie, perhaps aware that his legacy as a musical genius was likely to forever overshadow his output as a visual artist (or for that matter, as an actor), he
seldom exhibited his artwork and his last solo show was in the 1990s. Examples of his Berlin-era portraiture were featured in the 2013 blockbuster exhibition ‘David Bowie Is’ at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, where they received critical acclaim in their own right.

The Scottish contemporary art scene is thriving, a fact long recognised on the international stage. Glasgow was recently named one of the top five centres for contemporary art worldwide and has contributed no less than six winners to the prestigious Turner Prize and countless nominees. In acknowledgment, the city hosted the 2015 awards. Edinburgh remains the country’s commercial centre and is of course also home to the world’s largest arts festival which takes place in August. ‘The New Glasgow Boys’ Peter Howson, Steven Campbell and Ken Currie claimed the spotlight in the 1980s and were swiftly taken up by London and New York-based collectors. In the 1990s, the likes of Douglas Gordon, David Shrigley and Christine Borland influenced much of the artistic dialogue in the UK. This was largely off the back of the success of Glasgow School of Arts innovative and highly regarded Environmental Art course, the focus of which is to create art for a public - be it urban or rural - environment, as opposed to a traditional institutional space. Turner prize nominated artist James ‘Jim’ Lambie is one of the stalwarts of the burgeoning Scottish art scene and a Glasgow man born and
bred. His work, perhaps more so than any of his contemporaries, encapsulates the best features of the Scottish art scene; it is inclusive, unpretentious, pleasurable and energetic. He revels in the sensory and emotional impact of his artworks as opposed to playing intellectual games, and this makes his work populist (in the very best sense of the word) and accessible to all.
The piece represented here for sale is emblematic of one of Lambie’s core themes: his love of music and his interest in conveying what he sees as the symbiotic relationship between both artistic mediums. Collage and embellishment play a recurrent role in his practise and he takes pleasure in exposing the mechanics of his process to his audience. The work is part of a series which juxtaposes images of famous
rock stars with anachronistic, finely painted floral motifs in oils. Here we see them figuratively blossoming out of the mouth of Sid Vicious, the ill-fated punk musician of the Sex Pistols. Iconoclastic but light-hearted; it is a thing of beauty, black humour and a sincere homage to a rock ’n’ roll idol.

£15,000-20,000
One of Ireland’s best known and most influential artists, throughout the course of his career the Dublin-born Scully has achieved phenomenal success and international recognition. His work can be found in world-class collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, The Guggenheim, New York, The Smithsonian, Washington D.C., and Tate Modern, London to name but a few. Though he took up residence in New York in the early 1970s, his appeal has not diminished in Ireland and the British Isles and over the years Scully has seen himself nominated for the prestigious Turner Prize on two separate occasions, 1989 and 1993. Best described as a Modernist painter, Scully’s
relationship with the U.S.A. can assist our reading of his work, connected as it is to the legacy of Abstract Expressionism. His trademark stripes, squares and rectangles meet and intercept; their relationship to one another conveying a sense of movement. The tonal harmonising and interplay of colour and form engages our emotions, their meditative quality evocative of the work of the great Mark Rothko. Subtle and reflective,
Scully’s works speak to their viewers with a quiet, nuanced power. While he layers his oils densely, his watercolours, like the example we are pleased to offer here for sale, have a more elusive, ephemeral quality. The colours interact; gently drifting forward and simultaneously recessing, quietly intense and coolly calm. Scully’s work is absorbing and symphonic in its simplicity.

‘Art was always a means to me of getting in contact with another world . . . you could never see that other world and were never told about it, but art seemed to always be kind of touching it’ Sidney Nolan is Australia’s most honoured and internationally acclaimed modern painter. He was a major figure in the modernist movement and is considered to have shaped contemporary Australian art, through his involvement with the Angry Penguins; a collection of painters who sought to modernise the creative scene and challenge existing traditions. Nolan first attracted attention for his series of paintings inspired by the life of the outlaw Ned Kelly, which remain a key group of works in the Australian art oeuvre. Nolan became a full-time painter at 21, after attending art night classes. For the most part, he found traditional art schooling dull and preferred to follow his own nose at the local library, as a voracious reader. In his youth, he lived and worked within the vibrant artistic community in Melbourne and was supported and encouraged by patrons and publicists, Sunday and John Reed, whose house became a focus of many artistic circles.
Travel became a hugely important part of Nolan’s life and work. He travelled throughout Australia, revelling in the rugged and extreme beauty of the interior, which was to remain an inspiration throughout his career and a place to which he always returned to marvel. A move to London in 1951, facilitated wide travel
throughout Europe, before a travelling scholarship took him to America at the end of that decade. He also travelled to China, Africa and Antarctica in his lifetime. ‘African Landscape with Elephant and Antelope’ was inspired by one such travel experience to the African continent and the animals he encountered there. In
keeping with Nolan’s spirit of experimentation, it was painted using ripolin, a branded fast-drying, fluid commercial enamel paint. In this case, the striking colour and distinctive texture convey the extreme heat and light of the African landscape - the elephant and antelope’s natural habitat.

We are delighted to offer a collection of prints that were produced for the exhibition ‘Fourteen Big Prints’, organised by Bernard Jacobson and held in his gallery in 1972. Jacobson had decided to invite a variety of contemporary artists who he had known for a long time, and whose work he thought would look good on a large scale. His intention was that the exhibition would draw a new audience to contemporary art, in the hope that ‘perhaps one day the general public will realise that art didn’t in fact end with Van Gogh.’ The catalogue included comments and correspondence from each of the artists or their peers on their artistic process and included works.
Eduardo Paolozzi (J.G. Ballard on Eduardo Paolozzi, 1971) ‘I think the biggest need of the painter or writer today is information. I’d love to have a tickertape machine in my study constantly churning out material: abstracts from scientific journals, the latest Hollywood gossip, the passenger list of a 707 that crashed in the Andes, the colour mixes of a new automobile varnish. In fact, Eduardo and I in our different ways are already gathering this kind of information, but we are using the clumsiest possible tool to do it: our own hands and eyes’ ‘It’s always struck me that Eduardo’s studio is lavishly equipped with photographic and recording equipment of various kinds. He spends a large part of his time on information collection and sorting’ 144 HD788/4 SIR EDUARDO PAOLOZZI K.B.E., R.A., H.R.S.A. (SCOTTISH 1924-2005) WHO’S AFRAID OF SUGARPINK AND LIME-GREEN?

AGENCY Lyon & Turnbull acts as agent solely for and in the interests of the Seller. We do not act for Buyers in this role and does not give advice to Buyers. When Lyon & Turnbull make a statement about a lot it is doing so on behalf of the Seller of the lot. The Auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by Sellers or Buyers. 3. BIDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER (a) Bidders are required to register their particulars before bidding and to satisfy any security and credit references or arrangements before entering the auction room to view or bid; (b) The maker of the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the Buyer and any dispute shall be settled at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion.
(c) Once made, no bid may be withdrawn. (d) Our right to bid on behalf of Sellers is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve. (e) The right to refuse any bid is also reserved. (f) Commission Bids: While prospective Buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall, if so instructed, clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor our employees nor agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. (g) Telephone Bids: If a prospective Buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in bidding by telephone. We do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connections. (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.

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.
