J
ohn Bellany was one of the most acclaimed Scottish artists of his generation. He is best known for depicting the lives of fishing communities along the east coast of Scotland as this is where he spent his childhood. In 1960 he began studying at the Edinburgh College of Art and later went on to study at the Royal College of Art, London. His artwork is almost entirely figural, with many of his portraits being of family members or female figures. Themes of Christianity, mortality and sin are seen throughout his paintings especially during the 1970’s, when the influence of alcohol resulted in a period of self-destruction in Bellany’s life. Mortality and the flawed nature of humanity are common tropes and this early work from c.1968 is redolent with eerie undertones. Alexander Moffat, the close friend and artistic peer of Bellany, suggests that this particular painting may be based on one of the characters they met drinking in the pubs of Rose
Street, Edinburgh during their student days together. Referring to them as “old biddys”, Bellany loved imagining other people’s lives and enjoyed making up stories to incorporate into his art. Like most of his portraits produced in the late 1960’s and early 70’s the background is very plain, comprising one flat plane of colour and some shadowing. Many of his elderly figures or “old biddys” wear a simple cloak and, in this case, an elaborate hat, again focussing the viewer’s attention on the sitter’s ageing face. Bellany’s work is included in major museums and art galleries across the world, including Tate, London, The Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the National Galleries of Scotland. The late David Bowie, whose art collection caused such a stir when it recently came on the market, was a great supporter and collector of Bellany’s, reportedly once stating his top three painters to be “Tintoretto, Beckmann, Bellany”.

I
n 1980s and 90s Britain, abstraction and conceptual art dominated the art world, virtually without exception. By the mid-80s, in the world-famous Glasgow School of Art, a movement in reaction began to stir. The key figures – Peter Howson, Ken Currie, Adrian Wiszniewski, Steven Campbell, and later Stephen Conroy and Alison Watt – deliberately and decisively turned their focus towards the rejuvenation of a figurative-based practise. Critics, collectors and dealers soon sat up and took notice, and the artists swiftly became popular on an international stage; collectively becoming known as The New Glasgow Boys. Their ongoing influence on Scottish art and effect on the city of Glasgow itself cannot be overstated. Glasgow had yet to be awarded the Capital of Culture (which was received in 1990) and the
depressed post-industrial cityscape initially provided a basis of inspiration. Though the figure is treated very differently by each artist, all feature a sense of the uncanny or surreal to varying degrees, and arguably explore a sense of darkness which taps in to a longterm undercurrent in Scottish cultural history, detectable from Jekyll and Hyde through Trainspotting and beyond. Stephen Conroy chose to explore the dramatic impact of isolation and incongruity within his own work. His carefully drawn, painterly figures are often placed against a jolt of flat pure colour in a context-less background. As well as tipping a subtle nod to Francis Bacon, the starkness of the contrast creates a sense of airlessness and intensity. A further esoteric layer is added by the oblique nature of his titles, typified here in The Wheel, 2002.

K
en Currie graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1983 and is considered to be one of the most significant figurative painters of his generation. In the late 1990s, Currie began to move away from depicting the social narrative of his earlier career and from the industrialism that had defined the work of the New Glasgow Boys in the 1980s. His interest in the human body, both physical and metaphysical, became increasingly more prevalent. Between 1996 and 2000, these interests were brought into focus with a series of luminous and haunting paintings that surveyed the human body as a whole but also as a series of fragmented parts. Frostbite, 1999, is an important work from Currie’s oeuvre and is a defining example of this body of work from the late 1990s. Depicting a pair of frostbitten feet that appear to have been
submerged in water, this painting exemplifies Currie’s interest in the metaphysical space that surrounds the human body, depicting it as an almost ghostly entity. The paleness of the skin casts an ethereal, luminous glow which contrasts with the deep, mysterious tones that surround the feet. The colour palette can be seen as an exploration of the ambiguous boundary between life and death, a recurring motif for Currie, and is an investigation into the condition of the human body. The compelling composition of the feet in the upper canvas evokes the depth of the water. By stripping away references to location, the central motif is suspended in darkness giving an overall illusion of space, representing a metaphorical void beyond material existence.

STUDY FOR EL DORADO Pastel 30cm x 40cm (11.75in x 15.75in) £800‑1,200
P
eter Howson is arguably one of the finest and certainly one of the most controversial British painters of the late 20th and 21st centuries. Born in London in 1958, he moved with his parents to Scotland aged four and studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1975 – 1977, under Sandy Moffat. On graduating, he took on various jobs, including nightclub bouncer and supermarket manager before enlisting as a private soldier in the Royal Highland Fusiliers. In 1979, disenchanted with the army, he returned to art school and from 1981 began to show at Edinburgh’s influential 369 Gallery. What might be said to be Howson’s signature style first emerged in a series of murals made for Feltham Community Association in London in 1982, painted in an urban realist manner. He quickly developed this into a style highly reminiscent of Max Beckmann, with exaggerated musculature, sinister characters and voluptuous nudes. He also embraced Beckmann’s subject matter of extreme physical cruelty, depravity and dysfunctional behaviour. He was further influenced by the Mexican muralists of the early 20th century including Hidalgo, Rivera and Clemente. In his early works such as these offered here for sale, Howson concentrated on characterizations of working class men, at the gym, at football matches, in the pub, or merely in a crowd. The exemplar was his iconic painting The Heroic Dosser (1987, National Galleries of Scotland). Tied up with such subject
matter were his own memories of the brutality of his life as a soldier, together with his having been victimized and bullied at school and the sexual abuse he had suffered as a child. All of these fed into an art that became ever more brutal. It was almost inevitable, given the honesty, and graphically human monumentality of his work, that In 1992 Howson should have been commissioned by the Imperial War Museum to record the conflict in the former Yugoslavia and a year later been appointed official British war artist for Bosnia. The effect on the artist however, was near catastrophic and he suffered a breakdown. In fact Howson had always lived in a constant state of nervous anxiety. He suffers from Asperger’s syndrome, an autistic condition that manifests itself principally in an unusual memory for detail and an obsessive need for routine. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Howson’s work continued to display increasing levels of violence and voyeuristic sexuality. In 2000 Howson was treated for long-term alcoholism and drug addiction and that same year, possibly as result of this treatment, famously underwent a conversion to Christianity. Thereafter for a while, his work began to exhibit a strong religious content. Today, as always enigmatic, shy and unpredictable, he remains one of the most fascinating figures in 20th century British art, reflected by high profile patrons including David Bowie, Sylvester Stallone, Jack Nicholson and Madonna, who had apparently hung one of his canvases in her bedroom.

Elizabeth Blackadder Elizabeth Blackadder is well known for her images of cats, flowers and still lifes, but to see her as some comfortably predictable painter of the domestic scene would be a fundamental mistake, missing out on the ground breaking radicalism and intellectual acuity of an artist who is no less than a national treasure. Born in Falkirk, Blackadder studied at Edinburgh College of Art from 1949 to 1955 under Robert Philipson, William MacTaggart and William Gillies. Interestingly, as a student on the joint Fine Art course she was also taught art history by the esteemed art historian David Talbot Rice and this surely had an effect upon her development, specifically encouraging a growing interest in other cultures. A travelling scholarship in 1954 took her to Greece, Italy and Yugoslavia where she was influenced by Byzantine art and mosaics. On a further scholarship to Italy the following year she immersed herself in early Renaissance art but also looked at such contemporary artists as Morandi, whose extraordinarily spare still lifes would later be recalled in her own work. The drawings made on the early Italian journey also reveal the extraordinary talent for draughtsmanship which has continued to underpin her practice over the last sixty years. In 1956 Blackadder married the landscape painter John Houston and together they began to travel extensively, all the time increasing their shared visual vocabulary. As a developing artist, Blackadder was never averse to new ideas and in particular, despite the fact that she could never be described as an ‘abstract artist’, gained much from her understanding of the non-figurative revolution which swept through European and American painting in the late 1950s and 1960s. Having in the early 1960s worked extensively in landscapes which echo Gillies, by 1965 Blackadder was looking at new ways of approaching the still life, taking her cue from Redpath and the Edinburgh School but bringing to this her own unique vision which drew on sources as diverse as Mughal miniatures and colour-field abstraction.
Through the 1980s and 90s, as she worked in different styles for each of her chosen genres, her botanical work became more intense and her landscapes ever simpler. At the same time, the still lifes, such as that offered here, adopted a yet more flattened appearance with no perspective whatsoever. The objects were always chosen with care: from popular toys and ornaments to Japanese and Indian prints, floating in their space, often surrounded by a shimmering aura, suggesting an individual presence and character. Similarly, the frequent use of a partial painted frame, in this case on the bottom left of the picture, is a device borrowed from both Mughal and Japanese art, serving to locate the picture in an ambient space within the canvas. The pink silk kimono pictured here, one from her own collection and often seen in photographs of the artist’s studio, also features in other earlier works. Here, set against an ochre ground more like gold in its intensity and richness, it seems almost venerated, like some early Siennese altarpiece. While from one viewpoint, we might see this as a garment hanging on a wall, from another, in keeping with Blackadder’s practice, it has a sense of floating in space or being suspended above a vertical plane. Depicted life-size, it also emphasises the importance of this particular painting in the artist’s oeuvre as a supreme invocation of the Japanese culture in which she has maintained a lifelong interest. In this painting, evoked with characteristic eloquence, is the essential spirit of that ancient tradition which had originally reawakened in Blackadder the understanding that every painting she made was not simply an image but a created object, imbued with the unparalleled power of art to unlock memory and become a unique aid to contemplation.

Sam Ainsley “It would be too easy, but ultimately insulting, to label Ainsley as a feminist painter…she cares deeply about women’s place in society, anxiously investigates the biological, anatomical, and physiological characteristics of her gender, but goes well beyond these concerns in her attempts to explore ‘through visual metaphor’ the dualities of intellect v passion, male v female, parochial v global. Her unframed flat canvases, cut in shapes as random as pieces of jigsaw, scudding round the room like psychedelic clouds, with her favoured red, a vibrant magical red, as dominant as ever. They are vivid and haunting visual poetry”. W Gordon Smith – in a review of Ainsleys Kelvingrove exhibition in 1990. he artist, teacher and spokeswoman for the visual arts, Sam Ainsley moved to Scotland in 1976 from Newcastle T to study at the Edinburgh College of Art. From there she
spent 25 years teaching at The Glasgow School of Art (GSA), spending 6 years on the hugely influential Environmental Art programme established by David Harding in 1985. Following this she spent 15 years as head of the visionary Master of Fine Art (MFA) programme, the first of its kind in Scotland, which she co-founded alongside colleagues Roger Palmer and Sandy Moffat in 1991. During her time at GSA, Ainsley was instrumental in the early careers of some of the most influential contemporary artists of a generation. Included in this prestigious list are Tuner Prize winners; Simon Starling, Richard Wright, Martin Boyce and Duncan Campbell, Turner Prize nominated Christine Boland, Jim Lambie, and David Shrigley in addition artists to Claire Barclay, Rosalind Nashashibi, Michael Fullerton, Ross Sinclair and Roddy Buchanan. Throughout her career Ainsley has exhibited in and curated independent exhibitions and undertaken residencies in numerous institutions and arts organisations across the
USA, Australasia, Europe and the UK. Exhibition highlights include: ‘Why I choose Red’ at The Third Eye Centre, Glasgow 1987; ‘Mapping the Difference’ I Space Gallery, Chicago 1995 / H.A.U Gallery Athens, 1999; ‘Red Room’ at the VCA Gallery, Melbourne, 2001; ‘After Growth and Form’ with Artist Professor Roger Wilson at the Glasgow Print Studio, Glasgow, 2011. During Ainsley’s career her work has been collected both privately and publicly in the collections of Leeds City Gallery, The National Museum of Scotland, The Jardine Collection, The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, The 20th Century Collection of Women’s Art Cambridge and The Gallery of Modern Art Glasgow. Highly regarded and much respected throughout Scotland, Sam Ainsley was recently elected to the Royal Scottish Academy in recognition of her contribution to Scottish art and culture. We look forward to the significant and ongoing contribution that Sam will make to the visual arts in Scotland. It is a privilege to both know and work with Sam and I look forward to exhibiting with her and my fellow Academicians in The Royal Scottish Academy Stuart T Mackenzie R.S.A. – Artist and Colleague. Lyon & Turnbull are delighted to present works from her private collection in this auction. The pieces here represent the creative practice of an artist whose impact has truly changed the landscape of Contemporary Art in Scotland. Through innovation and steely determination Sam Ainsley has helped build the foundations for future generations of artists to thrive and succeed in Scotland and beyond.

Throughout my student years, Sam was a huge source of inspiration to myself and others, her ideas, generosity and enthusiasm were often a catalyst for art projects and collaborations. In particular, she has always championed the creative work of female artists, helping to instil confidence and pursuing gender equality through her work. Her unique insights, memory for details, and story-telling ability, continue to be a gift to all those that know her. Claire Barclay – Artist (MFA, 1993)
It was the degree of care and commitment that I experienced from Sam being a student both in Environmental Art and on the MFA, that and she remembers everything! I mean we all remember Sam Ainsley… but she remembers all of us, all the conversations in the Vic bar, all the works we made, the craziness on the school trips and all the exhibitions there’s been since… and now she knows all our children and cares about them too.

Carlos Mérida Carlos Mérida is one of the most celebrated of Latin-American 20th century artists. Born in Guatemala City, he moved to the country with his parents but returned to the city in 1909 to study at the Instituto de Artes y Artesanias. Although music was his first love, he now resolved on a career as an artist. While a student he began to make contacts among the intelligentsia, including Jaime Sabartés (the biographer of Picasso) and the painter Carlos Valenti. He was helped by Sabartés to organize his first one man show in Guatemala city in 1910. Mérida travelled to Paris with Valenti in 1910 and while there met members of the artistic community including Picasso, Mondrian and Modigliani and the Latin-American artists Diego Rivera and Angel Zarraga. However, after just four months Valenti shot himself dead. Deeply affected by this tragedy, Mérida temporarily lost interest in his art but was encouraged not to give up by the Mexican muralist Roberto Montenegro. He remained in France until 1914 and the outbreak of war, at which point he returned to Guatemala and began to engage with its folklore. In 1919 he married a Mexican and moved permanently to Mexico, shortly after the Mexican Revolution and a year before Diego Rivera was to return from Europe. Mérida’s first exhibition in Mexico was in 1920 at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes. In that same year, he exhibited in the United States at the Hispanic Society of New York and in 1922 participated in both the Independent Artists Exhibition and at the Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes in Guatemala. Joining an artists’ group, the Renacimiento Mexicano (Mexican Renaissance) he went on that same year to work with Rivera as an assistant at the Bolivar Amphitheatre in Mexico City, and with Rivera, Orozco, and Siqueiros founded the Union of Workers, Technicians, Painters and Sculptors. His first mural as a solo artist was a commission in 1923 to paint the Children’s Library of the Ministry of Public Education with a mural entitled Little Red Riding Hood and the Four Elements. He then had an important one man show at the Valentin Dudesing Gallery in New York in 1926. Mérida constantly experimented with techniques and his work can be divided into three periods: a figurative period from 1907 to 1926, a surrealist period from the late 1920s to the mid-1940s and from 1950 until his death, a geometric period.
In 1927 he again visited Paris, staying for two years and while there took on board Surrealist influences, in particular from Klee, Kandinsky and Miro. During this Surrealist period he experimented with abstraction, making him almost unique among Mexican artists. Although influenced by the Europeans, he maintained his belief in an indigenous Latin-American art firmly rooted in the Mayan and Aztec civilizations, along with the colonial period. His later works fused elements from the Mayan world with geometric abstraction and he also integrated into many of his smaller-scale paintings the indigenous Mexican “papel amate” (bark wood paper). In addition to creating drawings, canvasses and murals, Mérida also worked in education. In 1932, he founded the dance school of the Secretariat of Public Education with Carlos Orozco Romero and ran it for three years. This interest in dance also prompted numerous designs for stage sets and costumes. In 1942 he went to teach at the North Texas State Teachers College in Denton and over the next 20 years held another 45 shows in the USA and 18 in Mexico, participating in the International Surrealist Exhibition in 1940 in Mexico City. In the late 1940s, Mérida began to make murals again, notably at the Secretaria de Rucursos Hidraulicos. From 1949 he also began to investigate the integration of different arts and 1950 he again visited Europe specifically to study Venetian mosaic techniques. On his return home he undertook a major project with the celebrated architect Pani for the Benito Juárez housing project (which sadly was destroyed in the 1985 earthquake). From the 1950s onwards Mérida’s art began to show a Constructivist style, which was demonstrated in murals and mosaics in such projects as those at the Alianza Insurance building in Mexico City (1953), the City Hall of Guatemala City (1956), the Instituto Guatemalteco de Seguridad Social, the Crédito Hipotectario Nacional and at the Bank of Guatemala. In 1957 Mérida won the acquisition prize at the IV Bienal de São Paulo, Brazil and in 1958 received Order of Quetzal from the Guatemalan government. His first retrospective was in 1966, an in 1980 he received the Orden del Aguila Azteca from Mexico. The Palacio de Bellas Artes held further retrospectives in 1981 and 1992.

131 [§] DAMIEN HIRST (BRITISH B.1965)
UNTITLED (FROM LONDON, GROUP PORTFOLIO) 1992, screenprint 84cm x 60cm (33in x 23.5in) £1,500‑2,500
Note: The offered work, Untitled, was Damien Hirst’s first ever print. It was made for the landmark portfolio ‘London’, which featured the work of eleven young, emerging artists including Marc Quinn, Rachel Whiteread, Michael Landy and Gavin Turk; artists who had recently exploded onto the contemporary art scene, largely thanks to a series of exhibitions organised by Hirst in London in the late 1980s: Freeze, Gambler and Modern Medicine. The portfolio was conceived as a portable exhibition of this emerging generations’ work and was published by Paragon Press in an edition of sixty-five, plus artist proofs. Copies of the portfolio now belong to many major museums, including Tate, which has edition No. 6. Hirst’s contribution depicts a set of rocks against a varnished, pink backdrop. The structured layout of the rocks references an organisational grid format, a characteristic method of Hirst’s, which also appears in his series of ‘Spot’ paintings and medicine cabinets. Hirst has claimed that the arrangement reminded him of geography illustrations from school textbooks, indicating an appreciation for science and sense of nostalgia that also permeates his other series.

I
n Monster Reborn Douglas Gordon depicts himself twice, once in a straight portrait, and then again in a distorted view, where dressed and staged completely the same, just his face is distorted using sellotape. This creates a striking duality between the presentable, rational man and a monstrous other, held within the same body. Beyond that Monster Reborn is a 2002 re-interpretation of one of Gordon’s previous artworks, 1996’s Monster. In this re-working the artist has reversed the order of the photographs, so now the monstrous self-depiction appears first, on the left-hand side. Raising the question, did the monster come before the man?
Contemporary & Post-War Art 63
Although Monster Reborn is particularly self-referential, mostly Gordon references other cultural phenomenon in his art, the best known being his video installation 24-Hour Psycho, where he slowed down Alfred Hitchcock’s feature film Psycho, until it lasted 24 hours, warping any sense of suspense created by the original. The duality of experience is also a key focus for Gordon, particularly internal conflict between the self and other, and our rational and monstrous traits. It has been argued that this focus is a particularity in the Scottish cultural psyche and can be traced back to literary texts such as The
Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner by James Hogg and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. In his artistic practice, Gordon is exploring its contemporary relevance, both personally and visually. Douglas Gordon trained at Glasgow School of Art and the Slade School of Art, before winning the Turner Prize in 1996. He now lives and works in Berlin, Glasgow and New York. Monster Reborn features in the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland.

S
cottish born and based artists, Matthew Dalziel and Louise Scullion, have been working collaboratively since 1993 and now run an Environmental Art Practice from the University of Dundee. They have exhibited internationally, and received high-profile commissions as part of the British Art Show and Venice Biennale. In their own words, Dalziel + Scullion’s artistic practice is interested in ‘new artistic languages around the subject of ecology,’ and their work ‘strives to visualise aspects of our shared environments from alternative perspectives and to re-establish and re-evaluate our engagement with the nonhuman species we live alongside.’ They use a range of media to stimulate this engagement, across photography, sound, sculpture and video, and both bringing aspects of nature into the gallery/studio and placing their works in the context of the natural world.
In the offered artworks, Dalziel + Scullion bring beautifully detailed photographs of specific landscape elements into the realm of contemporary art, by presenting them as large-scale lightboxes. This inherent juxtaposition of natural and synthetic is a distortion of our expectation of experiencing landscape, and immediately offers a new perspective for thinking about the natural world. This alteration of our perception of nature is extended through the focus of the photographic lens; narrowing our gaze down to small-scale specifics. The viewer experiences an awesome sense of the magnitude of the land, its depth, history and endurance, but this is revealed in a specificity of focus, rather than the dramatic, panoramic landscapes that are often associated with human awe in the face of natural beauty and magnitude.

BUYERS The Auctioneer carries on business with bidders, Buyers and all those present in the auction room prior to, or in connection with, a sale on the following General Conditions and on such other terms, conditions and notices as may be referred to herein. 1.

Bidding increments shall be at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion.
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.

(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
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.

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); (d) to remove, store and insure the lot in the case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere and to recover from you all costs incurred in respect thereof; (e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month above the current base rate on all sums outstanding for more than 7 working days after the sale; (f) to retain that or any other lot sold to you until you pay the total amount due; (g) to reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or to impose conditions before any such bids shall be accepted; (h) to apply any proceeds of sale of other lots due or which become due to you towards the settlement of the total amount due by you and to exercise a lien over any of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt due is satisfied. 11. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (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.
Lyon & Turnbull accepts no liability for any lots which may be subject to CITES but have not be identified as such.
(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, DIAMONDS & GEMSTONES (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. (3) Diamonds & Gemstones: Please note that diamonds and gemstones cannot be accurately graded and measured when mounted in jewellery. Unless it is stated in the catalogue and condition report that the item is accompanied by an independent report by a named gemmological laboratory, the information provided about the colour, clarity and size of a gemstone is the opinion of our department jewellery specialists. Please note in the event that Lyon and Turnbull has been given or has obtained certificates for any lot in the sale, Lyon and Turnbull nor the Seller accepts any liability for contradictions or differing certificates obtained by Buyers on any lots post sale. Diamonds and gemstones are not unmounted by the department, therefore any information provided in this instance is an approximate understanding of the quality of the gemstone under these limitations. Without an independent report the department are generally unable to give an opinion on any potential treatments a gem material has been subjected to. Many gemstones and diamonds have been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance and unless stated buyers should presume gemstones/diamonds have been exposed to some sort of treatment. 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
