£1,000‑2,000
Kurt Schwitters is today considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Experimenting in all mediums and artistic styles in painting, poetry, collage and sculpture, he contributed significantly to European Dadaism, Constructivism and even created his own movement called Merz. A nonsense word, Merz, referred to assemblages he made by combining found objects and materials he collected, including rubbish, into collages and large projects. Schwitters was forced to flee Germany in 1937 after his art was classed as ‘forbidden art’ and exhibited in the Nazi’s Degenerate Art Exhibition in 1935. Only a few years later, having moved to Norway, Schwitters fled again, boarding the last ship leaving Scandinavia: an icebreaker heading for Britain in 1940. Upon his arrival in Leith, he was detained as an enemy alien and interned in Edinburgh and York before being stationed on the Isle of Man. Schwitters continued to work prolifically after leaving Germany. His work moved away from abstraction in the war years, and he instead painted naturalistic portraits of his fellow inmates as gifts and means of making a living. This trend in his work continued after his release and once he settled in Ambleside, in the Lake District, in 1945. Although he continued to produce volumes of Merz assemblages, they remained ignored and poorly received by the rural community. Schwitters instead gained local recognition and commissions through his representational works of the Cumbrian landscape, still-lifes and portraits.
Schwitters attributed equal value to his traditional works as he did his abstract compositions, considering them an essential step in his creative process as, ‘no man can create from his fantasy alone. Sooner or later it will run dry on him, only by the constant study of nature will he be able to replenish it and keep it fresh.’ These representational works uncover the importance of nature in Schwitters’ works and tell of his friends and contacts in the Lake District. The portraits of the Woodcock family are a fine example of Schwitters painting portraits as tokens of friendship. Peter Woodcock, aged 11 when he sat for his portrait, recalls how Schwitters visited him while he went to school in Ambleside and took him for tea, ‘They were very poor but very happy people… Kurt was very impressive … Like a Time Lord to me, long coat and flowing hair.’ His portrait was painted during his stay in school half-term at the Rothay Hotel, Grasmere, in 1945, and his parent’s portraits painted a year later, in Blackpool. In these later portraits from 1945-6, Schwitters captures the reality of the ordinary, hardworking people of the Lake District. Observing his subjects expertly, he creates impressionistic portraits, pared back to only the necessary. His visibly thick brushstrokes, impasto and highlights of bold colour together produce a distinctive effect. Referring to himself as a ‘recording device of the highest sensitivity’, these works exhibit a warmth that is exclusive to Schwitters’ British output. All three portraits have been authenticated by The Kurt Schwitters Archive, Hanover, Germany, and feature in the artist’s catalogue raisonné.

Paolozzi began to make the quasi-cubist sculptures which were to figure among his signature works, in the 1970s. The plaster sculptures now offered for sale fit loosely into this aspect of his work, although dating from the 1990s. Paolozzi was particularly keen that plaster should achieve a higher status than had previously been the case and his works in the medium were often not cast in any other material. They were cast from a variety of sources, some being taken from the ‘ready-mades’ in his studio, while others were made to the artist’s original, sometimes existing designs. The Crocodile was among a number of small animal sculptures made specifically for the Arche Noah, (Noah’s Ark), exhibition staged in Munich in 1990. In contrast heads were a constant in Paolozzi’s work, from the 1950s onwards, and the large Cubist Head fits within a series made from the late 1980s into the 1990s. The smaller Computer Head, while less obviously totemic, is clearly a comment upon the effects of technology upon our humanity. Perhaps the most personal of the plaster works here is the Leg, which relates directly to those of Paolozzi’s sculpture Daedalus, his body constructed from fragments on a Frankenstinian model. In Greek myth, Daedalus was the builder of the Cretan labyrinth and Paolozzi seems to have seen him as a kindred spirit and probably considered the work a self-portrait. Paolozzi enjoyed a long-running association with Germany and in particular with Munich, where he also had a studio, and it was here that he developed the concept of the Tottenham Court Road Station mosaics. The mosaics were commissioned in 1979 by London Transport and are designed to link the interconnecting spaces of the station, featuring strongly on the Northern and Central line platforms. Completed in 1986, the glass mosaics cover some 950 square metres. Having suffered over the years, they were painstakingly restored in 2015 and, while 95% were retained in place, the remainder were removed and given to Edinburgh College of Art where Paolozzi was a visiting professor and where he had himself studied in the 1940s.
In his designs for the mosaics, a key example of which, the definitive flat design for the Central Line platform, is now offered for sale, Paolozzi draws on his knowledge and understanding of popular culture and iconic symbolism. Not least because the concept of their creation united his abiding interest in the culture of mechanisation and his empathy with the station’s historic context and its geographical location. Having taught at the nearby Central School of Art in the Fifties, Paolozzi had retained a broad, deep-rooted and not least affectionate understanding of the local area and its diverse communities. Tottenham Court Road sits at the epicentre of one of the most culturally diverse and historically significant areas of the capital, between Fitzrovia, Bloomsbury and Soho. These streets were the haunt of such writers as Tom Paine, Vanessa Bell, Virginia Wolf, Dylan Thomas, and George Orwell, and artists including Constable, Augustus John, Colquhoun and Macbryde, Francis Bacon (a friend of Paolozzi’s), and others too numerous to mention. Here too was the centre of London’s jazz community and its buzzing hub of Denmark Street and musicians from Britten and Bechet to Pink Floyd. Thus on the left of this work we find saxophones and musical notes. Cameras and electrical circuits mirror the technical stores of Tottenham Court Road and Fitzrovia, while stylized Egyptian and Assyrian motifs reference the nearby British Museum. A soaring butterfly or moth is an allusion to Paolozzi’s recollections of the decoration of a long-vanished Turkish Baths. At the same time, the motifs are constantly self-referential, with powerful and iconic imagery from his past work – tribal masks, spacecraft and robots. Cogs and film reels jostle with what could be pinball machines or jukeboxes in an exuberant evocation of the life of this unique locale. Using collage in a sense to mimic the painstaking method of the eventual mosaic construction, the artist summons up in a single piece of work the essential meaning of this extraordinary and vitally important commission. It is not perhaps going too far to say that it can be seen as an encapsulation of everything that made Paolozzi one of the greatest British artists of the 20th century.

Pat Douthwaite, born in Glasgow in 1934, learnt mime, movement and dance from Margaret Morris from the age of 13. During this time she also received art classes from J D Fergusson, Morris’ partner who recognised her artistic potential and encouraged her to become an artist. Practising outwith academic tuition or institutional influence, Douthwaite developed a distinctive painting style; knowingly primitive and with a unique mastery of line. Her child-like figures, inspired by her sons’ pictures, are reminiscent of Jean Dubuffet’s ‘art brut’ or outsider art. But, though she fits the description of an outsider artist, Douthwaite’s work should not be misread as naïve. From her early subjects of the dandies and grotesques of the urban landscape, her work became increasingly focused on the female experience and life’s torments. Referred to as a modern ‘peintre maudit,’ Douthwaite projected her emotions onto reimagined female characters in covert self‑portraits expressing her isolation, anxieties and frustrations. However these dark themes and subjects are juxtaposed with a vibrant palette of colours, child-like lines and often humour, successfully capturing the absurdity of the human experience.
The bright orange, green and red in the Nude in Red Stockings, 1971, are a perfect example, the joyful palette contrasting with the disturbing potential subject matter of the Charles Manson murder Trials of 1970-1. The nude figure is believed to represent one of Charles Manson’s ‘girls,’ accomplices in the murders and who, during the trial, shaved their heads and carved ‘X’ on their foreheads. Douthwaite became fascinated by these events; the unsettling beauty of the women’s insanity and extreme devotion to Manson. Following the trial attentively and collecting press clippings, she made it the subject of her Edinburgh exhibition ‘Charles Manson Trial and American Woman Bandits,’ in 1972-3. In the text accompanying the catalogue, she explains her works are all against Manson and although she is anti-violence, they are ‘not protestpictures – but entirely imaginary portraits about misdirected power.’ This beautiful yet haunting image offers an intensely personal insight into Douthwaite’s art and a rare commentary on current events.

£3,000‑5,000
Robert Kelly was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico and studied at Harvard. He has exhibited internationally since 1983, and his work is included in public and private collections worldwide, including the Whitney Museum of American Art.
There is a formal rigour, and technical precision to the work but this is softened by the artist’s subtle use of texture and colour; the layering and seeping of handmade paper fibres, and varying effects of the different viscosities of paint.
Kelly often describes his works, made using collaged paper and paint, as a ‘palimpsest.’ The word is used to describe a manuscript on which the current writings have been scribed over earlier text, which has been scrubbed out. It was originally a form of recycling, or reusing, of expensive parchment. In Kelly’s artistic practice, he creates this effect by layering up, and collaging paper elements, often collected from his extensive travels, into graphic shapes, over the top of which he applies various types of paint. Meanings and histories are shared, layered, revealed and hidden.
Kelly describes the making process as meditative, but this could describe viewing too, an overall harmony, with an underlying complexity of layers and meaning that require concentration. The title may be a reference to Vajira, a nun from the Buddhist tradition, who offers an explanation of the soul through the simile of the being as chariot, adding a further spiritual dimension to the work.

Contemporary & Post-War Art 71
John Brazenall was born in 1956 and graduated from the Edinburgh College of Art with a BA(Hons) in Sculpture in 1979. John then completed an MFA at the State University of New York in 1981 at Buffalo. He has worked as a commercial fine art bronze founder since then. From 1981 to 1990 John worked with Julian Schnabel and other collaborations include Richard Tuttle, Louise Bourgeois and George Segal. John received the 1987 RSA Young Sculptor of the Year Award and in 1992 the Ireland Alloys Award. Since returning to Scotland in 1990 John has continued to make his own artwork, has lectured at the ECA and has collaborated with other Scottish artists, mainly Ian Hamilton Finlay. The works featured in this sale represent the memories of a fascinating career working alongside some of the 20th century’s greatest artists. More than mementoes, many of these pieces are unique artworks; survivors of a casting process that often destroys the artist’s original designs.

Richard Tuttle is an important American artist, and his work is considered part of the post-minimalist tradition. He has had a long and varied career, though his works are difficult to classify. He works across a wide range of media, often in a space that could be considered between painting and sculpture, and with a particular focus on the modest and subtle. Viewers have struggled to get a grip on his art, though it has been widely championed. In 1975, following the opening of Tuttle’s exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the art critic Hilton Kramer wrote a scathing review, claiming here ‘less is unmistakeably less.’ It cost the curator Marcia Tucker her job, as she stood by her decision to stage the exhibit. She described the intention of the works; ‘to discover or explore something which is unknown in order to find out for yourself what it is about.’
Here, Maquette is presented within an artworld convention, raised on a plinth, under protective and distancing glass, which indicates to us that we are to take it seriously. It is even raised on a stepped wooden base, raising it higher as though some kind of offering, yet the sculpture’s surface is that of straightforward crumpled foil. It is designed to hold a candle, in many traditions a weighty responsibility, yet the flame has been allowed to burn down to the surface of the sculpture, the black, sooty surface recalling a forgotten flame, or hastily extinguished cigarette. Maquette is both strong and delicate, has a three-dimensional weight and presence yet seems made of simple lines, can recall basic building materials, or a powerful, destructive weapon. It is difficult to grasp fully, but encourages close looking and serious contemplation; any meanings or references are layered, subtle and ephemeral and can vary by viewer, location, mood, moment.

How did your relationship with Schnabel come about? It was around 1983/4 and I was working at the Johnston Atelier in New Jersey. Julian was one of our big contracts and I was in charge, initially, of the metalwork/fabrication of the pieces, the assembling and making the works ‘read’ as a whole. I was able to complete tasks like this at speed, which was popular with artists and their galleries and backers, and of course my company because it saved them money. I was known there as ‘The Flying Scotsman’ as a result! Can you tell me a little about what you understand to be Schnabel’s aims for his sculptural works of this period? At this point, Julian was beginning to “come off the canvas” a little bit. Moving towards sculpture was a logical extension of his plate paintings. There was a two year build up to the big Pace Gallery show. I recall $4,000,000 had been put up in casting fees by his backers… What did Schnabel’s process involve? Julian really liked coming down to the foundry and observing our end of the process. He was only a young guy then but already a big star and I think he enjoyed the waves parting for him when he came down to see us all in the foundries! Money was no object and he was playful and had great energy. He had what I’d call a ‘magpie lust’ and was really developing his visual vocabulary; finding objects in junk shops and imagining them scaled up. Julian was an avid reader of philosophy, classics, poetry; a very erudite guy, even though he tried to hide it! To work together successfully you presumably have to have compatible artistic sensibilities. What do you, as fabricator and fellow artist, feel you brought to the process? I like to think of the first time I ‘finished’ a work of his as an act of controlled vandalism – which fortunately he really liked! He wanted to find out who the gnome behind the scenes was, finishing his work in a way he liked so much. We got to know each other and became friendly. I helped him find a more painterly vocabulary in his sculpture. He’d let me have free rein to patinate his work, as my own approach and work resonated with his. The drip effect married his paintings and sculptural work, and I knew how to find and make the right kind of mark that would have this effect. It elevated the objects, making them look like found or discovered artefacts. It suited what Julian was trying to articulate in his sculpture. This was in the air at the time – I found parallels of my own work in the ‘New Primitivism’ of German artists like Georg Baselitz and Anselm Keifer. 142 JULIAN SCHNABEL (AMERICAN B.1951) JACQUELINE (TORSO)

107cm x 56cm x 20cm (42in x 22in x 8in) Provenance: The Collection of John Brazenall Note: This is one of the few examples of sculpture that the artist worked on by hand, at the Johnson Atelier, New Jersey, USA. A small edition of six bronze casts were taken, and sold at an exhibition at Pace Gallery, New York in 1990: ‘Julian Schnabel: Sculpture 1987–1990’, The Pace Gallery, 142 Greene Street, New York, May 1–June 29, 1990. (Catalogue; text by Rene Ricard)
Do you find the relationship between artist and fabricator an easy one, or inherently challenging? No, it really wasn’t challenging in this case. He gave me a lot of artistic freedom to finish his work, which in turn afforded him the luxury of not having to be present in the foundry all the time. I kind of view myself as a “surrogate parent” of the work. I had to be satisfied with how it looked, was cast, patinated. It had to look alive and I didn’t like it to show too much process. This was a shared ideal and why our relationship worked so well. The way I looked at it, Julian was the composer and conductor of the orchestra, and I was a solo-ist who was brought in to make my unique contribution, which helped make up the work as a whole.

As an artist yourself, do you feel that your time with Schnabel influenced your work in any way? Oh yes. Seeing the way Julian edited things; it was almost like he had a template – did an addition give a work more power or diminish it? And he liked my work; he thought I was a good painter. Working on his sculptures allowed me to explore this side of my practise and directly pushed it forward. He allowed me to step into his world. We were developing in tandem really – me as a painter and him as a sculptor. Perhaps that’s why the relationship worked so well and the work was so satisfactory. I saw that time as collaborative in the truest sense of the word though, knowing him, I’m sure he would never use that word! The works here are among the only examples on which Schnabel worked directly by hand. What can you tell us about the specific meaning behind these pieces? I would say that this work depicts his first wife, Jacqueline Beaurang. He was signing the initials ‘JB’ on a number of sculptures and paintings from this period. Being so well versed in ancient history and classical art and so on, I think the notion of making a bust of someone important in his life was a logical thing to do. That’s certainly what I see in it – something more Cycladic. It’s not neo-classical, it’s more primitive. This might be controversial to say but I also think there was a gentle touching on or examination of misogynistic thoughts involved in some of his motifs – the detachable, ‘decapitated’ nature of the figure’s head in this particular work.. the blanked out eyes in his Blind Girl Surf Club series (which incidentally probably relates to a very emotional, angry, drawing I made during my divorce around the same time. He liked it so much he kept hold of it.) How was the exhibition at Pace Gallery, NYC received at the time? Well! He had a bit of a nemesis in the journalist Roberta Smith at the time, but even she gave it a fairly rave review. She particularly enjoyed the sculptures’ “painterly passages” which, as you can imagine, was nice for me to hear! Each work was cast six times and I believe most if not all sold. He was big news. The majority of his sculptural works remain tucked away in private hands and are scarce to market. What do you think marks these maquettes out as being of special interest to collectors? Well that’s easy – they are totally unique. They’re as unique as brushstrokes on a canvas. His finger marks are still there in the plasticine – and throughout the casting process they’ve been handled with sufficient skill as to retain the artist’s mark making. It’s rare too. He was a pragmatist about things being destroyed by way of achieving the fully cast product. I think he’d find these fascinating himself – survivors. And they’re just great objects; a great motif of his: the heroine; Jaqueline. As a motif this image manifested as a lot of things in his work. Do you have an opinion on what it is about Schnabel’s work that makes him the success that he is? He has an extraordinary touch – he is a wonderful draughtsman and painter. Under all the sensationalism! And few can work on the scale he can and retain the kind of fluency he does. He just has an all-round tremendous artistic sensibility and exquisite taste. In many ways he paved the way for the likes of Koons and Basquiat. Oh, and he throws a good party!

114cm x 173cm (41in x 68in) Provenance: The Collection of John Brazenall
£800‑1,200
Note: Extracted from the artist’s obituary in the Scotsman: ”Archie’s style of working was influenced by the Munich Seven, a group of German expressionist painters who were also German punks around 1979. Punk was a huge influence at every level, and Archie always said the most important night of his life was 7 May, 1977, when, aged 14, he saw the Clash on their White Riot tour. Archie’s paintings are mainly figurative, with a bold use of thickly applied oil paint. Many, with subject matter of cars, animals and art history, had an overt social or political comment, while other paintings were more escapist or fantastical. Archie’s shows were always an event whether he was exhibiting in Edinburgh, London or Glasgow, and he received critical acclaim for his sculptures as well as his painting. His work was often humorous and irreverent, poking fun at the establishment. It was always full of life and humanity. Archie followed a path that was totally his own. He was always ahead of his time as a student, and works from early student days fit absolutely into his later work. Other late works of note include Warriston Crematorium and a large blue composition of Brighton Pier. These paintings add to a vast body of work that has yet to be properly assessed.”

Terry Frost was one of a major group of British artists who made their name in the late 1950s and early 1960s, creating a unique variety of home-grown abstraction. His paintings evolved to exude colour and light and to communicate the sheer pleasure of existence, what he himself described as ‘a state of delight in front of nature’. It was hardly surprising that this should have been so. Frost was simply happy to be alive. Taken prisoner on Crete during World War he discovered his ability to paint while in a German POW camp, encouraged by fellow prisoner, the painter Adrian Heath. After the war he enrolled at Camberwell but, uninspired by the hard-line regime of William Coldstream, dropped out on the suggestion of Victor Pasmore and moved to St Ives in Cornwall where a colony of artists was forming around Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth, for whom he worked for a short time as an assistant. Although he began as a figurative painter, Frost gradually moved towards abstraction, inspired in particular by the Tate’s seminal 1956 exhibition of post war American Abstract Expressionism. During the 1950s, alongside Patrick Heron, Bryan Wynter and Roger Hilton, Frost established himself in Cornwall, displaying the influence of such artists as Robert Motherwell with his use of truncated geometric abstract forms. Like Alan Davie he also began to develop a language of symbols: using chevrons, crescents, lozenges, triangles and in particular spirals, to great effect. By the early 1970s Frost had created his signature style, experimenting with complimentary colours and powerful abstract forms. Having taught extensively in the north of England, his work being influenced by the barrenness of the landscape, Frost returned with his family to the south and from 1974 lived at Newlyn. He continued however to travel extensively, in particular around the Mediterranean, whose bright sunlight and bold colours were a strong influence on his later work. Combining this with his consistent and well-defined language of symbol and form, Frost built a highly personal and unmistakeable style of abstraction which was at once hugely exuberant and celebratory. The painting on offer here, created between 1986 and 1990 is a classic example of his mature work, and the culmination of a lifetime’s understanding of the visual and psychological impact of pure abstraction.

One of the most infamous artists of the generation of ‘Brit art’ artists, christened YBAs, who emerged onto the London art scene in the early 1990s, Tracey Emin, best known for her ‘tent’ and ‘bed’, has gone on to become a leading figure in the British art establishment. In August 2006, Emin was selected as Britain’s representative in the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale for 2007. The first major retrospective of her work was held at the Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh in August 2008 and included My Bed and a monumental, room-sized installation entitled Exorcism of the Last Painting I Ever Made dating from 1996. It also featured her appliquéd blankets, paintings, sculptures, films, neon works, drawings and multiples, and travelled to the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo in Malaga and
the Kunstmuseum in Bern. In December 2011 Emin was appointed Professor of Drawing at the Royal Academy; drawing has always played a major part in her practice. Fabric, particularly in the form of appliqué, has been a constant feature of her art. For her, the material itself retains an emotional significance related to its original function and history. The work on offer here unites these two key aspects of Emin’s oeuvre. It is closely related to a limited edition of 200 appliqué pieces entitled International Woman produced by the artist in 2004, but differs in that it is a unique piece. Also, instead of the Longchamp logo it carries a delicately executed drawing of a bird in red crayon along with the artist’s signature. The bird motif appears close to those prevalent in Emin’s celebrated pen and ink drawings, dating from 1999. The work is also similar in style to a piece entitled An Angel for my Daughter, a unique patchwork work which was made in 2004 and sold at auction in 2006.

Phyllida Barlow has had a long and productive career, following her studies at Chelsea College of Art and the Slade School of Fine Art in the 1960s. She continued to make and exhibit artwork alongside raising a family, and a teaching career that saw her become Professor of Fine Art and Director of Undergraduate studies at the Slade. During this time she rarely sold work, and many of her creations no longer exist as she regularly recycled works for materials, or simply left them at the exhibition site. She rose to public prominence and more commercial success after her exhibition at Serpentine in 2010, after which she gained representation from Hauser & Wirth. Barlow became a Royal Academician in 2011, was awarded a CBE in 2015 and created a high-profile installation for the Duveen Galleries at Tate Britain, DOCK, in 2014. She is currently exhibiting in the British Pavilion at Venice Biennale.
In this work, Barlow takes the recognisable structure of a folding chair, with a flat base and back, and reconfigures it. By keeping the chair’s structure between open and shut, usable and stored, it becomes precarious; we are aware we would tumble over if we tried to use it for its intended purpose and it becomes unclear whether it is in the process of opening or closing, folding or unfolding. This is common in Barlow’s work, where she often creates installation’s that expand into a space or room, ultimately redefining it. She does so using cheap, builder’s materials such as plywood and cement, rather than the hallowed sculptor’s bronze or marble. In Individual Chair, the simple structure has added texture, through the rough edges of the wood, and areas of hastily applied cement, while the very application of the paint draws attention to its materiality, offering a visceral sense of the process of making; it drips, gloops and congeals, and continues to look as though it would be tacky to touch, as if the artist has only just finished making it in her studio.

£18,000‑25,000
“Paintings are there to be experienced, they are events. They are also to be meditated on and to be enjoyed by the senses; to be felt through the eye.” John Hoyland is one of Britain’s leading abstract painters, and was dedicated to a non-figurative approach over a career spanning six decades. American Abstract Expression was a key influence in the 1950s and 60s, and by the close of his art-school training in 1960 he was converted enough to hang an entire show of abstract paintings. They were removed by order of the President of the Royal Academy, and he had to be awarded his diploma on the basis of his previous, figurative work instead. But Hoyland had found his approach, feeling that non-figurative imagery had ‘the potential for the most advanced depth of feeling and meaning.’
Hoyland had his first museum exhibition at the Whitechapel in 1967, and the Serpentine staged a key retrospective in 1979-80. He was elected a Royal Academician in 1991, and following his death, Damien Hirst opened his Newport Gallery with an exhibition of his work, citing him as a key influence and artistic hero. Despite his long-standing commitment to non-figurative painting, Hoyland’s approach does develop and change over the course of his career, moving towards a more spontaneous, free-form approach. In the offered work, he has focussed on a composition of simple shapes, circles within circles, and a straightforward triangle, but there is a vitality to the application, and almost a tension to the composition – the shapes are only just fitting together in harmony, and he has begun to paint with more richness and freedom. Colour is always a powerful force in his work, and his paintings maintain a powerful energy, the intensity only increased by their large-scale.

Signed and inscribed ‘Per Josef Maria “Pocholo”... un fort abrac’, and dated 13/XI ‘73, ballpoint pen
24cm x 19cm (9.5in x 7.5in) Note: This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from ADOM, the official body for the authentication of work by Miro. This work depicts the Tió de Nadal, a character in Catalonian mythology associated with Christmas time; a ‘Christmas Log’ who sits in the fireplace. Beginning with the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (December 8), one gives the tió a little bit to “eat” every night and usually covers him with a blanket so that he will not be cold. The story goes that in the days preceding Christmas, children must take good care of the log, keeping it warm and feeding it, so that it will ‘defecate’ presents on Christmas Day. To make it defecate, one beats the tió with sticks, while singing various songs of Tió de Nadal. Miro created this work as a humorous Christmas card to his friend who bears the nickname ‘Pocholo’, a colloquialism meaning ‘nice’ or ‘cute’. He signs off the card offering ‘un fort abrac’, or ‘a big hug’.

We shall be entitled to charge you for storage costs, charges shall be made at a reasonable daily rate;or (b) suggest that the item be transferred to a secondary saleroom for sale without reserve.

RECISSION OF SALES Lyon & Turnbull may rescind the sale where it reasonably believes that the lot falls within the terms as defined by Lyon & Turnbull’s Authenticity Guarantee (see Buyer’s conditions), in this event Lyon & Turnbull shall send the Seller notice of such rescission. The Seller agrees to return to Lyon & Turnbull the Net Sale Proceeds received from the sale of such lot with any additional expenses incurred by Lyon & Turnbull. Lyon & Turnbull will return the property to the Seller upon receipt of the Net Sale Proceeds and Expenses, unless prevented in doing so by reasons outwith Lyon & Turnbull’s control. 17. AGENCY Lyon & Turnbull acts as agent solely for and in the interests of the Seller. We do not act for Buyers in this

The Auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by Sellers or Buyers. 18. DATA PROTECTION In connection with the management and operation of our business and the marketing and supply of Lyon & Turnbull’s services, or as required by law, we may ask the Seller to provide personal information about themselves or obtain information about the Seller from third parties (e.g. credit information). Lyon & Turnbull will not give out personal information except as may be required by law. If you would like further information on Lyon & Turnbull policies on personal data, or to make corrections to your information, please contact us on +44 (0)131 557 8844. 19.

Conditions of sale for 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. DEFINITIONS In these Conditions of Sale (Buyers): “Auctioneer” means Lyon & Turnbull Ltd (Registered in Scotland No: 191166 | Registered address: 33 Broughton Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3RR) or its authorised auctioneer, as appropriate; “Hammer price” means the level of bidding reached (at or above any reserve) when the Auctioneer brings down the hammer; “Lot” means each Item offered for sale by Lyon & Turnbull; “Purchase Price” is the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer’s Premium; “Reserve” means the lowest price below which an item cannot be sold; “Total amount due” means the hammer price in respect of the lot sold together with any premium, Value Added Tax or other taxes chargeable and any additional charges payable by a defaulting Buyer under these Conditions; “You”, “Your” means the Buyer “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon & Turnbull Ltd The singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. 2. 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) High Value Lots and High Cumulative Value of Lots: If you wish to bid on any High Value Lot (a lot with a lower estimate of £30,000 or above) or if you are bidding on several lots with a total lower estimate value of £30,000 or above, you are invited to complete the High Value Lot pre-registration. After you have successfully registered as a bidder with Lyon and Turnbull, you should complete the High Value Lot pre-registration before the date of sale by contacting the Office Manager or on the date of sale at the registration area. Unless otherwise agreed by us, you will be permitted to bid for High Value Lots only if Lyon and Turnbull has confirmed your payment of deposit and your completion of the High Value Lot preregistration before the sale. The Deposit required will be 10% of the lower estimate. Upon pre-registration, you should pay the deposit or such other sum as determined by Lyon and Turnbull dependant on circumstances, by way of bank transfer or credit card(s) acceptable to Lyon and Turnbull. Please note that Lyon and Turnbull does not accept payment from third parties and this also applies to agents. If you are not successful in any bid and do not owe Lyon and Turnbull any debt, the deposit will be refunded to you by way of wire transfer or such other methods as
determined by Lyon and Turnbull. Please make sure that you provide your bank details in the pre-registration form. The exchange rate provided to us by the bank on the date of exchange is final. We will arrange to refund the deposit to you within seven days after the date of sale, however we do not guarantee when you will receive the payment due to the variance in time for banks to process fund transfers. Upon successful pre-registration, you will be given a numbered High Value Lot paddle for identification purposes. The auctioneer will usually only accept bids made with the High Value Lot paddle or by its High Value Lot registered bidder. This applies to saleroom, telephone and absentee bids. Lyon and Turnbull has the right to change the High Value Lot pre-registration procedures and requirements from time to time without notice. (c) 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. (d) Once made, no bid may be withdrawn. (e) Our right to bid on behalf of Sellers is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve. (f) The right to refuse any bid is also reserved. (g) 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. (h) 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% of the hammer price of each lot up to and including £100,000, plus 20% from £100,001 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. (b) Please note there is a surcharge of 2% when using credit cards. (c) Please note that we do not accept cash payments over £5,000. (2) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing by you to us howsoever incurred and without agreement by you or your agent, whether express or implied. 9. TITLE AND COLLECTION OF PURCHASES (1) The ownership of any lots purchased shall not pass to you until you have made payment in full to us of the total amount due. (2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than 7 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment whichever is later. We can provide you with a list of shippers. However, we will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers whether or not recommended by us. (3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for. (4) It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main sale room and the potential storage charges
for lots not collected by the appropriate time. (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). (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. (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 safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). 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 may be 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.

17. AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE Lyon & Turnbull guarantees that the authorship, period, or origin (collectively, “Authorship”) of each lot in this catalogue is as stated in the BOLD or CAPITALISED type heading in the catalogue description of the lot, as amended by oral or written salesroom notes or announcements. Lyon & Turnbull makes no warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to any material in the catalogue other than that appearing in the Bold or Capitalised heading and subject to the exclusions below. In the event Lyon &Turnbull in its reasonable opinion deems that the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall refund to the original purchaser of the lot the hammer price and applicable Buyer’s Premium paid for the lot by the original purchaser. This Guarantee does not apply if: (i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the opinion(s) of generally accepted scholar(s) and expert(s) at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or (ii) the only method of establishing that the Authorship was not as described in the Bold or Capitalised heading at the date of the sale would have been by means or processes not then generally available or accepted; unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely (in Lyon &Turnbull’s reasonable opinion) to have caused damage to the lot or likely to have caused loss of value to the lot; or (iii) there has been no material loss in value of the lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description in the Bold or Capitalised type heading. This Guarantee is provided for a period of one year from the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of the lot at the auction and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Authenticity Guarantee, the original purchaser of the lot must: (i) notify Lyon & Turnbull in writing within one month of receiving any information that causes the original purchaser of record to dispute the accuracy of the Bold or Capitalised type heading, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons for such dispute; and (ii) return the Lot to Lyon & Turnbull’s registered office in the same condition as at the date of sale to the original purchaser of record and be able to transfer good title to the Lot, free from any third party claims arising after the date of such sale. Lyon & Turnbull has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. Lyon & Turnbull may require the original purchaser of the lot to obtain, at the original purchaser of lot’s cost, the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field. The reports must be mutually acceptable to Lyon & Turnbull and the original purchaser of the lot. Lyon & Turnbull shall not be bound by any reports produced by the original purchaser of the lot, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid (the successful hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law. Lyon & Turnbull and the Seller shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed, including without limitation, loss of profits or interest. 18.
