JAMES CUMMING Born in Dunfermline, James Cumming was a Scottish artist, and influential lecturer known for his highly intellectual and expressive paintings. At school Cumming was taught by George Watson where he showed an early promise in art. Determined to become a painter, Cumming won the Andrew Grant Scholarship to attend the Edinburgh College of Art between 1939-1947. His studies were interrupted by the Second World War and in 1941 he joined the RAF, serving in India and Burma. Following the war Cumming returned to the ECA, completing his Diploma and then postgraduate degree in 1949. He was awarded a travelling Scholarship to Callanish on the Isle of Lewis, during which he was inspired to paint his series of Hebridean paintings. Cumming was also associated with the Edinburgh School of painters which included Sir Robin Philipson and William Gillies.

distinctive ‘painterly’ yet thinly applied textures set him apart from the heavy impasto of his contémporaries. His abstract paintings were inspired by the origins of life, symbols and microbiology, his art has been described as ‘part- archaeological, part- sociologically-scientific’. Throughout his career he worked with a restricted colour palette, drawing his visual language from scientific research and investigations into recent discoveries with electronic microscope. Between 1950 and 1982 Cumming lectured at the Edinburgh College of Art during the time when John Bellany and Richard Wright were students. He is remembered as an ambitious artist who strove to create an original and distinct vision. His life and work are frequently celebrated, with the most recent exhibitions being held at the Scottish Gallery and the Talbot Rice Gallery in Edinburgh.

BET LOW Lyon & Turnbull are pleased to present for sale the studio conténts of Bet Low. Sold now on behalf of The Bet Low Trust, a registered Scottish charity set up by the artist in 1994 and continued, since her death, by a committee. The Trust awards scholarships to students or practising artists in Scotland in the fields of drawing or painting. These fascinating works from her studio tell a story of two of Scotland’s distinct faces; from the streets of post-industrial Glasgow, to the cliff edge of our farthest flung isles. These works also reveal to us the dual preoccupations that drove her as an artist; from her politicised roots and deep engagement in the artistic community, to her meditative, almost spiritual connection to the Scottish landscape. The City: Low was born in 1924 in Gourock, a town at the mouth of the River Clyde. In 1942, she enrolled at the Glasgow School of Art. Here, whilst training under teachers like David Donaldson and Benno Schotz, she befriended contémporaries including Joan Eardley and Ian Hamilton Finlay, as well as influential émigré artists Josef Herman and Jankel Adler, whose studio she eventually took on. Like Eardley, Low followed up her diploma with a formative residency under James Cowie at Hospitalfields, Arbroath. Also in common with these peers, Low possessed a single-minded focus towards her art practise that meant she only briefly entertained the idea, as many artists do, of becoming an art teacher. Instead she resolutely pursued an independent artistic career, starting by immersing herself in the creative community of Glasgow’s Unity Theatre. Here she painted and designed sets, illustrated periodicals and depicted the theatre’s characterful members of cast and crew, some of whom are featured in the portraiture shown here. The theatre shared the same building at the Refugee Centre, which proved influential on Low’s developing socialist ideologies. Though quite literally freezing in the proverbial bohemian garret during this time, the single-minded Low was in her element. Over these formative years, Low fostered an enduring love of philosophy, politics and progressive discussion. In 1946 she joined the Clyde Group of Writers and Artists, whose manifesto sought to bring art and poetry to the masses, via a proactive series of exhibitions and events. It was during this period that Low produced the bold, expressionistic ink drawings and linocuts of a Glasgow that has since disappeared. They remain remarkable snapshots of social history; depicting markets, street protesters and sooty tenement backcourts. Later, the ever industrious Low set up The New Charing Cross Gallery in the early 1960s with fellow artist John Taylor. They invited art lover
and collector Cyril Gerber to its board, who of course went on to found the Compass Gallery which carried on their good work, and continued to promote Low and her peers. Both galleries had finally provided a much needed platform for the city’s more progressive artists. The 1960s also coincided with serious exploration into the field of abstraction. These works - sometimes monochromatic and later moving into tonal experimentation - convey a sense of movement, be they natural forces; perhaps water or air, or metaphysical; like the pulse of a music wave. The Country: Low is best known for her atmospheric depictions of the Scottish landscape. She was especially interested in capturing and conveying the play of light as it traverses landforms and bodies of water. Above all, these works convey the transience of experience; evoking the sensation of a breeze on the face, a mizzle of mist on the skin, the sense of wonder felt when the light slants through a cloud ‘just so’, creating an effect so simply stunning it bonds itself to our memory. Much of her best work in this area was painted in Orkney. While there, she became the friend of the poet George Mackay Brown, their connection unsurprising given the sense of the poetic that permeates her own work. Together they collaborated on ‘poem paintings’, celebrating the beauty of the Orcadian landscape. Though critically regarded, loved by the canniest collectors of Scottish art, and increasingly on the radar of the next young generation of artists, Bet Low remains something of a well-kept secret; her market as yet failing to reflect her standing in the story of Scottish art. This is beginning to change, with prices notably and deservedly beginning to spike upwards in the last couple of years. This sale represents the opportunity to invest in both classic examples of her mature style and scarcer, early material from her atelier which positions her in the heart of an exciting period in Glasgow’s artistic history. A last word from her friend and supporter, the critic Cordelia Oliver: “It still seems to me that few other painters in Scotland have been able to pursue a line of visual thought so purposefully and relentlessly without tedious repetition”. An apt description which, curiously, can’t help but put one in mind of some of Low’s more celebrated contémporaries, Eardley and Hamilton Finlay.

CHRISTOPHER WOOD Christopher Wood is one of the best loved artists of the Modern British period and remains highly sought after by collectors. His artistic output was small but influential, and his dramatic life story, culminating in his tragic early death in 1930, engendered a personality cult which continues to enthrall historians and collectors to this day. Born in Knowsley, Liverpool, Wood moved to Paris after briefly studying architecture. In 1921 he attended the Académie Julian, a school which produced many successful artists and was as effective at stimulating networks as it was at nurturing artistic talent. The handsome young Wood, whose artwork was becoming admired for its charming naivety, excelled in both of these areas. He quickly gained the attention and patronage of Chilean diplomat Antonio de Gandarillas. Gandarillas provided crucial financial support, and introduced Wood to Picasso and Jean Cocteau, though also to the use of opium, which was to play a tragic role in his later life. It was in the mid-1920s, however, that Wood truly began to make his mark. Man With Cards dates from c.1925, a year considered pivotal to his transition into a “serious” artist. It is likely to have been painted while in France, possibly Paris. It could be posited that this work contains an early appearance of what was to become a classic trope for Wood: the fisherman. Traditionally associated with boundlessness, escapism and freedom from society’s rules, some have interpreted Wood’s fishermen as a covert reference to his homosexuality; Wood was openly bi-sexual and indeed was cohabiting with Gandarillas at this time. Whether a fisherman or some other form of fringe figure, the sitter seems lost in a reverie, playing with (Wood’s own) pack of cards. This is one of the earliest known appearances of playing cards in his work. This became another important part of his visual lexicon; evocative of Fate and life’s unpredictability. His cards are now housed in Tate’s collection. Wood began his first serious heterosexual love affair the year this work was painted, and the presence of two somewhat surreal female figures in the top right of the composition perhaps allude to this development in his life. His work often contains a sense of the uncanny or a barely perceptible undercurrent of tension, and these strangely-hued figures peering into the frame appear almost as if figments of the sitter’s imagination. Many art historians perceive evidence of the more hallucinatory and visionary aspects of Wood’s opium addiction at work in such elements, and it is certainly true to say that Wood became increasingly keen on weaving his work with elements of fantasy and memory. The late 1920s saw Wood continue to establish himself - especially in London - exhibiting as a member of the London Group in 1926 and the Seven and Five Society between 1926-30. Through this he forged an important friendship with Ben and Winifred Nicholson, exhibiting with the couple at the Beaux Arts Gallery in 1927. Both artists had a considerable impact on Wood’s art, and his mature artistic style was ultimately cemented during a trip with Ben Nicholson to St Ives. Here, the pair met a local artist called
Alfred Wallis. The freeness and gentle naivety of Wallis’ self-taught ‘primitive’ approach was the final piece in the eclectic puzzle of Wood’s own visual language. The modernism absorbed during his Parisian years, the romanticism of the English artistic tradition to which he was both drawn and simultaneously sought to circumvent, and the child-like quality of the work of ‘Outsider’ figures like Alfred Wallis combined to set his work apart from his peers. As such, Wood’s art is considered to represent an important and unique ‘bridge’ between England and the Continent at that time – subsumed by neither one style nor the other. Wood died prematurely and tragically; throwing himself under a train in 1930 at the age of 29, presumed to be struggling with opium withdrawal symptoms. His career was cut short; capping the number of artworks produced and increasing the scarcity and demand to this day. A well-known figure in art circles of the time, his legacy was cemented and his influence on the next generation has been well-noted. In 1938 his paintings were included in the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. In the same year a major exhibition was organised by the Redfern Gallery at the New Burlington Galleries, which attempted to re-unite Wood’s complete works, and is said to have provided key inspiration to the Neo-Romanticist movement including Paul Nash, John Minton and John Craxton. Man with Cards is listed as number 125 in Eric Newton’s 1936 catalogue raisonné of the artist, and, along with the rest of his estate, was taken into the care of the Redfern Gallery from 1938. It was purchased from the gallery in 1956, and has remained in the same family’s private collection since. It will appear in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné by Robert Upstone, who Lyon & Turnbull would like to thank for his kind assistance in cataloguing this lot.

(BRITISH 1922-2009) PAINTED HARPSICHORD, DATED 1976 Oil on harpsichord case, signed and dated ‘76 on the inside lid 230cm long, 91cm high, 90cm wide Note: This instrument was manufactured by John Barnes of Edinburgh for the Hope Scott Trust in 1976/7. In 1973 the Trust were approached by the Scottish Baroque Ensemble for help to fund the purchase of a new harpsichord to which they agreed. Mr Barnes was commissioned to build two manual instruments in the style of Joannes Ruckers as adapted by French makers in the 1730s. At a trustees meeting in July 1974 it was decided to ask four artists if they would be interested in decorating the case. The artists were Alexander Zyw, James Morrison, John Craxton and Barbara Balmer. Having considered the submitted designs the trustees chose Craxton to decorate the case. Both case and instrument were completed by August 1977 and the instrument was given on permanent loan to the Scottish Baroque Ensemble for its first performance at the Signet Library in Edinburgh in November 1977, to great acclaim. The instrument is no longer suitable for professional use, however the case by John Craxton remains in excellent condition.

THE OUTSIDER ART COLLECTION OF DR. A. C. DALZELL: Beginning & Ending of an Era ‘Outsider Art’ is defined as the production of art and imagery by individuals practising outwith cultural and societal norms. It originates from the research of mentally ill inpatients by psychiatrists in the early 20th century, the art of whom influenced contemporary figures such as Jean Dubuffet and Andre Breton. Dubuffet characterised the output as ‘Art Brut’ (or, ‘Raw Art’), becoming greatly impressed by what he regarded as the purity of their creativity. Their work was produced without training, indeed without awareness of itself as art at all, the result being what Dubuffet saw as a wholly unfettered directness; completely lacking in inhibition and undistorted by cultural bias. Now an avidly collected field with its own dedicated art fair held annually in New York and Paris, the remit of ‘Outsider Art’ has expanded to include any untrained figure producing work on society’s margins, through disability or eccentricity, for example. The collection Lyon & Turnbull will offer in April represents a rare body of examples dating from that earliest definition of the genre. Dr. Alec C. Dalzell 1905-1990, painter and psychiatrist, was appointed Medical Superintendent of Friern Hospital in 1945. Already the Surrealist Exhibition of 1936 had strongly influenced his ideas about the root source of art, and fuelled his interest in the links between creativity and mental illness, the boundary between illness and art. He had also been influenced by Hans Prinzhorn’s book, The Artistry of the Mentally Ill (1922), and several of the styles represented in his collection have a family resemblance to the ‘schizophrenic masters’ illustrated in Prinzhorn’s work. By 1945 there were a large number of displaced, war-traumatised persons in Friern Hospital including many Jews and others from Eastern Europe, Poland and the Ukraine. Images from this group appear to have particularly interested Dalzell; for example the biographical carpet-picture by ‘Prof. Erkhoff’, or another patient’s extensive text and graphic diary of Hospital life made by using blue crayon on toilet paper.
The collected images are highly individual, full of precision and intent. Dr. Dalzell believed that meaningful activity for patients was therapeutic. His collection was shown to staff and students within the hospital a number of times. Perhaps because these works interested him more as a painter than as a doctor, they do not appear to have been collected to illustrate particular pathologies. The comments attached to the corners of some of the work refer only to the mood of a patient while making the work. By the 1960’s sedation (by chlorpromazine for example) had become an accepted way to control patients. Heavily sedated patients were no longer able to produce work characterised by the kind of impulsive energy, or intricate hypnotic detail that prompted Dalzell to make his collection. Indeed, the art room activity variety of Occupational Therapy which he had encouraged became known as ‘diversionism’. Of his collection of censored written work, letters and journals collected from various hospitals in South London beginning in the 1930’s, Dalzell said that, as with the visual pieces, it had been the artistry of the writers that had interested him. He recalled a moment when reading a stream-of-consciousness novel given to him by one of the Bloomsbury Group and thinking: ‘my patients can do that’. After the 1960’s, Friern Hospital was slowly wound down. In 1993 the old asylum was converted into luxury flats and renamed Princess Park Manor. This unique collection comes to market directly via Dr Dalzell’s descendants.

Paul Neagu (right) with fellow Romanian Avant-garde artist Horia Bernea at Glencoe, Scottish Highlands.
PAUL NEAGU ‘…the eye is fatigued, perverted, shallow, its culture is degenerate, degraded and obsolete, seduced by photography, film, television, . . . (art has to) give up its purely visual aesthetic if it wants to survive. . . you can take things in better, more completely, with your ten fingers, pores and mucous membranes than with only two eyes…’ Paul Neagu’s 1969 Palpable Art Manifesto! Philosophical to the core, and yet interested in his father’s trade of cobbling and the Romanian tradition of wood-working, we can see some of these wide-ranging influences come together in the offered selection of Paul Neagu’s art. Working across mediums from performance, print-making, painting, sculpture and mixed media, his philosophical views and thoughts on art can always be traced and identified. As his manifesto shows, Neagu strongly believed that there was a tyranny of the visual in fine art, and he rebelled against this by allowing viewers to touch his works, drawing them in to an immersive experience of his art, requiring and encouraging them to use their other senses. Neagu was already starting to gain recognition in his home country of Romania, when a chance meeting with Richard Demarco afforded him the opportunity to exhibit in Edinburgh, as part of the Festival in 1969. He had already been working on creating objects he termed ‘tactile’ and ‘palpable’ in Bucharest, that fit with the arguments and ideas later put forth in the manifesto. In the Edinburgh exhibition, he suspended his constructed objects from the ceiling, in an unlit room with walls painted black – to experience the artworks, visitors had to move through the space and sense of the objects by touch. Following this exhibition, he moved to London in 1970, where he was to remain based for the rest of his life. Cuant Dublu pre-dates his official creation of ‘tactile’ or ‘palpable’ objects, as it was made in 1967, but it very much fits in with his ethos, and Neagu’s specific preoccupations of these following years, being an object that requires to be handled to be experienced. The wooden box frame has to be opened to reveal the textural inner circles which are, at once reminiscent of machinery, medals, geological formations and cosmic moonscapes. The rugged finish of both the interior and exterior of this object announce it as a hand-made item, crafted by the artist’s hands to ultimately be experienced by the viewers’. The theme of the hand, as source of both creation/creativity and touch is
explored more explicitly in the 1970 wood and gesso construction, The Hand. By taking the hand as his subject matter, Neagu adds more layers to the tactile nature of this construction, drawing the viewer from the visual to the tactile through to the philosophical. From the smooth wood to the rigid, even texture of the grid, the viewer is drawn to experience both the visual and tactile nature of the object, while also contémplating the meaning of the hand, the hand that makes and experiences in this moment, but in a wider sense the practicality, complexity and miracle of these tools we have at our constant disposal. Exploration of The Hand also moves us towards Neagu’s preoccupation with cells and compartmentalisation, through his use here of a grid format to depict a part of the human body. Neagu used cell and grid structures as a visual nod to his understanding of our compartmentalising of information, and also to our simultaneous connected and disconnectedness, in the different parts of our own body, but also in the world around us, we are at once distinct and interconnected, at all levels. We can see this in The Hand, but it is also a recurrent theme in his printmaking, such as the offered artist’s proof of 1972 etching Human and the two unsigned MAN MADE MAN lithographs, in both, the human form seems to evolve out of the grid, be made of cellular blocks and still be a complete, unified whole. Neagu had his first U.K. museum show at the Museum of Modern Art, Oxford in 1975, just five years after arriving in London. This was followed by further major shows in London at the ICA in 1979, and the Serpentine Gallery in 1987. Also in 1987, he was awarded a major public art commission, to be located at London’s Charing Cross Station, which was sadly never built, though he did later develop two public sculptures for locations in Romania. His work features in many public collections, most notably the British Museum, Tate, the V & A and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. Neagu taught throughout his career, lecturing at the Hornsey, the Slade and Chelsea, ultimately becoming Associate Professor at the Royal College of Art in 1976. His teaching and ethos was highly influential on students including Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor, Rachel Whiteread, Tony Cragg and Richard Deacon.

RUVUMA DEVELOPMENT AID TANZANIA Lyon & Turnbull are delighted to handle the sale of the next group of paintings on behalf of Ruvuma Development Aid Tanzania. The charity, made up entirely of volunteers, fund-raises for the Ntimbanjayo Memorial School in the Ruvuma Region of Tanzania. Purchasing land at Namanditi back in 2007, Ruvuma Development Aid have been building a Nursery and Primary school over the years, as and when funds allowed. The school opened in 2011, with eight classrooms, a double dormitory, an admin block, library, hall and kitchen area. There are now 200 children at the school of whom 53 are orphans or from the poorest backgrounds. These students are being sponsored.
This year the charity hope to raise enough funds to build the first of four classrooms for a Secondary school on the same site. The standard 7 class which has 18 sponsored children, will progress to secondary education in January 2019, so the aim is to have one classroom complete by the end of this year. Each classroom will cost £10,350 with a further £2,500 required for desks and text books.

JENNIFER MCRAE Jennifer McRae is a contemporary painter best known for her distinctive portraits. Born in 1959, McRae studied painting at Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen from 1987-1992, where she received a First Class degree in Fine Art. After completing her studies she moved to Edinburgh and joined the Printmaker’s Workshops in which she continued to develop her skills. In 2002 she was awarded a bursary placement at the Prince’s Drawing School in London.
McRae’s talent lies in her ability of capturing the individuality and mood of each sitter, and her acute attention to detail. Her distinct style continues to be widely recognised and greatly admired. As a result, she has been commissioned to paint a number of well-known figures including Judi Dench, Michael Frayn and Sir Chris Hoy. As well as receiving numerous awards, including the BP Portrait Award, McRae’s work can be found in several public and private collections including the National Portrait Gallery, and the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

ALAN DAVIE Few British artists of the 20th century are quite as intriguing as Alan Davie. Low key and independent, Davie operated outwith the art world ‘scene’ until his death in 2014 which means that, despite his popularity amongst critics and collectors, he isn’t the household name he perhaps deserves to be. Born in Grangemouth, Scotland in 1920, Davie studied at the Edinburgh College of Art, developing a fascination with Continental artists including Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. The quintessential polymath, his artistry encompassed jewellery-making, poetry and, most significantly of all, jazz music. He was an extremely talented musician and constantly sought to find ways to break down the boundaries of expression; seeking to literally convey music on canvas. The list of his friends and admirers is quite extraordinary given his lack of ego and choice to plough a furrow out of the limelight. He met and was admired by the great collector Peggy Guggenheim in Venice in the late 1940s and was close to members of the American
Abstract Expressionist movement including Jackson Pollock. However, Davie gradually moved away from gestural expression to a more clarified vision, as shown in this fantastic example which is amply demonstrative of the complexity of his ideas. Taking reference points from a vast area of art history - Celtic, Buddhist, African, Hindi and Modernist to name but a few - he created a language of emblems and symbols with the aim of capturing the “mysterious and spiritual forces normally beyond our comprehension”. Davie’s esotericism and eccentricity earned him the reputation as something of a “shaman”, a fitting title for an artist who sought to live his entire life as an exploration of the magic that underpins art, music and philosophy. The artist has had retrospectives at the Barbican, London, Tate St Ives and Tate Britain. He was appointed CBE in 1972 and elected a senior Royal Academician in 2012.

SIR HOWARD HODGKIN Considered to be one the most important British artists of the twentieth century, Sir Howard Hodgkin was a central figure in the country’s modern art movement. Born in 1932 in Hammersmith London, Hodgkin was determined to become a painter from the young age of five. During the Second World War Hodgkin, along with his sister and mother, were evacuated to Long Island, USA. There his ambitions to paint were reinforced after seeing pictures by Matisse, and Picasso at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan. After returning to England he attended Eton College where he first began to collect Indian miniatures. After running away from school twice, Hodgkin was transferred to Bryanston School in Dorset however he soon ran away again to pursue his ambition of becoming a painter.
232 [§] HOWARD HODGKIN C.H., C.B.E. (BRITISH 1932-2017) BAMBOO, 2000 A.P., signed with initials and dated in pencil, numbered 3/18, screenprint on wovepaper 84cm x 91cm (33in x 35.75in)
£3,000-5,000
Hodgkin first trained at Camberwell School of Art followed by four years studying at Bath Academy of Art. In the mid-1950s a wave of Abstract Expressionism exhibitions in London had an important impact on the development of his style, and to extent liberated him as an artist. Hodgkin has exhibited at numerous notable institutions including the Hayward Gallery and Gagosian. He was also granted numerous major shows including exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, Tate Britain as well as representing Britain at the 1984 Venice Biennale. In 1976 Hodgkin’s first retrospective was curated by Nicolas Serota at the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford and in 1992 he was knighted for his services to the arts.
Note: Hodgkin’s work is characterised by his sensitivity to colour and ability to stimulate an emotive response in the viewer. His rich and complex paintings are rooted in an everyday reality and his own private experiences. Despite the sweeping energetic brush strokes conveying a sense of spontaneity, they are a result of an extensive process of careful layering and over painting. In Bamboo Hodgkin infuses his understanding of late nineteenth century French painting, especially work by Edouard Vuillard, with his own personal experiences of travelling to exotic locations. The impact of the vivid colour is intensified by his habit of incorporating the frame as part of the picture. Usually his titles seem opaque to the viewer, but for the artist they are the clue to the image.

233 [§] HOWARD HODGKIN C.H., C.B.E. (BRITISH 1932-2017) LOTUS Signed and dated ‘80, numbered 77/100, screenprint, printed by Kelpra Studio, published by Bernard Jacobson Plate size 73cm x 90cm (28.75in x 35.5in) Note: Hodgkin’s affiliation with Indian art blossomed early on in his life. During his time in Eton he was first introduced to Indian art by the drawing master Wilfrid Blunt. Soon after, Hodgkin became an avid collector of Indian prints and paintings, and over the years frequently visited the country. Hodgkin references his travels by painting India’s national flower.
£1,200-1,800
234 [§] HOWARD HODGKIN C.H., C.B.E. (BRITISH 1932-2017) FOR ANTONY, 2015 Signed with initials and dated in pencil, numbered 38/100, sugar lift etching from three copper plates 26.5cm x 42.5cm (10.5in x 16.75in) Note: This work features Hodgkin’s characteristic broad gestural brushstrokes. These, however, convey a deceiving sense of spontaneity, as it could take up to a year for Hodgkin to prepare to execute a single brushstroke. The title references his partner Antony Peattie whom he lived with until his death in 2017. After coming out as homosexual in the late 1970’s, his work became characterised by a heightened sense of eroticism. Painted during a mature point in their relationship the print simultaneously exudes a sense of tranquillity and distress.

(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.

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.

(1) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†).

(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.
(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.
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 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
(3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for.
(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
Modern British & Contemporary Art 137
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) wine: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, you affirm that you are at least that age. On collection, you must provide positive proof of age should this be requested. Buyers of wines must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. Lyon and Turnbull can provide no guarantees as to how the wine may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the buyer must be made. Wine is sold “as is” and quality of the wine is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given. (8) 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/ahvlaen/imports-exports/cites Lyon & Turnbull accepts no liability for any lots which may be subject to CITES but have not be identified as such. 14. SALE BY PRIVATE TREATY (a) The same Conditions of Sale (Buyers) shall apply to sales by private treaty. (b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction and subject to our agreed charges for Sellers and Buyers.

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.
