For art is not a “profession.” There is no essential difference between the artist and the craftsman. The artist is an exalted craftsman. Walter Gropius, 1919
We are delighted to welcome you to the second iteration of Modern Made, a showcase for the best of Modern British Art across multiple disciplines including paintings, works on paper, design and contemporary and studio ceramics. Displaying the work of different generations and mediums allows for reciprocal links. At the heart of this idea is the connections between different artists in different mediums in the Post-War years. Art Education in the mid-20th Century encouraged hands-on learning across differing disciplines, influenced by educational principles forged at the Bauhaus in the early decades of the century that reached Britain and America by the 1930s. In Britain, whether at the Royal College of Art, Central School or Camberwell School of Arts for example, it was often the case that students attended lectures together, socialised and exchanged work, only towards the end of the day separating into their individual entities. After the Second World War artists were seen to be at the forefront of a modernising force pushing to a newly remodelled and peaceful future. Numerous public programmes, such as The Festival of Britain or the re-building of Coventry Cathedral encouraged a cross-pollination of mediums, rejecting traditional hierarchies that placed painting and sculpture atop all else. This cross-over of ideas is most clearly shown in the collection of works from Porthia Textile Prints we are delighted to be exhibiting in Modern Made. Formed in the 1950s, by Denis Mitchell and his brother Endell in St. Ives, to gain publicity and money for the growing St Ives art scene in the 1950s, the aim was to produce a series of original table mats by a range of artists to be sold by Heals of London. Other collections to be featured in the auction include the studio and contemporary ceramics collection of the renowned gallerist Barbara Ling, works from the estate of the St. Ives artist Bryan Ingham and a special focus on a collection of Scandinavian rugs that coincides with the centenary of the foundation of the firm by Märta MååsFjetterström. We hope that Modern Made offers the perfect opportunity to acquire works by some of the century’s most celebrated artists and makers, and that the exhibition and auction is thought-provoking and inspirational. Philip Smith November 2019

Walter Sickert visited Dieppe for the first time in 1879, and regularly returned to live and work there. This view shows La Grand Rue from the Place Nationale, and the shops lining the street receding into the background. Apart from extended stays in Venice, between 1898 and 1905, Sickert focussed most of his work in Dieppe and made many paintings in and around the Place Nationale. The concept of an empty foreground, receding street and flat front of shops was a technique that Sickert employed many times in his landscape works of the period, as in this painting. From his first exhibition of work from Dieppe at the New English Art Club in 1891 his works attracted acclaim, the Sunday Times noting;
Mr Walter Sickert…has never done anything better than ‘Dieppe’, a vivid vision of the place that palpitates with actuality, and is entirely pictorial. Sunday Times, 12 April 1891 Other fees apply in addition to the hammer price: see the ‘Buyer’s Guide’ section on page 4

£6,000-9,000
Jean Dufy was a French Art Deco artist, best known for his colourful, melodic depictions of post-war Parisian society. Working to capture everyday life, from concert halls and circuses to country landscapes and busy Parisian streets, Dufy focused on recreating the feeling and impression of a scene, rather than individual details. In 1906, Dufy visited the exhibition ‘Cercle de l’Art Moderne’ in La Havre, and it was this show that eventually inspired him to pursue an artistic career. The exhibit, one of Dufy’s first exposures to Modern Art, crucially shaped his approach to art and introduced him to artists such as Picasso and Matisse. While he had no formal training, his older brother was well-known French Fauvist Raoul Dufy, who served as his artistic mentor. In January 1914, Dufy launched his artistic career, holding his first show at Galerie Berthe Weil. He returned to Paris after the war and settled in the Montmartre district of Paris, moving next door to artist George Braque, who encouraged Dufy to experiment with Cubism.
His personal painting style developed into a vibrant fusion of PostImpressionism with a loose decorative approach to colour and line, which he achieved from his work in porcelain design. For almost 30 years, Dufy worked for Limoge porcelain manufacturer Theodore Haviland, hand-painting decorative designs of animals and flowers. At the 1925 L’exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs he was awarded a gold medal for designing the service ‘Châteaux de France’. Dufy participated in many exhibitions, including the Salon d’Automne, which reflected the popularity of jazz music and the art of Parisian culture after the war. Dufy would return to his native Normandy throughout his life and spent long stretches of time in the south of France. The dynamism of these landscapes and cityscapes- particularly noticeable in the street scene Route de Rives (Touraine)- are so cleverly captured due to Dufy’s uniquely musical and distinctive Post-Impressionistic style.

Christopher Chamberlain’s studies at the Royal College of Art were interrupted by the outbreak of World War II. He joined the Royal Army Service Corps and served in the British Expeditionary Forces that evacuated Dunkirk in 1940. After the end of the war, he returned to the Royal College before starting a teaching career, notably at Camberwell School of Art. Chamberlain exhibited widely, was respected in the field and was known for his scenes of London. He stated ‘I have made many studies
in this area where I live, in the belief that one must learn thoroughly something about a particular and loosely limited area within one’s experience. I don’t believe it is possible to make much of a statement about anything unless one knows one’s subject very well indeed’ (letter of 3 April 1955). His work is held in the Tate Collections (The Dangerous Corner, 1954), Royal Academy (Liverpool: America Dock, 1957) and Swindon Art Gallery (Vauxhall Bridge Station, 1955).

Barbara Ling, owner of The Candover Gallery, is considered a significant figure and gallerist in the contemporary ceramics scene throughout the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. The Candover Gallery operated from 1984 to 2007 to much acclaim, showing work by many of the leading names in the field before they rose to wider prominence. The gallery regularly featured noteworthy work from the likes of Jennifer Lee, Magdalene Odundo, Sutton Taylor, Abdo Nagi, John Maltby, Walter Keeler, Lucie Rie, David Roberts, Duncan Ross, Gordon Cooke, Peter Hayes, Michael Casson and David Leach. As such she can be considered one of a small group of ground-breaking British gallerists that supported contemporary ceramics throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries. She was a potter herself and unusually did not obtain stock for her gallery on sale or return, but always insisted on choosing and paying for the work herself. Her eye for quality and detail ensured she made a profit from her very first exhibition.
For the ceramicist Peter Lane, after a hiatus of three years and having sold and given away his kilns, glazes and materials, it was a chance meeting with Barbara that led him to change his mind and begin making pots again for a solo exhibition at the Candover Gallery in 1991, and when Barbara retired and closed the gallery in 2007, Walter Keeler made her a special commemorative mug celebrating Barbara Ling and the Candover Gallery and twentythree Glorious Years! (See across). This carefully curated selection from her estate charts the thriving nature of British studio ceramics of this period, and Barbara’s significance in promoting and sustaining a number of artists, and thereby the whole British ceramic movement, during these critical years.

Note: Still Life with Tulips will be included in any future updated editions of John Gledhill’s Catalogue Raisonne of the Oil Paintings of Matthew Smith, first published by Lund Humphries in November 2009.
...he seems to me to be one of the very few English painters since Constable and Turner to be concerned with painting – that is, with attempting to make idea and technique inseparable. Painting in this sense tends towards a complete interlocking of image and paint, so that the image is the paint, and vice versa. Here the brush stroke creates the form and does not merely fill it in. Consequently every movement of the brush on the canvas alters the shape and implications of the image.

Having trained at Camberwell School of Art, where he was taught by Lucie Rie, Hans Coper and Bryan Newman, he was also deeply influenced by the American movement in ceramics. His work can be compared with the 1960s West Coast movement known as Funk, even though Hepburn did not use the ‘bawdy locker-room’ images, such as tea pots with penis spouts for example - as those used by Robert Arneson. His work was dominated by slab built boxes, and plinths supporting simularcra telephones, a toaster and milk bottles. For the weaver Ann Sutton, Hepburn was ‘the first exciting craft ceramics of our time’, the embodiment of a new movement and spirit of young artists in the crafts movement of the late 1960s. He exhibited a gallery of slab built boxes and slip-casts multiples at the Crafts Centre in 1969, where this current rare example probably originated from.

A CENTENARY: MÄRTA MÅÅSFJETTERSTRÖM & HER LEGACY 2019 marks the centenary of Märta Måås-Fjetterström establishing her workshop (‘MMF’) in Båstad, Sweden and becoming one of the most significant figures in the history of 20th-Century Scandinavian rug making and textile design. She reversed the decline of traditional techniques, exploring a wide variety of styles and her studio promoted hand-crafted carpets, rugs and wall-hangings that are today highly sought after and prized by collectors and designers. Måås-Fjetterström’s work was widely exhibited, including the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, Paris in 1925 and at the Metropolitan Museum in New York in 1929 and her work soon became highly desirable commodities. The modernist architects and designers Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and Ray Eames all espoused and endorsed Scandinavian textile design of this period, perceiving its aesthetic quality in complimenting metalwork and hard wood favoured in their modern designs, and this all helped in making Måås-Fjetterström’s studio an important centre for rug and carpet production.
With over 700 designs, her work was known for its exceptional quality, craftsmanship, attractive textural characteristics and technical superiority whether flat-weave, knotted pile works or where both techniques were combined. After her death in 1941, her legacy was continued by Barbro Nilsson, who took up the mantle as the workshop’s director, and was joined by the designer Marienne Richter. The workshop creates Märta’s designs and new works in beautifully subtle patterns and colours to this day, and early examples are now highly prized for their virtuosity which influenced and set a standard for Nordic textile design throughout the 20th Century. The following lots show examples of her work and workshop and those who she influenced in mid-20th Century Scandinavian textile design.

In the artist John Armstrong’s Apollo review of Nash’s exhibition at the Leicester Galleries in 1932 he stated that his work at this exhibition had a unique quality “which is never naked or raw, but at the same time, never allows itself to be dismissed as negligible. This is particularly the case in his present exhibition of water-colours at the Leicester Galleries...The illustrations [in Apollo] give only a hint of the delicacy and significance of the originals, but, in the drawings themselves, this combination of instinct and design is as apparent as in his most considered painting.”
In the early 1930s Nash started to experiment with photographic angles and unexpected cropping in his work, producing perplexing and surreal effects that would come to be a significant part of his oeuvre in this decade. Easter Sunday is an example of him exploring these flattened forms and different plains of vision which purposely disconcert the viewer with inexplicable disjunctures.

FROM THE ESTATE OF BRYAN INGHAM Bryan Ingham was an independent and dedicated artist, who furrowed his own artistic path throughout a long and productive career, attributing his successful endeavours to ‘sheer, bloody hard work.’ Born and raised in Yorkshire, he was introduced to poetry and music by his bachelor uncle, who also forged in him a deep love of reading, despite his struggles at school. His first encounter with visual art and painting was through attendance at Scouts, where one evening a lady artist shared her watercolours; Ingham fell in love and was inspired to start painting himself. Later called up to the RAF, an ‘artistic sort of airman,’ he was fortunate enough to be paired in accommodation with a designer who had attended the Royal College of Art, whom further encouraged Ingham’s creative instincts and set him up still-life studies to work from. Ingham returned to Britain following his service armed with the ambition to be an artist. His ensuing formal artistic training took place at Central St. Martins and then the Royal College of Art, as the young Ingham felt a move to London entirely necessary to both his personal and artistic development. He gained attention from senior staff for his talent, and on the strength of his work generated numerous job offers at graduation and a grant allowing him to spend a year in Italy, travelling and then studying at the British Academy in Rome. At this stage, Ingham seemed poised to become an establishment artist, with works already receiving prime positions and sales at the Royal Academy. Yet, eternally independent, he instead made the decision to purchase a remote cottage on the Lizard peninsula in West Cornwall, following in the footsteps of Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth. He maintained this for the rest of his life, and worked there for long periods every year, interspersed with trips abroad, particularly to northern Germany, and times where he lived elsewhere in Cornwall, most notably at St. Ives. This commitment to Cornwall drew him into both the inspiration and social network of the St. Ives school, of which he became an important figure. Throughout his career, Ingham worked in a variety of mediums, creating a large body of works that drew on the rich artistic legacy of Britain, and artists such as Nicholson and Peter Lanyon, alongside the wider continental influences of Mondrian, Braque and Picasso. Towards the end of his life he reflected on his career as a 45-year ‘apprenticeship,’ acknowledging ‘there is the argument that by going down many false paths one has enriched one’s vocabulary, if only minimally, but positively enriched it…because nobody else has gone up and down those various pathways . . . I’ve been up and down a hell of a lot of pathways.’ Lyon & Turnbull are delighted to be offering a carefully curated selection of work from the artist’s estate, showing the fundamental role that Ingham played in the interdisciplinary nature of British art during the 20th Century.

Frederick McWilliam attended the Slade School of Art, London, after leaving Northern Ireland at the age of 19, where he studied painting under Henry Tonks. By the early 1930s he had turned his attention to sculpture and began experimenting in wood and stone before the war. On his return from war service “He began to make constructions built on wire armatures. This system gave him a new freedom and allowed him to construct figures drawn in space with slender angular limbs and elongated bodies.” (Roland Penrose, McWilliam, London, 1964, p.7) In Birdwatcher McWilliam combines gaunt limb-like forms, where ‘the energy within radiates from the angular joints of the limbs’ (Roland Penrose, McWilliam, London, 1964, p.8), in gracefully poised positions that are alert with tension.

On McWilliams ‘mechanomorphic’ sculptures of the period, Mel Gooding states “Where Moore’s predominantly horizontal figures recline, their weighty mass earth-bound and imitative of the landscape ... McWilliam’s figures are active, waking up, turning over, sitting up. Their forms derived from the engine and its turning shafts ... propose activity. In doing so these works take up again issues to do with movement in space that go back in different ways to Rodin and Boccioni and the futurists, without being in any way imitative of those earlier figures.” (M. Gooding, F.E. McWilliam: Sculpture 193289, London, 1989, p. 53).

PORTHIA PRINTS In an attempt to gain publicity for the growing St. Ives art scene in the 1950s, Denis Mitchell and his brother formed the company Porthia Prints. They encouraged local artists to submit original designs, which would then be screen-printed onto pieces of linen and sold as table mats. Terry Frost, who sometimes helped Mitchell with the printing of the textiles, described one reason for the venture as ‘just a way of making a bit of extra money’ for all the artists concerned (quoted in Geoffrey Rayner et al., Textile Design: Artists’ Textiles 1940-1976, Antique Collectors’ Club Ltd., 2014, p.92). At least 17 painters and sculptors took part in the project and put forward designs to be produced on linen fabric. 13 table mats were selected and, by 1955, they were being produced and sold exclusively through Heal & Son Limited of London. The artists featured were John Wells, Peter Lanyon, Terry Frost, Roger Hilton, Robert Adams, William Gear, Denis Mitchell, Michael Snow, Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, Patrick Heron, Barbara Hepworth, Stanley Dorfman and John Forrester. By 1957 Alexander Mackenzie, Trevor Bell and Agnes Drey had been added to the team. The results were unveiled to the public on 1st March 1955 at the exhibition Abstract Designs at Heal’s Mansard Gallery. It was opened by Philip James, then Director of Art at the Arts Council, and was introduced as follows:
Heals Picture Gallery and Craftsman’s Market present an exhibition of abstract design (pictures, sculpture, prints and table linen) by thirteen artists in collaboration with Porthia Prints: Designers of fabrics repeatedly draw on the inventiveness of contemporary printers and sculptors for their inspiration. This is bad if it perverts or destroys the impact of the artists’ ideas on his public, but it can be a good thing if it helps to break down the separateness of the artists, enabling people to become familiar with his idioms by incorporating them directly into their everyday lives. Recently Porthia Prints invited a number of painters and sculptors, who are not normally fabric designers, to solve a simple problem of functional design. The first results of this experiment form the present exhibition. One part is composed of the table mats, screen printed in two colours onto linen, from the designs of these artists. The other part of the exhibition is of paintings, prints and sculptures by the same artists, so that we can see how, in solving his problem of design, each painter and sculptor has used again the particular personal idiom of his art.
In the early days there was some optimism. Orders were secured in London for £150 worth of mats, and Bonnier’s of Madison Avenue proposed an exhibition. Heal’s declared themselves ‘satisfied’ with the sales of the first few weeks. But problems were already beginning to surface. Repeat orders often caused difficulties, as their production method was calibrated for the manufacture of thirteen or fourteen prints of each design, which were intended to be sold in sets or singly. However, most clients requested sets of six different mats or varieties of individual prints and Porthia struggled to keep up with demand. Denis also wrote to Stanley Dorfman saying, ‘I have found it impossible to get any one to work, they are all damn lazy.’ Mitchell, though, was convinced that together they could have ‘built up a nice little business.’ The production issues led Heal’s to withdraw their support in 1960. Apart from an exhibition at the Redfern Gallery in 1986, showing six of the mats, and a fuller exhibition of the mats in 2006 organised by the Belgrave Gallery, St. Ives in conjunction with Margaret Howell, London, these works have been largely unknown. The following collection from an important St. Ives artist’s estate, including a number of original designs, marks an important moment in the St. Ives artistic movement and a rare and unique collaboration of artists associated with St. Ives in the Post-War years.

ST. IVES Nestled along the coast of West Cornwall, St Ives is a fishing town that quickly became a centre for modern and abstract developments in British art. A cultural and artistic haven since the late 1800s, St Ives has been known to attract and enchant artists from across the world. In 1939, sculptor Dame Barbara Hepworth and then husband, artist Ben Nicholson, settled in St Ives and established a base for the abstract, avant-garde movement in Britain. With the end of World War II, a new generation of artists began to emerge, led by Hepworth and Nicholson. These artists had a shared interest in abstraction and a deep fascination with the coastal landscape of West Cornwall. Many used the shapes, forms, and colours of the fishing town as a source of inspiration in their work. This forward-thinking collective of artists, which included Peter Lanyon, Roger Hilton, W. Barns-Graham , and Patrick Heron, became known as the ‘St Ives School’.
Denis Mitchell, an English abstract sculptor, was one of the artists who became an active member in this artistic community following WWII. From 1949-59, he acted as Hepworth’s assistant and personally worked on many of her sculptures. It was during this decade that Mitchell developed an interest in the purity of form and the manipulation of space. His sculptures, such as the gravitydefying Carn Galver II, 1968 (Lot 236) and the sleek Roseveor, 1985 (Lot 238), show a strong understanding of balance, line, movement and light. Mitchell’s works, although abstract in form, remain rooted in the landscape of St Ives. Working primarily in bronze and wood, he often hand carved his works and hand finished his bronzes. Mitchell placed great emphasis on texture and material in the design and execution of his sculptures. Other notable British abstract artists with strong involvement in the St Ives School were Sir Terence (Terry) Frost R.A. and Breon O’Casey. Terry Frost began his artistic career in his 30s, after
121
befriending English painter Adrian Heath while in captivity at a Bavarian prison camp during WWII. Frost attended several different art schools upon his return to England and spent a year in St Ives, before holding his first solo show there in 1947. He continued to exhibit in St Ives over the years and settled there in 1951, working as an assistant to Barbara Hepworth. It was during this time that he developed and refined his distinctively vibrant, geometric abstract style, which typically involved colourful patterns of overlapping squares, rectangles and half-circles, as evident in his works Sun and Boat (Kemp 135), circa 1992-1996 (Lot 228), Timberaine E (Kemp 207e), 2000-01 (Lot 271) and The Island, 1950 (Lot 232). Breon O’Casey was another St Ives artist who worked with both Denis Mitchell and Barbara Hepworth, and found inspiration in the Cornish light, colour and landscape. O’Casey moved to St Ives in the 1950s and lived in Cornwall until his death in 2011. He began as an apprentice for Mitchell but quickly moved on to assist Hepworth, working part-time in her studio alongside Terry Frost.

In 1962, O’Casey began experimenting with his own pictorial vocabulary of geometric form. Like Frost, he painted in a uniquely abstract manner, capturing the world around him through a series of circles, triangles and squares, like that in his oil painting Red Sun (Lot 237). The physical, cultural and social landscape of St Ives had a profound impact on these artists, and ultimately encouraged a new abstract, modern art movement in Britain. Lyon & Turnbull are honoured to offer this diverse range of artworks from the zenith of the St Ives School.

£700-1,000 Designed in 1937, Vertical was one of a small number of Constructivist textiles designed by Ben Nicholson during the 1930s. Consisting solely of geometric motifs, and closely related to Nicholson’s important low white relief sculptures, it is woven in such a way to give the impression of low sculptural relief effects. A version of Vertical was ordered for The Savoy Hotel in 1938. Nicholson refused to allow the design to be altered to match the exisiting decor of the hotel, stating ‘if anything were altered, it should be the hotel’. ‘Of all the fabrics in the Constructivist collection, it was Vertical that attracted the most attention and the largest orders, in spite of its high price tag of 20s per yard. Had it not been for the war, the fabric would have remained in production’ (Jackson, p.81).

Halima Cassell is one of the most dynamic ceramicists and sculptors working in Britain today. Her sculpture reflects her dual nationality and her British heritage having been born in Kashmir, and grown up in north-west England, and shows her love of architecture, geometry and natural forms. Cassell uses definite lines and dramatic angles, attempting to manifest the universal language of number and create an unsettling sense of movement. Cassell exhibits widely both in the UK and internationally, and her work is represented in many notable public and private collections including the V&A, London; Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery; and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. She currently has a major solo exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery Halima Cassell: Eclectica Global Inspirations. We would like to thank Halima Cassell for assisting in the cataloguing of these lots.

Her work is principally inspired by nature, particularly where repetitive patterns and shapes are found, notably the forms that water can take and the emotional response it can evoke. Building up single strands of silver, she allows her pieces to form a life of their own, like water.

W. Norton & Company, 2002, for the full size gilded version. Note: With this series of works, the formal concept is derived from the dynamics of landscape formations and creation; where geological references to tectonic layering and movement, spatial overlap, penetration of layers and juxtaposition create a collision - static versus dynamic forces. This is a functional and sculptural approach to design.

Their collective comprises husband, wife, son and daughter, but beyond being close family members, the Boyle Family are artistic collaborators. This began soon after Mark Boyle, a Glaswegian by birth, and Joan Hills, originally from Edinburgh, met whilst living in Yorkshire in the 1950s. Their children Sebastian and Georgia were exposed to studio life from an early age, ultimately opting to continue the collaboration into adulthood. Though initially exhibiting under Mark’s name alone, they began representing themselves as ‘Boyle family’ from 1985. Their work was experimental and cross disciplinary from the start, with famous early projects including innovative visual installations in collaboration with musicians like Jimi Hendrix and the Soft Machine. Elements of film and performance continue to play a part in their practise, but it is the Journey to the Surface of Earth series, launched in 1968-69, for which they are best known. Works from the Earth series are, in the Boyle Family’s own words, ‘three dimensional casts of the surface of the earth which record and document random sites with great accuracy. These works combine real material from the site (stones, dust, twigs etc) with paint and resins, preserving the form of the ground to make unique one-off pieces that suggest and offer new interpretations of the environment.’ Sites were selected on the map by the throw of a dart whilst blindfolded, and the precise patch of ground to be immortalised, narrowed down by the toss of a t-square over the shoulder. Like archaeologists, the Boyles would then focus on that particular section of earth and work meticulously to capture and recreate the site in resin and fibreglass. The full details of their materials, casting technique and how they achieve such accurate representations are a well-kept family secret. In 1974, they began creating casts in a site near their house in Shepherds Bush, which is now buried under the Westfield Shopping Centre. While trying to gain access to the private site, Mark asked the property owner for permission to take photographs. The owner asked if he was a professional photographer and, seeing no other way in, Mark pretended he was.
In a twist of fate, the site owner was working on a planning enquiry to develop the land into a lorry park. The owner needed photos showing lorries illegally parked in the area at night, therefore showing the demand for a lorry park. These photographs were enough to award the owner planning permission, and he then granted Mark the permission to work on the site. In his book, Mark Boyle’s Journey to the Surface of the Earth, J.L.Locher recalled the unfettered access, stating ‘This gave us the opportunity to work freely on a wide range of studies, variegated earth, rubble, cracked earth, wet, moist, damp and dry mud, animal and bird footprints, and so on. As time went by these were grouped together as the Lorrypark Series.’ Lyon & Turnbull is delighted to offer a work from this series, titled Study of Cobbles, with Mud, Stones and Debris, Lorry Park Series, 1974. This piece was potentially included in the Serpentine Gallery’s one-man exhibition of Mark Boyle’s work (4 Oct 1975 to 2 Nov 1975), which included artwork from the Earth series. They family would go on to represent Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1978, and again at the Sao Paulo Biennale in 1987. Their exhibition ‘Beyond Image’ at London’s Hayward Gallery in 1986 attracted 176,000 visitors, and the National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh, hosted a major retrospective of the family’s work in 2003. Though Mark Boyle passed away in 2005, the family continues their work. The Boyle Family is represented in many private and public collections with major works in forty museum collections worldwide, including Tate Britain; Stuttgart Staatsgalerie; Los Angeles County Museum; Kunstmuseum Luzern; Tokyo Metropolitan Museum; Museum Moderna Kunst Vienna.

The idea behind this series came from one of Frost’s large stripe paintings, and was inspired by tree trunks in a forest. Working in woodcut allowed Frost to accomplish the quality and clarity of design he envisioned, in contrast to his painting, where the edges of the stripes were inevitably softer. In this technique Frost used three separate woodcuts to make up the pieces.

272 ALEXANDER CALDER (AMERICAN 1898-1976) ‘ACROBATS’ TEXTILE, 1976 Screenprinted cotton, produced for the Whitney Museum, 1976 100cm x 71cm (78.5in x 28in) Literature: See Geoffrey Raynor et al., Artist’s Textiles 1940-1976, Antiques Collectors’ Club, 2014, illustration no.62 for an example of this textile. Note: The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, held a major restrospective Calder’s Universe in 1976, and Calder worked with the Whitney on preparations, including this textile. This is one of the few, if any, industrially manufactured textiles designed by artists after the 1960s in America. It is also one of Calder’s last known designs, due to his untimely death five weeks after the exhibition opening.

The symbol of the ‘Dot/Bindu’ has many meanings which fascinate her. It represents the smallest possible mark, pure potentiality and the starting point from which all things arise. The choice of gently bellied forms directly relate to the surface pattern. ‘When making the ‘Bindu’ series, my aim is to create forms that evoke a visual, tactile and emotional response through form and the use of colour and pattern. I use under glazes because I love the seemingly soft surface they create and when I combine that velvet background with contrasting pattern, the end results pulsate.’

277 SARA MOORHOUSE (BRITISH 1974-) ‘SATURN’ BOWL Incised artist’s initials 14cm high, 29.2cm diameter (5.5in high, 11.5in diameter)
£600-800
Sara Moorhouse’s development of colour and spatial perception in ceramics began with her Masters degree at Cardiff in 2003. Her work uses the bowl as a canvas, distilling specific landscape scenes and exploring the spaces within landscape where they appear altered depending on the ever-changing colours of season, weather and time. Her forms can be made to seem deeper or shallower, wider or narrower, or may appear to bend, move, undulate or hover by the juxtaposition of lines. The viewing of both inner and outer surfaces together enables her to exploit colour connections and visual play from one side to another emphasising or flattening the dimensionality of the form. Moorhouse’s works are thrown, turned and fired, then lines are applied to the bisque bowl by being painted in hand back on the wheel, before a final matte glaze is applied to the pieces to stabilise and enhance the coloured surface. ‘I am fascinated by the ways in which colour affects the appearance of three-dimensional space and form. I first recognised this phenomenon within the arable landscapes of North Nottinghamshire and, whilst colour theory impacts greatly on my process, landscapes are a source to which I always return.’

Nam June Paik was a visionary artist and one of the first to embrace new technology and mass media. His work was innovative and experimental, pioneering the use of video and television in art and coining the phrase ‘electronic super highway’, predicting communication in the internet age. Mini-metrobot is a small editioned maquette for the 26 foot tall Metrobot created as a sidewalk ambassador for The Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, in celebration of the 50 th anniversary of the center and 200 th anniversary of the city. It was created to communicate the Arts Center’s location, as well as imparting a message of events and exhibitions on its electronic message board arm. There was a public telephone and video monitors in its legs that allowed the public to further interact with the piece. A major retrospective of Nam June Paik’s work is currently taking place at Tate Modern, London, organised in collaboration with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

A. BEFORE THE SALE 1. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS
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. All dimensions and weights are approximate only. 2. O UR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS
We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the
extent provided below. (a) 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 endeavour 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 us 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 us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way. (b) 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. (c) 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. 3. WITHDRAWAL
Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw. 4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS
(a) Jewellery: (i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future. (ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report. (iii) We do not obtain a gemmological
19.2 report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report. (iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. (b) 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, we make 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 we 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.

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 may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above.
