Viewed together the works of art in both collections are a true testament to the vitality of the British Art scene in the mid to late 20th Century, and the international influences seeping in from around the world. Featuring paintings, sculpture, prints, design and studio and contemporary ceramics, by some of the century’s most celebrated artists and makers, they capture the essence of creativity and excitement that abounded in the art world during those years.

many works never before seen on the market by the likes of Barbara Hepworth, Alfred Wallis, John Wells, Terry Frost, Paul Feiler, Robert Adams, Denis Mitchell, Bernard Leach, Janet Leach and Breon O’Casey, they tell the story of a rich cultural history and the focus of landscape and abstraction emanating from the small fishing village in Cornwall. Works by Pierre Paulin, the Memphis Group, Tom Dixon and Gio Ponti highlight the diversity and innovation in design practices during the period, and pieces by an array of artists including Helen Bradley, Barry Flanagan, Ivon Hitchens, Boaz Vaadia, Mary Fedden, Takis, Petra Cortright and Peter Collingwood are not to be missed. Overall we hope the exhibition and auctions are intriguing, whatever your budget or taste, and we believe that presented together these works provide a captivating and thought-provoking insight into the dynamism of British and International Art in the pre and post war years.

within which to work. Almost all her contemporaries, the

In 1940 Barns-Graham left Edinburgh for St Ives, in the wake of a small group of Modernist artists escaping from London and imminent war. The art of this band of friends was already known to her, having seen their work in exhibition and been encouraged in her choice of St Ives by her College Principal Hubert Wellington who was acquainted with them. Wellington believed Barns-Graham would find in Cornwall and specifically in the company of the Modernists, a warm welcome and a conducive environment in which to blossom as an artist – and he was right. Upon arrival, she quickly met and was drawn into the circle of Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, Naum Gabo, and later Bernard Leach, as well as local figures such as Alfred Wallis. While this formidable group of painters, sculptors and potters certainly had a profound effect on the 27-year-old Scot, she did not arrive entirely unprepared. Her origins, training, and new life in Cornwall, combined to provide the inspiration and structure for her own career.

friends and artists with whom she had lived in such close proximity for so long, were gone. With a growing urgency and a new-found energy and economy of mark-making, BarnsGraham created a sequence of pared back, breathtakingly beautiful works on canvas. It was in these years too, that the most influential and inspirational creative partnership of Barns-Graham’s career was established. Her collaboration, with Carol Robertson and Robert Adam of Graal Press, (based near Edinburgh) began in 1998, the year of their founding, and continued until her death. Their pioneering use of water-based inks brought the silkscreen process closer to Barns-Graham’s studio practice, resulting in some of the most ravishingly beautiful images of her career. When she died aged 91, she was at work on a new sequence of prints.

from within her own circle. She seldom acquired beyond that, only occasionally purchasing from young artists whom she wished to support. That personal motivation continues today in the work of the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust, that she herself established in 1987. Its work embodies her belief in the crucial importance of support for art students and recent graduates: something she herself benefitted from. It was a Travel Scholarship (restricted by the outbreak of war) that enabled her to settle in St Ives.

The Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Collection presented here, was assembled almost entirely through professional and personal relationships. Willie purchased works (and indeed sold works on) or was gifted them, sometimes by the artist in question, whilst others she received as gifts from third parties. Although there is little clear evidence, from our conversations I believe, as with so many other artists, she also acquired and gave works through direct exchange.

It being an inherited family house, the works displayed there were more diverse. Willie’s own work predominated, but some family heirlooms did provide a strong visual note. A striking photograph in the Barns-Graham Trust archive, shows the artist sitting in the original imposing dining room, surrounded by her own work.

ALFRED WALLIS

Mary Buchanan and her husband, the novelist George Buchanan were among those friends the newly arrived Barns-Graham made through the auspices of her Edinburgh

The three paintings in this collection by Alfred Wallis were gifted to Barns-Graham by individual friends: Mary Buchanan, Sven Berlin, and Ben Nicholson. Wallis died in 1942 two years after Willie settled in St Ives. There was time however for her to become acquainted with him, and to act as a sort of ambassador for those who wished to meet the self-taught painter (he could be crotchety). She admired, as did Ben Nicholson and other painters before her, the simplicity and directness of his imagemaking. There was a freedom, a lack of formality, that the Moderns strived for. To Wallis, painting was a physical event: perspective and relative scale was irrelevant as he storyboarded his memories. It is difficult today, when his work commands so much attention, to imagine the ease with which one could acquire his work, and also give it away.

College of Art fellow painter Margaret Mellis, and her new husband the art critic and painter, Adrian Stokes. The latter was the catalyst for the move to Cornwall of Barbara Hepworth, her husband Ben Nicholson and the Russian sculptor Naum Gabo with his wife, Miriam. The Stokes’ Carbis Bay home, Little Parc Owles, was a magnet for all new arrivals, and those visiting from London and elsewhere. Despite the house being full of senior Modernist figures, Barns-Graham never forgot her first encounter with the group of Wallis paintings Stokes owned. Always a note-taker, she recorded the oddly shaped bits of cardboard he painted on, and his particular colours: black boats, green and white seas, and grey houses. Some very early St Ives paintings of sheds by Willie owe something to Wallis, the flattening of perspective and his palette. Essay by Lynne Green

One day in fine weather I went round to the Penwith Society of Art and there I saw a large tall brown Bernard Leach pot and immediately decided I would buy it, went up to the curator (Kathy Watkins) and told her I would bring in the cheque tomorrow (£35). I walked down the gallery studying at Bernard’s small porcelain pots and was joined by some Americans. We got talking and I so fired them with my enthusiasm I sold some there and then to the Americans. Returning to the curator to confirm I was coming in tomorrow. Kate Nicholson was standing beside her ‘Too late’ said the curator ‘Too late’ said Kate, ‘you should be quicker I have just bought it!’ I was furious but kept control and left the gallery.

Berlin was in the Army the two women were particularly close companions. Berlin was later to alienate most of the artistic community of St Ives (almost ten years after he left it), with the publication in 1962 of The Dark Monarch: A Portrait from Within. As a fictionalised autobiography, it is both vicious and inaccurate. His characters are thinly disguised friends and fellow artists. Resented by some of her peers for her posh Scottish accent, and perceived relative wealth, Barns-Graham became for Berlin ‘ffrederika ffirth-fforth’, Barbara Hepworth, ‘Diana ‘Delphi’ Coracle’ and Ben Nicholson, ‘Sir Stanislas Robinson’ and so on. The physical description of Nicholson is I must say, entertaining, and not without something of the original. The Modernist, breakaway Crypt Group (of which both Berlin and Barns-Graham were founding, exhibiting-members) became the ‘Cuckoo Group’ within the traditional St Ives Society of Arts. Though unflattering, it is not without some truth.

Sven Berlin was an interesting figure within the St Ives school and part of one of the earliest waves of settlers to the artists’ colony. Born in London, Berlin had originally begun a career as an adagio dancer, before moving to Cornwall in 1938. It was via his job in the market garden belonging to Adrian Stokes and Margaret Mellis in Carbis Bay that he made an introduction to Hepworth and Nicholson. One of his most significant contributions to the legacy of the St Ives School was the publication of his biography of the fisherman / artist Alfred Wallis; the first text to be written on this fascinating figure whose aesthetic so influenced the development of Nicholson and his followers. Berlin became a well-known figure and something of an attraction within the St Ives community; he could frequently be observed in his studio garden, stripped to the waist, working on his sculpture. He exhibited paintings, drawings and sculpture regularly with the St. Ives Society of Artists and in London, and was a founding member of the Crypt Group, alongside artists including Barns-Graham, Peter Lanyon, John Wells and Bryan Wynter, and was also a member of the Penwith Society of Arts for a short time.

John Wells and Wilhelmina Barns-Graham shared a particular friendship. Both had benefited from the mentorship of Ben Nicholson who, of the many artists that gathered in St Ives, seemed to have had a particular interest in Barns-Graham’s work. She and Wells had also been significantly influenced by the work of Naum Gabo, a leading figure in Russian Constructivism who, as an emigrant during the war, followed his friends Nicholson and Hepworth to St Ives, playing a key role in the modernist developments that took place there. This impact was seen in the pair’s artistic practices which shared an affinity with an analytical, at times scientific approach to abstraction. As a result there is often something more linear and hard-edged to their output than some of their more expressionistic peers: a theory of the landscape and its forms as much as a representation of it.

26 §

Anthony Benjamin is regarded as a talented polymath; a painter, sculptor and printmaker. Having studied in Paris under Fernand Léger, Benjamin came to St Ives in the late 1950s as a rebellious young artist. Using a small legacy, he purchased a cottage which previously belonged to Sven Berlin. Here, he found encouragement from the likes of Peter Lanyon, accepting his suggestion to join the Newlyn Society of Artists. He had his first one-man exhibition there in 1958. His work developed rapidly here, and he was apparently well supported and encouraged by significant figures in the art world, including Henry Moore and Francis Bacon who gave him canvases. Originally rooted in a more ‘kitchen-sink’ aesthetic, in Cornwall Benjamin’s work became more Abstract Expressionist in concept.

Terry Frost arrived in Cornwall in 1946, staying in a caravan at Carbis Bay and then a house on Quay Street, St Ives, before returning to London and the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts in 1947. He re-visited Cornwall over the next few summers before settling in St Ives in 1950. Barbara Hepworth gave him a job as her assistant at this point, alongside fellow artists Denis Mitchell and John Wells, offering him a steady income and structured working week. It was around this period that Frost began his series of paintings of the quayside. David Lewis, art historian and Barns-Graham’s husband, commented: “[These...] paintings were definitely beginnings for Frost. Boat shapes, masts, riggings, water, sky, rippling, all became free compositional elements of mass, lie, colour, texture and movement rocking to and fro ... because the boats are never still, never static, and so you’ve got this terrific sort of up and down motion, this leaning over that.” When Ben Nicholson first saw works from this series, he exclaimed “you’ve got on to something that can last you for the rest of your life” and it remains true that these shapes were to recur in Frost’s work throughout his career, even as his choice of colour grew bolder and compositions more abstract. Grey, Black and White feels completely abstract at first glance but with further consideration, the overlapping elements emerge to reveal a quayside scene. Frost remains preoccupied with form and texture, restricting his colour palette to focus on depth and volume. The resulting composition is quintessentially mid-century and St. Ives, as well as a microcosm of Frost’s wider artistic considerations at this period.

Wilhelmina Barns-Graham acquired more works from the sculptor and painter Robert Adams, than any other specific artist, and this does suggest a deep and close friendship and a respect for each other’s art. Both artists were included in the Gimpel Fils British Abstract Art exhibition in 1951, when Adams was exploring a constructivist and abstract vocabulary, and she was moving in that direction. It was during this period in the 1950s that Adams first became associated with the artists of St Ives, having visited the town for a few weeks each summer since at least 1952 when he had been invited by Wilhelmina Barns-Graham and David Lewis (her husband), along with his wife Pat to stay with them. They developed into a close-knit foursome, and made regular visits to each other’s homes in Hampstead in London, and St. Ives subsequently. Barns-Graham made a point of always having Adams’ work on display, and on moving into her new studio at Barnaloft on Porthmeor Beach in St Ives in 1963, the ceramic plate by him was the first thing hung in her new home. This plate is particularly noteworthy within Adams’ oeuvre in indicating his development to abstract art. Through the 1950s he taught at the Central School of Art and Design in London, coming into contact with Victor Pasmore and artists such as Kenneth Martin and Mary Martin who were pursuing abstract and constructivist ideas in Britain at this point, and it was at this time he loosely joined in the activities of this liked-minded group, remaining allied to them until around 1956. During this period Adams sent both paintings and sculptures to group exhibitions of their work and it is likely that this ceramic could have been among these works, specifically as Pasmore and Kenneth Martin were also known to have made designs for plates, some being exhibited at the Redfern Gallery in May 1952. The composition of the plate with the white ground broken and juxtaposed with black vertical bars and sharply edged lozenges reflect a more rigorously abstract art than he had considered before, and was reflected in a small group of further prints and collages he produced around 1952, that also resemble the art of Robert Motherwell which Adams had seen in New York and as Alastair Grieve noted must have been one of the earliest examples of the New York School in Britain. Adams played further with these ideas he had been developing in 2D in Rectangular Bronze Form No. 2 (1953) noted to be one of his earliest works in bronze and shown at his 1953 Gimpel Fils exhibition. A double-sided H-shaped bronze, made of an assortment of rectangular overlapping forms abutting one another with central planes cut away that allowed the viewer to penetrate the

work and glimpse elements of the other side. However, each side is not a mirror-image of the other which defies easy interpretation as the edges and faces of the blocks slant and are not aligned to a parallel border. The two rectangular bronze forms developed in 1953 were the starting point for a colossal concrete sculpture exhibited in Holland Park in 1954, and the earliest in a series of eight architectural works, the majority of which were shown in the following one-man exhibition in 1956 at Gimpel Fils, London. Patrick Heron and David Lewis specifically praised his architectonic bronzes from this period with Heron pronouncing them as ‘certainly the most wholly non-figurative sculpture being made by a younger English sculptor today’ (Patrick Heron, Round the London Galleries, The Listener, vol.I.V, no.1407, 16 February 1956, p.256.) and Lewis observing that ‘Adams is alone in Britain in the important field of sculptural development, of sturdy sharp-edged and sharply differentiated geometrical masses which are rhythmically and energetically related in space and in light and shadow.’ (Quoted in Alastair Grieve, The Sculpture of Robert Adams, p.61) Maquette No.2 For Triangulated Structure No.1, 1960 presents a development in his sculptural approach to a period where he shifted his focus to welded metal sculpture converging on a strong sense of movement created by the juxtaposition of horizontal planes and vertical rods. The maquette was the basis for a large steel sculpture designed for Battersea Park in 1960 and as Adams later commented with these sculptures ‘I am concerned with energy, a physical property inherent in metal. A major aim I would say, is movement, which I seem to get through asymmetry’ (Quoted in Alastair Grieve, The Sculpture of Robert Adams, p.76). Sphere (1980) by comparison, belonging to Adams last flourishing as an artist, evokes a calmness and stillness contrasting to his work of the early 1960s and focus on movement. Small, rounded with a highly polished surface the ovoid form is suggestive of potential birth, life and completion and most closely echoes the work from the beginning of his career. This charming and personal collection of works by Robert Adams, works spreading throughout his whole career, reflects a deep-set connection and respect between both artists, one that would prove a source of inspiration for Barns-Graham with some of Adams forms mirroring ideas she explored within her own work such as Ultramarine II (2000) which uses Adams’ Rectangular Bronze Form as direct inspiration. There is no doubt that Barns-Graham understood the significance of Robert Adams and his work in the post-war British sculptural canon and would have been forthright at positioning him at the forefront of this school.

Through the 1950s Barns-Graham developed an abstract language that was derived from close observation of the landscape, but which increasingly emphasised geometric forms. In the early 1960s and for over 20 years through her mid-career, she turned away from landscape and based much of her art on careful arrangements of

91cm x 70.5cm (35.75in x 27.75in)

£2,000-3,000 Béla Kádár was a Hungarian painter and one of the most famous painters of the Hungarian avant-garde whose paintings reflected many of the leading artistic movements of the early 20th Century including Der Blaue Reiter, Cubism, Futurism and Metaphysical painting. Like other artists of his day he had been drawn to Paris and Berlin in 1910 to study, before permanently moving to Western Europe in 1918. By 1923 he had his first significant exhibition in Berlin at the invitation of Herwath Walden, who was a significant figure in the German avant-garde being publisher of Der Sturm which featured the works of Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Marc Chagall amongst others. During this exhibition Kádár met Katherine Dreier whose Societe Anonyme was central to bringing the work of the European avant-garde to America, and as a result by 1928 he had held two exhibitions of his work at the Brooklyn Museum of Art in New York.

As a leading figure in the Bloomsbury Group, Duncan Grant played a key role in the development of Modern British art. Following studies in London and Paris, Grant kept abreast of the latest developments in French painting before World War One, including visiting Pablo Picasso’s studio. His work was included in Roger Fry’s landmark Second Post-Impressionist Exhibition held at the Grafton Galleries, London in 1912. In 1916 Grant moved with the artist Vanessa Bell to Charleston, a house near Lewes. From this East Sussex base, Grant maintained a long and prolific career, involving multiple painting trips to the Continent. View between Pillars, Asolo, Italy is believed to have resulted from one such trip. The titular pillars frame an idyllic view over terracotta-tiled villas to distant hills, realised with a varied and rhythmic technique, with a lilac undertone to its warm palette. Charleston is now open to the public and is hosting a major exhibition of Grant’s work until 13 March 2022.

Grizel Niven was a pupil of Henry Moore in the 1930s and began direct carving under his influence. Later in her career she won acclaim for her sculpture for the Dachau Concentration Camp memorial. After hearing Kate Mosse talking on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour about setting up a Women’s Prize for Fiction, Niven offered a cast of a sculpture of Moss as a prize. Her younger brother was the actor David Niven.

This head and shoulders portrait of Mrs. Olive Thelma Exley Bader, née Edwards (1907-1971), wife of Wing-Commander Douglas Bader, D.S.O., D.F.C., was painted at a point when the country was in the depth of the conflict and her husband, the famed and inspirational RAF fighter pilot, had been captured and held prisoner by the Germans. Douglas Bader had become a legend because of his skill and dogged determination, and in refusing to let the loss of both his legs following a plane crash in 1931 prevent him flying Spitfires during the Second World War. He fought valiantly over Dunkirk in the Battle of France. During the Battle of Britain he was given the command of No. 242 Squadron which brought down 67 German aircraft. His luck ran out during a mission over France in 1941, when his plane was damaged and he was captured, but he continued to make multiple escape attempts from countless prisons including Stalag Luft III (the scene of the Great Escape) eventually ending up in Colditz from where he was freed in 1945.

by the general public in a similar vein to Gracie Fields and Vera Lynn and latterly Mrs. Thelma Bader, wife of Wing-Commander Douglas Bader, D.S.O., D.F.C. Jagger also produced two portraits of countesses, one of whom was an ATS ambulance driver. Most of the aforementioned female portraits were reproduced as front cover images for the popular magazine, ‘Women’s Journal’. The portrait images were carefully selected to ‘reflect strength and fortitude during a time of adversity’. This portrait of Mrs. Thelma Bader is arguably the most visually striking and accomplished work of the group. Unusually for Jagger the portrait of Mrs. Thelma Bader was painted at her residence in Bagshot, Surrey. Most of Jagger’s portrait sittings were conducted in his Chelsea studio but it had been virtually destroyed during the London Blitz two years earlier. We are grateful to Timothy Dickson for his kind assistance in cataloguing the current work.

Ivon Hitchens was born into an artistic family and studied at St John’s Wood School of Art and the Royal Academy in London where Clausen and Sargent were among his teachers. Along with contemporaries Ben Nicholson, John Piper and Barbara Hepworth, he joined the Seven and Five Society and the London Group in the 1920s, both of which declared a firm position away from the artistic mainstream of the time. Hitchens had a quiet demeanour but maintained close contact with his contemporaries, holidaying with the Nicholsons, Barbara Hepworth and John Skeaping and exhibiting with Victor Pasmore and Ceri Richards. He did, however, prefer the peaceful surrounds of East Sussex to the hustle and bustle of London. Marrying Mary Cranford Coates in 1935, the war forced him to leave London in 1939 and he bought a caravan and six acres of woodland at Lavington Common near Petworth, East Sussex, whilst keeping his Hampstead studio. The following year a bomb damaged that and the Hitchens family moved permanently to Lavington Common, retaining the caravan which later on in his life served as guest living quarters. It was in the mid to late 1930 that Hitchens departed from his experiments with reductive abstraction to evolve his own personal style of abstract figuration. In art historical terms, the biggest influence felt in Hitchens’ work is that of Cézanne. Not only did he find Cézanne’s approach to deconstructing the motif helpful to his own work but in the same way that Cézanne was able to paint his own artistic vision of Provence, Hitchens dedicated much of his career to depicting his beloved East Sussex. His approach to painting is enormously indebted, as with many twentieth-century artists, to Cézanne’s insistence on conveying the underlying structure of his subject matter. The viewer is always aware of the backbone of his composition and how all components fit together. The vast majority of the Hitchens’ large output is painted on canvases of three specific sizes. In narrow long ‘Cinematoscope’ shape, Hitchens was dedicated to painting the Sussex landscape but he did depart from that to depict the nude and some impressive still lifes, the present canvas being a splendid example. In a conversation with T G Rosenthal, he stated: “I love flowers for

painting. One can read into a good flower picture the same problems that one faces with a landscape, near and far, meaning and movements of shapes and brush strokes. You keep playing with the object.” The flowers appear to have been posed in the artist’s home in East Sussex. Hitchens’ painting style can be described as highly selective, with economical brushstrokes, long sweeping lines of paint and a delicate balance between light and shade, substance and void. He describes his approach to painting volume and space as such: “I am really only interested in the structure of the three-dimensional canvas – the visual structure...It’s really converting the current distance of reality, near and far and half-way, into two dimensions so that only as your eye travels around the passage, the two dimensional passage, dark to light and light to dark, warm to cool, cool to warm or broad up to narrow – as it travels along those things – so it suddenly subconsciously finds that it’s doing something in depth as well.” In a conscious effort to distract the viewer from immediately and instinctively seeking a recognisable figurative pattern, a conventional three dimensional object, Hitchens paints in a way which first demands that we explore the two dimensional canvas: the juxtaposition of cool and warm shades, light and dark tones, a variety of edges, textures and organic lines. Then and only then do we identify the flowers bowing their heads towards the viewer, perhaps the blue sky seen through a window on the left. It is not three-dimensional shading that conveys the presence of the flowers in conventional perspective but rather the layering of fields of colour one on top of each other that implies recession into space. The compositional elements in this flower piece take on a general structural role, and Hitchens, not unlike Cézanne, blurs the lines between still life and landscape. Thus the area on the left becomes a general sign for the sky whereas the dark linear shape on the right could be a wall by a country lane or a fence. Unlike that of some of his contemporaries, Hitchens’ work did not undergo dramatic shifts in style or subject matter so that after he synthesised his approach by around the early to mid 1930s his works can be difficult to place precisely within a chronology.

Mary Newcomb referred to herself as an ‘untaught artist’. She studied Natural Sciences at Reading University and began to paint following her marriage and move to rural Norfolk. Her sensitive imagery is based on keen observation of her natural surroundings, in which field studies are infused with a lyrical romanticism. This can be seen in Autumnal Landscape, which is a rare early work. Her biographer, Christopher Andreae, identified an entry in the artist’s diary in which she explained how she worked: “I paint with the canvas against a wall … I tilt it forward at the base for stability. This seems to give me a foothold actually within the canvas about ¾ down, a little platform of my own, for myself on the stage … so that I have a measured amount of space all round me as an actor might have and feel. This gives me the ability to reach out to left and right and behind my shoulders and I am part of the action, in the trees, on the water, in the air, with the figures, in a landscape, totally involved and living in there.” A major exhibition of Newcomb’s work was held at Compton Verney, Warwickshire in 2021 and her work is being increasingly acquired for UK public collections.

SIR BASIL SPENCE & THE ALLEGRO SUITE Sir Basil Spence was one of the leading British architects and designers of the 20th century, whose monumental or ‘’brutalist’’ style came to define modern architecture in Britain. Noted commissions include designs for several exhibitions including the Sea and Ships Pavilion for the Festival of Britain (1951), Sussex University (1962), Glasgow Airport (1966), and Coventry Cathedral (1954-62), for which he received a knighthood. In 1947 Neil Morris of manufacturers Morris of Glasgow asked Spence to collaborate on a range of plywood furniture, which was to include his Bambi chair and celebrated Cloud table. The result was the Allegro dining suite, which was awarded a Diploma by the Council of Industrial Design in January 1949. In March of the same year it was exhibited at the Glasgow Today and Tomorrow exhibition, where it was commended, and an example of the armchair was commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art, New York for their collection. In September 1949 it was displayed at the Morris stand, also designed by Spence, at the Scottish Industries Exhibition. In 1951 another single armchair was commissioned for the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (V&A CIRC.183-1951).

The manufacture of the Allegro suite found its origins in wartime innovation. The Southampton-based manufacturer of helicopters, Cierva Autogiro, had developed techniques of laminating and shaping wood to make strong and light helicopter blades - these blades were supplied by Morris of Glasgow by 1946, and the same technology was applied to this remarkable suite of furniture soon afterwards. Over one hundred layers of wood were bonded together under high frequency electrical pressure with phenoformaldehyde, a synthetic resin. The wood is then shaped and carved to produce the chairs, table and sideboard. Whilst it is now acknowledged as a landmark in immediate Post-War British furniture design, the immense expense of this manufacturing process meant that it went into extremely limited production, and as a result examples are extremely rare. In 1950 a single chair was advertised at £31 18s 3d, at a time when the average British annual income was just £101.

Yet Bradley’s paintings also touched on ideas that transcend the intervening decades: each is a celebration of family life and community, and is realised with a deep and earnest affection.

From 1965 until her death in 1979, Bradley’s fame increased, earning the artist an MBE and generating BBC and NBC documentaries about her life, and a Northern Ballet adaptation of her work. Yet, Bradley had only resumed a regular painting practice in the early 1960s. Her artistic talent was evident from an early age: at thirteen, she was awarded a scholarship to attend

Blackpool are perhaps her most iconic and charming works. They were generally painted on a larger scale than her other pictures, and this example is arguably one of the foremost examples of her Blackpool reminiscences. The composition evokes a leisurely family day at the beach punctuated by small moments of chaos: to the alarm of three onlooking children, a small boy brandishes a spade behind the Punch & Judy puppeteer, while Miss Carter rushes to intervene. Relishing in the poignancy of life’s quiet, incidental moments is quintessential Bradley.

the late 1950s, as he revelled in the physicality and application

Born in Leamington Spa in 1915, Frost was encouraged to paint by his fellow inmate at Stalag 383, the artist Adrian Heath. It was on Heath’s suggestion that he moved to St Ives in 1946, before studying at Camberwell School of Art in London. On his full-time return to Cornwall in 1950, Frost received early career support from the ‘first generation’ of the modern St Ives School; Ben Nicholson helped to secure a Porthmeor Studio for him, whilst Barbara Hepworth employed him as an assistant. During the 1950s Frost emerged as a leading member of the St Ives ‘middle generation’ of artists, alongside Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, Peter Lanyon and his particular friend Roger Hilton, amongst others. A champion of art’s restorative power, Frost attempted to capture what he described as ‘moments of truth’. This sublimity was often experienced in nature, from observing boats in St Ives harbour to walking through snow in the Yorkshire Dales. In 1991 he recalled Lanyon helping him to understand the Cornish landscape, explaining ‘Peter would drive me all over the place, along the coast and up on the moors…he taught me to experience landscape…you walked over

of his materials. His reputation grew hand-in-hand with that of the ‘St Ives School’ at large and in 1960 he received his first solo show in New York, at the Bertha Schaeffer Gallery. Developments in his work during the 1960s and 1970s could be seen in regular exhibitions mounted by Waddington Galleries in London. In 1989, Frost described this period as ‘one of total confidence…any mark I made seemed to be fine.’ A formal and technical simplicity grew more present in his work. Structural discipline combined with rhythm, tonal warmth and discord and a dynamic rather than literal use of form came to the fore. The ability of acrylic paint to be thinned whilst maintaining its intense colour was deployed with vigour. Teaching posts, including those at the universities of Leeds and Reading, saw Frost live beyond Cornwall for extended periods of time. However, on his retirement in 1974, Frost settled in Newlyn where he lived for the rest of his life. As a link to post-war St Ives and as a highly-successful professional in his own right, Frost was a role model for a younger generation of artists associated with the area, including Trevor Bell and Karl Weschke.

This was to be Frost’s swansong, as he died seven months later. As a pioneer of British abstraction and a leading figure in the St Ives School, Frost’s legacy as an artist and teacher is significant. The work he made during a long, prolific and committed career is characterised by a joie de vivre which brings pleasure to many. At the same time it was founded on a serious exploration of universal principles of existence, which gives his work a lasting importance. As seen in Painting not Painting, the work produced by artists associated with St Ives in the second half of the twentieth-century continues to resonant with the artists of today.

37cm high (including base), 31cm wide (14.5in high (including base), 12.2in wide)

Provenance: Beaux Arts, London. Born in Gera, Germany in 1925, Karl Weschke’s childhood was one of hardship. He found his first sense of belonging with the Hitler Youth and soon after joined the Luftwaffe at the age of 17, which ultimately led to him being taken to the UK as a prisoner of war in 1945. Four years later, Weschke enrolled at Saint Martin’s School of Art in London, and despite only lasting one term, he solidified his connection to the country and put him on course for his future with the St Ives School. While living in London, Weschke met artist Bryan Wynter who encouraged a move to Cornwall in 1955, where Weschke remained for fifty years. From this date, he truly became a painter. Inspired by the natural beauty of the local landscape, he blended this with a hostile painterly application reminiscent of his complex upbringing. This duality became a frequent theme of his work in the 1960s and 1970s, such as in his 1974 painting The Wave, which is both tranquil and quiet, yet dark and brutal with existentialist sensibilities. His work demonstrates the complexity of artists working in St Ives during this period, and how they turned to the landscape in an attempt to understand the changing world around them.

His first encounter with visual art and painting was through attendance at Scouts, where one evening a female artist shared her watercolours with the troop; Ingham fell in love and was inspired to start painting himself. Later called up to the RAF, as an ‘artistic sort of airman,’ he was fortunate enough to be paired in accommodation with a designer who had

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.’

Polarity (1968) was exhibited at Robert Adams’s one-man show at Gimpel Fils in 1968. The works shown were sculptures in steel and several were on a large scale. This was a milestone in his practice, before turning to smaller scale bronze and marble works, perhaps a reflection on the new wave of British sculptors of the ‘New Generation’, including Philip King and Sir Anthony Caro, that had shown at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1965.

“We might well call the scope of his contribution ‘Leonardian,’ so versatile and colorful it has been.” - Walter Gropius, 1946

LÁSZLÓ MOHOLY-NAGY (HUNGARIAN 1895-1946)

Described by the art critic Peter Schjeldahl as “relentlessly experimental” due to his innovative work in painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, writing, theatre and film, László Moholy-Nagy was the epitome of what the Bauhaus represented working alongside the likes of Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer.

COMPOSITION, 1938 initialled and dated (lower right), and inscribed ‘For Molly’ (lower left), pen, ink and pastel on paper 27.8cm x 21.4cm Provenance: A gift from the Artist to Jack & Molly Pritchard, England and thence by descent to the present owners.

£5,000-7,000

In 1937, on the recommendation of Gropius, Moholy-Nagy moved to Chicago and became the director of the newly formed IIT Institute of Design known as the ‘New Bauhaus’. It would go on to become one of his most significant accomplishments and what historian Elizabeth Siegel named ‘his overarching work of art’. The present work is dated 1938, a year after he moved to Chicago. It was a gift to Isokon Furniture Company founder Jack Pritchard and his wife Molly. Moholy-Nagy and his wife Sibyl moved to the Lawn Road Flats in London (also known as the ‘Isokon Building’), where the Pritchards were resident, after arriving in Britain from Germany in May 1935. Moholy-Nagy designed numerous promotional materials for Isokon, including the logo for the Isokon firm itself, based on the outline of a plywood chair. Composition uses the vocabulary of de Stijl and Constructivism in its primary colors, line and simple geometric forms. It embodies the abstract language that Moholy-Nagy was aiming towards in his intention to be free from elements redolent of natur,e in order to work only with the particular characteristics of colours and their inter-relationship. In this way Moholy-Nagy is investigating a number of the themes in this work that he had been exploring in London prior to his move to America. By exploring the limitless potential of colour and simple forms, he hoped to instil Composition with a sense of the enigmatic and emotion, stating ‘My belief is that mathematically harmonious shapes, executed precisely, are filled with emotional quality, and that they represent the perfect balance between feeling and intellect’ (‘Abstract of an artist’, in R.

309 § VASSILAKIS TAKIS (GREEK 1925-2019) SIGNALS, 1968 series 3, number 96, titled and numbered on ‘Unlimited Bath Widcome Manor’ label (to underside), enameled aluminium, chrome-plated metal, plastic, glass and electric system 220cm high, 23cm wide, 26cm deep (86.7in high, 9in wide, 10.25in deep) “It’s only about revealing, in one way or another, the sensory vibrations or the interlacing potentials for energy that exist in the universe […] I think that’s the role of an artist” (Takis in an interview in G. Brett & M. Wellen (ed.s), Takis, Tate Modern, London and tour, exh. cat., 2019) Panayiotis Vassilakis, known as Takis, is considered one of the most important figures of international contemporary art. Despite having no formal training and not beginning to practice art until the age of twenty, Takis became one of the leading artists of the twentieth and twenty-first century, in particular for his development of kinetic art from the late 1950s. His early work in the 1940s was strongly influenced by Picasso and Giacometti – their exaggerated, caricatural figures were particularly interesting to the young artist. The 1950s saw Takis begin his instantly recognizable Signals series, one which he returns to throughout his career. It is said that his inspiration for this series arose while waiting for a train and becoming fascinated by the trackside signals, which provoked him to reject representational art and pursue sculpture that includes light and movement. These sculptures are imposing, otherworldly creations topped with metal shapes or flashing lights which sway in response to vibrations around them. This series would go on to include motors, bulbs, and fireworks and demonstrates his interest in researching movement and energies. His interest in the interlacing potentials for energy was so prolific that he was awarded a scholarship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Center of Advanced Visual Studies where he continued his studies into electromagnetic forces and the importance of energy binding us together. We are delighted to offer the important number 96 from Series 3 of the Signals series dating to 1968. This piece comprises two long enamelled aluminium poles standing over two metres high with flashing green, amber, and orange lights to the top. These long, flexible rods bend and move to create an almost musical harmony of colour and vibration. Takis’s legacy is clear from his extensive career: from his first one-man show in London in 1955 to his retrospective at Tate Modern in 2019, months before his death at the age of 93. Not only remembered for his important contribution as a visual artist, in 1969 he was also a co-founder of the Art Workers’ Coalition who fought for economic and political rights for artists in New York. Moreover in 1986 he founded the Takis Foundation in Athens, a foundation whose mission is to research and develop the arts and sciences, continuing his work and ensuring his legacy. The works of Panayiotis Vassilakis are important both in the development of a new aesthetic language exploring vibrations and light, and in their scientific exploration of energy. His work, and particularly his celebrated Signals series can be found in many important public collections such as Tate Modern in London, MoMA in New York, and in the UNESCO art collection in Paris.

“ At Artifort, I started using new foam and rubber from Italy and a light metallic frame, combined with “stretch”

In parallel to this trend, a new furniture aesthetic developed under the name Memphis in Milan.

French ceramicist Pierre Bayle was considered one of the foremost ceramic artists of his generation, known for his beautifully crafted and intricate terra-sigillata smoke fired vessels. He obtained the first prize at the Biennale of Châteauroux in 1981. In 2002 he was was honoured with the Liliane Bettencourt Prize and was decorated Chevalier de Arts et des Lettres. Bayle’s work is now part of many of the leading institutional and private collections of ceramics around the world including the Musée de Sèvres, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs and the Victoria & Albert Museum. In an interview Bayle stated ‘I spend much time looking at nature. Certain potters have a mystic approach to life, worry about the Cosmos. I only look at plants, insects, nature, the bodies of people. My pots have bellies, necks, breasts, shoulder …’. He also explained: ‘I never sell a pot I do not love’. - Pierre Bayle, C.

“The ears [of a hare] are really able to convey far more than a squint in an eye of a figure, or a grimace on the face of a model” (Barry Flanagan in conversation with Judith Bumpus in: Exh. Cat., London, Tate Gallery, Barry Flanagan: Prints 1970-1983, 1986, p. 15) Barry Flanagan and the hare are indelibly linked, having first appeared in Flanagan’s work in 1979 and continuing to preoccupy him for the next 30 years. He spoke of his sculptures of hares in an interview with Judith Bumpus on the occasion of his exhibition at the 1982 Venice Biennale: ‘Thematically the choice of the hare is really quite a rich and expressive sort of mode; the conventions of the cartoon and the investment of human attributes into the animal world is a very well practised device, in literature and film etc., and is really quite poignant, and on a practical level, if you consider what conveys situation and meaning and feeling in a human figure, the range of expression is in fact far more limited than the device of investing an animal -a hare especially - with the expressive attributes of a human being.’ (Barry Flanagan in conversation with Judith Bumpus, Tate Gallery, London, Barry Flanagan: Prints 1970-1983, exh. cat., 1986, p. 93) Instantly recognisable as a work by Flanagan, Prom, conceived in 2001, is a quintessential work by the artist - full of movement, energy and joyfulness, and reflects the artist’s interest in dance and music. Flanagan collaborated with the Strider dance assemblage in London, choreographing two dance performances, and movement and dance elements are forever present in his hares. Furthermore, Flanagan’s work of this later period is some of the most tactile that he ever produced. Indeed Prom invites the observer to pick it up to handle its smooth linear forms and contouring lines, inviting the viewer into the frivolity and wit of the work and epitomising the elements for which Flanagan is best known.

£8,000-12,000

Boaz Vaadia was an internationally renowned sculptor known for hand-cutting slabs of bluestone and slate and then stacking them thus, creating male and female forms. In 1985 he created Adam, named after a guest who was staying in his loft, which was his first such figural sculpture. This would mark a significant moment in his oeuvre, and a development into a distinct new sculptural style that would become synonymous of his work. It set him on a path to international prominence and his personal totems, evoking ritual and primal forces, with an instinctive nod to his homeland but without overt religious connotations, grace prominent private and public collections around the world including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, the Time Warner Building, New York, the Israel Museum, Jerusalem and the private collection of Elton John.

“ When you put something on the Internet, it’s mine.” Petra Cortright

372 PETRA CORTRIGHT (AMERICAN 1986-) LINKBOYLINKSBOYLINKS, 2014 digital painting on anodized aluminium 163cm x 122cm (64in x 48in) Provenance: Simchowitz Gallery, Los Angeles; Private Collection, London.

£10,000-20,000

Petra Cortright has been called ‘the Monet of the 21st century’ and is considered one of the foremost artists of the ‘Post Internet’ and ‘Net Art’ movements, known for her digitally created art works across multiple mediums including You Tube videos, digital paintings as well as projections on metallic and archival surfaces. Her works questions new technology and its effects on contemporary aesthetics, society and culture. Lifted from Google Images and Pinterest, Cortright creates her paintings by manipulating these images on photoshop and reintegrating them into ‘digital’ paint, morphed and layering them on top of one another, which are then presented as still-life paintings as with Boylinks.

Massimiliano Adami takes inorganic waste matter and transforms it by setting disparate elements with the more organic medium of foam. He reappropriates discarded obsolete pieces by combining them to create new forms in the tradition of assemblage and found objects or ready-mades. Adami’s intention is always to create functional works that serve a purpose. In 2005 he began a project entitled Modern Fossils in which his recycled elements were placed in polyurethane foam, through which he cut a cross-section. In 2007 his experimentation led him to create a series of Meteore Hanging Chandeliers which were similar to his Modern Fossils. These incorporated lighting elements that he angled on the same axis as the found object that accommodated it.

CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR BUYERS (UK) These Conditions of Sale and the Saleroom Notices as well as specific Catalogue terms, set out the terms on which we offer the Lots listed in this Catalogue for sale. By registering to bid and/or by bidding at auction You agree to these terms, we recommend that You read them carefully before doing so. You will find a list of definitions and a glossary at the end providing explanations for the meanings of the words and expressions used. 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. In these Conditions the words “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon & Turnbull Ltd, the singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. “You”, “Your” means the Buyer. Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller.

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

21.2

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 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. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys. (c) Alcohol: 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. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given. (d) 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. (e) 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. (f) 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. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item.

THE PURCHASE PRICE For each Lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 25% of the Hammer Price of each Lot up to and including £300,000, plus 20% from £300,001 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 may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen).

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. Please see D.2(e) for the conditions to be fulfilled before the VAT charged on the Hammer Price may be cancelled or refunded upon exporting from the UK. (a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium 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 UK and is not operating under a Margin Scheme. (b) Lots affixed with (‡): A reduced rate of Import Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the UK. (c) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of 20% of Import Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwit the UK and do not fall within the reduced rate category. (d) Lots affixed with [Ω] or ‡ when these lots are released to buyers in the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay us Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. the import VAT at the rates noted above on the hammer price. The buyer should also note that the appropriate rate will be that in force on the date of our release and not that in force at the date of auction or payment. (e) Export from the UK: For lots

offered under the VAT Margin Scheme and lots with [Ω] or ‡ symbols attached; you may be eligible to have a VAT refund in certain circumstances if the lot is exported. Should you show us proof of export within three months of collection a VAT refund may be arranged. No VAT amounts will be refunded where the total refund is under £100. Bank/transfer charges relating to any refund will be borne by the buyer and will not be reimbursed. Please also note that all customs formalities of the destination country are the responsibility of the buyer. 3. A RTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY (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.

We make 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 we, in our reasonable opinion, deem 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: (a) 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 (b) 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 our reasonable opinion) to have caused damage to the Lot or likely to have caused loss of value to the Lot; or (c) 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: (a) notify us 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 (b) return the Lot to our 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. We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements. We 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 us and the original purchaser of the Lot. We 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. 3.
