PHILIP SMITH April 2022
n 12 January 1867, Denmark and Japan signed a treaty which was seen as the commencement of official relations between the nations, and the starting point for personal contacts and flourishing commercial links. Denmark: Design was an exhibition conceived to celebrate 150 years of collaboration, inspiration and friendship between the two countries. Design was an area where both Japanese and Danish taste had many similarities, with both countries placing an emphasis on handicrafts and individual artisan production prioritising the production of works of quality over quantity. The current collection of works took centre stage in an exhibition, which travelled to 12 venues in Japan, South Korea and New Zealand between 2016 to 2021, showcasing works from the ‘golden era’ of Danish design. The exhibition highlighted Denmark as a powerhouse of exceptional design, producing countless masters in the field following World War II, including pioneers such as Hans Wegner, Finn Juhl and Arne Jacobsen who produced a large quantity of outstanding and iconic furniture designs and works of art. Midcentury Danish design represents objects of quality and simple beauty, underpinned by a deep understanding of the technical aspects of each work and it’s functionality, that remains a constant in Danish design to the present day. Presenting furniture, lighting, jewellery and daily objects under one roof the exhibition relayed a wider approach in Denmark which advocated that everyone in its society should have a good quality and comfortable home, based on its approach as a welfare state. Placing these objects together we hope that they convey some of the simplicity, functionality and elegance from the golden age of Danish design that proved a perfect fit for the sleek lines and modernity of a new International Style of architecture that came to the fore in the 1940s and 1950s.
This exhibition visited the following venues over the course of the six-year tour.

THE LONG RANGE BOMBARDMENT OF DUNKIRK, CIRCA 1918
46
his major work is the long-lost The Long Range Bombardment of Dunkirk which has recently come to light in a private collection. As Elizabeth Knowles has explained ‘Ernest [Procter] made relatively few major oil paintings of war subjects, perhaps the most notable being The Long Range Bombardment of Dunkirk from sketches and notes made on the spot. (Elizabeth Knowles, ‘Ernest Procter ARA 1886-1935’, Dod Procter RA 1892-1982 and Ernest Procter ARA 1886-1935, Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 1990, p. 32).
from the period (see the catalogue entry at www.lyonandturnbull. com for links to further information).
Ernest Procter was born in Tynemouth, Northumberland into a Quaker family. He trained at Leeds Art School and then under Stanhope Forbes in Newlyn, where he met the artist Doris ‘Dod’ Shaw (1890-1972). They furthered their studies at the Académie Colarossi in Paris and married in 1912; Dod was thereafter known by her married name and their son Bill was born the following year. The couple worked and exhibited together, most significantly on the decoration of the Kokine Palace, Rangoon, Burma in 1919-20 and in joint exhibitions held at The Fine Art Society and the Leicester Galleries in 1913 and 1926 respectively.
Long Range Bombardment of Dunkirk is thought to be an extraordinarily personal and direct account of the major German offensive against the French city which took place over 20 to 23 March 1918, culminating in the use of a German long-range gun situated twenty miles away. Indeed, the painting could act as an illustration of the diary entry for 24 March 1918 written by Procter’s friend Molly Evans (1890-1974), who served as a Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse with the Friends’ Ambulance Unit based in the local Queen Alexandra Hospital. This concludes ‘unending stream of sorting people, carrying bedsteads, personal belongings, mixed up. Glorious sunny day. Queer scene. Frenchmen, lunatics, Chinese carrying things on bamboo sticks, nuns, English sisters, patients, officers, orderlies, all collecting ‘goods’, a procession of Chinese carrying 7 coffins through it all. Crashing shells at intervals. A weary & never-to-be-forgotten day.’ (see the catalogue entry at www.lyonandturnbull.com for links to further information).
Following the Procters’ return from Burma, Ernest established an art school in Newlyn with Harold Harvey (1874-1971), which they ran until the mid-1920s. Procter played a leading role in the Cornish art world, whilst maintaining a high profile in London. He was a member of the St Ives Society of Artists and Newlyn Society of Artists, joined the New English Art Club in 1929 and was elected an Associate Member of the Royal Academy three years later. He was best known for the allegorical figure compositions and landscapes which were regularly shown in group exhibitions such as those at the Royal Glasgow Institute, Royal Hibernian Academy and the International Society of Sculptors, Painters & Gravers. In 1934, Procter was appointed Director of Studies in Design and Craft at Glasgow School of Art, but he died the following year. Memorial exhibitions were mounted at the Leicester Galleries and Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle.
Seen from the point of view of the fleeing civilians whom Procter was in the region to aid, he depicts the nearby dunes strewn with refugees and members of the military, streaming away from the city which burns in the background. The towers of the church of Saint Éloi and the town hall are visible in the skyline – of which an annotated sketch is in the Imperial War Museum’s archive (War Artist Archive: Ernest Procter, ART/WA1/298, ‘Belgium misc’ portfolio). The image is full of sensitively observed human relationships, between adults and children of all ages, interspersed with animals. Children play whilst grown-ups survey the scene before them, overlooked by a cross on a dune to the upper left, which may refer to Christ’s crucifixion at Calvary. Sunshine and shadow are captured over the flow of the dunes, whilst a use of bold colour, including red, green, pink and orange, attracts the eye throughout the complex composition.
In line with his religious beliefs, Procter The importance of Long Range Bombardment declared himself a conscientious objector of Dunkirk was recognised immediately. It on the outbreak of World War One. The was reproduced in colour and singled out for Friends’ Ambulance Unit was established soon extensive praise in an article about Ernest and afterwards by a group of young Quakers, as a Dod Procter in Colour of April 1919, in which means for civilian volunteers to contribute to its author wrote that, despite the tragedy of its the war effort in a non-violent way. The Unit subject matter: travelled to Dunkirk in October 1914 under the Ernest Procter in his Friends’ ‘I…consider his “Long Range Bombardment of auspices of the British Red Cross Society and Dunkirk” a really remarkable picture…To begin the Order of St John of Jerusalem.

Knight was born in Nottingham. He trained at Nottingham School of Art where he met Laura Johnson (1877-1970) - and in various Parisian ateliers. The couple spent time in the community of artists based at Staithes, a fishing village in Yorkshire before marrying in 1903; thereafter Laura established an international reputation under her married surname. After travelling in the Netherlands and exhibiting in London together, the Knights moved to Cornwall in 1907. They became key figures in the ‘Newlyn School’ and, despite moving to London in 1919, regularly returned to paint in Cornwall. Following the outbreak of World War One, Knight registered as a conscientious objector and worked as an agricultural labourer. After the war he became known for his portraits, interiors and landscapes, which he showed in group exhibitions including at the Royal Academy from 1896 until 1961; he was elected a member in 1937 and was President of the Nottingham Society of Artists between 1936 and 1945. The Knights were based in Malvern, Worcestershire during World War Two, with Knight dying nearby in 1961.
Clifftop View, Land’s End is a beautiful example of the images Knight painted of the Cornish coast, in this case the most westerly part of mainland England. Knight’s high viewpoint does full justice to the dramatic granite cliffs, leading the eye from the detailed foreground to the high horizon in the distance. Waves follow the contours of invisible coves and bays on which bright sunshine and dense shadow play. Knight’s excellent draughtsmanship and sensitivity to colour and tone is clear. It bears witness to the declaration in a 1921 article in The Studio about Harold and Laura Knight’s work that the former ‘has devoted himself to the study of the effect of daylight, both in the open and indoors and he has mastered the difficulties created by the subtle variations of tone and colour due to the pervading light. This enables him to introduce into his pictures delicate and beautiful tone-gradations without sacrificing the brilliancy and freshness of his colour-schemes.’ (Ernest G. Halton, ‘Foreword’, Modern Paintings Number One: The Work of Laura and Harold Knight, The Studio Ltd, London, 1921, p. 5).

Winifred and Ben Nicholson’s children, Jake, Kate and Andrew, were born in 1927, 1929 and 1931 respectively.

Here, Kate is depicted in profile, smiling as she holds out her arms in a game. Jake is viewed from behind, his spade laid down in front of him. The tide is low and the boundaries of the fields nearby come together in the centre of the hill in the middle distance. A keen sense of place is heightened by the inclusion of sand in the surface of the painting, which glitters and adds a sensory layer to the idyllic scene of childhood. This work may have been painted during a holiday on the Northumberland coast in 1933.

Ben and Winifred Nicholson purchased Bankshead in Cumbria in 1923 and moved in the following year. Winifred described it as ‘a grey farmstead, a little house built out of the Roman Wall stones, a byre and a barn, on the line of the Roman Wall overlooking the great valley of the Irthing river and over towards the bluegrey fells. It was to be sold with a few fields falling down to the river. It welcomed us and we bought it at once.’ (as quoted in Judith Collins, ‘Introduction’, A Painters’ Place: Banks Head, Cumberland 1924-31, Abbot Hall Art Gallery with Redcliffe Press, Bristol, 1991, p. 5). Jake Nicholson believed one of the reasons his parents were drawn to Bankshead was the view, which ‘was constantly changing. One day, just before rain, the fells look so close you can almost touch them. Another time they will disappear in the mist so that you wouldn’t know they were there at all... Each window of the house was like a picture frame holding the view beyond.’ (Jake Nicholson, ‘What Does an Artist Look for in a Painting Place?’, A Painters’ Place, op.cit., p. 10). Winifred and Ben had studios at opposite ends of the house; hers looked west across the farmyard, whilst Ben’s looked east. It is this view, looking towards Northumberland, which can be seen in this delicate drawing. Bankshead was to remain Winifred’s base for the rest of her life.

Jake explained ‘he would build up a serious comment about art or life, then would suddenly pull the rug from under your feet with a pithy joke – perhaps about ginger biscuits.’ (Jake Nicholson, op.cit., p. 39).
Nicholson made his first relief in December 1933 whilst in Paris visiting Winifred and their children. He reported this in a letter to Barbara Hepworth a day later, in which he wrote ‘I carved it all day long, it…looks like a primitive game. Jake and Kate came in at various stages and we rolled a marble about it.’ (letter of 12 December 1933 as quoted in Jeremy Lewison, Ben Nicholson, Tate Gallery, London, 1993, p. 216 in entry

This work was included in the recent exhibition Ben Nicholson: From the Studio at Pallant House Gallery, Chichester, which examined the inspiration the artist found in still-life objects throughout his career. It is one of a series in which Nicholson enjoyed the form and implied personality of a spanner from a set that he purchased from a plumber in 1973, that were ‘patinated with age and use, strong and weighty shapes full of character’ (Norbert Lynton, Ben Nicholson, Phaidon Press Ltd, London, 1993, p. 208).

In his day René Prou was one of the major figures of the Art Deco movement, but one of the significant trademarks of Prou’s work is that ‘there is no identifiable Prou style’. He took the core ideas of the Deco movement, and moulded them to create his own personal spin on them, recreating his approach to design depending on the project and purpose of each commission. This included cabins for the Orient Express, interiors for nine ocean liners, rooms for Tokyo’s Mitsukoshi department store, and the dining room of New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. He also served as professor at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs.

Anton Stankowski was considered a leader in graphic design and a significant figure in 20th Century photography. A central tenet of his work was examining ‘objects from unusual perspectives’, and in deconstructing the shapes, movement and lines these objects created so that they would be understood as ‘processes or behaviours’ rather than as an object. Focus on specific details and prominent features of the object were central to both his graphic art and photography, as in the current work. He would go on to create his own renowned Theory of Design, and hold an influential position in both the design and photography circles in central Europe in the Post-War years.

117 Elisabeth Frink’s Fallen Man is part of a highlyimportant theme in her practice, in which her childhood experience of World War Two, fascination with the nude male figure and existential concerns about mankind are brought together. Frink was nine years old when war was declared. Her father was a cavalry officer in the British Army and served abroad for most of the conflict. Much has been made of Frink’s time in Suffolk near to Bomber Command air-bases during this period. As she explained: ‘there was a whole bunch of very jolly Polish airmen. They’d go off in their flying machines – and sometimes they got killed. We were right next door to an operational aerodrome and sometimes we’d see the planes coming home on fire.’ (as quoted in Edward Lucie-Smith and Elisabeth Frink, Frink: A Portrait, Bloomsbury, London, 1994, p.15).
Many works of the early 1960s explored the themes of men in flight, men in space, spinning, falling and fallen men and eventually bird men, through which Frink explored the concept of men at war. Reviewing them later in her career, Frink declared: ‘These sculptures were the nearest I got at that time to subjective ideas of the concept of a man involved in some kind of activity other than just being. So my earlier figures were not at all sensuous; they were too much involved with fractured wings or the debris of war and heroics. By this last phrase I mean individual courage.’ (as quoted in Ratuszniak, A. (ed.), op.cit., p. 72). In Fallen Man, the anonymous figure is depicted without stand or plinth. The point of direct contact between the work and the surface on which it is placed is key to conveying its concept. Facial features are suggested in the outsized head, atop the splayed and disfigured body. A sense of trauma, pathos and vulnerability is enhanced by the rough handling of the plaster from which it was cast.
Edward Mullins has written about further sources of inspiration for this area of exploration: ‘The original impulse, in fact, was to make sculpture of a figure falling from space. The source here is dual. Since a child she has experienced dreams of herself falling and the sensation remains a powerful one in her imagination. More specifically, during the late 50’s she came across photographs of the French bird-man, Valentin, depicting him before he jumped (eventually he jumped to his death) helmeted and goggled and decked out in his special flying-suit with voluminous wings. This is the principal visual source of the various Bird-Men.’ (Edward Mullions, ‘Introduction’, The Art of Elisabeth Frink, Lund Humphries, London, 1972, unpaginated). Frink’s work defies precise interpretation. She declared: ‘what I’m doing is trying to set up a kind of encounter with the spectator, a dialogue between my sculptures and the public. People have to add part of themselves to make it work; they have to look into it as well as at it.’ (as quoted in Edward Lucie-Smith and Elisabeth Frink, op.cit., p. 64).
“
The very fact of someone falling in space makes me feel nervous. I very often dream of falling through space myself. It becomes a nightmare and is very frightening. So it is always with me, this particular fear, which I think is a good thing because it starts off sculpture; it gives a sense of urgency which is important to me. Elisabeth Frink quoted by Huw Wheldon, Monitor: An Anthology, Macdonald, London, 1962. p. 28.

FEMALE WINGED FIGURE
121
203 § LYNN CHADWICK C.B.E. R.A. (BRITISH 1914-2003) MAQUETTE VI FEMALE WINGED FIGURE, 1973, CAST 1987 numbered, dated and stamped ‘CHADWICK / 673 / 5/6 / B’, bronze with black patina 49cm high (19.25in high) Provenance: Christie’s, London, 26 March 1993, Lot 119; Private Collection, London. Literature: Strachan, W. J., ‘The Sculptor and his Drawings, no. 5: Lynn Chadwick’, The Connoisseur, no.179, August 1974, p.285 (another cast illustrated); Farr, D., and É. Chadwick, Lynn Chadwick Sculptor: With a Complete Illustrated Catalogue 1947-2005, Lund Humphries, Aldershot, 2006, p.297, no.673 (another cast illustrated). This work is the female figure from Maquette VI Two Winged Figures of 1973, which Chadwick reconceived and cast as a sculpture in its own right in 1987. As a result, its origins lie in a series of nine such maquettes, made between 1973 and 1974. Chadwick’s biographer, Edward Lucie-Smith, has explained about these works: ‘the male and female are completely detached from one another physically, existing as separate entities. At the beginning of the development of this series, the figures have short wings and are supported on three legs. The wings grow, until they touch the ground and the figures can then stand on two legs only, with the wings supplying additional stability. Chadwick evidently liked the effect made by this and by the time the final group in the series is reached the wings are so sweepingly long that they resemble the trailing sleeves of exotic court costumes.’ (Edward Lucie-Smith, Chadwick, Lypiatt Studio, Stroud, 1997, p.98). Having established a foundry at his home, Lypiatt Park near Stroud in Gloucestershire, in 1971, Chadwick was able to oversee the creative process from conception to casting and patination himself. By taking the independence of the male and female figures in the Two Winged Figures maquette series to its logical conclusion and concentrating solely on the latter, in Maquette VI Female Winged Figure, Chadwick presents his distinctive realisation of the female form. Here is the gendered triangular-shaped head (a rectangular head signified masculinity) and the smooth refinement of modelling of breasts and abdomen for which many of his female figures are celebrated. Sensuality is combined with majesty and vulnerability with the presentation of nudity, the imposing, full-length wings drawn back and together and the legs which taper away from the fulsome torso. This work illustrates Michael Bird’s observation of Chadwick’s practice of the early 1970s, that saw the ‘fusion of erotic naturalism and schematised geometries’ which softened ‘the tense symmetries of Chadwick’s earlier idiom of confrontation and conjunction.’ (Michael Bird, Lynn Chadwick, Lund Humphries, Farnham, 2014, p.144).

arry Bertoia remains to this day one of the most important artists and designers of the twentieth century, most recognisable for his sculptures that embrace wire and sound. Born in San Lorenzo in 1915, Bertoia moved to the United States of America at the age of 15 to begin his artistic career in Detroit. A few years after arriving in America, Bertoia enrolled at Cranbrook Academy of Art where he specialised in jewellery-making and metalsmithing, and it was in these formative years that he developed an understanding of and love for metal, which would go on to become his primary medium. Bertoia found the malleability of the material, and specifically wire, allowed him to create almost instantaneous creations and to visualise an idea as it was forming in the mind. As a sculptor and designer Bertoia was interested in and passionate about conceptualising nature and space in his work, which also found its way into his furniture designs such as the remarkably popular bird chairs (1952) which remain highly coveted to this day. It is no surprise then that he became the head of the metalsmith department at Cranbrook before he moved on to work with Charles and Ray Eames in 1943, where he continued his study of welding. Throughout the 1940s and into the mid1950s, Bertoia’s exploration of metalwork and other industrial materials, such as slate, continued as his experimentations in nature expanded further into a search through the

such as the present example (lot 217), express a harmonious exploration of space and nature that allows the viewer to ponder and interpret his abstraction of form. We observe a sense of catching a fleeting moment in time that is perhaps reminiscent of a bird in motion or perhaps an investigation into an innovative architectural feat in the cosmos.

£3,000-5,000
In 1991 MICHAEL CRAIG-MARTIN created a series of monochromatic paintings, covered with uniformed rows of white dashes, suspending working with images of objects for a period. These works continued his interest in the idea of the repeated constituent, as Richard Cork observed, which he had already explored in his Venetian-blind series. Craig-Martin’s intention was to make the most basic works he could imagine, with the ambition that every segment of the painting matched each other, and therefore that the paintings would only stand for themselves. This period in his oeuvre culminated in a set of nine large identical works being shown at the Waddington Galleries in 1991, and in creating this body of work he saw himself as a composer, with the ‘dash’ paintings being reminiscent of musical scores sending meticulous but unreadable messages.

£3,000-5,000
Instantly recognisable for his signature pouring of paint onto a tilted surface, the work of abstract artist IAN DAVENPORT occupies a significant place in contemporary British art. These early paintings date from the formative period of his career between graduating from Goldsmiths College in 1988, and his first solo exhibition in 1990 and Turner Prize nomination in 1991. His abstract paintings are created by pouring layers of paint onto prepared canvases or board making complex colour combinations that visualise the artist’s fascination with colour and its importance in establishing the boundaries between representation and abstraction, evoking the processes of the Post-painterly Abstraction movement in America in the 1950s and 60s. Often employing unconventional materials such as electric fans and nails, Davenport’s work explores the materiality of paint as a subject matter in its own right, creating compositions that considers the act of painting as well as the importance of visual harmony.

The ‘Door Rugs’ came about as a collaboration between Hume and the contemporary rug designer Christopher Farr, and are based on the artist’s iconic ‘Door’ paintings as in Lot 259. As Farr notes what we have is ‘A door on the floor…’ where ‘metaphor and irony go hand in hand.’ Hume oversaw the process of rug making, including ‘the precise hand-carving of the two circles and rectangles of the design…in order to produce perfect proportion and tone.

‘When I was asked by Zeev Aram to design a piece of furniture for his exhibition, my first thought was, which is the ‘simplest’ furniture – a table. So I designed a table. I wanted it to be very basic, as though a child had drawn it, like a kitchen table. Then I chose to have it made from thick plywood, to make the legs from ply, and turn the ‘constructed’ surface to the front of the table, to show how it was made. The construction of the corners is always the same, as a table can be made to order by simply giving the size of the table top and the height. It can be plain wood, sealed, or stained white, black and primary colours, on their own or a combination – red, yellow and blue. Later I decided that a lamp which matched the table would be interesting, and designed that too.’ (Peter Blake, 1986 quoted in accompanying Aram Design Limited catalogue)

Exhibited: London, Waddington Galleries, William Turnbull, 1998, cat. no. 9 (another cast).
£25,000-35,000
In its suggestion of the human figure in the simplest possible form, Figure of 1984 simultaneously references some of Turnbull’s works of the late 1940s and early 1950s whilst linking to further exploration of the theme in sculptures such as Figure 2 and Small Female Figure of the early 1990s. Indeed, Turnbull returned to the human form throughout his long and distinguished career, through materials including plaster, bronze and steel (sometimes painted), with degrees of representation and abstraction ebbing and flowing over the decades. In this work, an elongated torso is extended to incorporate legs and neck, from which open, curved arms protrude. The sculptor’s touch is clear in pronounced modelling throughout, with suggested facial features on a head-like form. Although at first glance a work based on a frontal view, the viewer cannot comprehend the full scope of its three dimensions without moving around it, to see the extent of the arms’ reach and the rhythm, open-ness and implied welcome of their stance. The work’s various profiles are as important as its physical form. Figure illustrates Patrick Elliott’s summation of Turnbull’s practice, namely that ‘his work invariably combined formal simplicity with surface complexity along with poise and balance: these remained the principal characteristics of his entire oeuvre.’ (Patrick Elliott, ‘Turnbull, William [Bill] (1922-2012)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, on-line version of 1 January 2017, accessed 25 March 2022). Turnbull combined ambiguity with open-ended intention in much of his work, by which he hoped to stimulate multiple references, ideas and connections when it was experienced. As Amanda A. Davidson concluded in her 2005 catalogue raisonné of Turnbull’s sculpture ‘the conversation between the artist and their materials inevitably comes to an end when the process of making the work is completed. However, the conversation between the viewers and the work never ceases.’ (Amanda A. Davidson, op.cit., p. 74).

relationship between my works and their titles. The titles, even in these cases, are intended as a lead into understanding the work.” (Kenneth Whisson, 19 September 2000).
Born in Lilydale, outside Melbourne in 1927, Whisson emerged from the influential school of figurative expressionism after studying under the Russian émigré artist Danila Vassilieff (1897-1958). Since then his paintings have evolved, combining influences from this formative period, whilst looking forward to an increasing interaction between solid shapes and linear descriptions as in Modern City Seen From A Great Distance. In explanation of his work, Whisson described: “The best, perhaps only, way to relate to my paintings and in general to the kind of modern paintings that move between being and non-being or better, and more exactly, between what sees and what is seen, is to not look for what is not there. To put it more simply, perhaps, my paintings succeed in their intention when the images, that which is clearly intended as image, is also meaningful as form, but fail if that which is intended only as form is seen also as image.... I should add that there is sometimes only a fairly oblique
In Modern City Seen From A Great Distance the scene is broken down into numerous viewpoints scattered across the canvas, with landscape elements drawn in paint. It is not meant to be one particular place, but rather an imaginary landscape with the intention of re-counting a series of architectural shapes, including components that might stand in for bushes or trees. The current work is in a classic later Whisson style, where the white canvas has become an important element of the whole composition. Memory also plays a large part in Whisson’s work, and his retreat into his own childhood in rural Lilydale and artistic past, provide rich motifs for his paintings. These ideas and experiences of displacement, following his relocation to Perugia in Italy in the late 1970s, continue throughout his work and help to elaborate on his personal and unconventional aesthetic that alludes to a heightened and perhaps even sometimes a hallucinogenic reality.

DELIGHTING THE EYE: WORKS FROM THE ESTATE OF WENDY RAMSHAW endy Ramshaw (1939- 2018) was one of Britain’s most celebrated jewellers, known most notably for her instantly recognisable ‘ring sets’. Born in Sunderland on 26 May 1939, Ramshaw’s path was set at age twelve after a visit to the Festival of Britain, which took place in the summer of 1951, and inspired her to pursue an arts education. She began her studies in 1956 in fabric design at Newcastle’s College of Art, followed by the University of Reading where she studied for a teaching diploma and met her partner and fellow artist David Watkins. She then attended the Central School of Art and Design from 1969- 1970, where she undertook postgraduate studies in jewellery. Early in her career, while making ‘self-assembly’ paper jewellery, Ramshaw was noticed by fashion designer Mary Quant, who started to stock her pieces from the early 1960s. By 1970, she had achieved widespread acclaim with her first solo exhibition in London’s Pace Gallery, where she presented several pieces that became her signature deconstructive, sculptural style. From 1977, Ramshaw had over thirty exhibitions including a retrospective at the Victoria & Albert Museum in 1982. Ramshaw’s pieces are of seminal importance in the development of modern British jewellery, and her approach offers us a new way to look at and appreciate jewellery. When placed upon her modern stands, she is encouraging us to question what we think we know about jewellery, and to consider them as a unified sculptural object. As Ramshaw said: “Most of my jewellery is made in parts or sections, so that the owner can share in the way the piece is worn” and “how or when my work is worn is not particularly important to me. The way in which others may organise it is an open-ended extension of its use. Such a possibility for varying personal choice is interesting precisely because it is out of my control.” The iconic ring sets, ranging from a cluster of a couple of rings on simple acrylic stands, to sets of up to 40 rings stacked on more elaborate structures, all reveal a carefully orchestrated and formally considered geometric language.

“He descends not from the obvious forebears of contemporary art such as Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol, but from a rather different line: that of the great satirists. In its bawdy humour, his art recalls the eighteenth and nineteenth-century caricaturists William Hogarth, James Gillray and George Cruikshank. His quirky and literary wit echoes that of Aubrey Beardsley and Wyndham Lewis, while his linear drawing style and predilection for social comment, erotica and the grotesque are reminiscent of the work of Otto Dix, George Grosz and the Expressionists whose art flourished in the smoky nightclubs of 1920s Berlin” (Jacky Klein cited in: Jacky Klein, Grayson Perry, London 2009, p. 10).

This work becomes a place for self-reflection, as well as transforming the utilitarian nature of the medium into a statement of rebellion and satire.

But up close, the content of my work can confound all that’ (Grayson Perry cited in Jacky Klein, Grayson Perry, London 2009, p. 242).

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. OUR 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.
22.1
(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 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.
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.
(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.
(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.
(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
(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.
B. REGISTERING TO BID 1. NEW BIDDERS (a) If this is Your first time bidding at Lyon & Turnbull or You are a returning Bidder who has not bought anything from us within the last two years You must register at least 48 hours before an auction to give us enough time to process and approve Your registration. We may, at our discretion, decline to permit You to register as a Bidder.

229 3. FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE RIGHT DOCUMENTS If in our opinion You do not satisfy our Bidder identification and registration procedures including, but not limited to, completing any anti-money laundering and/or anti-terrorism financing checks we may require to our satisfaction, we may refuse to register You to bid, and if You make a successful bid, we may cancel the contract between You and the Seller. 4. BIDDING ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON (a) As an authorised Bidder: If You are bidding on behalf of another person, that person will need to complete the registration requirements above before You can bid, and supply a signed letter authorising You to bid for him/ her. (b) As agent for an undisclosed principal: If You are bidding as an agent for an undisclosed principle (the ultimate Buyer(s)) You accept personal liability to pay the Purchase Price and all other sums due, unless it has been agreed in writing with us before commencement of the auction that the Bidder is acting as an agent on behalf of a named third party acceptable to us and we will seek payment from the named third party. 5. BIDDING IN PERSON If You wish to bid in the saleroom You must register for a numbered bidding paddle before You begin bidding. Please ensure You bring photo identification with You to allow us to verify Your registration. 6. BIDDING SERVICES The bidding services described below are a free service offered as a convenience to our clients and we are not responsible for any error (human or otherwise), omission or breakdown in providing these services. (a) Phone bids Your request for this service must be made no later than 12 hours prior to the auction. We will accept bids by telephone for Lots only if our staff are available to take the bids.

and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall, if so instructed, clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor our employees nor agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we Reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. Bids must be expressed in the currency of the saleroom. The Auctioneer will take reasonable steps to carry out written bids at the lowest possible price, taking into account the Reserve. If You make a written bid on a Lot which does not have a Reserve and there is no higher bid than Yours, we will bid on Your behalf at around 50% of the lower Estimate or, if lower, the amount of Your bid.
responsible for any error (human or otherwise) omission or breakdown in providing these services.
C. DURING THE SALE
7. SUCCESSFUL BIDS Unless the Auctioneer decides to use their discretion as set out above, when the Auctioneer’s hammer falls, we have accepted the last bid. This means a contract for sale has been formed between the Seller and the successful Bidder. We will issue an invoice only to the registered Bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by post/or email after the auction, we do not accept responsibility for telling You whether or not Your bid was successful.

2. RESERVES Unless indicated by an insert symbol (∆), all Lots in this Catalogue are offered subject to a Reserve. A Reserve is the confidential Hammer Price established between us and the Seller. The Reserve is generally set at a percentage of the low Estimate and will not exceed the low Estimate for the Lot.
D. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM, TAXES AND ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY
3. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION The maker of the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the Buyer and any dispute shall be settled at the Auctioneer’s absolute discretion.

1. THE PURCHASE PRICE For each Lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 25% of the Hammer Price of each Lot up to and including £500,000, plus 20% from £500,001 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). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above. 2. 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. (a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme. (b) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items. (c) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwit the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above. 3. ARTIST’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. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs. org.uk. E. WARRANTIES 1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES For each Lot, the Seller gives a warranty that the Seller; (a) Is the owner of the Lot or a joint owner of the Lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners, or if the Sellers is not the owner of or a joint owner of the Lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the Lot, or the right to do so in law, and; (b) Had the right to transfer ownership of the Lot to the Buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else.

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.
