Bernard Kay was an English painter in oil and watercolour, and engraver, who commenced working in the post Second World War period. He was born and brought up in Southport, in what was then Lancashire. Kay was born on February 12th, 1927. Attending school in Southport, he later studied at the Liverpool School of Art from 1943 to 1946, and subsequently at the Royal Academy School of Painting in London from 1948 to 1949. He taught drawing at the Southport School of Art and Crafts (1950-52) and etching at the Birmingham College of Arts and Crafts. Kay moved to London permanently in 1953. In 1954 he won a French Government Scholarship for Painting, and studied at the Academie Ronson in Paris from 1954 to 1955, moving on to study etching at the Atelier Friedlander, also in Paris. Kay was one of a number of post-war English artists whose work was exhibited in group shows and individually in London in the 1950’s, and attracted favourable attention from national critics. Exhibitions: Kay exhibited at the Archer Gallery in London, and the Southport Summer Exhibition of Modern Art in 1954. A collection of his engravings was shown at the Galerie La Hune, Paris, in February 1955. His work featured in the Daily Express Young Artists’ Exhibitions in London, also in 1955. Kay showed at the Obelisk Gallery in London in 1956, and at an exhibition mounted by Roland Browse and Delbanco in London from November 1956 to January 1957. Thereafter his work appeared in the Christmas Exhibitions staged by Roland Browse and Delbanco from 1957 through to 1962. Kay’s first One Man exhibition was held in tandem with Norman Adams under the auspices of Roland Browse and Delbanco in January 1959, while a further One-Man exhibition was held under the same auspices with Phillip Sutton in March 1962. He also contributed to the ‘Cathedrals’ Suite of Etching of the Editions Alecto published in Spring 1966. From 1955 through to the late 1960s Kay undertook a series of etchings in conjunction with the St, George’s Gallery, London. In 1965 he published a series of aquatints known as the ‘Cathedral Suite’. Purchases Bernard Kay’s work has been purchased for their permanent collections by a number of leading institutions. These have included: the Adelaide Museum of Modern Art, painting (1958), the Harris Art Gallery, Preston, painting (1958), the Museum of Modern Art, New York, aquatint (1959), The Philadelphia Museum of Modern Art, print prize (1959), the Seattle Art Museum, painting (1959), the Victoria and Albert Museum, aquatint (1959), the British Council, aquatint (1960), the Atkinson Art Gallery, Southport, painting (1962), the Cartwright Art Gallery, Bradford, painting (1963).

COMMISSION AND TELEPHONE BIDS Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular Lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we will if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf or by telephone.

TERMS OF SALE The seller acknowledges that Lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the Lot. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot.

Prospective buyers 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 accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”. (2) Please note that condition reports are not printed in the catalogue or on our website however we are happy to provide them when requested subject to our terms and conditions of sale. The absence of any reference to condition in any description does not imply the lot is without fault. (3) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation. FORGERIES Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the Lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition. The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale. GENERAL 1. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person. (1) any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate. (2) Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them. 2. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail or Swiftmail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting. 3. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of the catalogue. 4. Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect. 5. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions. ENDANGERED SPECIES LAWS Due to international laws, any item on the Endangered species list (i.e. Ivory, Rhino horn etc.), whether it dates from the 18th/19th Century or the 1930’s, requires re-export permits for bidders outside the EU (CITES). Some countries also require import permits as well and all permits must be in place prior to shipment. Mallams cannot be held liable if a purchaser buys a lot that comes within this field and then import/export licences cannot be arranged. Certain countries, particularly the USA, have their own Endangered Species Act (USESA) and possession or being involved in a commercial transaction with any item on this list can be an offence for a US resident. Therefore, it is the potential buyer’s responsibility to check Federal regulations before bidding for a lot, which comes under these or similar regulations. Please note no license is required to sell or advertise within the EU if items are pre- 1947.

Bernard Kay was an English painter in oil and watercolour, and engraver, who commenced working in the post Second World War period. He was born and brought up in Southport, in what was then Lancashire. Kay was born on February 12th, 1927. Attending school in Southport, he later studied at the Liverpool School of Art from 1943 to 1946, and subsequently at the Royal Academy School of Painting in London from 1948 to 1949. He taught drawing at the Southport School of Art and Crafts (1950-52) and etching at the Birmingham College of Arts and Crafts. Kay moved to London permanently in 1953. In 1954 he won a French Government Scholarship for Painting, and studied at the Academie Ronson in Paris from 1954 to 1955, moving on to study etching at the Atelier Friedlander, also in Paris. Kay was one of a number of post-war English artists whose work was exhibited in group shows and individually in London in the 1950’s, and attracted favourable attention from national critics. Exhibitions: Kay exhibited at the Archer Gallery in London, and the Southport Summer Exhibition of Modern Art in 1954. A collection of his engravings was shown at the Galerie La Hune, Paris, in February 1955. His work featured in the Daily Express Young Artists’ Exhibitions in London, also in 1955. Kay showed at the Obelisk Gallery in London in 1956, and at an exhibition mounted by Roland Browse and Delbanco in London from November 1956 to January 1957. Thereafter his work appeared in the Christmas Exhibitions staged by Roland Browse and Delbanco from 1957 through to 1962. Kay’s first One Man exhibition was held in tandem with Norman Adams under the auspices of Roland Browse and Delbanco in January 1959, while a further One-Man exhibition was held under the same auspices with Phillip Sutton in March 1962. He also contributed to the ‘Cathedrals’ Suite of Etching of the Editions Alecto published in Spring 1966. From 1955 through to the late 1960s Kay undertook a series of etchings in conjunction with the St, George’s Gallery, London. In 1965 he published a series of aquatints known as the ‘Cathedral Suite’. Purchases Bernard Kay’s work has been purchased for their permanent collections by a number of leading institutions. These have included: the Adelaide Museum of Modern Art, painting (1958), the Harris Art Gallery, Preston, painting (1958), the Museum of Modern Art, New York, aquatint (1959), The Philadelphia Museum of Modern Art, print prize (1959), the Seattle Art Museum, painting (1959), the Victoria and Albert Museum, aquatint (1959), the British Council, aquatint (1960), the Atkinson Art Gallery, Southport, painting (1962), the Cartwright Art Gallery, Bradford, painting (1963).
