NOW is what counts. In a life where we have a tendency to obsess over our future or to dwell in our past, the ultimate talent is to put all our energy, enthusiasm and focus on now. It we succeed in that, the quality of both our future and our past will improve dramatically. At Phillips de Pury & Company we pride ourselves on being the company that is consistently showing the best of what is happening in contemporary culture around the world. In order to be even better equipped to do so in the future, we have decided to add at least seventeen new theme sales to our regular schedule of ‘classic’ sales through the end of 2010. These sales will be presented in a new type of catalog that will include editorial content and will evolve into a cross between a catalog and a magazine. At the same time we are substantially increasing the distribution of these catalogs, which are being printed on environmentally-friendly (TCF) paper. We are happy to inaugurate this new series of sales with NOW. The brief we gave to our colleagues was that this sale should only include works produced between 2000 and 2009. Since many of the best artists have the foresight like mediums to predict our future, they help us to figure out what tomorrow’s NOW will consist of. Am particularly happy that we were able for this first new type of catalog, to include in-depth analyses of two figures of seminal importance in the contemporary art world. Ever since I saw the magic exhibition that a 24-year-old Hans Ulrich Obrist had devoted to Gerhard Richter in the Nietzsche House in Sils Maria, Switzerland, I have been impressed by his profound knowledge and his insatiable hunger for the best work being created around the globe in art, architecture, music, literature, film, photography and design. When the history of art of our times will be written, his role will have to be recognized as major. Obrist, not unlike his compatriot, the late Harald Szeemann, has done before him, allows us to have an overall view of what is artistically relevant today. My first physical contact with the work of Keith Tyson occurred at the 2001 Venice Biennale. I was instantly mesmerized and intrigued by it. His artistic evolution since then has been more than impressive. Like only the greatest artists manage to achieve, his work is getting consistently better and better. We are grateful to him for having allowed us to visit and photograph him in his Sussex studio. And now let’s focus on NOW!

Hans ulricH obrist art for all interview Karen wright | PhotograPhy tim gutt
KAREN WRIGHT i want to talk to you about noW, not last year or the year before. recently i have felt that art is hard work and that means there’s something wrong. HANS ULRICH OBRIST i think it was Karl Valentin, the munich comedian, a visionary who has his own museum in munich, and who influenced Duchamp, who said, ‘Art is beautiful but makes a lot of work’. i think it’s always been a lot of work!
The firsT impression on meeting hans Ulrich obrist, Co-Director of exhibitions and programmes and Director of international projects at the serpentine, is his irrepressible energy and curiosity. Growing up in switzerland (obrist was born in Zurich in may 1968), he became interested in the arts at an early age, although his family was not art oriented. he recalls, aged fourteen or fifteen, meeting the playwright
KW Could you describe how you got started as a curator? HUO i started to curate at the very beginning of the nineties. i did The Kitchen Show in 1991, and because of The Kitchen Show i got a grant at the Cartier foundation, which at that time was in Jouy-en-Josas, on the outskirts of paris. They had little houses where curators and artists were in residence. i was twenty-three, and i had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the art of the West but no idea about any art beyond the West. i was in a residency there for three months and in the studio on my left hand side the then-unknown huang Yong ping was working. he had just participated in Les magiciens de la Terre. on the right hand side was the young, emerging Absolon, who tragically died. so there was a great sculptor from israel and a great installation artist from China. over those three months it became clear to me that the twenty-first century would be more about the polyphony of centres.
eugene ionesco, pioneer of the Theatre of the Absurd. he also met the italian conceptual artist Alighiero Boetti, who became a mentor, while still in school. obrist himself credits two early mentors, suzanne paget and Kasper König, ‘from whom i really learnt on the job. i did my first book with König, my first large show with paget.’ prior to joining the serpentine in April 2006, he was Curator of the musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de paris alongside paget. he has curated and co-curated over 200 solo and group exhibitions internationally since 1991. These include Take Me, I’m Yours; do it; Manifesta 1; Cities on the Move; Live/Life; Nuit Blanche; the
KW has this polyphony been around a long time? HUO The polyphony of centres gained strength in the nineties. When i started to be in the art world as a teenager in the eighties, it was the moment of Westkunst (1981) as Kasper König called his visionary exhibition, which really was the most important show – gathering Western art after World War Two, from Jackson pollock to the young, emerging franz West. in the late eighties, early nineties, we suddenly started to be aware of what there is beyond the West and that there are all these incredible centres.
first Berlin Biennale (1998); Utopia Station; Guangzhou Triennale 2005; Dakar Biennale 2004; the first and second moscow Biennales (2005 and 2007); Uncertain States of America; Lyon Biennale 2007; and Yokohama Triennale 2008. obrist may be best remembered however for his wide-ranging conversations with practitioners – artists, architects and others – as he emulates ‘studs Terkel, the great master and obviously my hero for
KW There was a lot of criticism this summer for Daniel Birnbaum’s Biennale and its lack of inclusion of centres outside of the traditional ones. HUO i found other centres to be present. There were several really exciting indian artists. There was nikhil Chopra. he was also one of the protagonists of Indian Highway the show we had at the serpentine and as part of his performance at the Gallery he lived here in a tent in the park. he is certainly a great voice and he has this desire for non-mediated experience. he is an artist who has emerged over the last couple of years from the indian context. he is also part of this incredible new generation of artists who work with time based art, which is something which i can see all over the place.
conversations.’ it seemed the time to turn the tables. here, the interviewer became the interviewee.
KW Which curator do you initially credit with this understanding of other places? 12

«MigHt aMnesia be tHe core of tHe digital age?»
HUO it was harald szeemann who opened the Biennale by bringing in China so strongly. i think it was his second biennale. in every biennale since then the art world has no longer been the same and we now have this transformation, and fortunately i believe it has been present in all the biennales. it is something which is going to accompany us throughout the twenty-first century. museum collections are starting now to be more than Western art and take account of the polyphony of centres and it’s all going to change more and more.
actually having been there. But there is memory and oral history too, and scores. sometimes things can be redone! KW so does this mean that object-led art is more rewarding? HUO i think there are lots of different ways art can travel. Art can travel through an object, through a quasi-object and through a non-object. it is easiest in some ways because an object is an object and the object will always be the object, but the object might disintegrate and have to be fixed. That also happens because nothing lasts forever.
KW When did you first get more involved in non mediated work? HUO for me it was a very interesting moment three or four years ago when matthew Barney told me he felt a desire for non-mediated experience. having done the Cremaster movies throughout the nineties, it is intriguing that all his recent work is focusing on a non-mediated experience. ever since 2000 philippe parreno and i have had years and years of discussions reflecting on how we could do a group show where artists would be given time and not space, and that happened in Il Tempo del Postino at the manchester international festival in 2007. Two years later, in 2009, it was re-actualised for the Art fair in Basel, which was co-directed by Anri sala and rikrit Tiravanija.
KW Yes, but it’s still an object. HUO But once you leave the realm of the object it is a fact that throughout the twentieth century there have been a lot of very important experiences and experiments which are not objects. A lot of art functions with objects. it’s just that i believe it’s not the full story, there are a lot of other things to be told. A big part of art history is the history of objects. how can we make our art history more complex and also take into account the things which are not objects? more and more the medium for artists is exhibitions. The history of art has become a history of exhibitions, of temporary ‘constellations.’ This is the topic of my new book A Brief History of Curating, and i think it is one of the burning topics at the moment. particularly also given the resources of the planet now, intuitively a lot of younger, emerging artists feel it’s not necessary to add huge new objects.
KW how do you control these events as a curator? These evenings could go on forever if you wanted to give them their due. how would you respond to that? HUO it’s a very interesting question. i think each time there are different rules to the game. With Il Tempo del Postino it’s just an evening-filling programme; if you went to an opera or to the theatre, you would arrive there at 8pm and it would last until or 10.30pm or 11pm with an intermission, so we thought that’s the amount of time visitors would spend in a theatre or an opera, so let’s make the exhibition the same length. We used that format; we gave every artist about fifteen minutes, we included a break and that seemed to work very well.
KW so which do you prefer: the object-led art or the non-mediated experience kind of work? HUO i don’t believe in the dichotomy, which very often there is in the art world, between people who are interested in objects and people who are interested in non-objects. i happen to be interested in both. i think Jeff Koons’ Popeye Series show at the serpentine Gallery is an interesting example.
KW i feel one of the main problems we have now is how you document events like Il Tempo del Postino. if you think about Vito Acconci, for instance, you could say that Seedbed was a very seminal work and you can still look at it on YouTube. has Il Tempo del Postino been documented? HUO it was videoed and photographed, and we plan to publish the score. m/m have also designed an album.
KW Very object. HUO Very object. it has been a truly exciting experience for Julia peyton-Jones and i to work on this exhibition with him. i would say it was one of the great experiences of installing a solo show with an artist. The exhibition chose works from the Popeye series that Koons started in 2002. The character of popeye was conceived eighty years ago this year, during the Depression, and in the current period of economic recession we thought it would be a fitting time to rediscover him. And then it’s interesting that Tino sehgal told me that whenever a curator or gallerist visits his studio and wants him to participate in a project he does the Koons test.
KW so it is possible to revisit this. But isn’t this the problem with this unmediated work? is rirkrit Tiravanija’s piece that interesting in hindsight when you can’t actually eat the Thai food? i saw an amazing piece by stuart Brisley at the Whitechapel a few years ago but i feel that these experiences are often very empty for the viewer if you’re not there on the night. how do you deal with that, as a curator? HUO You do see Vito Acconci now on YouTube. Luckily there is this document so we can imagine how it was, yet it will never replace the experience of
KW [Laughs] HUO Tino sehgal asks curators who come to see him if they like Jeff Koons. if 14

«protesting against forgetting is a key defense» they say they don’t like Koons he doesn’t do the show. it’s the Koons test.
Ballard once told me that the curator is a junction-maker; he makes bridges.
KW [Laughs] HUO i think that’s a funny anecdote to show how the question of object versus non-object is more complicated in some ways. in fact, i think we must experiment with ways beyond objects, by detaching art from its physical manifestation and going into other realms. As Koons told us, ‘What’s more important isn’t this object that we’re looking at. That object communicates the information that you want the viewer to have a dialogue with. The art takes place within the viewer, and so what i’m trying to do is control that experience. i really don’t care about objects, what i care about is letting the viewer know that they are what’s important.’
KW Bridges between the artist and the curator? HUO it involves not only bridges between the curator and the artist and between the artist and the institution, but also bridges to the public. That’s why curating is much more than enabling. enabling would mean the curator just walks away, and i don’t think that would be responsible because the curator has the responsibility to carry it further, to the public, and not only to one homogenous public, but to many, many passerelles, so it's not just one bridge. i think the curator is also a sparring partner to push the artist to do the very best he or she can do at the given moment in time. That i think is my key role. it is not only enabling but it’s also being a sparring partner and pushing things further and further. i think to some extent that has to do also with a dialogue, to give an artist feedback in conversations and, to answer your question before, not just to give the artist fifteen minutes in Il Tempo del Postino and then walk away and come to the opening to follow it very closely.
KW so is the desire for non-mediated art coming out of our digital age, the YouTube phenomenon? HUO There are many different reasons for the desire for non-mediated experience, including resistance to the virtual. Jean-françois Lyotard, the philosopher, curated Les Immatériaux, an exhibition that was so important for me and for many artists. This was in the eighties and it was really the first exhibition which anticipated the impact of the internet. After Les Immatériaux Lyotard wanted to do a show about resistance to communication which leads us to an artist like paul Chan and his delinking.
KW Yes. so how can you help do this? HUO The field of art is structured by a very limited number of possibilities. There are the solo shows in museums, the group shows. Then there are the biennales, there are the public commissions, and there are the gallery shows. That is something Alighiero Boetti pointed out to me when i visited him for the very first time when i was 18. he said as an artist he was always invited to do the same things; of gallery shows, some Kunsthalle shows, a couple of museum shows, group shows, theme shows and then sometimes a biennale, and a couple of times to do a public commission, perhaps one per cent of their output. he said there were other things he wanted to do, but nobody invited him so these ideas could not happen within these limited structures. new structures are offered if we empty a whole museum, as we did in manchester, with marina Abromovic and maria Balshaw at the Whitworth museum, or if we offer time to an artist in Il Tempo del Postino, or when each october Julia peyton-Jones and i invite artists to participate in a marathon in the serpentine Gallery pavilion. These are proposals the artist doesn't get every day. They are unusual and from that point of view, if they are motivating enough, they produce work or situations which are, for the artists and for us, exciting.
KW Are there other trends around at the moment that you see in the art schools – is there also a resistance to the non-mediated experience? HUO i think a lot of what is happening right now – and one can see it in art schools also – is that there is not only this desire for non-mediated experience and the whole performance thing, it is also a moment when drawing is an incredibly fertile zone. i see a lot of stunning drawing and that’s obviously another form of resistance to the disappearance of handwriting, and everything happening in computers. so to answer your previous questions, these are maybe two reasons why: resistance to everything happening on the computer and the idea of not adding any more objects. KW how do you as a curator respond to these new challenges? Are you a Kaiser or an enabler? HUO i always believe in a very close dialogue with artists and that is certainly at the core of my practice. i have always thought enabling is an important element in the sense that the curator should not stand in the way. so first and foremost certainly the enabler definition suits me better than the Kaiser definition. i think that the curator, however, is much more than an enabler. Curating has to do with finding possibilities to make things happen which otherwise wouldn’t happen, so that’s maybe an extension of enabling, finding production contexts or situations where reality can be produced. The late J. G.
KW is that what you are doing in october? HUO Yes. This autumn in our poetry marathon (18-19 october), artists will be invited to collaborate with a poet or do a reading with a poet or a project with a poet or present their own poems. it's not routine. KW Are there any other parameters to running a contemporary institution? You are showing artists that have been overlooked or are in danger of being forgotten – maria Lassnig, Anthony mcCall or Derek Jarman for example. 15

«art is beautiful but Makes a lot of work»
HUO Besides the idea of performance and drawing (drawing is really key right now), one other thing which is vital at the moment, is what eric hobsbawm calls, a ‘protest against forgetting.’ i think memory is absolutely key. At the moment, when the internet produces extraordinary research tools which we embrace, i think it’s quite difficult to imagine how one curated a show or wrote a text before Google, because it’s a tool we use on such a daily basis. i think it was rem Koolhaas who once said that maybe amnesia is at the core of the digital age and i’m not sure if the answer is yes or no but it’s at least a very valid question. ’ The fact that we produce more and more archive and that the data grows exponentially , doesn’t necessarily mean that humanity as such produces more memory. i think at the moment there is a very interesting resistance in the art world. The art world is very strong at that- stronger at that than any other world - the idea of resisting amnesia. i think that’s a great quality of the art world and something i have always felt is part of my duty to support and push; protesting against forgetting is a key agenda. Look, for example, at Gustav metzger.
looks at these maps of Öyvind fahlström, they are completely twenty-first century, they are visionary. Because of certain difficulties the work hasn’t been shown, and then suddenly we see a room of only fahlström in the Biennale and it makes so much sense for the twenty-first century. KW i know you always ask about people’s unrealised projects – what are yours? HUO my biggest project is to do, ironically, a big exhibition on unrealised projects. my dream is to do a large-scale show of thousands of square metres, a really big exhibition, about all the great unrealised ideas of art and even other disciplines. Another unrealised project is to invent a salon for the twenty-first century and to invent a new Black mountain College. KW Absolutely. HUO With film makers there are all these movies that don’t happen because they just don’t fit in and very often they are the most interesting projects. The same thing is true for scientists, the same thing is true for architects. it’s also what i learnt from the field of architecture: this whole obsession with the unrealised project came because that is what the field of curating has always been about for me. it’s difficult for me to verbalise this because it is something intuitive, but when i grew up in switzerland, as a teenager i saw a Joseph Beuys work. harald szeemann brought him into Der Hang zum Gesamtkunstwerk (The Tendency towards the Total Work of Art, Zurich, 1983), yet at the same time Beuys also gave lectures at Lake Constance, where i grew up, as part of the Green party, on the whole idea of social sculpture. for me to listen to Beuys as an adolescent was really important. i felt he had completely expanded the notion of art. he called it Erweiterung des Kunstbegriffs, as he also expanded art. in a similar way Warhol had done the opposite in America. When i started in the art field there were, for me, these two poles: Beuys and Warhol. in the last ten years that has gone away a little bit because Beuys has been less present, but is now more important again.
KW i was just thinking of him. HUO metzger is such an incredibly important artist for all the young artists and students i know. still, Gustav metzger has never had a big solo show in London. he has never had an institutional exhibition in London, nor has he, after having lived in the UK for seventy years, ever had a permanent piece here. i feel it is now unbelievably urgent. now, through the manchester international festival, the monument is Flailing Trees, which is a memento mori of trees. it’s like a little temple in front of the town hall. metzger’s big exhibition which will happen at the serpentine Gallery in september, which will be his first solo show in a London institution ever, is a show of five decades of his work. This protest against forgetting can happen through exhibitions, but it can also happen through interviews. KW Tell me more about the conversations you do. HUO i think the interview project, the conversation project, is another attempt to protest against forgetting by speaking to people. it is something i did in the nineties a lot. so far i have 2000 hours of filmed recordings, of which some have been published as books.
KW Tell me what you think a successful institution should be doing noW? HUO it has to be a time store and a laboratory to invent the future. i think a successful art institution of the twenty-first century needs to look beyond the West. it needs to build many bridges. it is not only visitor figures, although visitor figures are, of course, key. We have over 800,000 people a year at the serpentine and that is very important for us, but it’s not only a matter of figures. it’s also the ability to connect to many different communities and have many different bridges with which to bring people to art, not just the people who go to art shows anyhow, but to bring many people who otherwise would not come to see art because it might actually change their lives. KW so how do you do this? HUO it's so important that the serpentine Gallery has free admission. Julia
KW i think there was much in Daniel Birnbaum’s Biennale that was a protest against amnesia, the Gutai room and the inclusion of Lygia pape. HUO There were other examples in Venice which i found very interesting in relation to that, for example Öyvind fahlström – extraordinary! KW Absolutely. HUO if one thinks about the current ecological apocalyptic perspectives, if one thinks about the current world order in terms of the political frame and one 16

and i firmly believe in the idea of art for all, as Gilbert and George call it. Gilbert and George have a lot of wonderful quotes; ‘To be with art is all we ask’, is a great quote, but also ‘Art for all’. or ‘Architecture for all.’
between. You can say artists have come to Berlin because of that. residencies are key. KW We have leapt around a great deal, the future, the past do you agree? HUO i think it was panofsky, the great art historian, who once said when we invent the future we don’t invent it ex nihilo, but we invent the future from fragments of the past.
KW i feel the energy has seeped out of London recently. Do you feel that too? HUO i feel there is a new London with many connections, to China, india, the middle east. my big show about London was Live! Live!, which we did in 1996 in paris at the musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de paris with [curator] Laurence Bossé, a mapping of London of the nineties, of the energy London produced in the nineties. We realised, spending a year in London at that time and going to many studios, and also to other english cities, that actually the driving force of the english art scene were the artist-run spaces, City racing, Bank, Transmission in Glasgow, and that basically most of the artists we now know who emerged in the nineties had their beginnings in one of these artist-run spaces or were even committee members, you know. Last year i took a copy of Time Out and compared it with our own mapping of all these artist-run spaces from ‘96. Almost all these artist-run spaces had gone.
KW Yes. HUO it is difficult for me to think about the big vision for the institution of the twenty-first century without thinking about Cedric price and the fun palace. many of the things we have been discussing and which i have been trying to do over the last couple of years, the trans-disciplinary serpentine marathons, Il Tempo del Postino, Marina Abramovic Presents, these are all projects which could have happened in a fun palace. it also leads us back to me talking about Gustav metzger and to you talking about stuart Brisley. i think there is an incredible reservoir of ideas in what happened here in england in the fifties, sixties and seventies from the beginning of pop art and the extraordinary vision of richard hamilton, who we are going to show at the serpentine.
KW sad. HUO Because these were only possibilities that could come about when there was hardly any rent to pay and space was very cheap.
KW When is that? HUO 2010. There will be metzger and there will be Konstantin Grcic, who is the visionary industrial designer from Germany who will curate a design show for us. Then after that there will be richard hamilton
KW it wasn’t because the art wasn’t worth anything. it seems that as soon as art is worth more it is taken out of the realm of the artist. HUO But i have the feeling that now, over the last six months, more of these initiatives are starting to pop up in London. it is to be seen if there will be more. it could very well happen.
KW i think hamilton is one of those unsung heroes. HUO Totally. even if these artists are very well known here it is extremely important that they are set in a global context. if these artists had lived in the United states, might they be as famous as Warhol or Liechtenstein today? one of the great visionaries i have met is richard hamilton. he and his wife rita insisted that i visited Cedric price. Cedric price had inspired the whole mutation of urban cities. his texts had already been translated into Japanese in the sixties. This great visionary, whom i then became friends with in a similar way to Boetti ten years earlier, became my mentor in the late nineties. it was at the beginning of the time when i became obsessed by architecture, so i needed mentors who would introduce me to architecture.
KW outside the institution what else can be done to regain this energy? You started with a residency at the Cartier foundation all those years ago. Are more residencies the answer? HUO A lot of artists have stopped teaching over the last few years, or don’t teach at the moment in europe. KW They don’t need to. That’s part of the problem. HUO i think a key question is how to create situations again in the twenty-first century where artists have a desire to teach. As you have mentioned the idea of residency, one of the most successful models of residency in europe remains the DAAD [Deutsche Akademischer Austausch Dienst/German Academic exchange service], if you think about the sustainability of that model, how long it has lasted, whom it brought to Berlin. When i was at high school i met ed Kienholz in Berlin for coffee and he told me he had come there because of the DAAD and just couldn’t leave. You can say from George rickey and ed Kienholz to Tacita Dean, is a very wide range of generations and worlds
KW We have talked about Cedric price and Boetti as mentors of yours. Was there a defining moment when you realised this is what you wanted to do? HUO my life was changed as a kid when i saw harald szeemann’s first show. i didn’t come from a family where art was on the menu, my parents didn’t find art particularly interesting, so i didn’t have a background from my family of going to art shows. i suddenly saw the harald szeemann show and it was like a shockwave. my whole life turned around, so i still believe that can happen. ■ 17

Keith tyson the future as the almost now Words Alex coles | PhotogrAPhy tim gutt
Keith Tyson was born in 1969 in Ulverston and now lives and works in Brighton. In 2002 he was awarded the Turner Prize, the same year as he showed his work in the Sao Paulo Biennale. He has been included in the 49th Venice Biennale and the 2nd Berlin Biennale, and exhibited at the Kunsthalle Zurich, the South London Gallery and more recently, Walking in the Mind at the Hayward Gallery. His invention of the Artmachine, (1991) was his attempt to undermine the artist’s voice. The machine which produced proposals of endless possibility, established him firmly as a conceptual artist of NOW.
In 1972 AndreI Tarkovsky’s quietly pioneering scifi film Polaris was released in response to Stanley Kubrick’s much celebrated epic of the same genre from four years earlier, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Less famous than its counterpart, Polaris has nevertheless become something of an underground phenomenon due to its studied complexity. This attribute is partly accounted for by the way it ingeniously collapses a number of the dichotomies that Western films are customarily premised on. The first dichotomy to fall is the one between the pure visuality of many of the film’s scenes, and the medium’s customary need of a clear and progressive narrative structure to maintain the attention of the viewer. A large portion of Polaris’ narrative is communicated by stills and visually arresting slow-motion shots. The film opens with the camera panning across a pond in slow-motion and coming to rest on a bunch of reeds that stir as the water ripples. eventually this image fades into a shot of a clump of unrecognisable fauna. The shift between the two images acts as a charged signifier, rendering the geographical presence of the film’s protagonist ambiguous - as to whether he is on planet earth near his father’s house or the planet of Polaris. Oth-
er dichotomies collapsed by the film include those between science and poetics, rigour and play, and the old and the new. Specific moments in the expansive oeuvre of Keith Tyson collapse many of these same dichotomies, each moment representing something of a watershed in his recent development. So it is no coincidence that Polaris also happens to be Tyson’s favourite sci-fi film, a genre of film making that plays a crucial role in his thinking. ‘I don’t think there’s a specific way of viewing my work that is correct. And with regard to the dichotomy between a scientific reading and a poetic one, I don’t see any. I see the work as embodying both equally,’ Tyson affirms. Studio Wall Drawing: May 1st 2004, Inventory of Conway Forms to be used as Command Codes in a Geno/P is a case in point. The work is composed of a series of so-called Conway Forms, automata invented by the scientist John Conway to populate a two-dimensional cellular universe for which he coined the name The Game of Life. Within Conway’s automata, the status of each cell is utterly dependant on those of the surrounding cells - whether they are switched on or off, or even left unaltered from one generation to another. The
precise way these automata are repeated and configured in Tyson’s drawing – the elements sketched in black, the explanation of each one running underneath in red, renders them readable. However their loose and illustrative handling, enhanced as the rows of drawn elements, sway rather than precisely line up on the grid on which they are liberally set. This lends a degree of illegibility which serves to introduce a certain lyricism into the drawing. Were the elements simply legible then there would be no poetic interference, and the drawing would fail to engage to the extent it does. Large Field Array (2007) is comprised of a surfeit of two-foot-square modular units deployed on a grid at precisely four foot intervals. The installation was inaugurated at the Louisiana Museum in denmark in 2006, and gathered in momentum while it toured. It eventually contained three hundred elements at its final incarnation at Pace Wildenstein in 2008. The unit system underpinning the installation is akin to those deployed by the minimalist Sol Le Witt, with the exception that instead of being pristinely empty, it is replete with improbable sculptural forms. Their seeming randomness and obscurity ranges from an oversized black telephone

to the gates of hell. The rigorous precision of the grid is everywhere interrupted by these fanciful representations drawn from chaos and string theory, the signs of the zodiac and the table of elements. On the grid, a cubed unit can morph into a washing machine or a giant birthday cake. Tyson evidently finds it frustrating that confusion arises because of the simultaneous presence of rigour and play in his work. Amusingly, he infers that this confusion is akin to approaching ‘somebody who is doing a documentary about science’ and ‘saying, ‘God, that wasn’t a very scientific documentary.’’ In Tyson’s way of thinking, ‘a scientific methodology doesn’t have to be rigorous. The great thing about being an artist is... you can hold two contradictory ideas in your head, and believe them both.’ This simultaneity is played through to a fault in Large Field Array. Fractal Dice, exhibited at Pace Wildenstein in new York in 2008, and to be included in the exhibition at Parasol unit in London later in 2009, extends the idea piloted in Large Field Array. The sculptures that constitute the series are the direct result of an algorithm, based on a dice system that Tyson communicated to the gallery some time in advance of
the opening of the exhibition. The gallery’s production team used it to determine the size, shape and colour of each individual sculpture. The sculptures start from the naked cube, and the precise method by which they deviate from it is determined by a role of the die. each face of a cube is subjected to a simple modification based on six separate rolls of the die. The first role determines the colour; the second roll determines the cubic intrusion or extrusion, and so on.The result is six new cubic elements emerging from the original box, each with five newly minted faces which are, in turn, subject to the same process. Following this second round, the sculpture is fabricated. each of the sculptures, with their playful colours and inventive cubic forms, has the pared back appearance of a formalist composition composed according to an intuitive sense of balance, however each is actually premised on this rigorous schema instead. In reference to the relationship between the conceptual and the visual, Tyson clarifies how his individual works ‘tend to be manifestations as opposed to representations’ of ideas. And it is precisely the fact that each of his works are manifestations, as opposed to representations, of ideas,
that accounts for their visuality. Were the two not so entangled – were each and every element easily readable separately, and a clear sense of narrative progression generated as a consequence, then perhaps Tyson’s work wouldn’t insist on the visual to such a great degree. But it does. The difficulty of reconciling the visuality of The Nature Paintings with their conceptual basis is compounded by a tension between the visual allusions the paintings make to the natural world and the procedure by which they are fabricated. Intent and skill has everywhere been subjugated to chance in their rendering. The myriad configurations in the series are determined by the reactions between paints and chemicals when combined and poured at different angles and temperatures onto aluminium plates. The conceptual process the materials have been subjected to produces a series of felicitous visual configurations, a portion of which were exhibited at Haunch of Venison in 2007, Blum and Poe in Los Angeles earlier in 2009, and will also be present in the exhibition at Parasol unit. no painting in the series alludes to the process. All refer instead to their intended subject matter, which is clearly indicated in the series’ title. Four Elements

(Fire) (Water) (Earth) (Air), 2008, is typical of the series. A number of algae coloured forms circulate a large central area of deep blue. In places, the edges of the green colour bleed into the blue, which appears to swirl away from the surface. The cacophony of seemingly still liquid visual elements belies their conceptual premise. Tyson systematically collapses the dichotomy between the old and the new in his work. Interviews with the artist, which are so substantial as to form a crucial annexe to his practice, are littered with references to his intrigue in temporal warps. ‘It’s a question about oblivion,’Tyson surmises, in terms of ‘how what happens before you are born equates to what happens after you’re born. It’s this kind of tiny sandwich between these infinite matters of nothing-ness or everything-ness that I’m in the painful and privileged position of observing.’ Tyson is patently intrigued by how events from the past position the present, and furthermore, how viewing the past through the optic of the present completely changes perception of it. He refers to his own position in the middle as being akin to a ‘tiny sandwich’ in time. elsewhere in the same interview Tyson states: ‘I’ve found myself in situations in my life, and
thought, ‘Well, how did I get here? How did this occur?’ And thought about how none of this was my doing. This is all stuff that happens before you’re born. The decisions are made, and you don’t ask to replace art history. You don’t ask your parents to replace your genetics. You don’t ask for any of these things. So all those things are happening before you even put a brush to a canvas, so how can I claim authorship over their manifestation? Ultimately the action is about an emotional disturbance that I’m trying to solve.’ The notion of an ‘emotional disturbance’ being the direct result of a confused temporality is decisive to grasping Tyson’s own view of his work. It is another way of articulating his perception of the artist as being a ‘tiny sandwich’ in time. Tyson’s evident intrigue in time warps brings our trajectory back full circle to Polaris, the artist’s favourite sci-fi film. In the closing scene of the film, the protagonist considers whether or not to return to earth or stay on Polaris. Back on the shore of the pond beside his father’s house where the film started, his face falls when he sees something is wrong. Water is falling inside the house and though his father is inside, he is unaware of it. Father and
son embrace. The camera draws back, the house, lake and surrounding land are revealed to be on an island, floating on the surface of Polaris. Instead of playing out the dichotomy between the protagonist’s old life on earth and his new one on Polaris, the two are revealed to be folded together in his mind, their temporality confused. The inference is that the past sequences were just a series of flashbacks and that the entire film has taken place in the present. Similarly, rather than being conceived of as either the old or the new, in Tyson’s work the present is often rendered as the new, but the new being something which has already happened. In other words, as the almost new. In this way, a further dichotomy is collapsed in Tyson’s work and its selfprofessed complexity further played out. ■ Alex Coles is an art critic and editor.

Childhood is a time for play. adulthood, too, one hopes, but not just politics and cards. Conceptual thinking, a grown-up pursuit, plays with expectations and meaning. in his work for the dutch collective droog, a loose affiliation of designers smitten with the reuse and recombination of materials, Mario Minale wins the game. Brick by lEGo® brick, he reassembles (and deconstructs) Gerrit Rietveld’s iconic ‘Red Blue Chair’ of 1923. Both the original chair and Minale’s update comprise standardized elements: Rietveld joined deal and plywood; Minale snaps together 4,500 plastic binding bricks, a winking acknowledgement of ‘Neo-Plasticism,’ a term associated with de stijl, that earlier loose affiliation of dutch artists to which Rietveld belonged. Minale builds a model of a model: the original represented an ideal, a ‘new answer’ for a new postwar interior, as artist Theo van doesburg wrote of Rietveld’s furniture in the journal De Stijl in 1919. Rietveld, like other contributors to de stijl, organized basic geometric components into formal configurations which were perceived as whole ‘while remaining clearly constructed from individual and independent elements,’ as the critic Paul overy has observed. Minale adopts the same principle, satisfying both de stijl’s stylistic requirements and droog’s: the unexpected reorganization of standard elements; the conjoining of decoration and function; simplicity. But Minale designs for a postmodern house, not a postwar one. With celerity and humour, hours playing on the floor. Minale’s obsessive act further fetishises ‘Red Blue Chair’, a paragon of modernism, while questioning its fetishisation; he reduces Rietveld’s work to child’s play. But the knock is not a hard one. Rietveld, after all, designed toys and high chairs (he had six children). Those stark, bright constructions were among his earliest experimental works. ‘leg godt’ he might have said to Minale, had they met. ‘Play well,’ that’s what lEGo® means.
The De Stijl movement was founded in 1917. The group, including painter Piet Mondrian, advocated a new, wholly abstract, aesthetic style composed predominantly of the primary colours of yellow, blue and red, combined with straight lines of black, gray and white.
Gerrit Rietveld, the Dutch architect and cabinet maker, was also a member of the De Stijl movement. His chairs were not intended to be comfortable. ‘We must remember,’ he said, ‘that sit is a verb too.’
Lego® was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Christiansen in Denmark. The first plastic blocks were made in 1947 when the company purchased a plastic injection moulding machine. Today the company manufactures approximately 20 billion blocks per year.
Red Blue Lego® Chair was designed by Mario Minale for Droog, the innovative Dutch Design Company, in 2004. It reflects both Droog’s and Rietveld’s philosophy that design should be about ‘the awakening of consciousness.’

What Keeps Mankind Alive, the title of the eleventh Istanbul Biennial (September 12 – November 8, 2009), takes its name from a song in Bertolt Brecht’s Threepenny Opera. It is curated by the collaborative group, What, How & for Whom (WHW), a non-pro t organization founded in 1999 and currently based in Zagreb, Croatia. All WHW projects have been conceived as platforms for discussing relevant social issues through art, theory and media. It all sounds a bit serious, but artists seem to be able to get around the rhetoric, and with the city of Istanbul as a backdrop it is still a must-go destination for the art lover. Pictured is Vangelis Viahos’ found photograph from Grey Zones.

Few artists get their own museums during their lifetimes, but Portugal is about to bestow this honour on Paula Rego. The distinctive building, designed by Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto Moura, is in Casçais, a coastal resort a short distance from Lisbon, Rego’s birth place. Opening in mid-September, it will hold over 120 works by Rego alongside paintings by her late husband Victor Willing. Rego is that rare thing, a woman gurative artist who works in a way that is not overtly political or feminist but encapsulates all the best of these ideals. Rego’s Pillowman series was inspired by the show of the same name by Martin McDonagh, and comprises a collection of lively and often disturbing works.

A rare chance to see a one man show of India’s Subodh Gupta in London. Many will know Gupta, who labels himself as an ‘idol thief,’ for his sculptural works that appear regularly in Biennales and international group shows. Gupta’s striking works usually incorporate everyday objects that are ubiquitous throughout India. Here in The Way Home (2001) we see mass-produced stainless steel utensils – thali pans, glasses and milk pails – alongside scattered revolvers. In October, Gupta will be at Hauser and Wirth in both the Picadilly and Bond Street galleries.

Humble ARts foundAtion
emerging art photographers currently face a unique breed of challenges. Shifting trends
and influences, accelerated ideas via online venues, and the proliferation of MFa photography programmes have forced a highly competitive art market; one that is limited in print resources which are specifically focused on informing collectors while connecting the early-career photographer to pivotal figures in the established art world. as a not-for-profit organization working to advance the careers of contemporary art photographers, humble arts Foundation responded to the challenges of today’s art market with the recent publication of The Collector’s Guide to Emerging Art Photography. the guide culls the work of 163 of the industry’s most talented new photographers whose aesthetic and international exposure affirms the intellectual integrity of their work. humble’s partnership with Phillips de Pury & company on its upcoming sale and catalogue Now: Art of the 21st Century enables the foundation to continue to encourage seasoned collectors, gallerists and other art world professionals to seriously consider the work of some of the most talented emerging and under represented photographers working today. Phillips de Pury selected 16 photographers from The Collector’s Guide, whose work is a snapshot of the strongest and most innovative and challenging new work in art photography. amani olu and Jon Fenstein Founders of humble arts Foundation

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS BUYInG aT aUCTIOn The following pages are designed to offer you information on how to buy at auction at Phillips de Pury & Company. Our staff will be happy to assist you. COnDITIOnS OF SalE The Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty which appear later in this catalogue govern the auction. Bidders are strongly encouraged to read them as they outline the legal relationship among Phillips, the seller and the buyer and describe the terms upon which property is bought at auction. Please be advised that Phillips de Pury & Company generally acts as agent for the seller. BUYER’S PREmIUm Phillips de Pury & Company charges the successful bidder a commission, or buyer’s premium, on the hammer price of each lot sold. The buyer’s premium is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price at the following rates: 25% of the hammer price up to and including £25,000, 20% of the portion of the hammer price above £25,000 up to and including £500,000 and 12% of the portion of the hammer price above £500,000. VaT Value added tax (VAT) may be payable on the hammer price and/or the buyer’s premium. The buyer’s premium may attract a charge in lieu of VAT. Please read carefully the “VAT AND OTHER TAX INFORMATION FOR BUYERS” in this catalogue.
1 PRIOR TO aUCTIOn Catalogue Subscriptions If you would like to purchase a catalogue for this auction or any other Phillips de Pury & Company sale, please contact us at +44 20 7318 4010 or +1 212 940 1240. Pre-Sale Estimates Pre-Sale estimates are intended as a guide for prospective buyers. Any bid within the high and low estimate range should, in our opinion, offer a chance of success. However, many lots achieve prices below or above the pre-sale estimates. Where “Estimate on Request” appears, please contact the specialist department for further information. It is advisable to contact us closer to the time of the auction as estimates can be subject to revision. Pre-sale estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT. Pre-Sale Estimates in US Dollars and Euros Although the sale is conducted in pounds sterling, the pre-sale estimates in the auction catalogues may also be printed in US dollars and/or euros. Since the exchange rate is that at the time of catalogue production and not at the date of auction, you should treat estimates in US dollars or euros as a guide only. Catalogue Entries Phillips may print in the catalogue entry the history of ownership of a work of art, as well as the exhibition history of the property and references to the work in art publications. While we are careful in the cataloguing process, provenance, exhibition and literature references may not be exhaustive and in some cases we may intentionally refrain from disclosing the identity of previous owners. Please note that all dimensions of the property set forth in the catalogue entry are approximate. Condition of lots Our catalogues include references to condition only in the descriptions of multiple works (e.g., prints). Such references, though, do not amount to a full description of condition. The absence of reference to the condition of a lot in the catalogue entry does not imply that the lot is free from faults or imperfections. Solely as a convenience to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company may provide condition reports. In preparing such reports, our specialists assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the property and the nature of the auction in which it is included. While condition reports are prepared honestly and carefully, our staff are not professional restorers or trained conservators. We therefore encourage all prospective buyers to inspect the property at the pre-sale exhibitions and recommend, particularly in the case of any lot of significant value, that you retain your own restorer or professional advisor to report to you on the property’s condition prior to bidding. Any prospective buyer of photographs or prints should always request a condition report because all such property is sold unframed, unless otherwise indicated in the condition report. If a lot is sold framed, Phillips de Pury & Company accepts no liability for the condition of the frame. If we sell any lot unframed, we will be pleased to refer the purchaser to a professional framer. Pre-auction Viewing Pre-auction viewings are open to the public and free of charge. Our specialists are available to give advice and condition reports at viewings or by appointment.
Electrical and mechanical lots All lots with electrical and/or mechanical features are sold on the basis of their decorative value only and should not be assumed to be operative. It is essential that, prior to any intended use, the electrical system is verified and approved by a qualified electrician.
to execute an absentee bid at the lowest possible price taking into account the reserve and other bidders. Always indicate a maximum bid, excluding the buyer’s premium and VAT. Unlimited bids will not be accepted. Any absentee bid must be received at least 24 hours in advance of the sale. In the event of identical bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence.
Symbol Key The following key explains the symbols you may see inside this catalogue.
Employee Bidding Employees of Phillips de Pury & Company and our affiliated companies, including the auctioneer, may bid at the auction by placing absentee bids so long as they do not know the reserve when submitting their absentee bids and otherwise comply with our employee bidding procedures.
O Guaranteed Property The seller of lots with this symbol has been guaranteed a minimum price. The guarantee may be provided by Phillips de Pury & Company, by a third party or jointly by us and a third party. Phillips de Pury & Company and third parties providing or participating in a guarantee may benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful.

packing, handling or shipping services directly. However, we will coordinate with shipping agents instructed by you in order to facilitate the packing, handling and shipping of property purchased at Phillips de Pury & Company. Please refer to Paragraph 7 of the Conditions of Sale for more information. Export and Import Licenses Before bidding for any property, prospective bidders are advised to make independent enquiries as to whether a license is required to export the property from the United Kingdom or to import it into another country. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to comply with all import and export laws and to obtain any necessary licenses or permits. The denial of any required license or permit or any delay in obtaining such documentation will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot. Endangered Species Items made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, irrespective of age, percentage or value, may require a license or certificate prior to exportation and additional licenses or certificates upon importation to any country outside the European Union (EU). Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. We suggest that prospective bidders check with their own government regarding wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any necessary export or import licenses or certificates as well as any other required documentation. The denial of any required license or certificate or any delay in obtaining such documentation will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot.
VAT And oThEr TAx InformATIon for buyErS The following paragraphs provide general information to buyers on the VAT and certain other potential tax implications of purchasing property at Phillips de Pury & Company. This information is not intended to be complete. In all cases, the relevant tax legislation takes precedence, and the VAT rates in effect on the day of the auction will be the rates charged. It should be noted that, for VAT purposes only, Phillips de Pury & Company is not usually treated as agent and most property is sold as if it is the property of Phillips de Pury & Company. In the following paragraphs, reference to VAT symbols shall mean those symbols located beside the lot number or the pre-sale estimates in the catalogue (or amending saleroom addendum). 1 ProPErTy wITh no VAT SymboL Where there is no VAT symbol, Phillips de Pury & Company is able to use the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme, and VAT will not normally be charged on the hammer price. Phillips de Pury & Company must bear VAT on the buyer’s premium. Therefore, we will charge an amount in lieu of VAT at 15% on the buyer’s premium. This amount will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified. 2 ProPErTy wITh A ✝ SymboL These lots will be sold under the normal UK VAT rules, and VAT will be charged at 15% on both the hammer price and buyer’s premium. 3 ProPErTy wITh A § SymboL Lots sold to buyers whose registered address is in the EU will be assumed to be remaining in the EU. The property will be invoiced as if it had no VAT symbol. However, if an EU buyer advises us that the property is to be exported from the EU, Phillips de Pury & Company will re-invoice the property under the normal VAT rules. Lots sold to buyers whose address is outside the EU will be assumed to be exported from the EU. The property will be invoiced under the normal VAT rules. Although the hammer price will be subject to VAT, the VAT will be canceled or refunded upon export. The buyer’s premium will always bear VAT. However, buyers who are not intending to export their property from the EU should notify our Client Accounting Department on the day of the sale, and the property will be re-invoiced showing no VAT on the hammer price. 4 ProPErTy SoLd wITh A ‡ or Ω SymboL These lots have been imported from outside the EU to be sold at auction under temporary importation. Property subject to temporary importation will be offered under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme and will be subject to import VAT of either 5% or 15% on the hammer price and an amount in lieu of VAT at 15% on the buyer’s premium. Anyone who wishes to buy outside the
Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme should notify the Client Accounting Department before the sale. ‡ = 5%
Ω = 15%
5 ExPorTS from ThE EuroPEAn unIon The following types of VAT may be cancelled or refunded by Phillips de Pury & Company on exports made within three months of the sale date if strict conditions are met: • The amount in lieu of VAT charged on the buyer’s premium for property sold under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme (i.e., without a VAT symbol). • The VAT on the hammer price for property sold under the normal VAT rules (i.e., with a # or a § symbol). • The import VAT charged on the hammer price and buyer’s premium for property sold under temporary importation (i.e., with a ‡ or a Ω symbol). In each of the above examples, where the appropriate conditions are satisfied, no VAT will be charged if, at or before the time of invoicing, the buyer instructs Phillips de Pury & Company to export the property from the EU. If such instruction is received after payment, a refund of the VAT amount will be made. Where the buyer carries purchases from the EU personally or uses the services of a third party, Phillips de Pury & Company will charge the VAT amount due as a deposit and refund it if the lot has been exported within three months of the date of sale and the following conditions are met: • For lots sold under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme or the normal VAT rules, Phillips de Pury & Company is provided with appropriate documentary proof of export from the EU. Buyers carrying their own property should obtain hand-carry papers from the Shipping Department to facilitate this process; or • For lots sold under temporary importation, Phillips de Pury & Company is provided with a copy of the correct paperwork duly completed and stamped by HM Revenue and Customs which shows the property has been exported from the EU via the UK. It is essential for shippers acting on behalf of buyers to collect copies of original import papers from our Shipping Department. HM Revenue and Customs insist that the correct customs procedures are followed and Phillips de Pury & Company will not be able to issue any refunds where the export documents do not exactly comply with governmental regulations. Property subject to temporary importation must be transferred to another customs procedure immediately if any restoration or repair work is to be carried out. Buyers carrying their own property must obtain hand-carry papers from the Shipping Department, for which a charge of £20 will be made. The VAT refund will be processed once the appropriate paperwork has been returned to Phillips de Pury & Company. Phillips de Pury & Company is not able to cancel or refund any VAT charged on sales made to UK or EU private residents unless the lot is subject to temporary importation and the property is exported from the EU within three months of the sale date. Any refund of VAT is subject to a minimum of £50 per shipment and a processing charge of £20. Buyers intending to export, repair, restore or alter lots under temporary importation should notify the Shipping Department before collection. Failure to do so may result in the import VAT becoming payable immediately and Phillips de Pury & Company being unable to refund the VAT charged on deposit. 6 VAT rEfundS from hm rEVEnuE And CuSTomS Where VAT charged cannot be cancelled or refunded by Phillips de Pury & Company, it may be possible to seek repayment from HM Revenue and Customs. Repayments in this manner are limited to businesses located outside the UK and may be considered for: • VAT charged on the buyer’s premium on property sold under the normal VAT rules. • Import VAT charged on the hammer price and buyer’s premium for lots sold under temporary importation.

CondITIonS of SALE The Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty set forth below govern the relationship between bidders and buyers, on the one hand, and Phillips de Pury & Company and sellers, on the other hand. All prospective buyers should read these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty carefully before bidding. 1 InTroduCTIon Each lot in this catalogue is offered for sale and sold subject to: (a) the Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty; (b) additional notices and terms printed in other places in this catalogue, including the Guide for Prospective Buyers, and (c) supplements to this catalogue or other written material posted by Phillips de Pury & Company in the saleroom, in each case as amended by any addendum or announcement by the auctioneer prior to the auction. By bidding at the auction, whether in person, through an agent, by written bid, by telephone bid or other means, bidders and buyers agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale, as so changed or supplemented, and Authorship Warranty. These Conditions of Sale, as so changed or supplemented, and Authorship Warranty contain all the terms on which Phillips de Pury & Company and the seller contract with the buyer. 2 PhILLIPS dE Pury & ComPAny AS AgEnT Phillips de Pury & Company acts as an agent for the seller, unless otherwise indicated in this catalogue or at the time of auction. On occasion, Phillips de Pury & Company may own a lot, in which case we will act in a principal capacity as a consignor, or may have a legal, beneficial or financial interest in a lot as a secured creditor or otherwise. 3 CATALoguE dESCrIPTIonS And CondITIon of ProPErTy Lots are sold subject to the Authorship Warranty, as described in the catalogue (unless such description is changed or supplemented, as provided in Paragraph 1 above) and in the condition that they are in at the time of the sale on the following basis. (a) The knowledge of Phillips de Pury & Company in relation to each lot is partially dependent on information provided to us by the seller, and Phillips de Pury & Company is not able to and does not carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers acknowledge this fact and accept responsibility for carrying out inspections and investigations to satisfy themselves as to the lots in which they may be interested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall exercise such reasonable care when making express statements in catalogue descriptions or condition reports as is consistent with our role as auctioneer of lots in this sale and in light of (i) the information provided to us by the seller, (ii) scholarship and technical knowledge and (iii) the generally accepted opinions of relevant experts, in each case at the time any such express statement is made. (b) Each lot offered for sale at Phillips de Pury & Company is available for inspection by prospective buyers prior to the auction. Phillips de Pury & Company accepts bids on lots on the basis that bidders (and independent experts on their behalf, to the extent appropriate given the nature and value of the lot and the bidder’s own expertise) have fully inspected the lot prior to bidding and have satisfied themselves as to both the condition of the lot and the accuracy of its description. (c) Prospective buyers acknowledge that many lots are of an age and type which means that they are not in perfect condition. As a courtesy to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company may prepare and provide condition reports to assist prospective buyers when they are inspecting lots. Catalogue descriptions and condition reports may make reference to particular imperfections of a lot, but bidders should note that lots may have other faults not expressly referred to in the catalogue or condition report. All dimensions are approximate. Illustrations are for identification purposes only and cannot be used as precise indications of size or to convey full information as to the actual condition of lots. (d) Information provided to prospective buyers in respect of any lot, including any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by Phillips de Pury & Company. Any pre-sale estimate may not be relied on as a prediction of the selling price or value of the lot and may be revised from time to time by Phillips de Pury & Company in our

absolute discretion. Neither Phillips de Pury & Company nor any of our affiliated companies shall be liable for any difference between the pre-sale estimates for any lot and the actual price achieved at auction or upon resale. 4 Bidding at auction (a) Phillips de Pury & Company has absolute discretion to refuse admission to the auction or participation in the sale. All bidders must register for a paddle prior to bidding, supplying such information and references as required by Phillips de Pury & Company. (b) As a convenience to bidders who cannot attend the auction in person, Phillips de Pury & Company may, if so instructed by the bidder, execute written absentee bids on a bidder’s behalf. Absentee bidders are required to submit bids on the “Absentee Bid Form,” a copy of which is printed in this catalogue or otherwise available from Phillips de Pury & Company. Bids must be placed in the currency of the sale. The bidder must clearly indicate the maximum amount he or she intends to bid, excluding the buyer’s premium and value added tax (VAT). The auctioneer will not accept an instruction to execute an absentee bid which does not indicate such maximum bid. Our staff will attempt to execute an absentee bid at the lowest possible price taking into account the reserve and other bidders. Any absentee bid must be received at least 24 hours in advance of the sale. In the event of identical bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence. (c) Telephone bidders are required to submit bids on the “Telephone Bid Form,” a copy of which is printed in this catalogue or otherwise available from Phillips de Pury & Company. Telephone bidding is available for lots whose low pre-sale estimate is at least £500. Phillips de Pury & Company reserves the right to require written confirmation of a successful bid from a telephone bidder by fax or otherwise immediately after such bid is accepted by the auctioneer. Telephone bids may be recorded and, by bidding on the telephone, a bidder consents to the recording of the conversation. (d) When making a bid, whether in person, by absentee bid or on the telephone, a bidder accepts personal liability to pay the purchase price, as described more fully in Paragraph 6 (a) below, plus all other applicable charges unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Phillips de Pury & Company before the commencement of the auction that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Phillips de Pury & Company and that we will only look to the principal for such payment. (e) Arranging absentee and telephone bids is a free service provided by Phillips de Pury & Company to prospective buyers. While we undertake to exercise reasonable care in undertaking such activity, we cannot accept liability for failure to execute such bids except where such failure is caused by our willful misconduct. (f) Employees of Phillips de Pury & Company and our affiliated companies, including the auctioneer, may bid at the auction by placing absentee bids so long as they do not know the reserve when submitting their absentee bids and otherwise comply with our employee bidding procedures. 5 conduct of the auction (a) Unless otherwise indicated by the symbol • each lot is offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum selling price agreed by Phillips de Pury & Company with the seller. The reserve will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate at the time of the auction. (b)The auctioneer has discretion at any time to refuse any bid, withdraw any lot, re-offer a lot for sale (including after the fall of the hammer) if he or she believes there may be error or dispute and take such other action as he or she deems reasonably appropriate. (c) The auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he or she considers appropriate. In order to protect the reserve on any lot, the auctioneer may place one or more bids on behalf of the seller up to the reserve without indicating he or she is doing so, either by placing consecutive bids or bids in response to other bidders.
(f) If a lot is not sold, the auctioneer will announce that it has been “passed,” “withdrawn,” “returned to owner” or “bought-in.” (g) Any post-auction sale of lots offered at auction shall incorporate these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty as if sold in the auction. 6 Purchase Price and Payment (a) The buyer agrees to pay us, in addition to the hammer price of the lot, the buyer’s premium, plus any applicable value added tax (VAT) and any applicable resale royalty (the “Purchase Price”). The buyer’s premium is 25% of the hammer price up to and including £25,000, 20% of the portion of the hammer price above £25,000 up to and including £500,000 and 12% of the portion of the hammer price above £500,000. (b) VAT is payable in accordance with applicable law. All prices, fees, charges and expenses set out in these Conditions of Sale are quoted exclusive of VAT. (c) If the Artist’s Resale Right Regulations 2006 apply to the lot, the buyer agrees to pay to us an amount equal to the resale royalty provided for in those regulations and we undertake to the buyer to pay such amount to the artist’s collection agent. Lots subject to the Artist’s Resale Right are identified with the symbol ♠ next to the lot number. (d) Unless otherwise agreed, a buyer is required to pay for a purchased lot immediately following the auction regardless of any intention to obtain an export or import license or other permit for such lot. Payments must be made by the invoiced party in pounds sterling either by cash, cheque drawn on a uK bank or wire transfer, as follows: (i) Phillips de Pury & Company will accept payment in cash provided that the total amount paid in cash or cash equivalents does not exceed the local currency equivalent of US$10,000.

Phillips de Pury & Company is not obliged to release a lot to the buyer until title in the lot has passed and appropriate identification has been provided, and any earlier release does not affect the passing of title or the buyer’s unconditional obligation to pay the Purchase Price.
(d) The sale will be conducted in pounds sterling and payment is due in pounds sterling. For the benefit of international clients, pre-sale estimates in the auction catalogue may be shown in US dollars and/or euros and, if so, will reflect approximate exchange rates.

We will coordinate with shipping agents instructed by the buyer, whether or not recommended by Phillips de Pury & Company, in order to facilitate the packing, handling, insurance and shipping of property bought at Phillips de Pury & Company.

Phillips de Pury & Company will notify the buyer if the buyer’s property has been delivered to an affiliated company by way of pledge. (c) If the buyer is in default of payment, the buyer irrevocably authorizes Phillips de Pury & Company to instruct any of our affiliated companies in possession of the buyer’s property to deliver the property by way of pledge as the buyer’s agent to a third party instructed by Phillips de Pury & Company to hold the property on our behalf as security for the payment of the Purchase Price and any other amount due and, no earlier than 30 days from the date of written notice to the buyer, to sell the property in such manner and for such consideration as can

reasonably be obtained on a forced sale basis and to apply the proceeds to any amount owed to Phillips de Pury & Company or any of our affiliated companies after the deduction from sale proceeds of our standard vendor’s commission, all sale-related expenses and any applicable taxes thereon. 10 rescission By PhilliPs de Pury & comPany Phillips de Pury & Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to rescind a sale without notice to the buyer if we reasonably believe that there is a material breach of the seller’s representations and warranties or the Authorship Warranty or an adverse claim is made by a third party. Upon notice of Phillips de Pury & Company’s election to rescind the sale, the buyer will promptly return the lot to Phillips de Pury & Company, and we will then refund the Purchase Price paid to us. As described more fully in Paragraph 13 below, the refund shall constitute the sole remedy and recourse of the buyer against Phillips de Pury & Company and the seller with respect to such rescinded sale. 11 exPort, imPort and endangered sPecies licenses and Permits Before bidding for any property, prospective buyers are advised to make their own enquiries as to whether a license is required to export a lot from the United Kingdom or to import it into another country. Prospective buyers are advised that some countries prohibit the import of property made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, irrespective of age, percentage or value. Accordingly, prior to bidding, prospective buyers considering export of purchased lots should familiarize themselves with relevant export and import regulations of the countries concerned. It is solely the buyer’s responsibility to comply with these laws and to obtain any necessary export, import and endangered species licenses or permits. Failure to obtain a license or permit or delay in so doing will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot. 12 data Protection (a) In connection with the management and operation of our business and the marketing and supply of auction related services, or as required by law, we may ask clients to provide personal information about themselves or obtain information about clients from third parties (e.g., credit information). If clients provide us with information that is defined by law as “sensitive,” they agree that Phillips de Pury & Company and our affiliated companies may use it for the above purposes. Phillips de Pury & Company and our affiliated companies will not use or process sensitive information for any other purpose without the client’s express consent. If you would like further information on our policies on personal data or wish to make corrections to your information, please contact us at +44 (0)20 7318 4010. If you would prefer not to receive details of future events please call the above number. (b) In order to fulfill the services clients have requested, Phillips de Pury & Company may disclose information to third parties such as shippers. Some countries do not offer equivalent legal protection of personal information to that offered within the European Union (EU). It is Phillips de Pury & Company’s policy to require that any such third parties respect the privacy and confidentiality of our clients’ information and provide the same level of protection for client information as provided within the EU, whether or not they are located in a country that offers equivalent legal protection of personal information. By agreeing to these Conditions of Sale, clients agree to such disclosure. 13 limitation of liaBility (a) Subject to subparagraph (e) below, the total liability of Phillips de Pury & Company, our affiliated companies and the seller to the buyer in connection with the sale of a lot shall be limited to the Purchase Price actually paid by the buyer for the lot.

No failure by any party to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right or remedy under these Conditions of Sale shall act as a waiver or release thereof in whole or in part.
(iii) property where the description in the catalogue states that there is a conflict of opinion on the authorship of the property; (iv) property where our attribution of authorship was on the date of sale consistent with the generally accepted opinions of specialists, scholars or other experts; or (v) property whose description or dating is proved inaccurate by means of scientific methods or tests not generally accepted for use at the time of the publication of the catalogue or which were at such time deemed unreasonably expensive or impractical to use. (b) In any claim for breach of the Authorship Warranty, Phillips de Pury & Company reserves the right, as a condition to rescinding any sale under this warranty, to require the buyer to provide to us at the buyer’s expense the written opinions of two recognized experts approved in advance by Phillips de Pury & Company. We shall not be bound by any expert report produced by the buyer and reserve the right to consult our own experts at our expense. If Phillips de Pury & Company agrees to rescind a sale under the Authorship Warranty, we shall refund to the buyer the reasonable costs charged by the experts commissioned by the buyer and approved in advance by us. (c) Subject to the exclusions set forth in subparagraph (a) above, the buyer may bring a claim for breach of the Authorship Warranty provided that (i) he or she has notified Phillips de Pury & Company in writing within three months of receiving any information which causes the buyer to question the authorship of the lot, specifying the auction in which the property was included, the lot number in the auction catalogue and the reasons why the authorship of the lot is being questioned and (ii) the buyer returns the lot to Phillips de Pury & Company in the same condition as at the time of its auction and is able to transfer good and marketable title in the lot free from any third party claim arising after the date of the auction. (d) The buyer understands and agrees that the exclusive remedy for any breach of the Authorship Warranty shall be rescission of the sale and refund of the original Purchase Price paid. This remedy shall constitute the sole remedy and recourse of the buyer against Phillips de Pury & Company, any of our affiliated companies and the seller and is in lieu of any other remedy available as a matter of law. This means that none of Phillips de Pury & Company, any of our affiliated companies or the seller shall be liable for loss or damage beyond the remedy expressly provided in this Authorship Warranty, whether such loss or damage is characterized as direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential, or for the payment of interest on the original Purchase Price.
(e) No term of these Conditions of Sale shall be enforceable under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by anyone other than the buyer. 16 law and Jurisdiction (a) The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty, the conduct of the auction and any matters related to any of the foregoing shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with English law. (b) For the benefit of Phillips de Pury & Company, all bidders and sellers agree that the Courts of England are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle all disputes arising in connection with all aspects of all matters or transactions to which these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty relate or apply. All parties agree that Phillips de Pury & Company shall retain the right to bring proceedings in any court other than the Courts of England. (c) All bidders and sellers irrevocably consent to service of process or any other documents in connection with proceedings in any court by facsimile transmission, personal service, delivery by mail or in any other manner permitted by English law, the law of the place of service or the law of the jurisdiction where proceedings are instituted at the last address of the bidder or seller known to Phillips de Pury & Company.
