undeveloped land bordering Frensham Common Country Park, which he transformed into The Pride of the Valley Sculpture Park, which he dedicated to his childhood hero David Lloyd George, who lived nearby prior to his death in 1945. Taking advantage of the natural contours of the undulating Surrey Hills, Eddie has created the perfect haven for the display of sculpture, with paths meandering through mixed heathland and woodland in a natural valley enhanced by 3 lakes fed by two natural streams.

Eddie Powell by Peter Newell

Eddie has long been a passionate advocate of promoting upcoming sculptors and is a regular visitor to art college graduation shows. Amongst the exciting new talent included in the sale is lot 518 Elemental Mass a monumental corton steel sculpture by an emerging sculptor Philip Rae-Scott. Undoubtedly, one of the highlights of the sale is the bronze bust of Sir Winston Churchill taken from the plaster of the iconic full length figure of Churchill by Ivor Roberts-Jones RA which stands in Parliament Square, Westminster. The casting process was supervised by the sculptor Nigel Boonham FRBS, Past President of the Society of Portrait Sculptors, on behalf of the Trustees of the Ivor Roberts-Jones Estate and is number 1 of an edition of only 6 which will ever be made. Shortly after his death in 2002, Eddie started collecting the works of Robert Lenkiewicz, the maverick and popular artist, whose work has continued to grow in popularity. The sale will include an important group of over 20 pictures by him including lot 624 the iconic picture of Lenkiewicz with Samantha.

Eddie’s Eye A Collector’s Vision Eddie Powell, the owner and Curator of The Sculpture Park, in Churt, Surrey, was born and brought up in South Wales. After a luckily abortive attempt at studying Mechanical Engineering at Cardiff University, he graduated from Guildford College of Art with a 1st class Honours degree in Photography and Sculpture in 1978, culminating in being given the rare opportunity of a one man exhibition at the Photographers Gallery in London’s West End, entitled “Captivity”. Since then he has combined commercial careers as varied as a hotelier, interior designer, metal and ceramics manufacturer, with his love and passion of photography and most particularly, sculpture. This came to fruition in 1997 with his purchase of 10 acres of

Eddie has also been persuaded to sell some of his own photography, which, if proof were needed, are a testament to his powers of observation. Some date back to his first solo exhibition “Captivity” at the Photographers Gallery in London’s West End. Also included are some of Eddie’s sculptures sold under his pseudonym Wilfred Pritchard, the name of his grandfather who first interested him in sculpture and how to properly observe things. His witty and often humorous observations on life are exemplified in lots 623-626. Eddie has sold his pieces under his pseudonym for as much as £40,000 over the last 5 years, some of which are now in public collections, both in this country and abroad. Eddie’s recent decision to downsize to a smaller house has necessitated this sale, together with his quest to make the Sculpture Park a constantly evolving environment showcasing new sculptors, gives buyers the opportunity to acquire and enjoy pieces formerly in his collection.

He combines a talent for creating unique and powerful artworks with a knowledge and dedication to re-establish the traditions of his art form, an undertaking that is bringing him much acclaim.

He studied at Croydon College of Art (1961-64) and at St Martin's School of Art (1964-67) where he was a student of Anthony Caro. After art school Hide supported his work as a sculptor through teaching and successively held posts at Norwich School of Art (1968-74) and at St Martin's School of Art (1971-78), where he taught on the postgraduate course from 1974. He moved to Canada, and since 1977 has been Professor of Sculpture at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. The move to Canada gave Hide the time and space to develop in his own terms. It was liberating for him to be away from influences prevalent in Britain, and his work has consequently developed a strong individual character. He has always worked in steel, and his large abstract pieces are confident expressions of mass and weight. £12,000-18,000

518 Philip Rae-Scott Elemental Mass Corten Steel Unique Signed 477½cm.; 15ft 8ins high Philip Rae-Scott was born in rural Devon in November 1991. After becoming interested in sculpture at school it was a revelation that an object without a "function" could be as worthwhile as one with a function. Growing up passionately concerned with well built, functional objects, the transformation towards favouring “functionless” sculpture came as a shock. Art took precedence when he realised that he could achieve closer to "perfection" with sculpture than with functional objects. Furthermore, it is possible to "finish" a sculpture whereas mechanical, functional projects are never finished; there is always something to wear out, or improve on. His work tends to be hard-edged, geometric, and solid, with a concern for quality materials, surface finish and longevity. He prefers producing taller than human height sculpture, since his belief is that as humans, we instinctively view any object in relation to our own size. It is part of our survival instincts to treat an object larger than ourselves with some respect and even trepidation. His studio is in Lewes, East Sussex and he has exhibited in many shows in the south of England, in Cork Street, London. His work can be found in several private collections. £30,000-50,000

526 Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, (1888-1964) Red and Blue Chair Laminated wood 1980’s 88cm.; 34½ins high by 80cm.; 31½ins wide by 66cm.; 26ins deep Sold with original label from the Cassini furniture firm, who produced an edition of 2000, of which this is numbered 1917, which coincidentally is the year of its original design.

Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (1888–1964) was a Dutch furniture designer and architect. One of the principal members of the Dutch artistic movement called De Stijl, Rietveld is famous for his Red and Blue Chair which was designed in 1917 and represents one of the first explorations by the De Stijl art movement in three dimensions. The original chair was constructed of unstained beech wood and was not painted until the early 1920s. Fellow member of De Stijl and architect, Bart van der Leck, saw his original model and suggested that he add bright colours. He built the new model of thinner wood and painted it entirely black with areas of primary colours attributed to De Stijl movement. The effect of this colour scheme made the chair seem to almost disappear against the black walls and floor of the Schröder house where it was later placed. The areas of colour appeared to float, giving it an almost transparent structure. The Museum of Modern Art, which houses the chair in its permanent collection, a gift from Philip Johnson, states that the red, blue and yellow colours were added around 1923. £1200-1800

Are his armchairs, chests of drawers and couches functional? Certainly so: the armchairs are thrones for tribal chiefs, dignitaries full of their own selfimportance or people who are fully aware of the value of due decorum; the chests of drawers are caskets for documents or valuables and secrets; the sofas can only accommodate couples with as tousled, yet externally controlled passions, as the symmetrical and balanced tangle of their forms and constituent elements. Michel Haillard has been collecting these elements for years as they surfaced during his explorations and investigations. Exploration is the right word because of what his calls his “tribale pursuite” (an eccentric term that 34


reflects perfectly the character of his works): both wild (because pleasantly perverted) and playful (because it does not exclude humour to the second degree). Haillard combines the indisputable natural dimension of his materials – corns or tusks of different origin, skins of leopard, crocodiles and zebras which have already delighted several generations of hunts – with a whimsical spirit, unbridled imagination, a manifest nostalgia for pomp and irony. His ‘pursuit’ is concurrently a coherent, deliberately extended creation of the unexpected, the unusual, while being tribal by its haughty, aristocratic character, retaining all the while an underlying, non-confessed awareness of excess.

for twelve years, she has been a full-time sculptor since 1988. The main body of her work is figuratively based, and her primary inspiration is the human body, in movement, at rest,

clothed or nude. She exhibits widely throughout the UK, and is held in private collections throughout Europe, the USA, Australasia and the Middle East. ÂŁ20,000-30,000


535 Simon Wyard Acrobats Bronze Signed and numbered 4 of 9 92cm.; 36ins high by 28cm.; 11ins wide by 12cm.; 30ins deep As a child whose parents were both artists, Simon loved to paint and draw, and as a teenager took to sculpting in clay, then spent four years at Maidstone College of Art studying painting and printmaking for a degree in Fine Art. Further studies at Goldsmiths College included training as an art teacher, and studying ceramics – working on large figurative bowls and figurative sculptures. He now works loosely in pencil, charcoal ink and paint to help produce ideas as small maquettes before working in clay on the larger finished piece. From 1988 to 1995 Wyard lived in the South of France working, exhibiting, and further developing his ideas by visiting many continental museums, galleries and cave paintings. His work has largely been concerned with using the human figure as a point of departure to produce dynamic forms that also suggest an intimate connection to the landscape. Now living and working in the Exmoor National Park, ideas are sparked from patterns in the surrounding rocks, trees and banks of undulating moss, which often echo forms seen on his travels throughout Europe. £3000-5000

His creations were heavy and solid, block mass structures, which Feng now attacks and breaks down mercilessly. The new incomplete and broken style is not to present a fragmented sight, but puts forward a shattered and scarred image as if denuded. The figures portrayed are more powerful and expressive than earlier works with a complete and clean appearance. He is now studying for a further degree at the New York Academy of Art. His work has featured in numerous solo exhibitions in China, USA and Europe, he has won various awards for his sculpture which is held in a number of collections worldwide. £20,000-30,000

“Poverty: lack of money, food, shelter- but ultimately about inequality and lack of power. This piece explores the gap between those who are living in poverty and those who are not. Here are two circular vessels. The most conspicuous of these, are vertically oriented shallow lens, represents the human eye. It stares challengingly at us. The eye is society’s conscience. Beneath sits a deep bowl, it’s interior hidden from us. If we come closer we see another eye looking up from its base. This is the eye of the poor- unseen from a distance and lost as we walk away. This eye requires more from us to get our attention. The juxtaposition of the two vessels implies that one vessel brings attention to the other. In essence they are the same. Poverty is staring at us and can be uncomfortable to witness. But once we have seen, the challenge is to act. The piece was commissioned in 2010 by Christian Aid who exhibited it throughout the cathedrals of Britain over a three year period. It was launched at Southwark Catherdral by Loretta Minghella. The surreal sculpture animated their campaign about poverty, drawing in visitors to see a unique and unusual piece of work formed of two huge enamelled vessels which are in the form of eyes internally. It is made from spun steel and fired industrial enamels. The sculpture is by contemporary glass artist and enameller Mel Howse. It features we believe the largest hand worked enamelled bowl ever made at a diameter of approximately 1.2m and 600mm deep. Mel is an experimental glass artist who pushes the boundaries within her commissions. Her largest work is a 500m2 glass façade for a Sainsbury flagship store- hand made in fired enamels. Her most unusual piece is the Artbath in cast iron and vitreous enamel. She has long worked in the industrial environment to create asrt despite scale. Summers Place Auctions are waiving their vendor’s commission on this lot to benefit Christian Aid. £5000-8000

He always maintained his links with Italy and had a home in Pietrasanto in Tuscany from 1967. Initially a student of architecture and sculpture, he decided to specialise in sculpture and studied at the Accademia di Brere in Milan. He gradually established himself as a portrait sculptor and also, like Degas, developed an interest in the portrayal of ballet dancers. Nureyev, Fonteyn, Sibley and Dowell were among the many dancers who came to his studio. This fascination with the human form manifested itself in a number of interpretations of the naked female form. His works can be found in many public and private collections including the Vatican.

Bronze edition 1/6 cast directly from the plaster taken from the statue of Sir Winston Churchill in Parliament Square. The casting process supervised by the sculptor Nigel Boonham FRBS, Past President of the Society of Portrait Sculptors, on behalf of the Trustees of

the Ivor Roberts-Jones Estate. Bronze marked ‘1/6 Estate IR-J 2015’ Ivor Roberts-Jones, RA was born in Oswestry, where one of his works, "The Borderland Farmer", stands in the town centre. He studied at Oswestry

School and Worksop College before attending Goldsmiths College, London and the Royal Academy of Arts. During the Second World War he served in the Burma Campaign Roberts-Jones was a founder member of the


Society of Portrait Sculptors in 1953 and was head of the sculpture department at Goldsmith’s College of Art from 1964-1978. He established his reputation for portrait sculpture including commissions for Yehudi Menuhin and George Thomas, Viscount Tonypandy, as well as over life size figures including Field Marshall Viscount slim of Burma and Field Marshall Viscount Alanbrooke both of which stand in Whitehall. “With his statue of Sir Winston Churchill in Parliament Square, unveiled in November 1973, Ivor Roberts-Jones created one of the grandest works of public sculpture in Britain.“ The Times, December 1996 Statue in Parliament Square of Sir Winston Churchill

In 1971 he was commissioned to produce the full-length statue of Winston Churchill which now stands in Parliament Square, London, which is, without doubt, his most famous work. He later

indicated that the pose of the statue had been largely inspired by the famous photograph of a grim-faced and sorrowful Churchill inspecting the smouldering bomb wreckage of the chamber of his beloved House of Commons on the morning of 11th May 1941. Ivor Roberts-Jones ‘portrays him as the wartime leader at the time of the Normandy Landings and the return of the Allies to Europe. Consequently the figure exudes total confidence: facing the Houses of Parliament, their greatest servant in modern times is portrayed as a giant at the height of his powers’.

After the statue was unveiled in 1973 it ‘provided a much needed breakthrough in post-War portraiture’, subsequently the statue has rightly achieved iconic status. In 1987 the statue appeared in party political broadcasts for the Conservative party, thanks to Mrs Thatcher’s intense admiration for and identification with Churchill. It subsequently featured in Simon Schama’s award winning History of Britain broadcast on BBC1 in 20002 and again five years later in Andrew Marr’s History of Modern Britain. Perhaps the apogee of the statue’s status within the British imagination came on 27th July 2012, when it was prominently featured in the ‘Happy and Glorious’ section of Danny Boyle’s Isles of Wonder film, broadcast during the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. In 1995 Ivor Roberts-Jones was commissioned by the Czech government to make another cast of the Churchill figure to stand in the recently renamed Winston Churchill Square in Prague. Ivor replied that his original mould for his figure in Parliament Square had disintegrated and he doubted very much whether Parliament would allow him to make a cast from the statue himself. He did produce a clay maquette for a new Churchill head, but died a couple of months after sending it to the Meridian foundry. After further negotiation, his widow, Monica Roberts-Jones gave her permission for a copy to be made of the statue in Parliament Square, somewhat swayed by the fact that this proposal had the support of Lady Thatcher and the Czech President Vaclav Havel. With the British Foreign Office and the Royal Parks Agency also giving their project their blessing, permission was given and an upcoming portrait sculptor, Nigel Boonham was given the task of supervising the making of a cast from the Churchill statue in Parliament Square. It is from the plaster cast of the head and shoulders made at this time, that this bronze was cast. The Trustees of the Ivor Roberts-Jones Estate have kindly given permission for a limited edition of only 6 bronze casts to be made from the plaster of the head and shoulders of the Churchill figure of which this is number 1. No other casts will be authorised and as such this represents a unique opportunity to acquire an enduring sculpture of Churchill, voted as the greatest ever Briton.

“It is a remarkable statue that manages to capture Winston Churchill’s love for the parliament he spent so many decades in, with the defiant gaze that represents the determination with which he led our country in its darkest and greatest hour.” Rt Hon.

He worked for a year as an assistant to Henry Moore and taught at St Martin’s, a calling he would continue throughout his career. He was a professor of sculpture at The Royal College of Art, and the Royal Academy, a Trustee of the Tate Gallery and was awarded a CBE in 1974. In 1990 he was made a member of the RA and Professor Emeritus at the Royal College of Art, and King was elected president

of the Royal Academy from 1999 to 2004. His early works of the 1950s were generally small and made in clay and plaster, and were described as being of a robust, brutalist and surrealist nature. He started to use fibreglass and colour, and seminal works such as Rosebud (1963), Genghis

Khan (1963) and Twilight (1963) brought his work to the attention of the wider art world. A period of abstract sculpture often combining various materials then turned in the 1980’s to a more figurative way of working before moving on again to make large-scale ceramic vessels using a

rough mix of clay and newspaper. Phillip King is an artist of international standing, he represented the UK at the 34th Venice Biennial in 1968, and in 1998 was the first British artist since Henry Moore be honoured with an exhibition at the Forte di Belvedere in Florence. £10,000-15,000 67

575 Sean Crampton Dame Kind Fabricated bronze Unique 166cm.; 65½ins high by 149cm.; 58½ins wide Sean Crampton was born in Manchester, the eldest son of an architect, and studied at the School of Art in Birmingham, then the Central School of Art before working on his own and at Fernand Leger’s studio in Paris. During the War he saw action in the Western Desert and Sicily, and was awarded the Military Cross and the George Medal. The years (1946-50) that he spent as Professeur de Sculpture at the AngloFrench Art Centre in St John’s Wood, London, he would subsequently look back upon as being influential in his development as a sculptor; they witnessed his increasing technical mastery and creative adventurousness, which went hand in hand with his own inspirations – his love of mythology, history (both human and natural) and the deeper world of the spirit. Besides exhibiting at the Royal Academy and other institutional galleries, Crampton held 17 one-man shows in the West End over a period of nearly four decades. Works on a more heroic scale were commissioned by civic organisations, colleges (two at Cambridge), churches and convents. He was particularly gratified when he was asked to create the war memorial for his own regiment. Several of his most notable works earned him awards from the Civic Trust and from the Royal Society of British Sculptors. He had been a member of that body since 1953 and served as its president for five years (1966-71). £30,000-40,000 79

Growing up in this environment, he worked his weekends and summers at a nearby sculpture park, and the early seeds had been sown. After completing his education, he spent some time travelling and working abroad, in Australia, India, Thailand, Cambodia and West Africa, before returning to work at the sculpture park, during which he was able to study the sculptural traditions of other countries, as well as analysing the work of other contemporary sculptors. Man Made is not a religious piece but a work focussing more on the complexity of man’s creations and intellect with an underlying analysis that the world as a whole is in our hands and the the crucifix is an indication that all religon which has heavily influenced most of the population and history to date is also man-made. This piece has been ingeniously designed and constructed using a large variety of metals and alloys further emphasising the dichotomy between the traditional crucifix and this modern made made piece of art design.

Jim Unsworth was born in Wigan, Lancashire in 1958. After reading Fine Art at Reading University he worked for 14 years in a studio in Greenwich amongst sculptors who gained a reputation for making welded steel sculptures. In 1991 he exhibited in Kunst Europa at the Kuntsverein in Kirchzarten, Freiburg, part of a nationwide

In 1994 he moved to a studio in Bow, London which precipitated a change in his work. Large abstract sculptures gave way to figurative works on the theme of the circus. A strong narrative element became important, and the form of the elephant in particular took precedence, not only in large welded steel sculptures but in smaller modelled versions cast in bronze. As Jim Unsworth observes; “Essentially it is man’s relationship with animals, in particular to elephants,

that inspires me to want to express my ideas through them. I use the elephants as a motif or vehicle to express complex ideas about the world we live in. I see them as a metaphor both for man’s relationship to animals and for man’s relationship to himself: the nature of wild, captive or tame; the nature of freedom and control; the nature of partnership and individuality. My personal relationship to elephants is particular; childhood memories, early experiences of the circus, of seeing an elephant for the first time and re-living


the wonderment that something so visually awkward yet ultimately so sophisticated could exist in the world. The form and spirit of elephants are fascinatingprehensile trunks that often become serpentlike; large padded, silent feet; folds of skin; a beady eye. They possess a great sincerity and humility often tinged with humour.

They have immense strength yet are very gentle. They have both male and female attributes, can be aggressive or placid. Their engagement with us is as equals, and they relate to us with a closeness which is always awe-inspiring and often acutely disarming.

The Ministry of Alternative TransportM.A.T. M.A.T. was established in 2008 by Francis Thorburn. Originally operating under the name of the "Alternative Transport Network", the institution was set up to research the potential of man powered transport for the fast approaching age of the "petrol-less" world. With

the appointment of the "Minister of Alternative Transport" (Francis Thorburn) M.A.T. was born. To date M.A.T. has created and tested 13 manpowered vessels including two amphibious prototypes. The aim is to continue developing this fleet to deal with the predicted overwhelming demand. All the vehicles

rely on the idea of collaborative labour to complete their specified journeys. With the absence of the combustion engine M.A.T. will usher in a return to our physicality once lost in the age of technology. For further information on M.A.T go to;www.ministryofalternat ivetransport.com


Francis Thorburn is a practising artist working with performance and sculpture. Since 2008 he has been developing a series of processional performances, which use sculptural devices to head the procession. He wishes to fascinate and capture the audiences' attention

with the absurd and the extravagant, through ritualized action and the epic machine. His performance work has been commissioned by Tate Modern, Tate Britain, the Centre for Contemporary Art Warsaw (Poland) and the Folkestone Triennial. He

has exhibited across the UK with recent shows at the Olympic Park, Focal Point Gallery, The Grundy Gallery, The New Art Gallery, Generator Projects, and Embassy Gallery. Thorburn has also shown internationally in Australia, Korea, Portugal and Poland.

THE LIFE AND WORK OF ROBERT LENKIEWICZ (1941-2002) ROBERT LENKIEWICZ was born in London in 1941, the son of refugees who ran a Jewish hotel in Fordwych Road catering mostly to elderly residents. At sixteen Lenkiewicz attended St Martin’s College of Art & Design and later the Royal Academy. However, he was virtually impervious to contemporary art fashions, being more interested in his favourite paintings in the National Gallery. Inspired by the example of Albert Schweitzer, Lenkiewicz threw open the doors of his studios to anyone in need of a roof – down and outs, addicts, criminals and the mentally ill congregated there. These individuals were the subjects of his paintings as a young man. After moving to Plymouth in 1969, the artist attracted so many vagrants and street alcoholics that Lenkiewicz was forced to commandeer derelict warehouses to house them. One of these warehouses also served as a studio and in 1973 became the exhibition space for the Vagrancy Project. The Vagrancy Project consisted in paintings of the vagrants and a large book of notes written by the `dossers’ themselves and those involved in their care and control. The format of the ‘Project’ – combining thematically linked paintings with the publication of research notes and the collected observations of the sitters – was to be used consistently throughout Lenkiewicz’s career. Projects such as Mental

128

Handicap (1976), Old Age (1979), Suicide (1980), and Death (1982), continued to examine the lives of ostracised, hidden sections of the community. In a parallel line of inquiry, Lenkiewicz often adopted a metaphorical pictorial style to portray ‘human physiology in a state of crisis’ in Projects such as Love & Romance (1975), Love & Mediocrity (1976), Jealousy (1977), and Orgasm (1978). This line of enquiry culminated in his grand study of obsessive attraction, The Painter with Mary (1981). The centrepiece of this Project, a huge folio of notes and sketches documenting every significant event in his four-year pursuit of the woman who became his third wife, was published in 2014 as a sumptuous iBook by HarperCollins. These Projects examining `the falling in love experience’ led the artist to believe that the physiology of desire itself was `the straight road to fascism’ – the tendency to treat another person as property. Lenkiewicz concluded that the kinds of sensations people felt when a lover abandoned them or when their cherished beliefs were threatened were identical to the withdrawal symptoms and anxieties experienced by addicts or alcoholics. The Projects thus became an extended study in `addictive behaviour’ – the title of his 20th Project, unfinished at the time of his death. His own observations were


supported by his 25,000 volume private library, which contained large sections on philosophy, theology, fascism, anti-Semitism, the witchcraft phenomenon and the occult, and which he viewed as a history of `fanatical belief systems’. Robert Lenkiewicz died on 5 August 2002 from a serious heart condition. In his obituary of Lenkiewicz, art critic David Lee observed: `Robert’s greatest gift was to show us that an artist could be genuinely concerned about social and domestic issues and attempt the difficult task of expressing this conscience through the deeply unfashionable medium of figurative painting. In that sense he was one of few serious painters of contemporary history.’ The Lenkiewicz Foundation, 2015 The Lenkiewicz Foundation is a registered educational charity (No. 1063357) created to preserve and disseminate the library, paintings and other original works of artist Robert Lenkiewicz (1941-2002). Through exhibitions and related educational activities the charity aims to raise awareness of the thought-provoking life, work and ideas of Robert Lenkiewicz. www.robertlenkiewicz.org info@lenkiewiczfoundation.org

THE EDDIE POWELL ROBERT O. LENKIEWICZ COLLECTION Through recent public gallery exhibitions such as ‘SelfPortraits 1956–2002’ at London's Ben Uri Jewish Museum of Art (2008), ‘Still Lives’ at the Royal West of England Academy in Bristol (2011) and ‘Human, All Too Human’, the first international touring exhibition of his work in Leipzig and Nuremberg (2013), Robert Lenkiewicz is now gaining long-overdue recognition as one of this country's most significant post-war figurative painters. Lenkiewicz has always been an artist whom people either love or loathe with little half measures. While he was alive, right from his very early years in Plymouth, the artist’s many ‘patrons’, who came from all walks of life – from nobility to businessmen, from lawyers and doctors to taxi drivers and plumbers – would support him on a kind of feudal bartering system, often reinforced by Lenkiewicz’s magnetic charisma. In return for paintings, they would pay for his vast studios and their running costs, his paints and materials, as well as the cost of his ever-growing library. 129


is that confidence in your own taste, the pursuit of your own judgement of quality and the determination to acquire it, which is the unmistakable sign of the real collector. What perhaps strikes me most about Eddie Powell’s collection of Lenkiewicz’s paintings is that it reveals an artist totally at odds with the popular media’s usual clichéd caricature of him as a serial womanizer, embalmer of tramps and faker of his own death. The paintings which Eddie has collected over the years get straight to the dark heart of Lenkiewicz’s vision with no punches pulled, and, in particular, the artist’s obsession with decay and mortality. ‘To paint oneself is to paint a picture of someone who is going to die’, Lenkiewicz often remarked. ‘And the same applies if one paints anyone else’, he added.

However, in the years since his death, new collectors have emerged, equally passionate about the man and his work. All these obsessive collectors have tended to share one particular characteristic: they are fiercely independently-minded, caring little about current art fashions or what the art critics tell them to like. They certainly have an appreciation of skill and tradition in art, but, more significantly, they seem to subconsciously recognise in Lenkiewicz a fellow free-spirit and a genuine radical. Eddie Powell is one of these collectors, whom I first met at a Sotheby’s auction when we were both bidding for the same Lenkiewicz painting: a powerful self-portrait with model. I managed to buy it on the day but then, about a week later, Eddie called me, asking how much I wanted for it. We agreed a price. It wasn’t long before I started to regret it and think that he’d had the best of the deal after all. The painting was later included in the exhibition of self-portraits at the Ben Uri Museum. But it

Lenkiewicz’s aim was to capture the transient and haunting qualities of his subjects. His empathy for the disenfranchised, society’s down-and-outs and misfits, resulted in some extraordinary and haunting paintings. Beginning with Vagrancy in1973, and in so-called ‘Projects’ on Mental Handicap, Old Age, Suicide and 1982’s Death, his fifteenth Project, he examined in depth the effects of human isolation and brought wide public attention to hidden sections of the community. He painted figuratively at a time when Pop Art, Abstraction, as well as the emerging new forms of Video and Conceptual Art, were the flavour of the day in British Art. Although unfashionable in the art world of his time, Lenkiewicz’s work is proving that not only does it have the power to communicate directly with people about their own lives and the world they live in but also attract a new generation of shrewd collectors.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

The following are examples of the terminology used in this catalogue. Any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date, age provenance and condition is a statement of opinion and is not to be taken as a statement of fact. Please read carefully the terms of the Authenticity Guarantee and the Conditions of Business for Buyers set out in this catalogue. Antonio Canova In our opinion a work by the artist. In the case of 19th century sculpture this indicates that the work was made in our opinion either by the artist or by a foundry or editor who had the rights to reproduce the artist’s original model either during the artist’s lifetime or for a defined posthumous period. (When the artist’s forenames are not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not , indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named). Attributed to Antonio Canova In our opinion probably a work by the artist but less certainty as to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category. Manner of Antonio Canova

In renaissance style In our opinion a work executed in the style of the renaissance but not necessarily of that period. The term signed and /or dated and/or inscribed means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/ or inscription are original to the model or authorized by the sculptor’s studio or editor but not necessarily from the hand of the artist. The term bearing the signature and/or date and /or inscription means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/ or inscription have been added at a later date. Dimensions are given height before width Condition of lots Condition is only noted in the catalogue where an item is severely distressed. Prospective purchasers making commission bids without viewing the sale can be given condition reports on any lot on request.

Please refer to the Conditions of Business for Buyers.

In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date After Antonio Canova In our opinion a copy at a later date of a known work by the artist. In the 19th century this indicates that in our opinion the work was made by a foundry or editor at a later date and apparently without exclusive rights. Italian 18th century In our opinion a work from that region and of that date. Probably Italian 18th century In our opinion a work that is likely to be from that region and/or of that date but less certainty as to the region and/or date than is expressed in the preceding category.

SUMMERS PLACE AUCTIONS AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE If Summers Place Auctions Ltd sells an item which subsequently is shown to be a "counterfeit", subject to the terms below Summers Place Auctions Ltd will set aside the sale and refund to the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to Summers Place Auctions Ltd for the item, in the currency of the original sale.

For these purposes, "counterfeit" means a lot that in Summers Place Auctions Ltd reasonable opinion is an imitation created to deceive as to authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description of such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue (taking into account any Glossary of Terms). No lot shall be considered a counterfeit by reason only of any damage and/or restoration and/or modification work of any kind (including repainting or over-painting). Please note that this Guarantee does not apply if either:(i)

the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally accepted opinion(s) of scholar(s) and expert(s) at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or

(ii)

the only method of establishing at the date of the sale that the item was a counterfeit would have been by means of processes not then generally available or accepted, unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely to have caused damage to the lot or likely (in Summers Place Auctions Ltd reasonable opinion) to have caused loss of value to the lot; or

158

(iii)

there has been no material loss in value of the lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description.

This Guarantee is provided for a period of five (5) years after the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the Buyer and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:(i)

notify Summers Place Auctions Ltd in writing within three (3) months of receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the item, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is thought to be counterfeit; and

(ii)

return the item to Summers Place Auctions Ltd in the same condition as at the date of sale to the Buyer and be able to transfer good title in the item, free from any third party claims arising after the date of the sale.

Summers Place Auctions Ltd has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. Summers Place Auctions Ltd may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer's cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Summers Place Auctions Ltd and the Buyer. Summers Place Auctions Ltd shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event Summers Place Auctions Ltd decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports.

It is assumed that items sold to buyers whose address is outside the EU, will be exported from the EU. The property will be invoiced under the normal VAT rules (see ‘Property with a † symbol above). Property sold with a ‡ or Ω symbol These items have been imported from outside the EU to be sold at auction under temporary importation. When Summers Place Auctions Ltd release such property to buyers in the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay Summers Place Auctions Ltd import VAT at the following rates on the hammer price: ‡ @ 5% Ω @ 20% Summers Place Auctions Ltd must bear VAT on the buyer’s premium and hence will charge an amount in lieu of VAT at 20% on this premium, which will not be shown separately on the invoice.

purchase (for example, the Use Tax payable on import of purchased items to certain states of the USA). Buyers should obtain their own advice in this regard. Artist’s Resale Right Purchase of lots marked with the following symbol s will be subject to payment of the Artist’s Resale Right, at a percentage of the hammer price calculated as follows: Portion of the hammer price (in €) Royalty Rate From 0 to 50,000 4% From 50,000.01 to 200,000 3% From 200,000.01 to 350,000 1% From 350,000.01 to 500,000 0.5% Exceeding 500,000 0.25% The Artist’s Resale Right payable will be the aggregate of the amounts payable under the above rate bands, subject to a maximum royalty payable of €12,500 for any single work each time it is sold.

Calculation of the artist’s resale right will be based on the Pounds Sterling / Euro reference exchange rate quoted on the date of the sale by the European Central Bank. Property with a ´ symbol. Some of these items require specialist dismantling and may not be available for immediate collection after the sale. Intending purchasers should check the status of these lots before the sale. 3. Before the Auction Pre-sale Estimates Pre-sale estimates are intended as a guide for prospective buyers but all lots can realise prices above or below the pre-sale estimates. Seller’s confidential reserves are set no higher than the low pre-sale estimates, except in the rare circumstance in which the reserve has been set in a foreign currency and the exchange rate has fluctuated. It is advisable to consult us nearer the time of sale as estimates can be subject to revision. The estimates printed in the auction catalogue do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT. Provenance In certain circumstances, Summers Place Auctions Ltd may print in the catalogue the history of ownership of a work of art if such information contributes to scholarship or is otherwise well known and assists in distinguishing the work of art. However, the identity of the seller or previous owners may not be disclosed for a variety of reasons. For example, such information may be excluded to accommodate a seller's request for confidentiality or because the identity of prior owners is unknown given the age of the work of art. 159

First you require a catalogue. Once you have the catalogue, you need to register your interest in bidding. This can be done quickly and simply by presenting one of our viewing staff with some photographic ID (a modern driver’s license or passport is ideal) or by scanning a copy and emailing it to us. We will take a copy of the ID and a registration form can be completed. Next give us your bid(s). This can be done by filling in the bidding slip found in your catalogue. If you are sending your bidding slip to Summers Place Auctions by post, please mark the envelope “Sealed Bid” so that we know it contains a sealed bid and do not open it accidentally. Bids may also be sent by e-mail. If you choose to send the bid electronically, please e-mail sealedbids@summersplaceauctions.com . This is a closed mailbox and will not be opened before the advertised time. However, we strongly recommend that if you have not viewed the sale in person, that you ask for condition reports on any lots you are thinking of leaving bids on. Sealed bid auctions differ from established auctions in that the bid left is the bid that will be exercised in full. Therefore, if you decide to leave a bid of, say, £900 on the lot estimated at £800-£1000 and there is no higher bid, (where two identical bids are received, the earliest received bid will take precedence), £900 will secure the lot subject to buyer’s premium and VAT on the premium. We will contact you if you have been the successful bidder to inform you of the lot or lots that you have purchased, so that you can make payment and make arrangements for delivery. We have had many years of experience dealing with both UK carriers and international shippers and are happy to obtain quotations and facilitate transport and shipping of single lots and multiple purchases to anywhere in the world. Bids will be opened on Thursday 16th April and sales results will appear on the Summers Place Auctions website. Please be mindful that we will have to process a large number of bids, which does take time. However, we will endeavour to get this accomplished as quickly as possible and will expect to have the results of the sale posted by the end of the day. If you have never bid in a sealed bid sale before, here are some things to be aware of as regards leaving bids for this auction: Every lot in the sale has a fixed reserve, (the minimum price for which the lot can be sold) and this is never above the low estimate, it can be slightly below, but in the vast majority of cases it is the low estimate. The highest bid (as long as it is on or above the reserve) will be the winning bid. This is the “hammer price” that the lot will be sold for. You should consider leaving a bid of an odd amount in pounds, for example, rather than bidding £1,000, try say £1,004, as many lots have been bought for the sake of the odd £1! You can tailor your bid in ways that are impossible to do in a live auction. For example, if you really like three lots, but only need one, and the piece you like the most is later in the sale, simply mark your order of preference. As long as your instructions are clear, having looked at any other bids left on the lots, we will do our best to comply with your preferences.

An auction price is made up of different components: the winning bid is called the “hammer price”; A commission, which is in addition to the “hammer price”, is payable to the auctioneers. This is known as the buyers premium, on which VAT is also payable. Lots marked with s are subject to Artist Resale Right (ARR), which is 4% of the “hammer price”. All lots that have additional VAT are clearly marked in the catalogue with a †.


Sealed bid auction lots 700-885 All sealed bids must be with us, at the latest, by 5pm BST on the 24th June since the bids will be opened on the 25th June. The winning bid will be the highest left on each lot above the reserve. Bids are non sequential and the highest bid left is the price at which the lot is sold plus buyers premium and any VAT liable. In the event of two identical winning bids being left on the same lot, the earliest received bid shall take precedence. Summers Place Auctions decision on which is the winning bid shall be final. Winning bidders will be invoiced after the bids are opened. For further information on sealed bids and how they work see page 164.

He is an energetic and exciting sculptor from a traditional background, but his use of metals in experimental mixtures

and techniques, including painting with metal dust and oxidizing agents really makes the colour of his work stand out. His work has been widely exhibited, including in award winning gardens at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, and highly commended in the Cheltenham Art Prize. Circles of Reflection has also won a highly commended runner up award at the Showborough House Sculpture competition. £2000-3000 741 Deco Owl Bronze 50cm.; 19¾ins high by 16cm.; 6¼ins wide by 15cm.; 6ins deep £1200-1800 185

745 Bushra Fakhoury The Basilisk Bronze Signed and numbered 1 of an edition of 5 201cm.; 79ins high Bushra Fakhoury studied Art and Education in Beirut and at London University where she obtained her PhD in ArtEducation in 1983. Her themes and subjects range from human to animal figures, merging in some works into surreal figures of myth, fable, fantasy and humour. She was privileged to have lived in exotic countries, 188

such as Ivory Coast, France, Kenya and Lebanon which had a great influence on her work. Fakhoury started sculpting at the very early age of 7 at the convent where she was taught to use marzipan to create flowers and animals. Bushra Fakhoury’s work has deep roots in the Hellenistic culture of the Levant, but has also leans to the neo-expressionist art of Europe. Her work shows a steady search for dynamic form, often ironic and grotesque, but invariably opulent and vehement. The figures scroll, run, struggle or dance and seem to be


engaged in a perpetual effort to defy gravity. At the same time, it is well-contained within the norms of stylistic discipline which allows the artist personality to emerge clearly within selfimposed boundaries.

Bushra has been living and working in London since 1979 and exhibits regularly with a number of galleries in the UK & USA. She undertakes commissions and large public sculptures. £15,000-18,000

His interest in wood carving started early, which combined with his passion for sailing tall ships and a life of wandering led to him living aboard in Holland. While completing his own repairs he would offer to help 190


others, and gradually an interest in his craft and demand for his work developed. Andy has been commissioned to work on high profile restorations including a replica of the Götheborg, a Swedish East India ship from 1738, and the HMS Chesapeake of 1855 from Chatham (a five metre lion figurehead made using 3 tons of timber). His years of experience in restorations enable him to match the styles of the period, country and type of vessel, and the techniques and characteristics from the original carvers. £3000-5000 750 Saraj Guha, Tuna Drinks Cabinet Steel and wood Unique Open, 177cm.; 69¾ins high by 210cm.; 82¾ins wide by 70cm.; 27½ins deep; Closed 44cm.; 17½ins £6000-8000

751 Andrew Sinclair Pre- Hysteric Bronze resin Edition 1 of 5 340cm.; 133žins high by 410cm.; 161½ins wide by 130cm.; 51ins deep Andrew specializes in bronze figurative, portrait and surrealist sculpture, and is one of the rising stars in his field. Selftaught, his background in screen printing, clay modelling and his skill as a bespoke cabinet maker has given him the eye for detail which has contributed to his ongoing success today. He has an incredible ability to create stunning realist and fantasy sculpture, inspired by the earliest sculptures and paintings of otherworldly figures created from fertile imaginations full of fear, romance and superstition. Strange creatures and spirits have leapt, danced and fornicated in our art and our imaginations forever, and Sinclair is passionate about this bizarre fantasy aspect of our psyche and produces a number of dark and humourous sculptures fired from his own imagination.

192


Andrew has lived in South Africa and worked in Europe and is influenced by the great classical sculptors of the renaissance. He lists the Earl and Countess of Leicester, Oldham City Council, Christopher Moran of Crosby Hall, publisher Felix Dennis, Georgio Logothetis of Lomar Shipping, Royal Ascot racecourse and Royal Caribbean amongst his clients. Sinclair has work in private and corporate collections in the UK, USA, Norway, Greece, Holland and South Africa.

John Humphreys was born in Salford and studied sculpture at Gloucester College of Art and Design, and then later at the Royal Academy in London. Having worked extensively in the film industry, Humphreys fuses his strengths in fine art with his experience in special effects, and in doing so, creates sculptures that literally boggle the mind. His

concern with distorted dimensions presents a fresh and interesting way of exploring portrait sculpture, making the viewer work hard to correct the information that they are presented with. Although a fine art sculptor, his work in both film and television include projects such as Dr. Who, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Max Headroom and

Alexander. He also made the model alien for the film Alien Autopsy in 1996; a poor quality, black and white film that launched world wide controversy around a supposed UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico. Humphreys' work is held in private collections in the USA, Austria, Turkey, and the UK.


754 James Alexander Matthews Billy Bond Rough sleeper 28 yrs, London 120cm.; 47ins high by 85cm.; 33½ins wide by 55cm.; 21½ins deep James Matthews comes from a family with a rich sculptural heritage having grown up in an environment of traditional figurative art. His grandfather John F. Matthews was a prominent sculptor in the 1950’s and exhibited 3 life-size figure sculptures at the 1951 Festival of Britain alongside work by Dobson, Epstein, Moore and other renowned sculptors of the time. James’s father Nicholas is also a figurative sculptor who runs his own gallery in France. James studied under the tutelage of sculptor Allan Sly at Wimbledon School of Art, where he developed his passion for figure and portrait sculpture. James uses the traditional techniques of modelling the subject in clay from life sittings and images, then casting in bronze using the lost wax process. James’s notable sitters have included Gyles Brandreth, Ardal O’Hanlon, Nicholas Parsons, Mark Gatiss, Martin Jarvis and Simon Callow. Recently the Royal Society of British artists selected his portraits of Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde to be exhibited at their 2014 annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries, Pall Mall, London, SW1. £4000-6000

at Epsom School of Art and Design, followed by a Fine Art Degree at Cardiff University where he was awarded the Student of the Year award. He continued with post graduate studies at Slade School of Fine Art, and a residency at Rijks Academy, Amsterdam. He has taught and lectured

widely, in the UK, India, Mexico, Peru, Argentina and Gautemala. Coomb’s work explores our perception of the world. He invites the viewer to look beyond their first impressions and to discover what is really presented to them. He presents casts of everyday objects, which at


first allude to things that they are not, creating unexpected and often disturbing twists in the object and the viewer’s perception. On closer inspection, all is disclosed, as the objects reveal their true nature to the viewer. This process of realisation of what you are really seeing is fundamental to his work. John’s Tractor confirms how a singular making process can result in a multifaceted work. By directly casting a tractors in resin-soaked canvas, he has created an ambiguity of contradictions; seemingly soft, but actually hard; apparently solid, but actually hollow. £12,000-18,000

804 John D Joyce ‘Trace’ (Ghost Piano) Carl Heine baby grand and steel 200cm.; 78½ins high by 250cm.; 98½ins wide by 250cm.; 98½ins long

Educated at Brooklands College, then at the University for the Creative Arts, Surrey, for both his BA and MA (distinction) in Fine Art Sculpture, Joyce has been working as a sculptor for the last twelve years. As a practising contemporary

sculptor, Joyce’s current focus is on the awareness of presence through absence, as shown through the imagery of preservation, and the evocative object. Influences of Derrida and his references to ‘trace’ are evident here, the notion

that the element of an object is neither present nor absent. £10,000-15,000

within a cell echoes the organs of the body which collectively create our working structural form. The rooks in Secret Garden Door (2004) are a mob, building enormous spring nests that signify the end of winter and rebirth for a tree. The cycle of life is given further attention in his winter trees, which illustrate the duality inherent in growth - a living tree needs to be cut and “repressed” in order to allow it to grow healthy and strong. ‘Arbour Metallum’ (2006), is a protector, from the heat of the sun, creating a dappled shade, as nature protects and nourishes us.

805 Mark Reed Arbour Metallium Forged and stainless steel Unique 290cm.; 114ins high by 410cm.; 161½ins wide by 300cm.; 118ins deep Sculpting in metal, primarily in bronze, forged steel, stainless steel, and aluminium has been a passion of Mark’s since 1995.

220

His practice is deeply rooted in themes of nature, science and the passage of time. With a background in biology and engineering, he is intrigued by the mechanics of natural forms and the way they contribute to the aesthetic appearance of a plant or animal. It is with this understanding that in Reed’s hands, trees become tables, and

natural shapes are harnessed for a function in bronze or forged steel. Reed is interested in intangible structures as well, especially the ways that an individual exists as an element in a hierarchy of collectives. In “Life Leaf” (2000), a single leaf is the `life giver’, giving energy to the whole tree, yet recycled into the system. In Golgi Body (2007), this organelle

In “Bee Ration (Fork in Pollen)” the pollen grain is a male gamete and a vector for the transference of male DNA, as a hay fever sufferer Mark is only too aware of the negative effects of the pollen grain, and it is also a signifier of our irritable patriarchal society, the fork protruding in an erect state. Reed’s work is held in several private collections in the UK, Europe, Middle East and the USA. £20,000-30,000


806 Nigel Ross Riorus Ash Unique 65cm.; 25½ins wide by 178cm.; 70ins long As a child living in rural Hertfordshire, Nigel was happiest running wild in the surrounding woodlands. His family moved to the Isle of Arran in Scotland, where his stepfather, sculptor David Gilbert opened his eyes to art, sculpture and carving wood. Following his love of the outdoors, he worked in various forestry related employment and eventually ran his own fencing dyking and forestry business on Arran. His art is developed from this background, with the rhythms and energy of nature being an inspiration and by the mid-nineties he was working full time as a sculptor and maker. He sculpts from lengths of fallen trees, creating abstract forms sometimes with a functional element. The sculpture, sculptural benches and furniture, bridges etc are situated in woodlands, parks, gardens, schools,

hospitals, gardens, and new developments across Britain, Europe and USA. £3000-5000 807 A run of old wooden cinema seats 82cm.; 32¼ins high by 190cm.; 75ins wide by 52cm.; 20½ins deep £200-300 808 A rootwood table 85cm.; 33½ins high by 200cm.; 78¾ins wide by 50cm.; 19¾ins deep £800-1200

His work explores the physical balance of the built environment, using architectural references as well as sculptural volumes of physical material. This balance is also represented in the relationship between form and surface of a sculpture. Altenburger often uses texture and colour to manipulate surfaces, adding a further layer of information to a sculptural form. He lives with his family in London and is member of A.P.T studios in Deptford, South London.

He has won several awards and prizes for his work, including an Henry Moore Scholarship and a British Institute of Sculpture Award. His work is held in collections in the UK Europe and USA.

204cm.; 80¼ins high

‘I am fascinated by drawing and the ability to create an image from lines and marks on paper. I like to experiment with paper and cardboard exploring scale and form, which are translated into more permanent media like ceramic, bronze, steel and wood – enjoying the variety of materials employed in my sculpture like hard metal and soft clay I can realise the sometimes surreal world from within.’

His sculptures incorporate both abstract and figurative elements that combine to create works remarkable for their expression. Earlier works more closely resemble recognizable human form whilst later pieces have moved toward further abstraction. Lee’s sense of the moment, projected in clay or bronze is communicated with fervor and finesse, the work conveys all the human conditions with a large embrace of a humane reading of life.

£15,000-25,000

Peter Fluck was born in 1941, and attended Cambridge School of Art, where he met Roger Law, (born 1941). Working initially as freelance illustrators, they made 3D caricatures to be photographed for articles in the glossy magazines that proliferated at that time. It became clear that the static caricatures could become puppets, and the idea for Spitting Image was conceived.
