The McCleave Collection of Modern British Art
The McCleave Collection is much more than just a selection of paintings and illustrations; it is a vibrant testament to the power of friendship, a deep love for art and the exhilarating thrill of the hunt. David and Pam McCleave’s passion for collecting was profoundly shaped by the personal relationships they nurtured with some of the most notable artists of the late 20th century.
Their collection boasts an impressive array of works from renowned 20th-century painters and illustrators, including Sir Alfred Munnings and Richard Hamilton. The McCleaves’ journey as collectors was ignited by their direct engagement with art and the close friendships they built. The Chelsea Art Club - where David became affectionately known as ‘Big Dave,’ - and the vibrant London gallery scene became central to their lives. David actively sought out the artists he admired and acquired works directly from them.
Amongst the many remarkable pieces in the McCleave Collection, two artists, in particular, hold special significance - Terence Cuneo and Ruskin Spear. This sale offers world-class paintings by Cuneo and over thirty exceptional lots by Ruskin Spear, forming a unique selling exhibition. Other notable artists represented include the cartoonist ‘Mac’, pop-art sculptor Clive Barker, and printmaker Peter Blake. The era of the ‘Swinging Sixties’ is vividly captured through photography by David Bailey and Terry O’Neill, along with a fascinating collection of paintings, drawings and ephemera related to the ‘Profumo Affair.’
During the lockdowns, with time on their hands, David and Pam McCleave began organising their collection with the intention of eventually dispersing it at auction. Following David’s passing last December, Pam decided to continue with this, culminating in this exciting 250lot exhibition. Sworders are privileged to facilitate this important sale, offering a unique opportunity for art enthusiasts to acquire pieces infused with the McCleaves’ deep passion for art.
LOT 1
Sir Alfred James Munnings PRA RWS (1878-1959)
‘Canadian Cavalry Watering Horses’ signed ‘A. J. Munnings’ l.r., oil on canvas
63.5 x 76.5cm
£30,000-50,000
Provenance: James Putnam Esq.; a private collection, Canada; Phillips, Bond Street, ‘Twentieth Century and British & Irish Art’, 8 June 1999, lot 30, the property of an overseas collector.
Exhibited: Russell Coates Gallery and Museum, Bournemouth, ‘Retrospective Exhibition of Works by Sir Edward Munnings’, 2 April - 4 June 1956, catalogue no.22.
Literature: Sir Alfred Munnings, ‘An Artist’s Life’, London, 1950, pp.302.
Acclaimed British artist, Sir Alfred Munnings, is best known for his paintings of horses and rural scenes, but it was his role as a First World War artist, with the Canadian Expeditionary Force, that helped bring him significant recognition.
Munnings, who had lost the sight in his right eye at the age of twenty (due to an accident involving a thorn while lifting a dog over a hedge), was unable to serve as an active soldier. Despite his desire to go to war, his partial blindness prevented him from enlisting. However, his fortunes changed when Lord Beaverbrook (then known as Max Aitken) intervened. Beaverbrook, who was instrumental in organising a group of artists to document the Canadian war effort, sent Munnings to the front line in January 1918 as a war artist.
Living with the Canadian regiment, Munnings also captured the quieter, more intimate, moments of the war, and here we see both soldiers and horses at rest, providing a poignant contrast to the chaos of battle. His skill as a horseman allowed him to depict these animals with a deep understanding and sensitivity.
Munnings’ work was so well received that he was later assigned to the Canadian Forestry Corps, which was responsible for producing vast quantities of timber for various wartime uses. This experience opened up new avenues for Munnings, allowing him to explore different subjects and landscapes. His paintings from this period tell evocative stories of service, sacrifice, and the essential, but often overlooked, roles played by both soldiers and animals during the war. They also helped solidify Munnings’ reputation as one of the foremost painters of his time.

Walter Richard Sickert was a pivotal figure in British avant-garde painting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He favoured ordinary people and urban scenes as his subjects, with a preference for the light palette and high-keyed colour of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.
Sickert’s work was particularly important for links between Britain and France. Not only did he have a profound relationship with French artists like Edgar Degas, he was also a founder member of the New English Art Club, formed as a French-influenced alternative to the Royal Academy.

Harold Smith was married to Pam McCleave’s aunt. Lowry collected the rent from Harold’s mother, who lived in Salford, and would often stay for a cup of tea and a chat, which is how Harold got to know him. Lowry would visit Harold on his trips to London, and Harold suggested he paint a London scene, which is thought to be the motivation for his famous ‘Piccadilly Circus’, 1960.

The book blends fact and fiction, imagining an alternative reality in which Alma Cogan survives beyond her real-life death in 1966. This creative narrative explores themes of fame, memory, and the impact of celebrity culture. The novel was critically acclaimed and won the Whitbread Book Award for First Novel in 1991, solidifying Burn’s reputation as a distinctive voice in contemporary literature.

Ruskin Spear RA (1911-1990)
The McCleave Collection offers the largest and most important selection of works by Ruskin Spear to come to market in recent years. With more than thirty paintings, drawings and prints on offer, the full range of Spear’s skill as an artist is displayed, with his characterful portraits, atmospheric landscapes, and familiar scenes of pubs and sports.
A young Ruskin Spear earned scholarships to the Hammersmith School of Art and later the Royal College of Art, where he studied under Sir William Rothenstein. Unfortunately, childhood polio confined him to a wheelchair, limiting his physical mobility and influencing his artistic pursuits. As a result, his local Hammersmith neighbourhood became his primary subject matter, where he captured its vibrant personalities with wit and affection.
David McCleave developed a friendship with Ruskin Spear during the artist’s final decade, often visiting his Hammersmith home, but always accompanied by the gift of a fine malt whisky. Many of the key oil paintings in this collection were purchased directly from Spear, while others were carefully acquired at auctions over the last forty years whenever a noteworthy piece became available.
The collection includes notable works such as the prominent barmaid with her striking gaze in ‘Sherry Bar Portrait’ (lot 42), the pub’s familiar punter at his game of darts in ‘The Arty Tie’ (lot 47) and the exceptional large-scale oil, ‘Fulham Football Club’ (lot 66), discovered under Spear’s bed after his death and later purchased directly from the artist’s widow, Mary.

‘The Sherry Bar’ was painted in the Ravenscourt Arms, Hammersmith, London. The painting is notable not only for its artistic qualities, but also for its connection of two prominent cultural figures: the artist, Ruskin Spear, and the celebrated Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas. The pair often met here and, according to Spear, the Ravenscourt Arms was a place where Dylan Thomas engaged in his early morning ‘light drinking’ during the late 1940s.

Terence Cuneo (1907-1996)
Terence Cuneo was famous not only for his detailed and dynamic depictions of industrial scenes, railways and military subjects, but also for a quirky signature element in his work: the inclusion of a tiny mouse. This hidden mouse became his trademark, subtly embedded within his paintings, often in challenging-to-spot locations. What began as a playful addition, soon turned into a signature that art lovers and collectors eagerly searched for in each of his works, adding an extra layer of engagement and delight to his already captivating scenes.
David McCleave had long admired the work of Terence Tenison Cuneo and had already begun his painting collection when he learned that the artist lived close to his family home in South London. Surprised to find the artist’s number in the local telephone directory, McCleave made a call that led to a glass of sherry and the beginning of a friendship between artist and patron. David would visit the artist’s studio regularly, watching Cuneo paint, buying works directly from him, and keeping an eye out for any gems that came up at auction.
McCleave would go on to own some of the most iconic works by the artist, including Cuneo’s exceptional and grand depiction of the world-famous ‘Flying Scotsman’ (lot 85), as well as the humorous and eccentric ‘Flying Cheddarman, Stilton Junction’ (lot 93). The latter painting shows an entire railway station filled with anthropomorphic mice, including caricatures of a diverse range of types: workers, lovers, families and drunks.
Although Cuneo has become a household name for his images of trains, his work covered a wide range of subjects. He embraced military history, as seen in ‘The German Surrender at Lüneburg Heath’ (lot 96), as well as state and public occasions, science and technology, horses (lots 94 and 95), wildlife and portraiture. The McCleave Collection includes a full cross section of this oeuvre, featuring several exceptional train paintings, alongside works such as a view of the de Havilland ‘Mosquito’ under construction (lot 90), painted by Cuneo in 1943 for the War Artists’ Advisory Committee.

The present lot captures the monumental achievement of the Box Tunnel, an iconic part of the Great Western Railway, masterminded by the civil engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The tunnel, stretching for nearly two miles through the limestone of Box Hill, was an incredible feat for its time, particularly given the challenges posed by the soft rock and the tunnel’s steep gradient.

A de Havilland ‘Mosquito’ under construction at the Parker Knoll factory signed and dated ‘.CUNEO./.OCT.1943.’ l.r., oil on board
51 x 71cm
£4,000 - 6,000
Provenance: Christie’s, South Kensington, ‘Twentieth Century British Art’, 4 December 2002, lot 541.
The de Havilland ‘Mosquito’, famously known as the ‘wooden wonder’, was a versatile British aircraft used during the Second World War. Its construction - which relied heavily on wood due to the scarcity of metals during the war - required the expertise of skilled craftsmen to piece together the aircraft’s intricately shaped wooden components.
The Parker Knoll factory in High Wycombe, renowned for its high-quality furniture manufacturing, was one such place where these skilled craftsmen could be found. The workers at Parker Knoll, accustomed to crafting fine furniture, possessed the precise woodworking skills needed to assemble the Mosquito’s complex wooden structure, and it was this collaboration that was essential to the success of the aircraft’s production.
The present lot was one of many commissioned by de Havilland in which Cuneo showed the process of wartime manufacture. Through such works, Cuneo vividly illustrated the behind-the-scenes labours that contributed to the war effort, immortalising the role of craftsmen in the creation of this remarkable aircraft.
LOT 91
Terence Cuneo (1907-1996)

£20,000-30,000
Provenance: Purchased from the artist’s daughter in April 2007.
Cuneo had previously depicted this train in 1978, when the National Railway Museum in York brought the locomotive out of the museum after restoration. Following the detailed on-site drawings, the artist added a daytime Pennine landscape. For the present lot, he revisited the subject, but with a rather different atmosphere of the night-time marshalling yards.

The Grand National, 1991 signed and dated ‘CUNEO/APRIL 1991’ l.r., oil on canvas
76.5 x 101.5cm
£15,000-20,000
This magnificent work captures the viewer’s attention by expressing the drama and emotion of a crowded jump in our country’s most famous horse race. ‘Crammer’, ridden by John Durkan in yellow and black silks, can be seen falling at the fence named ‘The Chair’ at Aintree. The painting was entered into a competition and exhibition of works depicting the 1991 Grand National. Organised by the publication ‘Horse & Hound’, Cuneo, unfortunately, was not the winning entry, perhaps because the realistic depiction of a horse falling was not considered appealing to the judges.
LOT 96
Terence Cuneo (1907-1996)
The German surrender at Lüneburg Heath, 4 May 1945 signed and dated ‘CUNEO/FEBRUARY 1969’ l.l., oil on canvas
101.5 x 126.5cm;
together with a collection of correspondence relating to the picture between Mr Haworth, of James Haworth & Brother Ltd., and others, including the 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein; later correspondence between Mr John Haworth and David McCleave (qty.)
£15,000-25,000
Provenance: Mr Haworth.
This painting depicts a monumental moment in history, captured at the time with photographs. No official war artist was commissioned at the time, and Field Marshal Montgomery was said to be disappointed that there was nothing more substantial than a few photographs to portray this important meeting. He had mentioned this to Garfield Weston (director of Fortnum & Mason) who then discussed it with James Haworth in 1968. It was Haworth who suggested Terence Cuneo as just the artist to recreate the scene, as can be seen in the accompanying correspondence sold with this lot. Cuneo preferred to work from life drawings, but agreed to proceed with the commission and it is said that ‘Monty’ was delighted with the painting.
Originally, Garfield Weston intended for the painting to be displayed in the restaurant of Fortnum & Mason, but the acquisition did not proceed as planned. Consequently, the painting stayed with the Haworth family until 2006, when it was acquired by David McCleave.

David Bailey (b.1938) & Terry O’Neill (1938-2019)
For those raised in the immediate post-war era, the photography of David Bailey and Terry O’Neill holds a particular resonance. These two iconic English photographers were instrumental in documenting the fashions, styles and celebrities that defined the ‘Swinging Sixties’, playing a pivotal role in shaping the visual culture of that transformative decade.
David McCleave bought directly from both men. He bonded with David Bailey over their shared East End roots and attended many of his exhibitions. He first met Terry O’Neill at an event at the National Portrait Gallery, later amassing a selection of some of his best-known prints, from Michael Caine in ‘Get Carter’ and David Hemmings in ‘Blow-up’, to those of The Rolling Stones and The Who.
This sale offers a selection of McCleave’s prized possessions, featuring five signed limited edition works by David Bailey and ten by Terry O’Neill. Notably, it includes two portraits of Bailey himself, captured by O’Neill in the 1960s - one an iconic studio shot, and the other, a more intimate glimpse of Bailey relaxing at home.

Stanley McMurtry (b.1936)
Stanley McMurtry, better known as ‘Mac,’ is a celebrated British cartoonist renowned for his sharp, satirical illustrations that have graced the pages of the ‘Daily Mail’ for decades. Familiar to millions, his work is characterised by a distinctive style that combines humour with biting social and political commentary. Mac’s cartoons often delve into the pressing issues of the day, capturing the public mood with a blend of wit and insight. Although these cartoons are seemingly simple scenes, the skill is seen in the artist’s ability to bring complex topics to the viewer in a single image. The McCleaves formed a friendship with McMurtry; his work resonated with them, as it does with many, through its clever observations and timeless appeal.

Clive Barker (b.1940)
Clive Barker is well known for his unique, playful, sometimes glamorous and often humorous sculptures. Although he was trained as a painter, it was the time he spent working on the Vauxhall Motors assembly line in Luton that was most influential in his career. It was here that the precision and beauty of the freshly fabricated automobiles informed the choice of materials and the method of making in his artwork. When viewing a Clive Barker sculpture, the meticulous craftsmanship is evident in the flawless execution of casting, polishing and assembling of his works.
From the start of his career in the 1960s through to the 21st century, Barker has been using precious metals to give the public their everyday items, but redesigned as fine art. Most famously he cast Coca-Cola bottles, but he continues to showcase contemporary items of pop culture in his work. In the present selection, we see the glamorous Christine Keeler chair in ‘Scandal’ (lot 71), influences from fine art, such as ‘Magritte’s Hat’ (lot 166), and characters from TV and film including Homer Simpson (lot 172) and Superman (lot 173).
Included in numerous surveys and international exhibitions of Pop Art, Barker’s work was well known to David McCleave when the two men were introduced in a London pub. David, whose interest in Pop Art mirrored his love of the music and art of the Sixties, acquired a wide selection of his small-scale works. Sworders are pleased to initially offer eleven works in this auction and further lots later in 2024.

THE PROPERTY OF A London Collector
The following twenty-one lots have been carefully curated by a private collector over many years as part of a cherished collection of 20th-century art. With the collector preparing to move house, it became the perfect opportunity for a re-hang, and Sworders is thrilled to present these exceptional pieces for sale. The collection features works by significant artists, spanning from Sir Max Beerbohm in 1909, to notable figures of the 1960s including Keith Vaughan and David Hockney.
We have four distinctive works on paper by the ever-popular Laura Knight, including iconic circus scenes and a striking depiction of a noble horse on a beach. A highlight includes a subtle watercolour by Frances Hodgkins beautifully capturing the landscape with her unique blend of realism and abstraction. We see fluid brushwork and a vibrant, yet subtle, use of colour that brings atmosphere to this scene.
The stand-out selection is seven by David Bomberg, five of which depict his time in Ronda, Spain. Bomberg first visited the Andalusian town in the early 1930s, and its dramatic landscape, characterised by steep cliffs and rugged terrain, had a deep impact on his work. The intensity of Ronda’s light, and the raw, untamed beauty of its surroundings, inspired the artist to shift from the geometric abstraction of his earlier career to a more expressive, emotional style of painting.
Sworders are pleased to offer a further selection of David Bomberg works from this private collection in our spring 2025 Modern & Contemporary Art Sale.

Possibly a preparatory study for ‘A Seaside Holiday’, 1931, offered by Bonhams in March 2018. Although the family are not present, the horse and the beach surroundings are very similar. ‘A Seaside Holiday’ depicts a young Gervase de Peyer on a horse, beside the rest of the de Peyer family, near their home at Middleton-on-Sea, West Sussex. Gervase de Peyer would later gain international fame as a clarinettist and a key figure in the classical music world. His mother, Edith de Peyer, hosted salons in her London home, which Laura Knight attended, fostering a close relationship between the two families. This connection was later honoured by Gervase de Peyer when he purchased Knight’s house in St John’s Wood after her death and displayed ‘A Seaside Holiday’ in her studio.

Fred Cuming RA (1930-2022)
A Lasting Friendship
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the paintings of Fred Cuming, with buyers seeking out his delicate depictions of colour and light in landscapes and still lifes. His tranquil and atmospheric landscapes and seascapes often capture the changing light and moods of Britain. Cuming’s technique, which blends realism with a subtle impressionistic touch, is effective whether portraying a stormy sky or the calm afterglow of sunset.
The following eleven lots form a small selection of a private collection that has been acquired by our vendor over many years:
‘As a collector of 20th and 21st-century ceramics, paintings and sculpture, it has always been important for me to have a connection with the artist. When I first met Fred and his wife, Audrey, many years ago, I was unaware of Fred’s extraordinary talent. From the moment I first saw one of Fred’s paintings, I became captivated. His use of colour and light, the application of paint on canvas, and his spirit, all combined to produce such delicate and sensitive work. Watching Fred paint whilst he reminisced - calling upon his incredible memory, with classical music at full blast - his studio was alive.’

David Hockney OM CH RA (b.1937)
‘The Patient’ signed ‘David Hockney’ l.r., pen and ink heightened with white 38 x 56cm, unframed £12,000 - 18,000
The present lot was given to the vendor’s father, Mr I T Fisher, who was a Classics teacher at Bradford Grammar School until his retirement in 1973. Mr Fisher also edited the school’s magazine, ‘The Bradfordian’, a publication that still exists today. Among his pupils was David Hockney, who, despite not being particularly enamoured with Latin, showcased his exceptional artistic talents early on. Hockney left Bradford Grammar School at the age of sixteen to pursue his passion at the Bradford School of Art.
The drawing offered for sale was gifted by David Hockney to his teacher Mr Fisher. As the vendor recounted, the drawing might have been Hockney’s way of compensating for not being the perfect student! Mr Fisher included a photograph of the drawing within the school magazine, where it appeared in the July 1958 issue of ‘The Bradfordian’. Hockney later confirmed to a third party that the drawing was created at St Luke’s Hospital in Bradford, though the subject remains unknown.

OF Stanley Jones MBE RE (1933-2023)
The Estate of an Artist, Master Lithographer and Collector of Important Modern British Art
Once described as the ‘godfather of lithography’, my father, Stanley Jones MBE RE, was quite literally a legend in his own lifetime. He was the embodiment of collaborative printmaking, renowned for being ‘a skilled mediator between artist and stone’. Revered for his exceptional technical expertise in printmaking, particularly lithography, he had an exceptional knowledge of colour and was also a formidable artist in his own right.
As the works in this sale amply demonstrate, he has left a remarkable legacy, having placed lithography at the heart of modern art, not just in Britain, but around the world too. Through his printmaking collaborations, as well as his own work, he delivered a prodigious and unique artistic output.
Recognition of his achievements came from all quarters throughout his long and distinguished career, but a particular testament to his accomplishments is that so much of his collaborative printmaking work - including numerous examples in this sale - is held in major public and private permanent collections around the world.
A graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art and a student at École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he founded the Curwen Studio in 1958, after short spells both as an apprentice in a Parisian atelier and then as a printer in St Ives for Hepworth, Heron and Lanyon, amongst others. The studio was to become an epicentre of lithography for over 50 years. Many of the greatest 20th-century artists spent time there, not only working with him, but also benefiting from his trademark blend of technical guidance, artistic insight, endless encouragement and a mildmannered approach. His wizardry and midwifery in printmaking enabled countless artists to produce printed work of outstanding quality that, through the medium of lithography, opened up new possibilities for the development and expression of their ideas, while also bringing them further recognition for their work.
Dealing with my late father’s estate has been a time of mixed emotions for our family; there is the deep sense of sadness and loss, of course, but there has also been the unique privilege of being able to savour and reflect on a lifetime full of remarkable achievements, evidenced by the enormity and breadth of the artistic contribution that he left behind.
In selecting works for this sale, we have visited key points along the arc of his printmaking journey, with the inclusion of both early, middle and late career examples. As well as highlights from some of his best-known collaborations, including those with Moore, Hepworth and Piper, there are also many other fine lithographs that will be very familiar. We have also included a small selection of my father’s own lithographic work, examples of which are also held in public and private collections.

Dame Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975)
Barbara Hepworth, primarily celebrated for her groundbreaking sculptures, also made notable contributions as a printmaker later in her career. Her foray into printmaking, particularly through lithographs, offered a fresh dimension to her creative expression. Hepworth’s print works exhibit the same sculptural sensibility that characterises her three-dimensional pieces. The exploration of form, space and texture can be seen here in a two-dimensional realm. Hepworth’s printmaking not only broadened her artistic repertoire, but also provided a new and more affordable way for audiences to engage with her innovative approach to art.

THE PROPERTY OF A European Collector
Sworders is delighted to present a captivating selection of antiquities, sculptures, paintings and furniture from a distinguished private European collector. Alongside the upcoming lots, these works will form important sections in our Design and Fine Interiors sales this autumn.
In our Modern & Contemporary Sale, we are particularly excited to highlight pieces by celebrated French artists Marc Chagall and César, as well as three works by Fernandez Arman. Renowned for his pioneering approach to sculpture, Arman was a key figure in the Nouveau Réalisme movement. His bronze pieces (as per lot 603), transform everyday objects - such as musical instruments, tools and other mundane items - by representing them in bronze. This technique immortalises these objects and, by transforming their original context, offers a new meaning and aesthetic significance.
The sale also features remarkable works by prominent Greek artists, including Nikos Ghika - one of the country’s most esteemed. Ghika’s work always maintains a strong connection with his Greek cultural heritage, but his style evolved as he began incorporating elements of abstraction and surrealism. This is represented beautifully here with lot 609. Additionally, we are offering eight sculptures by Liana Vassalou, whose introspective and abstract compositions delve into themes of memory, identity and the human condition.
Our lots by George Lappas display his innovative approach to sculpture and installation art. His works, often exploring human experience, mythology and technology, present thoughtprovoking and visually impactful pieces. This can be seen with the striking and monumental ‘Red Man’ (lot 626).

Perry Roberts refers to a series of these works as ‘Samples’, which are created by mixing a limited palette of colours according to self-imposed rules. His colour choices are restricted to earth tones and he limits the materials he uses as well. Here we see formal precision with abstract purity, this striking effect allowing the viewer to be absorbed into the tones.

Zheng Guogu is a prominent Chinese postmodern artist, known for his innovative and multifaceted approach to contemporary art. His work spans a variety of media, including photography, sculpture, installation, and painting, often exploring themes related to the rapid modernisation of China and the impact of globalisation.
The artist is one of the founding members of the Yangjiang Group, a collective formed in the early 2000s, along with Chen Zaiyan and Sun Qinglin. The group is known for its experimental and avant-garde projects, which often incorporate diverse elements, such as calligraphy and performance art, reflecting the unique cultural and social landscape of their hometown.
In 2006, Zheng Guogu’s talents were recognised when he won the prestigious ‘Chinese Contemporary Art Award’ (CCAA). His work has been exhibited widely in his home country and internationally, where he continues to challenge and redefine the boundaries of contemporary art.

‘Police Riot Van’ (Dismaland Gift Print) digital print in colours, signed ‘BANKSY’ l.r., and inscribed ‘Thanks Sarah’ sheet 17.7 x 23.7cm
£10,000-15,000
One of three Dismaland prints gifted to the members of Pussy Riot after they filmed a video at the site.
In 2015, Banksy unveiled ‘Dismaland’ - a theme park in Weston-super-Mare built in a disused lido. Its rides and attractions satirised the commercialised fare of Disneyland and included exhibits from fifty-eight artists. One of Banksy’s contributions was the police van fountain, interpreted in this print as a site of reclamation. A rainbow frames the van, a symbol of state power and intervention, and children crawl around on the vehicle, playing amongst the vegetation which has overtaken it. Perhaps Banksy imagines the future of his own art object, or perhaps a more figurative future where violence is overcome by the force of peace. As the sapling and flowers have found a way to grow out of the metal car frame, so too will peace find a way.

Cubitt Print Box

The portfolio includes prints by various artists including: Martin Creed, Tacita Dean, Peter Doig, Ceal Floyer, Matthew Higgs, Gareth Jones, Alex Katz, Scott King, Jochen Klein, Hilary Lloyd, Paul McCarthy, Paul Noble, Chris Ofili, Peter Pommerer, James Pyman, Giorgio Sadotti, Jane Simpson, Wolfgang Tillmans, Piotr Uklanski and Elizabeth Wright, all of whom had either worked or shown at the Cubitt studios and gallery in King’s Cross, London.
‘Snowball’ by Elizabeth Wright was created as a varied edition of 120 individual versions, with the perfectly round snowball in each print scaled differently in successive increments from 101/220% to 220/220%. The variations in size reflect the platitude that no two snowflakes are alike. Getting bigger as the edition progresses, the circles created by the artist manifest as a literal ‘snowball effect’.

GLOSSARY OF PICTURE CATALOGUING TERMS
A work catalogued with the forename(s) and surname of a recognised destination of an artist is or is probably a work by the artist, eg. David Cox. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that while a full designation is our highest category or authenticity, no unqualified statement as to the authorship is made or intended. A full cataloguing does not necessarily imply a full warranty.
Attributed to David Cox in our opinion a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist.
Circle of David Cox in our opinion a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.
Follower of David Cox in our opinion a work executed in the style of David Cox
After David Cox in our opinion a copy of any date after a work by the artist
Signed/inscribed/dated in our opinion the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist
ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT (ARR)
What is Artist’s Resale Right?
Following a European Directive in 2006, the Artist’s Resale Right entitles creators of original works of art to a royalty each time their work is resold, with the involvement of an auction house, for £1,000 or more.
This right covers sales of work by living artists and also the beneficiaries and heirs of artists deceased within the last 70 years of the sale.
How are resale royalties calculated?
The artist’s royalty depends on the hammer price (sale price without any VAT or Buyer’s Premium). The higher the sale price of the artwork, the lower the overall royalty rate. The royalty is worked out according to a sliding scale from 4% to 0.25%.
Bears/with signature, inscription, date in our opinion the signature/inscription/date are not by the hand of the named artist.
The addition of a question mark (?) after any of the above cataloguing terms indicates an element of doubt.
A work catalogued as ‘School’ accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date means that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in the location, eg. South Netherlands School, circa 1750.
All references to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of the work, ie. as at the time of inspection for the purpose of cataloguing.
Condition reports are not included in the descriptions.
What is the qualifying threshold?
An artwork must sell for more than £1,000 to qualify for a royalty and the maximum amount an artist can receive is capped at £12,500 per transaction.
What nationality must an artist be to qualify?
Following the UK’s exit from the European Union, the ARR has continued to apply to the sale of artworks by nationals of countries in the European Economic Area (EEA), as well as the UK. The following countries are in the EEA:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, plus the UK, and Australia was added to the list for the purposes of ARR with effect from 31 March 2024.
Artists who are nationals of these countries are therefore generally eligible to receive resale royalties. The nationality criteria only applies to the artist and not to the beneficiaries or heirs.
Are all sales of artwork covered?
The Artist’s Resale Right does not apply to all sales of artworks. A royalty is only due if the following conditions are met:
• the artwork is a copyright protected work of graphic or plastic art;
• it is sold for more than £1,000;
• it is sold in the secondary market with the involvement of an art market professional (e.g. auction house);
• and it is sold in the UK, Australia or a country in the European Economic Area (EEA)
Lots that may be subject to Artist’s Resale Right will be denoted by this symbol:
This royalty, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These conditions of business consist of:
1. Information for Buyers;
2. Terms of Consignment (for Sellers) - not included in this catalogue ;
3. Terms of Sale (for Bidders and Buyers).
1. INFORMATION FOR BUYERS
Introduction
The following notes are intended to assist Bidders and Buyers, particularly those that are inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All of our auctions are governed by our Terms and Conditions and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction. Our Terms and Conditions are available for inspection at our salerooms and the Terms of Sale are printed in the back of our auction catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Terms and Conditions that you do not fully understand.
Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale carefully before bidding in the auction. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale.
Methods of payment
Lots must be paid for before they are collected or shipped. For those attending the auction we ask that Lots are paid for on the day of the sale. Methods by which we accept payment are detailed on our Website, including online payment upon receipt of your invoice, and these should be paid by 5pm on the Friday following the sale. We accept cash to an upper limit of 10,000 euros equivalent. We accept credit card payments to an upper limit of £5,000. Usually any cheques will need to be cleared before you can take the Goods away.
Collection and storage
All Lots should be paid for and collected by 5pm on the Friday following the sale. Commission Bidders should check the success of their bids and arrange payment, and collection or shipping within this time. For our specialist auctions please refer to the collection and storage requirements detailed in the catalogue and on our Website, which specifies the applicable fees. For our Homes and Interiors auctions, items not removed by 5pm on Friday may be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 (plus VAT) for administration and £2 (plus VAT) per lot per day.
Agency
As Auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the Seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your contract for the Goods is with the Seller, not with us as Auctioneer.
Estimates
Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale Price. The lower estimate may represent the Reserve Price (the minimum Price for which a Lot may be sold) and will not be below the Reserve Price. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the Auctioneer before the auction of the Lot. They are not definitive.
Buyer’s Premium
The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay a Buyer’s Premium at 25% on the Hammer Price of each Lot purchased, except for our Fine Wine and Spirits auctions when it is 18%. In addition, VAT is charged on these Premiums (see below).
VAT
Items in our catalogue may be marked with a dagger † or double dagger ‡, which indicates that VAT is payable by the Buyer on the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium at either the standard rate (currently 20%) or a reduced rate (currently 5%), depending upon the legal requirements relating to that Lot.
Lots which do not have either of the above symbols have no VAT payable on the Hammer Price. This is because such Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. The VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax.
Shipping Costs are liable for VAT and are payable by the Buyer.
Inspection of Goods by the Buyer
As we act on behalf of the Seller, we are dependent on information provided by the Seller about their Goods. We may inspect Lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of Lots to check their condition in the way a Buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the Goods. You must inspect and investigate Lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the description and condition of Lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clauses 12.2 and 12.4.
Condition reports
We may be able to assist Buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending Buyers are strongly encouraged to view.
Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale.
Shipping of Goods
We offer a delivery service for Lots purchased. Estimates for Shipping Costs for smaller items can be calculated pre-sale on our website under each Lot and are based on value, size and your chosen UK destination. For items purchased the actual cost can be added to your account and paid online after the sale. If you purchase multiple Lots from the same auction, we will combine packaging/deliveries to reduce the Shipping Costs. For lots for which Shipping Costs cannot be automatically calculated, such as furniture, you can obtain a bespoke Shipping Cost from our website to any destination in the world either in advance of the sale or after you have purchased.
Estimates of Shipping Costs on our website are based on the low estimate, whilst the actual cost is based on Hammer Price.
Electrical goods
These are sold as ‘antiques’ only. If you buy electrical Goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them.
Export of Goods
If you intend to export Goods you must find out:
a. whether an export licence is needed; and b. if there is a prohibition on importing Goods of that character e.g. because the Goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory.
Bidding
Bidders will be required to register with us before the auction starts. We Reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a Commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value Lots this deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You will need to provide us with proof of your identity in a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding. Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion.
Commission bidding
You may leave Commission bids with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a Lot (excluding the Buyers’ Premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute Commission bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the Reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two Buyers submit identical Commission bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained). We recommend leaving Commission bids online via our Website, though please contact us about leaving bids by telephone or fax/email. All absentee bids should be received at least 30 minutes before the auction commences; we cannot guarantee to execute Commission bids received after this time.
Telephone bidding
If you are unable to come to the auction it may be possible to bid on the telephone for higher value Lots. Please note that this service is for Lots with an estimate of £500 or more. The number of lines is limited so we would urge serious telephone bidding only and ask that you be prepared to bid over the top estimate. It is advisable to leave a maximum covering bid in case we are not able to contact you by telephone. All lines must be booked and confirmed in writing before the day of the auction and preferably some time in advance. Telephone bidding involves many variables and whilst we take every care to ensure the smooth operation of this service, we cannot be held liable if your bids are missed for any reason.
Online bidding
Any Lots purchased via a live online bidding service will be subject to an additional Commission charge on the Hammer Price payable by the Bidder, in accordance with rates specified by the online service. From 1 January 2020, these charges will be charged at 0% while bidding via Sworders Website. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 4.95% plus VAT. These charges will be payable to us on top of the Hammer Price and our Buyer’s Commission.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
Removal of Lots
All Lots are to be removed from the premises by 5.00pm at the latest on the Friday following each sale. Sworders retain the right to remove Lots remaining after this time into safe storage, for which a charge will be made.
Electrical Goods
All electrical Goods offered in this sale have either been tested and certified safe or unsafe by an appropriately qualified electrician. All electrical Goods certified unsafe must be re-commissioned by an appropriately qualified electrician and we recommend those certified safe are similarly re-commissioned.
Post 1950 Upholstered Furniture
All items of furniture included in this sale are offered for sale as works of art. The items may not comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) Safety Regulations 1988 and for this reason, they should not be used in a private dwelling.

To comply with CITES Regulations on Post-1947 furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood, all post-war rosewood furniture items must have an Article 10 certificate in place, prior to being offered for sale.
If you are purchasing rosewood furniture for commercial purposes and not solely for your own use, CITES regulations require you to obtain your own certificate. You would need to contact the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) and, as part of the process of obtaining your document, it is a requirement that you have seen sight of the Sworders’ certificate or are aware of its reference number.
It is therefore the responsibility of commercial Buyers to ensure that they obtain a copy of the appropriate certificate, or the certificate reference number, after purchase from Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers. Items are marked with this sign §.
Ivory
Lots marked contain elephant ivory material. Please be advised that several countries, including those in the EU and the USA, now prohibit the importation of ivory items unless under specific conditions. Accordingly, prospective buyers should familiarise themselves with the relevant customs regulations of their country and ensure they are able to import this item prior to bidding.

11.3 Please note that many of the Lots that you may bid on at our auction are second-hand.
11.4 If a Lot is not second-hand and you purchase the Lot as a Consumer from a Seller that is a Trader, a number of additional terms may be implied by law in addition to the Seller’s warranties set out at Clause 11.1 (in particular under the Consumer Rights Act 2015). These Terms of Sale do not seek to exclude your rights under law as they relate to the sale of these Lots.

12. Descriptions and condition
12.1 Our descriptions of the Lot will be based on: (a)
information provided to us by the Seller of the Lot (for which we are not liable); and (b) our opinion (although it is likely that we will not be able to carry out a detailed inspection of each Lot).
12.2 We will give you a number of opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot in advance of the auction.
12.3 Representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling Price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion will be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.
12.4 Please note that Lots (in particular second-hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition. Lots are sold ‘as is’ (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of second-hand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/ or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed.

13.2.1 the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of experts as at the date of the auction; or 13.2.2 you personally are not able to transfer good and marketable title in the Lot to us, you will have no right to a refund under this Clause 13.2.
13.3 If you have sold the Lot to another person, we will only be liable to refund the Price that you paid for the Lot. We will not be responsible for repaying any additional money you may have made from selling the Lot.
13.4 Your right to return a Lot that is a Deliberate Forgery does not affect your legal rights and is in addition to any other right or remedy provided by law or by these Terms of Sale.
14. Our liability to you 14.1 We will not be liable for any loss of opportunity or disappointment suffered as a result of participating in our auction.
14.2 In addition to the above, neither we nor the Seller shall be responsible to you and you shall not be responsible to the Seller or us for any other loss or damage that any of us suffer that is not a foreseeable result of any of us not complying with the Terms and Conditions. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen or if at the time of the sale of the Lot, we, you and the Seller knew it might happen.
14.3 Subject to Clause 14.4, if we are found to be liable to you for any reason (including, amongst others, if we are found to be negligent, in breach of contract or to have made a misrepresentation), our liability will be limited to the total purchase price paid by you to us for any Lot.
14.4 Notwithstanding the above, nothing in these Terms of Sale shall limit our liability (or that of our employees or agents) for:
14.4.1 death or personal injury resulting from negligence (as defined in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977);
