LOTS 1-13
FROM THE ESTATE OF ROBIN AND PATRICIA PICKARD
Robin and Patricia Pickard
Edward Bawden, close friend of the Pickards
Patricia and Robin Pickard met on the Wirral in Cheshire where Robin was a research chemist. They moved to North Essex in the mid-1960s, settling in Henham, later moving to Ashdon in 1988 to be closer to the Church Street Gallery, Saffron Walden, which Pat established in 1983. The Gallery was fired by Pat’s love of art and antiques, and opened with an exhibition of the works of Edward Bawden (1903-1989), who became a personal friend. Edward designed a logo for the Gallery, promotional material and Christmas cards, and the Gallery staged further exhibitions of his work and those of his son Richard. In April 1987, the Gallery staged the first UK solo exhibition for Icelandic artist Karolina Larusdottir (1944-2019) who also became a close friend. The Church Street Gallery closed in 1990, however, Pat continued to pursue her love of the arts, successfully being awarded a BA and then an MA by Anglia University. During their retirement, both Pat and Robin derived great pleasure from their personal art collection, highlights from which are included in this auction. The following thirteen lots are from the estate of Robin and Patricia Pickard. A further twenty-five lots from the estate are to be sold by Sworders in the Modern British and 20th Century Art Sale Part 2, a timed online auction running from 9 October - 1 November 2020 .

LOTS 33-44A PROPERTY FROM THE ESTATE OF LUCY WERTHEIM (1882-1971) The following fourteen lots belonged to the well-known art dealer and collector, Lucy Wertheim, and have remained with her family by descent. Wertheim established her first gallery in Mayfair in 1930 after a decade of engagement with art, principally as a collector. She championed many young British artists, including Henry Moore, Cedric Morris and, in the year prior to his tragic early death, Christopher Wood. Through her career, she had galleries in Derbyshire, London and Brighton where she settled. She provided welcome support to many artists who we know well today. Among her protégés were Phelan Gibb and Kenneth Hall, whose work she retained as part of her personal collection. The Towner Art Gallery, Eastbourne will be celebrating her life with a forthcoming exhibition ‘Lucy Wertheim, Patron, Collector and Gallerist’ in 2022.

70 Lot 70 *Cedric Morris (1889-1982) French landscape signed l.r., oil on canvas 45.5 x 55cm £15,000 - 20,000
colourist J D Fergusson held her summer school. Like many artists, he was drawn to the south of France, in particular to the vallée de l’Ouvèze, where he remarked of his work there: ‘I think the landscapes are the best I have ever done, rather like the Newlyn ones, the colour suits me’ (Hugh St. Clair, ‘A Lesson in Art and Life’ Pimpernel Press Ltd., 1919, p.48).
Provenance: S otheby’s London, 26 September 1984, lot 274.
In his Mediterranean works we can see a difference in colours as Cedric responds to the drier landscape - the heavy, rich greens and browns that saturate his British and Welsh views are still present, but toned more sparsely amongst ochres, Naples yellow and raw umbers, punctuated with accents of pale blues and pinkish hues. In our picture we can feel the difference in climate, the dry arid sandy soil and rocks of the foreground and the lighter-coloured olive trees beyond. The work is typical of his painting style - richly impastoed, with clearly defined brush strokes applied in varying angles across the surface. The work is impressionistic; he manages in a few gestural stokes to depict a startling variety of trees and shrubs, indicating his huge appreciation of the variety of flora around him.
Cedric Morris had an enduring interest in landscape painting stretching back to his early years as a painter. Before the late 1920s, although interested in nature, he was yet to develop his passion for horticulture and so his output was varied in its scope and comprised of many portraits, landscapes and also birds. He lived for two years between 1918 and 1920 in Newlyn, and then along with his partner Lett Haines moved more permanently to Paris towards the end of 1920, using it as a base for the majority of the decade to come. From here, he could travel widely and he spent the summers throughout Europe in pursuit of new landscapes for inspiration. He spent time in Italy, the Dordogne, and Normandy where Margaret Morris, wife of the

The dark colours and bold juxtaposition of foreground subjects can be found in several works executed in the early 1980s - a period when Piper experimented with new compositions, drawing from his existing painting and work in other media, such as photography and ceramics. The sculpted head relates to similar female forms found notably in ‘Girl’s head with flowers’ (1981) and ‘A Window at North Moreton’ (1982), which both introduce a woman’s face into the artist’s more familiar subject matter. Similar dog-like gargoyles appear in one of Piper’s photographs now held at the Tate Gallery, (ref: TGA 8728/1/21/115), while the background figures are drawn from a large screenprint, ‘Eye and Camera: Blue to Ochre’ (c.1977), also at the Tate. For further details and illustration of related work in this period, see D F Jenkins and H Fowler-Wright, ‘The Art of John Piper’ (Unicorn/Portland Gallery: 2016, pp.397-400).

My thoughts are crowded out by nostalgia, imagination to the almost complete destruction of memory. All that comes to me is a battle about figuration verbally and in letters with my great friend Roger Hilton. At that time in Leeds I had attempted to use a kind of ‘figure’ shape either horizontally or vertically but it had to have no resemblance to Picasso figure distortion. Remember Moore’s reclining figures were dominating British Sculpture. I used the rythm [sic] I liked the linear drawing that finished up with chevron used for structural reasons and very often a submerged ripple delight, sensuality being a very important feeling on top of a good structure. That’s all this Sunday morning, Terry’.

LOTS 250-265
WILLIAM AND PAMELA CHARD The following sixteen lots are from the Studio of William and Pamela Chard. A further fifty lots from the studio are to be sold by Sworders in the Modern British and 20th Century Art Sale Part 2, a timed online auction running from 9 October - 1 November 2020. William, at art school, produced a number of large paintings that were executed in life drawing classes - mainly of female nudes - and some figurative or semi-figurative paintings that took as subject-matter a scene, such as figures at a wedding, and used these to explore patterns and play of colour. He was experimenting with sculpture and was also making reliefs - an art form with which he continued to engage throughout his life. When she was 21 or 22, Pamela, still a student, left her parents’ home to marry William, and they moved into a small flat in Chelsea. Pamela described their life there as impoverished, but socially delightful, since friends from among their fellow-students, lecturers and other artists and intellectuals who happened to be around at the time, would often call by. A particular friend of my mother was Marie Parmeter (some of whose work is included in this sale). Other friends were Prunella Clough (1919-99), the sculptor Shelley Fausset (1920-94), who worked as Henry Moore’s assistant from 1946 to 1948, and the painter and sculptor John Lavrin, who married Suncana, the daughter of the well-known Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović, and worked as an assistant for him. My mother, Pamela Chard, née Bloomfield (1926-2003) won a scholarship to Chelsea School of Art when she was seventeen, in the mid-1940s. My father, William Chard (b.1923), after a spell in prison for six months as a conscientious objector, arrived at Chelsea a year after her. They had glimpsed each other at the art school, but actually first met at the Redfern Gallery in Cork Street, and as soon as it became possible for foreigners to visit Europe in the wake of the Second World War, the two of them hitch-hiked around France together. Pamela had been educated in convent schools, but the liberatory atmosphere of art school - and no doubt her affection for my father, who was agnostic - led her to question her faith for the first time, and prompted her to experiment with a wide range of media and techniques. Her work was mainly figurative, and she had a particular penchant and talent for drawing, cultivating an easy, flowing line. An enviable talent of hers was the ability to produce a rapid thumbnail sketch of a painting, which would seize the principal lines of the composition in a lively, dynamic way.
Of the artists who taught William and Pamela, those whom they mentioned most often were Henry Moore (1898-1986), Ceri Richards (1903-1971) and the painter Vivian Pitchforth (1895-1982), of whom William spoke especially warmly, having valued Pitchforth’s ability to help him define what he wished to achieve in his painting. After finishing their degrees, William and Pamela went to Bristol to do a teacher training course. William had been offered part-time teaching at Chelsea, and was very tempted to rely on this and on selling work, but financial caution prevailed. They both took up a series of teaching jobs in London, and exhibited in group exhibitions: for example, in the ‘open submission’ shows of the London Group. From stories that they told of this period, their life continued to have a fairly bohemian, free and easy flavour, even after I was born at the end of 1955 and my brother in 1959. Around this time, William began to paint abstract works that made use of oil paint (usually on wood), but that were in some ways more reliefs than paintings: he often thickened the paint with filler, and he would make use of nails, hammered into the wood to different depths, and of found objects, such as a chair seat. Pamela, by the mid-1960s, was painting mainly portraits and landscapes - perhaps drawn towards the latter by her intense passion for gardening although she also produced more quirky jeux d’esprit in her drawings and prints. In 1965, William took a job as the head of a foundation course at Barnet College of Further Education, where he remained until his retirement. My parents moved to Finchley, choosing to live there because it was an area in which they could afford a house with plenty of studio space. They acquired an etching press, and took classes in etching, producing a number of inventive and playful prints. My father exhibited works at the Drian Gallery and the Comedy Gallery. Pamela took up part-time adult teaching, initially for the local authority; much later, when her classes were axed by Barnet Borough Council, her students were so incensed that they set up their own collective, Studio N3, and she continued to teach there until her final illness. In the 1960s, both my parents became interested in developments in graphic design. In William’s case, this interest was manifested in his use of blocks of clear, bright colour and geometric shapes, and by the early 1970s, he started to work with acrylic paint. He was entertained by the more witty and ludic forms of Pop Art; although none of his works could be situated within this genre, he enjoyed inventing titles with a ‘pop’ flavour, such as ‘Whoosh!’. He and Pamela warmed to Arte Povera, although in his use of found objects he was less interested in exploring the relation between the ‘natural’ and the ‘artificial’ than proponents of that movement were: rather, he liked to assemble arrays of plastic objects, such as bottle tops, and to bring their improbably saturated colours into proximity with each other. He also increasingly focused on collage as a way of pursuing his interest in effects of colour. During the 1970s, Pamela became involved with the local branch of the Arts Council of Great Britain; by the 1980s, she was running a small Arts Council gallery in Totteridge. She continued to paint until her final illness. William continued to paint and make objects until he entered a nursing home at the end of 2018. While researching for this essay, I found a clipping from a local paper of a review by Ray Rushton of a joint show by my parents at St Mary’s Arts Centre, Colchester - I think from the 1970s. He says of my mother: ‘like all expressionists, Pamela Chard is…hit and miss in composition, wild in colour and instant [sic] inspirational in feeling’. Another review, by Margaret Richards, from the Barnet Press of 1 July 1977, considering an exhibition by William at a local gallery, discerns in his paintings ‘a kind of tipsy gaiety, with nothing quite what it seems at first glance’.

Gabriel Summers, painter, etcher and dealer-researcher, was born in Dorset, the grandson of the artists Gerald and Nora Summers. Summers’ interest in art was encouraged as a child and he won an art scholarship to Canford School, 1975-80, where he was taught by Robin J Noscoe. He graduated in the history of art at Reading University, 1980-83 and gained his masters in that subject at the Courtauld Institute, 1983-84, concentrating on British romantic art, a continuing interest. In 1990, Summers was featured in the episode ‘In Search of Bohemia’, part of the BBC television ‘Abroad in Britain’ series, with Jonathan Meades. Group shows included ‘Nudes for St Valentine’, Bartley Drey Gallery, 1996; ‘Contemporary British Art’, The Millinery Works, 2003; and ‘Little Venice Drawing Group’, The Clifton Gallery, 2003. He had solo exhibitions at Odd Fellows Hall, Wimborne, 1997, and Canford School Library, 1999.

Lot 346 *Grayson Perry RA (b.1960) ‘Alien Baby’ glazed ceramic, 2008, stamped and numbered 11 to the reverse, from an edition of 12 27 x 17cm £4,000 - 6,000 Provenance: T his work was given by the artist to one of the nurses featured in the programme. ‘Alien Baby’ was created during his time making the BAFTA nominated ‘Rites of Passage’, a four episode series exploring the topics of Death, Marriage, Birth and Coming of Age. Perry travelled the world exploring rituals across different cultures before returning home to England, to discuss his findings with British families, drawing parallels with seminal moments in their own lives and helping to devise secular rituals to help them make sense of the landmark moments they were experiencing. He described witnessing the slow motion modern miracle that sees the babies being nurtured into the world by the dedicated team of nurses who help them survive and thrive against all odds. He sees the nurses as the crew of a spaceship, employing modern technology with a sympathetic touch, the twinkling lights of the monitors reminiscent of the light-up controls of the flight deck of a spaceship. Inspired by this cosmic scene and believing there to be a need for the NHS to be ritualised as one of the pillars of modern society, Grayson produced a range of 12 ‘Alien Babies’, each a celebration of the NHS, the technology and, above all, the humanity of the neonatal nurses. The works, each unique and executed in pottery with a metallic gilt glaze, were gifted by the artist to every member of the neonatal team at the Broomfield, as well as to the couples featured in the show. He states ‘each sculpture represents the spirit of all the little lives bought into the earth by the nursing team’.

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.
Bears/with signature, inscription, date in our opinion the signature/inscription/date are not by the hand of the named artist.
Circle of David Cox in our opinion a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.
The addition of a question mark (?) after any of the above cataloguing terms indicates an element of doubt.
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
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.
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 Euros 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%.
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. 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.
From 0 to €50,000
4%
From €50,000.01 to €200,000
3%
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:
From €200,000.01 to €350,000
1%
•
Hammer Price
From €350,000.01 to €500,000 Exceeding €500,000
Royalty
0.5% 0.25%
What is the qualifying threshold? An artwork must sell for more than €1,000 to qualify for a royalty. The law defines the price threshold in Euros and, because the exchange rate between the two currencies changes daily, the equivalent in Pounds Sterling must be worked out according to the exchange rate on the date the artwork was sold.
120
What nationality must an artist be to qualify? The Artist’s Resale Right applies to the sale of artworks in the European Economic Area (EEA). The following countries are in the EEA:
• • •
the artwork is a copyright protected work of graphic or plastic art; it is sold for more than €1000; 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 or another country in the European Economic Area (EEA).
This royalty, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser. It is exempt of VAT.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS 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 Conditions of Business incorporating the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers), the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the auctioneer at the auction. Our Conditions of Business 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 Conditions of Business that you do not fully understand. Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale set out in this catalogue or on our website 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. 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 web site, 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 within this time. Please note what the Terms of Sale say about collection and storage. Items not removed by 5pm on Friday may be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 as an administration fee and £2 per lot per day may be charged (plus vat). Please note that we will apply these charges strictly to Furniture purchased in our Homes and Interiors Sales. Dispatch We are rarely able to pack and dispatch purchases. A choice of shippers is detailed on our web site. 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.
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% plus VAT while bidding via Sworders website. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 4.95% plus VAT. Both charges will be payable to us on top of the hammer price and our buyer’s commission.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
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 Port auctions when it is 15%. In addition, VAT is charged on these premiums (see below).
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.
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.
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 safe must be re-commissioned by an appropriately qualified electrician and we recommend those certified safe are similarly re-commissioned.
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. 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 condition of lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clause 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.
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. Furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia Negra) To comply with CITES Regulations on Post-1947 furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood, all post-war rosewood furniture items have Article 10 certificates. 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 Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (‘AHVLA’) 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 §.
121
