SECTION THE TONYTITLE VENISON COLLECTION XX-XX 1-29
We are delighted to present for auction works from the estate of Tony Venison. Tony was the Gardens Editor of ‘Country Life’ magazine for many years and visited many of the country’s greatest gardens. Through his interest in horticulture, he became friendly with Cedric Morris. His home, Hill House in Sudbury was a short drive to Cedric’s East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing in Hadleigh near Dedham, and after meeting Morris in 1971, he became a frequent visitor to Benton End. He soon got to know many of the artists living and working there and began to build up his own collection including works by Morris. Tony sought out Cedric Morris as a fellow gardener, and Cedric used to tell him ‘it is such a relief to talk about plants’ (‘Benton End Remembered’, compiled and edited by Gwynneth Reynolds and Diana Grace, Unicorn Press, 2002, p.109). But he also had a huge appreciation of Morris’s paintings. Tony remarked ‘What Cedric strove for in his irises was there in the pictures in his extraordinary colour sense. The colour was so singular they made your eyes pop’. (Ibid, p.112). In the other direction, he was also near to Great Bardfield, another local artistic community where he encountered John Aldridge and the Bawdens. Tony was an avid art collector and over many years amassed an important collection of 20th Century works including works by John Craxton and John Nash. We presented a selection for sale on behalf of Tony in October 2019, however, like any true collector he couldn’t relinquish everything, retaining his favourite pieces as he downsized. Tony sadly passed away shortly after that sale and we now present the remainder of his collection alongside art books from his library.

An old label states that this work was painted at Tizi-Ouzou, Kabylia. Philip Mould, ‘Beyond the Garden Wall’, April-July 2018, Catalogue p.19, fig.8. Like many of us, Cedric Morris was fond of travels to warmer climes and he spent much time around the Mediterranean. In 1921, after relocating to Paris, he travelled to Tizi Ouzou, Algeria, where he found ample variety of subject matter for his paintings. Whilst there he spent time painting the local inhabitants, as well as the exotic plants that so interested him. Morris is best known for his vibrant paintings of flora and landscapes, and it is fair to say that these were his chief areas of interest. However, time spent in Paris had enabled him to enhance his study of human individuals going about daily life in streets and cafes, and he brought this competence with him to Algeria. On the visit to Tizi Ouzou, he made studies of the local people, and his skill at painting the human face and capturing something deeper than just a likeness can be seen in ‘Senegalese Boy’. A slightly disembodied, sculptural quality pervades this work – a quality that can be seen across many of his portraits.

MODERN BRITISH AND 20TH CENTURY ART 30-354
Edward Bawden RA (1903-1989) When Bawden and his friend Eric Ravilious moved to Essex in the 1930s, they gathered a group of fellow artists around them, creating an artists’ community centred around Great Bardfield. The following four lots were among a dozen drawings created by Bawden for use in ‘The English Scene’, a diary and notebook published by textiles firm Morton Sundour Fabrics. At the height of the vogue for the group of figurative artists who lived and worked in and around Great Bardfield, Bawden was invited to illustrate the diary for a number of years in the early to mid 1950s. These date from the edition published in 1955, the year before Bawden was elected as a full Royal Academician. Interest in Bawden’s work and his life in Great Bardfield (and later in Saffron Walden) has risen again in the past decades. Alongside rising prices for his prints, paintings and drawings, the Morton Sundour Diary and Notebook was republished by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2012.

Lot 41 *Cedric Morris (1889-1982) GYPSY QUEEN CARAVANS IN A SUSSEX MEADOW Signed, dedicated ‘To Phyllis…’ and dated 1927 l.r., oil on canvas 46 x 59cm, unframed £15,000 - 20,000 The present lot is an early work from 1927, and painted by Morris for his own pleasure. The dedication in the bottom right-hand corner of the painting ‘to Phyllis from Cedric 1927’ is to the vendor’s mother Phyllis Pitcairn Gage-Brown, who was a childhood friend of Paul Odo Cross, the son of an American heiress and a close friend of Cedric at that time. (See Morris’s portrait of Odo-Cross, 1925, National Museum of Wales). Gage-Brown owned one of the caravans that appear in the picture and Odo Cross, who was known by the nickname ‘Bud’, the other. It had been the norm for the group to ‘play’ at camping together at Socknersh Manor, the East Sussex estate owned by Cross’s mother. Cross’s gypsy caravan later moved with him to Tidcombe Manor in Wiltshire where he lived with the horticulturalist Angus Wilson. The vendor remembers seeing it when he cycled there from Marlborough for tea in the late 1940s. It was Wilson who first introduced Morris to the possibilities of iris breeding in 1934. Irises would become his great passion; while painting and teaching, he cultivated more than ninety new named varieties, many carrying the prefix ‘Benton’. At the time the picture was painted, Morris was working from a studio at Great Ormond Street and had joined the Seven and Five Society of London painters and sculptors.

In the 1970s, he studied at the Royal Academy Schools, excelling in life drawing and winning silver medals for drawing and painting. His RA Diploma exhibition led to Southampton City Art Gallery purchasing ‘Daydream’, the major work of that show, which remains in the Gallery’s permanent collection.
188
He moved to Cambridgeshire in 1978, where his studio was located and is still run by his family. He was a figurative painter excited by experimenting with colour and form, driven by the challenge of conveying an intense emotional charge through his work. He was inspired by a wide range of artists, from Rembrandt to Eardley, and developed a style all his own. He had an uncanny eye for the private or fleeting moment: a conversation between friends; a mother talking to her child; the turn of a head as the subject’s attention is caught. Numerous exhibitions, including several since his death in 2000, have gathered an enthusiastic audience. His work is represented in private collections in England, Europe, Japan, and the US.

She stated her aim as ‘to create an explosion of energy, to generate an electric shock to the senses that awakens the uninhibited childlike freedom that is within us all but has perhaps been lying dormant’. McGivern exhibited widely in group and solo exhibitions all over the world, including Toronto, New York, Dubai, Austria, Switzerland and London.

254 Lot 254 *William Crosbie RSA (1915-1999) SEATED NUDE c.1970 Signed l.r., oil on canvas 75 x 50cm £2,000 - 3,000 William Crosbie’s time as an art student in Paris between 1937 and 1939 brought him into contact with two of the greatest artists then in France – first when studying painting under Fernand Leger and later in taking drawing lessons from Aristide Maillol. The influence of each can at times be discerned in the developing strands of Crosbie’s own work in the coming decades – and innovative echoes of Maillol appear in the statuesque nudes that Crosbie drew and painted from the late 1940s onwards. This confidently modelled work, distinguished by a near sculptural presence and subtly painted flesh tones, relates to others in Scottish public collections where the model also wears a choker necklace. It is even more closely linked to another work from 1970, ‘Clothilde’, which will be included in ‘William Crosbie: The Devoted Creative’, a major new exhibition scheduled to open later this year at the Scottish Gallery in Edinburgh.

Lot 282 *William Tillyer (b.1938) ‘ENCOUNTER IN THE 3RD STYLE MATRIX’ Signed verso, oil on canvas 71 x 91cm £3,000 - 5,000 Provenance: W ith Bernard Jacobson Gallery. William Tillyer is an extremely versatile artist whose abstract works have a power and immediacy to them. His work has developed and changed over decades. The current piece shows echoes of his Westwood series, painted during his time in North Yorkshire, at Westwood studios between 1987-1990. Working on a large scale, using a broom head he created huge arcs and commas of paint, exploring ‘the physicality of the medium’ (Norbert Lynton, William Tillyer: ‘Against the Grain’, 2000, 21 Publishing Ltd. London). These bold marks, while appearing accidental and totally abstract, are in fact symbolic of the landscape around him: blue is the sky; brown the earth; green the trees.

After a successful career in advertising, he went freelance in 1968, and devoted his time to his linocuts and woodblock prints and posters. He was known particularly for the political and social messages behind his work, tackling a wide range of issues and also literary subjects. His work spans five decades, his unique style combined type and artwork and was very influential. While his works are numerous, he tended not to produce large editions; generally, although not numbered, they were in editions of no more than 75.

341 Lot 341 *Grayson Perry RA (b.1960) ‘ALIEN BABY’ Glazed ceramic, stamped and numbered to the reverse ‘9’, from a series of 12, executed 2018 27 x 17cm £4,000 - 6,000 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. Episode three, Birth, followed Essex-based couple Abbie and Laura and their sons Caspar and Ezra who, after being born at 26 weeks, were cared for over 100 days by the neonatal care team at Chelmsford’s Broomfield Hospital. During his visit to the unit the artist noticed the serene calm of the ward, noting the secure environment felt itself ‘like floating around in amniotic fluid.’ 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.
www.sworder.co.uk
‘It feels otherworldly like we are on board a spaceship drifting through inner space on our way to the time when they [the babies] should have come’. 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’. It seems only fitting that this sculpture comes to auction to help finance the IVF treatment that will enable Abbie and Laura to continue to grow their family.

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%
•
From €350,000.01 to €500,000
0.5%
Hammer Price
Exceeding €500,000
Royalty
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.
148
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 §.

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.

Neither we nor the Seller will be liable to pay you any sums over and above the Total Amount Due and we will not be responsible for any inaccuracies in the information provided by the Seller except as set out below. 11.3 Please note that many of the Lots that you may bid on at our auction are second-hand.

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 Conditions of Business. 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.
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.
14.4 Notwithstanding the above, nothing in these Terms of Sale shall limit our liability (or that of our employees or agents) for:
11.5 Save as expressly set out above, all other warranties, conditions or other terms which might have effect between the Seller and you, or us and you, or be implied or incorporated by statue, common law or otherwise are excluded.
