XX-XX 1-23

GREAT BARDFIELD AND BENTON END We are delighted to begin this catalogue with a section on the East Anglian artists of Great Bardfield and Benton End. Although located within fifty miles of each other, these two schools were comprised of very different artists and practices. We can think of Great Bardfield, a small village in North Essex, as an artists’ community, whereas Benton End, located on the outskirts of Hadleigh, Suffolk, was more formally established as an art school by Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett-Haines, and was known as ‘The East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing’. In the early 1930s, Edward Bawden and Eric Ravilious moved to The Brick House, Great Bardfield with their respective wives, Charlotte Epton and Tirzah Garwood. Living as a four until 1934, the artists were joined in the village by John Aldridge who lived at Place House. The Great Bardfield artists are diverse in their styles and techniques, but shared a love for their local scenery and for village life. It is exciting, not only to offer a woodcut by Garwood, but to show Bawden’s ‘Audley End’. There are also three wonderful landscapes by John Aldridge set in this area. During the Second World War, the artists dispersed, only to return years later with a crucial member, Ravilious, lost to them after he was reported missing and presumed dead in 1942; Garwood also did not return to Great Bardfield. However, the community continued to thrive with artists such as Walter Hoyle and Sheila Robinson joining the set. Active at a similar time, ‘The East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing’ was initially located at Pound Farm, Dedham. Amongst its earliest students was Lucian Freud, who was reportedly responsible for an accidental fire that destroyed Pound Farm and forced the school to move to Benton End in 1940. The school offered a freer approach to teaching based on reassurance rather than critique. Students were immersed in gardening, required to help with housework and gathered every evening to eat Arthur Lett-Haines’ delicious Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. As interested in gardening as painting, Cedric Morris found greater fame in his lifetime as a breeder of irises. Yet, in recent years, Morris has received considerable acclaim for his paintings, aided by an exhibition of his work at Philip Mould & Co. (2018). With Morris’s auction prices becoming unattainable for most, interest has fallen on his pupils. Represented in this catalogue are Lucy Harwood, Joan Warburton and Alan Walton who each inherited a freshness of vision and passion for their local surroundings from Morris. Sworders’ sale of the Sally Hunter and Ian Posgate Collection (May 2021) set the record for the highest prices at auction for each of these artists.

Marjorie Lilly was born in London and studied at the Slade, she met Walter Sickert in 1917 when she had a studio in the same building as him.

Lilly exhibited widely at the Baillie Gallery, London Salon, New English Art Club and Royal Society of British Artists.

Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, throughout her childhood she lived in many different countries including Germany, Austria, Italy and Spain. In the late 1940s, she moved to the UK and stayed as a paying guest with the former Empress of Austria in Kensington. She later moved into her own house in Belgravia where, in the words of the vendor, she hosted ‘the great and the good of all ages, the only requirement being that you must have a title’. The artist Saint-Paull painted many well-known stars of the day including Rita Hayworth and even Lord Mountbatten. Betty’s life also crossed paths with the royal family, she held a Royal Warrant for lighting from 1978, which was sold from her shop in Elizabeth Street. Above the shop lived Anthony Armstrong Jones, the future husband of Princess Margaret. Later in life, Betty sold the emeralds worn in this portrait to help pay for the restoration of The Ring at Audley End. This portrait was displayed in the dining rooms of many of her friends including Lord Braybrooke, Lord Parmoor, Sir Henry Marking and the Sainsbury family.

THE ELSIE HENDERSON COLLECTION 84-108

A collection of works from the studio of Elsie Marian Henderson, Baroness de Coudenhove (1880-1967)

Elsie Henderson in her Holland Park studio c.1926 working on a sculpture of a lioness

Elsie Henderson was one of the most versatile and accomplished artists of the inter-war years, and considered as one of the finest draughtsmen of animals in Europe. She was internationally renowned for her vigorous, passionate drawings, prints and sculptures of the jungle cats she sketched incessantly at London Zoo. Elsie Henderson was European in her training and interests. Having become a student at the Slade in 1903 under Henry Tonks, Fred Brown and Philip Wilson Steer, she developed her extraordinary sense of line and ability to observe the world around her. She later studied and copied the masters in galleries in Dresden, Berlin and central Italy. From 1908, she continued her training in Paris, attending a number of progressive ateliers including La Palette, where Cubist Amédée Ozenfant was a fellow student, and also that of the sculptor Filippo Colarossi – who not only admitted women, but also allowed them to draw from the male nudes in his life classes as well as the female. By the time she was at the studio of Fauvist Othon Friesz in 1912, Henderson had come into contact with many of the most influential art teachers in Paris and London. Having spent the First World War in Guernsey, her childhood home, Henderson enrolled at Chelsea Polytechnic in 1916 to learn lithography under Ernest Jackson. She became famous immediately for the series of animal lithographs she began then - outstanding in their grasp of form and design and almost Japanese use of space - and for the London Zoo drawings on which they were based. In 1916, the Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, acquired six of these works from a New English Art Club exhibition, and in 1917, commenting on a Women’s International Art Club exhibition, the art critic Sir Claude Phillips wrote ‘Nothing in the gallery equals in suppleness and power, in intensity and passion, Miss Elsie M Henderson’s studies in black chalk of the royal beasts of the cat tribe’. That year she was commissioned by London Transport to design a London Zoo poster for the Underground. She set up her own printing press, and became a member of the lithographers’ Senefelder Club. During the early 1920s, Elsie Henderson experimented with stone and cement sculpture, and developed an expertise in clay-modelling and

bronze-casting. Her self-doubt was tempered by her close friendships with strong, independent women like the painter Orovida Pissarro, and she went on to hold solo exhibitions at the Leicester, Redfern and Storran galleries, and to exhibit with other well-known artists like Paul Nash. Her work was bought by and presented to museums worldwide. Henderson returned to Guernsey in 1928, marrying the French consul Baron Henri de Coudenhove. Continuing to enjoy international success, she worked hard in her purpose-built studio producing linocuts as well as lithographs, and vibrant, Deco-style still-lifes and portraits of women in oils and pastels. All this changed, however, with the Second World War and the German Occupation of the island. With the couple facing starvation, Henderson was forced to abandon her art to grow food. In 1946, the Baron died from the consequences of malnutrition, and Henderson moved with her sister to Hadlow Down in Sussex. In Sussex, Elsie once again built her own studio, and with renewed determination to experiment and express her feelings in her art, worked obsessively, almost daily, until her death in 1967. This energy is particularly evident in the series of watercolours and oils of the Sussex countryside she produced during the 1950s, when she was again exhibiting with the best-known British artists, for example at the Leicester Galleries in 1954. With their slashes of vivid colour, and often tending towards abstraction, many of these in their treatment of light have a visionary quality – as if Henderson was perhaps reaching a state of acceptance after her vicissitudes, and sensing the end of her life. In 1985, the Parkin Gallery, London, revived Elsie Henderson’s memory with an exhibition of her work alongside that of Orovida Pissarro. The Sally Hunter Gallery then held three further Elsie Henderson exhibitions. Henderson’s life spanned a long, important period in British history, with many changes in society and artistic styles. The significance of her contribution to the Modern British art movement is now, again, being recognised and celebrated by art historians and collectors alike.

Provenance: B equeathed to the current owner by Alfred Hecht.

LOUDON SAINTHILL (AUSTRALIAN, 1919-1969) Artist, costume and set designer, Loudon Sainthill lived a life designing for stars of the ballet, opera, theatre and film. He was born in Tasmania, but moved to Melbourne where he met his lifelong partner, Harry Karl Tatlock Miller (1913-1989). His love of theatre design began in Australia, where he designed for touring ballets. His paintings of the dancers garnered attention and, in 1939, he was invited to London to exhibit at the Redfern Gallery. This success was followed by exhibitions in Australia. During the Second World War, Sainthill served with the Australian Army. He was discharged in 1946 and briefly lived with Miller in Merioola, which was also the home of a group of artists including Alec Murray, Jocelyn Rickards and Donald Friend. Returning to London in 1949, Sainthill’s career took off; he designed for the ballet ‘Ile des Sirenes’ starring Margot Fonteyn (1950) and then ‘The Tempest’ at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre (1951). One of his most celebrated projects was for the set and costume designs of ‘Le Coq d’Or’ at the Royal Opera House, Sainthill being given this commission after Marc Chagall suddenly withdrew from the project. Sainthill later won a Tony for his work on ‘The Canterbury Tales’ (1967). During his lifetime, he worked on more than fifty productions, and published multiple books of his designs and paintings with his partner, Miller, enabling his innovative and vibrant designs to live on to inspire future generations.

20TH CENTURY 24-132

FRANÇOISE GILOT (FRENCH, b.1921) Nearing her one-hundredth birthday on 26 November this year, Marie Françoise Gilot has lived a remarkable life, from her decade-long love affair with Pablo Picasso in her early twenties, to becoming the talented painter and writer celebrated today. A gifted artist from a young age, Gilot was educated at the Sorbonne, Paris and Cambridge University. In 1939, she began to study law, but abandoned her studies after a few years to pursue her love of painting. In 1943, Gilot was in a restaurant dining with a friend a few tables across from Pablo Picasso. He was sitting with his then lover, Dora Maar, the surrealist photographer. He approached Gilot and offered an invitation to his studio. Aged just 21 years old at the time, Picasso was significantly older, aged 61. Yet Gilot was fascinated, and became his muse, advisor and lover. They had two children together, Claude (b.1947) and Paloma (b.1949). She said of her relationship with Picasso, ‘it was a catastrophe I didn’t want to avoid’. In 1953, Gilot left the artist, taking their two children with her. She only saw him once more in her lifetime. Gilot continued to paint, but Picasso discouraged galleries and dealers from accepting her work, so noticing instead her following in America, she relocated to New York in 1961. Exacerbating the bitterness of their split, Gilot published her memoir ‘Life with Picasso’ (1964), which became an instant bestseller and sold over a million copies. Painted in 1963, we are delighted to offer the bold work ‘Cortege’. Executed in a brilliant red, its vibrant yellow circles with blue and black lines appear to tumble over each other in the way of organised chaos. Gilot has said on a number of occasions that red is her favourite colour; in fact an exhibition at the Elkon Gallery (2019) specifically dedicated itself to the colour red in Gilot’s work.

Gilot’s output has continued to grow in popularity and, in May of this year, the artist’s ‘Paloma à la Guitare’ (1965) became the most expensive work by Gilot to be sold at auction, hammering down well above estimate at £750,000.

www.sworder.co.uk

Arthur Delaney was born in Manchester and worked in a textile factory. He began painting for relaxation as opposed to having any formal training, although after his retirement he became well-regarded with his first one man show in 1974 selling out within an hour. One of his big influences was Laurence Stephen Lowry, another Manchester artist whose industrial landscapes and views of factories and crowds reminded Delaney of his youth and inspired him to create his own landscapes. His work sought to capture the atmosphere of the 1930s, for which he held such nostalgia, yet unlike Lowry his works were true likenesses of the locations he chose. The two artists were friends and it is fascinating to see such a striking and frank depiction of Lowry, clearly painted by an artist who knew him well. Close cut and without background, the head is uncompromising within the picture frame; while Lowry is not looking at the viewer, his gaze is nonetheless sharp and piercing, alive with intelligence.

The religious/naturalistic imagery, with an agonised body configured of branches, roots and stones, builds imaginatively on Sutherland’s own depictions of Christ’s crucified suffering, first produced during this period.

LEONARD ROSOMAN RA (1913-2012) Lots 153-162

153

The current owner has been a lifelong collector of Leonard Rosoman and met the artist after buying his first Rosoman work aged 20. Rosoman lived and worked at ‘Pembroke Studios’, a purpose-built row of artists’ studios behind Kensington High Street. One of his neighbours and early students was David Hockney (lots 261 and 301). In the mid to late 1970s, Rosoman had an opportunity to buy his studio. He enlisted the help of the current owner, who was a chartered surveyor, to undertake a valuation of the property, so that Rosoman could secure a 100% loan from the bank. As a thank-you, Rosoman gave the owner a collection of watercolours and drawings, including lots 153-5, 157-8 and 161. Continuing his collecting habits, the owner purchased lots 156, 159 and 162 at later dates.

She studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, joining in 1920, and was taught by Henry Tonks and Philip Wilson Steer (lot 42). She worked as an illustrator for the Hogarth Press, meeting Leonard and Virginia Woolf at this time, and later published her own work in ‘Bells Across the Sand, A Book of Rhymes with Pictures’, Chatto & Windus, 1944. She is perhaps best known for her relationship with Leonard Woolf, who she became close to after the death of Virginia Woolf in 1941. It is unclear as to whether the pair were lovers or close friends, but they remained intimate until Leonard’s death in 1969. He was known to refer to her in letters as ‘Dearest Tiger’ and he left his home, Monk House, to Trekkie in his will.

MODERN BRITISH 133-214

JULIAN TREVELYAN RA (1910-1988) Julian Trevelyan was one of the most varied painters and printmakers of the twentieth century. Growing up in Cambridge, he trained in Paris before moving to London, where he became a founding member of the ‘British Surrealist Group’. In 1935, Trevelyan bought Durham Wharf, a house just off Chiswick Mall and overlooking the Thames, which would be his home for life. He lived there for a time with his first wife, Ursula Darwin, but when she left him in 1948, his friendship with Mary Fedden (lot 169) developed into an intense love that would last a lifetime. The pair had first met at the Slade School of Art when Fedden was a student there (1932-36), and Fedden is quoted as saying that she knew she would marry him from the very first instant. She moved to Durham Wharf in 1949 and they were married in 1951. From 1950, Trevelyan taught at the Chelsea School of Art and later became Head of Etching at the Royal College of Art. His pupils included David Hockney (lots 261 and 301) and Norman Ackroyd (lots 236 and 237) - Ackroyd wrote of Trevelyan’s teaching, ‘he created a tranquil and industrious atmosphere in which magic could happen’ (Mel Gooding, ‘Mary Fedden’, Scolar Press, 1996, p.92). Julian and Mary were passionate travellers. In 1960, they visited the Soviet Union and lot 167 depicts ‘Novgorod’, one of the oldest cities in Russia. In 1963, Trevelyan suffered severe illness from meningitis and retired from teaching thereafter, yet he and Fedden continued to travel and to paint. Lot 168 is a large oil of the most iconic scene in Bristol - Clifton Suspension Bridge. Fedden was born in Bristol and lived there for a time after the Second World War, which suggests why the couple returned to the city. There are certainly other works by Trevelyan of Bristol including one of ‘Temple Meads Station, Bristol’ (1981) in the collection of Durham University. Trevelyan was made a Royal Academician in 1987, shortly before his death in 1988. He is a much respected artist and a major exhibition of his work was held at Pallant House in 2018/19.

MARY FEDDEN RA (1915-2012) Mary Fedden studied at the Slade School of Art and worked briefly as a set designer for Sadler’s Wells Theatre. In 1944, she served in the Land Army and Women’s Voluntary Service, before being called on to work abroad as a driver. After the war, she resumed easel painting and had her first exhibition at the Mansard Gallery (1947). For a brief time, she was commissioned to paint covers for ‘Woman’ magazine. From the late 1950s, she taught at the Royal College of Art and, in 1992, she was elected to the Royal Academy. Fedden was married to the artist Julian Trevelyan (lots 167 and 168). After his death, she continued to live at Durham Wharf, travelling frequently and painting with fervour until her death in 2012. The simple imagery, stylish compositions and bright colours of Fedden’s paintings have been much-loved by audiences throughout the twentieth century, and recognition of her talent is only increasing over time. Her painting has the effect of making one smile, a quality that she recognised in her own work. One of the joys of Fedden’s painting is its familiarity. She returned frequently to the subject of the still life with different variations on the coffee pot scene, of which lot 169 is a wonderful example.

ANNE REDPATH RSA ARA (1895-1965) Anne Redpath is one of the most well-regarded Scottish painters of the twentieth century. The daughter of a tweed designer, Redpath was born in Galashiels, Scotland. She trained at Edinburgh College of Art and was awarded her degree in 1917. After travelling to Paris, Florence, Siena and later France, she met the architect James Michie, who she married in 1920. They lived in France together and had three sons. During this period, her focus was predominantly on family life, but she did exhibit in 1928 in St Raphael. In 1933, Redpath returned to the Borders, Scotland, and separated from Michie, although the two remained amicable. In the 1940s, Redpath began to travel again, first within Scotland and later around Europe. Redpath was a key figure in a group of painters known as The Edinburgh School. She began to exhibit regularly in Edinburgh as well as the Lefevre Gallery, London. In 1952, Redpath became the first female painter to be made an Academician by the Royal Scottish Academy. In 1960, she became an Associate of the Royal Academy.

ALEXANDER CALDER (AMERICAN, 1898-1976) Considered one of the most famous artists of the 20th century, Alexander Calder’s sculptures and works on paper are held by major art institutions around the world. His fame was assured from the 1930s, when he first showed his mobiles. In 1953, while spending a year in Aix-en-Provence, Calder produced his first series of gouache paintings and continued to work in this medium until his death in 1976. Lot 221, Calder’s ‘Untitled’ watercolour and gouache on paper, was created in 1961. In this bold painting, Calder works with quick, broad brushstrokes to form a vivid image. He cleverly deploys bright colours, not quite touching the yellow and blue together, allowing the white of the paper to become an important part of the composition. ‘I paint with shapes’, Calder once said, and it is the two more thickly painted orange circles that catch our attention and create balance in this piece. Calder liked to return to similar motifs in his works on paper and circles can also be seen in lot 222, a lithograph titled ‘Sun and Moon’. Centred around a red sun - red reportedly being Calder’s favourite colour - the image’s wiry black lines are reminiscent of the coils of Calder’s mobiles.

Can you help Cur wen reach its funding target?

The Curwen Print Study Centre is an educational charity established in the late 1990s to ensure traditional handcrafted printmaking skills are protected for future generations. Artists teach a wide variety of fine art printmaking skills to all ages and all abilities from Introductory to Masterclass level. In addition, schools visit from across the East of England to give students access to a professional print studio and the opportunity to work with practising artists. Curwen has a long history dating back to its formation in Plaistow in 1863 and our founder, Stanley Jones MBE Master Printer, was responsible for establishing Artist Printmaking in the UK in 1958 with many of the great artists of the 20th century.

Curwen has raised £120,000 so far in its bid to move to new premises early next year. This auction, with your support, will take them closer to the minimum goal of £145,000. You can make this possible by bidding for artworks in this sale. All work has been donated by artists who know and love Curwen, having worked in the studio with Stanley Jones Master Printer at some stage of their career.

Paula Rego RA has donated three different prints printed at Curwen (lots 251, 252 and 253); David Gentleman RDI has given four different lithographs in this sale (lots 233 and 234); Norman Ackroyd RA, an ardent supporter of Arts Education, has given two etchings (lots 236 and 237); Anita Klein, a lithograph printed at Curwen (lot 244), and Susan Aldworth, the artist last to print an edition with Stanley at Curwen, has donated two prints (lots 248 and 249); plus many more. The funds raised will support Curwen in its move to larger premises, offering both a teaching studio and an open access studio for established artists, plus a gallery space allowing the display of the Curwen Archive of prints and documents for the first time.

PAULA REGO RA (PORTUGUESE-BRITISH, b.1935) Paula Rego’s work is unsettling and politically-minded. She is known for her reimagining of stories from folklore and literature. The following three lots are inspired by a short story by Martin McDonagh, as well as his play ‘The Pillowman’ (2003), which Rego claimed changed her life. For anyone who has seen ‘The Pillowman’, you will be aware of the dark twists and turns this play takes; set in a totalitarian state, its narrative follows a murder enquiry involving children. While it has moments of astounding violence, deep compassion is also shown between the two central characters. At its crux, the central character, Katarian, is a storyteller. The play returns frequently to his disturbing stories and it is from these ideas that Rego works in lots 251-253. The first lot, ‘Scarecrow’, borrows from the play and Rego’s 2004 triptych of the same name - it reimagines a story from the play in which a girl who believes she is Jesus is crucified by her foster parents. Lots 252 and 253, ‘Turtle Hands’ and ‘Camouflaged Hands’, derive from an unpublished short story in which a boy develops turtles at the end of his arms. The story ends with the boy being consumed by the turtles, which swarm and grow around his corpse. Rego and McDonagh engage with taboo topics, refusing to offer a resolution or a moral justification to comfort their audiences. The two share an artistic affinity, exploring the brutality within society (and hypocrisy that surrounds it) through the medium of stories. Lot 251 *Paula Rego RA (Portuguese-British, b.1935) ‘Scarecrow’ lithograph in colours, 2006, from an edition of 35, signed ‘Paula Rego’ in pencil l.r. sheet 102 x 71cm, unframed £2,500 - 3,500

WILLIAM TILLYER (b.1938) Experimental in his approach to printmaking and painting, William Tillyer has exhibited internationally since the 1950s and his work is collected by major art museums, including Tate, London and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. In these two works, Tillyer revisits a method of painting on mesh that he first trialled in the 1970s. This technique pushes the limits of the application of paint by layering it on to a mesh grid structure. The paint is suspended on the mesh, in some areas thickly layered to become opaque, in other places the holes of the mesh are visible through it. Lot 293 appears to be a still life painting, but the materiality of the paint on mesh combination creates a geometric abstraction that has the effect of darting before one’s eyes. Tillyer wrote of his interest to express ‘the tension between the artificial and the real’, to go as far as possible away from the real-world landscape or object he has seen, without losing it completely.

www.sworder.co.uk

Moustafa’s artistic practice is inspired by his Islamic faith and fascination with Arabic calligraphy. He trained first as a figurative painter at Alexandria University and later studied printmaking in London, before pursuing a PhD that researched the 10th century Abbasid calligrapher Ibn Muqla and the scientific foundation of Arabic letter shapes. After 11 years of study, he revealed the exact geometric grid underlying Muqla’s script. Moustafa has undertaken a number of major international commissions, including ‘Where The Two Oceans Meet’, which was presented by the Queen to Pakistan to mark the nation’s fiftieth anniversary in 1997. Moustafa’s exhibition history is illustrious with works shown at the Royal Academy, the Whitechapel Art Gallery, Ashmolean Museum, Grand Palais and Al ‘Ain University, amongst others. In 1998, the artist exhibited at the Pontifica Universitas Gregoriana, Vatican, which the world media hailed as an huge achievement for Muslim-Christian relations.

ALEXANDER MCKENZIE (AUSTRALIAN, b.1971) Alexander McKenzie was born in 1971 in Sydney, Australia. The son of Scottish migrants, he always wanted to be a painter, and by age eleven had his own purpose-built art studio at home. He formalised his artistic education at the Julian Ashton Art School, during which time he won both a scholarship to the school and the Brereton Memorial Prize for draughtsmanship from the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Since 1996, he has exhibited extensively, with over twenty solo exhibitions in both Australia and the United Kingdom. Although displaying contemporary scenes, his landscapes are influenced by 15th century Dutch Old Masters. His large canvases have an ethereal quality and display McKenzie’s preoccupation with the effects of light and atmosphere.

NOEL GIBSON (1928-2005) Noel Gibson had an enthusiasm for capturing the buildings of the East End of London. Born in Glasgow in 1928, he trained as an opera singer and then became the House Manager at the London Opera Centre on Commercial Road in Stepney. He lived in the area from 1962 until 1974 and would study the local buildings with extreme detail during his evening dog walks. He recreated what he saw in these walks in a series of paintings of Stepney. The urban landscape was undergoing rapid change and he would sometimes go back to an area to check on a colour or a detail and find the whole street had gone. As a self-taught artist, he initially worked in an abstract style, which influenced his later paintings. He wanted to ‘express the spirit of buildings’ rather than just offer us a straightforward cityscape. Their vivid black lines, thick impasto and strong textures created with palette knife create a very distinctive style. A notable aspect of his work is the absence of people in what would have been a highly populated area of the city. This can be seen as giving an impression of a ghost town, but to Gibson the buildings were his inspiration and his focus. Following his death, an exhibition of his work was held at the Tower Hamlets Local History & Archives in 2012 and the Bow Arts’ Nunnery in 2014. Although he enjoyed sell-out shows in his lifetime, very few works by the artist have been sold at auction, and Sworders are pleased to present this artist and his unique snapshot of East End history.

353

Grayson Perry created ‘Alien Baby’ during the filming of the BAFTA nominated series, ‘Rites of Passage’ (2018). In the third episode, Grayson explored ‘Birth’ and filmed the Neonatal Unit at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, speaking with mothers who had given birth to premature babies and to the nurses working with them. Drawing on his experiences in the series, Perry created twelve ‘Alien Babies’ as a way to ritualise and celebrate the NHS, technology and the humanity of the neonatal nurses. These works, each unique and executed in pottery with a metallic gilt glaze, were gifted by the artist to each nurse and to the couples featured in the show. This particular sculpture was given to one of the couples on the show; their twins were born at 29 weeks and spent nearly three months in the Special Care Baby Unit. Meeting with Grayson was a positive experience for the couple, who were grateful to him for allowing them the opportunity to say a proper thank-you to the nurses and staff at Broomfield Hospital who had nurtured their twins through such a difficult period. Inspired by the flickering lights and modern technology of the neonatal ward, Grayson drew on cosmic imagery to create ‘Alien Baby’. The ‘Alien Baby’ itself weighs approximately 2 pounds, the same as the premature babies filmed in this series just after they were born.

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%.

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: 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

From €50,000.01 to €200,000

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

•

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.

148

• • •

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 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 Port auctions when it is 15%. 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 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. 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.

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 safe 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. 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 §.

Estimates of Shipping Costs on our website are based on the low estimate, whilst the actual cost is based on Hammer Price.

Health and safety Although we take reasonable precautions regarding health and safety, you are on our premises at your own risk. Please note the lay-out of the premises and security arrangements. Neither we nor our employees or agents are responsible for the safety of you or your property when you visit our premises, unless you suffer any injury to your person or damage to your property as a result of our employees’ or our agents’ negligence. 11. Warranties 11.1 The Seller warrants to us and to you that: 11.1.1 the Seller is the true owner of the Lot for sale or is authorised by the true owner to offer and sell the Lot at auction; 11.1.2 the Seller is able to transfer good and marketable title to the Lot to you free from any third party rights or claims; and 11.1.3 as far as the Seller is aware, the main characteristics of the Lot set out in the auction catalogue (as amended by any notice displayed in the saleroom or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction) are correct. 11.2 If, after you have placed a successful bid and paid for a Lot, any of the warranties above are found not to be true, please notify us in writing. 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. 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. 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.

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. 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. Deliberate Forgeries 13.1 You may return any Lot which is found to be a Deliberate Forgery to us within thirty days of the auction provided that you return the Lot to us in the same condition as when it was released to you, accompanied by a written statement identifying the Lot from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. 13.2 If we are reasonably satisfied that the Lot is a Deliberate Forgery we will refund the money paid by you for the Lot (including any Premium and applicable VAT) provided that if:

17.2 We act as an agent for our Sellers. The rights we have to claim against you for breach of these Terms of Sale may be used by either us, our employees or agents, or the Seller, its employees or agents, as appropriate. Other than as set out in this Clause, these Terms of Sale are between you and us and no other person will have any rights to enforce any of these Terms of Sale.

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); 14.4.2 fraudulent misrepresentation; or 14.4.3 any liability which cannot be excluded by law. 15.

17.3 We may use special terms in the catalogue descriptions of particular Lots. You must read these terms carefully along with any glossary provided in our auction catalogues. 17.4 Each of the clauses of these Terms of Sale operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect. 17.5 We may change these Terms of Sale from time to time, without notice to you. Please read these Terms of Sale carefully, as they may be different from the last time you read them. 17.6 Except as otherwise stated in these Terms of Sale, each of our rights and remedies are: (a) are in addition to and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies under these Terms of Sale or general law; and (b) may be waived only in writing and specifically. Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale is not a waiver of that or any other right. Partial exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale will not preclude any further or other exercise of that right or any other right under these Terms of Sale. Waiver of a breach of any term of these Terms of Sale will not operate as a waiver of breach of any other term or any subsequent breach of that term. 17.7 These Terms of Sale and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including any noncontractual claims or disputes) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. These terms are based upon the recommended terms of sale by the Society of Fine Art Auctioneers and Valuers
