It is our pleasure to present Waddington’s Fall 2013 auction of International Art. Featuring over 170 works by important artists from 12 countries, we are delighted to showcase a most interesting range of paintings, drawings and sculpture, dating from the 16th to 21st Century. This season’s highlights include the vibrant cover piece by American artist Anne Estelle Rice, “Beach Brittany”, and a hitherto unidentified masterwork “Rowing on the Seine” by 19th Century French artist Ferdinand Heilbuth. Our selection also includes unique modern works by Indian artist Maqbool Fida Husain, Japanese artist Setsuko Migishi, Pakistani artist Abdur Rahman Chughtai and a striking abstract by the celebrated Spanish artist Antoni Clavé, “Nature Morte” (1949). A hallmark of Waddington’s live auction season, our International sale will once again feature previously unseen works from private collectors and estates from across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Pakistan. We are thankful to our many colleagues who have referred our services as leaders in International Art in Canada: our Transitions team at Waddington’s, our eastern branch at Waddington’s Cobourg and our in-house appraisal team, who have uncovered for us many of these treasures. We also extend our gratitude to all of those who have entrusted Waddington’s to represent your valuable artworks.

Concrete Contemporary Auctions and Projects

Decorative Arts

Waddington’s launched its newest division, Concrete Contemporary Auctions and Projects (CCAP) in March 2012 with a vision and mandate to create a secondary market for contemporary Canadian art.

Decorative Arts at Waddington’s encompasses a broad and diverse variety of objects and the department's client database is one of our largest. From ancient to modern, delicate to deadly, Waddington’s Decorative Arts department redefines the term, bringing much more than traditional silverware and porcelain figurines to market, and with remarkable success.

Concrete Contemporary Auctions merges the worlds of traditional auction and the retail gallery, where our relationships with artists, art dealers, curators and collectors result in exciting new sources of contemporary works. The auctions are tightly focused on Canadian contemporary art since 1980 with an emphasis on mid- and latecareer artists with exhibition history in the private and public sphere. An exciting initiative of CCAP is the launch of our Pop-Up Gallery series in 2013. These short-duration, single artist shows offer works by some of Canada’s most accomplished working artists. Led by one of Canada’s most plugged-in art experts, Stephen Ranger, CCAP is committed to exploring new ways to connect, expand and support the arts community.

Waddington’s reputation for developing new markets is well represented by our Decorative Arts department, as is our ability to present large collections – notable recent sales have included Contemporary Studio Glass, Scientific Instruments and Militaria. The department regularly offers auctions which include bronzes, items of Canadian Historical interest, ceramics, devotional works of art, glass, lighting, militaria, mirrors, objets de vertu, porcelain, scientific instruments, travel and exploration maps.

(The Lefevre Galleries), London; Private Collection, England, received as a gift in the 1930’s; By descent to the present Private Collection, Red Deer, Alberta Note: Born in 1877 in Conshohocken near Philadelphia, Anne Estelle Rice studied at the School of Industrial Art of the Pennsylvania Museum and continued her training at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under the direction of renowned American artists Charles Grafly, William Merritt Chase and Thomas Anshutz. She contributed illustrations for Collier’s, Harper’s and the Saturday Evening Post and was commissioned to develop seven historical murals for the Wannamaker store in Philadelphia in 1909. Rice was one of the chief illustrators for the British periodical Rhythm, from 1911-1913. Upon traveling to Europe in 1905, Rice met the Scottish painter John Fergusson who was a mentor and who influenced her subsequent Post Impressionist and Fauvist style, including a vivid and colourful palette, for which she would become known and is represented in the colouring of this work. Her 1910 painting “The Egyptian Dancers” exemplified her use of the Fauvist style; upon its exhibition the American press acclaimed Rice as the leader of a new school of art. From the 1920s, Rice painted still lifes, exhibiting at the Leicester Galleries and the Wildenstein Gallery in England.

11 RICHARD TUTTLE (1941- ), AMERICAN LETTER AND ENVELOPE FROM A COLLECTION OF LETTERS SENT TO A FRIEND Three page pen and ink upper and lower case calligraphic hand printed letter, dated “April 6” including a reference to the death of Martin Luther King Jr., with a hand-made gold paper envelope with masking tape, postmarked “April 1968” (smudged) with ten one cent US stamps depicting Andrew Jackson, the envelope, addressed to “Mrs. Betty Bishop” at “43 Thorncliffe Pk Dr., Toronto”, signed “Tuttle” with his return address: “734 11th Ave./NYC, USA, 1009” on the verso Letter 12.5” x 8.25” — 31.8 x 21 cm.; 4.5” x 9.5” — 11.4 x 24.1 cm. $5,000/7,000

Provenance: Sent to Mrs. Betty Bishop, residing at 43 Thorncliffe Pk. Drive, Apt. 1017, Toronto in April, 1968 from the artist, New York Note: The artist and Betty Bishop corresponded with each other for 20 years beginning in the 1960’s. This and the following lots, lot 12, lot 13 and lot 14 are the embellished handmade envelopes, or in some cases, the embellished commercial envelopes, he sent to his friend, Betty Bishop, in Toronto, in the late 1960’s and 1970’s. It is interesting to note, Betty Bishop’s address changed frequently but Tuttle’s remained primarily the same at 734 11th Avenue, New York. Calligraphy, poetry, language, books and printed matter were primary influences and subjects of Tuttle’s work since the beginning of his career in the 1960’s. He calls his three- dimensional works “drawings” rather than sculpture and emphasized the small scale rather than the conventional large scale of Modern sculptural practice. Instead of steel, marble and bronze, Tuttle created small playful objects in materials such as paper, rope, string, cloth, wire, cardboard, nails and styrofoam. A similar work by Tuttle, utilizing letters of the alphabet, is the subject of “Letters (The Twenty-Six Series)”, currently held in the collection of MOMA (273.2002.a-z). This small galvanized sculpture was executed in 26 parts, each part a letter of the alphabet, measuring 6” x 9” x 5/8”, dates from the same early period, 1966, as this lot. In another example, Tuttle drew his name “Richard Tuttle” in pen and ink and with hand lettering printed: “Not having an idea for a drawing, I made a drawing of my name”.

White studied at the St. John’s Wood Art School becoming good friends with advanced painters such as Mark Gertler and C.R.W. Nevinson. He also created wood illustrations for novels and booklets, including The Story of My Heartby Richard Jeffries in 1923, considered to be the first substantial book illustrated with modern wood engravings published in Britain.

Provenance: Collection of the sitter; Ballyduff House, Ireland (pictured below) The Estate of Peter Richard Connellan Solly-Flood until 1990 when the family portraits, lots 73 to lot 80 inclusive in this sale, were shipped to Montreal, Canada; By descent to the present Private Collection, Montreal, Canada

was educated at Kilkenny College and the University of Dublin, taking his degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1714. He entered Middle Temple in 1716 and was called to the Irish Bar in 1720. He was appointed Solicitor-General for Ireland in 1741, AttorneyGeneral for Ireland in 1751, and in 1760 was appointed Chief Justice of the King’s Bench. He acted as a judge of assize and was briefly Speaker of the Irish House of Lords. He became the Member of Parliament (MP) for Callan in 1727. He had a house at Cuffe Street in Dublin and at Farmley in Kilkenny. He married Miss Isabella Whiteside and dying in 1764, was survived by his son: The Right Honourable Henry Flood of Farmley in the county of Kilkenny. Warden Flood was considered a very distinguished lawyer in his time but he is mainly remembered as the natural father of the statesman Henry Flood.

Note to the provenance: Lieutenant Colonel Peter Richard Connellan Solly-Flood O.B.E worked as aide-de-camp/secretary to Churchill on his post WW2 tour of the United States in 1946.He helped co-write many of his speeches as Churchill supposedly suffered from a mild form of dyslexia. He was awarded the Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empirein 1946. Note: The sitter, Warden Flood of Flood Hall, in the County of Kilkenny (1694-1764), was the father of The Right Honourable Henry Flood (1732-1791), who became an important member of the Irish House of Commons. The Right Honourable Warden Flood was born at Burnchurch in County Kilkenny, son of Frances Flood and Anne Warden. He

For the importance of Warden Flood’s son, The Right Honourable Henry Flood (1732-91) see James Kelly, Henry Flood Patriots and Politics in Eighteenth-Century Ireland (Univ.f of Notre Dame Pr August 1998). Prior to James Kelly’s book, there was scant Flood family history. Drawing on public and private documents, Kelly’s biography contextualizes the importance of the family within their home county of Kilkenny, as well as in relation to Irish opposition politics and the politics of empire before the French Revolution. The following Flood family portraits are thus exceedingly rare and help fill the void of historic information about this important Irish family. Waddington’s is pleased to offer the following collection of seven 18th Century Flood family portraits, lots 73 to 80 in this sale, that were formerly held with the Flood family at Ballyduff House, Ireland.

Note: The artist executed two versions of Rowing on the Seine: this large oil on canvas (with three additional swans depicted in the left distance) and a smaller oil (13 3/4” x 22”) executed on panel, dated circa 1860-1880. The small panel, depicting only the lead swan at the right, is in the collection of the Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, Russia. The small panel version is reproduced in the public domain: http://www.arthermitage.org/Ferdinand-Heilbuth/Rowing-onthe-Seine.html In addition, Heilbuth executed a small watercolour and pencil preliminary sketch for this work entitled: Ladies Boating on a Lake, measuring 4.6 in. x 7.1 in. sold at Christie’s South Kensington on November 29, 2001 [Lot 00219]

Ferdinand Heilbuth was born to a Rabbi in Hamburg, Germany on June 27, 1826 and died in Paris on November 19, 1889. He studied in Dusseldorf, Rome and in Paris. He left his schooling to become a Rabbi and traveled to Rome, Munich, Antwerp and Paris. From 1843-1846 he studied under Hippolyte Delaroche and Charles Gleyre. He also studied under Edouard Manet in the 1870’s. Heilbuth became a French citizen in 1876. It was during this period in the 1870s that the artist shifted his focus away from the Italian themes that he had previously painted and began to create more modern Parisian subjects. His earlier work included elaborate history pieces, which primarily consisted of scenes with Roman cardinals and his later work included a number of outdoor Parisian genre subjects such as this fine canvas. After 1852, Heilbuth regularly submitted at the Paris Salon, the Royal Academy, Grosvenor Gallery and the Boston Atheneum (1863). He was voted and decorated into the Legion of Honor and was later promoted to officer in 1881. Ferdinand Heilbuth sold many of his paintings and was a highly recognized and decorated artist of his time. In addition to his success on the continent, Heilbuth also exhibited in London: twice at the Royal Academy and a total of seventeen times at the Grosvenor Gallery, London (1871-1878). $15,000/25,000

While the auctioneer has endeavoured not to mislead in the description issued, and the utmost care is taken to ensure the correct cataloguing of each item, such descriptions are purely statements of opinion and are not intended to constitute a representation to the prospective purchasers and no warranty of the correctness of such description is made. An opportunity for inspection of each article is offered prior to the time of sale. No sale will be set aside on account of lack of correspondence of the article with its description or its reproduction, if any, whether colour or black & white. Some lots are of an age and/or nature which preclude their being in pristine condition and some catalogue descriptions make reference to damage and/or restoration. The lack of such a reference does not imply that a lot is free from defects nor does any reference to certain defects imply the absence of others. Frames on artwork are not included as part of purchase or condition. It is the responsibility of prospective purchasers to inspect or have inspected each lot upon which they wish to bid, relying upon their own advisers, and to bid accordingly. 2. Each lot sold is subject to a premium of 20% of the successful bid price of each lot up to and including $50,000 and 15% on any amount in excess of $50,000 as part of the purchase price. 3. Unless exempted by law, the buyer is required to pay Harmonized Sales Tax on the total purchase price including the buyer’s premium. For international buyers, taxes are not applicable when purchases are shipped out of country. Items shipped out of Ontario, the buyer is required to pay taxes as per the tax status of that province, whether it HST or GST (Goods and Services Tax).

4. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot from sale at any time, to divide any lot or to combine any two or more lots at his sole discretion, all without notice. 5. The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid and to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion. The auctioneer reserves the right not to accept and not to reject any bid. Without limitation, any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance over the previous bid may not be recognized. 6. Each lot may be subject to an unpublished reserve which may be changed at any time by agreement between the auctioneer and the consignor. The auctioneer may bid, or direct an employee to bid, on behalf of the consignor as agreed between them. In addition, the auctioneer may accept and submit absentee and telephone bids, to be executed by an employee of the auctioneer, pursuant to the instructions of prospective purchasers not in attendance at the sale. 7. The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer for any lot shall be the buyer and such buyer shall forthwith assume full risk and responsibility for the lot and must comply with such other Conditions of Sale as may be applicable. If any dispute should arise between bidders the auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to designate the buyer or, at his option, to withdraw any disputed lot from the sale, or to re-offer it at the same or a subsequent sale. The auctioneer’s decision in all cases shall be final. 8. Immediately after the purchase of a lot, the buyer shall pay or undertake to the satisfaction of the auctioneer with respect to payment of the whole or any part of the purchase price requested by the auctioneer, failing which the auctioneer in his sole discretion may cancel the

sale, with or without re-offering the item for sale. 9. The buyer shall pay for all lots within 48 hours from the date of the sale, after which a late charge of 2% per month on the total invoice may be incurred or the auctioneer, in his sole discretion, may cancel the sale. The buyer shall not become the owner of the lot until paid for in full. Items must be removed within 10 days from the date of sale , after which storage charges may be incurred. 10. Each lot purchased, unless the sale is cancelled as above, shall be held by the auctioneer at his premises or at a public warehouse at the sole risk of the buyer until fully paid for and taken away. 11. Notwithstanding condition no. 1, if the buyer, prior to removal of a lot, makes arrangements satisfactory to the auctioneer for the inspection of such lot by a fully qualified person acceptable to the auctioneer to determine the genuineness or authenticity of the lot, to be carried out promptly following the sale of the lot, and if, but only if, within a period of 14 days following the sale a written opinion of such person is presented to the auctioneer to the effect that the lot is not genuine or authentic, accompanied by a written request by the buyer for rescission of the sale, then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the sale price refunded to the buyer. 12. Payment for purchases must be by cash, INTERAC direct debit (Cdn clients in person only), certified cheque (U.S. & Overseas not applicable), travelers cheque, bank draft, electronic transfer (fee applies), and VISA or Mastercard (up to $25,000). As Waddington's requires written authorization for all credit card purchases, credit cards must be presented in person by the cardholder and therefore cannot be accepted over the telephone. However, fax authorization arrangements can be made.

13. In the event of failure to pay for or remove articles within the aforementioned time limit, the auctioneer, without limitation of the rights of the consignor and the auctioneer against the buyer, may resell any of the articles affected, and in such case the original buyer shall be responsible to the auctioneer and the consignor for: (a) any deficiency in price between the re-sale amount and the amount to have been paid by the original buyer; (b) any reasonable charge by the auctioneer for the storage of such articles until payment and removal by the subsequent buyer; and (c) the amount of commission which the auctioneer would have earned had payment been made in full by the original buyer. 14. It is the responsibility of the buyer to make all arrangements for insuring, packing and removing the property purchased and any assistance by the auctioneer or his servants, agents or contractors, in packing or removal shall be rendered as a courtesy and without any liability to them. 15. The auctioneer acts solely as agent for the consignor and makes no representation as to any attribute of, title to, or restriction affecting the articles consigned for sale. Without limitation, the buyer understands that any item bought may be affected by the provisions of the Cultural Property Export Act (Canada). 16. The auctioneer reserves the right to refuse admission to the sale or to refuse to recognize any or all bids from any particular person or persons at any auction.
