He began his career as a lecturer at the French department of the University of Manitoba, Canada, subsequently moving to Warwick University and finally to the University of Kent at Canterbury, where he taught for fifty years and held a professorship.Roger Cardinal was not only a leading authority on Outsider Art, but also on Surrealism. He was a prolific writer and a master of literary style. His eloquent, percipient writings include several books on a wide range of subjects such as Outsider Art (1972), German Romantics in Context (1975) Figures of Reality (1981), Expressionism (1984), The Landscape Vision of Paul Nash (1989), The Cultures of Collecting (1994), and Kurt Schwitters (2011). He also acted as a curator and was a regular contributor to art-historical publications.Cardinal’s interest in art lay in its margins - the neurodiverse, psychotic, uneducated, autistic, self-taught and ‘other’. His fascination with artists such as the violently psychotic Adolf Wölfli lay in their creativity rather than in the sensationalism of their lives. Certainly, it did not lie in the resale value of their work. That outsider art should have its own multimillion-dollar annual fair in New York and specialist departments at Christie’s auctioneers ran quite contrary to Cardinal’s thinking.Much of Roger Cardinal’s library has recently been donated to the Tate Gallery including the handwritten diaries that he kept his whole life. Cardinal often used books as working tools, heavily annotating in the margins - as with many volumes in the current sale. The library offered reflects Cardinal’s varied interests and fluent command of French and German. Alongside a large collection of art reference works in his specialist subjects, we also find collections of books on fairy tales and science fiction.

* CHARLES OAKLEY (BRITISH 1925 - 2008), MOONLIGHT RENDEZVOUS oil on board, titled label verso framed image size 49cm x 95cm, overall size 65cm x 110cm Partial artist's label verso. Note: Obituary published in The Independent by Prof Kenneth McConkey 8 April 2008: Charles Oakley was one of an important generation of British painters who, in the late Forties, arrived at the Slade School of Fine Art wearing "demob" suits. He had neither portfolio nor sketchbooks to show, but a single watercolour, depicting a momentous occasion in his youth. Oakley grew up in Urmston, Manchester, the son of an engineer; two previous generations of Oakleys had been naval captains. Family holidays spent in Falmouth provided an ideal playground for the young Charles – rusting old U-boats from the Great War were berthed in the harbour. Then, in the early years of the Second World War, while youth hostelling in the Lake District, he came upon the crash site of two Hurricane fighters. A dead pilot lay by the wreckage of one of the planes. The scene burned itself into his mind and was only exorcised when he sketched it out on paper and coloured it. This single work became a talisman and after his three years' military service with the Royal Artillery in the Himalayas, it was this that he took to his successful Slade interview with Randolph Schwabe in 1947. His tutors, William Townsend and William Coldstream, being well-connected, brought artists and critics such as Francis Bacon, Wyndham Lewis and David Sylvester into the Slade to look at students' work. Oakley's diligent studies in the Antique Room won him the Taylor and Melvill Nettleship awards, as well as the Wilson Steer medal for Northern Landscape, a "summer composition" painting of coal trucks in a railway yard produced in 1950. He remained at the Slade for a postgraduate year and in 1951 married Ann, his life-long partner. In those days, the path from the Slade and the Royal College to the New English Art Club was still in use and Oakley showed industrial scenes at two of its exhibitions before moving north to become an art master at Eden School in Carlisle. A splendid watercolour of the old city bus station remains a popular reproduction sold by Tullie House museum in Carlisle. In 1957 his first solo exhibition was held at the Crane Kalman Gallery, Manchester, and was opened by L.S. Lowry. Oakley recalled Lowry's enthusiasm when he purchased a picture from the show. At this stage, living on a fabric designer's salary, and with a growing family, the Oakleys could not reciprocate – much to their chagrin in later years. Thereafter he showed regularly in Manchester exhibitions, being praised for his "poetry in paint". In 1962 he obtained the post of Senior Lecturer at Belfast College of Art, and it was after this that true poetry arrived, with paintings of ships' engine rooms at Harland and Wolff, recalling the submarines of childhood – one of which was acquired for the Ulster Museum, Belfast. In shows at the Caldwell Gallery in Bradbury Place, Belfast, these intense, claustrophobic interiors were juxtaposed with the wide expanses of Donegal where the Oakley family had a summer cottage. Oakley rhapsodised on the windswept beaches where occasionally he would come across the rotting remains of old fishing boats. When these paintings were exhibited in 1965 at the Bondgate Gallery, Alnwick, along with works by Lord Haig and J.H. Themal, Oakley, according to The Guardian, "stole the show". A few years later, as Seamus Heaney and Michael Longley were emerging as the poetic voices of Ulster, the critic William Feaver praised the "mortuary effect" of the painter's "leaky skies" and "peat trenches". Oakley might easily have been typecast as an Irish landscapist of a conventional kind. However, hints of Edward Hopper and "magic realism" had begun to creep into his painting and around the time of his return to England in 1974, he became interested in working in three dimensions – "dabbling in construction work" and experimenting with trompe l'oeil was how it was described. Repeated visits to the Dutch museums instilled a respect for the measured space of Vermeer, Terborch and Metsu, and took him back to his Slade School exercises in mathematical perspective. In 1982, on a student trip, he visited the massive 360-degree Mesdag Panorama in The Hague which was re-examined in a series of works – as indeed were the methodical approaches of painters such as Thomas Eakins and George Stubbs whose deep visual research led to periods of physical and spiritual isolation. These and the Dutch masters became his new subject matter in what were described as "works with romantic and historical associations", in the first of three exhibitions staged at Pyms Gallery, London in 1984 – perhaps the most fruitful collaboration of Oakley's career since it led to touring shows, in galleries in Hull, York, Kendal and Belfast. What we see in The Eakins Studio (1986), for instance, is a box/vitrine, similar to a stage designer's model. The life room impedimenta, sculpture stands and a "donkey", are recreated in miniature – tiny hand-crafted objects in which experience is locked. And on the back wall are pinned the famous studies of male and female nudes which contain them. Oakley's own experiences had come back to haunt him. A connection between these austere academic rituals and lost heroes such as Scott and Oates of the Antarctic, or Mallory and Irvine on Everest, fused in his mind and led him to produce the evocative Antarctic Triptych (1984) and the Quarter Rupee Triptych (1986) in which the intrepid teams of explorers and mountaineers pose for famous photographs. In the former the image is pinned to the remnants of one of their packing cases, along with other memorabilia, including a postcard of Caspar David Friedrich's The Wreck of the 'Hoffnung', inspired by an attempt on the North Pole in 1823. Embedded in the foreground fragments of cracked ice are remnants of a Union Jack. By the early Nineties, other themes, equally austere, suggested themselves. The discovery of a monument to Roger Casement, the death of Richthoven and new interpretations of Balthus, Winslow Homer and Magritte were added to the repertoire in these later years when two further solo shows were staged at Castleside Gallery, Cockermouth, in 1996 and 2000. In 1999 he won the Singer Friedlander/Sunday Times watercolour prize with The Thomas Eakins Gallery. In a genial, self-deprecating way, Charles Oakley used to claim that he was having fun and that these "tableaux" were just a way of filling time. But it was much more than that. Serious research would take him off to find the Mallory ice axe at the Alpine Club, or in 1996, back to Rajasthan. And with collectors waiting for paintings that might take months of detailed work to complete, he carried on until his late seventies when his eyes began to fail. Thereafter, he still spent his mornings in the studio, listening to Radio 3 and reading, surrounded by the work of a lifetime. Note: Kenneth McConkey is Emeritus Professor of Art History at the University of Northumbria. He is an expert on British, Irish and French painting of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, especially Sir John Lavery, British Impressionism and the New English Art Club, and has published extensively on the art of the period, including on George Clausen.

In 1935 he arrived in New York and launched himself into the city’s growing art scene as the manager of Hugo Gallery on East 55th Street. Founded by Elizabeth Arden alongside Robert Rothschild, the gallery gained a reputation for Surrealist art after Iolas staged a pivotal exhibition of new work by Max Ernst, Dorothea Tanning and René Magritte in 1947.Five years later Iolas mounted the landmark show of the yet undiscovered artist Andy Warhol, staging his artistic debut Fifteen Drawings Based on the Writings of Truman Capote in 1952 and propelling the young American artist to stardom. Iolas and Warhol subsequently worked extensively together, with Iolas credited for commissioning one of Warhol’s final print epics Last Supper of 1986. Iolas also introduced the work of Ed Ruscha to the gallery, shepherding both his reputation and his market. In 1955, in partnership with Brooks Jackson, Iolas established his own independent gallery franchise across Paris, Milan, Rome, Geneva, Madrid and Athens.Famous for his bombastic claims and often amusing opinions (once dismissing Balthus and Cy Twombly as terrible painters in the same breath), Iolas’ professional achievements are often interchangeable with extraordinary stories of a legend formed in part of his own making. His eye was informed by intuition rather than institution, his theatrical nature inextricably linked to his professional undertakings. Speaking to art historian Maurice Rheims in 1965, Iolas stated: 'I don’t consider a gallery as a commercial occupation. It’s purely artistic… it’s a show in which the audience members are the dancers, and the scenery is made by the painter.

The present lot together with lots 48-52 executed between 1968-1970 depict Saint Phalle's idiosyncratic style characterised by vibrant colours and a youthful spirit, works that have been included in what has been called 'outsider art' as she did not receive an academic training. The works portray numerous characters with quotations and annotations that shed insight into the artist's deeply personal state of mind as she navigates heartbreak and reproductive health. The works later informed Saint Phalle's illustrated book AIDS: You Can’t Catch It Holding Hands of 1986, an important work that delivers life-saving healthcare information about the transmission of HIV through colourful cartoons in an attempt to destigmatise the disease. Saint Phalle was a self-taught avant-gardist, one of the late twentieth century’s great creative personalities, with traits that once clouded and now halo her importance. First dominated by feminist rage, the artist’s creative direction eventually moved away from an epoch of destruction to a period typified by the celebration of womanhood through sculptures of female bodies, often immense, in fibreglass and polyester resin. Her work reached its zenith in such monumental outdoor projects such as Dragon for the son of Roger Nellens, at Knokke-le-Zoute created in the early 1970s in collaboration with her long term creative and romantic partner Jean Tinguely (1925-1991), and The Tarot Garden, a sculpture garden in Pescia Fiorentina, Tuscany featuring twenty-two monumental figures inspired by Guadi's Parc Güell in Barcelona, that opened in 1998.

In 1935 he arrived in New York and launched himself into the city’s growing art scene as the manager of Hugo Gallery on East 55th Street. Founded by Elizabeth Arden alongside Robert Rothschild, the gallery gained a reputation for Surrealist art after Iolas staged a pivotal exhibition of new work by Max Ernst, Dorothea Tanning and René Magritte in 1947.Five years later Iolas mounted the landmark show of the yet undiscovered artist Andy Warhol, staging his artistic debut Fifteen Drawings Based on the Writings of Truman Capote in 1952 and propelling the young American artist to stardom. Iolas and Warhol subsequently worked extensively together, with Iolas credited for commissioning one of Warhol’s final print epics Last Supper of 1986. Iolas also introduced the work of Ed Ruscha to the gallery, shepherding both his reputation and his market. In 1955, in partnership with Brooks Jackson, Iolas established his own independent gallery franchise across Paris, Milan, Rome, Geneva, Madrid and Athens.Famous for his bombastic claims and often amusing opinions (once dismissing Balthus and Cy Twombly as terrible painters in the same breath), Iolas’ professional achievements are often interchangeable with extraordinary stories of a legend formed in part of his own making. His eye was informed by intuition rather than institution, his theatrical nature inextricably linked to his professional undertakings. Speaking to art historian Maurice Rheims in 1965, Iolas stated: 'I don’t consider a gallery as a commercial occupation. It’s purely artistic… it’s a show in which the audience members are the dancers, and the scenery is made by the painter.

Copleys poppig-surreale Welt der Dinge Zu Beginn der 1970er Jahren konzentriert sich William N. Copleys Schaffen auf die Darstellung von Objekten. In seinem charakteristischen Malstil entwickelt er eine poppig-surreale Welt der Dinge, die sich in einer Art Crossover aus erzählerischem Stillleben und überbordender Ornamentik auf die alltäglichen Gegenstände unseres Lebens fokussiert und sich dabei an Stilmitteln der Pop-Art und des Surrealismus bedient. Kleine Objekte wie Pfeifen, Werkzeuge oder Küchenutensilien, aber auch große Gegenstände wie Möbelstücke, Glocken oder einen Kinderwagen isoliert er aus ihrem täglichen Umfeld und setzt sie in starker Nahansicht mit den typisch schwarzen Umrisslinien der Pop-Art vor bunten Farbflächen plakativ in Szene. Durch die Isolierung und flächige Darstellung, die unter anderem von Surrealisten wie René Magritte bekannt ist, umgibt die Objekte dabei zumeist eine eigenartige Aura der Stille. Und doch ist der Mensch auf gewisse Weise anwesend. Die ursprüngliche Nutzung der Objekte bleibt vor dem inneren Auge sichtbar. Das Läuten der Glocken, das Klappern von Glas und Geschirr, die Schläge eines Hammers, das Kindergeschrei im Kinderwagen: Copleys Objekte bilden gewissermaßen die Kulisse für Assoziationen, Erinnerungen, und Fantasien, oder wie es Siegfried Gohr beschreibt: 'Was zuerst als naiv erscheint, erweist sich als die Strategie einer kraftvollen Evokation von Dingen.' (Siegfried Gohr, Copley und die Lust an den Dingen, in: Galerie Fred Jahn, William N. Copley. Nouns, München 1999, S. 7). Ganz ähnlich verhält es sich auch mit Copleys Werk 'Baby Carriage' von 1972, das im Geburtsjahr seiner Tochter Theodora entsteht. Vor knallig pinkem Hintergrund inszeniert er den Kinderwagen als eine Art Thron, verziert mit überbordendem, barock anmutendem Dekor, ausgestattet mit weichen Kissen und einem rosa Sonnenschirm. Die Arbeit wirkt dabei ungemein verspielt und mit ironischen Elementen behaftet, die neugierig machen auf die leisen Zwiegespräche in Copleys niemals unschuldiger Welt der Dinge. Als Vorlage für seine Stillleben aus der 'Nouns'- und 'Mail Order'-Werkgruppe verwendet er vielfach Abbildungen aus den Versandkatalogen der amerikanischen Kaufhauskette 'Sears, Roebuck & Co.' aus der Zeit um 1900, wobei er den heute altmodisch wirkenden Objekten gewissermaßen neues Leben einhaucht. Das malerische Werk des amerikanischen Künstlers ist dabei stets im Surrealismus verwurzelt. Copley gilt jedoch ebenso als Vorläufer der Pop-Art. In kaum einer anderen Werkgruppe kommt dies so deutlich zum Ausdruck wie in seinen Objektinszenierungen, mit denen er einen gekonnten Balanceakt vollführt und zwei grundverschiedene Kunstrichtungen wie selbstverständlich miteinander vereint, ohne sich dem einen oder dem anderen Stil dabei komplett zu verschreiben.

Having emigrated to Chicago with his family at the age of two and later finding huge success as a property developer, he always attributed his passion for art to visits to the Art Institute of Chicago growing up. He would in fact later go on to donate some 600 prints and drawings to the Institute's permanent collection. The present work can be seen today on the Institute's website amongst the gallery images of Shapiro's personal collection exhibition in 1985.Not just a prominent collector and philanthropist, Shapiro was also the founding president of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago (1967-1974), an active trustee at the Art Institute of Chicago and was even considered the dean of a group of idiosyncratic and dedicated Chicago art collectors whose holdings rivalled New York's in quality and focus. This fantastic collection was known for its superb Surrealist material, including major works by Max Ernst, Man Ray, Paul Delvaux, Victor Brauner, Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Joan Míro and Yves Tanguy, amongst others. As such, it comes as no surprise that the Shapiros' donations to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, The Art Institute of Chicago, the Spertus Museum of Judaica, Rosary College and the University of Notre Dame, were accepted with open arms.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
