λ&nbspENZO PLAZZOTTA (ITALIAN 1921-1981) ICARUS Bronze Signed and numbered 3/6 Width: 102cm (40in.) Provenance: Obelisk Gallery, London Literature: Carol Plazotta and Richard O'Conor, Enzo Plazotta, A Catalogue Raisonné, London, 1986, p. 161, no. 309 (Similar cast from same series)Italian-born sculptor Enzo Plazzotta Studied in Milan at the Accademia di Brera under Francesco Messina, until the outbreak of the second World War, when he enrolled in the army. He was sent to North Africa until Mussolini's fall, and subsequently founded a partisan movement, which led to his imprisonment. Released from the prison after the war, Plazzotta returned to Brera to complete his studies. In 1957 he travelled to England to present a statuette, before deciding to establish his artistic profile in London, directing his attention towards setting up a commercial art agency. At the age of forty, Plazzotta turned his attention back to sculpting, working mainly in bronze to create sculptures of dynamic human and animal figures, with a specific interest in dancers and horses. Despite many of his sculptures being situated on the streets of London, he maintained close links to his home-country, casting much of his work at his studio in the quarries of Pietrasanta. In 1976, Plazzotta was honoured the title of Cavaliere from the Italian government, acknowledging his services to Italian art. By 1981, Plazzotta's health was diminishing due to cancer, and he passed away within the same year. Plazzotta's work has been widely exhibited globally in Europe, the United States and Australia, and features in several public and private collections including the Vatican, Rome, The Hermitage, Lausanne and The Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane.

Suppressed literature.- James (Norah C.) Sleeveless Errand, first edition, endpapers lightly spotted, original cloth, 8vo, 1929.*** Like Radclyffe Hall’s The Well of Loneliness, Sleeveless Errand fell foul of the Obscene Publications Act 1857, and was effectively suppressed 2 days before publication with the police seizing all copies from the publisher, Eric Partridge. Following the seizure and destruction of this 500 copy run of the London edition, primarily for its cursing by a female author ("bloody hell", "buggery"), Jack Kahane acted quickly to reissue the book in Paris the same year. Kahane would go on to set up the Obelisk Press. Fortunately, Norah James was not deterred by the ‘moral righteousness and official Pecksniffery’ of the British Home Office (in Garnett’s words) and went on to author over 60 books. Known as Jimmy to her friends, in later life Jones lived with her partner Barbara Beauchamp.
