Comment(s): Warhol had a joint exhibition with the German-born photographer Hans Namuth (1915-1990) at New York’s Castelli Gallery from January 9th to the 30th, 1982. Namuth specialized in portraits and is most famous for his photographs of Jackson Pollock creating his iconic drip paintings. This portrait of Warhol is part of Namuth’s project to photograph the artists represented by Castelli. It shows Warhol standing in front of Rubens’s painting ‘Reconciliation of the Queen and her Son’, which was part of his Marie de Medici Cycle. Rubens was famous for painting the celebrities of his day, providing them with an image to bolster their power. Warhol did the same with his pop portraits; indeed Robert Rosenblum described him as “an ideal court painter”. Rubens also employed a large studio of assistants which is paralleled in Warhol’s ‘Factory.’ An impression of this work is included in the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland, accession no. AR00437. Image copyright © The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / DACS, London; and image copyright © Estate of Hans Namuth. [29234-5-800-NA]
Man Ray (American, 1890-1976), Natural Painting, signed l.r., circa 1960, acrylic/masonite, 'Panneau Van Eyck 4F' label verso, 31 by 22cm, red painted frameProvenance: gifted by the artist to the current vendor's grandmother, Jacqueline Goddard, nee Barsotti (1911-2003) the free-spirited model to Man Ray.Note: Andrew Strauss and Timothy Baum of the Man Ray Expertise Committee have confirmed the authenticity of this work under reference 00448-P-2024 and that this work will be included in the Catalogue of Paintings of Man Ray, currently in preparation. Lot Essay: The surrealist protagonist Man Ray began a new series of experimental paintings, from the 1950s, which involved squeezing paint directly from the tube onto the visual surface, in a random manner, similar in this first instance to his contemporaries in New York such as Jackson Pollock. However, after the application of the paint, another board surface would be applied and removed to create a stippled effect. The paintings known as his Natural Paintings, followed the surrealist principles of painting without the constraints of calculation or self consciousness, differing from the paintings of Oscar Dominguez in 1936 and Max Ernst in the 1940s, which used the same technique, but in a calculated and representative manner. In his autobiography Man Ray expressed: “By spreading the colors according to the impulse of the moment, I abandoned brushes and palette knives, and applied pressure with other surfaces, withdrawing them to produce a variation of the Rorschach test. The results were astonishing, with details that could have been obtained only through long and meticulous labor by hand.” He continued to experiment with these paintings right through to 1971 and the works often appear in brightly painted frames such as this one.
William Scott CBE RA (1913 - 1989) Still Life, 1957 Gouache on paper, 51 x 74cm Signed lower rightProvenance: Purchased directly by Miss Deborah Brown from the Hanover Gallery on 2 March 1959Exhibited Belfast 'William Scott', Ulster Museum in 1963 catalogue no.63; Banbridge, 'William Scott', F.E.Mc William Gallery, in 2009 catalogue no.12Throughout the 1950s, Deborah Brown’s work became increasingly abstracted, partly due to the experience of painting stage sets and designs for Mary O’Malley at the Lyric Theatre, until in 1958 she began to make her first gestural non-representational paintings, in which her interest in musical structure and effect were influential. Although keenly engaged with American and European contemporaries, such as Pollock, Rothko and de Staël, she quickly began to explore three-dimensionality, breaking through the canvas surface and adding everyday materials in a manner that foreshadowed the emergence of the Arte Povera movement later in the decade. From the mid-1960s, Brown used fibreglass in a sculptural manner on canvas or board and eventually began to make independent three-dimensional fibreglass works.
Great Britain Queen Elizabeth II 1990 never issued Thomas Hardy 20p & 37p proofs (WT 344E, 7.12.89), in Harrison & Sons Limited folder. These stamps were issued for 150th Birth Anniversary of Thomas Hardy 10th July 1990. Designed by Ian Pollock, these stamps were not approved by The Queen and cancelled at the last moment. Pollock had also taken too long to complete the assignment and the deadline passed, instead a design by John Gibbs was adopted.

Jane Austen's family friends.- European Travel Journal.- Herries (I[sabella] A[nn], daughter of John Charles Herries, politician, Chancellor of the Exchequer, 1778-1855) [Journal of a tour to France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy], vol. I only, autograph manuscript, 190pp., slightly browned, 5 small engravings loosely inserted, original half morocco, gilt spine, 200 x 162mm., 1836. *** "Baden. When we came out of the theatre Mr. Meysenberg met us and made us look at the old Castle, which we should never have done without him, which was brilliantly illuminated. It looked like a mass of fire on the top of the beautiful mountain. Some French men had asked leave of the Grand Duke to have it for this night the 28th July to commemorate in it the glorious days. The droll thing was that one of the Bonaparte Princes was asked to join the party [Napoleon III]." - I.A. Herries. A fine detailed travel journal by an observant 18 year old girl on a long continental tour. Isabella and her party is accompanied to France initially by her father John Charles Herries on the steamer "Wellington". The party consists of Edward, Isabelle (her aunt), Juliet (Creed), Charles and Betsy, the latter probably a servant. Much of the journal is taken up with sightseeing and socialising with lots of invitations to parties and balls, including dancing with Captain Hay, in the service of the duke of Cambridge. The party travels from Boulogne to Paris, Baden, Offenberg, Lucerne, St Gothard, Genoa, Milan, Como, Brescia, Verona, Padua, Venice, Mantua, Parma, Bologna, Florence and Rome where this volume ends. Jane Austen connection. Jane Austen and her brother Henry had strong connections with the Herries family. In 1814 Henry Austen had a residence in Hans Place, Chelsea, and the Herries family were located at Cadogan Place, Sloane Street and hence Henry knew them and introduced Jane Austen. "Henry came home on Sunday & we dined the same day with the Herrieses - a large family party - clever & accomplished." - Jane Austen. Letters, pp. 291, 301. Juliet Creed was the daughter of Rev Henry Creed, vicar of Corse, Gloucestershire and Catherine Herries, sister of John Charles Herries. Catherine Creed and Jane Austen were good friends, enough for Austen to note her opinions of her novels, "Mrs . Creed — preferred S & S. and P & P. – to Mansfield Park." Catherine Creed's daughter, Juliet (1819-99), novelist, cited in this journal, married Sir William Frederick Pollock (1815-88), lawyer and author; their son Walter Herries Pollock (1850-1926), author and journalist; later lived at Chawton Lodge; author of Jane Austen: Her Contemporaries and Herself (1899).

1998 Jaguar XK8 Registration Number: S95 LRW Chassis Number: SAJJGAED3AR029814 Recorded Mileage: 90,128 miles Jaguar's new XK8 made its debut at the Geneva Salon in 1996. Code name X100, the model was designed by the late Geoff Lawson and styled by Fergus Pollock as the replacement for the XJ-S, which by then had been in production for 21 years. The beautiful styling referenced the original Jaguar E-type with long bonnet and graceful lines. The model range was further developed with a high-performance supercharged Jaguar XKR version, and later updated with an enlarged 4.2-litre engine. On offer today is a beautiful earlier model, finished in Topaz Metallic with complementing Cashmere leather. An extremely nice example inside and out, the leather interior is in very good order, as are rhe roof lining, carpets and wood veneers. The paintwork presents very well, whilst the colour-coded BBS split-rim wheels are unmarked and clad in premium branded tyres. The Jaguar is offered with a comprehensive service history which includes a service book containing 15 stamps, the last service being at 89,846 miles on 12th February 2024. The XK is offered complete with full book pack, hand books, service book, two sets of keys and fobs, valid MoT certificate until May 2025, a number of receipts, and a premium quality tailored car cover. Having previously been fitted with a stainless steel exhaust system, this cat produces a magnificent growl to match its looks. In our opinion excellent value for a car of this quality.

George Morrison (Ojibwe, 1919-2000). Woodcut on paper depicting an intricate pattern of contrasting woodgrains in gold metallic ink, 1976-78. Pencil signed and dated along the lower right; numbered 14/79 along the lower left; Vermillion Editions Limited blindstamp along the lower left.Provenance: Private Minnesota Collection.Lot Essay:Regarded as the founding figure of Native American modernism and among the top American abstract expressionist painters is George Morrison. Also highly regarded as a master collage artist, he assembled large collages of found driftwood and woodcut in framed, puzzle-like forms. In the 1940s, he was formally trained at the Minneapolis College of Art and in the 1950s at the Art Students League in New York before receiving a Fulbright to study in France. Taking his place as part of the modern art movement in New York in the 1950s after World War II, he was friends with Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, regularly exhibiting with de Kooning, Philip Guston, Hans Hofmann, and Franz Kline. Morrison helped bring the New York Modern Art movement to Minnesota, where he was based and worked with pure form via Abstract Expressionism. Later in his career, in the mid-1970s, Morrison shifted to a new theme and started to really explore his heritage when he and his family built a home with an art studio on the Grand Portage Indian Reservation on Lake Superior, naming it Red Rock.Rather than portraying an overt depiction of identity, Morrison was in the process of exploring his identity so he looked to nature, stating “in this search for my own identity, I seek the power of the rock, the magic of the water, the religion of the tree, the color of the wind and the enigma of the horizon.†Translating nature into paintings was Morrison’s way to navigate learning and absorption, and in turn produce self-expression. His token theme was the horizon, taking on dynamic form as colors or shapes in the eternal motion of nature. His inspiration was provided by Lake Superior, observing and documenting the temporary sight of the revered sky meeting landscape that he beheld in the moment.His artworks are spotted today in the collections of the Heard Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Whitney Museum of American Art, US National Gallery of Art, Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the Walker Art Center. In 1997 he was honored in a ceremony at the White House when his work was included in the Twentieth Century American Sculpture at The White House: Honoring Native Americans exhibition.

George Morrison (Ojibwe, 1919-2000). Lithograph on paper titled "Red Cube" depicting undulating interlocking forms, reminiscent of the artist's found driftwood collages, 1983. Pencil signed and dated along the lower right. Titled and editioned "Artist Proof" along the lower left.Lot Essay:Regarded as the founding figure of Native American modernism and among the top American abstract expressionist painters is George Morrison. Also highly regarded as a master collage artist, he assembled large collages of found driftwood and woodcut in framed, puzzle-like forms. In the 1940s, he was formally trained at the Minneapolis College of Art and in the 1950s at the Art Students League in New York before receiving a Fulbright to study in France. Taking his place as part of the modern art movement in New York in the 1950s after World War II, he was friends with Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, regularly exhibiting with de Kooning, Philip Guston, Hans Hofmann, and Franz Kline. Morrison helped bring the New York Modern Art movement to Minnesota, where he was based and worked with pure form via Abstract Expressionism.

Das Studium der Seerosenbilder von Claude Monet hatte einen tiefgreifenden Einfluss auf sein weiteres Werk. Von der eher gedämpften Palette mit Grau- und Weisstönen kehrte er nun wieder zu Licht und Farbe zurück. Er entwickelte die einzigartige Verwendung des weissen Grundes und gab somit Farbe und Ausdehnung der Form mehr Raum. Damit einhergehend wurden auch die Gemälde grösser; er konnte auf ihnen seine gestische Malerei besser umsetzen. Im Time Magazine wurde Francis als "der derzeit angesagteste amerikanische Maler in Paris" bezeichnet.Im Dezember 1954 besuchten Arnold Rüdlinger, Direktor an der Kunsthalle Bern, und Eberhard W. Kornfeld den Künstler in seinem Pariser Atelier. Die daraus resultierenden Freundschaften sollten der Ausgangspunkt für Francisʼ intensive Beziehungen zu Bern werden. Rüdlinger brachte Werke nach Bern, die 1955 in der Ausstellung "Tendances Actuelles 3" in der Kunsthalle zum ersten Mal gezeigt wurden. Ab 1957 stellte Kornfeld Francisʼ Arbeiten regelmässig in der Galerie aus und ermutigte ihn, auch graphische Werke zu schaffen.Sam Francisʼ Arbeit war immer durch die Suche nach neuen Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten gekennzeichnet. Indem er die kinetische Kraft der Farbe und die Erfahrung des Raums erforschte, erreichte er eine neue Art der Kunst: eine einzigartige Form abstrakt-expressiver, roher und gestischer Malerei. Das vorliegende Gemälde "Paris Summer" wird – der Titel legt es nahe – im Sommer 1958 in Paris entstanden sein, wohl auf dem Fussboden seines Ateliers in Arcueil ausgeführt in kraftvollen Pinselstrichen und der Technik des "Drippings". Man spürt förmlich die Dynamik im Entstehungsprozess und die Gestaltungskraft des bedeutenden abstrakten Expressionisten.MWST / VATMehrwertsteuer auf dem Zuschalgspreis plus AufgeldErwartete Ausrufzeit (+/- 15min)13.09.2024; 14:30 h (MEST)VersandkostenAuf Anfrage / On request
* ALAN DAVIE CBE RA HRSA RWA (SCOTTISH 1920 - 2014) LEAP FOR JOY oil and felt tip pen on paper, signed, titled and dated 2011mounted and framedimage size 37cm x 50cm, overall size 55cm x 68cm Label verso: Gimpel Fils, LondonNote: Alan Davie was recognised internationally as a new radical force in modern painting and was hailed by art critic Alan Bowness as, alongside Francis Bacon, one of the most influential artist of his time. He was an artist who created his own unique style, thoroughly spontaneous, and on drawing from a number of different interests, including his own experiences of primitive art, Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism and Zen Buddhism. However, despite his diverse influences, a Davie painting could never be mistaken for anyone else's work. Alan Davie first trained as a painter at Edinburgh College of Art where he also took up jazz music, and earned money as a musician, poet and jeweller. After his marriage in 1947 to fellow art student Janet Gaul, he travelled widely in Europe and for the first time was exposed to Italian masterpieces such as Cimabue and Giotto in Florence, before meeting Peggy Guggenheim in Venice who introduced him to Pollock's early work. Her recognition and later patronage of his work propelled him onto the international arena. When Davie returned to England he was taken on by the London gallery Gimpel Fils, where he had his first solo exhibition and from then on had the support of both the gallery and the Gimpel family. Initially however, it was in America where he experienced the greatest success; at his first New York exhibition, every painting sold mostly to major institutions and in 1956, when he first visited New York, the city's major artists of the day turned out to meet him, including Pollock and Rothko. In 1957 he showed work at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris and at the Guggenheim in New York. In 1958, he was part of the Critic's Choice Exhibition selected by David Sylvester and in the same year he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale. Alan Davie's work has been widely exhibited and is included in numerous international public and private collections, including the Tate Britain, the Arts Council of Great Britain, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Foundation Maeght and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. His exuberant and expressive paintings possess a unique force that can be associated with the New York School and also the St Ives School, yet he also stood alone from these groups. He borrowed freely from all cultures, and it is the combination of these experiences, together with his freedom of expression, that gives Davie his unique style.
* BRUCE TIPPETT (BRITISH 1933 - 2017), LANDSCAPE WITH REEDS charcoal on paper, signed and dated '08mounted, framed and under glassimage size 43cm x 53cm, overall size 75cm x 82cm Note: Bruce Tippett was a British born artist who was championed by Philip Granville (Lord's Gallery, London) and the legendary Betty Parsons (Betty Parsons Gallery, New York) and others. Jane England writes in her 1992 catalogue : "In 1957, he (Tippett) saw Japanese brush paintings for the first time at the British Museum (which now houses nine Bruce Tippett drawings). He recalls now that 'Something awoke in me and I entered another realm'. The works of the Japanese calligraphers inspired him by their mixture of spontaneity and contemplation. Like the Zen masters, Tippett achieved spontaneity by constantly paring down the image and concentrating on its essential spirit, with no sign of the struggle involved. When Tippett first saw a work by Hartung at Gimpel Fils in May 1958, he was struck by the similarities of their respective calligraphic styles. These similarities had different origins. In Tippett's case the energetic strokes and lines came from his early drawings of reeds and stakes in marsh landscapes and the studies he had made of building structures, whereas Hartung's expressive calligraphy came from his early experiments with automatism." Alan Bowness pointed out in his "Portrait of the Artist" (1958) that "having made the first steps on his own Tippett realized that the calligraphic paintings of Hartung pointed in the direction he wished to go but by the end of 1957 Tippett had reached something that was recognizably an original manner, and the drawings done then and at the beginning of this year have a remarkable ease and assurance." After Peggy Guggenheim closed her Art of This Century Gallery in 1947, Parsons was one of only a very few gallery owners to promote avant-garde American art at a time when the commercial demand for it was minuscule. The Betty Parsons Gallery was also, for a considerable time, the only gallery in the US which promoted and supported Abstract Expressionism. Parsons played a major and significant role in establishing New York as the centre of the art world and Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, William Congdon, Clyfford Still, Theodorus Stamos, Ellsworth Kelly, Hedda Sterne, Forrest Bess, Michael Loew, Lyman Kipp, Judith Godwin, Tony Smith, Robert Rauschenberg, Barnett Newman and many other artists owed much to Betty Parsons. Bruce Tippett first visited New York in 1965 when Dorothy Miller bought one of his paintings for MOMA. He met Betty Parsons at the Venice Biennale in 1966 and immediately afterwards she visited his studio in Rome and bought several paintings and drawings for her gallery. Bruce Tippett exhibited regularly at The Betty Parsons Gallery (New York) from 1967 and had his last solo show there in 1981, the year before Betty Parsons died. Bruce Tippett continued to exhibit in the US and the UK and even more frequently in Italy and France. He died in France in 2017, where he had lived and worked since 2005. His work is held in some of the most important collections in the US and Europe including The Louvre (Paris), The British Museum (London), Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna (Rome) and MOMA (New York), yet in his country of birth, his work remains relatively unknown.

Betty Parsons, American 1900-1982 - Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, c.1943; gouache on paper, indistinctly signed lower right 'Betty Parsons', 43.8 x 58.5 cm Note: with a label attached to the reverse of the frame which bears the inscription 'gouache of Marthas Vineyard Mass by Petty Parsons of Parson Gallery NYC'. Parsons was a celebrated artists and art dealer, whose gallery in New York was pioneering in its support of artists such as Chryssa, Jackson Pollock and Agnes Martin. As an artist, Parsons exhibited at the Whitechapel Gallery, London in 1968 and the Nigel Greenwood Gallery, London in 1980. A similar early work, 'Sailboat, Rockport, 1943', by the artist can be found in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Aubrey Williams, Guyanese/British 1926-1990 - Kumaka, 1963; oil and mixed media on canvas, signed, dated and titled on the reverse 'Aubrey Williams 63 Kumaka', 71 x 81.3 cm (ARR) Provenance:private collection and thence by descent Note: Kumaka refers to a village in Williams's native Guyana. This piece is typical of Williams's style of the 1960s, combining abstract impressionist tendencies with the forms and symbols of the pre-Colombian art of the indigenous inhabitants of the Americas. Williams was strongly influenced by American artists associated with Abstract Expressionist such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning, having seen major exhibitions of their works at the Tate Gallery in London in 1956 and 1959. After moving to the city in the 1950s, Williams became a major figure in the London art world, especially through his connection with the South African artist Denis Bowen, who founded the New Visions Gallery in London. Williams co-founded the Caribbean Artists Movement with other London-based Caribbean artists and intellectuals, such as Ronald Moody, Stuart Hall and Orlando Patterson. His artwork is currently in the collection of the Tate in London, the Arts Council, the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and the Bristol Museum and Gallery, among others. His work was central to the 2022 exhibition, 'Post-war Modern: New Art in Britain 1945-1965' at the Barbican Centre, London and other recent internationally acclaimed shows including 'Life Between Islands: Caribbean-British Art 50s – Now', 2021 at Tate Britain and 'The Gift of Art', 2018 at the Perez Art Museum, Miami.
