Quentin Bell (British 1910-1996) for the Fulham Pottery, a pottery vase, moulded with a double portrait bust of a man and woman, initialled QB, and signed to base, 30.5cm highCondition Report: Under fluorescent light one can see areas of over painting, possibly oil, and there appear to be paint losses. These areas are noticeable over both faces and there appears to be an un-eveness in the contours of the face. The body of the vessel appears to be fully vitrified and does not appear to have been cracked or repaired. Potentially this is a mixed media piece or someone has at some point enriched the surface with oil paint. Viewing is highly recommended before bidding.

T.L.S., Quentin Bell, one page, 8vo, Cobbe Place, Beddingham, Lewes, Sussex, 13th October 1976, to Stephen Brook.

It´s possible that Mrs. Langley Moore might be able to help you, or alternatively the Professor of Fashion, whose name escapes me, at the Victoria and Albert Museum´. Bell also adds a postscript in his hand, signed with his initials Q. B., apologising if his salutation is too familiar and impertinent. One staple to the upper left corner.

He was also a society, portrait and catwalk photographer for Ritz Newspaper, Avant Garde Magazine, Root, Fashion Weekly & POL and freelanced for daily newspapers during this time. In 1985 Robert returned to Australia and continued his work with Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Mode & Elle and the Sunday Telegraph, Sydney.Robert Rosen is one of Australia's foremost social photographers and an astute observer of Sydney and London society. He has covered social events for the past 30 years and through his lens brings us tantalizing shots of global celebrities. These are not the stiff poses and uncomfortable smiles captured by most social photographers. It is clear Rosen's subjects are willing participants, resulting in images that exude warmth and wit. This fascinating series of Polaroid photographs records the glamour, the personalities, the drama and the fun of London, Paris and Sydney social events. The images are also important social documents, recording key personalities among the world's social set‚ a mix of actors, rockstars, stage and screen stars and creatives. A visual history of his work appears in his latest book Glitterati. David Bowie Polaroid, London, 1981.'This polaroid was taken at a party at Regine's nightclub on top of a building in Kensington London. I spotted Bowie in the garden and nervously went up to him and asked if I could take his photo and do a Polaroid of him. He agreed but wanted us to go somewhere a little more secluded. I took the Polaroid and all the while I'm thinking, he's going to remember me as the photographer who'd taken his photo at the Blitz Club without his permission about six months before. He was asking me questions about my attire, especially the Andrew Logan mirror bowtie I was wearing. He then said ' Ahh, Robert Rosen with the looking glass bowtie.' I smiled and showed him the Polaroid that by now had fully developed. But it had my fingerprints across the top of it as I'd been nervously holding it too hard whilst talking to David. I suggested we take another one, but he said 'No I like it, it's art' and he signed it.'- Robert RosenThe Charlie Watts Polaroid is the only unsigned photograph in the collection. When Rosen asked Watts to sign it, his excuse for not doing so was because John Lennon had passed away that day.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
