plaster sculptures 15cm tall each Provenance: The estate of the artist Note 1: Born in Scotland to Italian parents, Paolozzi attended evening classes at the Edinburgh College of Art and studied at St. Martin’s School of Art, later transferring to London’s Slade School of Art, where he graduated in 1947. He moved to Paris for three years where he became involved in Dadaism and Surrealism. In 1950, Paolozzi returned to London, quickly becoming a leading member of the Independent Group. As a significant member of the Group, Paolozzi greatly influenced the development of Pop Art. He taught all over the world as guest professor and lecturer, and was knighted in 1988. Eduardo Paolozzi died in 2005. Note 2 : Paolozzi began to make the quasi-cubist sculptures which were to figure among his signature works, in the 1970s. The plaster sculptures now offered for sale fit loosely into this aspect of his work, but were executed in the 1990’s. Paolozzi was particularly keen that plaster should achieve a higher status than had previously been the case and his works in the medium were often not cast in any other material. They were cast from a variety of sources, some being taken from the 'ready-mades' in his studio, while others were made to the artist's original, sometimes existing designs. There is a larger version of the Mondrian head in the National galleries of Scotland cast in Bronze and a similar work in Bronze conceived in 1993 sold in Christies on 21/10/21 for £56250 (Lot 154, The Molenick Collection) The Tate also have a version of the Mondrian Head which is cast in plaster. The Rabbit was among a number of small animal sculptures made specifically for the Arche Noah, (Noah's Ark), exhibition staged in Munich in 1990. In contrast heads were a constant in Paolozzi's work, from the 1950s onwards, and the large Cubist Head fits within a series made from the late 1980s into the 1990s. The Mondrian Head is clearly a comment upon the effects of technology upon our humanity. Perhaps the most personal of the plaster works here is the two clenched fists, which relates directly to those of Paolozzi's sculpture Daedalus, his body constructed from fragments on a Frankenstinian model. In Greek myth, Daedalus was the builder of the Cretan labyrinth and Paolozzi seems to have seen him as a kindred spirit and probably considered.

Wincenty Wodzinowski (1866–1940) – an outstanding Polish painter and educator, associated with the Kraków artistic community at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. He graduated from the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied under the guidance of Jan Matejko, and later continued his studies in Paris. He specialized in portraiture, historical painting, and genre scenes, often inspired by the life of the Polish countryside and patriotic events. His work is characterized by precision in detail and clear references to national tradition.The presented "Portrait of a Legionary" depicts a young soldier in the uniform of the Polish Legions, with a look of determination and pride on his face.

* BENNO SCHOTZ RSA (ESTONIAN 1891 - 1984), THE PRINCE OF GOALKEEPERS (JOHN THOMSON OF CELTIC F.C.),, CIRCA 1968 bronzed resinA bronze of this sculpture is in the collection of Celtic F.C.Note on both Schotz and Thomson:Benno Schotz was born to Jewish parents, Jacob Schotz, a watchmaker, and Cherna Tischa Abramovitch, in Arensburg, Russia (now Kuressaare, Estonia) in 1891. He was educated at the Boys Grammar School of Pärnu, Estonia. Later he studied at the Grossherzogliche Technische Hochschule in Darmstadt, Germany. In 1912, he immigrated to Glasgow, where he gained an engineering diploma from the Royal Technical College and from 1914–23 worked in the drawing office of John Brown and Company, Clydebank shipbuilders while attending evening classes in sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art. Schotz became a full-time sculptor in 1923 and subsequently a member of the Royal Scottish Academy, Head of Sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art (a post he held from 1938 until his retirement in 1961), and later, in 1963, Her Majesty's Sculptor in Ordinary for Scotland. His pupils included Hannah Frank, Paul Zunterstein and Inge King (née Neufeld). His homes at West Campbell Street and later Kirklee Road were a focus for meetings of artists, writers, actors, and politicians. His first solo Glasgow exhibition was at Reid's Gallery in 1926 and his first in London at Alex Reid and Lefevre Ltd (Lefevre Gallery) in 1930. He was also a member of Glasgow Art Club, alongside recently arrived refugee artists Jankel Adler and Josef Herman, for whom he organised local Jewish community support. In 1942 he organised the important 'Jewish Art Exhibition' at the Glasgow Institute as an act of Jewish cultural identity during the Second World War. In 1981 Schotz was made a Freeman of the City of Glasgow and in the same year, Gordon Wright published his autobiography, Bronze in My Blood. During his career, Schotz produced several hundred portraits and compositions including figure compositions, religious sculptures, semi-abstracts and modelled portraits, the majority located in Glasgow and the surrounding area. A major retrospective exhibition of his works was held at the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh in 1971. He was Life-President of the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts as well as Honorary Member of both the Royal British Society of Sculptors and the Royal Institute of Architects in Scotland. His last sculpture was executed less than six weeks before his death, aged 93. He was a committed Zionist and was buried in Jerusalem. His work is represented in numerous UK collections including The National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh City Art Centre, The Kelvingrove Art Gallery, Aberdeen Galleries, The Scottish National Portrait Gallery, BBC Scotland, The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow Museums & Galleries, The Peoples Palace (Glasgow), The Scottish Jewish Archives Centre, Ben Uri Gallery & Museum (London) and the House of Commons (London). His work is also held in various public collections in Israel. Christie's held a major Studio Sale of Benno Schotz's work in Glasgow in 1997.John Thomson, The Prince of Goalkeepers, is one of the most important figures in the history of Celtic Football Club.Having signed for the team in 1926 at the age of 17, his natural athleticism and brave spirit ensured he would become a mainstay between the sticks. He helped the team to two Scottish Cups and three Glasgow Cups. He would also represent the national side and national select XI four times apiece.Thomson's name will forever be associated with the tragedy that befell him during an Old Firm clash on the 5th September 1931. The match was played at Ibrox in front of 80,000 fans. Early in the 2nd half, Thomson collided with Rangers player Sam English, whilst both going for the ball. Most people assumed the goalkeeper badly injured as he was stretchered off, Chic Geatons taking his place in goal.Upon being transported to the Victoria Infirmary, Thomson would soon be pronounced dead. The death of a young goalkeeper in his prime shocked the footballing world. Beyond that, the tragic loss of a young man's life, only 22 years of age and recently engaged, still stands as amongst the most profound moments in sporting history.40,000 people attended the funeral in his home town of Cardenden, including thousands who travelled from Glasgow, many walking the 55 miles to the Fife village. 101cm wide

GLENLIVET 18 YEARS OLD | Stated age: 18 years old | ABV: 43% | Region: Speyside | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 700 ml | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: paper box | Bottle code: LW10714/08/07/01 15:13 | Estimate: 2 000 - 3 000 Kc | Distillery | Glenlivet is an iconic Scottish distillery located in the Speyside region, with a history dating back to 1824 when it was founded by George Smith. It was one of the first distilleries to obtain a legal license following the passage of the Excise Act of 1823, allowing it to produce whiskey legally. This move to legalize whiskey production was met with resistance from local illegal producers at the time, but Glenlivet quickly became a model for other distilleries. It is known for its fine spirit, which is characterized by notes of apples and malt.Thanks to its quality, Glenlivet soon became one of the most popular whiskies, not only in Scotland, but also on the international scene. Already in the 1830s, it was popular in London, especially among the upper classes of society. The Glenlivet name gained such prestige that other Speyside distilleries began to use its name. This dispute led to a legal battle which George Smith won, resulting in only Glenlivet being allowed to use the name "The Glenlivet".In 1978 the distillery was incorporated into Seagram. When Pernod Ricard bought Seagram's whiskey portfolio in 2001, Glenlivet became the global group's key brand. Under the management of Pernod Ricard, Glenlivet has grown to become one of the best-selling single malt whiskeys in the world.Today, Glenlivet offers a wide range of bottlings, including the famous 12-year-old, 15-year-old, 18-year-old, 21-year-old and 25-year-old whiskies. It also features limited editions and vintage bottlings that are sought after by whiskey enthusiasts around the world. | Bottle | Glenlivet Aged 18 Years is a single malt whisky from the renowned Glenlivet distillery, celebrated for its elegance and finesse.

The distillery has had a checkered history, having been damaged several times by fires and even an explosion that partially destroyed it in 1903. Despite these complications, Glenrothes has always managed to get back on its feet and become an important whiskey producer, with blends such as Cutty Sark and The Famous Grouse.The distillery has long operated mainly as part of blended whiskey, but in 2010 it began to focus more on its own single malt production.

It was founded in 1836 and since 1865 it has been managed by the Grant family, who have been running it for six generations. The name of the distillery means "valley of green grass", referring to the rich pastures surrounding its surroundings. This long-standing family supervision allows Glenfarclas to maintain traditional production methods and a careful approach to distillation, which is reflected in the character of their whisky.The Grants are known for their careful business strategy and thoughtful approach to growth. As George Grant, the sixth generation of the family says, "We've been through 22 recessions. We only make what we can afford and we never borrow to make it." This attitude allowed the distillery to increase its stock even when others were cutting production, ensuring it had enough older whiskeys to sell. Glenfarclas is also careful to maintain a strong brand by avoiding collaboration with independent bottlers.An important feature of Glenfarclas is its aging of whiskey in Oloroso sherry casks, which gives the whiskey rich notes of dried fruit, spice and sweetness.In 2007, the prestigious series The Family Casks was launched, which includes vintage editions of whiskey since 1954. This project is one of the most extensive among Scottish distilleries. | Bottle | Glenfarclas Aged 17 Years is a single malt whisky, bottled directly by the Glenfarclas distillery, known for its traditional production methods and use of sherry casks to mature its whiskies.

Glenmorangie is famous for its tall 'giraffe' stills which produce a fine, fruity and sweet spirit. Thanks to the innovations of Dr. Today, Billa Lumsden is also known for its experimental limited editions, using different varieties of barley and types of whiskey barrels.Since 2004, the distillery has been owned by the French company Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH). | Bottle | Glenmorangie 18 Years Old Extremely Rare is a single malt whisky that matures for at least 18 years.

He chose the site by the River Spey because of its access to clean water and its proximity to the Strathspey Railway, which made it easy to transport whiskey. The distillery is known for its unusually shaped stills with flat tops and gently sloping arms, the only ones of their kind in Scotland, which contribute to the creation of a complex spirit with meaty, citrus, spicy and fruity notes. The Cragganmore distillate was one of the few single malt whiskeys rated A1 by the blenders, i.e. exceptional.Cragganmore is part of Diageo's original Classic Malts range, but much of the production is used for blended blends such as Johnnie Walker. Despite its complexity and rich flavor, it remains a bit of a hidden Speyside gem, due in part to the limited availability of single malt versions. | Bottle | Cragganmore 1993 is a single malt whisky that was distilled in 1993 and bottled in 2007 as part of The Distillers Edition series. Diageo's Distillers Edition series features a selection of iconic distilleries and their whiskies, which undergo additional maturation in fortified wine casks for added depth and complexity. In this case, the whisky was initially matured in bourbon casks and then finished in Ruby port casks. This double aging process imparts more complexity and a fuller flavor.Nose: Rich, with notes of blackcurrant and spice that add depth and intensity.Taste: Complex, with flavors of cherry and tobacco, complemented by dark fruits and a strong hint of port wine.Finish: Sweet and harmonious, with traces of fruit and spice that perfectly reflect the character of this port-finished whisky.The auctioned bottle is from batch CggD-6559.

The new distillery continued to produce unsmoked single malt whisky, while the original building was renamed Brora and produced an excellent smoked spirit. Unfortunately, in 1983 Brora was closed, which only strengthened its cult status.

GLENLIVET ARCHIVE 21 YEARS OLD BATCH NO. 1109D | Stated age: 21 years old | ABV: 43% | Region: Speyside | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 700 ml | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: wooden box | Bottle code: 16/11/09 08:15 LA41144 | Estimate: 5 000 - 7 000 Kc | Distillery | Glenlivet is an iconic Scottish distillery located in the Speyside region, with a history dating back to 1824 when it was founded by George Smith. It was one of the first distilleries to obtain a legal license following the passage of the Excise Act of 1823, allowing it to produce whiskey legally. This move to legalize whiskey production was met with resistance from local illegal producers at the time, but Glenlivet quickly became a model for other distilleries. It is known for its fine spirit, which is characterized by notes of apples and malt.Thanks to its quality, Glenlivet soon became one of the most popular whiskies, not only in Scotland, but also on the international scene. Already in the 1830s, it was popular in London, especially among the upper classes of society. The Glenlivet name gained such prestige that other Speyside distilleries began to use its name. This dispute led to a legal battle which George Smith won, resulting in only Glenlivet being allowed to use the name "The Glenlivet".In 1978 the distillery was incorporated into Seagram. When Pernod Ricard bought Seagram's whiskey portfolio in 2001, Glenlivet became the global group's key brand. Under the management of Pernod Ricard, Glenlivet has grown to become one of the best-selling single malt whiskeys in the world.Today, Glenlivet offers a wide range of bottlings, including the famous 12-year-old, 15-year-old, 18-year-old, 21-year-old and 25-year-old whiskies. It also features limited editions and vintage bottlings that are sought after by whiskey enthusiasts around the world. | Bottle | Glenlivet 21 Years Old "Archive" is a prestigious single malt whisky, bottled in 2009.

Bruton Knowles Auction Rooms, circa autumn 1989 Ex Private collection Mr Summerfield was a book dealer / collector in Sold Cheltenham, England. When he passed away the shop and home above, housing the contents of the collection were so numerous, an enormous quantity of boxes, items stacked one upon another, the sorting and dispersal took many weeks, with auctions divided between Christie's (at the local race course) and Bruton Knowles Auction Rooms, auctions took place over a number of weeks. Ivory amulets were made by shamans and individual hunters for supernatural aid and protection. They were passed down through families as treasured heirlooms and were used to influence a tutelary or helping spirit. These small sculptures were so important to the beliefs of the community that nothing could be accomplished without their help.

A RARE SPIRIT MASK 'BARAK' OR 'YAMBURAI PARAK' EASTERN SEPIK PROVINCE, NEW GUINEA, LATE 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURY Wood, remains of polychrome, modern stand mask 45cm high, 35cm deep Provenance: UK Art Market Ex Private collection Literature: 'New Guinea Art, Masterpieces from the Jolika collection of Marcia and John Friede, Fine Arts Museum San Francisco, vol. 2, pg. 89. ill. 39 Originally these masks were brightly coloured. However, after many years of exposure within the ceremonial houses the colour faded away through use and weathering. The mask was traditionally worn by a dancer whose plant fibre costume completely covered him, and was associated with an important male mythical being. The Barak (sometimes spelled 'barag' or 'brag') were situated to the west of the Sepik River. The Sepik River was first explored in 1885 by Otto Fisch. He wrote of the region's cultural diversity and beauty of the villages that he saw on the banks of the river over which towered the 'men's houses'. In the early 20th century collectors of primitive art were astounded at the sheer quantity of marvellous objects to be found in this region and the extraordinary inventiveness of the forms in this difficult swampy terrain.

A Second War ‘Bomber Command’ D.F.M. group of four awarded to Flying Officer W. H. Widger, Royal Air Force, who flew 28 operational sorties as Navigator Bomber with 103 Squadron and at least a further 3 operational sorties as Bomb Aimer with No 1 Group Special Duties Flight, before being killed during the raid on Mailly-le-Camp on 4 May 1944 Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (1339439 Sgt W. H. Widger. R.A.F.); 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star; War Medal 1939-45, mounted for wear, nearly extremely fine (4) £1,400-£1,800 --- D.F.M. London Gazette 13 July 1943. The original Recommendation, dated 21 May 1943, states: ‘Sergeant Widger was posted to No. 103 Squadron on 7 February 1943, and since that date has completed 25 operational sorties, most of which have been against the more heavily defended German targets. His fearless determination to press home each attack with accuracy and vigour in spite of the heaviest defences has been largely responsible for the many successes he and his crew have achieved. His cheerfulness and excellent offensive spirit, together with his fine record of service, deserve high praise, and I recommend him for the non-immediate award of the Distinguished Flying Medal.’ William Henry Widger was born in Dawlish, Devon in 1922. A Boiler-Maker’s Apprentice by occupation he enlisted in the Royal Air Force 21 July 1941. Having completed his training and promoted to Sergeant he was posted to 103 Squadron R.A.F. Elsham Woods. Flying Lancasters, his first operational sortie with this unit was a raid on Lorient on 16 February 1943; further operational sorties over the next three and a half months included Wilhelmshaven, Bremen, Nuremberg, Cologne, St. Nazaire (twice), Berlin (three times), Hamburg, Stuttgart, Essen (four times), Duisburg (five times), Keil, Spezia, Stettin, Dortmund, Bochum, Dusseldorf, and Wuppertal. For his services as Navigator Bomber on these 28 operational sorties he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal. Granted an Emergency Commission as a Pilot Officer in the General Duties Branch, R.A.F. Volunteer Reserve on 26 September 1943, Widger was posted to 101 Squadron on 23 March 1944. Promoted to Flying Officer he was posted to No 12 Base 18 April 1944 and formed No 1 Group Special Duties Flight, R.A.F. Binbrook, acting as No 1 Group target marking force. As Bomb Aimer he successfully completed sorties on Maintenon and Lyons before taking part in the fateful raid on Mailly-le-Camp on 4 May 1944, during which his aircraft crashed near the village of St Remy-Sous-Barbuise, with the loss of the entire crew. He is buried alongside his crew in the collective grave No 2-4 of St Remy-Sous-Barbuise Churchyard, Aube, France.

Five: Captain R. A. Goer, 151st Ayrshire Yeomanry Field Regiment, Royal Artillery, who used his wireless set with great effect and later fought as an infantryman with the 3rd Battalion, Monmouthshire Regiment, in tenacious hand to hand fighting on the East bank of the Dortmund-Ems Canal 1939-45 Star; France and Germany Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45; United States of America, Bronze Star (Robert A. Goer) the first four mounted as worn, the last in official case of issue, with riband bar and enamel lapel badge, good very fine (5) £100-£140 --- United States Bronze Star London Gazette 17 October 1946. The official citation by Major W. E. Mitchell, O.C. 151st (A.Y.) Fd. Regt., R.A., states: ‘Captain Goer has distinguished himself by heroic achievement not involving participation in aerial flight. He acted as F.O.O. on foot in support of the 3rd Battalion, the Monmouthshire Regiment during the operation to clear the woods on the East bank of the Dortmund-Ems Canal for the protection of the crossing. Intense opposition was encountered in these woods, and the precipitous banks and denseness of trees made the going very hard and artillery support by observation difficult in the extreme. Nevertheless, Captain Goer showed the greatest determination to provide all possible assistance and for two days and a night fought his way under conditions of greatest hardship with hand to hand fighting and close range sniping going on all around him, making use of any possible chances of observation to direct the supporting artillery fire. During the last twelve hours he was with the remnants of two companies who had been badly mauled, and were then completely surrounded by the enemy and cut off from the rest of the Battalion. In spite of appalling conditions resulting from the previous days exhausting fighting followed by a night of heavy rain and coupled with a lack of food, Captain Goer maintained a spirit of cheerfulness which was exemplary. His communications were failing, but by his dauntless enthusiasm and courage he was instrumental in maintaining the morale of the men with him and so enabling them to hold out against tremendous odds until relieved. By this magnificent achievement under conditions of greatest stress he played a large part in rendering this vital crossing of the canal secure, and so making possible the continuation of the advance.’ Robert Anthony Goer was born in Dudley, West Midlands, on 29 March 1922. Appointed Second Lieutenant in June 1943, he joined 124th Battery, Royal Artillery, and landed on the Normandy beaches with 11th Armoured Division - part of VIII Corps - on 13 June 1944. Sent to the Odon Bridgehead with the 151st Field Regiment, his unit later witnessed action in the Falaise Pocket and at the crossing of the River Seine. Advancing north-east towards Amiens and on towards Antwerp, the 11th crossed the Maas and was subsequently at the forefront of efforts to breach the defences along the Dortmund-Ems canal in late March 1945. Acting as Forward Observation Officer (F.O.O.), Goer’s actions were carefully detailed in A Short History of the 151st Ayrshire Yeomanry: ‘On the 1st April, the regiment came into action in the village of Reisenbach, less than half a mile from the banks of the Dortmund-Ems canal. Up to this point there had been much movement but little firing for the regiment. The first serious call for gunner support came here. A very small bridgehead had been seized but further progress was prevented by the enemy who held a wooded ridge dominating the area of the bridge. The enemy in question were N.C.O. cadets from the training school in Hanover and they clung to their positions most tenaciously. Major Mitchell and Lieutenant Gore who were supporting 3. Mons. in their efforts to clear the ridge, made as much use of twenty-five pounder support as possible, but it was found that the height of the trees made accurate shooting difficult. Also, fighting in the wood was extremely close and confused and the position of our own troops was never certain. Lieut. Goer, acting as F.O.O. with a No. 38 portable wireless set eventually became separated from his wireless and fought as an infanteer with the 3. Mons.’ Goer survived the battle and remained with the 151st Field Regiment for the remainder of the Second World War. Raised Captain, he witnessed V.E. Day from the small Baltic port of Eckernforde, twenty miles to the north of Kiel, before the Regiment was disbanded on 4 February 1946. He died in Southsea, Hampshire, on 1 September 1982.
