JOSEF HOFFMANN (Brtnice, Czech Republic, 1870 - Vienna, 1956).Dining table, ca. 1900.Walnut wood and brass.Measurements: 80 x 130 x 110 x 110 cm (closed); 80 x 250 x 110 cm (with two extensions).Art Deco style table with an emphatic, monolithic structure, based on the expressiveness of regular geometric volumes and contrasting planes and materials. It has an extendable tabletop, almost square when folded, with a profile highlighted by a perpendicular veneered profile, evoking the forms of a frame and panel structure, in a nod to tradition. It stands on four legs in the form of octagonal, faceted and polished pillars, with an equally prismatic, undecorated base and capital. These legs are placed on a sloping pedestal with a wooden central surface and sides covered in hammered bronze, which was widely used between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century as a reminder of the old metal forging techniques. At the corners, this pedestal has openwork reinforcements with curved cut-outs.

One bearing the name FALCON, each with bronze muzzle plug, one carriage with distresseach barrel 92cm long (2)Accompanied by a letter from The Armouries, HM Tower of London addressed to Capt. Charles Struben, dd 29th April 1953, in which the Assistant to the Master of the Armouries provides some information regarding the name Falcon. In the letter he states that Lord Yarborough, the Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron had a number of vessels named Falcon in the 19th century. In 1829 Lord Yarborough went on a cruise with the Channel Fleet in his then named yacht Falcon which was fully armed. The yacht later went to China and became an opium clipper. The letter does state that the information 'is far from definite but may anyway form a basis for surmise'.

bronze and granite with steel bolts on a granite and steel base128cm high EXHIBITEDThe Gallery at Grande Provence, Franschhoek, Deduct, 2006 With thanks to The Angus Taylor studio for their assistance with this lot. From the exhibition catalogue: Taylor has developed a solid reputation for his accomplished and humorously ironical bronze sculptures. But now his new show 'Deduct' marks a departure from this medium that he has grown to know so well. His purpose for this show is twofold; he wished to dislodge himself from his previous comfort zone in terms of sculptural techniques and materials, and in so doing, hopes to strip away the polished surfaces of the finished piece to reveal the physical and mental processes involved in its making. Taylor works from the premise that deduction gathers a valid conclusion from a more general premise to a more specific. The process of induction involves drawing general conclusions based on a limited and specific inference. Thus, in a technocratic culture that favours simulation and speed over real-time relationships, people and things are reduced to quick-time taxonomies. Deduction implies the opposite. To deduce involves reasoning from the general to the, underscoring the need to engage with culture in terms of its flexible morphology. In this body of work, Taylor attempts to peel away the surface of his art to explore its innards, forcing the viewer to engage with the process of art making. He says in this regard: "Information overload causes the domination of inductive reasoning. I am presenting the sculpture or an idea in aspects, perspectives or in different mediums. By showing a sculpture in repetition but a variant with different defined parts or perspectives I am forcing the viewer to assemble the whole from different aspects. One gains access to the part in considering the whole. The collective defines the individual. For, in the words of Meyer Vaisman, "there is nothing more meaningful than taking meaning apart"". In this way, the induction / deduction binary is conflated in Taylor's work which, as a collection, is both scopic and expansive. Together, his use of a traditional medium like bronze with the plastic form of LED lights pokes fun at old and new canons. This exhibition, in other words, plays with the cultural and art-historical tropes of meaning making in contemporary Africa. Provided by the Angus Taylor Studio
