Danny LaneUnique and monumental 'Mandorla' sculpture, 2003Hand-cut float glass, stainless steel. 312.5 x 82 x 25 cmFootnotes:Sacred Geometry by Nick WrightBy defacing the surface of glass Danny Lane invites one to look inside a material designed to be seen through. He makes the invisible visible. It began with a visit to Ron Arad's first shop, an old bicycle store, on Endell Street. Arad was showing tables made with scaffold bases and seeing the glass tops Lane felt he 'could do more'. He noticed a chipped sheet and, with Arad's agreement, took it back to his Hackney studio and polished the broken edge. The safe but still fractured line drew the eye into the seemingly infinite green breadth. Having used pliers to replicate accidental breakage, Lane set about the surface. He sandblasted swirls, whorls, scratches and stabs into the glass creating a 'sand blasted drawing'. The jagged pieces, redolent of industrial decline and social facture, sat well on Arad's scaffold bases – and with buyers. French critics coined the term 'ruinism'. Arad, an AA educated architect dislikes it. 'Destruction wasn't on the flag', he says. Lane is less resistant. 'Though the techniques were destructive, they opened up the material to reveal the beauty inherent, its soul'. Both shared a Duchampian quest for what Arad called 'the perfect line'. Designed in its entirety by Lane in 1985, the RSJ table comes close to describing that line. A massive steel RSJ serves as a cross-member. Bolted to one end is a plate of pliered glass, welded to the other an even larger steel. The rusted RSJ was sheared using a torch, ripped apart, then hammered by the industrial machinery that Lane was even then salvaging from London's bankrupt engineering industry.The RSJ table is elegant despite its scale, avant-garde despite his pillaging of a redundant industrial past for materials. Indeed, when his contemporaries were using scrap Victorian ornament to make whimsical, sometimes historicist, even New Romantic forms, Danny Lane created a brutalist monster piece that remains timeless because it is 'right'. Most designers would have produced a sizable edition. Lane made five, all different – of course - before continuing his own quest; to divine the depth of glass. He talks of a conscious break too from making furniture; 'How well I was misplaced'. An American, he had travelled throughout Europe as a young man, entranced by the stained-glass saints illuminating the windows of the great cathedrals. He came to the UK to study glass making under Patrick Reyntiens, took a degree in painting at the Central School of Art and Design, and only though a chance meeting with Ron Arad was he diverted into furniture. Design and art are, despite the protestations of many designers, not equivalent; why limit expression to the representation of a chair or lamp when the imagination is, or feels to be, limitless? That said, there is continuity between, and Danny Lane's career demonstrates this.Mandorla (a medieval architectural frame enclosing a sacred figure) has no utility beyond the aesthetic. Like any artwork its success must be measured in its ability to 'move' as David Hockney put it 'Art has to move you, design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus'. That and its originality. Mandorla succeeds when judged by the first criterion. The pliared edge of each plate draws the eye inside an interior seemingly illuminated by the cold light of a distant sun. Stood before the shard one sees one's reflection as if frozen within. Stand further back and the fall of layered glass awes, not with its scale or technicality of construction, but its elegance despite them. In aesthetic terms Mandorla is a success.In terms of originality the sculpture has antecedents; Danny Lane has done this before. The stacked glass sculptures that grace Canary Wharf, The General motors HQ, make up the balustrade in the Victoria and Albert Museum, and Mandorla itself, were prototyped in chairs he made in the 1980s. Danny Lane did not break with furniture design. He used techniques developed in furniture to continue his quest. That quest is to divine the depth of a material that has entranced him all his life, glass. It is by his own account a spiritual quest and one his work, furniture and sculpture, permits us to accompany him on. His work moves.

Recommendation states: 7th Armd Div, 30th Corps “In the action at Agheila on the 14th Dec. 42 Lt. Bethel-Fox (sic) was in command of the right hand flank troop of the Crusader Squadron, during the whole of this day he showed the highest initiative, courage and good soldierly qualities in his movements against the enemy. During this period he lost no opportunity in inflicting casualties upon the enemy’s vehicles and personnel, without losing a single tank in the afternoon, having seen what he thought to be a movement of enemy tanks around his right flank, he moved forward, destroyed two tanks, and then seeing an Anti Tank Gun in action on the far side of a ridge, engaged and destroyed it in the face of heavy fire from this and other guns in the vicinity. During this period his tank was hit many times. On his return, seeing that the track of another Crusader had been split, and the tank itself under heavy shell and machine gun fire, he went alongside, himself adjusted the tow rope and pulled it out of action. At last light, when getting out of his tank on entering close leaguer, he was wounded by enemy shell fire. This officer’s conduct during the day is but another example of the courage shown by him in the battle for the Sidi Rahman Track on 3 Nov 42 on which occasion he was also wounded. I consider that Lieut. Bethel-Fox, on this, as on previous occasions, showed great initiative, fine leadership and complete disregard for his personal safety.” signed by Montgomery. The Sidi Rahman Track was part of the Second Battle of El Alamein; the action at El-Agheila took place as part of Rommel’s rearguard action following his El Alamein defeat. On 6th June 1944 Bethell-Fox was with the Sherman tanks of A Squadron during the D-Day invasion of Normandy with the 8th Armoured Brigade, landing on Gold Beach, Arromanches, from where they supported the push to capture Bayeux. By 8th June they were at Pt 103 above St Pierre. Bethell-Fox went on foot with his “Great Pal” Captain Keith Douglas, (the celebrated WWII Poet) to ascertain enemy positions and movements around the area. The following day they again left their tanks on their own initiative for further recconaissance but after arriving at a stream they were fired on by enemy machine guns. Captain Douglas, who had often harboured negative thoughts of his own mortality, became “paralised with fear” and after a scramble they managed to get back to Pt 103, however, shortly after this a shell burst took Douglas’s life. In 1944 Bethell-Fox wrote “Green Beaches” whilst recovering from wounds received at Normandy. Promotions: Lieut. R.A.C. May 1942; Captain 9th Lancers 22.11.1946; Major 22.11.1953.

An engraved light-baluster wine glassmid 18th CenturyThe rounded funnel bowl engraved with a thistle and the inscription 'NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSET' (no one wounds (touches) me with impunity), set on a tall slender teared multi-knopped stem incorporating a beaded inverted baluster, over a conical foot, 18cm high.Footnotes:Provenance: Bonhams sale, 21 May 2014, lot 80, where acquired by Peter LoleThe Peter Lole CollectionAlthough misspelt, the inscription is the motto of the Order of the Thistle. This Scottish Order of Chivalry, the perquisite of Scottish kings and high nobility, was linked to the Jacobite political movement. The Order of the Thistle was established in the late 17th century and revived by Queen Anne. Knights of the Order would have been appointed by the monarch, and it is possible that this glass was commissioned by one of them. A glass engraved with a thistle and the same motto was sold in these rooms, 2 June 2004, lot 95, and in The Scottish Sale, 23 August 2006, lot 482. Another glass with comparable engraving of a thistle and the same motto is in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, accession no. 1953-29-9.Peter Lole, in unpublished notes on this glass speculates that this glass is probably Dutch in origin and also engraved in Holland. He speculates that the glass was perhaps made for export, presumably to Scotland, or for a Scot resident in Holland or Northern Europe. This person might have been a Jacobite Knight of the Thistle or a Scot who wished to emphasize his adherence to the Stuart monarchy. In the first category there were at this time only two non-royal survivors, both coincidentally created knights in 1725 by James III & VIII: the troublesome James Murray, Earl of Dunbar, who died at Avignon in 1770 and George Keith, 10th Earl Marischal, who lived until 1778. Prince Charles is also a possible candidate. For a Scot who was not a Thistle Knight but who resided in Holland and was a committed and exiled Jacobite, Lord George Murray, who died at Medemblik in 1760 is also a possibility.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
