ANGELA CONNER (BRITISH B. 1935) CORIOLANUS Metal 45cm (17½in.) High exc. baseProvenance: Direct from the artist's studio collection The present lot was produced as part of a series based on Shakespearean literature for an exhibition presented by The Library & Museum of the Performing Arts at The New York Library at the Lincoln Center. The series was conducted to produce emotional responses to Shakespeare's characters creating forms not figures. Coriolanus represents two cages of steel rods, one encased with the other. The single rod running through the centre signifies the melancholy of Hamlet and the outburst of entrapment and reflective introspection radiates from this central focus. Condition Report: Some light tarnishing, otherwise in good original condition.Condition Report Disclaimer
λ ENZO PLAZZOTTA (ITALIAN 1921-1981) REHEARSAL I (NADIA NERINA) Bronze on wooden base Signed and numbered from an edition of 12 44cm (17¼in.) High exc. base Together with certificate of authenticity. Literature: Carol Plazotta and Richard O'Conor, Enzo Plazotta, A Catalogue Raisonné, London, 1986, p. 38, no. 61Italian-born sculptor Enzo Plazzotta Studied in Milan at the Acadamia di Brera under Francesco Messina, until the outbreak of the second World War, when he enrolled in the army. He was sent to North Africa until Mussolini's fall, and subsequently founded a partisan movement, which led to his imprisonment. Released from the prison after the war, Plazzotta returned to Brera to complete his studies. In 1957 he travelled to England to present a statuette, before deciding to establish his artistic profile in London, directing his attention towards setting up a commercial art agency. At the age of forty, Plazzotta turned his attention back to sculpting, working mainly in bronze to create sculptures of dynamic human and animal figures, with a specific interest in dancers and horses. Despite many of his sculptures being situated on the streets of London, he maintained close links to his home-country, casting much of his work at his studio in the quarries of Pietrasanta. In 1976, Plazzotta was honoured the title of Cavaliere from the Italian government, acknowledging his services to Italian art. By 1981, Plazzotta's health was diminishing due to cancer, and he passed away within the same year. Plazzotta's work has been widely exhibited globally in Europe, the United States and Australia, and features in several public and private collections including the Vatican, Rome, The Hermitage, Lausanne and The Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane. Condition Report: Light surface dirt throughout. There are some scratches to the wood base where the sculpture meets the base. Overall in good original condition. Condition Report Disclaimer

Provenance: Direct from the artist, sculpture for Mary's 21st birthday Thence by descent to the present owner The sitter depicted in the present lot is Mary Vera Hepworth née Hopkin. She was born in Bangkok, Thailand on 20 September 1918. Her father was Harry 'Hoppy' Hopkin, then a journalist on the Straits Times, Singapore, and her mother was Nadia, a dancer, born in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. Mary's grandfather, Engel, was a tailer in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia and was responsible for the clothes worn by the workers responsible for the construction of the Trans Siberian Railway. Many of his co-workers were circus people and taught Engel and his family a whole range of circus skills. Following the completion of the railway the group of worker's including Engel and his family decided to travel to Shanghai to become street entertainers. After touring with Colonel Phyllis and his circus across China, Vietnam and Laos the family decided to buy a hotel, King Chulalonghorn himself becoming a habitué, as did the Sultan of Johore. Nadia and her sisters danced for the King at his Palace and were paid in gold. So when Hoppy, Mary's father walked in to the hotel, one day, on the lookout for a new story and his gaze fell on a dancing Nadia, he was struck. They were married, and had two girls, Nadia and Mary. Eventually Mary joined the Straits Times, to edit the society page, under the pen name Vera Ardmore - Ardmore being the name of the flats in which they lived. She had already met Dora as Hoppy had introduced Dora to Nadia as he thought her Russian/Ukrainian background would be of interest to her, and they all became friends. Some years later Hoppy came to London to join the Daily Mail as foreign editor. Dora heard of it and proposed they take the vacant house beside her newly built studios in Kingston which they did and was how and why, for a 21 birthday present, Dora sculpted Mary's nude figure. Mary married Joseph Bulmer Hepworth on 27th June 1947, who was the grandson of Joseph Hepworth who founded the nationwide tailoring company Hepworths, whose trading name changed to NEXT in 1990.

λ ALAN REYNOLDS (BRITISH 1926-2014) STRUCTURE: RED AND GREEN Oil on board 51 x 48cm (20 x 18¾ in.)Painted circa 1960.Provenance: Thomas Agnew & Sons Ltd., LondonChristened early in his career as "the golden boy of Neo-Romanticism" by Bryan Robertson, Alan Reynolds was held in international acclaim for his beautifully executed paintings of Kentish orchards, hop fields, grasses and teasel heads. His work was bought by the Tate Gallery in London, the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne and the Fleischman Collection in Pittsburgh. With sell out exhibitions to international institutions and respected collectors alike it shocked the London art scene of the 1960s when Reynolds became an abstract artist. He first exhibited his non-figurative work at the Redfern Gallery in 1960. This transitional exhibition saw him using an earthen palette, reminiscent of his earlier landscapes on paired down geometric forms and constructions. Although this was seen as a seismic shift in his output, for Reynolds it was a natural progression in his oeuvre and something that he had hinted at as far back as 1953 when he referred to painting as "a problem of solving equations; tonal, linear, and so on. The subject or motif must be transformed and become an organic whole. Poetry is never absent from Nature, but alone it cannot constitute a work of art. It must be reconciled with the elements of design and composition. Laying emphasis on the formal values in a work will therefore result in a degree of abstraction."The present work manages to seamlessly synthesise nostalgia with contemporary doctrines in a rare example from this period in which Reynolds first moves into abstraction Condition Report: There is some cracking and associated losses where the board meets the brown mount. Some light surface dirt. Ultraviolet light reveals no evidence of retouching. There is however a heavy varnish which may benefit from a light clean.Condition Report Disclaimer
