The Colony Room became a nucleus for artistic minds such as Francis Bacon, John Deakin and Lucien Freud, Bacon and Muriel becoming synonymous with the club and its volatile reputation. Bacon's presence attracted a new wave of artists such as Michael Clark, Damien Hirst and Peter Blake to name a few, all keen to be at the heart of the Soho scene through the 1970s, '80s and '90s. Under both Muriel and Board's reigns, the club enjoyed a reputation for eccentrics and diversity, encouraging a liberal environment amidst an oppressed post-War Britain. Beginning as Muriel's loyal barman, Ian Board continued to run the club in this manner after her death, riding on the success of its scandal, an outspoken and notoriously fearsome character himself. Darren Coffield, a member of the club for many years and author of Tales From The Colony Club: Soho's Lost Bohemia, 2020, described Board as 'verbally agile, a vigorous persecutor of bores and a tremendous raconteur', (D. Coffield, Tales From The Colony Club: Soho's Lost Bohemia, Unbound, London, 2020).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Love all the feelings. 2016 Damien Hirst' (on sheet verso)enamel paint on handmade paper21 x 29.5cm (8 1/4 x 11 5/8in).Footnotes:ProvenanceWith HENI, LondonAcquired from the above by the present ownerPrivate Collection, U.K.Love all the feelings is part of the ambitious and pioneering project called The Currency which Damien Hirst embarked upon in 2016. Creating 10,000 works which were unique but almost indistinguishable, the pieces were originally offered for sale with each work corresponding to a unique NFT. Within two months each buyer had to choose either to keep the physical art work or the digital NFT, thereby actively participating in the project. As Hirst has commented: 'The Currency is an artwork, and anyone who buys it will participate in this work, it's not just about owning it. It is the most exciting project I have ever worked on by far.'Each piece is executed on handmade paper, and is numbered, titled, stamped and signed by the artist on the back, with a watermark, a microdot and a hologram containing a portrait of the artist. Hirst is famous for his innovative projects working in unusual mediums, be they sharks suspended in formaldehyde or mesmerising paintings using real butterfly wings, and The Currency is no less innovative. Expanding into the digital world with this project and inviting the owners of each piece to actively participate too, he invites us to think about the very concept of value, currency and art and how we - and they - interact in the world today.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Richard Ansett (British, born 1966)BIRTH, 2018 lightbox128 x 102.5cm (50 3/8 x 40 3/8in).UniqueFootnotes:ExhibitedLondon, Fitzrovia Chapel, 25-30 January 2019London, Somerset House, Sony World Photography Awards Exhibition, 2019Richard Ansett is a renowned photographer and long-time collaborator of Grayson Perry. BIRTH depicts Grayson Perry dressed as his alter ego, Claire, posed in a contemporary reworking of the mother and child motif. Both iconic and iconoclastic, Claire holds an infant in her arms, lit softly from behind and surrounded by flowers and pale pink drapery. Posed as a traditional icon might, with gaze averted into the distance, we are invited to compare this image with one of the most universally recognisable subjects in art and religious history. Originally unveiled by Grayson Perry himself at the Fitzrovia Chapel in London in January 2019, the lightbox was displayed on an altar, illuminating the secular, baroque chapel. Richard Ansett commented on this work: 'Claire is not a natural mother. This is a trans-immaculate conception', going on to comment that: 'The work balances centuries of art history and religious symbolism with a high-camp photographic parody and is a vulgar appropriation for the 21st Century that challenges the archaic boundaries of the heteronormative state that oppresses everyone.'Ansett met Perry for the first time in 2013 at the Tate Modern, Starr Auditorium, while photographing him for the BBC Reith lectures. He has since worked with Perry every year following this for Channel 4, photographing him to promote Perry's documentaries of contemporary British life.BIRTH was awarded First Prize for a Single Portrait in the Sony World Photography Awards in 2019.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
