Lisa Ivory Motherhood, 2021 Wood Engraving (AP) Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) As both myth and symbol, the Wild Man could be both savage and sublime, evoke fear and admiration, and represent our antithesis and ideal. It is a universal condition , as evident within "civilization" as without.   Ivory's abject aberrations are exiles from this dark, unsettling sensibility. Ivory's work uses a bestiary that describes Everyman's woes-his trials and travails, failures and flailing. A Wild Man, Savage Woman and feral Child are positioned as the flawed hero and the plight of the Outsider. The monstrous; primitive, irrational Wild man is at once our fall guy, our belonging and our otherness. This plight is shared by the Foundling, the Waif, the Abandoned and the fallen woman. The Outsiders are victims of their own innocence (seduction, rape, abandonment) or their own experience (Ignorance, carnality, sensuality). This work has a natural conversation with the innocence and experience of William Blake's Lost Girls and Boys and the stuff that small (and big) children worry about...what looks through the window at night or claws at your door. Lost and feral babes allegorise our animality. Man and beast meld as a medieval drollery.   Education   Foundation Course, Saint Martins School of Art, London Bachelor of Arts (Hons) Fine Art, Painting, Saint Martins School of Art, London   Exhibitions include: Every Day, Terrace Gallery, 2020, London Savage Gardens, solo show, 2020, Pamela Salisbury Gallery, New York Two Fold, 2019, OA Gallery, Salford Mythos, 2018, Charlie Smith London National Original Print Exhibition 2017, London Vice, Malice, Lust and Cunning, solo show, 2017, Lubomirov-Angus-Hughes Gallery, London Antennae, Platform Projects, 2017, Athens National Original Print Exhibition 2016, London Sixty, Art-Athina Platform Projects 2016 Hundreds and Thousands, Lubomirov-Angus-Hughes Gallery, 2016 London The British Connection, 2015 Pori Art Museum, Finland Five Paintings at The Three Crowns 2015, London Limited Editions 2015, Lubomirov-Easton, London Bad Behaviour 2014, Brixton East Gallery, London Neo:Print Prize 2014, neo:gallery, Bolton The Whole Thing's Coming Out of the Dark, Angus-Hughes Gallery, London Printjam 2014, Art Bermondsey, London A5-Platform Projects@Art Athina 2014, Lubomirov-Easton, Athens Void Open 2013, Void Gallery, London Untitled Male Id, Angus-Hughes Gallery, London   Blind Date, Presented by ALISN, Supermarket 2013- Independent Art Fair, Stockholm Soul Meat, Lion and Lamb Gallery, London Temple of the Occult, Norman Rea Gallery, York Big Deal Sexy100, Wall to Wall, London, curated by STIMULUS LTD Scope Basel 2011, Presented by Guillochon Gallery London, Basel The Great Alonso, Primo Alonso, London City Hobgoblins, Angus-Hughes Gallery, London Freaks, Shoreditch Town Hall, London The Discerning Eye, Mall Galleries, London Sideshow, Primo Alonso, London Start Your Collection, Contemporary Arts Projects, London Wish You Were Here 3, A.I.R Gallery, New York Kindness of Strangers, The Helm, Washington ArtWorks Open, Barbican Arts Trust Project Space, London

Nettie Wakefield Two Meters Apart, 2021 Graphite on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Nettie Wakefield (b.1987) is a British artist who lives and works between London and LA. It is human ephemera and the aspects of everyday life which tend to be over looked or taken for granted that for Nettie become a rich resource for artistic meditation. Taking as her subject matter, the backs of people's heads as in her 'Reverse Portraits' - the owner always unknown, discarded beer cans, sweet wrappers and crumpled cigarette packets, Nettie imbues these commonplace subjects with a sense of both the uncanny as well as a certain poetry which speak of the humans to which they belong or have been discarded by. A striking discord exists between the evidence of life lived in constant flux and the manner in which these 21st century specimens are then immortalized by Nettie's stark and uncompromising artistic attention. Rejecting the new wave digital era, Nettie's commitment is to traditional forms of draughtsmanship such as drawing watercolour and most lately bronze casting. Through meticulous and highly focused powers of observation, Nettie isolates a moment or thing in space and time, often suspending it within an otherwise blank background as she grants it an importance it is usually denied. For Nettie, pencil is a medium she continually returns to. There is no hiding with pencil. It's where so many artists have started; the source of the stream. Most people associate it with the beginning of something, a plan. For Nettie it is the main medium: the end product, it's monochromacy perfect for an artist who is far more interested in tonality than colour. While the speed of life becomes increasingly fast, Nettie views her work as an act of mindfulness, a slowing down of sorts, through which to take time over the act of looking, an effect also replicated in the viewer on encountering Nettie's works. Education She spent summers at the Charles Cecil studios in Florence before completing a foundation year at Chelsea College of Art, a BA in Art History at Leeds University and her Masters degree in Drawing at Wimbledon College of Art, graduating September 2013. Exhibitions/Awards UNIT GALLERY, Online exhib opening 11th June 2020, Unit London will stage an expansive online exhibition of Works on Paper.

1956 Bentley S1 Continental Fastback. Coachwork by H J Mulliner, Registration Number: 10JML, Chassis Number: BC28BG, Engine Number: BC27B. ‘Their responsiveness, beauty of line and traditional coach-built interior fitments make them the ultimate in fifties personal transportation’ The Flying Lady.The Bentley S1 Sports Saloon was first introduced in 1955. It quickly became synonymous with effortless high speeds and luxury touring. Of all the designs, and possibly all the Bentley’s, the Mulliner S1 Continental Fastback is the most iconic example of high-performance elegance. The S type was built on a new chassis, which included improved brakes and suspension. They were also fitted with the latest, enlarged model, of the inlet-over-exhaust, six-cylinder engine, which produced 4887cc. As well as this, the Continental came with a shorter radiator and high gearing. All of which resulted in exceptional sports car performance; a top speed of 120mph and it could reach 50mph in just over 9 seconds. In 1955 Autocar wrote: ‘It brings Bentley back to the forefront of the world’s fastest cars’.The luxury aspect of this car is apparent on first sight, the famous lines of the Mulliner coachwork are sublime. The interiors were fitted with touring in mind, comfort and space are paramount. It is noted in the original build sheets for 10JML, that an opening head and rear sun blind are added, which would no doubt contribute to the comfort in which you would travel to the Cote d’Azur, and they are still present to this day. Again commenting, Autocar state: ‘the latest Bentley model offers a degree of safety, comfort and performance that is beyond the experience and perhaps even the imagination of the majority of the worlds motorists’.This early example has a fantastic and comprehensive history. Initially registered in 1956 to Mr Johnstone, the managing director of H J Mulliner and Co Ltd. She was first displayed at the Earls Court Motor Show and not long after sold to a Mr D Letts, known for racing MG’s at Brooklands. During this ownership 10JML was looked after by Jack Barclay; the first note in this car’s extensive history is a simple remedy of a failing stop lamp. In 1961 the car was sold, via Jack Barclay, to a J W Jennings of Samuel Jones & Co Ltd. There is documented dialogue between Barclay’s then manager and Jennings recording the sale. Mr Jennings kept and maintained the car, using Rolls Royce Ltd companies, until 1968. It was then passed to The Freeman Heating Co who commissioned maintenance work, including an engine rebuild, to preserve the cars originality.In 1979 the vehicle was purchased by David Rolfe, an avid collector of Bentley cars and a regional chairman of the BDC. He kept, looked after, and enjoyed this Continental for 35 years. She was then sold to a Mr Head, who upon taking ownership of her in 2008, initiated a specialist report. All highlighted issues were recorded and then remedied. Mr Head rallied the car in Australia in 2010, taking part in ‘Bentleys Australia Over the Top’, 44 Bentleys travelling through the outback, and no issues were recorded. In 2017 Mr Head then instructed a full restoration, to include a bare metal respray, refinishing of the veneers and £17,000 worth of mechanical conservation. The care shown during this process is apparent in the resplendent finish seen when one views the car in the flesh. The car passed to the present owner in 2018.10JML is an impeccable example of one of the most desirable Bentley’s ever to grace our roads. We are delighted to offer her as part of the Newton House Collection, with hope that buyers will not miss the opportunity acquire such a beautiful and rare car.

In a letter to Lady Clive, who had asked Snaffles for permission to reproduce the image in her book 'The Day of Reckoning', he recalls that the inspiration for the painting came after a day with the Pytchely when mounted on Charles 'Taffy' Walwyn's 'Rifle Brigade' when he was "Smelling heaven, for neither barbed wire nor tractors had invaded this fox-hunting Elysium...". It has been suggested that because he was nearly eighty by the time he wrote this letter to Lady Clive his memory of the day betrayed him and the origins of the painting remain something of an enigma. It endures, however, as the classic evocation of the best hunting country, faced by a rider on a sound and clever mount, with hedges and ditches to jump, stretching away, uninterrupted by wire, plough or roads.

Lutheran Manuscript. An unusual German manuscript, circa 1740, mounted engraved frontispiece after J. C.

Schneider, bookseller or scribe of Leipzig (and written by him at Frankfurt-am-Main), both preliminary leaves within ornamental watercolour borders, the main text following comprising 50 unnumbered leaves with manuscript quotations in brown and red ink and large central pen and brown ink geometric designs, each page with ruled ink border, the whole text written calligraphically in German gothic script, with flourishes, quotation sources identified in brown, blue or green ink, two additional leaves following with geometric design sketches and five further leaves with contemporary engraved portrait of Martin Luther with red ink caption beneath in the same calligraphic hand, several further blanks including some later crude watermark designs in pencil, versos blank throughout, some spotting and soiling throughout, later pencil inscription to final blank recto: 'Wohlgeborenen Herrn Lessing Directeur des grossagrzoglichen Kunstgalleri in Karlsruhe die 14 August 1873', armorial bookplate of monogramme 'M' surmounted by a baron's coronet, contemporary blind-stamped vellum, stained red and now partly faded, slightly rubbed and soiled, 4to (24.5 x 20 cm)Qty: (1)NOTESA curious and intriguing manuscript. The four-line quotations at the head and foot of each page with a geometric design are taken from several sources but predominately from Benjamin Schmolck's Heilige Flammen der himmlisch-gesinnten Seele, a collection of hymns and spiritual songs which appeared in some 13 editions during Schmolck's lifetime. Benjamin Schmolck (1672-1737) was a German Lutheran writer of hymns. The page references given in the manuscript tally with a 1726 edition published in Leipzig by Lankisch but may well tally with other identical editions of the same period. The later pencil inscription at the back of the manuscript would seem to indicate this later belonged to Karl Friedrich Lessing (1808-1880), a German historical and landscape painter who was appointed director of the gallery at Karlsruhe in 1856.

'John Meares was sent out in 1786 from Calcutta, by a group of merchants, to enter into the fur trade of the northwest coast of America. Establishing himself at Nootka Sound and flying the British flag, he built the first vessel to be launched in northern waters, made important discoveries, and explored the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The Discoveries by Meares were part of the basis for the claim of Great Britain to Oregon. Competition with the Spanish almost caused war between the two countries and this struggle became known as the Nootka Controversy. The Spanish seizure of his ships led to the convention by which the Spanish claims to any northern territory were finally disallowed [sic]. This important narrative gives a very full account of the Indian nations of Northwest America' (Hill).
