λ BETH CARTER (BRITISH B. 1968) KNEELING MINOTAUR Bronze Signed with initials and numbered 3/15 34.5 x 34.5cm (13½ x 13½ in.)Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner The minotaur is one of Carter's favourite motifs and the subject of a great many of her drawings and sculptures. Her practice of morphing human and animal figures combined with an interest in classical mythology makes the minotaur a fitting subject. Both the present works, Minotaur Kneeling and Minotaur Reading, present the unexpected juxtaposition of the accepted stereotype of the minotaur as fearsome beast contrasted with Carter's quietly reflective, even vulnerable portrayal. Lot 182 is the first Minotaur Reading series produced by the artist and paved the way for many further such depictions.Carter's minotaurs speak of the human condition - frequently portrayed as a symbol of power and masculinity is here shown slumped and defeated, robbed of his aggression. He is a portrayal not just of a fictional beast, but a reflection of our modern world. Condition Report: Some light surface dirt to the crevasses. Otherwise appears to be in good original condition.

λ DORA GORDINE (ESTONIAN 1895-1991) STANDING FEMALE DANCER Bronze with green patina Signed and numbered 2/6 to the base Height 65cm (25½ in.) 'If people really want to know me, let them look at my sculpture, because words are not my medium at all. It is sculpture that is my medium.' Dora GordineDora Gordine's Standing Dancer captures the movement and elegance of the female form. Gordine explored themes of motherhood and womanhood through her bold, strong and yet feminine sculptures, usually cast in bronze. Gordine was initially influenced by a group of artists in her homeland Estonia coined 'Noor Eesti' who followed the concepts and ideals of the Art Nouveau movement. In 1924, Gordine relocated to Paris and was immediately encapsulated by the rich French culture frequently visiting the multitude of galleries, operas and museums.In 1925, Gordine worked for the British Pavilion at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris, as a mural painter. This opportunity provided her with the means to start producing bronze sculptures again and Gordine went on to exhibit her works at the Beaux Arts Society and the Salon Des Tuileries in 1926 where she presented a head and torso sculpture of a Chinese philosopher which was met with great acclaim. Back in London in 1928, the Leicester Galleries held Gordine's first solo show, which proved to be a great success; all of the pieces selling including one to Samuel Courtauld. In 1936, Dora married the Hon. Richard Gilbert Hare and together they built Dorich House in Kingston Vale which doubled up as their home to showcase their personal collection of Russian Art and furniture but also her studio to create and display her sculptures. Through her husband's connections Gordine became immersed within London's fashionable elite. Figures such as Sir Kenneth Clark, Dame Beryl Grey and Professor Frederick Brown, head of the Slade School of Art all jumped at the opportunity to sit for Gordine. The present lot signifies Gordine's approach to sculpture, she felt sculpture was a tool to depict not only identifiable features but capture the vision of a sitter. The figure stands poised, caught in a moment of movement oblivious to the onlooker. 'You have to imagine what they are like inside and bring out their inner feeling and then put it in a form.' Dora Gordine, BBC Interview, 1972 Condition Report: Light surface dirt throughout otherwise appears to be in good original condition. No obvious evidence of restoration or repair.
