* TERRY OWEN MATHEWS (BRITISH 1931 - 2008) A SUNBIRD bronze sculpture, signed (T O Mathews) and numbered #1 (understood to be unique and not one of an edition) , dated 199834cm highNote: Terry Mathews was born in England in 1931, brought up in Uganda, and educated in Kenya and England. His life as a child in Uganda was enriched by his close association with his next-door neighbour, Captain Charles Pitman, the renowned Chief Game Warden of that country. With a family greatly involved in African wildlife, Mathews passion for animals transcended into his secondary profession as a sculptor. Despite losing sight in his lead eye, Mathews sculptures continued to evolve and grow into cast bronze pieces that captured the movement and freedom of the beloved wildlife he surrounded himself by. With his experience of being in the bush with wildlife on many photographic and collecting Safaris, Mathews was able to take the time to study animals and birds, enabling his pieces to take on a lifelike appearance despite the lack of anatomical research. Mathews believed that, “The movement is more important than the anatomical detail.” Situated in Kenya, Mathew’s work was cast and finished in a foundry founded by his son. There, he was able to follow the casting process closely to ensure his sculpture embody the vision of his initial creation. Mathews also worked with well-known sculptors like John Skeaping, William Timym, Johnathan Kenworthy and Rob Glenn. Mathews work has been shown in Europe, Africa and the United States. Terry was a strong supporter of conservation organizations, having contributed many bronzes to a number of conservation organizations including: Game Conservation International (contributed ten bronzes), Friends of Conservation, Kuki Gallmann's Ranch, The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Rhino Rescue, Rhino Ark, Kenya Wildlife Service, Nairobi National Park, East African Wildlife Society, Cullman & Hurt Community Wildlife Project (Terry was Vice Chairman for a number of years and contributed three bronzes ) and, World Wide Fund for Nature. In addition, he was on the Advisory Committee of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and in 1990 donated a full size Rhino Cow and Calf to act as a begging bowl for the Rhino Conservation Movement which now stands at the entrance to the Nairobi National Park. Later Terry was commissioned by the WWF and the East Africa Wildlife Society to build a monument to the burning of the ivory. The bronze was cast by Terry's son Denis in Nairobi and provided at cost. It now stands at the site of the original burning of the 12 tons of ivory.

* SIR EDUARDO PAOLOZZI KBE RA HRSA (SCOTTISH 1924 - 2005) CLASSICAL FOOT plaster sculpture 10cm x 5cm x 7.5cm Provenance: The estate of the artistNote 1: Born in Scotland to Italian parents, Paolozzi attended evening classes at the Edinburgh College of Art and studied at St. Martin’s School of Art, later transferring to London’s Slade School of Art, where he graduated in 1947. He moved to Paris for three years where he became involved in Dadaism and Surrealism. In 1950, Paolozzi returned to London, quickly becoming a leading member of the Independent Group. As a significant member of the Group, Paolozzi greatly influenced the development of Pop Art. He taught all over the world as guest professor and lecturer, and was knighted in 1988. Eduardo Paolozzi died in 2005. Note 2 : Paolozzi began to make the quasi-cubist sculptures which were to figure among his signature works, in the 1970s. The plaster sculptures now offered for sale fit loosely into this aspect of his work, but were executed in the 1990’s. Paolozzi was particularly keen that plaster should achieve a higher status than had previously been the case and his works in the medium were often not cast in any other material. They were cast from a variety of sources, some being taken from the 'ready-mades' in his studio, while others were made to the artist's original, sometimes existing designs. There is a larger version of the Mondrian head in the National galleries of Scotland cast in Bronze and a similar work in Bronze conceived in 1993 sold in Christies on 21/10/21 for £56250 (Lot 154, The Molenick Collection) The Tate also have a version of the Mondrian Head which is cast in plaster. The Rabbit was among a number of small animal sculptures made specifically for the Arche Noah, (Noah's Ark), exhibition staged in Munich in 1990. In contrast heads were a constant in Paolozzi's work, from the 1950s onwards, and the large Cubist Head fits within a series made from the late 1980s into the 1990s. The Mondrian Head is clearly a comment upon the effects of technology upon our humanity. Perhaps the most personal of the plaster works here is the two clenched fists, which relates directly to those of Paolozzi's sculpture Daedalus, his body constructed from fragments on a Frankenstinian model. In Greek myth, Daedalus was the builder of the Cretan labyrinth and Paolozzi seems to have seen him as a kindred spirit and probably considered.

* HANNAH FRANK (SCOTTISH 1908 - 2008), SEATED FIGURE (1968) cast bronze sculpture, on wooden base22.2cm high including baseProvenance: Shown on page 131 Hannah Frank Drawings & Sculptures and described as "Seated Figure" 1968 bronze 22.2cm HFDS Plate 84 RSA 1970 terracotta, RGI 1975 bronze.Note: Since McTear's first promoted Hannah Frank's spectacular work in 2011, the prices for her ever more rare signed prints have continued to rise with many current prices being more than five times higher than those achieved barely a decade ago. The latest UK auction record figure for a single signed lithograph was most recently achieved (twice) in our auction on 24th October 2021 and now stands at £820 (hammer). Note 2: Hannah Frank was the last living link to the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau period. She studied at the Glasgow School of Art and Glasgow University in the 1920`s and her haunting pen and ink drawings have been exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal Scottish Academy and Royal Glasgow Institute. A series of lithographs of some of her 90 drawings were made in the 1960's and again in the 1980's to satisfy the demand for her work after exhibitions in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Only a relatively few of these prints were hand signed (in pencil) by Hannah and it's understood that only one print was ever editioned (numbered) in a conventional manner. A major exhibition at the Royal Glasgow Institute in 2006 brought her work to a new generation of admirers and received considerable press coverage. Her work toured for five years in the UK and the USA culminating in an exhibition at Glasgow University which opened on her 100th birthday 23rd August 2008. After her death, she was awarded a posthumous Honorary Doctorate at Glasgow University and Glasgow City Council`s Lord Provost`s Award For Art (2009).
