Benedict Chukwukadibia Enwonwu M.B.E (Nigeria, 1917-1994)Anyanwu bronze et résine95 x 32 x 19cm (37 3/8 x 12 5/8 x 7 1/2in) sans la base.Footnotes:ProvenanceAcquis directement auprès de l'artiste par le Dr. John Akar (1927–1975), ambassadeur de Sierra Leone aux USA.Vente: Bonhams, 21 mai 2014, lot 47Collection privée, FranceAnyanwu est l'une des œuvres les plus accomplies et les plus reconnaissables de Enwonwu. Le mot Anyanwu (« œil du soleil ») fait référence à la pratique Igbo de saluer le soleil levant en l'honneur de Chukwu, le Grand Esprit. La figure féminine est la puissante déesse de la terre Igbo Ani. Pour Enwonwu, la sculpture était une façon d'exprimer ses espoirs pour une nation en route vers l'indépendance :'Mon objectif était de symboliser notre nation montante. J'ai essayé de combiner matériaux, artisanat et traditions, pour exprimer une conception basée sur la féminité - la femme, la mère et la nourricière de l'homme. Dans notre nation montante, je vois les forces incarnée dans la féminité ; le début, puis le développement et l'épanouissement jusqu'à la stature la plus complète d'une nation - un peuple ! Cette sculpture est de conception spirituelle, rythmique en mouvement et tridimensionnelle dans son cadre architectural - ces qualités sont caractéristiques de la sculpture de mes ancêtres.'-Ben EnwonwuLa représentation de la déesse par Enwonwu, avec son corps allongé et sa tête stylisée, témoigne de son appréciation des traditions artistiques Igbo, en s'appuyant sur d'anciennes sculptures sur bois et des portraits de la reine mère d'Edo. Le père d'Enwonwu était un homme spirituel et avait fréquemment sculpté des images pour les sanctuaires d'Onitsha. Les souvenirs de ces sanctuaires ont laissé une marque indélébile sur le jeune Benoît et ont façonné son point de vue selon lequel l'art et la religion étaient inextricablement liés. Dans la tradition Igbo, les sculpteurs étaient considérés comme des intermédiaires entre le monde des humains et celui des esprits. Ils ont travaillé dans un état de transe, inspiré par des poussées intenses d'énergie mentale.La forme de la sculpture lui est venue dans une vision tôt un matin alors qu'il oscillait entre le rêve et l'éveil :'Une forme féminine souple et gracieuse émergeant du soleil dans une brillante pluie de lumière... elle se dressait vers lui dans un large arc curviligne... à l'horizon, s'effilant jusqu'à un point...'Les circonstances entourant la création d'Anyanwu - l'inspiration spirituelle d'Enwonwu - le relient à la tradition Igbo de l'artiste en tant que médium spirituel. Souvent désigné comme le « père du modernisme africain », Enwonwu était très préoccupé par la forme et l'expérimentation stylistique. Cependant, contrairement à ses contemporains européens, il n'était pas motivé par le principe de « l'art pour l'art ». En s'engageant dans les traditions de ses ancêtres, Enwonwu investit Anywanwu d'une signification sociale plus complexe.La première sculpture Anyanwu (1954-5), réalisée pour le Musée national de Lagos, a reçu un tel succès qu'une autre a été commandée pour le siège des Nations Unies à New York (1966). Cette version apparaît dans plusieurs grandes collections publiques et privées, démontrant souvent une variété de patine et de petites différences dans les bras et la longueur de la coiffure « bec de poulet ».Click for an instant shipping quoteFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Globe trotting, matching-numbers, single-headlight 330 GT 2+2 in fantastic shape with Classiche Certification.This left-hand drive, Series II has seen much of the worldPreviously restored in the United States of AmericaMultiple Concours award winner in the pastSignificant expenditure in recent years totalling over £20,000Ferrari Classiche CertificationThe cherished registration '33 OF' is included in the saleNB: Rear end crash damage in 2004. Professionally repaired and awarded a 'Classiche' at a later date. Any inspection welcomeThe Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 made its debut at the Brussels Salon in January 1964, proceeding its earlier 250 2+2 GTE and 330 America cousins. The Series I, as it later became known, was much more than a re-engined 250, it was a bolder, more distinctive incarnation in both looks and performance.Pininfarina was once again entrusted with the styling, and their vision of Ferrari's evolution drew muse from the cars' predecessors yet included some daring design elements. A sharper nose and tail, a wide grille, and the espousal of a characteristic quad headlight arrangement, all of which reflected the tastes of Ferrari's most important export market, the USA.Although some criticised its styling, the Series I four-headlight 330 GT has become truly evocative of 1960s fashion, lauded both for its individuality and Pininfarina's purity of design. The fantastic Gioacchino Colombo designed, high-output, V-12 engine was fitted to all 300 GT series and produced an impressive 300bhp, adorned with triple Weber carburettors, this combination taking the vehicle from 0-100km in an astounding 6.3 seconds, making it the fastest road-going Ferrari at the time.Series II cars from 1966 onwards reverted to a more conventional twin-headlight arrangement ditching the slightly awkward quad-headlights and aesthetically looked much better for it.This particular Series II has lived somewhat of a globe-trotting life throughout its history. Initially delivered to Italy, the car later made its way to the United States of America during the late 1970s, with records of it being for sale in Virginia, US during 1979.Subsequently, it travelled from state-to-state and underwent a full bare-metal repaint in Metallic Bronze (Nocciola Metallizzato) prior to winning numerous awards at prestigious Concours events in Pennsylvania, including ‘Ferrari of Execptional Merit’ at the 1988 Ferrari Festival, First in Class at a combined marques Concours, and several top-three finishes at various other events. Following this star-studded life in PA, the car then ended up in Mexico, before coming to Germany via Florida - where it was again restored with a colour change to Nero - and then going back across the world to Arizona, then down to Chile before being imported into and sold in the UK during 2015 to our vendor and current owner. In 2004, it was 'rear-ended' in the USA but was professionally repaired and subsequently inspected.A fantastic matching-numbers example, this 330 GT 2+2 has been significantly overhauled by marque specialist GTO Engineering, with the vendor commissioning a general mechanical ‘tidy up’ along with the fitment of a reconditioned steering box, new track rod ends, new clutch slave and master cylinders, a new exhaust and various other sundry items, with a total cost of £22,500.Along with the aforementioned work taking place at GTO, the car was also inspected and awarded Ferrari Classiche Certification at the same time.In recent years, the gearbox has been rebuilt by marque specialist QV London serving known weakness to synchromesh in 2020. The fuse box has been reconditioned following a non-charging issue, and the battery has been upgraded to a new deep-cycle AGM item, furthermore the radiator has been given a new core in 2017 and the interior has also been significantly overhauled and restored, with the leather seats and door cards being re-trimmed during 2016 by specialist Trimania.Offered with the fitting cherished registration of ’33 OF’ and with full Ferrari Classiche Certification, this 1966 left-hand-drive 330 GT 2+2 is in stunning condition throughout, and remains the envy of many drivers and enthusiasts to this day, just as it would have been in period.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 330 GT 2+2Year: 1966Chassis Number: 9315Registration Number: 33OFTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 9315Drive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: TanClick here for more details and images
A desirable addition to any collection of special Minis and offered at 'No Reserve'.One of only 3,000 produced in the UK specifically for the Mini’s 30th AnniversaryComplete with a certified John Cooper Conversion – No 019RF100090 offering a power increase from 41bhp to a more healthy 60bhp at 6000 rpmRecently professionally refreshed after a period of storageFinished in black, one of only two colours availableHighlighted by subtle anniversary decals and Minilite-style alloy wheelsThe spirit of the 60s in a car for the 90sA desirable addition to any Mini collection and offered without reserveAt the heart of the conversion offered by John Cooper Garages was a new cylinder head that offered performance straight out of a race engine tuner’s handbook, developed in conjunction with Cooper’s old friend Jan Oder and Janspeed Engineering, boasting larger inlet and exhaust valves for greater fuel flow capability and new aluminium bronze vale seats that offered reliability and durability at a time when greener fuels were emerging.John Cooper Garages claimed, at the time, that torque was increased from 42lb.ft to 64lb.ft and power output up from 41bhp to a healthy 60bhp, decreasing the car's 0-60 time by six seconds to 12.6 secs, not too shabby for a standard Mini over 30 years ago. At the time this was every boys dream which those of us who are of a certain age will surely remember.SpecificationMake: ROVERModel: MINI COOPER THIRTYYear: 1989Chassis Number: SAXXLZS1N20441543Registration Number: G514 NUXTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 99ME200115255Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 64925 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
A very early, 'B' Chassis, UK car that has been superbly restored.This early 'B' Chassis car is confirmed by Audi as one of the very first Quattros to enter the UKBuilt on January 30th 1981 and arrived in the UK on April 1st 1981 confirmed by Audi Documented as the 17th Quattro registered in the UKOur vendor has spent around three years fully restoring this example to what he calls "faultless condition"Absolutely stunning in Saturn Bronze. Immaculate throughout. 88,940 miles indicatedSupplied with previous MOTs and a folder full of photos of the three-year, ground-up restorationThe Audi Quattro may not have been the first 4wd production car (that honour belongs to the 1966 Jensen Interceptor FF), but its place in history is assured. Thanks in no small part to its enormous rallying success, the Quattro popularized all-wheel drive, and is now regarded as one of the most influential and important sports cars of the 1980s.The brainchild of Jörg Bensinger, an Audi chassis engineer, development work was started in 1977. Three years later the finished product was released. Although the floor-pan had much in common with the 80 and the running gear was largely taken from an Audi 200, the Quattro used a manual centre differential lock (operated by levers next to the handbrake) to govern the 197bhp and 210lb ft power outputs delivered by the 2.1-litre in-line five cylinder turbocharged engine.The relevance of this stunning ur-Quattro is it's place in the timeline of Quattro history. It's an 85-B VIN number car that is recorded by Audi as having been built on January 30th 1981 and arriving at Audi-UK on the first of April. With the early-production 'B' chassis cars starting at 900 051 this car, numbered 900 501 is undoubtedly one of the first 500 ur-Quattros built. Initially registered as HMW 916W, Audi have confirmed that it's one of the first 17 UK cars so it has an historical importance for anyone interested in timelines. The car itself is simply stunning having been the subject of a three-year, ground-up restoration by our vendor to what he calls "faultless condition" and we would find it hard to disagree. It's finished in Saturn Bronze, a rare colour and very attractive and the interior is a combination of dark brown hard surfaces with the seats in a Rose Bronze fabric with striped 'Zebra' centre panels, echoed in the headliner. The indicated mileage is 88,940 and the history file contains some older MOTs and a folder full of photos of the restoration.All in all this is a very impressive Audi and whether you choose to use it or just admire it, as a very early car it may well turn out to be a rather sensible investment.SpecificationMake: AUDIModel: UR-QUATTROYear: 1981Chassis Number: 85BA900501Registration Number: GCJ 103WTransmission: ManualEngine Number: WR000516 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 88940 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BronzeClick here for more details and images
A lovely, low ownership, 1955 86" Series 1 fresh from a fastidious restoration. Superbly restored Series 1 from long-term ownershipOriginally supplied new to a farmer in Shropshire Underwent body off - nut & bolt restoration in 2018/20Our vendor believes he is the car's 4th owner and it appears to have been used lightly all its lifeThe indicated mileage when he bought it was 20,192 .(see MOT 2005/06). Current 24,572This is a really lovely Srs 1, properly recommissioned and delightfully presentedAs an engineering marvel, the Land Rover can still outstrip its modern counterparts, and the Series I rightly belongs in the Motoring Hall of Fame. Hugely successful globally, improvements were made throughout its long lifespan. In 1950, the lights were moved from a position behind the grille to protrude through the mesh and in 1952 a larger 2.0-litre petrol engine replaced the original 1.6-litre. The wheelbase was extended to 86 inches in 1955 to give the vehicle more stability and greater load capacity. The stronger, more reliable 2.0-litre petrol engine was standard until 1957.This venerable Series 1 is believed to have been originally supplied new to a farmer in Shropshire before finding a home, some years later, in Bromsgrove where it appears to have been renovated and resprayed in a green (not Bronze Green). It was then sold to a Mr Wyatt in Telford who owned the car for many years before old age meant it had to be moved on. It was purchased by its current owner, our vendor, in 2006 and he used it regularly but lightly, until the decision was made to fully restore the 'Landie' with the process starting in 2018.Our vendor has kindly provided us with a list of the work carried out (below) and invoices and full details are in the cars history file.;Underwent body off - nut & bolt restoration in 2018/20.Chassis stripped, repaired where necessary, powder coated.

Our vendor believes he is the car's 4th owner and it appears to have been used lightly all its life. The indicated mileage when he bought it was 20,192 (see MOT 2005/06) and the current mileage is 24,572 meaning that only 4,380 miles have been covered in the last 15 years.Often restored and rebuilt but rarely to this standard, this lovely 86" Series 1 is now ready to be enjoyed once again, be that at a local County Show or scattering the pheasants down a country lane.

A good example of an early 'Lights behind the Grille' Land Rover fitted with the correct 1.6-litre side-plate engine and just three owners in 72 years.Registered to the first of just three owners on the 30 November 1949Headlights under a mesh grille is a characteristic of early Land RoversThe early Series 1 80-inch Land Rover was fitted with a 1.6-litre side-plate petrol engineRestored in the early 2000s and finished in the correct shade of Bronze Green on the original chassis, now galvanisedFeaturing the correct pull-ring gearbox and a new bulkhead was fitted at the time of the restorationPresented to auction in good order with an odometer reading of 2,125 miles that has naturally gone “round the clock”In the aftermath of World War Two, Rover's chief engineer Maurice Wilks used a "demobbed' Willys Jeep around his farm in Anglesey and was impressed with its abilities. Eventually, it wore out and he was keen to replace it with a British vehicle, however, nothing remotely similar was available. Coincidentally, his brother Spencer, who was Managing Director at Rover, had reached the same conclusion as he struggled to get his Rover 10 to reach the more inaccessible parts of his estate on Islay. It was whilst the brothers were on holiday on their North Wales farm together, that the plan was hatched to produce a light agricultural utility vehicle in the style of Maurice's, fondly remembered, Jeep. They would have no idea that Maurice's resulting design would become an icon and launch a whole new industry sector. The vehicle appeared as the 'Land Rover' in 1948, and proved so popular with the military and the farming fraternity that demand massively outstripped supply. It had an 80 inch wheelbase and a sturdy box section ladder-frame chassis and the open back arrangement with three seats in the front was undoubtedly influenced by the design of the Jeep. As an engineering marvel it can still outstrip its modern counterparts, and the Series I rightly belongs in the Motoring Hall of Fame. Hugely successful globally, dozens of improvements were made throughout the long production run. The 'Holy Grail' for any Land Rover enthusiast is an early Series I identifiable by a number of visual clues including the headlights being behind the grille, no exterior door handles and a ‘side plate' engine. Initially registered on the 30th November 1949 to the first of just three owners, we are told by our vendor, a Land Rover fanatic, that the previous owner had known this Series 1 from new. In the early 2000s, it was restored over the original chassis which was shot-blasted and galvanised, a new bulkhead fitted and finished in the correct shade of Bronze Green. Such was the quality of the restoration that, in 2007, it was featured in the Land Rover Series 1 Club magazine ‘Legend’. Very few pre-1950 Land Rovers have survived, and fewer still have the period correct 1.6-litre ‘side-plate’ petrol engine and pull-ring gearbox still fitted. If we were to compare this Land Rover with an E-Type, it would be akin to the rare and desirable 'flat floor' and whilst we acknowledge that both offer different driving experiences, and values, they are an equal in historical importance. Finished in Deep Bronze Green with a new canvas ‘tilt’ and freshly serviced, it's ready for family jaunts and offered at a very keen estimate.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: SERIES 1 80"Year: 1949Chassis Number: R06104175Registration Number: KOA 632Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 06104070 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2125 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images
