Sculpture: ▲ Audrey Blackman (1907-1990), The Dove Bronze Signed and dated on base, 1934 84cm high by 22cm by 31cm, Blackman was an established female sculptor with affinities to both Aristide Maillol and Charles Despiau. Her sculpture appears classical at first glance but is intensely modern in its rejection of anatomical academicism in favour of the expression of emotion. The classical pose is here re-interpreted through a sensitive portrayal of the intimate focus of the figure dwelling on the dove that sits in her hand. The texture of the surface makes no pretension to naturalism, and the treatment of the figure’s hair is further stylized in a manner that relates to the Art Deco aesthetic prevalent in Europe at that time., Born in London, née Seligman, Blackman studied at Goldsmith’s College of Art, 1926-1930, and Reading University Art School 1931-1935. She exhibited regularly at Royal Academy; National Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers; Society of Women Artists; as well as participating in various national and international exhibitions. She also became renowned for her work in pottery and ceramic and developed a fine type of porcelain known today as Audrey Blackman Porcelain., The artist’s work is now represented in several public collections., Literature: Dictionary of Western Sculptors in Bronze, James Mackay, 1977; Dictionary of British Artists Working 1900-1950, Grant Waters, 1975; Dictionary of British Artists 1880-1940, J. Johnson and A. Greutzner, 1976.

Mineral/Meteorite: A NWA Meteorite Bechar L5 discovered Algeria 1998, on bronze stand 15cm high overall, It is thought the origin of the L chondrite meteorites are former debris of 433 Eros the near-Earth asteroid which has undergone an intense study by the spacecraft NEAR-Shoemaker recently. The reflectance spectra of this body and the L chondrites on earth appear to be consistent. However, most L chondrites exhibit severe shock metamorphism suggesting a violent history of its parent body., The Chondrite meteorites contain chondrules. These are microscopic spheres which are reputedly the building blocks of our planetary systems. Chondrites, by repute, originate from asteroids orbiting our solar system. Science can identify Chondrite meteorites which contain up to approximately 20% of iron and nickel, these minute iron and nickel sized spherical mineralised chondrules are often found in iron chondrites., These Chondrules are formed from molten particles of the solar nebula, by accumulation or coalescence, particles merge together to form asteroid belts which in turn fall to earth as meteorites. These Chondrites differ from iron meteorites due to their low iron content. Most importantly chondrites offer a greater understanding, allowing scientists to further analyse and give great insight into the age of our solar system.

Sculpture: ▲ Tom Merrifield, Julius Bronze on pedestal stamped Tom Merrifield 180cm high , Acquired from the artist’s studio around 30 years ago., Tom Merrifield trained as a classical dancer and at the age of sixteen joined the Borovansky Ballet as a leading soloist. Three years later, he moved to Britain where he was principal dancer in a number of West End musicals including, On The Town, West Side Story, Man of La Mancha, No Strings and Showboat as well as appearing in numerous television productions. Following a distinguished and rewarding career as a dancer, Tom left the stage and took up drawing and sculpting as a full-time occupation. He has sculpted many of the world’s most famous dancers, including Agnes Oaks, Thomas Edur, Dame Alicia Markova, Dame Beryl Grey, Natalia Makarova, Dame Antoinette Sibley, Marguerite Porter, Eva Evdokimova, Galina Samsova, Marion Tait, Anton Dolin, John Gilpin, Sir Anthony Dowell, Ivan Nagy, Peter Schaufuss, Wayne Sleep, Ken Wells, the Olympic Skater John Curry and many more. Tom has exhibited and sold his work in London, Paris, New York, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Brussels, and Monte Carlo. Possibly the most challenging and poignant is the bust of Diana, Princess of Wales, commissioned after her death by the British Red Cross, as a tribute to a remarkable woman and her dedicated efforts to come to the aid of those in need. This work is displayed at the Red Cross headquarters in London. His work has also been recognized by the Royal Society of British Sculptors who elected him ARBS for Distinction in the Art of Sculpture.
