[§] KENNY HUNTER (SCOTTISH B.1962) CLASSICAL BUST Cement fondue 50cm x 24cm x 34cm (19.75in x 9.5in x 13.5in) Note: This work appears to relate to a series which was first displayed publicly in an exhibition entitled Hyperboreans at the Compass Gallery, Glasgow in 1992. The Hyperboreans were a northern race living a long way from the southern centre of the classical world. In these works, Opus IV, V and VIII, the artist is concerned with his awareness of a distorted, white, Eurocentric construction of history, that ignores the roots of classical civilisation in Afro-Asiatic and Semitic traditions, that has developed since the 18th century. The sculptures took inspiration from real life models as well as making a clear reference to the classical language of sculpture, which the artist subtly alters in order to include the notion of foreignness. Note: John Calcutt was born in Chipping Norton and moved to Scotland in 1969 to study Fine Art at Edinburgh University and Edinburgh College of Art, but realising his interests lay in the thoughts, processes and concepts of creation, rather than the processes of making, transferred from Fine Art to History of Art, gaining a MA (Hons) in 1973, specialising in European Art c. 1750-1850. He completed his formal education at the Courtauld Institute of Art (University of London) in 1974, gaining an MA in Realism in European Art c. 1830-1860. John returned to academia soon after as Senior Lecturer in History and Theory of Art and Design at the University of Central Lancashire, where he worked for twelve years before returning to Scotland in 1987 to take up the position of Lecturer in the Historical and Critical Studies Department at the Glasgow School of Art. In 2005 he became Senior Lecturer on the MFA Programme at GSA, before succeeding his close friend Sam Ainsley as Programme Leader in 2007, working with another close friend, the artist Graham Ramsay. He was also Programme leader on the MLitt in Fine Art Practice Course at Glasgow School of Art from 2012-16 and continued to work at the school after he retired in January 2017, when he became Director of Bureau de Change, a pioneering Postgraduate Forum he initiated to nurture recent graduate talent. Although John spent 44 years working within higher education institutions, he was no stuffy academic and loved sharing his deep and wide knowledge with students. He was an inspirational teacher, writer and critic who significantly shaped and informed the contemporary visual art scene in Scotland and beyond, nurturing the careers of many of the countries most celebrated and critically acclaimed artists. His collecting interests included contemporary visual art, books and music, with a particular passion for Pop Art; his home a homage to Jasper Johns, Frank Stella and Andy Warhol.Provenance: The John Calcutt Collection

A PORTRAIT SEAL OF PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART the oval carnelian matrix with intaglio carved half-length portrait bust of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, after the engraving by Sir Robert Strange, collet set in a gilded mount with intricate scroll suspension which forms a stylised crown, in fitted case 45mm overall length, intaglio 26mm high Literature: Kelvin, M. (2003). The Jacobite Legacy. 1st ed. Wigtown: G C Book Publishers Ltd, p.142 (2) Note: The finely carved detail so closely follows the known engraving by Sir Robert Strange of Prince Charles while he was in Edinburgh in 1746 that it offers the tantalising possibility that this was engraved by Sir Robert Strange himself or certainly under his close supervision. Another seal of this pattern is recorded within the collection of Blair Castle.

THE NERQUIS HALL/ WHITE ROSE CYCLE CLUB PORTRAIT PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART oil on canvas, within gilt frame, the profile bust within feigned oval, showing Prince Charles in armour with Order of the Garter Sash and Order of The Thistle pendant 24.5cm x 20cm Provenance: Nerquis Hall by descent Edward Williams (Cycle Club member from 1735) Robert Hyde (Cycle Club member from 1746) Reverend Maurice Wynne (Cycle Club member from 1815) By descent to Noel Lloyd Fletcher Wynne-Tringham, last Mr L Buckleyower of Nerquis Hall Gift to Mr Leonard W Buckley, 1963 Sold directly to current owner, 1997 Note: Nerquis Hall was built in 1637-38 on the order of John Wynn. A staunch Catholic family their support of the Stuart cause started from an early period. While a direct connection to the Wynn's of Nerquis Hall and Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn who started the Cycle Club have not been found, it seems highly likely there was a close family tie. Indeed, there are various members of the family who are recorded in the membership rolls of the White Rose Cycle Club. Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn was amongst the most prominent Jacobites south of the border and certainly the staunchest supporter in Wales. He is credited with setting up the Cycle Club, perhaps the most active and well known of the numerous Jacobite clubs/ societies. Founded on 19th June 1710, the anniversary of the Old Pretenders birthday, the club would continue for over 150 years. Termed the Cycle Club as the meetings were held alternately in members' houses and undoubtedly at Nerquis Hall, Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn's home, Wynnstay, seems to have been for general and anniversary meetings. The club's rules and regulations are well known and the burden to attend meetings was key, all members having to attend each three-weekly meeting or give written notice as to why not. The members presumably had to supply their own glasses, which would explain the various patterns, style and engravers noted to those examples still surviving. As with all clubs, these glasses would have been used for communal toast and songs. The Cycle Club are one of the few societies which can claim an active part in the uprising of the '45. They marched to meet Charles' army in England with men, money and supplies but by the time they reached Derby the Highland army was on retreat. In quick succession, they returned to Wales where the incriminating plans and papers were destroyed, although the club continued.
