Brett Murray (b.1961) South African ''Africa Maquette'' Initialled and numbered 15/15 bronze and yellow paint, on plinth, 36cm high (including base) Literature: Brett Murray (2013) Brett Murray, Johannesburg: Jacana Media. Page 274, and illustrated in a photograph of the artist's Cape Town studio, page 35. Brett Murray is a South African artist mostly known for his steel and mixed media wall sculptures. Called ''the dark prince of South Africa's pop art'' by the art critic Brenda Atkinson, Murray's work addresses the wars of the cultures, the clash between Afrocentrism and Eurocentrism, the old and the new South Africa's. The present lot is a maquette from an edition of 15 for his large scale piece titled ''Africa'', which is in Cape Town's pedestrian zone. ''With my work I hope to critically entertain. Through satirical and tragic reflections on South Africa, I hope to shift people's perspectives and change people's minds, indulgent, arrogant, and pretentious as this might sound,'' Brett Murray. See illustration

A TIBETAN GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF A LAMA, 13TH-14TH CENTURYTibet. Gautama Buddha’s historic moment of enlightenment, when the earth shook beneath his fingertips in recognition of his achievement, is evoked by this rare figure of a lama. Seated upon a double-lotus base with a vajra placed just in front of his meditative posture, the figure portrayed is evidently a highly esteemed lama of an early period.Provenance: From a Hungarian private collection.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities, occasional light scratches, minuscule nicks here and there, some wear to gilt.Weight: 783.7 gDimensions: Height 12.8 cmThe curved edges of the shirt worn by the lama beneath his robe are telling of the period of origin, as square-edged shirts become the standard from the 14th century on. The quality of this casting is especially evident in the beaded and incised hems of his patchwork robe and shirt along with the floral meditation cape and the rope that falls at its center.Auction result comparison: Compare with a closely related figure at Christie’s New York in Indian, Himalayan and Southeast Asian Works of Art on 12 September 2018, lot 359, sold for USD 15,000.十三至十四世紀西藏銅鎏金喇嘛像 西藏。釋迦修成佛道之前,以右手指觸地,令大地為證,於是地神出來證明,終於使魔王懼伏。喇嘛結觸地印,以冥想姿勢坐在雙層蓮花座上,顯然是早期受尊敬的喇嘛。 來源:匈牙利私人收藏 品相:狀況極佳,有輕微磨損和鑄件不規則現象,局部有輕度刮擦,局部有微小的刻痕,鎏金磨損。 重量:783.7 克 尺寸:高12.8 厘米 拍賣結果比較:一件相似的造像售于紐約佳士得 Indian, Himalayan and Southeast Asian Works of Art 拍場,2018年9月12日,lot 359, 售價USD 15,000。

* STIRLING GILLESPIE (SCOTTISH 1908 - 1993), TORWOOD, ROTHESAY watercolour, signed 23cm x 30cm Mounted, framed and under glass Note: James Gillespie Jnr was one of four children brought up in a world of cinema. His father, James senior was a missionary, evangelist and tenor before joining JJ Bennell as a silent film commentator in Aberdeen the early 1900’s. Gillespie senior moved his family to Rothesay around 1913 to manage the island’s Palace Cinema, for whom he made topicals of local events and with religious and temperance undertones. One of his films starred his son James coming out of a shop with a bottle of whisky, followed by his younger sister who was laden with all the groceries that could be bought for the same cost as the alcohol. James Gillespie Jnr was one of four children brought up in a world of cinema. His father, James senior was a missionary, evangelist and tenor before joining JJ Bennell as a silent film commentator in Aberdeen the early 1900’s. Gillespie senior moved his family to Rothesay around 1913 to manage the island’s Palace Cinema, for whom he made topicals of local events and with religious and temperance undertones. One of his films starred his son James coming out of a shop with a bottle of whisky, followed by his younger sister who was laden with all the groceries that could be bought for the same cost as the alcohol. Stirling Gillespie (as he was known professionally) started in journalism first at the Rothesay Express, then the Daily Record, through which he met J Blake Dalrymple who was to bring Gillespie into his film company Elder Dalrymple Productions. Hired to cover the company’s literary and photographic concerns, Gillespie also became involved in the making of films. In 1936 J C Elder and Dalrymple decided to take the company out on Dalrymple’s yacht to make educational films around the world. Gillespie was to act as press correspondent for the Daily Record coverage of the trip. His cabin aboard the yacht was completely fitted out as a developing and printing studio. However, the trip was curtailed prematurely by the Spanish Civil War, so that the only substantial filming to be completed was of a later voyage to the Baltic. In 1937 Gillespie and Dalrymple undertook an overland expedition from Cape Town to Cairo making educational films as they went. Gillespie taking photographs and film, recorded the expedition in a book "Celluloid Safari" and with the film Land of the White Rhino (1939). After the Second World War was over, Gillespie was to make only one more film with Elder Dalrymple "Perchance to Sail" (1947) in which he starred as a young artist at sea. He was then, until his death, to pursue a highly successful career as a watercolour landscape painter.
