She was associated with the Scottish Colourists and later became a prominent member of the St Ives School. Her paintings often featured vibrant colors, dynamic compositions, and a strong sense of rhythm.Throughout her career, Wilhelmina Barns-Graham explored various styles, including abstract landscapes and geometric abstraction. Her work reflected a deep connection to nature and the surrounding landscapes of Cornwall, where she lived and worked.Barns-Graham was a key figure in the post-war British art scene and participated in numerous exhibitions both in the UK and internationally. In addition to her painting, she was also known for her printmaking and drawing.The Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust, established after her death, continues to promote her legacy and support research and education in the field of modern and abstract art.

Andy Warhol, a pioneering figure in the Pop Art movement, is renowned for his innovative approach to art, celebrity culture, and consumerism. Born in 1928, Warhol's contributions have left an indelible mark on contemporary art and popular culture.Warhol's artistic legacy can be encapsulated as follows:1. **Celebrity and Consumerism**: Warhol's art is characterized by its exploration of mass culture, celebrity, and consumerism. His iconic works often featured images of popular products, celebrities, and everyday objects, blurring the lines between high art and commercial imagery.2. **Silkscreen Technique**: Warhol's use of the silkscreen technique allowed him to mass-produce his art, reflecting the assembly-line nature of consumer culture. This technique became a signature element of his work.3. **Icons and Portraits**: Warhol's portraits of celebrities, such as Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley, elevated the status of these figures to modern-day icons. His art simultaneously celebrated and critiqued the cult of fame.4. **Exploration of Identity**: Warhol's art often explored questions of identity, fame, and the concept of the self in a media-saturated world. His "self-portraits" shed light on the constructed nature of personal identity.5. **Factory and Studio**: Warhol's "Factory" became a hub of creativity, collaboration, and experimentation, influencing not only his art but also the cultural scene of the time.6. **Transcending Mediums**: Warhol's creativity extended beyond painting to include film, music, and performance. His films, such as "Chelsea Girls," and collaborations with bands like The Velvet Underground, expanded the boundaries of his artistic expression.7. **Cultural Impact**: Warhol's art transcended the art world, influencing fashion, music, advertising, and the broader cultural landscape. His fusion of art and commerce challenged traditional notions of artistic purity.8. **Reflection of Society**: Warhol's work captures the essence of a changing society, addressing issues of celebrity obsession, consumerism, and the impact of mass media on identity and perception.Andy Warhol's legacy is synonymous with his ability to capture the essence of contemporary culture through his unique artistic lens. His iconic works, innovative techniques, and explorations of fame and consumerism continue to shape conversations about the intersection of art, society, and commerce, while inspiring subsequent generations of artists to challenge norms and embrace the transformative power of art.Measures 24 x 36.Mounted to linen.

Royal Humane Society, small bronze medal (successful) (William Thomas Wood, 12th July 1887) with integral top riband buckle, nearly extremely fine £100-£140 --- R.H.S. Case no. 23,634: ‘Thomas Wood, professor of music, at great personal risk, rescued Frederick Ball from drowning in the Thames, at Chelsea, on the 12th July 1887.’ The following additional detail is provided by the West London Press, 16 July 1887: ‘On Tuesday a gallant act was witnessed from the Chelsea Embankment. As the steamer Redfern was proceeding from Cadogan Pier up the river to Kew, the passengers saw a boy in the water opposite the Old Church, who was evidently exhausted, and was shouting for help. Without a moments hesitation, and only leaving his hat and stick behind, Mr Wood of 3 Radnor Street, Chelsea, dived into the river, and swam to the boy. He seized hold of him, and by dint of great exertion succeeded in getting him down to the Albert Bridge. There they managed to seize a life buoy skilfully thrown from the bridge by Mr. Rusholme, who is engaged on the works, and on this they were supported until rescued by a boat promptly launched from the pier by the master, Mr. Pellatt. Mr. Wood was able to go home at once without assistance. The boy whose name is Frederick Ball, and who also lives in Radnor Street was in a very exhausted state, and says had not Mr. Wood acted so promptly he must have gone under. He has not however suffered much from his immersion. He was bathing in the river and had gone too far from the shore, and the tide which was running out strongly at the time carried him away. Mr. Wood’s hat and stick were carried by the Redfern up to Kew and were not returned to him until the next day.’ Sold with copied research, and an original cutting from the above newspaper edition.

A rare and poignant Our Dumb Friends League Medal pair to Army deserter and career-criminal Mr. E. Netley, who sustained serious injuries whilst out on the prowl one evening at West Croydon railway station, when he attempted to rescue a dog which had strayed onto the tracks. Found unconscious alongside the body of a cream coloured Alsatian which was described in contemporary accounts as a ‘blackened mass’ lying across the live rail, Netley was fortunate to escape with his life Our Dumb Friends League Medal, heart-shaped, silver (Awarded to Mr. Edward Netley. For the courageous rescue of a Dog from a railway track. August 1929.) hallmarks for Birmingham 1927; together with a privately commissioned bronze medal by Vaughton, Birmingham, unnamed as issued, swing mounted, pawnbroker marks to edge of first, scratches to reverse of both, very fine (2) £600-£800 --- Edward Netley was born in Brighton around 1893. A labourer of no fixed abode, he attested for the Queen’s (Royal West Surrey) Regiment around his eighteenth birthday (10047 Pte. E. Netley) and was soon the subject of a Court Martial at Warley Camp on 22 May 1911, in consequence of desertion. Found guilty, he was released from service. Familiar with dwellings along the London to Brighton railway line, Netley soon caught the attention of the Croydon Borough Bench when charged with stealing furniture from Mr. Arthur Winter who had known him just a few weeks. Out of compassion and seeing Netley with no home and no work, Winter had provided him with lodging and partial board, but was soon dismayed to hear that his goods had been sold in Portobello Road, the shop proprietor believing them to have originated from Netley’s ‘late mother’. The following year, Netley was back before the courts after breaking into his mother’s house at 3, Holland Road, South Norwood. Very much alive, she saw to it that he was sentenced to three month’s hard labour for theft. The outbreak of the Great War saw little change in Netley’s behaviour. Attesting for the 6th Battalion, East Yorkshire Regiment (18676 Pte. E. Netley), he served in Egypt from 16 November 1915 but was soon in trouble for desertion alongside a pal when back home in England. Wearing the stripes of a Corporal, he pretended to be an escort to his friend when challenged by a policeman. The ruse failed and Netley was transferred to the Prince of Wales’s Own (West Yorkshire) Regiment (64025 Pte. E. Netley). A while later, Netley was charged with obtaining money by false pretences. Appearing in the dock at Croydon Borough Police Court, he described himself as a ‘wounded Private’ of the 3rd Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment. Wearing the ribbon of the Military Medal, his largesse went further. The Croydon Times of 16 November 1918, adds: ‘Netley told the Bench that he had won the Military Medal and had been wounded four times. He wanted to retrieve his character and would pay back the money. He had been in the army four years. The father said he was sorry his son had not better sense, and hoped the magistrates would deal leniently with him. In reply to Ald. Fox. defendant said he won the Military Medal for capturing a machine gun and seven prisoners.’ Remarkably, Alderman Fox offered Netley ‘one more chance,’ much to the chagrin of his mother. Analysis of Netley’s Army Service Records show that he was indeed wounded, suffering a slight wound in France whilst with the 7th Battalion, East Yorkshire Regiment, and another slight wound to the left hand whilst with the West Yorkshire Regiment. No trace of the award of the MM can be found. Discharged from the Army on 12 September 1919 and issued a Silver War Badge in consequence of disability, Netley forfeited his Great War medals on 23 December 1920 following further convictions for theft and fraud. Remaining in South London for the next nine years, Netley finally caught the attention of the local press for all the right reasons on a summer evening in 1929. Crossing the bridge at West Croydon Railway Station, he ‘heard the cries of a dog’ and leapt over an 8-foot wire security fence, falling 30 feet down the embankment. He then attempted to move the animal by hand, but was electrocuted and knocked unconscious, being found soon thereafter atop the clinker and wooden sleepers. Initially described as an ‘unknown hero’ by the contemporary press on account of Netley carrying no identification about his body, he was later identified at Croydon General Hospital and received considerable praise. Discharged, he travelled south to Brighton and was immediately caught stealing a bicycle. According to the Derby Daily Telegraph, 30 August 1929: ‘In recognition of this act of bravery the justices only sentenced Netley to three months’ hard labour. But for this act the sentence would have been much greater as he had a bad record.’ Awarded the Our Dumb Friends League Medal, it appears that the recipient’s life of poverty and cycle of petty theft continued unabated. Possibly pawned by the recipient, Netley was later admitted to the Kensington and Chelsea workhouse. In 1939, he was further charged at Brentford for having absconded from Isleworth Casual Ward, and fined 5 shillings. Having burned all his bridges with friends and family alike, it appears that his life ended in abject poverty. An article published in The Guardian newspaper describes the life of one man in a London workhouse at this time: ‘I found myself in a small room with other casuals. There were old men and young men; men who smiled and men who sneered; men who stared fixatedly before them and men who talked in low, toneless voices... But they were all men with one thing in common - hunger.’ Sold with copied research.

Guards.) fitted with original steel clip and ring suspension, good very fine £1,200-£1,600 --- Provenance: Sotheby, December 1896; Glendining’s, June 1924; Harrison Collection 1934.

He served for 21 years 18 days and was discharged at Windsor on 2 November 1818, in consequence of ‘long service’. He was granted two years’ additional service for Waterloo, where he was in Lieutenant-Colonel Hon. H. P. Townshend’s Company, and was admitted to a Chelsea out-pension of 1s/1d per diem on 11 November 1818. Sold with copied discharge papers.

Legerwood, Berwickshire, was an ironworker, engineer and salesman, initially working in Edinburgh. In 1847 he became a wire merchant in Glasgow, before moving back to Edinburgh. By 1852 he was said to employ 700 people with operations in both Scottish cities, as well as in Liverpool and Chelsea, London. Sequestrated for the first of many times in 1858 owing £80,000 to his bankers, his fortunes ebbed and flowed until, in 1874 and living at Inveralmond House, the procurator fiscal at Perth laid charges of wilful fraud and fraudulent bankruptcy against him. Discharged in March 1877, he moved to Hornsey Rise, London, in 1881, where the census records him as a civil engineer. In London he had been responsible for erecting the first Chelsea Bridge (opened in 1858 and replaced in 1937). Peter Robert Drummond (1802-79), b. Madderty, Perthshire, initially established himself as a circulating bookseller before taking over premises in central Perth which later passed to his cousin John Drummond. Something of an inventor, he turned to farming and his creation of an anti-metallic churn won for him a second medal at the Great Exhibition of 1851; he received an honourable mention for another invention at the 1862 Exhibition. He retired from farming in 1873. Sold with much further biographical detail. The Manchester Agricultural Society (instituted 1767) and the Liverpool Agricultural Society (instituted 1830) merged to form the Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural Society, instituted in November 1847. A similar medal also awarded at the Society’s show in Manchester on 7 October 1851 was sold in these rooms on 1 December 1993, lot 143.
