William Tillyer (British, b 1938)  York Vases - Chinese Red- 1981 Woodblock print  Edition no. 84/100 Signed and numbered in pencil bottom right Framed and glazed 77 x 62cm (30.5" x 24 5/8") William Tillyer is a celebrated British painter and watercolourist whose work has been shown frequently in London and New York since the 1970s. Tillyer was born in Middlesbrough and studied painting at Middlesbrough College of Art. He then went on to study at London's Slade School of Fine Art. He began to make radically experimental work, which raised questions about the relationship of art to the world, and of man to nature. The 1970s saw Tillyer return to printmaking with renewed vigour, using a variety of techniques - from etching to five-tone screenprinting - to create lattices that Pat Gilmour described as 'a cool and unpeopled world...in which to reflect the surrounding flux of nature'. Tillyer has been invited to work internationally in locations including Cadiz, Spain; Tobago, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago; Count Kerry, Ireland for the Cill Rialaig Project; and Melbourne, Australia. Tillyer has served as a visiting professor at Brown University in the United States, the Bath Academy of Art, and the Chelsea School of Art. Tillyer has exhibited internationally, and his work can be found in the collections of major institutions including the Brooklyn Museum and Museum of Modern Art in New York; the Art Gallery of Western Australia in Perth; the Arts Council Collection; the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art; and Tate and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, Charles married his first cousin Marie Amelie Rose Fountaine. After initial successes in the fields of rowing and running whilst at University, he changed direction in the later 1860's, training as a sculptor under the renowned British sculptor John Henry Foley RA (1818-1874) who was a favourite of Queen Victoria's and who made the model for the statue of Albert for the Albert Memorial. Later he trained under the German sculptor Hugo Hagen (1818-1871) before returning to London where he rented a studio in Chelsea. In 1872, he exhibited his work 'Girl at the Stream', the first of twelve exhibited works, at the Royal Academy with later works including 'Daphne' in 1880 and 'The Panther' in 1880. During this period he also won an honourable mention at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1878. In 1882 he was involved in an infamous libel case with the magazine Vanity Fair concerning the authorship of another sculptor's work and in 1889 he took up competitive cycling. Later in 1901 along side Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, he judged the world's first major bodybuilding competition organised by Eugene Sandow at London's Royal Albert Hall in 1901. In 1906, five years before his death, Laws returned to the field of sculpture, when he executed a bronze group entitled 'The Death of Dirce' based on the Farnese Bull. This work was subsequently realised in more monumental form in marble where it was exhibited at the Franco-British Exhibition in 1908, the same year that as the bronze group was being exhibited at the Royal Academy. The marble is now in the grounds at Rothamsted. After the Law's death, his widow offered the bronze version to the National Gallery of British Art (later the Tate Gallery) where it was installed on an outside entrance where it still stands today.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Interior designer John Beresford Fowler CBE (1906–1977) joined the decorating and antiques firm Thornton Smith, where he painted Chinese-style wallpaper (sold as 18th century originals), and learned other paint decoration techniques, such as marbling and graining, and subsequently decorated furniture for Peter Jones. He established his own business on the Kings Road in Chelsea in 1934, and then went into business with Sybil Colefax, founding Colefax & Fowler. Nancy Lancaster employed him to help with the decoration of her own rooms but became fascinated with decoration herself. At the end of World War II she bought the firm that became Colefax and Fowler from the retiring Colefax. He leased the Hunting Lodge at Odiham in Hampshire from the National Trust in 1947, and his simple but elegant decorative scheme made a great impact. Fowler was involved in the redecoration of dozens of substantial country houses and town houses, including Radbourne Hall, Daylesford House, Tyninghame House and Grimsthorpe Castle. He also worked on decorative schemes for Buckingham Palace, Holyroodhouse, Chequers, Chevening, Christ Church, Oxford, and the Bank of England. In the 1960s and '70s Fowler was still engaged in major commercial projects but increasingly preferred to work with the National Trust. By the time of his death in 1977, at the age of 71, John Fowler was recognized as the éminence grise of English decoration.Georgine Fairholme was born in London, 18 August 1927, and attended St Martin’s School of Art in London. She subsequently worked at interior designer Joy King’s Elizabeth Eaton shop in Belgravia before joining the esteemed London firm Colefax & Fowler in 1964, where she became a protégé of decorator John Fowler, founder of the firm. She re-located to New York to work in the firm’s Manhattan office and later joined Rose Cumming, in whose studio she presumably met the designer Harrison Cultra (1941-1983.) Together they formed the Cultra-Fairholme partnership, clients included Richard H. Jenrette and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis amongst others. Following the dissolution of the partnership, in 1978 she opened her own firm in New York City in a fiercely competitive sector but ran a book with many famous and notable clients including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon as well as Mr. and Mrs. John Hay “Jock” Whitney. In 1986, Architectural Digest called Fairholme the “doyenne of English Country Style.” In addition to designing interiors, she designed furniture, china, fabrics and wall coverings. On retirement she moved to Italy thence for the last 17 years of her life to Lavenham, Suffolk. She died in Bury St Edmunds 27 August 2019 – soon after her 92nd birthday. Provenance by descent

Elvis Presley: An Acetate Recording Of That's All Right,1954, a single-sided 10in, 45rpm disc, Memphis Recording Service label with typewritten details and misspelling, That's All Right Elvis Pressley with Scotty and Bill, also stamped W.H.B.Q. Memphis, the blank reverse etched WHBQ 10-3-55 (illegible) out no good, in later sleeve, with letter signed by Johnny Earle on JEMusic headed paper, undated, 10in x 10in (25.5cm x 25.5cm)Footnotes:This important acetate contains Elvis Presley's version of blues singer Arthur Crudup's composition from the late 1940s and was Elvis' debut single release.It was recorded on 5th July 1954, during Elvis' fifth visit to Sam Phillips' Sun Studio in Memphis. Previously, Phillips had heard nothing by Elvis that had caught his attention but on this occasion, in a break in recording with Scotty Moore on electric guitar and Bill Black on string bass, Elvis began singing an improvised, up-tempo version of Crudup's That's All Right, Mama with his acoustic guitar and Phillips thought he was hearing something special. They recorded it 'live', with all parts performed together and put down on one track, with no drums or additional instruments. Phillips then gave acetate copies to several local disc jockeys, including WHBQ's Dewey Phillips.Two days after the recording, Dewey played the acetate on his show and was met with such a reaction that he apparently played it more than a dozen times and received more than forty phone calls from listeners. It was officially released on 19th July and sold in the region of 20,000 copies, reaching No.4 in the local Memphis chart. Whether or not this can be regarded as the first rock 'n' roll record is arguable, but it is certainly the one that launched Elvis Presley's career, bringing him to a national, then global audience, and eventually earning him the title 'The King Of Rock 'n' Roll'.Provenance:Ex-lot 229, Bonhams Chelsea, High Art, Rock & Pop, 5th August 1998.Ex-lot 59, Whyte's, Irish Art & Collectibles, 24th March 2013.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
