§ Henry Moore O.M.,C.H (British 1898-1986) Figurine, 1983 5/9, signed and numbered, bronze(the bronze 10cm high, 5cm wide (4in high, 2in wide))Provenance: Christies Contemporary Art Galleries, London, October 1985; Private Collection, USA; Sothebys, New York, 7 December 2015, Lot 66; Private Collection, UK.Footnote: Literature: Bowness, Alan (ed.), Henry Moore: Complete Sculpture, 1980-86, vol. 6, London 1986, p.54, cat. no. 884 (another cast illustrated).
§ Vassilakis Takis (Greek 1925-2019) Signal, 1968 series 3, number 96, titled and numbered on 'Unlimited Bath Widcome Manor' label (to underside), enameled aluminium, chrome-plated metal, plastic, glass and electric system(220cm high, 23cm wide, 26cm deep (86.7in high, 9in wide, 10.25in deep))Footnote: “It’s only about revealing, in one way or another, the sensory vibrations or the interlacing potentials for energy that exist in the universe […] I think that’s the role of an artist” (Takis in an interview in G. Brett & M. Wellen (ed.s), Takis, Tate Modern, London and tour, exh. cat., 2019) Panayiotis Vassilakis, known as Takis, is considered one of the most important figures of international contemporary art. Despite having no formal training and not beginning to practice art until the age of twenty, Takis became one of the leading artists of the twentieth and twenty-first century, in particular for his development of kinetic art from the late 1950s. His early work in the 1940s was strongly influenced by Picasso and Giacometti – their exaggerated, caricatural figures were particularly interesting to the young artist. The 1950s saw Takis begin his instantly recognizable Signals series, one which he returns to throughout his career. It is said that his inspiration for this series arose while waiting for a train and becoming fascinated by the trackside signals, which provoked him to reject representational art and pursue sculpture that includes light and movement. These sculptures are imposing, otherworldly creations topped with metal shapes or flashing lights which sway in response to vibrations around them. This series would go on to include motors, bulbs, and fireworks and demonstrates his interest in researching movement and energies. His interest in the interlacing potentials for energy was so prolific that he was awarded a scholarship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Center of Advanced Visual Studies where he continued his studies into electromagnetic forces and the importance of energy binding us together. We are delighted to offer the important number 96 from Series 3 of the Signals series dating to 1968. This piece comprises two long enamelled aluminium poles standing over two metres high with flashing green, amber, and orange lights to the top. These long, flexible rods bend and move to create an almost musical harmony of colour and vibration. Takis’s legacy is clear from his extensive career: from his first one-man show in London in 1955 to his retrospective at Tate Modern in 2019, months before his death at the age of 93. Not only remembered for his important contribution as a visual artist, in 1969 he was also a co-founder of the Art Workers’ Coalition who fought for economic and political rights for artists in New York. Moreover in 1986 he founded the Takis Foundation in Athens, a foundation whose mission is to research and develop the arts and sciences, continuing his work and ensuring his legacy. The works of Panayiotis Vassilakis are important both in the development of a new aesthetic language exploring vibrations and light, and in their scientific exploration of energy. His work, and particularly his celebrated Signals series can be found in many important public collections such as Tate Modern in London, MoMA in New York, and in the UNESCO art collection in Paris.
§ Ian Davenport (British 1966-) Untitled, 1988 signed and dated (to reverse), oil on canvas(55.5cm x 55.5cm (21.9in x 21.9in))Provenance: Richard Salmon Gallery, London. Instantly recognisable for his signature pouring of paint onto a tilted surface, the work of abstract artist Ian Davenport occupy a significant place in contemporary British art. These early paintings date from the formative period of his career between graduating from Goldsmiths College in 1988, and his first solo exhibition in 1990 and Turner Prize nomination in 1991. His abstract paintings are created by pouring layers of paint onto prepared canvases or board making complex colour combinations that visualise the artist’s fascination with colour and its importance in establishing the boundaries between representation and abstraction, evoking the processes of the Post-painterly Abstraction movement in America in the 1950s and 60s. Often employing unconventional materials such as electric fans and nails, Davenport’s work explores the materiality of paint as a subject matter in its own right, creating compositions that considers the act of painting as well as the importance of visual harmony.

§ ‡ Lino Tagliapietra (b.1934), Alfred De Credico (1944-2010) and Toots Zynsky (b.1951) Vase, circa signed 'Decredico / Tagliapietra / Zynsky', glass(32cm high, 31cm wide (12.6in high, 12.2in wide))Provenance: A Private European Collection of Studio & Contemporary Glass.Footnote: This work stems from a short period of fruitful collaboration between the three artists around 1995 to 1997. Alfred De Credico stated of their collaboration at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum (RISD) in 1996: "My interest in the collaborative process lies primarily in the opportunity it affords me to test my artistic voice and question the vocabulary I have been building as "abstraction language." Through the interaction of the glass collaboration I am forced to consider forms and colors that I ordinarily would not bring into play in the construction of my images. These elements are joined with and become part of the drawings I construct on the pasteralli. The result has often been startling to me and consequently raise new questions for me to ask myself both in the process of constructing the next glass vessel in the hot shop and back in my studio when making other art with the materials I am accustomed to using. Working with an artist of the caliber of Toots Zynsky, whose focus is so acute and intense and the excellent craftsman blowers that I have been fortunate to be working with, forces me to rethink moves which can often be taken for granted or assumed in the construction of an image. It is this questioning that causes artistic inquiry to push beyond what is known in order to find the point of resistance at which meaningful images are created. It heightens one's sense of the "formal" in the construction of an image, i.e. structure, shape, form, and space and opens the door through which the creative mind must pass in order to abandon what is known and invent new idioms in the development of artistic language."

§ Ben Nicholson O.M. (British 1894-1982) Oh Boy!, circa 1933 mixed media and collage on board(17.7cm x 7.9cm (7in x 3.25in))Provenance: Acquired from the artist by Jake Nicholson and thence by descent to the present owner.Footnote: Oh Boy! is at once an immensely fun work of art made by the artist for his young son, whilst also being an important example of how Ben Nicholson progressed towards the pioneering reliefs for which he is acclaimed. Nicholson is remembered for his sense of humour and playfulness, which formed the basis of his relationship with his oldest son Jake. In 1934 Ben wrote to Winifred ‘Jake and I have such a good and easy contact, I do enjoy him enormously and always have but now very especially – and I know in return I can give him endless things.’ (letter from Ben Nicholson to Winifred Nicholson of 12 April 1934 quoted in Andrew Nicholson, Unknown Colour: Paintings, Letters, Writings by Winifred Nicholson, Faber & Faber, London, 1987, p. 146). In 1988 Jake affectionately recalled his father’s ‘jokey side’ as borne out in illustrated letters featuring dogs called Booboo or Ponto and horses called George or Rufus, who also appeared in paintings. (Jake Nicholson, ‘Ben Nicholson’s Fabrics’, The Nicholsons: A Story of Four People and Their Designs, York City Art Gallery, 1988, exh. cat., p. 38). Jake explained ‘he would build up a serious comment about art or life, then would suddenly pull the rug from under your feet with a pithy joke – perhaps about ginger biscuits.’ (Jake Nicholson, op.cit., p. 39). In Oh Boy! two collaged figures are formed from simple elements as if the result of a game. One is presented within a rectangle, like a goalkeeper to the other, at whose foot a ball is seen moving at speed. The moment of sporting drama is encapsulated in the title, written at the centre right. It is known that Ben and Jake enjoyed playing football together, not least due to a letter recounting a visit they paid to the artists Jean Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp in 1935, in which Ben wrote ‘Jake & I played a good deal of football all over Meudon.’ (letter from Ben Nicholson to Barbara Hepworth of 10 May 1935, quoted in ed. Lee Beard, Ben Nicholson: Writings and Ideas, Lund Humphries, London, 2019, p. 121.) At the same time, Oh Boy! shows how Nicholson was exploring the visual and structural possibilities of working in three dimensions – here collaged, but soon to be carved. The simplification of the human form, the abstracted and graphic representation of facial features and the emphasis on the circle to convey rhythm all speak to his contemporary, more serious concerns. Planes of colour in a palette dominated by black, white and red illustrate opposing team strips as well as emphasising a sense of surface. Nicholson made his first relief in December 1933 whilst in Paris visiting Winifred and their children. He reported this in a letter to Barbara Hepworth a day later, in which he wrote ‘I carved it all day long, it…looks like a primitive game. Jake and Kate came in at various stages and we rolled a marble about it.’ (letter of 12 December 1933 as quoted in Jeremy Lewison, Ben Nicholson, Tate Gallery, London, 1993, p. 216 in entry for cat.no. 49). Thus Jake was present at the moment of this breakthrough in International Modernism, which even so, father, son and daughter were able to turn into a game. We are grateful to Dr Lee Beard for his assistance in cataloguing this work.
SHOJI HAMADA (1894-1978) for Leach Pottery; a stoneware bowl covered in celadon glaze with scalloped decoration inlaid in white slip, rare early personal and pottery marks, made 1923, diameter 20cm. A rare, transitional work showing Hamada honing his skills. Almost certainly from the last firing of the original Leach Pottery kiln before it was dismantled and rebuilt. Exhibited: W B Paterson’s Gallery, 5 Old Bond Street, London, 1923. This was Hamada’s first exhibition and ‘the very first solo show of contemporary studio pottery in a Bond Street gallery … a precedent for subsequent exhibitions of all the major English studio potters of the decade’ – Julian Stair, ‘Genius and Circumstance: early criticism of Hamada’s pottery in England’, in T. Wilcox (ed), ‘Shoji Hamada: Master Potter’ (Lund Humphries, London), p. 17. Provenance: Purchased by the sculptor Agatha Walker from W B Paterson’s Gallery, 1923. Gifted by Walker to the potter Adrian Lewis-Evans, 1970. Comparators: A very similar but unmarked example is in the Crafts Study Centre collection in Farnham. For a similar and contemporary vase acquired from the same 1923 exhibition by Walker, and sold at Bonhams, ‘International Contemporary Ceramics’, 19 September 2006, lot 40, see Phillips in association with Maak, ‘The Art of Fire: Selections from the Dr John P Driscoll Collection’, 10 November 2021, lot 5. Additional InformationProfessional restoration to rim, otherwise appears good with no further signs of faults, damage or restorations.
Wolf Kahn (German/American, 1927-2020). Oil on canvas depicting a lush landscape of rolling hills titled "Overview on Ames Hill: Mid-Summer," 1979. Signed along the lower right. Labels from Ollendorff Fine Arts and Flanders Contemporary Art, Minneapolis, Minnesota, are affixed to the verso.Wolf Kahn was born in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1927. His early childhood was idyllic, and he was able to foster his love of art through painting lessons. However, in 1939, he and his family were forced to flee Germany to escape the rise of the Nazis. Once reunited with his musician father in New York City, Kahn was able to return to his artistic education at the New York High School of Music and Art, and later Hans HoffmanÃs School of Fine Art and the University of Chicago. Once working full time as an artist, Kahn was at the forefront of a group of young artists blending the sensibility of Abstract Expressionism with representational subject matter. Overview on Ames Hill: Mid-Summer is representative of KahnÃs work in this movement. The landscape is luminous and clearly reflects the rolling hills and fields of KahnÃs favored rural retreats. The landscape is given movement and emotion through the expressive, gestural brush strokes in the sky, tree, and hills.Unframed; Height: 30 in x width: 40 in. Framed; Height: 31 1/2 in x width: 41 1/2 in.
