He spent much of his childhood and young adult life between Manchuria, Beijing, and Hong Kong, where he discovered a love for brush and ink painting. Kluge studied architecture at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris and earned his diploma in 1937. Upon graduating, he painted the city’s river banks and streets before returning to Shanghai.

* MARGOT SANDEMAN (SCOTTISH 1922 - 2009), STILL LIFE WITH FRUIT, oil on canvas, initialled and dated '88 66cm x 41cm Unframed. Note: Personal inscription verso, 'all my best wishes to both, with love from Margot, 4th August 2006' Note 2 : Margot Sandeman was an accomplished Glasgow painter, who worked with Ian Hamilton Finlay and became Joan Eardley`s longest-standing friend, a friendship that lasted until Eardley`s death in 1963. At the Glasgow School of Art she was quickly singled out, along with Eardley, by Hugh Adam Crawford, head of drawing and painting, for an experiment in which a very small number of outstanding students in that 1939 session were selected for special attention. This effectively amounted to a three-year course in two years, with Crawford himself as tutor. The war interrupted her painting career as did the bringing up of her children following her 1946 marriage to ceramicist James Robson. In 1970 she won the Guthrie Award of the Royal Scottish Academy, the Redpath Award from the Society of Scottish Artists and a Scottish Arts Council prize. In 1988-89 she produced a series of large canvases of bathers echoing Matisse and Seurat and in 1989 she was the Scottish Winner of the prestigious Laing Competition. She also collaborated with her old contemporary Ian Hamilton Finlay on his texts and also created a parallel series of still-lifes plus all the illustrations for his "concrete poetry". Sandeman contributed to mixed exhibitions in the UK and US, with her principal solo exhibitions being at the Demarco Gallery in Edinburgh and the Hughson Gallery in Glasgow, with a final show at the Talbot Rice Gallery in Edinburgh in 2006. Her work is represented in public and private collections in Scotland and in private collections in the US and UK.

Fiona paints from a mixture of life scenes, photographs and imagination. She is influenced by historical works of Colourists and Impressionists, and is hugely inspired by the wealth and richness of contemporary Scottish art that surrounds us in the present day.

SIR JOHN ARNESBY BROWN, RA (1866-1955)EARLY EVENING IN NOTTINGHAM CITY CENTREsigned with monogram and dated lower left AB/87oil on canvas 89 x 59.5 cm/35 x 23 1/2 in.This rare early work is a product of Arnesby Brown~s time studying in his home town at Nottingham School of Art in the late 1880s. Even at this date Brown revealed himself to be far ahead of many of his contemporaries in his approach to subject matter. Rather than a tightly painted topographical record of the city, he presents us with an already impressionistic and highly evocative view of an industrial city centre, together with the restless bustle of its street life. The work is rich with contemporary reference; the wall of advertisements in the background referring to a performance by one of the most lauded sopranos of the century, Adelina Patti, on a tour to Nottingham's recently opened theatre with Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado (one of the duo's most successful operettas).Part proceeds to benefit The Grange Festival

EZIO CICCIARELLA (Vittoria (RG) 1976) Scultura in pietra "Elastica" - 2018 Più che i banchi di scuola, da ragazzo lo attirano gli spazi aperti, il cantiere con gli attrezzi e i materiali adoperati dal padre artigiano. S’interessa precocemente soprattutto di tecniche edilizie, di restauro, di lavori da scalpellino e d’intarsio.Maturando, cresce anche la brama di conoscenza, d’incontri e di esperienze, tale da indurlo a continui viaggi e soggiorni sia in Italia che all’estero.Ma, insoddisfatto ed inquieto, è sempre in cerca del quid che lo gratifichi e realizzi compiutamente; intorno al 2001 inizia così ad eseguire le sue prime sculture, non ancora cosciente d’avere scoperto la musa donatrice di senso.Nel 2008 la svolta decisiva: fra molte difficoltà, decide di avviare un suo laboratorio nel centro storico di Vittoria per dedicarsi interamente all’arte, dalla cui fascinazione è ormai soggiogato.Inizia da allora a produrre un’ampia serie di opere, elaborando un suo linguaggio autonomo ed affinando costantemente la tecnica. Intanto legge, discute di arte ed estende il circuito delle sue relazioni, entrando in contatto con personaggi del calibro di Franco Sarnari e Vittorio Sgarbi; un lungo e impegnativo percorso coronato dalla partecipazione alla Biennale di Venezia 2011. Nello stesso anno allestisce anche uno spazio espositivo in via Cavour, a pochi passi dal laboratorio dove continua a realizzare le sue opere.La scultura - dice Ezio - ha illuminato la mia vita, ma esigendo dedizione assoluta, coraggio e sacrifici infiniti. Se l’arte non è mestiere ma predestinazione, ad Ezio Cicciarella è stata fatale la sua attitudine, che di certo continuerà ad assecondare.PersonaliScultura Uno, a cura di Ezio Cicciarella, 9 - 24 juin 2012, Laboratorio Cicciarella, Vittoria.

Lot 103

C.3000-2000 BC. Bactrian. Stunning dark alabaster chalice. A tall stem and a conical base are topped with a bowl with slightly flaring walls. Alabaster was a precious material, widely traded in the region from the 4th millennium BCE onward. The purpose of such a vessel is not known. Pieces like this one often came from burials and votive offerings. Along with others that make up the typology of stone vessels, together with the well-known column or circular idols, these are all characteristic of the Bactrian material culture. This piece relates to an ancient culture referred to both as the Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex (BCAM) or as the Oxus Civilisation. The Bactria-Margiana culture spread across an area encompassing the modern nations of Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Northern Afghanistan. Flourishing between about 2100 and 1700 BC, it was contemporary with the European Bronze Age, and was characterised by monumental architecture, social complexity and extremely distinctive cultural artefacts that vanish from the record a few centuries after they first appear. Pictographs on seals have been argued to indicate an independently-developed writing system.It was one of many economic and social entities in the vicinity, and was a powerful country due to the exceptional fertility and wealth of its agricultural lands. This in turn gave rise to a complex and multifaceted set of societies with specialist craftsmen who produced luxury materials such as this for the ruling and aristocratic elites. Trade appears to have been important, as Bactrian artefacts appear all over the Persian Gulf as well as in the Iranian Plateau and the Indus Valley. For this reason, the area was fought over from deep prehistory until the Mediaeval period, by the armies of Asia Minor, Greece (Macedonia), India and the Arab States, amongst others.Through local stone carvers inhabiting the regions of Margiana and Bactria experienced no shortage in material; the main raw material was soft steatite or a dark soapstone, but also various kinds of marble and white-veined alabaster. The main source for these stones, including semi- precious lapis-lazuli, was in Bactria, at Badakhshan in north-western Afghanistan, which provided material not only for the Bactrian and Margian carvers but also farther to the west into Mesopotamia, for the Assyrian kings.

C. 2nd-1st millennium BC. A spectacular ram-shaped bronze oil lamp. The ramp stands foursquare, looking forward. Large, curved horns, project from its head. On its back is a large filling hole with an out-turned rim and the remains of a hinge for the lid. The ram's long legs terminate in carefully modelled feet. A length cylindrical spout with an upturned end juts out from its chest. Bactra was the Greek name for the area of modern Balkh, in what is now northern Afghanistan and Margiana was the Greek name for the Persian satrapy of Margu, the capital of which was Merv, in today's Turkmenistan. This civilisation was contemporary with the European Bronze Age, and was characterised by monumental architecture, social complexity and extremely distinctive cultural artefacts that vanish from the record a few centuries after they first appear. Trade appears to have been important, as Bactrian artefacts appear all over the Persian Gulf as well as in the Iranian Plateau and the Indus Valley. Excellent condition; beautiful patina.

C.3000-2000 BC. Bactrian. Beautiful, large alabaster vessel with amber-coloured slip and dark bands swirling around its body. Clearly, the craftsman knew how to take advantage of the swirling bands of colour of the alabaster to give a sense of movement as a decorative element on the vessel. The shoulder are presented with knobs and topped with a flared rim. Alabaster was a precious material, widely traded in the region from the 4th millennium BCE onward.The purpose of such a vessel is not known.

C. 3000-2000 BC. Bactrian. A large and impressive stone jar with a lid. The vessel has a round flat body and the lid shows traces of incisions, probably intended as a decorative element by the maker. Bactrian vessels were commonly made from this grey stone, made of a type of stone widely available in Oman that was traded north through Arabia, the Gulf, Iran, Baluchistan, and Pakistan.
