FRANCIA, GIACOMOBologna 1486 - 1557Titel: Heilige Familie. Technik: Öl auf Holz. Maße: 63,5 x 51,5cm. Rahmen/Sockel: Rahmen. Provenienz:Privatbesitz, Deutschland.Giacomo Francia wurde 1486 geboren und war der älteste Sohn des berühmten Bologneser Malers Francesco Raibolini, genannt Francia, sowie der Bruder von Giulio, der ebenfalls Maler war. Francesco Francia weihte seine beiden Söhne in die Kunst der Malerei ein und Giacomos Stil (wie auch der seines Bruders) wurde dem seines Vaters so ähnlich, dass sein Mitwirken in den komplexen Kompositionen Francias nicht immer eindeutig herauszulesen ist. Das vorliegende Gemälde zeigt eine klassische Andachtsdarstellung der Heiligen Familie, welche Francesco Francia in vielen Variationen anfertigte und sein Sohn somit sehr genau studieren sowie in sein Bildvokabular aufnehmen konnte. Die Zuschreibung des vorliegenden Gemäldes an Giacomo resultiert aus der Solidität und Robustheit der Figuren in Verbindung mit einer Vereinfachung der Formensprache, die ihn von der raffinierteren und akribischeren Manier seines Vaters unterscheidet. Obwohl der Duktus des Künstlers streckenweise unsicher erscheint, zeichnet sich die Tafel durch eine saubere und ruhige Ausführung aus, welche sich auch in ihrem guten Erhaltungszustand widerspiegelt.Wir danken Daniele Benati, Bologna, der die Zuschreibung des vorliegenden Gemäldes auf Grundlage einer hochauflösenden Digitalfotografie bestätigt hat.Erläuterungen zum KatalogGiacomo Francia Italien 16.Jh. Originale Religiöse Darstellung Andachtsbild Leben Christi FRANCIA, GIACOMOBologna 1486 - 1557Title: Holy Family. Technique: Oil on Wood. Measurement: 63,5 x 51,5cm. Frame/Pedestal: Framed. Provenance: Private ownership, Germany.Born in 1486, Giacomo Francia was the eldest son of the famous Bolognese painter Francesco Raibolini, called Francia, and the brother of Giulio, who was also a painter. Francesco Francia initiated both his sons into the art of painting and Giacomo's style (as well as his brother's) became so similar to his father's that his involvement in Francia's complex compositions cannot always be clearly read out. The present painting shows a classical devotional depiction of the Holy Family, which Francesco Francia produced in many variations and which his son was thus able to study very closely as well as incorporate into his pictorial vocabulary. The attribution of the present painting to Giacomo results from the solidity and robustness of the figures combined with a simplification of formal language that distinguishes him from the more refined and meticulous manner of his father. Although the artist's ductus appears uncertain in places, the panel is characterised by a clean and calm execution, which is also reflected in its good state of preservation.We are grateful to Daniele Benati, Bologna, for confirming the attribution of the present painting on the basis of a high-resolution digital photograph.Explanations to the Catalogue
SPADA, LIONELLO1576 Bologna - 1622 ParmaTitel: Samson und Delilah. Technik: Öl auf Leinwand. Montierung: Randdoubliert. Maße: 152 x 193cm. Rahmen/Sockel: Rahmen. Provenienz:Privatbesitz, Deutschland.Das vorliegende Gemälde stammt aus einer Privatsammlung in Deutschland, wo es seit etwa einem Jahrhundert mit der Zuschreibung an die italienische Schule aufbewahrt wird. Die korrekte Zuschreibung an den Bologneser Maler Lionello Spada wurde von Davide Dossi im Rahmen der Katalogisierung des Gemäldes vorgeschlagen und von Daniele Benati bestätigt.Das großformatige Gemälde stellt eine alttestamentliche Erzählung aus dem Buch der Richter dar, die von Samson handelt, einem Helden mit ungeheurer Kraft, die ihm direkt von Gott verliehen wurde. Die in den Helden verliebte Delilah erfährt, dass Samsons Stärke in seinen Haaren liegt, woraufhin sie - in Vereinbarung mit den Philistern, die ihr eine große, verlockende Belohnung versprochen hatten - Samson auf ihren Knien einschlafen lässt und ihm die Haare abschneidet. Nachdem er seine Kräfte verloren hat, wird Samson von den Philistern geblendet, gefangen genommen und nach Gaza gebracht, wo er in Ketten gelegt wird, um in einem Gefängnis den Mühlstein zu drehen. Die auf dem Gemälde dargestellte Szene zeigt den Moment, in dem Samson auf dem Schoß von Delilah schläft, die wiederum von einer alten Frau im Hintergrund eine Schere gereicht bekommt - ohne dabei den Blick von dem schlafenden Samson abzuwenden. Zwei Philister auf der linken Seite beobachten die Szene, die unbestrittenen Protagonisten sind jedoch Dalilah und Samson, deren Körper den Großteil der Bildfläche einnehmen. Diese Darstellung war in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 17. Jahrhunderts besonders beliebt: Fast jeder Künstler versuchte sich an diesem Sujet, das sowohl als moralische Warnung als auch als galante Szene verstanden werden konnte.Es ist anzunehmen, dass das vorliegende Werk, dessen Auftraggeber und Provenienz vor etwa 1900 bislang noch unbekannt sind, im zweiten Jahrzehnt des 17. Jahrhunderts gemalt wurde. Nach einem Aufenthalt in Malta zwischen 1609 und 1610, wo Lionello Spada den Auftrag erhielt, drei Räume des Großmeisterpalastes mit Fresken auszustatten, und einem etwa fünfjährigen Aufenthalt in Rom, kehrte Spada um 1614 nach Bologna zurück. Das Gemälde mit Dalilah und Samson dürfte aufgrund der offensichtlichen stilistischen Affinitäten zu weiteren Werken in seiner zweiten Bologneser Schaffenszeit entstanden sein. Diese zeichnen sich insbesondere in der in seiner frühen Jugend erlernten Fähigkeit und Neigung zur perspektivischen Dekoration (die der Künstler mehrere Jahrzehnte später erneut verwendete), dem ornamentalen Reichtum und den neo-manieristischen Farben aus. All dies sind Elemente, die sich zu einer erneuerten klassizistischen Manier summierten, die durch die Kunst von Domenichino und Annibale Carracci in Rom und Neapel belebt wurde. Ein besonders interessanter Vergleich lässt sich mit dem Werk "Das Konzert" im Louvre anstellen, das Spada um 1615 malte. Auch hier sind die oben erwähnten stilistischen Merkmale zu erkennen, die die beiden Gemälde untrennbar miteinander verbinden.Wir danken Daniele Benati, Bologna, der die Zuschreibung des vorliegenden Gemäldes auf Grundlage einer hochauflösenden Digitalfotografie bestätigt hat.Erläuterungen zum KatalogLionello Spada Italien Bologna Schule 16./17. Jh. Originale Religiöses Thema Gemälde Altes Testament SPADA, LEONELLO1576 Bologna - 1622 ParmaTitle: Samson and Delilah. Technique: Oil on canvas. Mounting: Edges relined. Measurement: 152 x 193cm. Frame/Pedestal: Framed. Provenance:Private ownership, Germany.The present painting comes from a private collection in Germany, where it has been kept for about a century with the attribution to the Italian school. The correct attribution to the Bolognese painter Lionello Spada was suggested by Davide Dossi in the course of cataloguing the painting and confirmed by Daniele Benati.The large-format painting depicts an Old Testament narrative from the Book of Judges about Samson, a hero with tremendous strength bestowed upon him directly by God. Delilah, who is in love with the hero, learns that Samson's strength lies in his hair, whereupon - in agreement with the Philistines, who had promised her a great, tempting reward - she makes Samson fall asleep on her knees and cuts off his hair. After losing his strength, Samson is blinded by the Philistines, captured and taken to Gaza, where he is put in chains to turn the millstone in a prison. The scene depicted in the painting shows the moment when Samson is sleeping on the lap of Delilah, who in turn is handed a pair of scissors by an old woman in the background - without taking her eyes off the sleeping Samson. Two Philistines on the left observe the scene, but the undisputed protagonists are Delilah and Samson, whose bodies take up most of the picture space. This depiction was particularly popular in the first decades of the 17th century: almost every artist tried his hand at this subject, which could be understood as both a moral warning and a gallant scene.It can be assumed that the present work, whose patron and provenance are as yet unknown before about 1900, was painted in the second decade of the 17th century. After a stay in Malta between 1609 and 1610, where Lionello Spada was commissioned to fresco three rooms of the Grand Master's Palace, and a stay of about five years in Rome, Spada returned to Bologna around 1614. The painting with Delilah and Samson was probably created during his second creative period in Bologna, due to the obvious stylistic affinities with other works. These stand out in particular in the skill and inclination for perspective decoration learned in his early youth (which the artist used again several decades later), the ornamental richness and the neo-Mannerist colours. All these are elements that added up to a renewed classicist manner, enlivened by the art of Domenichino and Annibale Carracci in Rome and Naples. A particularly interesting comparison can be made with the work "The Concert" in the Louvre, which Spada painted around 1615. Here, too, the stylistic features mentioned above can be seen, which inextricably link the two paintings.We are grateful to Daniele Benati, Bologna, for confirming the attribution of the present painting on the basis of a high-resolution digital photograph.Explanations to the Catalogue

Jahrhunderts in Rotterdam und Amsterdam tätige Jacob Ochtevelt soll zeitgleich mit Pieter de Hooch Schüler des Haarlemer Landschafts- und Tiermalers Nicolas Berchem gewesen sein, doch scheinen beide eher von dem - wie sie in Rotterdam lebenden - Ludolf Leendertsz de Jongh beeinflusst zu sein. Wie de Jongh spezialisierten sich de Hooch und Ochtervelt auf Interieurs mit Genreszenen überwiegend des gehobenen, feinen Bürgertums. Dabei begrenzt Ochtervelt den Hintergrund häufiger, wie auch im vorliegenden Bild, wie einen dunklen Bühnen-Raum, vor dem die "Akteure", die Farbigkeit und die Textur der ausgewählten edlen Stoffe besonders leuchtend zur Geltung kommen. In der minutiösen Darstellung der Stofflichkeit steht Jacob Ochtervelt auch den gleichaltrigen Frans von Mieris, Gabrile Metsu oder Gerard ter Borch nahe.Die Hauptperson des Gemäldes trägt ein nicht eben alltagstaugliches, leuchtend weißes, aufwendig besticktes Seidenkleid und liest sitzend einen Brief, der vermutlich einen sehr intimen Inhalt hat. Dies suggeriert der kleine Hund, den die Briefleserin im Schoß hält ebenso wie die unverhohlene Neugierde der Bediensteten, die das Tablett mit einer Kanne unaufmerksam halb unter die Falten des Teppichs schiebt, der den Tisch bedeckt. Steht der leere, in schillerndem Grün bespannte Stuhl für einen erwarteten männlichen Besucher bereit, für den auch die auf dem Tisch stehende Tabakdose bereit gestellt ist? Der Betrachter ist eingeladen, neugierig über den Briefinhalt zu spekulieren.Wir danken Ellis Dullaart, RKD, Den Haag, die die Zuschreibung des vorliegenden Gemäldes auf Grundlage einer hochauflösenden Digitalfotografie bestätigt hat.Erläuterungen zum KatalogJakob Ochtervelt Originale Genre Malerei Hunde OCHTERVELT, JAKOBca. 1635 Rotterdam - ca. 1709 AmsterdamTitle: Lady Reading a Letter.

Like de Jongh, de Hooch and Ochtervelt specialised in interiors with genre scenes mainly of the upper, fine bourgeoisie. Ochtervelt often limited the background, as in the present picture, like a dark stage space, against which the "actors", the colourfulness and the texture of the selected noble fabrics are particularly luminous. In the detailed depiction of materiality, Jacob Ochtervelt is also close to his contemporaries Frans von Mieris, Gabrile Metsu or Gerard ter Borch.The main character in the painting wears a bright white, intricately embroidered silk dress that is not exactly suitable for everyday use and is seated reading a letter that presumably has very intimate content. This is suggested by the little dog the reader holds in her lap, as well as the unconcealed curiosity of the servant, who inattentively pushes the tray with a jug halfway under the folds of the cloth covering the table. Is the empty chair, covered in iridescent green, ready for an expected male visitor, for whom the tobacco box on the table is also provided? The viewer is invited to speculate curiously about the contents of the letter.We are grateful to Ellis Dullaart, RKD, The Hague, for confirming the attribution of the present painting on the basis of a high-resolution digital photograph.Explanations to the Catalogue

Rob and Nick Carter are a husband and wife artistic duo who have been collaborating for over 20 years. The Carter's work is centered on the boundaries between the analogue and the digital and has taken many mediums including camera-less photography, painting, installation, neon, sculpture and time-based media. Their acclaimed Transforming series has been 10 years in the making and creates a unique intersection between the art of the past and cutting edge computer generated imagery. Their work is housed in the collections of the Frick, Pittsburgh; Mauritshuis, The Hague; Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem; Victoria & Albert Museum, London; David Roberts Foundation, London; Städel Museum, Frankfurt; and the Fondation Custodia, Paris, as well as being the first living artists to show a work at the Frick Museum, New York.

Christabel Blackburn (b.1986) Then and Now Signed verso Oil on panel 30 x 40cm. Horatio's Garden will receive 50% of the hammer price. Christabel Blackburn is an artist who studies and specialises in the human form. After finishing her degree in Classics at Newcastle University she learnt portraiture in Italy. Embracing this traditional foundation in drawing and sculpting techniques, she completed a further two years at the London Atelier of Representational Art. Influenced by Edward Hopper's realism, photography by Philip-Lorca diCorcia as well David Hockney's architectural traits, Christabel's work has evolved dramatically over the last ten years. Her strong sense of observation has enabled her to refine her technique, paring down detail yet still capturing the very essence of people in their environments and the symbiosis between the two. Be it a lone figure in a gallery or a child in an urban park, the stillness she portrays in her everyday scenes draws the viewer in and like photography, holds you in that moment in time. The intimacy she creates pulls you closer, giving you a greater sense of the people in the picture, their thoughts and their feelings. The simplicity of her work often conveys the loneliness and anonymity felt in a crowded city as well as challenging the impact of mental health caused by this digital age. Christabel's scenes transcend the everyday; they are stories about society and how we live our lives. Christabel won Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year 2020.

Rembrandt (1606 - 1669) Drypoint Etching. This is an etching and drypoint by Rembrandt entitled Landscape with Trees, Farm Buildings and a Tower. The etching was done about 1650, and it's unsigned and undated. It is the fourth state of five, and it comes with a digital certificate of authenticity from Stakenborg-Greenberg Fine Art, an art gallery on Main Street in Sarasota, Florida. The etching is listed in Nowell-Ustickes Catalogue as Nr. 223, and described as RRR, extra rare. The piece is a very fine impression of the fourth (final) state, and one of the rarest of Rembrandt's larger landscape etchings, despite the fact that Rembrandt took this plate through four different states. Very few impressions of this print have come up for auction in recent years. The plate actually began as a precise record of an existing building, namely the building with the tower at the right. In the extremely rare first and second states, the tower is taller and topped with a cupola and a short spire, and those characteristics helped scholars identify the building as that of tax collector Jan Uytenbogaert. Presumably for artistic purposes, Rembrandt changed the appearance of the tower in the third state by burnishing out the upper parts of the tower and obliterating what it really looked like. In his landscapes, Rembrandt usually refrained from depicting the sky with etched lines. He preferred plate tone and polishing scratches or sulphur tinting, but here he covered the left side and part of the lower sky with etched lines to indicate dark clouds. The trees on the left are still overcast and dark, while the rest of the buildings are bathed in sunshine. This strong contrast creates the effect of the sun suddenly breaking through receding rain clouds, and the almost blank foreground evokes a sparse and lovely landscape. Image Size: 4.75 x 12 in. Overall Framed Size: 14.25 x 23.25 in. Framed behind glass.
*RICHARD SLADDEN (1933-2020) A pair of Autostereogram type compositions, digital prints on textile, each 90cm x 80cm (on stretcher). RICHARD SLADDEN - Throughout his life Dick was totally committed to art and in his early years as a practising artist came into prominence by exhibiting at the New Vision Centre Gallery in London, the Alwin Gallery, the Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol and in Dusseldorf, Germany, in a joint exhibition with the artist Bruce McLean. He was born in Clevedon, Somerset, on 11 March 1933, and spent his early years growing up by the sea. At the age of 12 he became a boarder at Kings School, Taunton, at the end of the War. He later enrolled at the Royal West of England Academy School of Architecture in Bristol and also did two years National Service in the Lancashire Fusiliers. His working life began in the then Ministry of Works Ancient Monuments branch for six years until he decided that was much too slow for him. His complete change of direction led him into art and design education, becoming a Senior Lecturer at Croydon College of Art. where, among other activities, he founded a well-regarded sculpture department. He moved to Epsom School of Art and Design in 1972 as Vice Principal. He was later instrumental in merging Epsom and Farnham Schools of Art which became the Surrey Institute of which he became the Assistant Director, by which time he was also Principal of Epsom. The Surrey Institute later merged with Rochester, Maidstone and Canterbury Schools of Art to become what is now the University of the Creative Arts. Retiring in 1994, he and Carol moved to Somerset . He participated in the Somerset Open Art Weeks several times having converted the 50ft waggon shed in the garden into an illuminated outdoor art gallery and being open to the public for two weeks in alternate years, occasions which Dick greatly enjoyed. After spells in Storrington for three years and later Milford for nine years, they eventually moved to Caesars Place in Godalming. It was here that Dick died peacefully in his sleep on 14 April 2020. He was a strong, talented and vigorous personality and was much loved and well respected by all his family and friends . He has left a very large gap in all our lives - Carol Miller, March 2021

Her work has garnered international acclaim with the image Quints, which won First Prize at the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Awards 2008 at the National Portrait Gallery in London, with Viola As Twins, which won the Photographic Art Award, Arte Laguna Prize in Venice in 2011, and her collaboration on Dreams of Your Life with Hide & Seek/Film 4.0 which was BAFTA-nominated in 2012. Davies’ work is concerned with stories and personal histories, the tales and myths we use to structure our lives. She takes inspiration from classical and modern painting, cinema and theatre as well as the imaginary worlds of literature. She employs a deliberate reworking of our visual vocabulary, playing on our notions of nostalgia and visual conventions with the intention of evoking a sense of recognition and narrative. Sandy Nairne, former director of the National Portrait Gallery in London, described Davies’ work as “brilliantly imaginative”.

Sturtevant (1924-2014)Study for Warhol's Marilyn 1965 signed, titled, and dated 1965acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas50.8 by 40.6 cm.20 by 16 in.Footnotes:This work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné being compiled by the Sturtevant Estate, Paris.ProvenancePrivate Collection, HoustonAcquired directly from the above by the present owner circa 1977Each artistic generation is defined by its novel visionaries and 'enfants terribles'; Marcel Duchamp, Robert Rauschenberg, Maurizio Cattelan, Richard Prince – these are artists whose work shatters the cultural zeitgeist and reshapes the landscape of contemporary art practice in its time. American artist Sturtevant was one of the most prominent and highly regarded conceptual pioneers of the latter half of the Twentieth Century, caricaturing and challenging the entrenched ideas of what constituted the art image and object, inspiring artists, philosophers, and critical theorists for generations. In the painting presented here for sale, there is no finer representation of Sturtevant's lifelong artistic project than this: one of the earliest Study for Warhol's Marilyn works, from 1965, the first year of her 'repetitions,' as she termed them. Executed with all the panache of a consummate master, the underpainting, silkscreen quality, and electrifying colour palette are superbly definitive of the Pop Art canon that she sought to rattle. Her ideas were revolutionary and her artworks supremely astute, engaging in the broader discourse around media and cultural theory that had gained immense traction with artists, writers, and critics in the early 1960s. Her practice went head-to-head with the artist-titans of her time, repeating the paintings of Frank Stella, Jasper Johns, and Anselm Kiefer. Sturtevant's Warhol Marilyn series, however, stands as the most iconic of her career. Superimposing images and techniques, upending the symbolic order of source material and artistic license – using not only the visage of the most recognisable leading lady of the last 70 years, but also the most illustrious portrait of the same era – Sturtevant forced the audience to consider the work of art holistically. Her ideology represented the apex point of Warhol's own practice that conflated ubiquity and fame. Her artworks suspended meaning, and instead engaged the spectator in a hierarchy of images and information, undermining the authorial roots and aura of the work of art. Unlike many whose appropriation has inspired backlash, such as Richard Prince, Jeff Koons, and Sherrie Levine, Sturtevant's Marilyns were painted not only with Warhol's blessing, but with the technicians and materials made available to her at the Factory; the canvases, paints, and screens identical to those that Warhol began producing after the actress's untimely death in 1962. Sturtevant claimed that later, when asked how he made his silkscreened works, Warhol told people to 'ask Elaine [Sturtevant].' Her paintings cannot simply be termed 'copies,' therefore, but are instead something much more complex and subversive, entering the philosophical realm of simulacra – a term the artist consistently nodded to as her holy grail and creative driving force. In an age interwoven with digital and virtual machinations that replicate, reshape, and have largely replaced our engagement with 'the real,' Sturtevant's work has become still more relevant and arresting. Shifting to video and digital art in the latter decades of her practice after moving to Paris in 1990, her earliest paintings retain a mysticism that is reserved for those works of art that are true originals – not simply in appearance, but in substance. In the present work, this sense of presence and significance is palpable and undeniable. As academic Patricia Lee wrote, Sturtevant's 'Warhol Marilyn provocatively embodies a decisive moment in the history of the object in art [...] It is in Sturtevant's work that the issue of the copy and its ramifications in Pop, Minimalism and Conceptual art crystallises' (Patricia Lee, Warhol Marilyn: Sturtevant, London, 2016, p. 17). Not only has Sturtevant's work grown to stand apart from those artists she emulated, but the historical and artistic importance of her practice is assured, with works in global museum collections that include the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Museu das Artes de Sintra, Portugal, in addition to her major career retrospective, Double Trouble, that took place at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2014. A painting by an artist who emerged to compete at the height of the Pop Art and Minimalist movements, Sturtevant's contribution to and importance as one of the definitive Postmodernists of the Twentieth Century can be held in no doubt, and Study for Warhol's Marilyn from 1965 stands as one of the earliest and most collectible works from her career to come to market.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
Amanda Denny Untitled from the 'Meanwhile Series' 2020, 2021 Photographic Print on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Amanda Denny is a London based visual storyteller and photographic artist working with both analogue and digital image making processes. All of her practice now deals with the interplay of image, literature and archival documentary material in order to create new narratives. That 'fickle friend' memory, the imbrication of time and connections co-joined by chance circumstances tend to be at the start of her projects. Her practice explores issues of our mental spaces, including urban living, solitude versus loneliness, social stigmas and conflicted choice. She is also concerned with the pressures of achievement - 'happiness' too seems to have entered the fray and something to judge by, it misses the point. She believes that stories can help you exist in the world and by producing narrative spaces you can respond to everyday life and the social environment. There is the story and then there is the meaning to be got from it through the gaps, juxtapositions and conversations. The photo book and the development of photo-text are core to her practice as is creating tangible, tactile artwork that is designed to be viewed in person not on screen, and are not quick reads. Amanda's work is held in private collections and she has been exhibited in group shows worldwide.

As Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett says, "so much femininity is unspoken. Moving through the world as a woman - the way you are viewed and treated, your emotions, your approach to your body - involves subtleties and complexities that are often unarticulated, sometimes even between women themselves." All suffering is unique to ourselves and not having the mental resilience, coping mechanisms or support structures to enable a safe space for self validation is detrimental to our wellbeing and sense of place in the world. Often society is too quick and too keen to label and judge.

Nettie Wakefield Two Meters Apart, 2021 Graphite on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Nettie Wakefield (b.1987) is a British artist who lives and works between London and LA. It is human ephemera and the aspects of everyday life which tend to be over looked or taken for granted that for Nettie become a rich resource for artistic meditation. Taking as her subject matter, the backs of people's heads as in her 'Reverse Portraits' - the owner always unknown, discarded beer cans, sweet wrappers and crumpled cigarette packets, Nettie imbues these commonplace subjects with a sense of both the uncanny as well as a certain poetry which speak of the humans to which they belong or have been discarded by. A striking discord exists between the evidence of life lived in constant flux and the manner in which these 21st century specimens are then immortalized by Nettie's stark and uncompromising artistic attention. Rejecting the new wave digital era, Nettie's commitment is to traditional forms of draughtsmanship such as drawing watercolour and most lately bronze casting. Through meticulous and highly focused powers of observation, Nettie isolates a moment or thing in space and time, often suspending it within an otherwise blank background as she grants it an importance it is usually denied. For Nettie, pencil is a medium she continually returns to. There is no hiding with pencil. It's where so many artists have started; the source of the stream. Most people associate it with the beginning of something, a plan. For Nettie it is the main medium: the end product, it's monochromacy perfect for an artist who is far more interested in tonality than colour. While the speed of life becomes increasingly fast, Nettie views her work as an act of mindfulness, a slowing down of sorts, through which to take time over the act of looking, an effect also replicated in the viewer on encountering Nettie's works. Education She spent summers at the Charles Cecil studios in Florence before completing a foundation year at Chelsea College of Art, a BA in Art History at Leeds University and her Masters degree in Drawing at Wimbledon College of Art, graduating September 2013.

Nettie Wakefield Two Meters Apart, 2021 Graphite on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Nettie Wakefield (b.1987) is a British artist who lives and works between London and LA. It is human ephemera and the aspects of everyday life which tend to be over looked or taken for granted that for Nettie become a rich resource for artistic meditation. Taking as her subject matter, the backs of people's heads as in her 'Reverse Portraits' - the owner always unknown, discarded beer cans, sweet wrappers and crumpled cigarette packets, Nettie imbues these commonplace subjects with a sense of both the uncanny as well as a certain poetry which speak of the humans to which they belong or have been discarded by. A striking discord exists between the evidence of life lived in constant flux and the manner in which these 21st century specimens are then immortalized by Nettie's stark and uncompromising artistic attention. Rejecting the new wave digital era, Nettie's commitment is to traditional forms of draughtsmanship such as drawing watercolour and most lately bronze casting. Through meticulous and highly focused powers of observation, Nettie isolates a moment or thing in space and time, often suspending it within an otherwise blank background as she grants it an importance it is usually denied. For Nettie, pencil is a medium she continually returns to. There is no hiding with pencil. It's where so many artists have started; the source of the stream. Most people associate it with the beginning of something, a plan. For Nettie it is the main medium: the end product, it's monochromacy perfect for an artist who is far more interested in tonality than colour. While the speed of life becomes increasingly fast, Nettie views her work as an act of mindfulness, a slowing down of sorts, through which to take time over the act of looking, an effect also replicated in the viewer on encountering Nettie's works. Education She spent summers at the Charles Cecil studios in Florence before completing a foundation year at Chelsea College of Art, a BA in Art History at Leeds University and her Masters degree in Drawing at Wimbledon College of Art, graduating September 2013. Exhibitions/Awards UNIT GALLERY, Online exhib opening 11th June 2020, Unit London will stage an expansive online exhibition of Works on Paper. 'Drawn Together' will feature the work of over one-hundred and fifty artists from all over the world in order to raise funds for both Medecins Sans Frontières and World Vision.

Mary Griffiths The Not Yet Star, 2021 Inscribed Graphite on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Mary Griffiths (b. 1965, Wirral. Lives in Manchester) Mary Griffiths' practice begins with drawing and the close observation of urban, rural and industrial ecologies and architectures. These rapid figurative drawings are developed in the studio in graphite, ink, monoprints, paint and digital media. They are also the root of her abstract works, through which their essential geometries are rendered BA English, Newcastle University: MA Fine Art, Manchester Metropolitan University Exhibitions/Awards "Drawing Biennial", Drawing Room, London (Forthcoming, 2021); "Royal Academy Summer/Winter Exhibition" (2020); "Protest and Remembrance", Cristea Roberts Gallery, London (2018); "Wild Honey", The Turnpike, Leigh (2018, solo exhibition); "Prospect Planes", with physicist Kostya Novoselov, for the Great Exhibition of the North, Newcastle/Gateshead (2018); "Wonder Materials: Graphene and Beyond", Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester and touring internationally (2016-18); "From Seathwaite", permanent wall drawing at the National Graphene Institute, Manchester (2015, solo exhibition); "Still Further", Bureau, Manchester (2014, solo exhibition); "Black and White Room" curated by Cornelia Parker, "Royal Academy Summer Exhibition" (2014); "Cabedal", Plataforma Revolver, Lisbon (2012); "Fathom", Bureau, Manchester (2012, solo exhibition); "Memory of a Hope", Ceri Hand Gallery, Liverpool (2011).

Diana Savostaite I'll Take A Hot Bath, 2021 Acrylic on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Diana Savostaite (b.1983) was born and raised in a small Lithuanian village. She is a graduate of Vilnius Academy of Arts (2006) and holds a BA honours degree in Fine Arts / Painting. Diana moved to London in 2006, where she has been actively participating in group and solo exhibitions across the UK. Diana uses oil painting as a primary medium to create colourful and expressive paintings. Her artworks combine lots of colour tones (from light and airy to dark and gloomy) and variety of brush strokes. The painting process is especially important to Diana. She begins her artwork with applying thin transparent colour washes, then progresses it with texture and bold brush strokes, then finishes it by adding any detailed touches. All of this creates a unique and vibrant atmosphere in her paintings. Diana is inspired by her closest surroundings, observation of daily experiences and especially - nature and a personal connection with it. In her latest work, Diana experiments with new shapes and combines them together in a various ways, so paintings interconnect with each other and create a visual story on the wall. This practice has allowed her artwork to break free from the traditional painting format or rules and has encouraged her to search for a new form of expression. Through this, Diana discovered an interesting combination between painting and shape. Exhibition/Awards Diana has had several solo shows in UK - Cole's Gallery, Leeds (2020), Thames Side Studios, London (2019 and 2017), Art Fix Gallery, London (2017), ASC - Unit 3, London (2013), London Regatta Centre, London (2013). Diana's work has been selected for variety group exhibitions across the UK in venues like Royal Academy of Arts (London), Sunny Art Centre (London), Mall Galleries (London), Peterborough Museum (UK), The Bishop's Palace in Wells (UK), The Old Truman's Brewery (London), Penarth Pier Pavilion Gallery (UK), Hundred Years Gallery (London), Unit-3 Gallery (London), Arch Gallery (London), Saatchi Screen in Saatchi Gallery (London). In 2017 Diana was awarded with Winsor and Newton Young Artist Award while exhibiting her work in Mall Galleries (London). Recently, Diana won an artist's open call with Colle's Gallery in Leeds and has been awarded a solo exhibition.

Ceal Warnants Entitled (Repeat), 2021 Digital Print on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) b. 1984, Guildford, Surrey. Lives and works in London. The work draws parallels between the youth of 'then' and 'now'. The angst is the same but the pressures are different. Basing work on illustrations from the past helps to lend it an authenticity but also highlights the differences between two timeframes. Innocence is the truth of childhood whatever the era and it is fascinating.

Ceal Warnants And What?, 2021 Digital Print on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) b. 1984, Guildford, Surrey. Lives and works in London. The work draws parallels between the youth of 'then' and 'now'. The angst is the same but the pressures are different. Basing work on illustrations from the past helps to lend it an authenticity but also highlights the differences between two timeframes. Innocence is the truth of childhood whatever the era and it is fascinating.

Natisa Jones In All My Glory, 2021 Charcoal, Watercolour, Acrylic and Gouache on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Natisa Jones b. 1989 Born in Jakarta, Natisa Jones is a visual artist who works between Bali, Indonesia where she spent most of her childhood growing up - and Amsterdam, Netherlands where she is currently based. Education Jones completed a Visual Arts diploma studies in Chiang Mai Thailand and a bachelor's degree of Fine Arts Painting in RMIT University - Melbourne, Australia. Through the process of writing, drawing, painting, and video, Jones establishes a tightly-knit relationship between her personal life and her creative practice. Raised in a multicultural house hold by a Javanese mother and a Canadian father, Jones pulls narratives from her personal experiences to explore issues within identity and reflect on social dynamics. Framing moments of vulnerability, while every so often pinching sentiments from popular culture, text is regularly incorporated with imagery. Prompt by her multicultural upbringing, Jones seeks to emphasize the notion of duality as an underlying theme in every aspect of her work. Exhibitions/Awards Natisa has held 3 solo exhibitions in Ruci Gallery (Jakarta), Galeri Salihara (Jakarta) and Tony Raka Gallery, (Bali). Group exhibitions include Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, Phillipines and more.

Diploma Graduation Exhibition, PTIS - Chiang Mai Thailand About the postcard artworks With 'In All My Glory' - I wanted to celebrate all sides of our being as women. Although it is easy to celebrate ourselves through our triumphs, it is the hardships that truly place our sense of self-love and acceptance on trial. Its through hardship that we learn who we truly are, our strength, weaknesses, our priorities, and how to continuously fight ourselves. Dark blues, light blues, light yellows peeking, thick limbs, pink mountains. To be soft and playful, yet to take up space and become heavy. All of it is okay. All of it is valid. It is an ongoing process to take ownership of all of it. But through every crack, every detail, I'd like to celebrate - in all our glory, as we are. "
Bea Denton Out of Darkness i, 2021 Digital Print on Hahnemühle Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Bea Denton's practice explores ideas around death and loss, faith and ritual. Photography, printmaking, found materials and lost images are intrinsic to her creative process. Pushing the boundaries of the technical and physical limitations of photography, her work transcends its realist conventions to achieve a deeper resonance. Denton is a collector and archivist of anonymous lives, departed and reincarnated, in pursuit of an essence in the image: the 'soul'. In her examination of faith and death, Denton attempts to find meaning and dimension through the imprint of time, light and phenomena. In a circuitous process, found images are penetrated, interrogated and excavated through alternate layers of photography, projection, recaptured from the lens of a Camera Obscura, from there back to photography and finally to print. The resulting enigmatic, dislocated images challenge a traditional idea of photography as a faithful record of reality, and instead explore the nature of perception, belief and memory. Education Denton graduated from UAL with Distinction in MA Fine Art Printmaking. Exhibitions/Awards She has exhibited widely, including publicly-sited work. She won the 2009 Creekside Open prize selected by Jenni Lomax; the 2007 Deptford X MacDonald Egan Award for Public Art, and the 2002 Ardizzone Prize (Major) for Printmaking.

About the postcard artworks In this work for Art On A Postcard, I have considered resilience inherent in women, exemplified by The Virgin Mary, whose part in the birth of Christ was distinguished by steadfastness, strength, grief and absolute faith. The ephemeral shadow of her stone effigy captured by half-light alludes to these characteristics of resilience; an image revealed by the brilliance of light seeping into darkness, and fixing its place in the soul."

Larissa Lockshin Landscape Sketch, 2021 Pastel on Paper Signed verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) "Larissa Lockshin is a Canadian-born artist based in Queens, New York. Seeking to challenge the existing associations, categorizations, definitions, and language surrounding art, Larissa Lockshin emphasizes objecthood over image content. Employing printer ink, acrylic, oil sticks, enamel, and chalk, Lockshin creates objects that reach out to the viewer and exist in the liminal space between painting and sculpture. A frustration with the emphasis on performance and conceptual art in her formal education first drove Lockshin to abstraction, and her subsequent work challenges the image's drained value in an oversaturated, digital world. The question of how art can maintain its value as a physical object when most artworks are viewed online impelled Lockshin to create artworks that defy the confines of digital reproduction, countering notions of what painting is through loosely impressionistic, largely unrecognizable forms. Exhibitions Her recent solo and two-person exhibitions include: "Iced Rowanberries", The Newsstand Project, Los Angeles, CA (2020), "Cadmio Limon", curated by Cristina Anglada, Galeria Pelaires, Majorca, Spain (2020), NADA "This is Fair", Melanie Flood Projects (2020), ARCO Lisboa, Galeria Pelaires (2020), ""Mal"" curated by Underground Flower & The Sunroom, Richmond, VA (2020).

Larissa Lockshin Fruit Plate, 2021 Pastel on Paper Signed verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) "Larissa Lockshin is a Canadian-born artist based in Queens, New York. Seeking to challenge the existing associations, categorizations, definitions, and language surrounding art, Larissa Lockshin emphasizes objecthood over image content. Employing printer ink, acrylic, oil sticks, enamel, and chalk, Lockshin creates objects that reach out to the viewer and exist in the liminal space between painting and sculpture. A frustration with the emphasis on performance and conceptual art in her formal education first drove Lockshin to abstraction, and her subsequent work challenges the image's drained value in an oversaturated, digital world. The question of how art can maintain its value as a physical object when most artworks are viewed online impelled Lockshin to create artworks that defy the confines of digital reproduction, countering notions of what painting is through loosely impressionistic, largely unrecognizable forms. Exhibitions Her recent solo and two-person exhibitions include: "Iced Rowanberries", The Newsstand Project, Los Angeles, CA (2020), "Cadmio Limon", curated by Cristina Anglada, Galeria Pelaires, Majorca, Spain (2020), NADA "This is Fair", Melanie Flood Projects (2020), ARCO Lisboa, Galeria Pelaires (2020), ""Mal"" curated by Underground Flower & The Sunroom, Richmond, VA (2020).

Delphine Lebourgeois Spring Quarantine Study 1, 2021 Ink, Watercolour and Acrylic on Paper Signed recto, further signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) "Delphine Lebourgeois is a French artist based in London She works in various medium including digital, collage, pencil, pen, ink, watercolour and screenprint but her working process always starts with an initial collage of found elements. Her most recent work draws from various stylistic sources (ranging from Botticelli to comics) mixing symbols and cultural references in a playful and sometimes irreverent way. In 2014, Lebourgeois created a whole series of original drawings on the power of crowds "The Girl has a Gun" that was launched at the Other Art Fair in October 2014. The works explored the realm of power relations and female emancipation. Lebourgeois' latest series are her most feminist to date, as her armies of women have progressively taken on a deeper meaning. Her 2019 Pink Collection explores both erotica, the power to assert one's sexuality, and Mania, a look back on female repression. Lebourgeois has also collaborated with The New Yorker, The Guardian, Le Monde, L'Obs, Amnesty International, Soho House and The Other Art Fair, where she continues to exhibit her work yearly. In 2019, several of her works were featured as street art in the latest edition of Need For Speed Heat, produced by EA Games. She is exhibited around the world, including in the UK, Paris, New York, Hong Kong and Singapore.

About the postcard artworks: One year ago, in March 2020, it was the first lockdown in the UK. I used to run early in the mornings when London was at its quietest. Blooming magnolias, luscious flowers and almond green buds were literally exploding from front gardens. The lockdown meant that these moments were brief and really precious. This lead to me starting a series of works ""Spring Quarantine"" about our relationship with nature, as individuals and as a society."

Art Kane (American, 1925-1995)The Who With Flag, 1968, printed laterno.1 from a limited edition of 3, digital C-Type print by Griffin Editions, printed on a wide format lightjet printer on archival Fuji Crystal Archive colour paper, featuring The Who asleep under a Union Jack flag taken at The Charles Schurz Monument in Morningside Park, New York, for Life magazine, taken from the original 1968 colour transparency, scanned on a high performance Heidelberg drum scanner with maximum optical resolution of 19,200 dpi, framed in Perspex sheet 127 x 190.5cm (50 x 75in)Footnotes:This work is accompanied by a copy of the certificate of authenticity signed by Jonathan Kane on behalf of The Art Kane Estate, dated 2008.Kane described The Who as 'cute little ruffians, they made me think of Dickens, of Fagin's gang from Oliver Twist.'Knowing that Pete Townshend and John Entwistle wore jackets made from the British flag, Art Kane decided to enrobe the band in two Union Jack flags sewn together. Kane instructed them to pretend to be asleep at the base of the Karl Schurz monument. He saw the image as an homage to a Henri Cartier-Bresson photograph of a vagrant asleep in London's Trafalgar Square. Originally photographed in 1968 for Art Kane's legendary Life magazine photo essay 'The New Rock', it was later used by The Who for the soundtrack album cover and publicity posters for their 1978 movie The Kids Are Alright.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
