Mr. Brainwash(French 1966 - )RESCUE: MONA LISA (PINK)signed; dated 2019 with the artist's thumbprint on the reversescreenprint printed in colourssheet size: 76 by 57cm, unframed Leonardo da Vinci’s portrait of the Mona Lisa (painted in 1503) is easily the most recognisable painting in the world. It remains one of the most visited artworks at the Louvre, one of these reasons is her intriguing smile, which is mentioned as an example of the uncanny in Freud’s book Leonardo da Vinci and a Memory of His Childhood. Easily the most recognisable of all of Jeff Koon’s sculptures, the artist’s ‘balloon dogs’ are actually rendered from mirror finished stainless steel. Koons’ balloon sculptures reflect mass production (2300 editions of of each colour of the balloon dog sculptures are produced in each colour) and mass consumption in a disposable culture. Koon’s artworks are created in a factory-style production house where more than 100 assistants help produce his work. Koons has asserted many times that there is no deeper meaning in his work. Despite the contrasts between Da Vinci and Koons’ work, both are considered very valuable. In 2013 Jeff Koons’ Balloon Dog (Orange) sold on auction for $58.4 million, at the time a record breaking amount for a living artist. In 2019 Mr. Brainwash produced the series of prints, Rescue: Mona Lisa in three different colour options: red, blue and pink. Each is a five colour screenprint and an edition of 70. The prints depict a spray painted image of the Mona Lisa using black paint, a Jeff Koons balloon dog on her lap. The print that we have on offer (lot 471) is printed in the pink version. Through this combination of recognisable art images, Mr.Brainwash juxtaposes a Rennaissance master with his contemporary equivalent. The title Rescue: Mona Lisa (Pink), bears no mention of Koons’ balloon dog, perhaps it is the reproduction of her image, rendered with spray paint with a medium used by street artists in the late 20th century, recontextualising Mona Lisa as a relevant image, an icon who can still hold her own and bear relevance in 2019 when the prints were first created, while a vacuous balloon dog rests in her lap. Yet the artwork itself consists of neither the Mona Lisa, nor one of Jeff Koon’s sculptures, but the artist’s representation and reimagining of images of the two simultaneously, and from a twenty-first century perspective. To Mr.Brainwash, art history is not a linear succession of art movements, all marching one behind the other in the development of what and how art is to be considered, it is rather a network, and in this era, all available, all the time, at his disposal, to be replicated and appropriated into a new art form.  Source: Artdependence Encyclopedia.com Mr. Brainwash is the moniker of Thierry Guetta who became well known after the Academy Award nominated documentary about street art, Exit Through the Gift Shop, debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010. There is a point in the documentary where Banksy, the focus of the documentary, turned Guetta’s camera on the graffiti artist who would then go on to find instant success on the Los Angeles art scene. Using the moniker Mr. Brainwash since his first solo show, the artist is known for his provocative art which often makes use of iconic images, which he doctors and subverts, frequently incorporating spray painting techniques, and then produces limited edition prints of the originals, thus bringing graffiti and street art into the gallery space. Mr. Brainwash has designed an album cover for Madonna, worked with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and exhibited his art all over the world. His sudden rise to fame has led many to speculate whether Mr Brainwash is just the frontman of a long-term prank on the public orchestrated by Banksy. Source: BBC

Mr. Brainwash(French 1966 -)SPRAYCAN AND CATALOGUE FROM THE SOLO EXHIBITION AT THE OPERA GALLERY, LONDON 2012signed; signed on the front coverMr. Brainwash brand spraypaint can; Mr. Brainwash, Opera Gallery, 2012, soft cover, illustrated in full colourcan height: 20cm; catalogue 29,5 by 22cm, unframed (2)EXHIBITEDOpera Gallery, Mr. Brainwash, London, 2012  Lot 472 consists of a spray can and the catalogue from Mr Brainwash’s 2011 solo exhibition at the Opera Gallery in London. The spray can is made from steel and printed with an original label which includes a union jack with a crest and the words “Mr. Brainwash” in a white, cursive font. Although the spray cans the artist produces are designed after the traditional spray cans that the artist used, this can is empty and never contained any paint or gas. The artwork is printed on the can and includes directions for use, warnings that it contains flammable gas and the artwork includes drips and slashes of paint, as you would expect from a real spray can. The can that we have on offer has a blue lid. It is signed in permanent marker by Mr. Brainwash and dated 2012. While Mr Brainwash has made other spray cans, these have red and white print with the paint dripping from the nozzle, down along the can. The cans were made available in ten different colours and a special edition of gold and silver. Each colour was produced in an edition of 700.The can we have on offer is distinct from the cans described above, for the union jack print on the can and the lack of dripping paint, printed with the title of his 2008 solo show in Los Angeles, Life is Beautiful. This spray can was made for Mr. Brainwash’ solo show at the Opera Gallery. The catalogue is printed in full colour, and features the artist’s print of Queen Elizabeth II in her youth, holding one of Mr Brainwash’ spray cans that bear the Union Jack, this one features a red nozzle, which usually indicates the colour. Behind her, the symbol for anarchy has been sprayed, suggesting that it was sprayed by the young queen herself. The original work is a beautifully rendered oil on canvas painting. Apart from a brief biography, the catalogue is devoid of any essays or artist’s explanations, just full colour images allowing the work to speak for itself. Many of the images included in that exhibition reference artists who have both incorporated Pop Art and icons who have become emblems of Pop Art, included in the work Mr Brainwash produced for his first British solo exhibition. Source: Mr Brainwash Opera Gallery Mr. Brainwash is the moniker of Thierry Guetta who became well known after the Academy Award nominated documentary about street art, Exit Through the Gift Shop, debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010.

Features a double decker bus marked Birmingham & Coventry over a poster advertisement for Travel over the Open Road with a number plate OK 1239 and the title and text reading: 1922 double-deck body by B.M.M.O. on Tilling-Stevens petrol electric chassis This design was the first to be used in the Midland Red fleet with forward steering. Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Company Limited (BMMO Midland Red Motor Services, 1905-1981) first started operating on Tuesday 1st August 1905. Initially, services were operated with a mix of horse and motor omnibuses, but the early motor omnibuses were found to be unreliable and were replaced by horse buses from Saturday 5th October 1907, but from Saturday 25th May 1912 the motor omnibuses returned. In 1923, the company started building their own design of buses and coaches and this practice continued until 1970, although production was interrupted during the Second World War.

Very rare, 'Last Edition' Beetle, remarkably well preserved and just emerged from 29 years of dry storage.UK-supplied, right-hand drive Last Edition Beetle built in 1977 and first registered 1980One of 300 Last Editions, the final Beetles to roll off the production line in Germany in 1978Showing just 432 miles (atoc), correctly dry-stored and today presented in remarkably well-preserved condition. Certificate from VW shows numbers matchingGleaming Jubilee Silver metallic paintwork over untouched Marine Blue velour trimProbably an unrepeatable opportunity to own a VW motoring icon presented in 'showroom' conditionThe Volkswagen Beetle enjoyed staggering success for many years, and in 1972 became the best-selling car ever, with total production worldwide exceeding 15 million vehicles. However, by that time, the Beetle was starting to seem dated compared with much of the modern competition, and sales were flagging. In an attempt to maintain interest in the cars, VW produced numerous special edition models during the final years of European production. These included the Jeans Beetle, City Beetle, Sun Bug and Marathon Beetle, to give just a few examples.Despite all the special editions, with the Beetle now looking seriously dated, sales continued to decline and the last European-built car left the production line in Emden, Germany on the 19th of January, 1978, immediately taking early retirement in the Wolfsburg Auto Museum. In 1978, to mark the occasion, the final run of 300 German-manufactured, right-hand drive Beetles were all finished in the very special 'Jubilee Silver', a colour unique to this batch and never used on any other model year. The vehicles were each equipped with a 1200cc engine (the most famous of all), blue-corded velour trim, a flat screen (as a nod to the past), heated rear window, fresh air blower and a handbrake dash light. Finally, a dash-mounted plaque states the vehicle's number in the sequence. Unfortunately, these seem to have been supplied to VW dealers separately from the cars, and quite a number of LEBs never received the plaques intended for them.Offered here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive Last Edition Beetle manufactured in 1977 and first registered on 1 August 1980. Emerging from 29 years in warm dry storage, today this example's condition can only be described as remarkable. The Jubilee Silver paintwork presents beautifully and the Marine blue velour trim also appears to be in showroom condition.Accompanying this rare Beetle is a history file containing the original VW instruction manual and service book, VW Certificate, original keys on a fob from the supplying dealer, copy of dealer application for a Licence for a new motor vehicle & Declaration for Registration supplied with the vehicle - 17/07/80, and an independent inspection report carried out prior to this sale.This is a great opportunity to add to a collection of landmark cars or just take ownership of perhaps one of the most well preserved of the German manufactured VW Beetles.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveNumber 255 of 500 examples of the ultimate super-saloon and road-going DTM carOne owner for 30 years and just 26,056 miles (41,934km) from newShort-stroke,16v, 2.5-litre, 4-cyl with an AMG Power Pack producing 235bhp at 7,200rpmPresented in gleaming 'Blauschwarz' (blue/black) metallic with an array of spoilers, splitters, skirts and air damsWhilst aesthetically pleasing these dramatic aerodynamic aids are strictly functionalClassic nineties black leather cockpit, Teutonically efficient yet immensely comfortableOn offer from a private collection and for sale publicly for the first time since newRare opportunity to acquire an example of Mercedes' most radical road car since the Gullwing 25 years ago, the 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II thrilled professionals and the general public alike when it was unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show and legend has it that the entire limited run of 502 cars was sold pre-launch, possibly being squirrelled away by international car collectors. The bitter rivalry between BMW and Mercedes-Benz in saloon car racing throughout Europe helped hone the greatest 'touring cars' of the era and the Evo II was pitted against one of the best touring cars of all time, the E30 M3. A compromise was out of the question and the full-race car, developed for Group 'A' using this sports saloon as a basis, went on to acquire legendary status. Mercedes-Benz took the first three places in the DTM championship in the 1992 season with this remarkable vehicle, which henceforth is referred to, in revelation, as the "Evo II".The engine's output had been raised once again in comparison to the first Evolution model from the previous year, the Evo II now generating 235 horsepower. Top speed was 250 km/h, and the Evo II accelerated from a standing start to 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds. The body had also undergone further refinement on an aesthetic and aerodynamic level and the car's sporting pedigree was emphasised by its muscular stance. In this form, the 190E finally had the match of the M3, and while it was never as naturally gifted as its rival, the brutal and unrelenting way it delivered its performance, and its devotion to technological supremacy, set a precedent for Mercedes performance models that can be traced right the way through to today.The Evo II's body kit is perhaps the most outrageous ever applied to a production car, and the fact it was a product of the ultra-conservative world of early ninety's Mercedes-Benz is even more incredible. The ostentatious, fully adjustable rear spoiler was aerodynamically perfect and its front splitter would make a decent job of cutting the grass, however, despite outward appearances, the Evo II is a comfortable and tractable daily driver.The 255th of 500 built, this Evo II Homologation special-edition is no disappointment and exceeds expectations on every level. Firstly, there is the way it looks. Legend has it that BMW redesigned its wind tunnel after seeing the Evo II race car and none of the excitement has been lost on the road car. With its stunning "Blauschwarz" (blue/black) metallic bodywork devoid of any decals, and with number plates fitted instead of sponsors' logos, it's arguably even more dramatic.The build quality is pure Mercedes-Benz at their best and nothing has been compromised. The full-leather sports seats are both supportive and comfortable, the centre console has a full accompaniment of switches including air-conditioning and electric windows and, with only 26,056 miles (41,934km) from new, the interior wears its 30 years almost imperceptively.All but the first 1,000 of these kilometres were covered by one collector-owner over the last 30 years. Speaking volumes for its ability to be an exciting 'road-going' racecar, without the compromises that this usually entails, is the fact that this owner seems to have used this car more than almost any other in his truly world-class collection. But here is an example that offers the perfect balance of low miles and usability, and has been cherished in one of the world's finest car collections. With growing interest in historic motorsport, has come renewed interest from collectors in the cars that were homologated in order to allow some of the greatest saloon cars of all time to go racing in the first place. This Evo II ranks among the most visually striking of all the homologation specials and warrants pride of place in any collection. But more than that, whilst most of us would love to have an E30 M3 Johnny Cecotto or Robert Ravaglia in our garage, that's where they would be kept. The 250-16 Evo II deserves to be in a large architect-designed, glass-walled space in your house on a raised plinth lit by pencil spotlights. A piece of modern art, Form and Function in perfect harmony.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

A 'C16', right-hand drive, Gen 1 GT3 RS. One of 119 UK cars and only 5,534 miles from newFinished in limited edition Orange, with black wheels and decals and just 5,534 miles from newAn original 'C16' UK-supplied, right-hand drive Gen 1 having formed part of an amazing Private Porsche collectionAn RS version of the 997 GT3 became available in October 2006 weighing some 20 kilos lessThe reduction in weight to 1375kg resulted in an improved power to weight ratio of 300bhp/tonOne for true 911 enthusiast, this RS must be one of the lowest mileage GT3s in existence and we feel represents an excellent opportunity In February 2006, Porsche revealed their first-generation 997 GT3, and in common with all GT2 and GT3 iterations, most of the developments and upgrades were directly related to performance improvements on their competition cars, and the associated homologation requirements for FIA approval. In addition to the new 415bhp, 3.6-litre flat 6 with its 6-speed box, the vehicle pioneered "zero lift" aerodynamics, meaning, at speed, the body shape created only aerodynamic "downforce" with no grip-diminishing "lift" and made extensive use of a racing-related version of Porsche's active PASM suspension system. This made it the first of the quick RS or GT3 versions to feature an electronically adjustable suspension set up. An RS version of the GT3 became available in October of that year weighing some 20 kilos less, and this saving was achieved by the use of a carbon fibre rear wing, a plastic engine cover and a lightweight rear window made from the same material. A slightly wider track was concealed in the muscular rear end provided by the Carrera 4 shell, aiding grip and stability at the expense of a little bit more drag, however, the reduction in weight to 1375Kg resulted in an improved power to weight ratio of 300bhp /ton. The body panels are unique to the 997 GT3 RS, and a small number of cars were painted in a limited-edition Orange colour (8C6) mixed specially for this model.This, 'C16' UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 'Gen 1' example is one of only 119 UK cars and has covered a remarkable 5,534 miles from new. Finished in limited edition orange with black wheels and decals this example has only had two previous owners.This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.One for the true 911 enthusiast, this RS must be one of the lowest mileage GT3s in existence and we feel represents an excellent opportunity.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

That not only makes it look more muscular than a standard Carrera S, it also means that there's a wider track and revised suspension settings.Porsche Torque Vectoring, which includes a mechanical limited-slip differential, is an optional extra on the Carrera S but it comes as standard fit on the 50th Anniversary Edition. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), the marque's impressive adaptive damping system, is also included. The familiar 3.8-litre flat-six, which develops 394bhp at 7400rpm, is carried over unchanged. The paddle-shift PDK gearbox was available as an option at extra cost.Over and above the standard car, the most readily identifiable upgrades include the Fuchs-inspired 20-inch alloy wheels, the darkened headlights surrounds and the chrome highlights across the engine cover. Geyser Grey paintwork is specific to the 50th Anniversary Edition, while a darker shade of grey and the standard Carrera S hue Basalt Black were also available. Inside, cloth seat inserts and a dash-mounted plaque set this limited-edition model apart from the rest of the range.In Sport Plus mode, the car shakes itself down and really comes alive. Support at each corner is ramped up - although since PASM is adaptive it still works on uneven surfaces - throttle response is sharpened, and a brilliant throttle blip function perfectly matches engine and road speeds on the way down the gears.The 50th Anniversary Edition offered here has covered just 11,186 miles from new with a single owner and has Porsche Centre service history (last serviced 27th June 2019 at 10,861 miles). With the look and feel of a 'new' car, this is a real chance to own a limited edition 911 at a very enticing guide price.This was the second retrospectively-styled 911 that Porsche launched in the space of a few years. The 997-based Sport Classic of 2010 has since become a true collectors' item, the 50th Anniversary Edition has a similar cache.This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate.

Superbly finished in black with black leather25,932 warranted miles from new as confirmed by the accompanying MOT CertificatesComplete with the gold 'LE' plaque on the centre consoleComprehensive history file with older MOTs, service records etcIn 1989, marking what was believed to be the end of the forced- induction 911, Porsche created a very special, limited edition 930. With this, its aim was to create the ultimate Turbo. Starting out as a standard 3.3-litre model, the cars were then sent to the 'Exclusive' team at Zuffenhausen who rebuilt each example by hand. Just 50 of these cars were produced, offered at an incredible price of £84,492. Adding to its exclusivity, each Porsche centre was limited to just one example. A host of bespoke, no-cost options was offered, including colour-coded wheel centres, a choice of any colour for the bodywork as well as interior leather and top-tinted windscreen. The car was finished off with a gold plaque on the centre console as recognition for the LE's place in Porsche history. "G927 YND" was first registered on the 3rd August 1989 as a UK market right-hand drive car finished in Black with cream leather upholstery. Since then it has been enjoyed by four previous owners and covered a mere 25,932 warranted miles as detailed by the accompanying MOT certificates in the comprehensive history file. The car has been well maintained throughout its life benefitting from Porsche main dealer servicing up to 23,000 miles in 2006. From this point forward it has been part of a private collection and has led a pampered 2,800-mile existence with regular oil and filter changes carried out at a similar time as the annual MOT's. This original UK supplied right-hand drive, matching numbers example is in stunning condition and presented with the original book pack, V5C and current MOT.
