⊕ LYNN CHADWICK (BRITISH 1914-2003)RAD LAD IIIsigned and numbered Chadwick 2/3 363bronzeheight: 43cm; 17inProperty from a Private Collection, West London Executed in 1961. Sarah Chadwick, the artist's daughter, has confirmed that the present work is recorded in the Chadwick archive as Chadwick 2/3 363 and was cast in an edition of four. ProvenanceMarlborough Fine Art Ltd, LondonPurchased from the above by the mother of the present owner 13th August 1965ExhibitedLondon, Marlborough Fine Art, Summer Exhibition, 1965, no.13LiteratureDennis Farr and Éva Chadwick, Lynn Chadwick Sculptor, With a Complete Illustrated Catalogue 1947-2003, London, 2014, p. 199, no. 363In Rad Lad III a rugged and ridged head and body sit on three angular, tapering legs, the rough geometric form half human, half robot. Chadwick's light-hearted title - an abbreviation for 'radiator man' or plumber - refers to the work's corrugated surfaces, but belies the more insidious presence the bronze's spectre-like form suggests. Other more prescient titles he gave to similar sculptures of single figures he completed in the early 1960s included Watcher, Detector and Inquisitor. Such labels of monitoring and surveillance reference the perceived existential threats present in the geo-politics of the day, when the Russian-American Cold War was entrenched, the Cuban Missile crisis was threatening, the Berlin Wall under construction and the horrors of the Vietnam War were unfolding. Chadwick's developing interest in casting in bronze followed a formidably successful decade of development, beginning with his first solo show at Gimpel Fils in Mayfair in 1950, three separate large scale commissions for the Festival of Britain in 1951 and inclusion both in the Battersea Park Open Air Sculpture Exhibition, and the exhibition American Abstraction in New York the same year. In 1952 he was featured as one of eight young emerging British sculptors in the Venice Biennale, others included Kenneth Armitage, Reg Butler, Eduardo Paolozzi and William Turnbull. His meteoric rise continued when in 1956 he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale, winning the International Sculpture Prize against the favourite Alberto Giacometti.

⊕ LAURENCE STEPHEN LOWRY (BRITISH 1887-1976) GOING TO THE MATCHsigned in pencil L.S.Lowry lower right margin; with the Fine Art Trade Guild stamp lower left marginoffset lithograph52 x 68cm; 20 1/4 x 26 3/4in 74 x 86cm; 29 x 33 3/4in (framed)Property from a Private Collection, CambridgeshireProvenanceAcquired by the aunt of the present owner in the early 1970s.Printed in 1972 in an edition of 300, the present work is the limited edition lithograph Lowry produced of one of his most popular oil paintings from 1953 of the same title. Lowry had originally entered his oil painting Going to the Match into a competition held jointly by the Football association and the Arts Council of Great Britain in 1953. The entries had to make a connection between art and football. Lowry's Going to the Match won first prize. The work depicts crowds of his iconic ‘matchstick men’ swarming to a football match at the stadium at Burnden Park, the former home of Bolton Wanderers, at the time one of the leading clubs in the country. Lowry was in fact a Manchester City fan but the Bolton ground was close to Pendlebury where Lowry lived (the stadium was demolished in 1999). In the work Lowry is an outside observer of human life and not part of the crowd he depicts as in many of his works. Lowry focuses on the fans attending the match rather than the game itself, combining his most popular subjects: the industrial landscapes of the north of England, the role of sport in the everyday lives and the weekly rituals of those who worked in the mills and factories.Lowry's 1953 oil was sold at Christie's London on 19th October 2022 where it was purchased by the Lowry Arts Centre, Salford (with the help of the Law Family Foundation), for £7.8 million. The painting had been loaned to the Centre for 22 years when it was put up for auction by the then owners, The Professional Footballers' Association.

Löpsinger, Salvador Dali, Catalogue Raisonne of Etchings and Mixed-media Prints 1924-1980, Munich, 1994, pp. 377 - 387Albert Field, The Official Catalog of the Graphic Work of Salvador Dali, Dali Archives, 1996, p. 69 - 13GExecuted in 1969-70, the subject matter of Dali's The Hippies Suite - eleven dry point etchings with handcolouring - was inspired by photographs brought back from a trip to India by his friend and publisher Pierre Argillet (1910-2001), images Dali considered representative of the 'swinging sixties'. Argillet and his wife Genevieve had first met Dali in 1959, and worked together on a series of limited edition albums over the following fifteen years. Collaboration between artist and publisher led to the production of The Mytholopgy Suite (1963-65) and the Poems of Mao Tse-Toung (1967), as well as the present set. Friends with a range of artists aligned with Surrealism, Argillet also published limited editions by Hans Bellmer, Giorgio de Chirico, Jean Cocteau and Leonor Fini.

After a well-publicised and determined duel, Warne was victorious, taking wicket number 500 on March 12, during the 1st Test in Galle. By the end of the tour, the ledger read: Warne 517 wickets, Muralitharan 513 - with West Indian great Courtney Walsh's world record of 519 wickets ready to be broken It was Muralitharan who first claimed that illustrious 'crown', passing Walsh's record during Sri Lanka's Test series against Zimbabwe in May 2004. The champion off-spinner set a new world record when he captured his 520th wicket in the 1st Test in Harare on May 8. Muralitharan then dismissed a further seven Zimbabwean batsmen in the series to take his tally to 527. Shane Warne's quest to overhaul Muralitharan in the world wicket-taking began in the two-Test series against Sri Lanka in Darwin and Cairns in July. Warne took 3 wickets in the 1st Test in Darwin to move within reach of Muralitharan, before equalling his world record mark with a sensational haul of 7 wickets in the 2nd Test in Cairns! Warne held the record until it was broken by Muralitharan on December 3, 2007A superb item of Cricket Memorabilia to celebrate the two statistically greatest Bowlers of all time!

STATUETTE DE TSANGNYON HERUKA EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRETIBET CENTRAL, PROVINCE DE TSANG, FIN DU XVE/XVIE SIÈCLE Himalayan Art Resources item no. 31441 41 cm (16 1/8 in.) high Footnotes:A COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF TSANGNYON HERUKA CENTRAL TIBET, TSANG PROVINCE, LATE 15TH/16TH CENTURY Published Marylin Rhie & Robert Thurman, Wisdom and Compassion: The Sacred Art of Tibet, Expanded Edition, 2000, New York, p. 443, no. 196 (67a). Meinrad Maria Grewenig & Eberhard Rist (eds), Buddha: 2000 years of Buddhist Art, 232 Masterpieces, Völklingen, 2016, p. 451, no. 198. Exhibited Buddha: 2000 years of Buddhist Art, 232 Masterpieces, Völklingen, 24 June 2016 —19 February 2017. This is one of the largest bronze sculptures of Tsangnyon Heruka (1452-1507), perhaps second only to a repoussé figure in the Pritzker Collection (HAR 58303). Guised as a mahasiddha, the 'Madman of Tsang' wears a tiger-skin apron and a cross-belt fashioned from bones. Notably, he resembles the preeminent mahasiddha, Virupa (8th-9th century), who is often shown with an elaborate topknot, a skull cup, and a raised right arm. Present iconography that distinguishes Tsangnyon Heruka from Virupa here include a Buddha within the central leaf of his crown, a corpulent deity located at the center of his cross-belt, a vajra formerly held in his right hand, and the absence of a flower sash or a sutra wedged in his hair. To the lower edge of this sculpture's base is added a vajra with fluttering ribbons and a pair crouching snow lions. Originally an ordained follower of the Kagyu tradition, Tsangnyon Heruka abandoned monasticism to pursue the tantric life, garnering the epithet, the 'Madman of Tsang'. Inspired by early Indian texts and the mahasiddhas, he inhabited burial grounds, wearing and even eating what he found there. Despite his unusual behavior, Tsangnyon Heruka attracted numerous disciples as he travelled through Tibet and Nepal in the poet-saint Milarepa's (1052-1135) footsteps. He is one of Tibet's most celebrated authors, being among the first to have his works printed with woodblocks, funding and developing the technology which would have a profound effect on Tibetan culture. Tsangnyon Heruka's most famous writings include the biographies of Milarepa and Marpa (1012-97). He inspired a rich biographical tradition within the Kagyu, to which his pupils added those of Tilopa (988-1069), Naropa (956-1040) and Rechungpa (1084-1161). Cast with piercing eyes and an immense stomach, this powerful sculpture was crafted in the non-gilt workshops of Tsang, the same province in Central Tibet where Tsangnyon Heruka was from. The style of the necklace and densely packed lotus pedestal are reminiscent of imperial Chinese bronzes gifted to prominent Tsang monasteries, such as a large Yongle Virupa now in the Cleveland Museum of Art (fig. 1; 1972.96). A similar sized Tibetan gilt bronze of Naropa from the 15th/16th century is in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (M.2001.45). Lastly, compare two smaller Tsang examples, one of Virupa in the Rubin Museum of Art, New York (HAR 65219) and another of Tsangnyon Heruka in private hands (HAR 12755).For the figures listed in this essay, please refer to our printed or digital catalogue.藏紐赫魯加銅像藏中 十五世紀晚期/十六世紀著錄Marylin M.

We provide this information for guidance only and will not be held responsible for oversights concerning defects or restoration, nor does a reference to a particular defect imply the absence of any others. Prospective purchasers must accept these reports as genuine efforts by Gorringes or must take other steps to verify condition of lots.
