§ ALEXANDER JAMES (BRITISH B.1967) CALIGO EURILOCHUS (4489) Edition II, chromogenic print, flush-mounted on aluminium(60cm x 60cm (23.5in x 23.5in))Footnote: Note: This work was created within a velvet lined tank of highly purified water. It is a remarkably complex and precise process that can take months of set-up just to produce a single photograph, and has taken the artist over a decade to perfect. The butterflies featured are bred by the artist, placed in a state of suspended animation and then delicately placed in the water. Once removed from the water, they will spring back to life unfazed and ready to create the next generation for James to photograph. As quoted in the New Statesman: "James likes leaving viewers “unsettled” and a little unsure of what they are looking at: “Regardless of the size, the subtlety of the works is very much a device used to allow deception to occur. By deception I mean that nine out of ten people that see the works for the first time think they are, in fact, paintings.”

‘Gangsta Rat’ (Seel St / Liverpool Bienniale 2004)Stencil and Spray paint on PlywoodSize: 49.8 x 49.8 cm Framed in a bespoke box and behind glass (19.6 x 19.6 inches) Framed 60cm x 60cm(Unique)PROVENANCEExecuted on an abandoned building on Seel St and timed to coincide with the 2004 Liverpool Biennale, this piece was produced at the same time as a number of other public works, all of which were located within a short walk of each other, on the border of Chinatown, and in between the neighbourhoods of Knowledge Quarter and Baltic Triangle. It has been in the same private ownership since it was salvaged in 2004.NOTERats are iconic in Banksy street art prints, because they are emblematic of street art itself. Banksy rats reference the so-called father of stencil graffiti,” Blek Le Rat. This French stencil artist, who made his name in the 1980s, was similarly fond of rats as subjects because of their massive, if negatively perceived, impact on populations.Banksy’s Gangsta Rat is shown sitting down next to a large, portable “boom-box” stereo. He is wearing a working-class New York City uniform of a heavy chain medallion necklace and a NY Mets baseball cap. His expression is one of surprise — as if he is equally as startled by the viewer’s expression as we are of his own.The market is relatively small for street pieces as not many have survived, even though they are by far the most important. This stencil is featured in Banksy’s self-published book ‘Cut it Out’. Rats are one of Banksy’s most prolific subjects, and Gangsta Rat is a truly iconic Banksy artwork. The screen print first appeared in 2004 in the red colorway with a limited edition of 350 signed and unsigned pieces, and was re-released in 2005 in an edition of 500. Banksy also created rare colorways of Gangsta Rat (Pink) in an edition of 64 and Gangsta Rat (Green) in an edition of 20 in 2004, and released a special VIP collector set at Dismaland in 2015. Banksy has reproduced Gangsta Rat as graffiti art in the streets and on canvas, and urban art lovers all over the world have imprinted the image on coffee mugs, t-shirts, posters, and their bodies.(Please refer to department for Condition report.

Lots 289-301The following collection of cartoons were all produced for Biorex Laboratories Ltd.. Incorporated on 5 October 1944, it was set up by a doctor and a chemist, who had studied at Cambridge and was interested in the natural extract of plants and materials. Since the 17th century, liquorice had been used to treat stomach ulcers - and the main extract was glycyrrhetinic acid which Biorex then developed into a cream called Biosone GA, which had the same qualities of hydrocortisone cream. The cartoons were hung in the boardroom and were most probably all part of a marketing campaign in the 1950s. They were given to the vendor who started working at the company in 1965.*(Frederick) Rowland Emett (1906-1990) 'The Logical Train' signed 'Emett', pencil and pen with a green wash, on a Windsor and Newton's Fashion Plate Board, 35 x 46cmRowland Emett was born in New Southgate, London on 22 October 1906, the elder son of the proprietor of a small advertising business.Educated at Waverley Grammar School, Birmingham, he showed his father’s enthusiasm for invention, and registered his first patent at the age of fourteen. However, he had ambitions to be a landscape painter and studied with great success at the Birmingham School of Art. The combination of artistic and scientific talents allowed Emett to work as an industrial draughtsman, while contributing with increasing regularity to Punch, Lilliput and other magazines from the late 1930s.During the Second World War, Emett worked as a draughtsman on the development of jet engines. In 1941, he was chosen to illustrate 'Bells and Grass', a series of humorous rhymes that Walter de la Mare had originally written for Punch. The poet was so impressed by the result that he immediately encouraged Emett to illustrate an edition of his more famous book, 'Peacock Pie'. In the same year, Emett married, and he and his wife set about producing the delightful children’s book, 'Anthony and Antimacassar' (1943). About the same time, Emett’s cartoons began to be collected in volume form, 'A Book of Curious Happenings' (1943) initiating a series that culminated in 'Far Twittering' (1949).In 1951, Emett reached a wider public with his designs for The Far Tottering and Oyster Creek Railway, and its featured engine, 'Nellie', which was sited at Battersea Park during the Festival of Britain. As his eyesight faltered, he converted more of his illustrations into increasingly complex three-dimensional machines that, from 1956, he constructed himself at a blacksmith’s forge near his home in West Sussex. He received international success through his work on the film 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' (1968), when he gave substance to the adventures of the inventor, Caractacus Potts. He achieved this by employing a team of assistants to help him make eight of his machines for the filming and a further thirty-seven for international promotional purposes. These and other inventions continue to prove popular throughout the world and remain on public exhibition in such esteemed institutions as the National Air and Space Museum in Washington.A parodist of the real world of functional engineering, Emett had long proved to be the Genius of British Eccentricity, a fact acknowledged by his being awarded an OBE in 1978. This was confirmed by the overwhelming response to the most important exhibition of his career, ‘Rowland Emett: From 'Punch' to 'Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang' and beyond’ at the Chris Beetles Gallery in 1988 and, augmented by a number of the machines, at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington. He died on 13 November 1990 in a nursing home in Hassocks, Sussex, close to Wild Goose Cottage, his home in Ditchling.Condition report: Board is browned. Creased/Knocked bottom right corner.
