* TIM DOLBY (BRITISH b 1954), BURNISHED Verre Églomisé, signed 60cm x 90cm Framed. Note: The term Verre Églomisé is derived from the French for glass (verre) and Glomy (églomisé) from Jean-Baptise Glomy an 18th Century Parisian art dealer who re-popularised the technique. It is a very old technique first used in pre Roman times but became popular again in the 15th Century and has been used in many art and craft forms with a resurgence of interest taking place now. Essentially it involves a mix of applying Gold leaf, painting and engraving onto the back of glass. This requires the Artist to be able to build up the image in reverse to what is the norm when painting on the front side. That is to say, the top layer goes on first and subsequent layers are applied until finally you apply the background layer. Gold leaf is applied using a substance called Isinglass to create a firm bond between leaf and glass. It comes from the swim bladders of fish and creates an invisible bond leaving the leaf with a mirror like surface on the glass. When combined with enamel paint the result are paintings which are highly dynamic as they catch the light and reflect differently as you move around the room. Over the years, Tim Dolby has developed a mastery of the technique in a unique contemporary style.
Lot 661
* BRUCE TIPPETT (BRITISH 1933 - 2017), LANDSCAPE WITH REEDS charcoal on paper, signed and dated 14.03.58 42cm x 53cm Mounted, framed and under glass. Artist labels verso. Note: Bruce Tippett was a British born artist who was championed by Philip Granville (Lord's Gallery, London) and the legendary Betty Parsons (Betty Parsons Gallery, New York) and others. Jane England writes in her 1992 catalogue : "[In 1957], he […] saw Japanese brush paintings for the first time at the British Museum [which now houses nine Bruce Tippett drawings]. He recalls now that 'Something awoke in me and I entered another realm'. The works of the Japanese calligraphers inspired him by their mixture of spontaneity and contemplation. Like the Zen masters, Tippett achieved spontaneity by constantly paring down the image and concentrating on its essential spirit, with no sign of the struggle involved. When Tippett first saw a work by Hartung at Gimpel Fils in May 1958, he was struck by the similarities of their respective calligraphic styles. These similarities had different origins. In Tippett's case the energetic strokes and lines came from his early drawings of reeds and stakes in marsh landscapes and the studies he had made of building structures, whereas Hartung's expressive calligraphy came from his early experiments with automatism." Alan Bowness pointed out in his "Portrait of the Artist" (1958) that "having made the first steps on his own Tippett realized that the calligraphic paintings of Hartung pointed in the direction he wished to go […] but by the end of 1957 Tippett had reached something that was recognizably an original manner, and the drawings done then and at the beginning of this year have a remarkable ease and assurance." After Peggy Guggenheim closed her Art of This Century gallery in 1947, Parsons was one of only a very few gallery owners to promote avant-garde American art at a time when the commercial demand for it was minuscule. The Betty Parsons Gallery was also, for a considerable time, the only gallery in the US which promoted and supported Abstract Expressionism. Parsons played a major and significant role in establishing New York as the centre of the art world and Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, William Congdon, Clyfford Still, Theodorus Stamos, Ellsworth Kelly, Hedda Sterne, Forrest Bess, Michael Loew, Lyman Kipp, Judith Godwin, Tony Smith, Robert Rauschenberg, Barnett Newman and many other artists owed much to Betty Parsons. Bruce Tippett first visited New York in 1965 when Dorothy Miller bought one of his paintings for MOMA. He met Parsons at the Venice Biennale in 1966 and immediately afterwards she visited his studio in Rome and bought several paintings and drawings for her gallery. Bruce Tippett exhibited regularly at The Betty Parsons Gallery from 1967 and had his last solo show there in 1981, the year before Betty died. Bruce Tippett continued to exhibit in the US and the UK and even more frequently in Italy and France. He died in France in 2017, where he had lived and worked since 2005. His work is held in some of the most important collections in the US and Europe including The Louvre (Paris), The British Museum (London), Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna (Rome) and MOMA (New York), yet in his country of birth, his work remains relatively unknown.
