Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "Spacemobile on the Moon" Signed lower left. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 45c Surface Rover 20th UPU Congress Series stamp issued November 27, 1989. Imagine a young moon child, nose pressed against space station window glass, eagerly awaiting his birthday gift from grandma. A message transmitted to the computer in his playroom told him the gift would come today. Now, his heart races with excitement as he sees the mailman's lunar rover making its way across the rough terrain in the soft light reflected from the huge globe of earth. This scene may seem farfetched, but a popular plan for establishing colonies in outer space begins with a mining operation on the moon to supply the raw materials necessary for building space stations farther away. Among the moon's resources are aluminum and titanium for structural shells, silicon for solar cells, silica for making glass, and oxygen -- unlikely though it may seem, this element is found in moonrock -- for life-support systems and rocket propellant. If a colony was established to extract these treasures, "moon miners" would undoubtedly want to keep in touch with family and friends back on earth, and earthbound grandmas would want to send packages to their grandchildren on the moon. Obviously, some kind of a postal system would be a necessity. Mail would reach the moon via spacecraft, but once on the moon's surface a lunar rover, perhaps like the one illustrated on this painting, would take the place of the trusty, earthbound mail jeep to deliver the letters and packages. Image Size: 16.75 x 14.5 in. Overall Size: 23.25 x 20 in. Unframed. (B12165)

Frances Mary Hodgkins (New Zealand/British 1869-1947) The Mill Wheel signed 'Frances Hodgkins' (lower right) watercolour39 x 48cmProvenance: With Alex Reid & Lefevre Ltd., where acquired by the parents of the current owner The present lot is probably the picture which was exhibited in 1943 at the Lefevre Galleries, Gouaches by Frances Hodgkins - A New Series of Gouaches painted during 1942-3, March-April 1943, cat. no. 5. We are grateful to Mary Kisler for her assistance with cataloguing this lot.Footnote: Although she is today considered one of New Zealand’s most distinguished modern artists, it was during her time in Western Europe, particularly in Britain, that Frances Hodgkins developed her distinctive style and palette - deviating from the pervasive influence of Impressionism towards the Modernist style that she would ultimately be recognised for. Born in Dunedin, New Zealand, in 1869 to English emigre, William Mathew Hodgkins, a solicitor, barrister and part-time painter and his Australian wife, Rachel Owen, Hodgkins enjoyed a rich childhood, both materially and culturally. Encouraged by their father, a dedicated votary of watercolour painting and a founding member of the Otago Society of Artists and the Dunedin Public Art Gallery, Frances and her elder sister, Isabel, spent their formative years sketching and painting the New Zealand landscape. Although it is generally accepted that Isabel’s artistic talents, particularly in landscape painting, were more apparent in these early years, Frances’ career would ultimately outpace that of her sister’s. In 1893, following her inaugural exhibition three years prior, Hodgkins began studying under Italian artist, Girolamo Nerli. Whilst the early tutelage provided by her father equipped Hodgkins with her fundamental techniques, her relationship with Nerli undoubtedly changed the trajectory of her career. Under Nerli, Hodgkins’ style evolved, demonstrating a boldness of form and colour previously unseen in her work. In 1901, after studying, and briefly teaching, at the Dunedin School of Art, Hodgkins left New Zealand for Europe. Over the intervening 12 years, Hodgkins travelled extensively, oscillating between continents and imbibing inspiration from every place she visited - in her own words: “I wanted to see the masterpieces of all time; learn what was being done in my chosen medium and measure myself against the moderns”. Although this period in her career does not reflect the full maturation of her style, Hodgkins was nonetheless beginning to receive critical acclaim, winning numerous prizes and having her work exhibited by several eminent institutions, notably, in Paris, the Salon and the Société Internationale d'Aquarellistes. In 1908, Hodgkins settled in Paris, where she became the first woman to be appointed as instructor at the Académie Colarossi and established her own school for watercolour painting. Although this was a professionally fertile time for Hodgkins, the outbreak of the First World War forced her to flee Paris and settle in St Ives, Cornwall. Despite this being a period of great financial hardship for Hodgkins, it was also a time of immense creative freedom and experimentation. In St Ives, Hodgkins was quickly accepted into the artistic circle and soon found herself associated with artists including Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Graham Sutherland and John and Myfanwy Piper. It was also around this time that Hodgkins, encouraged by her close friends, Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett-Haines, began experimenting in oils and developing her distinctive Modernist style. After living and working in Cornwall for eight years, Hodgkins spent several years living between Manchester, Paris and Cornwall, before moving to London in 1927 where she swiftly gained the admiration of influential London dealer, Arthur Howell of St George’s Gallery in Hanover Square. The partnership between Hodgkins and Howell precipitated a longstanding relationship with the Lefevre and Leicester Galleries, which would last until her death in 1947. Although Hodgkins was recognised as an exceptionally gifted artist during her lifetime, as a member of the avant-garde, she remained on the peripheries of the commercial art world and, resultingly, achieved very little financial success. Today, however, Hodgkins’ work is prized by collectors and institutions across the globe. Traversing between styles, hemispheres and disciplines, Hodgkins’ remarkable oeuvre is demonstrative of her fearless spirit and is characterised by her daring palette and bold, simplified forms.Condition report: Watercolour on paper stuck down to cardboard and surrounded by cardboard mount, circa 1943. Possibly some fading, though the palette is characteristic of Hodgkins' watercolours. There is some minor and scattered foxing, and the surface is a little discoloured due to ingrained surface dirt, there is also a small, brown, pinhead sized accretion to the centre of the image. Where there is no paint on the surface, the paper shows typical age toning. There is some typical acid burning beneath the mount and some faint scores across the surface, though these may be intrinsic to the piece.
