* FRANK DOCHERTY RSW (SCOTTISH b. 1942),WEST HIGHLAND LANDSCAPEoil on board, signed and dated '92, titled verso image size 59cm x 59cm, overall size 77cm x 77cm Framed and under glass.Note: Frank Docherty was born in Glasgow and trained at Glasgow School of Art from 1960 - 1964. He was elected RSW in 1978. For more than a decade he has lived and worked in the South of France at Monfort Sur Argens where one of his neighbours and closest friends is Eric Idle of Monty Python fame. Docherty is something of a rebel of his generation of Scottish artists and he is not scared to express himself and have a light poke at life's comedies and tragedies. Frank's quirky paintings are suited to a mature art taste where the appreciation is in the narrative form, rather than the decorative. Frank Docherty’s paintings are represented in private collections in France, Brussels, London, Stockholm and Los Angeles and of course, Glasgow and all around Scotland.
ERNI UPTON,FAVOURITE VIEW, MULL FROM NORTH IONAoil on canvas, signed, further signed and titled versoimage size 51cm x 101cm, overall size 72cm x 122cmFramed. Artist's label verso.Note: A Scot, born in Ayrshire in 1936, Erni Upton has been painting since childhood. Schooled at Ayr Grammar & Ayr Academy, much of his youth was spent with the fisherfolk of West Scotland and their boats and he still cruises these waters each year. He trained at Glasgow School of Art, where he studied under Donaldson, Mathieson and Robertson. His work reflects their influences and those of the Scottish colourists who like him, spent much time in the wonderful light and colours of the West Coast. Painting in this tradition, he works with oils on canvas, using both brush and knife. In 1985, after many years in banking, he returned to Art & Design when he established an interior design company in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. He continued to work in oils, mainly commissions for corporate and private clients, but it was not until 1999, when the company was sold, that more time became available for painting. His work is successfully shown in many galleries in England, Scotland and abroad, most recently in Istanbul, where he was invited, as a result of commission work, to have a solo exhibition at the British Embassy, and a subsequent solo at one of the premier galleries in the city. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society for Arts, London, in November 2004. In recent years exhibition venues have included: Rowles Fine Arts, Strathearn Gallery, Greens & Blues Gallery, Morningside Gallery, Annan Gallery, Iona House Gallery, Alpha Gallery, Queens Gallery, Gigha Gallery, Holyrood Gallery and Frames Gallery. In The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 9th May 2021, two Iona paintings by Erni Upton (lots 787 & 789) sold for prices of £2000 & £2800 (hammer).

She was part of a new generation of racing yachts, the new 19m Class which was a descendant of the historic Big Class racing and a precursor of the J-Class which arrived in the 1930s. In the early 1990s Mariquita went through major restoration (by Fairlie Restorations) and once re-built she set sale again taking part in countless regattas including Monaco Classic Week, Regates Royales Cannes and Les Voiles de Saint Tropez. In 2014 she was victorious, taking home the Big Boat Panerai Trophy. Mariquita's timeless elegance and incredible pedigree has contributed to her being widely regarded as one of the most beautiful historic racing yachts afloat today.

She loved bringing the ever changing Scottish countryside to life in her paintings. Mary also found great inspiration from travel abroad, enjoying the challenge of capturing unfamiliar scenes and different light. Mary Batchelor paintings are influenced by the strong tradition of Scottish colourists. She credited Scottish Colourists - Cadell, Peploe, Fergusson and Hunter as a source of great inspiration in her paintings. She admired the bold use of colour and texture, and the confidence exuded in every brush stroke which has contributed so richly to the tradition of Scottish painting.

He lived in Ukraine, Leningrad, and Moscow. Studied in VKhUTEMAS from Kupreyanov. From 1926 on Boim participated in hundreds of exhibitions at home and abroad. He exhibited with such prominent artists as N. Altman, S. Chekhonin, G. Klutsis, V. Lebedev, El Lissitzky, K. Malevich, L. Popova, A. Rodchenko, V. Tatlin, P. Filonov, Stenberg Brothers, and V. Stepanova. His favorite subjects included architecture and cityscapes (mostly Leningrad/St. Petersburg and Moscow), nautical themes and the Navy, and Great Patriotic War. Boim's paintings were influenced by Socialist Realism and Russian Impressionism. Boim's works are widely recognized. They may be seen in the former Soviet Union in the Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, and other major museums.This lot comes from the collection of Viktor Kholodkov (1948-2015), who fulfilled his passion for books, avant-garde design and paper memorabilia by devoting his life to collecting and dealing of prominent works of Russian graphic art of the first half of the 20th century. The dedicated collector acquired a multitude of books and artworks throughout decades, meticulously labeling and archiving every single item. Many came directly from the most preeminent artists of the time, as well as from their families and estates. He also possessed a vast number of drawings from the famous collection of another avant-garde enthusiast, Nikolai Khardzhiev. After leaving the USSR in 1989 and settling in California, Viktor continued his work as a Soviet art dealer and critic, actively publishing various articles and contributing to several major Russian avant-garde exhibitions across the U.S., such as the 1991 Russia Under Fire in the 40s on the West Coast and the 1992 Guggenheim exhibition The Great Utopia: The Russian and Soviet Avant-Garde. Kholodkov also contributed to the archives of the biggest American institutions. His sophisticated selection of over 2000 Russian sheet music covers was acquired by The Library of Congress, and an extensive amount of material related to VKhUTEMAS is now at the J. Paul Getty Museum.CONDITIONUnframed, the painting appears in good condition. Minor wear and bumping to the perimeter. A crease to the lower right corner.
