Every Astronaut and Cosmonaut were equipped with an Omega Speedmaster Professional and in the case of Alexey Loenov, two. To celebrate this, in 1976 the Jeweller De Marchi of Turin took delivery of a group of special celebratory Apollo Soyuz watches with the mission badge on the dial and a special embossed case back depicting the Saturn Rocket on a map of the world. The back was also lightly engraved with the limited edition number, an I for Italy and an Ω.The present watch was bought new in 1980 at a large discount when it is possible that the Italian market was a difficult place to sell this particular piece. It was soon inherited by the present owner who left it unused in a draw for many years and only sporadically wearing it. For this reason, the dial is in excellent condition with virtually no UV damage. Very few of these original pieces were created and they have been celebrated ever since with anniversary editions being produced at 20, 25 and 30 years.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

• RICHARD LONG RA (BRITISH B.1945) Property sold to Benefit Turner's House, Twickenham (lots 36-42)Sandycombe Lodge, Turner’s House in Twickenham, offers a unique insight into the life and works of Britain’s greatest landscape painter, JMW Turner. Completed in 1813, Turner intended it as a quiet retreat, away from the pressures of the London art world; a place to which he would invite friends and indulge in his passion for fishing.Some of the house's features reflect the influence of Turner's great friend and fellow fisherman Sir John Soane, who had built his own country property near by - Pitzhanger Manor in Ealing - just a few years earlier and was architect of the Bank of England and Dulwich Picture Gallery. But Turner was very much his own designer, his construction of Sandycombe Lodge revealing a lot about his ideal for living and, true to character, is typically idiosyncratic. A private residence since Turner sold the house in 1826, its last owner, Professor Harold Livermore, lived there since 1947. Professor Livermore died in 2010, and in his will left the house in Trust, now Turner's House Trust. The Trust has since overseen its complete restoration, returning the property to how Turner had intended it, and recreating the quiet, domestic interiors that Turner would have known. Since opening to the public in 2017, the house has hosted a series of critically acclaimed exhibitions that have shone new light on Turner’s life and art. The Trust also works closely with community organisations, offering programmes to alleviate mental and physical ill health.Much of the funding for the house is from private donations, and the following seven lots by Richard Long and Peter Blake have been generously donated by the artists to raise funds to maintain the property and secure its future. To find out more about the house and how you can help support it visit www.turnershouse.org.uk. RICHARD LONG RA (BRITISH B.1945)RIVER AVON MUD FINGERPRINTS signed and dated Richard Long 2014 on the reversemud finger prints on painted cupboard door73 x 59cm; 28 3/4 x 23 1/4in(unframed)ProvenanceA gift from the artist to Turner's House, TwickenhamIn the present work, Long uses his index finger dipped in mud from the River Avon to make marks in lines which radiate from the centre. He says of his art: 'All my work is simple. I like the primal energy of just handprints or fingerprints. It's like cave painting.' Born in Bristol, where he still lives, Long's work is based around walking and the direct experience of nature. While still a student at St Martin's School of Art in the mid-'60s he began making walks, photographing the traces he had made (the flattened grass, stones displaced, paths formed), or marking the course of the walk on a map. Long first used mud as a medium in 1969, describing it as 'a simple, direct natural material'. Later he began laying rocks or twigs in straight lines or circles, and then started reconstructing these works in interior settings, although the walk remained the basis for collecting the natural material.Long represented Britain at the 37th Venice Biennale in 1976, and won the Turner Prize in 1989. He received the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres from the French Ministry of Culture in 1990, was elected a Royal Academician in 2001, and in 2009 was the recipient of the Praemium Imperiale for sculpture from Japan.
