* JUDITH GARDNER NEAC RBA, MELTING SNOW oil on board, titled label verso 24cm x 24cm Framed. Artist's label verso. Note: Judith Gardner studied contemporary art at Maidstone College of Art where she gained a BA Honours in Fine Art. For a number of years she taught art at the East Berkshire College, Windsor. In 1998 she decided to become a full time contemporary artist. Judith Gardner was elected a member of the Royal Society of British Artists in 2000 and of the Small Paintings Group in 2003. Judith Gardner is quoted as saying 'My painting is representational to a certain extent. It begins with an idea based on strong observation. Once the composition has been decided upon, the reality to a point is not so necessary for me to develop the painting. This enables me to create light and atmosphere with tone, colour and brushwork'. Judith Gardner paintings are regularly exhibited at The Royal Academy of Art Summer Exhibition (London), the RBA, Royal Institute of Oil Painters, New English Art Club Exhibitions, British Painters Exhibition, Pastel Society and The Royal Society of Marine Artists. Judith Gardner has been awarded numerous contemporary art awards the most significant being The Italia Prize and the De Laszlo Art Medal at the Royal Society of British Artists 2003 Exhibition. Her work is promoted, exhibited and sold at Red Rag Gallery, Thompson's Gallery and others.

* DAVID TONER (SCOTTISH B. 1944), THE HOUSE AT MIRLEES DRIVE mixed media on paper, signed and dated '85 43cm x 61cm Mounted, framed and under glass. Provenance: The late Helen E.C. Cargill Thompson. Note: Dr Helen E C Cargill Thompson (1933 - 2020) has been recognised for her contribution to both librarianship and the art world. Born in Burma in 1933, on the outbreak of World War II she returned to Glasgow to live with her grandparents in Mirrlees Drive, close to Glasgow Botanic Gardens. Her great grand-uncle was a founder of Burmah Oil Company. Her love of art developed in the city’s Kelvingrove Galleries. Dr Cargill Thompson was educated at Cheltenham Ladies College and then read Physiology and Pharmacology at St Andrews University. She went on to do a PhD at Edinburgh University which was research into the contraceptive pill. In 1970, Dr Cargill Thompson began work at the Andersonian Library at Strathclyde University, being appointed as the Head of the library’s new Reference and Information Division in 1982. Close to retirement in 1999, she was awarded the Princess Royal Medal for services to the discipline. Dr Cargill Thompson’s collecting and patronage was in the family tradition. A well-known character in the West of Scotland, especially at exhibition openings and private views. She lived frugally using public transport around the city and never viewed her passion for collecting art as a monetary investment. Dr Cargill Thompson was a truly public-spirited Glaswegian and throughout her time at Strathclyde University she supported the Collins Gallery (closed 2013) and in 1999 she gifted a substantial part of her collection of contemporary art to the University and a portion of her contemporary silver collection to The Glasgow School of Art.
Lot 612
* CONSTANTIN KLUGE (RUSSIAN/FRENCH 1912 - 2003), BORDS DE SEINE ENNEIGÉS À RUEIL (SNOWY DAY ON THE RIVER SEINE AT RUEIL, PARIS) oil on canvas, signed 51cm x 61cm Framed. Note: Constantin Kluge was a Russian-born French painter best known for his naturalistic scenes of Paris and French countryside in a style reminiscent of Albert Marquet. Kluge was born to a wealthy military family on January 29, 1912 in Riga, Latvia, which was then a large, industrial Russian port city. He spent much of his childhood and young adult life between Manchuria, Beijing, and Hong Kong, where he discovered a love for brush and ink painting. Kluge studied architecture at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris and earned his diploma in 1937. Upon graduating, he painted the city’s river banks and streets before returning to Shanghai. With the rise of Communism in China, the artist fled to Paris in 1950 and began exhibiting in the French Salons. He was a success both artistically and financially. Of his many awards, he received the Gold Medal, Salon des Artistes Francais and was made Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur by the French Government. He died on January 9, 2003 in Paris, France. Kluge’s works are in the collections of the Musée d’Orsay and the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris, among many others. Our only recent example of Constantin Kluge's work was "Notre Dame, Paris" from the same private collection, which sold for £4200 (hammer), Lot 547 (The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction, 26th May 2019).
Lot 641
* GORDON H WYLLIE RSW DA (SCOTTISH 1930 - 2005), AUTUMN MOON gouache on paper, signed and dated '82, titled label verso 11.5cm x 16cm Mounted, framed and under glass. Handwritten label verso. Note: Gordon Wyllie was born in Greenock and in 1949 was accepted to study at the Glasgow School of Art. Under the tutelage of such luminaries as Edward Odling and Mary and Willie Armour, Gordon distinguished himself, graduating in 1953 after an eminent final year. He was awarded the post-diploma, or Master's course, won the Scottish Academy Award and also the Newbery Medal, the school's most prestigious prize. This was all the more remarkable considering that Gordon had, in his diploma year, returned home to care for his father, whose seriously deteriorating health ended in death two months before the degree show, and Gordon himself had suffered a bout of pneumonia. With a scholarship award, he studied that summer at Hospitalfield, Arbroath, as a post-graduate under Ian Fleming. Fleming inspired Gordon and encouraged him in abstraction, with which he occupied himself for the next few years. Meanwhile, he trained at Jordanhill College of Education in Glasgow to become a teacher, in the vanguard of the resurgence of art teaching in Scottish schools by the new art masters, undoubtedly because they painted actively while teaching full-time. Passionate about art education, he was instrumental in influencing many students to pursue a career in the creative industry. A former pupil aptly described his classroom as a "guided exploration rather than a formal lesson". His love of the Scottish countryside is mirrored in his work and undoubtedly stemmed from the bank of images he built when, as a youngster, he travelled with his parents around the country. Argyll and the Western Isles were his favourite destinations, where he was fascinated by the crofts and farms sprouting from the land. Small houses typified his landscapes and still-lifes included abstracted landscapes; flowers, particularly poppies, fruit and fish feature in his later output. In 1996, he was awarded the Alexander Graham Munro Prize at the RSW exhibition in Edinburgh. His work featured regularly in one-man and combined shows and at his last one-man show in London in 2003, demand for his paintings remained high, as it has done ever since. In the last couple of years auction prices, in Glasgow and elsewhere, have shown a significant surge, reflecting the increasing collector interest in Gordon Wyllie's work. His auction record price has been beaten on regular occasions and currently stands at £2400 (hammer) established in October 2020.
