UGO RONDINONE (B. 1963)Silver Black White Green Mountain 2016 incised with the artist's initials and dated 2016 on the underside of the basepainted stone, stainless steel, wooden pedestal197 by 51 by 41 cm.77 9/16 by 20 1/16 by 16 1/8 in.Footnotes:ProvenanceGladstone Gallery, New YorkAcquired directly from the above by the present owner in 2016 ExhibitedNew York, Gladstone Gallery, the sun at 4pm, 2016Ugo Rondinone's work is timeless, transcendent, and powerful. He evokes our preternatural infatuation with the totem, be it figurative, divine, or mythical. A structure that is as rudimentary as it is authoritative. Throughout his career, the Swiss-born artist has navigated nature, spirituality, and materiality, often capturing such grand ideas in the delicate surfaces and compositions of a single work. He treats art as poetry: his sculptures are wonderfully self-contained, yet they are made up of elements that are individual, primal, and carefully balanced. In the present work, Silver Black White Green Mountain from 2016 – part of Rondinone's signature Mountain series that has been the centrepiece of major public art commissions around the world – the ideas that underpin his practice are expressed with a simplicity, lyricism and grandeur that is deeply compelling. Rondinone's Mountain series has been definitive of his career at large; instantly recognisable and highly sought-after. Tracing a line between natural phenomena and the human condition, Rondinone's work emerges from materials that are innately primordial and raw. His role as the artist is to colour, shape, and provide balance to the matter he is given. The totems speak to, not only the artist's relationship to his chosen medium, but to humanity's role as caretakers of the rock on which it stands. In the artist's words, he's 'putting faith in stone as material—in its innate beauty and energy, its structural quality, its surface texture, and its ability to collect and condense time. The grotesque biomorphic distortion that characterizes the lifetime of a stone can become a haunting openness when transformed by colour and palpable emotional charge' (the artist in an interview with Mitchell Anderson, 'Organic Accord: Ugo Rondinone', moussemagazine.it, 5 November 2020).The associations embedded in Rondinone's work go beyond the relationship between the natural, human, and spiritual, however. In the present work, there is a resurgent presence of Minimalism, Brancusi's Endless Column, and Land Art. Donald Judd's stacks and Michael Heizer's Levitated Mass (2012) are art historical threads that Rondinone conjures masterfully – the latest in a lineage of multifaceted artists to engage with a phenomenology that emerges from the simplicity and rationality that is inherent to the order of the world around us. Painted in glistening, unnatural pigments, Silver Black White Green Mountain is a sterling example that captures the spirit of an artist who continues to be a pioneer of his generation and whose work is held in global museum collections including the Tate collection, UK; the Centre Pompidou, Paris; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and the Dallas Museum of Art, among others. He will further be celebrated at this year's 59th Venice Biennale, with a major solo exhibition at the Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista, titled burn shine fly, paying homage to Rondinone's late partner and collaborator John Giorno.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: † TP ○† VAT at the prevailing rate on Hammer Price and Buyer's Premium.TP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

YAYOI KUSAMA (B. 1929)Fruits 1996 signed, titled in Japanese and dated 1996 on the reverseacrylic on canvas14.4 by 18.2 cm.5 11/16 by 7 3/16 in. Footnotes:This work is accompanied by a registration card issued by Yayoi Kusama Inc., Tokyo.ProvenancePrivate Collection, Japan Acquired from the above by the present ownerThroughout the course of her distinguished career, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has developed a practice which, whilst sharing affiliations with Surrealism, Minimalism, Pop Art, ZERO and Nul, fights to resist any singular categorisation. Fruit baskets have served as a recurring subject in Kusama's works and Fruits, executed in 1996, follows her fundamental concept of Infinity Nets with the multiplex addition of her iconic dots and organic symbols. The intricate geometric arrangement of the background, fruit basket, and tabletop in the present painting illustrates her logic behind the spatial relationship. Fruits attests to her own artistic enhancement, while epitomising her creative practice since its earliest days.The basket is set against a turquoise background covered with an infinite net of black-outlined triangles. The delicate fine lines stretch and connect in a seemingly unconscious manner, leaving the viewer in a trance between figurative and abstract representations. The fruits in the basket are painted in bold colours using visually directional dots arranged in a concentric pattern, reminiscent of her widely identifiable Pumpkins. Kusama's motif of the pumpkin form has achieved an almost mythical status in her art since the late 1940s. Coming from a family that made its living cultivating plant seeds, Kusama was familiar with the kabocha squash growing in the fields that surrounded her childhood home, and the pumpkin continues to occupy a special place in her body of work. Born in Matsumoto City, Japan in 1929, Kusama studied painting in Kyoto before moving to New York in the late 1950s. By the mid-1960s, she had become well known for her avant-garde activities and exhibitions with her diverse artistic endeavours spanning categories such as painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, performance, film, printmaking, installation, and environmental art as well as literature and fashion. Her use of an innovative perspective and her navigation of the cultural contexts of both the East and the West has enabled her to become an internationally renowned artist. Today, Yayoi Kusama who lives, somewhat famously, in a psychiatric institution in Tokyo, continues to produce paintings and installations at an incredible speed, exhibiting internationally in nearly every corner of the globe and maintaining a commanding presence and demand on the primary art market and at auction. From a young age, Yayoi Kusama experienced visual and auditory hallucinations and consequently began creating net and polka dot pattern pictures. Those hallucinations and the theme of dots would continue to influence her art throughout her career. From 1951 to 1957, Kusama created thousands of paintings and drawings on paper, further establishing these two significant motifs of dots and nets. In 1957, she went to the United States and began making net paintings and soft sculptures, as well developing installations that made use of mirrors and lights. It was in 1959 that Yayoi Kusama held her first solo exhibition in New York showcasing a series of white Infinity Net paintings that achieved critical acclaim. Her debut stirred heated discussions among artists in the United States, at a time where Abstract Expressionismwas prevalent. The organic shapes in her work created during the 1950s could be identified as evocative of surrealist artworks by the likes of Joan Miró and Paul Klee, yet they appear in a more obscure, colourful, playful, and neurotic form. By breaking the world up into nets and dots, Kusama eliminates physical boundaries and constructs a well-developed concept of repetition and multiplication. Named previously as 'the world's most popular artist', it's not hard to see why Yayoi Kusama continues to impress art audiences of all ages around the globe. In 1993, she represented her country in the 45th Venice Biennale and 2017 saw the inauguration of Kusama's museum in Tokyo. Recent exhibitions include the debut of 'Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors' at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., 'Yayoi Kusama: Life is the Heart of Rainbow' at the National Gallery Singapore, and the concurrent exhibitions 'Yayoi Kusama: Festival of Life' and 'Yayoi Kusama Infinity Nets' at David Zwirner in New York. Today, Kusama's works can be found in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh, and the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, among many others.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

John Butler Yeats, RHA (1839-1922) "Portrait of a Woman ," O.O.C., 76 h x 61 w cms  (30" x 24")(1) In addition to portraits of political and cultural leaders such as John O'Leary, Douglas Hyde, Ruth Lane and George Moore, John Butler Yeats often sketched and painted portraits of family members and relatives. The sitter in this portrait has not been identified, but may be a member of the Pollexfen or Cottenham families. Painted with Yeats?s characteristic finesse and sensitivity, the portrait depicts a woman in early middle age, dressed in a fur coat or stole, wearing a white blouse and jewelled pendant necklace. The Pollexfens were important in Yeats?s life, with much of his early education taking place while he lived with them in Sligo.  In 1857, he was a student at Trinity College Dublin and during a visit to Sligo in 1862, aged twenty-three, he and his cousin Susan Pollexfen became engaged. The following year the couple married. Yeats then studied law in Dublin, but became dissatisfied and elected to move with his wife and young children to London, and take up a career as an artist. He enrolled first in Heatherley?s School of Art, afterwards attending the Slade. Initially the family spent summers in Sligo together, but by the early 1870's, John Butler was staying on alone in London while his wife and children went to Ireland. The following years of moving between Ireland and London were not easy: after suffering a stroke in 1887, Susan became an invalid. She died in 1900 and Yeats formed a friendship with Rosa Butt, daughter of the Irish politician Isaac Butt. The American lawyer John Quinn then helped Yeats to settle with his daughters Susan (Lily) and Elizabeth (Lolly) in Dublin, and in 1901 he had a joint exhibition with Nathaniel Hone. The following year, Hugh Lane commissioned Yeats to paint portraits of people influential in the Irish literary revival: these were to form the nucleus of a new museum of modern art in Dublin. After accompanying Lily to New York in 1908, Yeats decided to settle in Manhattan, where he lived and worked until his death in 1922. Dr. Peter Murray, 2022

Maurice MacGonigal, PRHA  (1900-1979) "Aran Folk," oils on canvas laid on board,  109 h x 163 w cms  (43" x 64"). (1)     Originally commissioned circa 1932 by Patrick and Ellen (Nellie) Rooney for 'Runnymede', the family home they built in Ballsbridge in 1908, this large painting by Maurice MacGonigal depicts a group of Aran Islanders, four adults and three children, standing against a backdrop of mountains and cottages. A large Arts and Crafts period house, Runnymede, at 22 Shrewsbury Road, had a baronial-style ?Minstrel?s Hall? which the family wished to decorate with murals portraying scenes of traditional life in the Aran Islands. When completed, MacGonigal?s Aran mural cycle, commissioned to celebrate a family wedding, was unveiled with a series of parties, one of which was attended by Governor-General James MacNeill and his wife Josephine. The paintings were hung at a high level in the hall, with MacGonigal emphasising both colour and form so they could be best read from a distance. In terms of style and composition, and also the reserved and dignified aspect of the figures, Aran Folk recalls the frescoes of Giotto or Masaccio, with MacGonigal employing the bright primary colours typically found in Renaissance mural cycles. The figures are depicted in traditional dress, which even during the artist?s lifetime was being replaced by modern clothing. To the right of the group is a donkey, while the grass and sky are treated with MacGonigal?s signature Impressionist brushwork. Although clearly in the realm of history painting, there is also a down-to-earth quality in Aran Folk, particularly in the depiction of two women engaged in an animated discussion. In the foreground is a neat wooden firkin, while the background feature a row of equally neat thatched cottages, set against a mountain range of intense blue. Also included in the Runnymede mural scheme was a similar composition Aran Folk, with Animals (private collection) depicting a group of men and women, with geese and sheep. Another canvas by MacGonigal, Woman at a Spinning Wheel, (exhibited Gorry Gallery, 1993) also formed part of the same ensemble, with the artist?s older sister Eileen modelling for the figure. Through works such as these, Maurice MacGonigal, who was from Dublin city, sought not only to portray traditional life in the west of Ireland, but also to create a ?national? school of painting, one that would embody the values of Irish Republicanism. Eventually, when Runnymede was sold, the murals were taken down and distributed amongst members of the family. The painting Aran Folk was inherited by the Rooney?s daughter Avice, who had married into the Meade family, and in turn passed to her grandson Edward Dundon in whose possession it remained until 2022.   Born in Dublin in 1900, Maurice MacGonigal was educated at Synge Street school before being apprenticed to his uncle Joshua Clarke, the stained-glass manufacturer. His cousin Harry Clarke also served his apprenticeship with the family firm. Encouraged by the Quaker republican Bulmer Hobson, MacGonigal enlisted in Na Fianna Eireann in 1916, and later became a member of the IRA, participating in raids during the War of Independence. Arrested in 1920, he was interned in Ballykinlar Camp, Co. Down, for a year. After his release, he went back to the Clarke studios, but soon left to take up a scholarship at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art. Although he missed the years when William Orpen had beenvisiting tutor, MacGonigal did study under Patrick Touhy and Seán Keating, who had both been taught by Orpen, and carried forward his style of Academic Realism After a stay with the Van Stockum family in Holland in 1927, MacGonigal returned to Ireland, inspired by the paintings of Van Gogh, and greatly taken with the concept of landscape painting expressing a sense of national identity. During the 1930?s and 40?s, he did some of his finest work in the west of Ireland, depicting traditional Irish scenes and landscapes. The Meade commission inspired other group portraits: In 1933 MacGonigal was commissioned to paint a group portrait of the Ryan family at Kindlestown, and the following year completed what is perhaps his most outstanding work, Dockers, depicting workers standing beside a ship (Hugh Lane Gallery). In 1935 he painted a group of his friends, members of the art group ?The Radical Club?. Set in the life drawing room of the National College of Art, this painting, Studio Interior, is in the Limerick City Gallery. MacGonigal also designed sets for the Abbey Theatre, the Irish Hospitals Sweepstakes, and contributed illustrations to the Saorstat Eireann Handbook edited by Bulmer Hobson. In 1939 he was commissioned to paint a large mural, depicting Ireland?s contribution to American history, for the Irish pavilion in the New York World?s Fair. In this mural, his wife Aida served as the model for the depiction of ?America?. From 1924 to 1978, MacGonigal exhibited regularly at the Royal Hibernian Academy, serving twice as Keeper, and in 1962 was appointed President. He also taught at the National College of Art, where he was Professor of Painting from 1954 to 1969. A retrospective exhibition of his  work was held at the Hugh Lane Municipal Art Gallery in 1991.

 Seán Keating PRHA, (1889-1977) “Three Women,” c. 1972, approx. 53cms x 69cms (21" x 27"), charcoal, with black conté, highlighted with white gouacheAlthough the sitters in this triple portrait by Seán Keating have not been identified, it is likely that they are members of the same family, perhaps a mother and two daughters. The portrait was likely commissioned by people close to the artist, who admired his work and respected his contribution to Irish art in the twentieth century. Another possibility is that the drawing depicts actors from the Abbey Theatre: Keating regularly sketched and painted scenes from Abbey productions, including The Playboy of the Western World, and he also sketched Lennox Robinson directing a play. [Morgan O’Driscoll Dec. 2018]. In addition to this triple portrait, Keating sketched an individual portrait of the central figure (Whytes 2011). Traces of squaring-up remain on the paper, indicating this work was completed in the studio, with the artist working from individual sketches and photographs. Unlike many of his classic images, depicting farming and fishing families of the west of Ireland, with shrewd eyes and weather-beaten faces, the women depicted here radiate a sense of modern urban sophistication, and so this work can perhaps serve as a visual metaphor for Ireland during the twentieth century, when a transition took place from rural life to urban and suburban living. The central figure, a woman perhaps in her twenties, is glamorous, while the figure on the left—perhaps her mother—is older and appears more worldly-wise. Full of Keating’s characteristic expressionist vigour, this triple portrait is more than a sketch: the artist has used conté crayon over rubbed charcoal, suggesting colour in what otherwise would be a monochrome drawing, and has further highlighted the portrait with white gouache.Born in Limerick, John (later Seán) Keating initially studied at the Technical School in that city. Recognising his talent, in 1911 William Orpen arranged a scholarship for the young artist to the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin. Keating visited the Aran Islands three years later, where he was inspired by the authenticity and simplicity of island life. The following year provided a complete contrast, where he worked in Orpen’s London studio as an assistant. He tried, unsuccessfully, to convince Orpen to return to Ireland, to document the momentous changes then taking place in society and politics. Keating himself did move back to Dublin, to teach at the Metropolitan School. Over the ensuing years, in a series of portraits and ambitious academic realist canvases, he documented the struggle for political independence. Although the unspoiled Aran Islands provided subject matter for many paintings, Keating also celebrated the industrialisation of the newly emergent Republic. He painted what he saw, and said what he thought, following the Realist tenet that art should not be separated from life. On his own initiative he decided to record the building of the Ardnacrusha Hydroelectric Scheme, realising that this massive engineering project would help bring prosperity to Ireland. His interest in progress was further revealed in a mural commissioned for the Irish pavilion at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. However, the public on both sides of the Atlantic preferred Keating’s more traditional subject matter. While Keating’s large allegorical works, such as Night’s Candles are Burned Out, are powerful, realist canvases, his watercolours and sketches reveal a delicacy and aesthetic quality similar to that of John Singer Sargent. President of the RHA from 1949-62, Keating was one of the key artists who defined visual culture in Ireland from the early to mid-twentieth century.

* SHEILA MACMILLAN DA PAI (SCOTTISH 1928 - 2018), GRAZALEMA oil on board, signed image size 45cm x 45cm, overall size 65cm x 65cm Framed and under glass. Note: Inscribed verso in the artist's hand "Grazalema 12.09.01" although obscured by the back board. Note 2: Grazalema is a "white village" located in the north-eastern part of the province of Cádiz, in the autonomous community of Andalucia, Spain. It is situated in the foothills of the Sierra del Pinar mountain range. Note 3: Sheila Macnab Macmillan was born in Glasgow in 1928. She attained a degree in Geography at Glasgow University and went on to train as a teacher. However, she had always painted and her talent was strongly encouraged by her uncle the distinguished Iain Macnab RE ROI (1890 - 1967) who persuaded Sheila to come to London and train under him. Iain Macnab had been Principal at Heatherley's Art School (1925 - 1940) and then went on to be founding Principal of the hugely influential Grosvenor School of Modern Art. Sheila's London influences and Glasgow School foundations evolved into a distinctive and individual style. She usually worked "en plein air" and her work is semi abstract. She focused mainly on landscape where her training as a geographer, allowed her to use her understanding of land formation, the delicate balance of the seasons and the interaction between Man and the environment. Her uncle's concept of "rhythm" is evident in Sheila's work and remained a constant throughout her career. She painted in Scotland, Spain. France and Italy and exhibited widely especially in Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and Newcastle. Her work appeared frequently at the Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Glasgow Institute, Paisley Art Institute annual exhibitions and at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (London). She won numerous awards and prizes over a long and distinguished career.

Retrospective, 1999 In 1942, Sutherland was commissioned as an official war artist to document the industrial work supporting the war effort. Through his training as an engineering draughtsman, Sutherland was well equipped to understand the processes that he was recording. From an artistic point of view, the experience also impressed upon him a lasting preoccupation with what he saw as the anthropomorphic characteristics of machinery, a fascination which informed his work well beyond his wartime output. Dr. Henry (Heinz) Roland (1907-1993) was one of the partners of the enormously influential gallery Roland, Browse & Delbanco, formed in London in 1945. The gallery supported a broad stable of artists and Roland's private collection included superb examples of works by Henry Moore and Auguste Rodin, German artists such as Max Ernst, Erich Heckel and Emil Nolde as well British artists including Graham Sutherland.

This is my own Heart of Darkness, exploring existential fears about modernity, progress and capitalism."Like Conrad, he is brutally honest in his expression - whether that is in his language or his art, which features harsh brushstrokes and a conscious decision to make his subjects real, rather than beautiful. Condition Report: In good original condition.
