BANKSY (BRITISH, b. 1974-), PAIR OF CUT & RUN EXHIBITION POSTERS, 2023 pair of posters from the 2023 Banksy Cut & Run Exhibition, purchased from Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art at the time of the exhibition, new, unframed and still in original wrapper (images are just for reference)The anonymous graffiti artist known as Banksy is perhaps the most controversial street artist of today. He is famous for his stenciled graffiti works, which appear in public spaces around the world. His use of stenciling developed from a need to complete a work quickly, namely to avoid being caught vandalizing by police. Between 15th June and 28th August 2023 at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow he held his first show in 14 years: Cut & Run featuring stencils and more from his career on the street. “I’ve kept these stencils hidden away for years, mindful they could be used as evidence in a charge of criminal damage. But that moment seems to have passed, so now I’m exhibiting them in a gallery as works of art. I’m not sure which is the greater crime” each poster approximately 42cm x 30cm

Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973) Avant Garde, Picasso's Erotic Gravures #8 - by Editor Ralph Ginzburg First Edition; First Printing. Softcover. 28cm x 28cm (11" x 11") Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973) is known as the founder of Cubism. He was born in Málaga in 1881 to an artist father. The family moved to Barcelona in 1895, where Picasso enrolled at the School of Fine Arts. In the beginning of 1901, Picasso moved to Paris for the first time. The city was considered the cultural capital of Europe and attracted many aspiring artists. Soon after, he made his first sale with art dealer Berthe Weill and quickly became an influential figure in the artistic circles of Montmartre. After working in his characteristic Blue Period of 1901‒4 (as seen in Motherhood (1901)), Picasso developed his famous Cubist style in 1906/7. Together with French artist Georges Braque, Picasso extended the technique to Analytical Cubism and Synthetic Cubism (as seen in Fruit Dish, Bottle and Violin (1914)). Picasso was extremely productive during his lifetime, expanding his oeuvre to include etching, sculpture and ceramics. The Spanish artist had a profound influence on the formation of 20th-century Avant-garde art and his works can be found in many notable modern art collections around the world.

Léonard Tsugouharu Foujita (French-Japanese 1886-1968) Eve at the garden of Eden - 1959 Lithograph on paper Signed by artist 41cm x 26cm (16" x 10 3/8) Tsuguharu Foujita (French-Japanese 1886–1968), born in Tokyo, Japan, was a distinctive figure of the 20th-century Parisian avant-garde, blending Western and Eastern artistic traditions. Moving to Paris in 1913, he became an iconic character in the bohemian art scene, associating with luminaries like Picasso and Modigliani. Foujita’s style was celebrated for its synthesis of traditional Japanese ink techniques with modern French aesthetics. His eclectic subjects included everything from self-portraits to Parisian café scenes, nudes, and cats. Converting to Catholicism later in life, his work took a spiritual turn, culminating in his design of the Foujita Chapel in Reims.

gouache on paper, signed, titled labels verso mounted, framed and under glass image size 29cm x 35cm, overall size 55cm x 59cm Handwritten artist's label verso Label verso: The Rendezvous Gallery, Aberdeen. Note: In 2018 Joyce W Cairns was elected the first woman President of The Royal Scottish Academy in its 192 year history. Given the extraordinary talent of many Scottish women artists both past and present, this honour reflects the high esteem of the Royal Academicians who elected her and her status as one of the most important and respected artists of her time. Note 2: Joyce W Cairns was born and brought up in Edinburgh. She studied painting at Grays School of Art, Aberdeen from 1966 -71 and The Royal College of Art, London 1971 -74. She was awarded a Fellowship at Gloucester College of Art and Design 1974-75 returning to London where she did the Art Teacher’s Certificate Course at Goldsmiths College, University of London 1975-76. In 1976 she returned to Aberdeen where she taught Drawing and Painting at Grays School of Art until 2004 when she took early retirement to complete the vast body of work which culminated in ‘War Tourist’. It was exhibited for 3 months in 2006 at Aberdeen Art Gallery, attracting nearly 30,000 visitors. Her work is mainly autobiographical based on past memories intertwined with present experiences, woven around the backcloth of the once fishing village of Footdee at the mouth of Aberdeen harbour where she has lived for the past 33 years. ‘War Tourist’ was based on her Father’s war backed up by extensive research following in his footsteps through Europe and Tunisia. She now paints in Dundee working in a house and garden overlooking the Tay which will add a further dimension to her work but still retains a residence in Footdee. Cairns has won many awards and is featured in many publications and in the wider media. Cairns’ work has been exhibited in serious group exhibitions since 1970, as well as having numerous celebrated solo exhibitions in Scotland, London and Canada.

David Shrigley (British, b. 1968) Untitled (SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE PIGS) - One of the Four Animal series , 2019 Lithograph prints on paper 2020 Printed by Narayana Press, Published by ShrigShop, Copenhagen Unsigned and unframed 80 x 60cm (31 1/2 x 23 5/8") David Shrigley was born in 1968 in Macclesfield, UK. He lives and works in Brighton and Devon, UK. In January 2020 the artist was awarded the decoration of Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire or OBE. His digital animations such as ‘Headless Drummer’ and ‘The Artist’ demonstrate what Shrigley calls ‘the economy of telling stories’, delivering a deftly crafted mix of dark and light through the simplest of forms. In his sculptural works, rendered in materials such as bronze and ceramic, the artist makes physical some of his more curious and eccentric propositions by transforming found objects or by playing with their scale. Taking Lewis Carroll's perspective of Wonderland, Shrigley enlarges objects and imbues them with curious proportions. Shrigley was a Turner Prize nominee in 2013, following his major mid-career retrospective ‘Brain Activity' at the Hayward Gallery, London. In September 2016, his monumental sculpture ‘Really Good' was unveiled in Trafalgar Square, London for the Fourth Plinth Commission.

Lin Fengmian 林风眠 (1900 - 1991) Birds and Wisteria 紫藤小鸟 Oil on canvas Signed and mounted. 80 x 60cm (31.5” x 23.5”） Lin Fengmian was a pioneer of modernism known for his brilliant hybridization of Chinese and European styles, subjects and methods. In his role as a prominent educator, Lin laid the foundation for Chinese modern art. Throughout his long and productive life, Lin absorbed a wide array of stylistic approaches into his paintings, and was one of the earliest Chinese artists to make a serious study of European modern art along with traditional ink paintings. By 1920 Lin was working as a signboard painter in Marseilles, sketching and studying French in his spare time. Lin’s work as a sign painter would help develop the steadiness and clarity of his later brushwork. Following six months of study at the School of Fine Arts in Dijon, Lin left for Paris where he studied at the École des Beaux Arts and the studio of Fernand Cormon (1845-1924). He had a highly eventful year in Germany, where he saw the works of German Expressionists and held a one-man exhibition, married his first wife, and exhibited 42 paintings in an Exhibition of Traditional and Modern Chinese Art. Soon after, with the untimely and sudden death of his wife and first-born child, the stunned Lin’s art and outlook were transformed. He remarried in 1925 and then returned to Beijing in 1926, committed to revitalizing Chinese art through education. After serving as the first principal of the National Beijing Fine Art School he founded the Hangzhou National College of Art where he taught Western style painting to students including Zao Wou-Ki, Chu Teh-Chun, and Wu Guanzhong. Lin Fengmian’s life was marked by numerous upheavals and tragedies including the destruction of may of his works during the Sino-Japanese War and Cultural Revolution. After leaving China in 1977 to reunite with family members Lin Fengmian ultimately settled in Hong Kong where he died in 1991 at the age of 90 years old. His work can be found in many museum collections including the Metropolitan Museum of New York, the Cernuschi Gallery of Asian Arts of Paris, and the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

Mario Sanzone (Italian, b. 1946) Positano Oil on canvas Signed and titled by the artist Unframed 133 x 185cm (51" x 70.5") Mario Sanzone (Italian, b.1946) attended the Fine Art Academy in his native city, where he continues to live and work. After his studies, he started and has industriously continued to take part in exhibitions, both in Italy, across Europe and the USA. Sanzone is perhaps best known for his atmospheric portrayals of the Amalfi coast, which perfectly convey the richness and atmosphere of the Mediterranean. He loves to paint the towns and cities of Europe both basking in the heat of the mid-day sun, as well as the subtle twilight effects of night. His stunning original paintings have a fascinating quality. He has taken classic Impressionism and given it a fresh, modern twist, making his style truly timeless. With his vivid palette of rich blues, greens and sparkling yellows Mario Sanzone captures the beauty of The Amalfi Coast and beyond in an extraordinary way. With twinkling lights in the distance Sanzone’s original paintings offer a unique, rarely-seen perspective of his chosen enchanting locations. Sanzone’s dazzling landscapes become increasingly abstract when viewed more closely, thanks to his amazing use of light and colour and quick brushstrokes in traditional oil paints. Sanzone has always received great acclaim from critics and the public alike, especially for his luminous palette and original technique. This lot is also sold subject to Artists Resale Rights, details of which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.

He is hailed as one of the four great masters of Vietnamese modern art; he shares this distinction with fellow artists Bui Xuan Phai, Nguyen Sang, and Duong Bich Lien. These four artists, individually and collectively, had a great impact on the development of new artistic languages in the era of Doi Moi—the 1986 economic renewal campaign in Vietnam. During Nguyen Tu Nghiem's artistic career, he created a unique style fusing folk art tradition and modernist art trend. He gained wider recognition during the 1980s for his role as the first Vietnamese modern artist to explore the formal qualities of local motifs while remaining true to the aesthetics of modern art. Known for his lively paintings portraying the immortal god Thanh Giong and Vietnamese zodiac signs, Nguyen Tu Nghiem was awarded the Ho Chi Minh Prize in Literature and Arts in 1996.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a reduced rate of 5.5% on the hammer price and the prevailing rate on buyer's premium if the item remains in EU.TVA sur les objets importés à un taux réduit de 5.5% sur le prix d'adjudication et un taux en vigueur sur la prime d'achat dans le cas où l'objet reste dans l'Union Européenne.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
