('Saturday', pre-1915), to [Sir Hugh] Lane. Yeats' letter comprises one line 'With pleasure - Tuesday'. With blank integral leaf. A letter of interesting association. VG  £100-150    Hugh Lane (1875-1915) Irish Art Dealer & Collector who established Dublin's Municipal Gallery of Modern Art, the first known public gallery of modern art in the world.  In October 1913 Yeats privately published fifty copies of Poems Written in Discouragement, 1912-1913 with the Cuala Press. The poems had been inspired by the controversy surrounding Sir Hugh Lane's proposal to establish a modern art gallery in Dublin and the rejection of the plan by the Dublin Corporation. Yeats placed the Lane episode as the third in a sequence of public controversies which had stirred his imagination, and it also signified a new phase in the relation between Yeats and Ireland.

•ALEXANDRE NIKOLAYEVICH BENOIS (1870-1960) Two costume designs for Verdi's 'Un Ballo in Maschera' (A Masked Ball) 'Anckarstrom (Renato)', signed and dated 1927, with further pencil inscriptions, watercolour, 21.5cm x 15.75cm and the companion 'Les Conspirateurs' monogrammed and further inscribed in pencil, watercolour, 24cm x 16.5cm; together with a stage design, indistinctly inscribed and dated 1928 in pencil, pastel, 14cm x 21cm (3) Alexandre Benois was a Russian artist, art critic, historian, preservationist, and founding member of Mir iskusstva (World of Art), an art movement and magazine. As a designer for the Ballets Russes under Sergei Diaghilev, Benois exerted what is considered a seminal influence on modern ballet and stage design.

Alberto Sughi (Italian 1928-2012) Gran Caffe Oil on canvas Signed lower left, signed, titled and numbered 842 verso 60 x 70cm (23½ x 27½ in.) The following group of works (Lot 132-141) come from a private Swiss collection that was carefully curated over a number of years. The collector bought directly from the artist, whom became a great friend and from galleries such as Galleria Marescalchi. Alberto Sughi was born in Cesena, Italy in 1928 and was a self-taught artist who launched his career in the early 1950s. Sughi described painting as a way of owning your identity and pushing yourself to reach your limits. Sughi was driven by the stroke of the brush which led his journey across the canvas. He followed instinct and experimented with spontaneity painting quickly with impulse. Sughi's works are driven by sensual drive and his love of women. He approached the concept of existential realism through the subject of life as a single person capturing isolated moments in bars, restaurants and dance halls. Large retrospectives of the artist's works include the Gallery of Modern Art in Bologna in 1977 and the National Gallery in Prague in 1986.

Ambrose McEvoy (British 1878-1927) Miss Violet Henry Oil on canvas 27 x 101cm (50 x 39¾ in.) Painted in 1918.Provenance: The collection of Philip Henry Esq, the sitter's father, Asheville, rth Carolina Thence by descent to the present owner Exhibited: London, Grosver Gallery, International Society of Sculptors, Painters and Gravers, 24th Exhibition, 1918, .18 (catalogued as Miss Henry (Red Cross Portrait)) The Ambrose McEvoy Exhibition, Duveen Brothers, New York, 1920, . 26 Literature: Christian Brinton, The Ambrose McEvoy Exhibition: Introduction and Catalogue of the Paintings, New York, 1920, . 26, illustrated Wigs (ed.), The Work of Ambrose McEvoy, London, 1923, p. 79 John Rothenstein, Modern English Painters: Sickert to Smith, London, 1952, p. 211 Miss Violet Henry (1901-1976) was the daughter of Philip Solomon Henry (1863-1933) who was a Jewish Australian gentleman who made his fortune in copper and coffee before moving to the United States in 1900. Henry married Florence Lewisohn, in April 1900 at Lewisohn Mansion in New York and they went on to have two children, Violet Rosalie Henry and Leore Gladys Henry. Just a year after their second daughter was born Florence tragically passed away, in a fire at the Windsor Hotel in New York. Philip Henry and his children subsequently left New York. In 1908 Henry married Annie Hyatt-Woolfe in Paddington London. It is assumed that Philip, Annie and Philip's two children spent most their time in England until 1930 when it is kwn that Henry, a naturalised US citizen, purchased Zealandia Estate on Beaucatcher Mountain in Asheville. Henry developed the property adding a Tudor mansion and founded the Asheville Art Association and Museum which supported his passion for art and collecting. Henry was recognised as an international Jewish leader and was a board member of the Jewish Theological Seminary. Miss Violet Rosalie Henry married Brigadier Hartley Alfred Macochie, of Somerset, England with whom she had one daughter Jean Susan Macochie. This portrait of Miss Violet Rosalie Henry was painted in 1918 and according to the exhibition held at the Grosver Gallery in the year of its conception, the portrait was likely to have been commissioned as part of a series of portraits McEvoy painted for the benefit of the Red Cross. McEvoy studied under tutors Frederick Brown, Philip Wilson Steer and Henry Tonks and he became close friends with fellow student Augustus John, who went on to become a figurehead of British 20th century portraiture. Influences of Whistler can be seen in the portrait of Miss Violet Henry. The composition of a girl standing at a mantelpiece with her reflection showing in the mirror was one he had seen in Whistler's Symphony in White, .2: The little white girl painted in 1864. McEvoy first experimented with reflections in Ear-ring in 1911 and again in Myrtle in 1912, however its whereabouts is unkwn. This work was exhibited in the ground breaking Duveen Brothers exhibition in New York in 1920. The exhibition ran from 10th March 1920 to the end of the month and exhibited thirty-eight oil paintings and a small collection of watercolours. On the back of the success of the exhibition McEvoy was inundated with commissions and it was clear his reputation which he had worked hard to cement in London was building in New York. Please Note: Miss Violet Rosalie Henry and Brigadier Hartley Alfred Maconochie had two daughters, Violet Sally Florine and  Jean Susan Maconochie 

Henri Hayden (Polish 1883-1970) Mollien Gouache Signed and dated 66 lower right 48 x 59cm (18¾ x 23 in.) Provenance: The Waddington Galleries, London Gallerist and collector, Duncan Campbell, had a passion for the arts and his gallery on Thackeray Street in Kensington was a meeting place for enthusiasts for a quarter of a century. There one would find an eclectic mix of modern art, including paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture, studio pottery, tribal artefacts and a range of other paraphernalia that had tempted him. As David Buckman described in his obituary He had those invaluable gifts for a dealer; a natural eye for quality, plus an instinct for what people might buy. (The Independent, 2011). The present group of works aptly demonstrate Campbell's broad and varied interests from his particular fondness for the landscapes of Rowland Hilder to a vibrantly coloured depiction of the French countryside by Henri Hayden. Duncan Campbell was an old-school dealer of the best kind. Along with his family, the gallery was the focal point of his life. He developed a loyal following of collectors who came to the gallery to seek out what new treasures he had unearthed, whether they be a young new artist that he was promoting or an already established name into which he was breathing renewed interest.

Conceived in 1934/1935, signed to the base Leon. U., numbered IV-VIII, dated 36. on a gnarled walnut rustic wood base. total height 14 1/2''. Literature: The sculpture of Leon Underwood by Ben Whitworth, published Lund Humphries 2000 cat no. 93. African Madonna (variants) illustrated on page 60. His works can be seen in major British museums and public collections in the UK. He was the precursor of modern sculpture in Britain, attended the Slade School of Fine Art and the Royal College of Art. In the first World War he worked with Solomon Joseph Solomon, Norman Wilkinson and Paul Klee as a camoufleur creating observation posts camouflaged as trees and other objects. In 1921, Underwood opened the Brook Green School of Art in Hammersmith. Amongst his many students, he taught Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. Moore later spoke of his indebtedness to Underwood's influence and teaching. He wrote a number of books on ancient African sculpture including Bronzes of West Africa, which were a great influence to him in later years for cycladic and African culture designs. Provenance - Mirfield Theological College of the Church of England, West Yorkshire. On Saturday October 22nd 2011, the monks at the college held an auction to raise money for the church renovations for the grade listed building. The bronze on offer was sold at this auction and mentioned in the catalogue and sold next to work by Eric Gill - entitled Lord Jesus Christ.

Akinola Lasekan (Nigerian, 1921-1972)Portrait of a girl wearing a headscarf signed 'LASH' (lower right); bears label inscribed 'Painted by A. Lasekan in Nigeria. Bought at his studio in a small village near Owo. W. Nigeria. 1955.' (verso)oil on canvas39.5 x 32cm (15 9/16 x 12 5/8in).Footnotes:ProvenanceAcquired from artist's studio near Owo, Nigeria, circa 1950s.By direct descent to current owner.This portrait was acquired directly from the artist by the then head of the teacher training college for the Church Missionary Society. Lasekan is widely acknowledged as one of the first artists in Nigeria to pioneer a modern, realist aesthetic. Denied access to formal art education, he taught himself to paint through correspondence courses. The experience was so rewarding, he later established his own correspondence art school which spawned talents such as Uche Okeke. Lasekan's tireless efforts to make art education more accessible were recognised in 1966 when he was appointed Associate Fellow of the Institute for African Studies at the University of Ife. He would hold this position until his death.Lasekan first captured the public's attention with his acerbic cartoons for the newspaper, The West African Pilot. His drawings lampooned British colonial establishments and attitudes, earning him the nickname 'Lash'.In 1943, he took up oil paintings and executed a number of portrait studies, primarily from the Yoruba ethnic group. This sensitive depiction of a young girl exemplifies Lasekan's talent for capturing expression and feeling.BibliographyOffoedu-Okeke, Artists of Nigeria, (Milan, 2012), p.44.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The peculiar geography of this small Karoo town became a much wider focus. Beaufort West has been described by the South African Human Rights Commission as 'an isolated town that has not broken away from the shackles of South Africa's past, where economic and social integration is severely limited. In this series, Subotzky documents the town's violence, poverty and existing segregation. Leon (At The Back Of The Hospital) sadly depicts the violent culture that many young men experience in this small town. An important series in Subotzky's oeuvre of work, it was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, New York in 2008-2009.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Throughout his artistic career, dogs were a recurring theme in Koloane's work. They were a symbol of violence and control, often unleashed to attack black South Africans under the Apartheid regime.A strong critic of the control of spaces for black South Africans and the limitations black artists had to practice, Koloane joined forces with a collective of artists and founded the Thupelo workshops. Later he also created a complex of studio spaces called the Bag Factory in Johannesburg to empower up and coming artists.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

They called for the merging of the best of Western and Nigerian traditions, forms and ideas into a hybrid art-making practice and conceptual framework. The concept was developed in the late 1950s and early 1960 alongside a gathering momentum towards independence in search of a modern art that would suit the new nation. Here Nwoko following his study of scenography and theatre design in Japan in the early 1960s has flattened the spare composition in the tradition of the Japanese Ikebana floral arrangements.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

Lucio Fontana (Italian, 1899-1968)Crocifisso 1948-1950 painted and glazed ceramic37 by 21.6 by 12.8 cm.14 9/16 by 8 1/2 by 5 1/16 in.This work was executed in 1948-1950.Footnotes:This work is registered in the Fondazione Lucio Fontana, Milan, under no. 2240/16, and is accompanied by a photo-certificate of authenticity.ProvenancePrivate Collection, FranceAcquired directly from the above by the present ownerA work of supreme, transcendent beauty, Lucio Fontana's Crocifisso (1948-1950) is a sterling demonstration of the artist's ineffable capacity for pushing his materials and methods to their technical limits. Appearing to emerge from the lustrous black of the painted ceramic cross, arms raised aloft, Fontana's Christ is a devotional image laden with Baroque curlicues, spiritual force, and aesthetic drama that is prototypical of the Spazialismo movement Fontana founded in 1947. An artist revolutionising the aesthetic and theoretical parameters of art in the traumatic fallout of World War II, Fontana's importance as a figurehead of the Modern period cannot be understated. Moulded, painted, and fired during this hugely influential period of cultural redefinition, the present Crocifisso is testament to Fontana's lifelong appreciation of art as a key to the nether dimensions, a means to communicate with and pass through the envelope of our veiled perception. A sculpture of enduring beauty, with comparable works held in the collection of MoMA, New York, and the Musei Vaticani, Rome Fontana's Crocifissioni have formed key displays in retrospective exhibitions of the artist's oeuvre, most recently at the Terra e Oro (Earth and Gold) exhibition at Galleria Borghese in Rome. Over the course of one of the most subversive and thought-provoking careers, Fontana consistently challenged predetermined notions of creative methodology. Whilst tackling one of the oldest themes of art history, Fontana's Crocifisso presents a timeless vision of Christ in flux, the feathered tips of clay forming ornate leaves that reach into space, creating deep crevices between the limbs of the soaring Messiah and dissolving the distinction between the body and its support. 'We live in the mechanical age', the artist declared in the Manifesto Blanco, published in Buenos Aires in 1946, 'painted canvas and upright plaster no longer have any reason to exist' ('Manifesto Blanco', 1946 in E. Crispolti and R. Siligato Eds., Lucio Fontana, Milan 1998, p.115). Expressing one of the starkest images of human suffering, Fontana's Crocifisso emerges in the aftermath of global violence and captures the the vision of an artwork that goes beyond its medium and beyond the conditions of the present reality, materialising from a blackened precipice. A glazed ceramic that floats and twists with the weightlessness of silk drapery, the present work belies the weight of its earthenware, disguised under ethereal threads of clay and paint. Fontana's sculptures remain overlooked as fundamental objects that offer a significant insight into the artist's practice. Originally trained as a sculptor, first under his father Luigi, before studying at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan between 1928 and 1930, Fontana's relationship and theoretical interest in the space occupied and delineated by the art object is, first and foremost, grounded in his understanding of sculpture. In the present work this becomes tacitly clear. Modeling and moulding the clay with his hands, the Crocifisso boasts an immaculate surface of fleurettes, crevices and cascades, coalescing and springing from the body of the clay, realising Fontana's vision of 'neither painting nor sculpture [...] but [a] continuity of space in matter' (the artist in: E. Crispolti and R. Siligato Eds., Lucio Fontana, Rome 1998, p.118). Not only is Christ present as a being that transcends notions of the physical and spiritual worlds, but also as one who passes between dimensions, emerging from a lucid, alien form that conjures images of galaxies, neutron stars and the sprawling material of the monumental cosmos. The timelessness and supernatural appearance of Fontana's Crocifisso demonstrates the incredible ability of the artist to synthesise art historical, material and stylistic tropes into a single, radical form. To Fontana, '[the] Baroque was a leap ahead [...] it represented space with a magnificence that is still unsurpassed and added the notion of time to the plastic arts. The figures seemed to abandon the flat surface and continue the represented movements in space' ('Manifesto Blanco', 1946, in op. cit.). Projecting from the corpus of the ceramic, the stylistic character of the work is compelling and dynamic, channeling the energy of El Greco's florid Christ on the Cross (1600-1610) with the solidarity of its making. A breathtaking sculpture whose delicacy and craftsmanship is matched by its impassioned visual power, Fontana's Crocifisso is a rare and extraordinary artwork by one of the most important artists of the Twentieth Century.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

[232] P-60-17, listedFloating in a sturdy but subtle framework, the complex layers of wire netting of Metamorfosis (Imagen) are superimposed and set against each other at different levels to build an imaginative landscape of forms and depth. The work beautifully displays the formal simplicity of abstraction whilst forever changing depending on light and shadow, as well as the viewers position and emotions when viewing the work. Rivera was never tempted by sculpture or cold kinetic experimentation, he referred to his works as paintings and the expressive interplay of mesh and light with its hypnotic moiré pattern create an experience akin to the works of the Abstract Expressionists. Although Rivera's work is more abstract than that of his fellow El Paso members, he too was influenced by his environment and so we can see history, nostalgia and the artists personal memories, especially of his childhood in Grenada and of the Alhambra, woven into the mesh of his oeuvre. Rivera liked to find poetic pretexts and reference points for his paintings, and he was greatly influenced by cinema, a true symbol of modernity. In his Metamorfosis works he paid tribute to Ingmar Bergman, and not only did he meet his wife at the Regio cinema in Granada, Rivera also found artistic inspiration when he encountered some wire mesh prophetically hanging in the air in a hardware shop window on his way to the cinema. After seeing 'Black Orpheus' by Marcel Camus in 1959 he subtitled two of his Metamorfosis pieces 'Orfeo' and 'Eurídice' and increasingly played with the idea of the image and mirrors in his titles. Like Orpheus crosses the mirror, or Alice the looking glass, the viewer of his subtly manipulated, shimmering metallic paintings is transported to infinite unknown worlds. Executed in 1960, Metamorfosis (Imagen) stems from one of most productive and successful periods of Manuel Rivera's artistic production. Following the devastation of the civil war and confronted with the challenges that modern art faced in Spain at the time, Rivera pursued similar goals to the American Abstract Expressionists in the late 1950s and gradually moved away from a traditional figurative painting style towards abstraction. Along with fellow artists such as Antonio Saura, Manolo Millares, Luis Feito and Rafael Canogar, all of whom were instrumental in defining the Spanish avant-garde of the Post-War era, he co-founded the El Paso movement in 1957. By 1960, the year the present work was executed, Rivera had already found broad international recognition, having exhibited at the 4th Biennial of São Paulo in 1957 and the 29th Venice Biennale in 1958. His works are included in the permanent collections of such prestigious international institutions as the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, MOMA and the Solomon R.

Les Jumeaux, II, 1963 – 1969 with its paired back palette of ochre and earthen tones is a consummate example of the artist's work, combining the aesthetic and theoretical power of Surrealism and Cubism with Lam's own aesthetic flavour. In 1918, Lam began his studies at the Escuela de Bellas Artes in Havana, where he would be trained in academic painting, however the academic conservatism of the Bellas Artes did not inspire the artist and in 1923, with the aid of a scholarship Lam would travel across the Atlantic to Madrid, setting the scene for the beginning of his artistic development. In 1938, Lam moved to Paris, where he would meet some of the leading artists of the time including Pablo Picasso, a great admire of his work, Picasso would go on to collect many of his paintings. Marking a significant turning point in his career, it was in Paris that the artist would come into contact with African Art and Surrealism, which would have a huge impact on the development of his work. With the outbreak of World War II, Lam was forced to flee France and return to Cuba, only returning to Europe after the war. This powerful encounter between Cuban culture and avant-garde Europe would allow Lam to produce some of the most powerful and striking images of the twentieth century. An impressive and sophisticated work, created in two stages over a six-year period, Les Jumeaux, II (The Twins) incorporates the aesthetic qualities learnt during his time in Europe with elements of Cuban and Lam's own personal culture. Bound together in a totemic and disconnected embrace, reminiscent of Chinese symbols, the present work derives much of its inspiration from Cubism, the geometric composition and palette invoking Pablo Picasso's Girl with a Mandolin, 1910. While Picasso's deconstructive masterpiece retains its figurative femininity, Lam uses symbolism to create a purely representational image, one that looks beyond the female form. Inspired by the Cuban Santería religion, which finds its origins in Yoruba and West African traditions as well as savage Spanish Catholicism, the twins known as Ibeye – the catholic equivalents of Saint Cosmas and Saint Damian – are depicted. Descendants of the god of lightening, the Ibeye are sacred among the Yoruba and are considered to be the guardians and protectors of priests and houses. An enigmatic image, Lam reaches between the familiar and the unknown, projecting the viewer into an irrational and imaginary world.A giant of the avant-garde, Wifredo Lam's work can be found in the collections of public and private museums across the world including; The MoMA in New York; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Havana; the Museum of Modern Art in Brussels; the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. among many others. In 2016 his work was celebrated in the landmark retrospective at the Tate Modern, London to great acclaim.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

Yan Pei-Ming (Chinese, born 1960)Paysage International, retour sur le lieu du crime 003 1999  signed in Pinyin, signed in Chinese, titled and dated 1999 on the reverseoil on canvas180 by 300.5 cm.70 7/8 by 118 5/16 in.Footnotes:ProvenanceBernier/Eliades, AthensAcquired directly from the above by the present owner in 1999ExhibitedAthens, Bernier/Eliades, Yan Pei-Ming, 1999, no. 4LiteratureFrancesco Bonami, Yan Pei-Ming, New York 2017, p. 104, illustrated in colourWith works held in the collections of the world's most prominent institutions including the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris and the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, Yan Pei-Ming's career has soared since his beginnings creating propaganda frescoes idealizing popular heroes of the Cultural Revolution. In 1980 the artist left for France, where he would develop his signature style of over-sized portraits and anonymous landscapes in palettes of black, white and red. Recognized today as one of China's most important contemporary artists, his work is currently being celebrated in a landmark exhibition at the Petit Palais, Paris.Impressive in scale and reproduced in Francesco Bonami's monumental monograph on the artist, Paysage International, retour sur le lieu du crime 003 depicts an impenetrable blackened scene, one that is both everywhere and nowhere; a disquieting image that is further compounded by the work's title. As described by the artist, 'if you paint a landscape, often it is seductive. 'Yes, this is a pretty landscape.' If you title it 'Lieu du Crime' [Scene of the crime], however, something happens. It's as if you are walking down the street and someone says to you, 'A man was killed here a while ago.' Suddenly the place acquires a history.' (the artist in: 'Chinese Kungfu: Fabian Stech, interview with Yan Pei-Ming,' in Yan Pei-Ming, Execution , Dijon 2006, p.43). The image becomes emotionally charged, compelling the viewer to assign personal meaning to it. Oscillating between gestural representation and abstraction, his singularity of subject matter in conjunction with his use of infinite tautology impresses upon his works' collective character. A timeless beauty, the anonymity of the landscape becomes steeped with meaning, visible not only in the title but in the artist's subtle use of textures, revealing a tactile and layered surface. Executed with both speed and precision and without the use of sketches, Yan Pei-Ming work only seeks to reinforce the importance of the gesture and ultimately the act of painting itself.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: AR TPAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.TP Lots denoted with a 'TP' 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.
