John Piper C.H. (British, 1903-1992)Mosaic Coffee Table, circa 1957 signed 'John/Piper' (lower right)ceramic mosaic, painted metal and wood107.5 cm. (42 1/4) longFootnotes:ProvenanceThe Artist, from whom acquired by the parents of the present ownerPrivate Collection, U.K.In 1957 Piper saw another artist Martin Froy working on a mosaic mural at the Kingston workshop of Dennis M. Williams & Co. Dennis Williams was from a lineage of 'Freeman Tilers' and proposed that he and Piper design some tables. The intention was to revive the use of mosaic as a modern decorative art and indeed during the late 1950s and 1960s many new civic and commercial buildings incorporated mosaics as a featured surface especially in the public areas. With Williams' principal assistant, Mrs Grace Grove, vitreous glass, ceramic and porcelain was imported from Italy, Sweden, Spain and India. Some squares were made to Piper's specification e.g. a rich monastral blue and a delicate pale yellow. Thus Piper had the technical and workshop facilities to interpret directly his designs into mosaic patterns. He worked closely with setting out the individual tesserae in all the ventures.In 1957 Piper's main pre-occupation with stained glass design fed directly into how he set about displaying the mosaic colours onto the table tops. Namely he favoured using distinct colours in bold abstracted patterns but with something of the effect of age and softening of ancient stained glass by partial interspersing and graduating of colour boundaries. Piper created four main scales of mosaic tables, another similar example of the present lot is illustrated in Frances Spalding's John Piper, Myfanwy Piper: Lives in Art, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2009, colour plate 53. Another example on this scale is also in the collection of Pallant House, Chichester.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

Also with a concert programme for Exeter ABC Cinema and an official press pass for the event.Provenance from vendor:I came down to see my brother at Exeter Uni when he was studying there. We’d got tickets to see the show on October 28th and, as an aspiring photographer, I managed to blag my way into the pre-show photo opportunity and Q&A session. As you can imagine at the height of Beatlemania it was a bit of a scrum and George was forced to sign standing up and pressed against people, which explains why his signature is all over the place. Luckily I was able to photograph him signing (I can’t remember if he was signing my book at the time but it was either side of doing so) and below is the photo I took. The other three signatures are reasonably legible considering the circumstances. I also got the Rolling Stones autographs for my brother as I got backstage for their show in Feb ’64 at Guildford. Which is when I got signatures of some of the other musicians in the show’s lineup. My brother got all the other signatures in the book… he was social secretary at Exeter Uni at the time, was responsible for booking the various artists and grabbed their autographs when they appeared there.**THIS COLLECTION IS BEING SOLD AS A PACKAGE FROM THE BEATLES CONCERT IN EXETER IN 1963. THE SIGNATURES IN THE AUTOGRAPH BOOK HAVE NOT BEEN AUTHENTICATED BY ROGER EPPERSON HOWEVER OUR VENDOR WOULD PREFER THE COLLECTION TO BE SOLD TOGETHER AND NOT TO BE SPLIT HENCE US LEAVING THE AUTOGRAPH BOOK WITH THE OTHER ITEMS FROM THE CONCERT**
