§ GERALD LESLIE BROCKHURST R.A. (BRITISH 1890-1978) THREE PRINTS: THE DANCER - 1925; BY THE WINDOW; A MOUNTAIN MAN Etching, signed and dated in plate, signed in pencil to marginBY THE WINDOW, Etching, signed in plate, signed in pencil to marginA MOUNTAIN MAN, Woodcut, signed with monogram in print, signed in pencil to margin Dimensions:plate sizes 24cm x 14cm (9.5in x 5.5in); 14cm x 10cm (5.5in x 4in); 12.5cm x 10cm (5in x 4in) Provenance:Provenance: Private British collection Note: Gerald Brockhurst’s primary muses were Anäis Folin and Kathleen Woodward. Both sat for numerous portraits and figure studies with the aid of lavish period-style costumes and props, often in whimsical guises inspired by the heroines of Shakespeare or Greek mythology.Anäis, Brockhurst’s first wife, was the defining muse of his early portraiture. For most of the First World War the couple lived in Ireland where they befriended the artist Augustus John. During this period Brockhurst predominantly produced paintings, and was encouraged by John to adopt a freer paint-application technique.Brockhurst had experimented with printmaking in the 1910s, but it was not until the early ‘20s that he committed to etching in earnest. In a market increasingly oversaturated with etchings of landscapes and urban views, Brockhurst concentrated on portraiture, many of which were transpositions of compositions he had painted in the late 1910s and early ‘20s. He soon achieved distinction for his rendering of skin, hair and textiles with astonishing naturalism. Each composition is imbued with a refined stillness, with flesh that appears almost to glow and to possess conceivable weight and mass.From 1928 Brockhurst joined the Royal Academy Schools as a visiting teacher and met the sixteen year old Kathleen Woodward, who went by ‘Dorette’. She became his new muse, and the pair later married.In 1939 the couple moved to America where Brockhurst enjoyed great acclaim. Commissions from prominent figures including Marlene Dietrich, The Duchess of Windsor and J. Paul Getty helped crystallise his legacy as one of the most important British portrait artists of the early twentieth century. A retrospective of Brockhurst’s portraiture was held at the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Graves Gallery in Sheffield and the City Art Gallery in his native Birmingham.

Cindy Sherman is an American artist widely recognized for her groundbreaking work in photography. She was born on January 19, 1954, in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. Sherman is known for her conceptual self-portraits in which she assumes various roles and personas, challenging conventional ideas of identity, gender, and representation. Sherman's photographs typically feature herself as the subject, but she transforms her appearance through makeup, costumes, props, and elaborate staging. By presenting herself as different characters, often referencing stereotypes from popular culture and art history, Sherman raises questions about the construction of identity and the influence of media on our perception of self. One of Sherman's most influential series is the "Untitled Film Stills" (1977-1980), where she presents herself as female characters from fictional narratives reminiscent of film noir and classic Hollywood cinema. Through these images, she examines the role of women in media and society, exploring themes of sexuality, power dynamics, and the gaze. Throughout her career, Sherman has continued to experiment with various styles and themes, challenging and subverting traditional notions of beauty, femininity, and the representation of women. Her work has had a significant impact on contemporary art, particularly in the field of photography and feminist art. Cindy Sherman's photographs have been exhibited internationally in major museums and galleries, and she has received numerous awards and honors for her contributions to the art world. Her work continues to provoke critical thinking and spark discussions about identity, representation, and the boundaries of art.

Winifred Nicholson (British, 1893-1981)View from my Bedroom oil and metallic paint on canvas68.6 x 76.2 cm. (27 x 30 in.)Painted circa 1960sFootnotes:ProvenanceThe Artist, from whom acquired directly by the family of the present ownerPrivate Collection, U.K.LiteratureChristopher Andreae, Winifred Nicholson, Lund Humphries, Farnham, 2009, p.160, cat.no.151 (col.ill.)Winifred Nicholson's paintings are so often celebratory. They are riotous odes to ephemeral sources of joy, whether that be an exquisite vista or a flower of especial beauty, expressed with delight in colour and form. Alongside celebration, a consistent theme in her work is seasonality and the comfort one finds in the familiarity of experience as each year passes.The present painting, a classic example of Nicholson's signature windowscapes painted from her own bedroom, displays both these themes. Outside the window the trees are bare of leaves, awaiting the arrival of Spring, and a dove-grey sky hangs low over distant wintery fells beyond. Once Spring arrives, Nicholson would often populate her windowscapes with sprouting bulbs or early cut flowers. Here however, perhaps painting too early in the season for such props, Nicholson turns her brush to a book resting open. Nicholson's enjoyment of reading is touched upon in a letter to a friend where she wrote 'It's good weather to paint, the world looks wonderful, but I'm more interested in my new book, which is into its third volume, and I've had a delicious lonely fortnight'. (Letter to Kathleen Raine, St Patrick's Day 1949). The literary context of the present work is emphasised by Nicholson's choice of colour, specifically the dazzling patterned curtains which flank the composition. Nicholson considered that 'yellow is the atmosphere of wisdom, reflection and calm' (Winifred Nicholson, 'World Review' Liberation of Colour, 1944).The title of the present work confirms the room is the Artist's and in 1954 Nicholson wrote a short piece entitled I Like To Have A Picture In My Room, in which she lists desires for her ideal domestic space. She states 'I want a window in it, I want a telephone, a radio and a television set. All these are contacts and doors in the outer world' (Winifred Nicholson, 'Christian Science Monitor', I Like To Have A Picture In My Room, 1954). A book, of course, could be added to this list as a means to view the world beyond a room. As such the present work contains two 'windows' on to the world, each awarded almost equal pictorial space by Nicholson, thus affording a dual interpretation of the painting's title View from my Bedroom.We are grateful to Jovan Nicholson for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.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

An original production-used Pflager-Katsumata Series D "LAPD 2019" stunt blaster prop, as seen used by Harrison Ford in the role of "Rick Deckard" and additionally handled by Ryan Gosling as "K" in Denis Villeneuve's sequel film, Blade Runner 2049 (Warner Bros., 2017). The stunt blaster is constructed of lightweight rubber and expertly styled to resemble its iconic double-trigger predecessor from Ridley Scott's original film, Blade Runner (1982), with a textured orange grip and a black metallic finish to the muzzle and chamber. According to the film's prop master, Doug Harlocker, he and his team studied the original PK-D blaster prop, which had incorporated a functional Charter Arms Bulldog revolver and Steyr rifle receiver, while constructing new blaster props for Blade Runner 2049. They created three versions of the weapon for the production: several functional models (capable of blank fire that would generate muzzle flash), as well as some replicas and stunt versions, with one stunt blaster used during production (The Art and Soul of Blade Runner 2049, Alcon Entertainment LLC, 2017). The blaster can be seen during the final third of the film, when K tracks Deckard to an abandoned hotel casino in Las Vegas. K spots what appears to be a dog in the shadows of the lobby, when he hears a voice behind him. He turns to see the blaster emerging from the shadows prior to Deckard's face coming into view. Deckard fires at K and the pair fight, K knocking the weapon from his hand and then retrieving it from the floor and pocketing it. Includes a DVD of the film.Approx. 6.5 x 9 x 1.5 inches
