Diese Zeichnungsserie, die der Künstler bis zu seinem Tod 1992 fortsetzte, wurde durch den um das Jahr 1500 angelegten Steingarten im Ryoanji-Tempel in Kyoto inspiriert. Analog zu den 15 Steinen in Kyoto verwendete John Cage 15 Kieselsteine, die er nach einem Raster auf dem Papier auslegte und mit bis zu 18 verschiedenen Bleistiften mehrfach umkreiste. Für "Where R = Ryoanji 2R/10" wurden die 15 Steine entsprechend zweimal neu angeordnet und die Zeichnung mit 10 Bleistiften ausgeführt. Insgesamt sind somit 30 Kreise zu sehen.Erwartete Ausrufzeit (+/- 15min)12.09.2024; 16:10 h (MEST)VersandkostenSchweiz / Switzerland: CHF 130.-Europa / Europe: CHF 230.-Übrige Länder / Other countries: CHF 290.-

Richard Eurich OBE RA, British 1903-1992 - Drifting Snow, 1978; oil on board, signed and dated lower left 'R. Eurich 78', also signed, titled and dated on the reverse 'Richard Eurich Drifting Snow 1978', 20.2 x 35.3 cm (ARR) Provenance:with Alresford Gallery, Hampshire (according to the label attached to the reverse); Nigel Reid, purchased from the above in 1998 (according to the inscribed label attached to the reverse); Grant Waters Fine Art (according to the label attached to the reverse) Note: this is a brilliant example of the tranquil snowscapes that Eurich painted across his career and most notably from the 1970s. Eurich had settled in the New Forest in the 1930s and would largely focus on the landscape in his work, focusing on different weather conditions, in his highly refined style. The present work marvelously plays with tones of white, to create a highly subtle and evocative landscape image.

Greenough (George Bellos). A Physical and Geological Map of England & Wales... (on the basis of the original Map of Wm. Smith 1815), Revised and Improved under the Superintendence of a Committee of the Geological Society of London, from the Maps of the Geological Survey of Great Britain, 1836-63 and Maps and Documents contributed by Sir R.J. Murchison, Professor Phillips, Joseph Prestwich, R. Godwin Austen, and others, Published by the Geological Society, July 1865, engraved map, sectionalised and laid on linen on four sheets, bright contemporary hand-colouring, calligraphic title and table of colours explaining the geological strata, slight dust soiling and staining, contemporary blue and gilt patterned endpapers, each sheet approximately 960 x 810 mm, if conjoined approximately 1920 x 1620 mm, contained in a contemporary morocco book box with 'envelope style' lid, the case worn and split with the lid and one side panel detached, heavily worn and rubbed QTY: (1)NOTE:Scarce. This is the third state of Grennough's map and the first to acknowledge William Smith. Greenough was one of the founding members of the Geological Society of London, and its first president until 1811. 'In 1808 he first sketched the boundary lines of the various strata in England and Wales, and in 1810 he travelled over a great part of the country for the purpose of mapping it. At the request of the Geological Society he then, with the help of Conybeare, Buckland, and Henry Warburton, coloured a large scale-map drawn by Webster, and in 1820 published it in six sheets' (DNB). It is understood that Greenough reproduced William Smith's geological map of 1815, and this possibly drove Smith into debtors' prison as a consequence. Published a decade after Greenough's death, this edition was produced by the Geological Society under a committee that included William Smith's nephew, the Professor of Geology at Oxford, John Phillips. This particular edition of the map was the first to acknowledge its connection with Smith in the title.
