The Anthony R. East Classic Motorcycle Collection1968 Greeves 246cc 24DF Police MotorcycleRegistration no. VJJ 980G Frame no. 24DF117Engine no. 161FP1654• One of four supplied to City of London Police• Pictured in Greeves The Complete Story by Colin Sparrow• Authentic police equipmentGreeves' unorthodox trademarks of a cast beam 'down-tube' and rubber-in-torsion leading-link fork proved adaptable to almost all forms of motorcycle from humble commuter to clubman's road-racer, but it was the firm's off-road products which really put it on the map, generating valuable publicity that helped sell the roadsters. Less well known is the fact that Greeves supplied motorcycles for use by the police, the rare example offered here being one of a batch of four 'VJJ'-registered machines supplied to the City of London Police in October 1968. By this time Greeves had effectively abandoned the roadster market to concentrate on their competition models. Villiers having by this time ceased to supply engines, Greeves had to purchase some new-old-stock 35A units from Sharpe Commercials, makers of the by-then-defunct Bond Minicar. As the police needed extra generating capacity to power their radios, these engines were fitted with Dynastart units. The quartet of 'VJJ' police motorcycles and their riders, with Tower Bridge in the background, is pictured in Colin Sparrow's book Greeves The Complete Story (page 121). The photocopy of a buff logbook on file gives the date of this Greeves' first registration as 7th October 1968 to the City of London Police; by 1972 it had passed into private ownership (there is also a photocopy of an MoT certificate from 1974). Also on file is a letter dated 2006 and addressed to Roger Neal (the owner before Tony East) from John Card, authentication officer at the Greeves Riders Association, which goes into some detail regarding what the dispatch records state.In the course of the restoration Tony was able to purchase from a Mr Bill Drummond original police parts taken from his original police Greeves, including the radio, klaxon horn, fire extinguisher, and pannier carriers. The history file also contains other emails and correspondence; various notes concerning the machine's authentication; a quantity of invoices; and a copy of BMS service notes; and a period policeman's uniform. It should be noted that the registration 'VJJ 980G' appears to have lapsed from the DVLA/HPI database.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Durante were two iconic figures in American entertainment, each leaving a unique mark on the music and entertainment industry during the 20th century.Frank Sinatra, often referred to as "The Voice," was celebrated for his smooth and captivating singing style. He rose to fame during the swing era and transitioned into a prominent pop singer, becoming one of the most influential vocalists of his time. Sinatra's extensive repertoire included timeless classics like "My Way," "Strangers in the Night," "Fly Me to the Moon," and "New York, New York." In addition to his musical accomplishments, he had a successful acting career, earning an Academy Award for his role in "From Here to Eternity." Sinatra's charisma and impact on popular culture made him a beloved cultural icon.Jimmy Durante, on the other hand, was known for his distinctive and gravelly voice, along with his trademark oversized nose and jovial personality. He was a versatile entertainer who excelled in various aspects of the entertainment industry, including music, comedy, and acting. Durante's comedic talents and catchy catchphrases, such as "Ha-cha-cha-cha," endeared him to audiences. He had a successful music career with hit songs like "Inka Dinka Doo" and was a popular nightclub performer. His unique style and warm-hearted humor made him a beloved figure, and he left a lasting impact on both radio and early television.In summary, Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Durante were distinct yet influential figures in American entertainment, with Sinatra known for his smooth crooning and acting prowess, while Durante was celebrated for his comedic talents, distinctive voice, and jovial persona.

Yusuf Adebayo Cameron Grillo (Nigerian, 1934-2021)Red Ayan signed and dated 'GRILLO/ 72' (lower right); titled 'RED AYAN' (verso)oil on board121 x 59.5cm (47 5/8 x 23 7/16in).(framed)Footnotes:ProvenanceA private collection, UK.According to Yusuf Grillo, his favourable thematic use of the drummer in his works originated from his childhood. While growing up in Lagos, Grillo and a group of his friends would often be exposed to many drum players at special occasions. As there was no television or radio during his adolescence, drummers became the main source of entertainment at family and celebratory functions. It is these events that prompted a sense of nostalgia for Grillo, and that he revisits in his works when depicting a drummer or in this case Ayan, the Yoruba title for a talking drum player or the action of drumming. Chika Okeke-Agulu argues that the prominence of drums within Grillo's work as 'of all the instruments in Yoruba music ensemble, the drum is arguably the most important because of its ability to produce sonic equivalences of the Yoruba speech'(Chika Okeke-Agulu, Yusuf Adebayo: Painting. Lagos. Life, (Italy: Skira Editore, 2020) p, 39). Grillo himself elaborates on his affinity for the drum: 'We call it 'talking drum' but in the hands of a Master drummer, it is a versatile as a pipe organ. The drum stick selectively hits not only points on the circular skin, its circumference but even outside it. The muscles around the armpit, the fingers on the other hand and at rare times the thigh and knee can produce CHORDS, TREMOLO, and STACCATO.' (Yusuf Grillo, in, IGI ARABA: An Exhibition and Retrospective of Works by Yusuf Grillo, (Art House Contemporary, The Space, 2015).The present work displays a drummer or Ayan in the act of creating music. The bold redness of the work is certainly rare in Grillo's oeuvre, and contributes to the vibrant mood of the work. Where Grillo is widely recognised for his blue and fluid tonal palettes, here he emphasises the main subject, isolating them from their surroundings through this contrasting red. However, the work remains rhythmic in terms of the meticulously geometrical composition, iconic of the artist.To be heavily influenced by his heritage and cultural history was not a peculiar tendency of Grillo. Given his prominent involvement with the Zaria Art Society formed in 1958 collaboratively with other dominant contemporary artists of Nigeria such as Uche Okeke and Demas Nwoko, Grillo's work may be read with a framework of the 'Natural Synthesis' ideology. This concept was rooted with the understanding that incorporating pre-colonial and colonial artistic concepts was to be informed of ones history and was to result in Modern West African Art. By acknowledging the colonial past of their country, the Zaria Art Society sought to regain ownership of their heritage and to not consciously limit their creative intuition. Grillo himself stated: 'This politically desirable aim often forms the philosophy of many a contemporary artist, with the sad result that sincere creative urges are replaced by over consciously chauvinistic syntheses.' (Yusuf A. Grillo,'Appreciations of Felix Idubor', African Arts 2:1 (autumn 1968), p. 33.)Indeed, the drum emulates a symbolic narrative for the cultural life of the people Grillo grew up surrounded by and is therefore befitting of a reoccurring subject in the artist's painting. What makes the present work a rare piece in his oeuvre, is the unusual (yet not abnormal) use of red in the palette and therefore distinguishing the work as rare in comparison to his wider body of work.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Bukowskis Auktioner, 3 June 2019, lot 651. A private collection in Finland, acquired from the above. The catalog entry from Bukowski, dated 5 June 2019, confirms the dating above. Sigurd Yngve Euren (1890-1990) was a Swedish engineer, who initially visited China in 1917 in order to set up a net of radio masts. After this, Euren began constructing bridges primarily along in the Yangtze River and its many offshoots. After a couple of years, he moved to Shanghai and set up his own tea export company which was located along the Bund (Waitan). After some time, Euren and his family moved back to Sweden, bringing a large collection of Chinese art with them. Condition: Good condition with expected old wear, minuscule nicks and minor casting flaws. Light surface scratches to the base. Some areas with faint loss of patina.Weight: 2,478 g Dimensions: Height 21.4 cm Little is known about the historic figure Shisou. The earliest reference in the Zhongguo meishujia renming cidian ('Dictionary of Chinese Artists') comes from the Luochuang xiaodu and is presumably from the same source as published in Zhongguo yishujia zhenglue ('Brief Introduction of Chinese Artists). Shisou is listed there only as a late Ming dynasty monk without any further biographical information. A number of vessels and sculptures from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century bear his name, sometimes in combination with a hall name, Jinyu tang ('Hall of Prosperity').Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Bonhams London, 7 November 2019, lot 13 Price: GBP 12,562 or approx.
