'The only incident that sticks in my mind is the weekend I spent with Roy Rogers, American Cowboy singer in San Francisco', says Wiener. 'Then one day lightning struck! I was assigned to write a comedy sketch for Dinah Shore and Peter Lind Hayes...This new experience of drawing opened my eyes and heart to the one activity that now had real meaning to me.' After moving through drawing, watercolours and oils, he gave up his Hollywood activities and moved to Paris to focus on his art.The subject of 'hands' was a recurrent theme in Wiener's work. He had an exhibition called 'A Show of Hands' (an exhibition of musical drawings) held and displayed at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden for a number of months in 1971. Other notable people's hands include the Stan Getz Quartet, Yehudi Menuhin, Sir Colin Davis, Golda Meir and many other great musicians, conductors and political figures of the 60's and 70's. His work has been exhibited at numerous institutions in the UK, USA, France and beyond, including the Tate, Barbican, BFI, American Embassy Cultural Centre in Jerusalem, the San Diego Museum, Bodley Gallery in New York, and Oxford University, among many more.Literature:Wiener, Martin, 'Taking a Line for a Walk', Scarecrow Press, London, 1985.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Kenneth Wolstenholme: The Distinguished Flying Cross and Bar to Flight Lieutenant K. Wolstenholme, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve the BBC sports commentator who uttered the immortal "Some people are on the Pitch, they think it's all over, it is now" for the 1966 World Cup final match against Germany. Distinguished Flying Cross, G.VI.R., dated 1944 and engraved (F/LT. K. Wolstenholme.) with second award bar dated 1945, in original Royal Mint case of issue, with miniatures comprising: D.F.C. and bar; 1939-1945 Star; Air Crew Europe Star with France and Germany bar, Defence Medal; War Medal; Air Efficiency Award; R.A.F.V.R. tie pin, two RAF Pilot's Flying Log Books, an album of black and white privately taken photographs Wolstenholme was born in Worsley on the 17th of July and was brought up in Salford his first sporting memory was watching Bolton Wanderers with his dad when he was four. He attended Farnworth Grammar School, where Alan Ball, was also a pupil some years later. Before the outbreak of the Second World War Wolstenholme began his career as a journalist with the Manchester City News, as a member of the R.A.F.V.R. he was called up. In 1941, he qualified as a bomber pilot and was posted to 107 Squadron, flying Mark IV Bristol Blemheim's out of RAF Great Massingham, Norfolk. At the start of 1943 he transferred to de Havilland Mosquito with 105 Squadron, part of Air Vice-Marshal Don Bennett's No.8 Group RAF pathfinder Group. A modest man, with a distinguished flying career, Wolstenholme rarely spoke of his courage as a bomber pilot who flew 100 missions during the Second World War, for which he received the Distinguished Flying Cross in 1944 and the following year a BAR to his DFC for continual bravery in raids in Germany. After the war, he became a freelance journalist, working for BBC Radio. In 1948 his television career began, he covered the 1959 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final between Kilkenny and Waterford for BBC Television, an experience which moved him to describe hurling as his second-favourite sport after his first love, football. At the conclusion of the 1966 World Cup final Wolstenholme will be best remembered for his commentary, specifically the impromptu words "Some people are on the pitch... they think it's all over... it is now" as a small pitch invasion took place just as Geoff Hurst scored to put England 4–2 ahead. This iconic phrase has become part of World Cup folk law. He commented on many high profile matches over the years including 23 successive FA Cup finals, 1967 and 1968 European Cup finals and five World Cups.

Koerner, William Kentridge: Smoke, Ashes, Fable (Brussels: Mercatorfonds, 2017) p.31Casspirs Full of Love as a group of works is a testament to William Kentridge's multi-disciplinary and multi-layered practice. The various incarnations of the subject, made between 1988 and 1989, include a drawing, an encaustic, a screenprinted banner and the present drypoint, itself printed in two phases, between 1989 and 2000. The satirical title of the work, inscribed prominently to the right in looping cursive handwriting, refers to a personal message overheard by Kentridge on a popular radio program, from a mother to her son in the white South African defence force: this message comes to you from your mom with Casspirs full of love. Casspirs were armoured riot-control vehicles deployed by the South African defence force under the National Party regime of apartheid (1948-94), for the forceful patrol of black townships during the state of emergency declared in 1985 and renewed until 1990, leading to arbitrary racial arrests and persecution. The tense juxtaposition of love and death, affection and violence, also expressed textually: what comfort now? at left, Not A Step at lower centre, highlight the contradictions inherent to the apartheid state. The work also resonates with scenes from William Kentridge's 1989 film Johannesburg, 2nd Greatest City after Paris (see Lot 1 on previous page), while the heads were inspired by drawings the artist made in 1988 in Florence, based on Giotto's early 14th century frescoes in Santa Croce, that he later cut up and rearranged, and were also influenced by a Tony Cragg bronze sculpture of carved beetroot heads he saw in Florence that same year. As William Kentridge said: The print became a combination of Giotto, Cragg and 1980s South African radio. It has come to be known as one of Kentridge's most overtly political projects, and its importance is reflected in the fact that impressions of the print appear in significant international collections such as those of the Metropolitan Museum and the MOMA in New York, the Johannesburg Art Gallery, and the Tate in London.Printmaking has always been primary to Kentridge's practice as an artist, and the highly charged, textural surface and intensity of contrasts in the inking and composition of Casspirs Full of Love demonstrate his masterful exploration of the etching and drypoint mediums. The impression presented here provides the final version of the image as printed by master printer Jack Shirreff at 107 Workshop, Wiltshire, England in 2000.

Currently based in East London where he co-runs Cultivate, a now nomadic gallery, previously housed in a space smack bang in the middle of East London's Vyner Street. Sean regularly exhibits both in galleries, alternative spaces and on the streets. Sean paints every single day, he also runs Organ magazine, has presented on London arts radio station Resonance FM, run a long-standing alternative record label, put on hundreds of left-field gigs and music events - all this very much fuelled by a DIY punk rock ethic.

Meanwhile his #43leaves pieces go on - the most recent #43leaves drop was on the streets of Bristol during Upfest weekend where Sean had been invited to paint testival, The #43Leaves pieces are paintings on found recycled material, paintings left hanging on the street for people to just take - art drops, leaves left, there has now been well over 2000 paintings left on the streets Sean was brought up on the isle of Anglesey, made his first artistic moves in North Wales and North West England, he has now lived and worked in East London for more than half his life.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork The ongoing matter of looking up is still very much just that, ongoing. Something that started in Margate in late Summer 2019 and goes on with several new paintings looking over the River Thames and most recently a painting looking beyond a church in Hackney. No idea where these Skyline paintings are going to go, or for how long the series of paintings will go on for, right now I'm enjoying the act of just looking up, of distilling the information, the sky, the space, the shape, the skylines, the sky beyond the rooftops or the spires or the light reflecting off the Shard. Someone asked if I was putting this series of paintings together for a show, no, I'm enjoying them without that pressure, just enjoying them Message from Art On A Postcard: Please do not bid if you intend to sell on the artwork. All artworks have been generously donated by the artists to raise money for The Hepatitis C Trust and when work is sold on the secondary market, it damages our relationship with the artist and prevents us from fundraising
