As part of the project the Grade II* listed Library is being historically restored and refurnished.The Library has always been the beating heart and enquiring mind of the College and during the redevelopment project the Grade II* listed Library is being refurbished and restored to its full glory.The Library was designed by Sir Charles Barry in 1837 and has been used for this purpose ever since. In 1850, Charles Dickens described how passers-by glancing up at the windows of the College could see surgeons sitting at tables studying in the Library.As RCS England moves from its older premises into its new purpose-refurbished home, there is aselection of charming and well-loved furniture which, sadly, we cannot take with us. This includes wooden tables, chairs, display cases and bookcases and a wooden book trolley. Some of the Library furnitureincluded in the sale has been in use in the Library from the late 19th century until now but, regrettably, not all of the furniture will be appropriate for the new Lumley Library, Research Room, or Members Library when we occupy our new building in summer 2021.The proceeds from the auction will go towards the refurbishment of the Library and the Research Room in the College building in Lincoln Inn’s Fields. Specifically, the proceeds will be used for the rebuilding and replacing the unique, site-specific bookcases which are a defining feature of the Library suite and characteristic of the fine balance between heritage and modernity which will be a feature of the whole building.By the middle of the 19th century, the Library was described as follows in Charles Dickens’ magazine, Household Words:‘The library is a noble, large room, of excellent proportions, occupying the whole length in front, having tall plate-glass embayed windows, each with its table and chair; and, in each of which, the passers-by in Lincoln’s Inn Fields may generally see a live surgeon framed and glazed, busily occupied with his books, or still more busily helping to keep up the tide of gossip for which the place is celebrated. For some twenty feet from the floor on all sides the walls are lined with books. Above this, and just under the handsomely panelled roof, hang portraits of old surgeons, each famous in his time.’[Charles Dickens (1850) Household Words (1), p.464]

Neue Wilde - - Gerhard Naschberger. (1955 Klagenfurt - 2014 Lima). o.T. Acryl auf Leinwand. 169 x 170,5 cm. Verso signiert Naschberger 86. Im Holzrahmen. In der vorliegenden malerischen Arbeit aus den 1980er Jahren kontrastiert Naschberger vor einem kraftvoll bewegt-farbig geschichteten Farbraum, der an das colour-field painting der späteren Protagonisten der New York School erinnert - einen Eisenring mit Knochenfragmenten in monumentaler Größe. In dem Katalog "12 Künstler aus Deutschland" der Kunsthalle Basel schrieb Jean Christophe Amman über Naschberger Jean-Christophe Ammann schrieb 1982: "Ich glaube, es geht ihm letztlich darum, ein banales Motiv in einen Zustand ekstatischer Erleuchtung zu versetzen. (.) Was Naschberger anstrebt ist, dem Unscheinbaren die Glut des Unwiderruflichen zu verleihen." Naschberger studierte von 1974 bis 1979 am Städel in Frankfurt am Main bei Raimer Jochims und Thomas Bayrle. 1979 erhielt er ein Stipendium an der Cooper Union in New York bei Hans Haacke. 1980 gründete er zusammen mit Jirí Georg Dokoupil, Walter Dahn, Hans Peter Adamski und Peter Bömmels die Künstlergruppe Mülheimer Freiheit. In the present painterly work from the 1980s, Naschberger contrasts an iron ring with bone fragments of monumental size in front of a powerful moving, layered color space reminiscent of the color-field painting of the later protagonists of the New York School. In the Kunsthalle Basel's catalog 12 Artists from Germany, Jean-Christophe Amman wrote about Naschberger Jean-Christophe Ammann wrote in 1982: "I believe that his ultimate aim is to transform a banal motif into a state of ecstatic enlightenment. (...) What Naschberger strives for is to give the inconspicuous the glow of the irrevocable." Naschberger studied at the Städel in Frankfurt am Main from 1974 to 1979 under Raimer Jochims and Thomas Bayrle. In 1979, he received a fellowship at the Cooper Union in New York with Hans Haacke. In 1980, together with Jirí Georg Dokoupil, Walter Dahn, Hans Peter Adamski and Peter Bömmels, he founded the artists' group Mülheimer Freiheit.
