James Cauty (British b. 1956)Suicide Bunny 2Giclee printUnsigned, numbered 29 of 321 with stampFramed and glazed41 x 30 cm (16.5" x 12")Over a diverse and productive career Cauty has distinguished himself as a musician, record producer, artist and cultural provocateur through fusions of high art, low art and popularist mediums to spectacular effect. As a teenager Cauty drew the intricate multi-million selling Lord of the Rings poster for British retailer Athena. With Alex Patterson as The Orb and with Bill Drummond as The KLF and the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, Cauty co-wrote and produced a string of global top ten hits. As The K-Foundation, Cauty and Drummond staged a series of seminal actions including the 1994 K Foundation Art Award for Worst Artist of the Year and the K Foundation Burn A Million Quid. From experimental sonic weapons (the Advanced Acoustic Armaments), to anti-Iraq war postage stamps (Stamps of Mass Destruction), and model making (Riot In A Jam Jar and the Aftermath Dislocation Principle) Cauty’s work combines dissent, cultural subversion and gleeful level of high humour. His roguish and voluble approach has earned him a cult following for work that remains radical, responsive and darkly comical. He produces work that draws on and responds to contemporary culture, sampling it and selling it back as recoded realities. In 2013 Cauty completed The Aftermath Dislocation Principle (ADP), a vast 1:87 scale-model landscape (equivalent to 1 sq mile in miniature) which has been completely looted, destroyed, burnt and is devoid of life apart from 3000 or so model police that attend this apocalyptic aftermath. In 2015 the ADP was installed in Banksy’s Dismaland in Weston Super Mare.This lot is also sold subject to Artists Resale Rights, details of which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.

'At 3,32 (or thereabouts)' the Pruitt-Igoe projects were demolished. Like so many modernist blocks, their architects had promised good housing for all using an economy of design and modern materials impervious to the elements and fashion. In fact, their design was so compromised they were dynamited less than 20 years after construction. In their seminal postmodern text, Learning From Las Vegas, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott-Brown documented the Vegas strip during the fat Elvis era. Succeeding Gio Ponti as Domus' editor in 1979, Alessandro Mendini wrote of the architect's obligation to accommodate the taste, even the bad taste, of the client. The postmodern citizen would be the determinant of design, the historic city not a gaudy maras to be bulldozed and built anew along rational lines, but accommodated by the architect whose obligation was to add to it in sympathy with its citizen's needs AND desires. (Who doesn't love fat Elvis?) This was the intellectual thrust of postmodernism.It was Alessandro Guerrero's supergroup, Alchymia, through which these ideas were first expressed in three dimensions. Designed in 1979 as a series of prototypes by Mendini, Ettore Sottsass and Andrea Branzi, amongst others, the 'Bauhaus One' collection was conceived along the lines of a fashion show. Pieces were to be exhibited for one season only, sold, another collection produced for the next, 'Bauhaus Two'.The star of that first show was Mendini's 'Proust'. The most significant chair since Gerrit Rietveld's 'Red and Blue Chair', it began as a reproduction monster-piece found in a Milan junk shop. Signalling the return to decoration made superfluous by functionalism, a section of a Paul Signac painting was projected onto the whole and copied by artists Pier Antonio Volpini and Prospero Rasulo, the aim to fuse kitsch and high culture. Sottsass' 'Svincolo' lamp in the same 'Bauhaus One' collection went so far as to employ bare neon tube lighting redolent of the Vegas strip. In fact, a take on the Italian autostrada illumination, the surface decoration on the totem featured Sottsass' now famous 'Bacterium' pattern. If stared at too long, the design causes a hallucinatory effect as the bacteria seemingly squirm before the eyes.People are not purely rational. Indeed, much of our behaviour is predicated on emotion, logic being a means of post-rationalisation - the decorative laminate applied to chipboard. Architects must acknowledge this duality. Yes, we want our built environment to provide accommodation, but it should also speak to our emotions. Design can seduce, shock, delight, even delude in its trickery and Alchymia does just this. Revelling in a dishonesty of materials such as decorative laminate and rattle-can paint, the group alchemised base metal into architectural gold. Lappino Binazzi had been a member of the Italian radical UFO group of the late sixties. The big film studios were in financial difficulties, and seeing their discarded props and advertising, he appropriated the signage in a series of lamps. The 'Paramount' lamp was first produced by Groupo UFO in 1970. The PARAsol began the title, the ceramic MOUNTain beneath completed it. Together with the MGM lamp, the 'Paramount' was reissued by Alchymia in 1979 for the 'Bauhaus One' collection, its new context making explicit the postmodern implications. Is there a more alchemical process than actors playing out a scripted fiction which, when projected onto a flat screen, creates a 3D reality that feels as vivid as any lived experience? Sottsass' 'Structure Tremano' in the present sale is also from 'Bauhaus One' collection and distinguished from later Belux and Kumewa editions by the glitter lacquer. Alessandro Mendini estimated that on average about six of each of the 'Bauhaus One' pieces were produced. Perhaps because of his association with the Memphis group, which built on Alchymia's blueprint, Sottsass' pieces are amongst those items made in greater numbers. Nonetheless, an original Alchymia 'Structure Tremano' is rare. Moreover, like all the Bauhaus One collection, it needs to be understood intellectually - 'read' as Mendini put it - to be fully appreciated.The plinth is made of chipboard – base metal - and covered in shinny white laminate – gold - whilst its scale suggests it is designed to bear great weight. In a historical sense it does. The tubular steel legs reference Marcel Breuer's work at the Bauhaus. Revolutionary in the 1920s, tubular steel chairs like the 'Wassily' had, by the late seventies, become as much a cliché as the corporate lobbies they furnished, and this is the 'function' of the 'Structure Tremano'. It is not the wobbly looking tubular legs which tremble in the shock wave from the Pruitt-Igoe's detonation, but Modernism itself. In the vacant lot was built Memphis Milano, Alessandro Mendini's Groningher Museum and Frank Gehry's Guggenheim.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

The Arab Bureau was set up in 1916, its main role was the collection and dissemination of intelligence and propaganda about the Arab regions of the Middle East and North Africa. Map making was a key aspect of its work, and made use of both secret and open sources of intelligence to help in the struggle against the Allies' enemy, the Ottoman Empire.
