1/10, bronze127cm x 66cm x 46cm (50in x 26in x 18in)Provenance: Purchased directly from the artistExhibited: Gerald Laing: Sculpture at Chisenbury Priory, Chisenbury Priory, 2002Literature: Gerald Laing: Sculpture at Chisenbury Priory exhibition catalogue, 2002, p.3 (titled Woman with Wet Hair)Footnote: Note: Artist's catalogue raisonne no. 476. This work is the one illustrated in the catalogue raisonne. It was conceived in Laing's New York studio in 1987.The 20th century produced a number of significant British sculptors. A common course charted across many of these careers was the departure from or outright rejection of the traditional. In many cases the figure, if it remained discernible at all, was typically heavily abstracted. Broadly speaking, the classical tradition became an increasingly inactive reference point, unless that point was to consciously subvert it. What makes Gerald Laing so fascinating is the fact that he chose to gravitate back towards sculpture’s formal roots, completely against the grain of his peers and indeed the general trajectory of Modern art.Originally heavily involved at ground zero of the UK and America’s Pop Art scene, Laing made an extraordinary pivot away from the radically minimalist and abstracted forms of his early career and, from the 1970s onwards, saw out his remaining decades as a master figurative sculptor in the classical manner.It is recorded that he underwent this transformation at the end of the 1960s. Apparently disillusioned with the art scene, he returned to Britain from the States in 1969 and headed northwards, acquiring the ruins of the medieval Kinkell Castle in the Black Isle, Scotland. Over the course of three years he meticulously restored the castle using local craftsmen and traditional techniques. By the end of the 1970s he had a large-scale foundry in full operation on the estate. As well as the life-changing undertaking that was the restoration of Kinkell, Laing spoke of his “epiphany” in 1973 while looking at Charles Sargeant Jagger's great First World War Artillery Memorial at Hyde Park Corner: “As a result of this experience I changed my entire method of working”. He had found his new visual language.This move away from the hegemony and narrow definitions of ‘the avant-garde’, a radical action in itself, had been a huge risk. Gradually, however, his career went from strength to strength and the commissions - public and private - rolled in, with no project seemingly too ambitious in scale or design.In 1987, the work offered here was conceived and sculpted in clay from life in New York, and later that same year it was cast in bronze at Kinkell. An edition of only 10, the piece is conceived as a garden statue and water fountain. The model was a professional dancer, and her elegant figure, redolent in style of the French 19th century greats like Maillol and Rodin, throws her head gently backwards while a stream of water pours through her hair. Though visually it seems to possess the domestic intimacy of a Degas bather, she is standing not in a basin but a clam shell like a Renaissance goddess. Laing’s work is full of these pleasing art historical reference points, evidencing a scholarly understanding and appreciation of the evolution of figurative sculpture.

Signed, oil on board23cm x 36cm (9in x 14in)Footnote: Exhibited: Glasgow, Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, 1943Note: Hunter was born on the Isle of Bute and emigrated to America with his family in 1892. He established himself as an artist in San Francisco before moving to Glasgow in 1906. The city remained the base to which he returned throughout a peripatetic life which included significant amounts of time spent in France. Hunter had his first solo exhibition at Alexander Reid's gallery, La Société des Beaux-Arts in Glasgow in 1913, with the business supporting him for the rest of his career.By 1918, Hunter was in touch with S. J. Peploe and their work was shown with that of F. C. B. Cadell in The Leicester Galleries, London five years later. They were joined by J. D. Fergusson for a group exhibition at the Galerie Barbazanges, Paris in 1924, for another at The Leicester Galleries the following year and with the addition of Telfer Bear and R. O. Dunlop at the Galeries Georges Petit in the French capital in 1931, shortly before Hunter's death, aged fifty-four.Between 1919 and 1926, Hunter spent part of each spring and summer in Fife in eastern Scotland, which is bordered by the Firth of Tay, the Firth of Forth and the North Sea. As Bill Smith and Jill Marriner have written 'He came upon an important source of inspiration through his fortuitous discovery of Fife and the possibilities inherent in its colourful landscape and rural architecture...it opened up a whole new realm of possibilities for Hunter. Subsequently he would go to Fife in any season. It was there that he made the break to paint en plein air. The artistic ground he gained as a result marked an important turning point in his development in terms of modern colour.' (Bill Smith and Jill Marriner, Hunter Revisited: The Life and Art of Leslie Hunter, Edinburgh 2012, p. 79)'Largo' comes from the Gaelic word meaning hillside and is the name of a region in the East Neuk of Fife. It consists of the villages of Upper and Lower Largo and Lundin Links. It was in this area that Hunter painted the present work. Given its intimate scale it was probably made on the spot in direct response to the view before him, of modest fishing boats moored at Lower Largo harbour.The scene is captured in confident brushstrokes, highlights of bright colour and harmonious tones of pale blue and green. A sense of movement in the sea and the vessels atop it is communicated. The eye is led out to the horizon, past rocks which break the surface of the sea and the modest, summarily-described figures gathered on the harbour wall on a fresh, sunny day.

Edward McGuire (1932-1986)Barn OwlOil on board, 30 x 22cm (11¾ x 8¾'')Signed with initials and dated (19)'85; also signed, inscribed and dated 1985 versoEdward McGuire’s paintings are unmistakable for their slightly uncanny, surreal quality. Their dreamlike character emerges, almost paradoxically, from the sense of heightened reality he achieves in his portrait and still life subjects. The latter consisted chiefly of taxidermal birds, particularly owls, and occasionally dead game birds.McGuire was a son of the charismatic Senator Edward McGuire, a high profile sportsman and at the time owner of Brown Thomas. Despite fragile health in his early years, the young Edward grew up to be a sports enthusiast himself. Half-hearted efforts to guide him towards the family business never gained traction. He studied art history, then painting, in Florence and Rome – with a subsequent spell at the Slade in London, where he came into contact with Lucian Freud. Freud and a good friend of his, the Irish painter Patrick Swift, were by far the most important influences on McGuire’s painting.Like Freud, he combined an often bohemian lifestyle with a focused commitment to his work and, again like Freud, he was a slow, painstaking worker: to complete four paintings a year was a good average, he reckoned. Many consider him to be the best Irish portrait painter yet. He had an affinity for poetry and poets (many, including Seamus Heaney, John Montague, Michael Longley, Michael Hartnett and Paul Durcan feature in his impressive roll-call of subjects). But it’s fair to say his heart was in his bird paintings.He was just 20 when he met the Natural History Museum’s venerable taxidermist and acquired three birds from him, an owl, a lapwing and a duck. That same owl is probably the bird in this and several other paintings. “I am not a genius…” McGuire wrote, “I know my limitations and that is why I lay so much stress on the technical side.” He painted with reference to his own colour dictionary and tonal scale, compiled over a ten-year period and, he noted, regardless of subject, each painting was for him a precise construction and an exploration of colour and tonal values.Aidan Dunne, October 2021

French artist Jean Lucrat had pioneered this approach in tapestry design some years earlier, developing a technique, which prioritised the material as the guiding principle for the design rather than an attempt to make the tapestry conform to the characteristics of the painted image. Le Brocquy was drawn to Lucrat's example, whereby he could create very detailed and colour coded templates that the weavers would follow with exact precision. He rejected the painted cartoon in favour of a full-scale linear design. This allowed him to directly indicate each transition of colour and tone in the woven fabric.He had already collaborated on numerous occasions with the workshop of Tabard Frères et Soeurs in the Aubusson region. In 1973 he resumed working on a new series based on the themes and imagery of The Táin. This resulted in the Cúchulainn tapestries, which emerged in various iterations over the following decades. The Milles Tetes (Thousand Heads) series is a distinctive example of both Le Brocquy's sustained interest in representing the human head and the visual effect of inverting colour and tone. This work is a unique piece, commissioned for a private client, which draws on the similar design tropes of the series.The stylized heads arranged in rows, suggestive of some massing force, are distinctive, drawn with their own features and characteristics. Yet through their repeated presence across the woven surface, they blend into one another to create 'a mass of human presence' (Dorothy Walker, Louis Le Brocquy, Dublin, 1981, p.51). The dark austerity of the Tain's illustrations are replaced here by vibrant colours. The shift in tone from bold primary colours in the centre to paler hues creates a dramatic effect.In this work, Le Brocquy was able to explore the interdependence of form, colour and narrative content on a monumental scale. It is an extremely expressive work in which he has layered the colours, to exemplify the full spectrum. The background shifts from black to varying degrees of grey and white, which is then layered with primary colour tones. These move across the tapestry from paler hues in arrangement of blue, green, yellow and red. The longer you observe it, the more visually receptive it becomes. As Le Brocquy remarked on this effect on the human eye, "Further to the emotional character of single and interrelated colour, lies the magic of colour inversion. Staring fixedly at a colour or colours, the saturated eye - shifting to a white surface - precisely inverts those colours both in hue and tonally. A retinal 'memory' emerges inverted, an entirely new perception as contrary as night from day".

However, this latter altarpiece is no longer in place and its current whereabouts is unknown.The present painting, which has been cut down, is related to the upper section of the preparatory drawing given to Philippe de Champaigne now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris (inv. no. 19869, see fig. 1), presumably made in preparation for the commission for Saint-Merry. The Louvre sketch has also, on occasion, been attributed to Philippe's nephew, Jean-Baptiste de Champaigne (see: N. Sainte Fare Garnot, Cahiers du dessin français no. 11, Champaigne and his workshop, 2000).The present work was painted by Jean-Baptiste but using his uncle's earlier drawing. It is known that Jean-Baptiste often helped his uncle, particularly on large-scale religious commissions, such as the Martyrdom of Saint Agatha for Saint-Merry. The face of the Virgin, for example, can be compared to the figure of Aurore in Jean-Baptiste's La Nuit e L'Aurore now in the Louvre (inv. no. RF 1986 62) originally painted for the apartments of the Grand Dauphin at the Tuileries palace.It is very likely that the present painting was cut down to half of the original composition of the Martyrdom of Saint Agatha as the angel, lower left, is flying downwards, out of the picture, with a laurel crown in hand ready to place on the head of Saint Agatha.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
