λ Liza Todd-Tivey (British b. 1957), Nashua and Clem, a colour patinated bronze group of a racehorse and groom, naturalistically modelled and mounted to a circular stained wood base inset with metal plaque, 31cm high, 39cm wideProvenance:Private Collection of Nick Robinson, founder of Kennet Valley Thoroughbreds, a pioneer of shared racehorse ownership in the 1980's and esteemed publisher of horseracing books and magazines.Animal sculptor Liza Todd-Tivey has portrayed the American thoroughbred alongside his groom of 26 years, Clem Brooks. This strikingly intimate and informal portrayal is the result of a 1982 commemorative commission on larger scale by Leslie Combs II, founder of Spendtrifth Farm, Kentucky, where Nashua spent his final years. Spendthrift Farm allowed casting of a limited edition of 75 bronzes on a smaller scale, such as the one presented here. Todd-Tivey has completed many private commissions of wildlife sculpture and other race horses (including models of Seattle Slew and the Canadian stallion Northern Dancer, casts of which are also included in this collection), and is the daughter of iconic actress Elizabeth Taylor and producer Mike Todd. Alongside John Skeaping, she was the only modern sculptor to be included in John Fairley's influential book, Great Racehorses in Art, first published in 1984.

Jacobus Hendrik Pierneef (South African 1886 - 1957) MALUTISsignedoil on board29,5 by 39cmPROVENANCEStephan Welz & Co. in association with Sotheby's, Johannesburg August 1994, lot 323 Unusual, but simultaneously unmistakeable, Malutis (Lot 439) serves as a wonderful example of one of South Africa's most well-known artist?s visions of the country. With each and every Pierneef, the artist's pure enamorment with the South African landscape is translated through his palette and composition. This particular work is monumental in its approach, with the artist's clear understanding of linearity and space resulting in a piece with a deceptive sense of scale which seems to transcend the 30 by 40cm board, while maintaining its sense of harmony and tranquility.Pierneef's deep knowledge and understanding of indigenous landscapes allowed him to capture natural forms through is use of colour, form and paint application. While Malutis is simplified and visualised through a geometric rendering of space, the use of terracottas and mauve-greys translates light and shadow and indicates a sense of space and depth. As is often seen in his work, an object or obstacle is placed in the immediate foreground of the piece, clearly dividing the plains into foreground and background.We know that Pierneef often returned to areas of the country from which he drew the most inspiration, which is the case with the Maluti (or Maloti) mountain range, which extends from the Free State into Lesotho. The artist first visited Lesotho, then Basutoland, in 1922, revisiting the area on many occasions throughout his career. Perhaps the most notable visit was for the completion of Malutis, Basutoland, one of the 28 commissioned Johannesburg Station Panels in 1929, which were presented in 1932. Pierneef travelled to Lesotho again in 1936 and wrote in a letter to friend A.C.Bouman that he had 'found wonderful designs for stylised work in Basutoland', which we believe is reflected in this work. -ACNel, P.G. (ed.), J.H. Pierneef: His life and his works, (Cape Town and Johannesburg, 1990), pp. 50-85.
