* RICHARD "TURNERAMON" TURNER ARCA (BRITISH 1930 - 2013), GUARDIAN OF THE SHADES OF MEMORY oil on canvas, signed, titled and dated 2011 verso 60cm x 76cm Unframed Note: Richard Turner was noted post modernist artist born in Derby England and was educated at Bemrose Grammar School. In 1960, he enrolled at the Derby College of Art where he won the J. Andrew Lloyd scholarship for Landscape, enabling him to study at the Royal College of Art in London, from 1963. There, he was tutored by Carol Weight and Sir Peter Blake. He graduated in 1966 with an Associate of the Royal College of Art Degree, as well as prizes in Life Drawing, Life Painting, and Landscape Painting. His work was much admired by his contemporaries and his tutors. For the next two years, Turner was a lecturer at the Guildford School of Art; working on environmental installation projects with Australian artist Tony Underhill. He was introduced to etching by Peter Olley and Norman Ackroyd. In 1968, he was employed as an epigraphic artist and photographer by the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. For five years, he was based at Chicago House in Luxor, Egypt making facsimile drawings of the reliefs on the walls of the Temple of Khonsu, Karnak and Medenet Habu, adjacent to the Valley of the Queens. In 1973, Turner returned to England, lecturing at Salisbury College of Art for three years, before being re-employed in Egypt by the University of Chicago, for a further four years. During this time he made full scale tracings of all columns in the Great Hypostyle Hall of Luxor Temple. In 1980 he moved to the USA; built a split-level chalet style house in Big Bear, California, and ran his own gallery, named Minnelusa Gallery, on the shores of Big Bear Lake. He also worked as a graphic designer with Treasure Chest Advertising, based in Los Angeles. Four years later, Turner returned to the United Kingdom, and briefly lived in Edinburgh before moving south for five years. He returned to Scotland in 1989, and ran a successful "art holiday" home business from Park House in Kirkcudbright, as well as lecturing part-time in various colleges and schools. In 1993, Turner met HM The Queen and Prince Philip, at the opening of Tolbooth Art Centre in Kirkcudbright. Prince Philip commented on Turner's work saying it looked "refreshingly different". Turner exhibited widely throughout his career including multiple solo shows in London, Manchester, San Francisco, Palm Springs, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Paris, Cairo, Luxor, Kirkcudbright and around the UK.

§ ROGER HILTON C.B.E. (BRITISH 1911-1975) FIGURE - 1972 Signed and dated verso, oil on canvas(91.5cm x 76cm (36in x 30in))Footnote: Provenance: The New Art Centre, London. Note: Roger Hilton is considered an important pioneer of abstraction in the post-Second World War era of British art, as well as one of its most successful proponents. Marked out as a great talent from an early stage, Hilton studied at the Slade under Henry Tonks between 1929 and 1931 and was the recipient of the Orpen Prize and Slade Scholarship. He went to the Academia Ranson, under Roger Bissière, then to Atelier Colarossi, Paris. On returning to London in 1933, he continued his studies at the prestigious Academy Schools. Very shortly after, he was welcomed to exhibit with the London Group, continuing to do so until 1951. He had a significant retrospective at the ICA in 1958 and in 1963 he won the prestigious first prize at John Moores Exhibition in Liverpool. A year later, he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale, and by 1968 he had been appointed a C.B.E. In all, a stellar trajectory which marks him as one of the most significant Modern British artists of the 20th century. Hilton’s career is famously closely associated with the St Ives School, the coastal seat of Britain’s abstract art movement and answer to the American Abstract Expressionists. Indeed, it was during his first visit to Cornwall in 1950 that he produced his first truly abstract painting; the successful reception of which led to his inclusion in the seminal book Nine Abstract Artists, published in 1954. By 1957 he had moved to Cornwall permanently. Key motifs in his work included abstracted explorations of the landscape and the human form. A larger than life character: quick-tongued, egotistical and a lover of women and alcohol, Hilton’s semi-abstracted/semi-figurative works from the mid-1960s to early-70s, like the example offered here, burst with character. Vital, sexually charged and darkly humorous, it is easy to grasp why this body of works are among the best loved of his career. ‘Figure – 1972’ is one of the last oils the artist painted, before turning to gouache works on a smaller scale; a change incited in the main by his declining health due to the alcoholism that would eventually kill him in 1975. Subsequently recognised as an important work in his oeuvre, ‘Figure – 1972’ has been exhibited at the Tate, and was held for some years in the important Harriman Judd Collection; a pair of Californian connoisseurs who are perhaps best recognised for championing British pottery, including the studio pottery of the St Ives School.

λ AGUSTÍ PUIG (SPANISH B.1957)MAN AT ONE SIDE, 2017Mixed media on linen laid to board Signed and inscribed Barcelona verso 220 x 330cm (86½ x 129¾ in.)Unframed SALEROOM NOTICE:Please note the measurements are 122cm wide, 160cm high, and not as stated in the printed catalogue. Agustí Puig was born in Barcelona in 1957. Puig learned a great deal of his craft working in different artist's studios as a young art student at Escola Massana and Cercle Artistic Sant Lluc in Barcelona. Whilst his first solo exhibitions were in Barcelona and other Spanish cities he was soon to break through onto the international exhibition circuit with shows in Lisbon, London, Paris, Germany, Japan and the United States. Puig's large scale canvasses are monumental in size and impact. The works are layered with thick pools of paint and impasto which flow smoothly across the canvas. The artist also works with ceramics and sculptures. His interest in tactile materials is evident in these canvases and the way he has built up the layers. The figures are sometimes represented in side profile or facing one another, like the diptych presented in this auction. The juxtaposition of black, white and red is particularly powerful and reiterates the scale of the works as the viewer stands beneath the works soaring above them. The singular lines, splashes, scratching out and thick impasto don't immediately look like figures and then one sees the outline of a head, or an eye peering through and this is when you realise the body of the work as a whole. Puig also has a passion for etching and printmaking and most famously worked on the poster and postage stamp for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. Condition Report: There are some minor scuffs and abrasions to the edges and in two small spots on the thicker areas of surface impasto, but generally it appears to be in excellent original condition. SALEROOM NOTICE:Please note the measurements are 59.5cm x123cmCondition Report Disclaimer
