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

λ HENRY BRUCE (BRITISH, B. 1976)'ERRATIC'Tubular stainless steelApproximately 400cm high, 600cm wide Catalogue Note: This giant boulder constructed from stainless steel tube takes its name from geological activity during the last ice age. An 'erratic' is a boulder which has been moved and deposited as part of a glacial flow. Dissonant with its environment an 'erratic' is often a beautiful anomaly. Henry Robert Woolf Bruce (ne Brudenell-Bruce) is a multidisciplinary artist working in the UK. Bruce is particularly well known for his large scale landscape art. "I see my work as an artist as a process of investigation. My studies in Social Anthropology have led me into an enquiry into landscape and the human condition using three-dimensional form.My work engages with ephemera - light, motion and time. By placing work in the landscape I create a locus." Henry BruceCondition Report: Please note that the work currently in the forecourt is to remain at Aynhoe, however the artist has kindly agreed to supply an identical commission for the successful buyer of the lot.

* Catlin (George). Buffalo Hunt, Surround, from Catlin's North American Indian Collection, [1844], lithograph with contemporary hand colouring, 360 x 480 mm, mountedQty: (1)NOTESGeorge Catlin in his 'North American Indian Portfolio', recognised that the existence and way of life of the North American Indian was doomed. The systemic genocide of the indigenous population of North America was on such a scale that by 1900 it was estimated that less than 20% of the population remained and in some areas, it was less than 2%. Catlin made a resolution to record "the history and customs of such a people, preserved by pictorial illustrations, are themes worthy of the lifetime of one man, and nothing short of the loss of my life shall prevent me from visiting their country and becoming their historian". The images he left behind, show a sympathetic understanding of the people and their way of life which was soon to be swept away by a combination of war, disease and overt genocidal racism.
