* GRAEME WILCOX (SCOTTISH b. 1967),BLURRY HEADoil on canvas, signed and titled versoimage size 37.5cm x 28.5cm, overall size 52cm x 43cm Framed.Provenance: McTear's, November 2017. Note: After graduating from Glasgow School of Art in 1993, Wilcox continues to prosper as a painter based in Glasgow. He exhibits regularly in solo shows and group exhibitions throughout the UK and Europe. Recent work depicts people and events experienced in public spaces around the city. These paintings show figures engaged in ambiguous actions in half-remembered spaces. These situations and scenes have lodged in the memory due to some resonance or poignancy that can't quite be dismissed. The resulting paintings are partly an attempt to balance a sense of stillness with a sense of movement; a tension that hopefully generates a heightened feeling of the strangeness of everyday life and those around us. Graeme has collaborated on a number of multimedia projects with Mischief-la-bas-performance group and with other artists, culminating in projects at the Arches and Tramway in Glasgow and the Albany Theatre in London. He has also organised two large scale mural projects in collaboration with the East End Community Arts for Glasgow Health Board and devised and ran "Face to Face" photography project in Glasgow. This Arts Council funded project culminated in a temporary public artwork at the East End Festival in Glasgow. In 2011 he completed a prestigious portrait commission for the newly opened Conway Hall in London. Graeme's work is held in private collections in Europe, the USA and Canada and in public collections in Petrezovodsk, Russia and the Gulf State of Qatar. He is also held in the Corporate Collection of the Royal Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh. The most recent example of Graeme Wilcox's work we have offered was "On the Same Page" (a 112 x 102 cm oil on canvas) which was sold in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 28th March 2021, lot 722 for £5000 (hammer).

Plaque du Nouvel An en grès Böttger, Meissen, circa 1918, E.A non numérotée A Meissen Böttger stoneware New Year Plaque, circa 1918Unnumbered Artist's ExampleOf rectangular form with a moulded frame and modelled in low relief, lightly polished, depicting a putto scattering flowers from a cornucopia seated on the back of a horse below a ribbon inscribed 'Ihren Freunden', beneath the horse the inscriptions 'P. SCHEURICH' above the dates 1918-19 and 'DIE STAATLICHE/ PORZELLAN-MANUFAKTUR/ IN MEISSEN', pierced for hanging on the reverse of the frame, 19.5cm by 14.7cm, impressed crossed swords mark above '100 AUSFORMUNGEN/ No'Footnotes:Literature:Rafael 1995a, ill. 13.1Exhibited:Meissen, Schauhalle der Staatlichen Porzellan-Manufaktur Meissen, Paul Scheurich 1883-1945 Porzellane für die Meissener Manufaktur, 21 September 1995-10 January 1996;Meissen, Museum der Meissen Porzellan-Stiftung, Paul Scheurich. Porzellangestalter Zeichner Grafiker, 6 March 2020-21 February 2021One of Max Adolf Pfeiffer's first initiatives when he became Director of the Meissen manufactory in November 1918 was the introduction of a New Year's gift of a plaque for friends of the manufactory, artists and collectors. Only the best artists were entrusted with these commissions, for which they were allowed complete artistic freedom. The New Year's plaques were also a signal of Pfeiffer's intention that ceramics should become a medium of modern art. Another of Pfeiffer's initiatives was the revival of stoneware production at Meissen, in which he was assisted by the manufactory chemist, William Funk. Known as 'Böttger stoneware', after the manufactory's founder, it was produced for a few years from 1710 until the manufactory perfected the production of white porcelain after which production and interest in the material lapsed. Pfeiffer recognised the possibilities of the material and, in particular, its suitability for modern art (polished stoneware could be a more affordable alternative of comparable quality for sculptures that were otherwise only executed in bronze). Stoneware is especially suited to small-scale plaques and medallions this art reached new heights of artistic quality under Pfeiffer's directorship with medallions by artists such as Scheurich, Paul Börner, Max Esser, and even Oskar Kokoschka.Paul Scheurich's New Year's plaque for 1919 was not only the manufactory's first, it was also the first limited edition signed by the artist, and it was the first modern work of art in the newly-revived Böttger stoneware; it merged the oldest tradition of the manufactory with the newest artistic taste.The manufactory purchased the model on 18 November 1918 for RM 200 and it was initially produced in an edition of 100 (50 in biscuit porcelain [nos. 1-50] and 50 in Böttger stoneware [nos. 51-100]).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
