Lot 231

Introduced at San Diego Comic Con in 2013, Tom Whalen's interpretation of the cult 1960's "Batman" TV series was a huge success with his distinctive drawing style perfectly suiting the subject matter and, although caricatures, the actors are easily recognisable. I particularly like how Whalen has drawn the Batmobile.

§ IAN HAMILTON FINLAY (SCOTTISH 1925-2006) FAX, IDLING ITS SAILSScreenprint, and another screenprint by the same artist 'Poverty, pitted with larks' (Dimensions: 17cm x 89cm (6.75in x 35in)) (Qty: 2)Biography: Ian Hamilton Finlay was a Scottish artist and writer. Trained at Glasgow School of Art, following the war, he spent a period working as a shepherd and started to write poems. With time, he began to compose poetry and inscribe them into stone; the resulting sculptures are often incorporated into the natural environment. Many of them are situated within Little Sparta, his master-work, a five-acre garden he developed with his wife, near the Pentland Hills outside of Edinburgh. Gardening and art happily cohabit here, and the expanse of land is full of his sculptural work. In 2004, Little Sparta was voted most important Scottish work of art, by a panel of artists and arts professionals, ahead of Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Glasgow School of Art and Henry Raeburn’s The Skating Minister. Finlay was prolific, endlessly creative and collaborative. Printmaking was a large part of his artistic practice, often made in collaboration with other artists, writers and technicians and involving both text and visual elements. Finlay was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1985.

§ RAY RICHARDSON (BRITISH B.1964) A PLACE YOU CAN'T PLACE - 2016Screenprint, P.P., signed, dated, titled and editioned in pencil to margin, unframed and two further screenprints by the same artist: 'Friday Street' and 'Mandatomyass' (Dimensions: 30cm x 72cm (11.75in x 28.25in)) (Qty: 3)Biography: Ray Richardson is a contemporary British artist known for his cinematic paintings which employ symbols of working-class London, including English Bull Terriers, soccer pitches, urban landscapes and gritty dockyards. Richardson was born in 1964 in London, in the neighbourhood of Woolwich Dockyard, an area that would eventually deeply influence his art. He attended Saint Martin's School of Art and Goldsmiths College in the 1980s and won his first British Council Award in 1989 followed by the BP Portrait Award in 1990. It was during this time that he gained recognition for his narrative-based representational works and began a long collaborative relationship with three international galleries: Boycott Gallery in Brussels, Galerie Alain Blondel in Paris and Beaux Arts gallery in London. Since 2016, he has collaborated with the Zedes Art Gallery in Brussels. Combining academic pictorial tradition with contemporary culture and his interest in film noir, Richardson’s works capture the everyday scenes in southeast London mixed with social commentary and his personal concerns. In 2014, two of his works were included in the exhibition ‘Reality: Modern and contemporary British painting,' which was held at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts and the Walker Art Gallery. This show highlighted the most influential painters from the last sixty years, exhibiting Richardson’s works alongside the likes of Francis Bacon, Ken Currie, Lucian Freud, and David Hockney.

§ THE CONNOR BROTHERS (BRITISH B.1968) EVERY SAINT HAS A PAST AND EVERY SINNER HAS A FUTURE - 2020Screenprint, 40/50, signed, numbered and dated in pencil to margin, unframed (Dimensions: 75cm x 50cm (29.5in x 19.75in), full sheet)Biography The Connor Brothers, fictional twins Franklyn and Brendan Connor, were raised by ‘The Family’, a Christian cult that cut them off from modern society as children. At the age of 16, they escaped the cult and fled to Brooklyn together to become artists. This pseudonym initially allowed them to maintain anonymity, but they have since shed the fictional guise to align their work with social causes such as the European refugee crisis. The Brothers are known for their satirical and humorous work that explores emotion, truth and reality, and the need for distraction in contemporary society. Their ‘Pulp Fiction’ series recontextualises the artwork of 1950’s dime novel covers, centreing on images of vintage pin-up beauties, dishevelled heroes and old Hollywood starlets. The Brothers juxtapose these romantic subjects with unexpected, witty captions, giving the images new and disconcerting meanings.

§ HOWARD HODGKIN C.H, C.B.E. (BRITISH 1932-2017) UNTITLED (BRUSHSTROKE) - 2010Screenprint, 30/75, signed with initials, numbered and dated in pencil to margin, in original oak wood frame selected by the artist (Dimensions: 36cm x 25cm (14.25in x 9.75in))Note: This series of prints was gifted by the artist to The Art Fund 'Brushstrokes' series, it was distributed to key donors to the fund. Biography: Considered to be one the most important British artists of the twentieth century, Sir Howard Hodgkin was a central figure in the country's modern art movement. Born in 1932 in Hammersmith, London, Hodgkin was determined to become a painter from the young age of five. During the Second World War Hodgkin, along with his sister and mother, were evacuated to Long Island, USA. There his ambitions to paint were reinforced after seeing pictures by Matisse, and Picasso at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan. After returning to England he attended Eton College. After running away from school twice, Hodgkin was transferred to Bryanston School in Dorset however he soon ran away again to pursue his ambition of becoming a painter. Hodgkin first trained at Camberwell School of Art, followed by four years studying at Bath Academy of Art. In the mid-1950s a wave of Abstract Expressionism exhibitions in London had an important impact on the development of his style, and to an extent liberated him as an artist. Hodgkin has exhibited at numerous notable institutions including the Hayward Gallery and Gagosian. He was also granted numerous major shows including exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, Tate Britain as well as representing Britain at the 1984 Venice Biennale. In 1976 Hodgkin's first retrospective was curated by Nicolas Serota at the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford, and in 1992 he was knighted for his services to the arts.

She painted in an abstract style for a period, before returning to a figurative approach around 1995. She is probably best-known for her portraits, but has recently started to work with collage elements too. Flannigan does not rely on preparatory drawings or working from models, preferring to develop her visual ideas directly on the canvas.

§ BANKSY (BRITISH B.1974) RAT RADAR DIRTY FUNKER (BROWN)Screenprint on record sleeve with vinyl record, unframed (Dimensions: 30.5cm x 30.5cm (12in x 12in))Biography: Banksy is a contemporary British street artist, activist, and film director who has maintained an anonymity, despite his international fame. Although details of the artist’s life are largely unknown, it is thought that Banksy was born in Bristol, c. 1974, and began his career as a graffiti artist in the city in the 1990s. His work traditionally acts a form of cultural criticism; a political and social commentary through satirical street art and stencilled works. His work, which mysteriously appears on location, combines graffiti and epigrams and has been featured publicly on streets, walls, and bridges of major cities throughout the world. Although Banksy no longer sells photographs or reproductions of his street graffiti, his public installation pieces are regularly offered for sale, even if it means removing the wall they were painted on. A small number of Banksy's works are also officially, non-publicly, sold through Pest Control, a handling service acting on behalf of Banksy. Banksy's documentary film Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010) debuted at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary the following year. Banksy continues to create work worldwide, winning awards and notoriety. He was awarded Person of the Year at the 2014 Webby Awards and, in 2015, opened Dismaland Bemusement Park, a temporary art exhibition that functioned as a theme park and included collaborations with fellow artists. One of the artist's most famous stunts was his shredded painting in 2018. As a painting by Banksy was sold at auction for $1.4 million, a mechanism was triggered that caused the artwork to partially shred, resulting in a new piece titled Love in the Bin (2018).

KEITH HARING (AMERICAN 1958-1990) MONTREUX JAZZ POSTER (YELLOW) - 1983Screenprint, unframed (Dimensions: 100cm x 70cm (39.5in x 27.5in), full sheet)Biography: Keith Haring had a startlingly brief but intense career, spanning just over a decade. He learnt basic cartoon skills from his father, and studying popular culture such as Dr. Seuss and Walt Disney, before starting to train as a commercial graphic artist. But it was moving to New York City that set his path; there he discovered a thriving alternative art community in the streets, subways and clubs, he quickly made friends and became a part of this scene. Inspired by artists like Jean Dubuffet, Pierre Alechinsky, Christo and Andy Warhol, Haring’s aim was to create a truly public art, using his graphic skills. The subway became his artistic laboratory, when he started drawing with white chalk onto unused advertising panels that had been covered in matte black paper, becoming a familiar presence in the city and developing his distinct visual language. Between 1980 and 89, he gained international recognition, with exhibitions across the globe and a huge number of high-profile collaborations with other artists, musicians and designers. Always committed to disseminating his work as widely as possible, he established the Pop Shop in 1986, selling affordable goods with his drawings on them. After being diagnosed with AIDS in 1988, he established his foundation, which continues to expand the audience for his work, while generating funding for AIDS organisations and children's programmes, as he had intended. An icon within contemporary art, Haring created a visual language that remains instantly recognisable across the world – his dream realised.

§ LIL NEILSON (SCOTTISH 1938-1998) BLUE CRUSADER IIIScreenprint, U/P, 1995, signed, dated, titled and editioned in pencil to margin (Dimensions: 29cm x 41.5cm (11.5in x 16.25in), image size)Biography: Lil Neilson studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art from 1956-60 including a post-diploma year under Alberto Morrocco and was awarded a travelling scholarship to France and Italy. On her return she joined Joan Eardley in Catterline as they had become friends during her time at Hospitalfields. During this time Neilson also worked backstage at theatres such as the Traverse in Edinburgh before returning to Catterline to help nurse Eardley in the New Year of 1963. After Eardley’s death Neilson bought No.2 South Side, Catterline and made her home in one half and her studio in the other. It is clear that Neilson’s work owed a great debt to Eardley both technically and her choice of subject matter but at the same time there is little doubt that in her best work she created paintings which were very much ‘Neilson’

JESUS RAFAEL SOTO (VENEZUELAN 1923-2005) UNTITLED (MULTI-COLOUR)Screenprint, 30/120, signed and editioned in pencil to margin, with printed paper slip, unframed (Dimensions: 69cm x 69cm (27.25in x 27.25in), full sheet)Biography: Jesús Rafael Soto was a Venezuelan op and kinetic artist, a sculptor and a painter. Soto was born in 1923 in Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela. He studied at the Escuela de artes plásticas in Caracas from 1942-1947 and then worked as director of the Escuela de bellas artes in Maracaibo, Venezuela, until 1950. At this time, he moved to Paris, where he befriended Yaacov Agam, Jean Tinguely, and Victor Vasarely, as well as artists involved with the Galerie Denise René. Soto participated in Le mouvement (The Movement) at Galerie Denise René in 1955, which was the exhibition that effectively launched Kinetic art. While his early work is illusionistic in style, Soto began to experiment with geometric and organic forms in his paintings and sculpture, moving toward abstraction by the end of the 1950s. By 1965 he had returned to his affinity for geometry and also began making linear, kinetic constructions. Major exhibitions of Soto’s work were held around the world at Signals Gallery, London in 1965, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago in 1971, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York in 1974, and Musée national d’art moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris in 1979. These exhibitions each consisted of kinetic installations of plastic string or nylon thread, which transformed the gallery spaces into a constructed environment. The spectator’s experience within these spaces, which was often deliberately unsettling, was central to the work’s meaning. Soto was commissioned in 1969 to create two murals for the UNESCO buildings in Paris. Several more public commissions followed in the coming years, including two in Venezuela. The Museo de arte moderno Jesús Soto opened in 1973 in Soto’s city of Ciudad Bolívar. The museum houses work by Soto along with works by international avant-garde artists he admired, including Jean Arp, Kazimir Malevich, and Man Ray. Today, his works can be found in other important international collections, including Tate (London), Museum Ludwig (Germany), Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna (Roma) and MoMA (New York).

§ WILHELMINA BARNS-GRAHAM C.B.E. (SCOTTISH 1912-2004) ORANGE AND RED ON PINK - 1960-91Screenprint, 17/70, signed and numbered in pencil (Dimensions: 76cm x 48cm (29.75in x 19in), full sheet)Provenance: The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh Biography: Born in St Andrews in 1912, Wilhelmina Barns-Graham's artistic career would span over seven decades, constantly driven by fresh inspiration and an overwhelming creative impulse. During her lifetime she would struggle with the critical eclipse of her work in favour of fellow members of the St Ives School with which her name has become inextricably linked. Undaunted, however, she would continue to produce work of astounding beauty until the last months of her long and full life, and is now recognised as one of the greatest British artists of the 21st century. Barns-Graham divided her time between Cornwall and Fife, and so too her artistic influences and training were fed both by her training at Edinburgh School of Art, and by the fertile creative atmosphere of St Ives. Here from 1940 she would meet and befriend the leaders of the new School; Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Naum Gabo. Artistic osmosis was inevitable in this small Cornish town which would become renowned internationally as the seat of Modernism in Britain, yet Barns-Graham would soon develop her own clear pictorial vocabulary. Alongside her later more abstract work, Wilhelmina found constant inspiration in the landscape across Britain. Barns-Graham visited Orkney several times throughout the 1980's, and indeed on an earlier trip she had delighted in the natural geological slab patterns of Warbeth's beach, recreating them in some of her works. Art historians have seen 1988 as the beginning of a final phase in Barns-Graham's development, a late burst of creativity that would last until the end of her life. Having been reminded of her own mortality by a period of severe illness, her work would attain a higher pitch of urgency and freedom of expression. In these later works, we see the masterly draughtsmanship and skilful manipulation of line for which Barns-Graham had first garnered critical praise.

§ JAMES HUGONIN (BRITISH B.1950) ODE - FOR BASIL BUNTING, 1986Four screenprinted images, from an edition of 90, H/C/IX, each in a paper folder and accompanied by letterpress text in paper folder and all enclosed in slipcase, each screenprint signed with initials and editioned in pencil verso, letterpress text signed (Dimensions: 30.5cm x 25cm (12in x 9.75in)) (Qty: 4)Biography: James Hugonin was born in Barnard Castle, County Durham in 1950. He studied at Winchester School of Art, West Surrey College of Art and Design and Chelsea School of Art. In his work, he explores the movement of light across a space, and its constant rhythmic change. His work is easily identifiable given the grid structure which he imposes over many of his paintings, which he claims, paradoxically, frees him from the constraints of painting. He has had a series of solo shows but has also been part of several group exhibitions across the UK. Hugonin lives and works in Northumberland, in a studio of his own design.

§ VICTOR VASARELY (HUNGARIAN/FRENCH 1906-1997) NOVAEScreenprint, mounted on cardboard, unframed (Dimensions: 58cm x 49cm (22.75in x 19.25in), full sheet)Biography Victor Vasarely was born in Hungary and although initially he spent two years studying medicine he joined the Podolini-Volkmann Academy in 1927. It was during this period that Vasarely first heard of the German Bauhaus school of crafts and fine art. To that end he enrolled in the Bauhaus Muhely Academy in which the basic concepts of the teaching were that all the arts should achieve a unity of purpose based on the cube, the rectangle and the circle. In 1930 Vasarely moved to Paris where much of his work was for advertising agencies. In 1944 Vasarely had his first important exhibition at the Denise René Gallery and it’s success encouraged Vasarely to devote himself to painting. In the late 40’s Vasarely began to move from paintings that were abstract but evolved from representational images to abstract works that were entirely composed of geometric shapes. During the 50’s and 60’s Vasarely began to develop this approach further and he finally achieved international recognition when he exhibited at MOMA alongside other important artists such as Bridget Riley. Vasarely‘s later work explored every aspect of what was to be known as Op Art including distorting and warping images and creating complex three dimensional structures. He was made an honorary citizen of New York Grand Officier de l’Ordre National du Mérite.

In 1961 he exhibited at the Paris Biennale. Tilson's early work had been in a realist style but quickly moved to abstraction and by the early 1960s had begun to produce pieces in brightly coloured wood reminiscent of children’s' toys. His screenprints often transform this imagery into a two-dimensional format or provide a commentary to his oeuvre. One of the leading figures in the Pop Art movement in Britain, Tilson helped set the tone for the visual language of the Swinging Sixties.
