* SARAH CARRINGTON (SCOTTISH b. 1977),EBBING TIDE, GULLANE BAYmixed media triptych on canvas, signed and dated 2001 verso, titled label versooverall size 122cm x 250cm together Unframed, as intended. Handwritten artist's label verso.Note: Sarah Carrington (b.1977) is an Edinburgh born landscape artist. She creates land and seascape paintings using acrylic, ink, emulsion, oil, sand and chalk to describe the variety of textures found at the seashore, and to evoke the mood and weather of the coastlines of Scotland and Ireland. Sarah Carrington graduated in 1999 with a sell-out degree show and an MA in Fine Art from the University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh College of Art. She began her career as a self-employed artist based in Edinburgh; her memories of childhood holidays to the west coast of Scotland and student sailing excursions around the Hebrides have a lasting influence on her sea and landscape paintings. Now based on the north coast of Ireland, she paints both the coastlines of Scotland and Ireland noting the similarities between these two Celtic lands. She has exhibited regularly throughout the UK and her works are held in public and private collections nationally. Sarah is represented by The Open Eye Gallery (Edinburgh) and the Roger Billcliffe Gallery (Glasgow). "Ebbing Tide, Gullane Bay" is unquestionably the largest and most impressive work by Carrington to be offered at auction, anywhere.

* PAM CARTER DA PAI (SCOTTISH 1952 - 2022),GABLES, GEARY (ISLE OF SKYE)oil on canvas, signed, titled label versoimage size 77cm x 77cm, overall size 97cm x 97cm Framed.Label verso: The Braemar Gallery, Braemar.(The typical gallery price for a 77 x 77cm Pam Carter oil would be a little over £6000) Note 1: It was with great sadness that we learnt of the passing of Pam Carter in May after an illness which she wrote about to her database of buyers on 24th June 2021: "I feel at last I am retiring somewhat due to ill health. I am not painting very much these days as I am struggling with the daily regime of chemo tablets; it’s hard getting the balance of effective medication and quality of life". Note 2: Pam Carter was born in Tanganyika, East Africa to an Austrian mother and Scottish father. At the age of thirteen, she came to Scotland where she schooled at Bearsden Academy. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in the seventies. "My main inspiration as an artist is in the Scottish landscape and seascape. I enjoy using colour to define contours, structure and changing light sequences. I search out specific viewpoints. I am equally inspired by the rugged isolation of the Western Isles and the dramatic viewpoints of the Eastern coastline. I work predominantly in oil". Pam Carter was unquestionably one of Scotland's most popular and successful contemporary artists. She won numerous awards and prizes, always received significant media attention, has been the subject of many magazine features and had several tv appearances. Her work is widely exhibited but rarely appears at auction. In The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 17th April 2022 lot 38 "Luskentyre Reflections" a 46 x 51cm oil (smaller than half the size of "Gables Geary") by Pam Carter sold for £2000 (hammer). Comment: Pam was a special artist and one who enjoyed wide popularity and substantial commercial success. In all our dealings with Pam over the years, she was always generous with her time and quick to provide the background to paintings we had received from private consignors and filling in gaps about locations, dates etc. Pam's work is instantly recognisable and she had that rare gift, even among the best artists, of being able to use the minimum of brushwork to create the maximum visual effect. Her "lines" were those of the natural environment but she knew exactly how to "see" them and portray them on canvas. Despite her commercial success, or perhaps even because of it, Pam's work probably hasn't yet reached the full audience that it so richly deserves. She exhibited frequently at numerous galleries in Scotland and gallery owners were inevitably in a queue to secure her work. Typically, Pam showed loyalty to those who were the first to support her when she was a relative unknown. Talented artists always wish to be remembered by their work and Pam Carter can be certain of that, but she'll also be remembered with great affection by all those who had the good fortune to meet her or know her.Condition is good overall, with no visible signs of restoration, damage, or known issues.

(30 x 24 in.)Footnotes:ProvenanceWith Gimpel Fils Gallery, London, where acquired by the present ownerPrivate Collection, U.K.ExhibitedNew York, Marlborough-Gerson Gallery, Barbara Hepworth, April-May 1966, cat.no.39 (ill.)London, Gimpel Fils Gallery, Barbara Hepworth, May-July 1966LiteratureAlan Bowness, Drawings from a Sculptor's Landscape, Cory, Adams & Mackay Ltd, London, 1966, cat.no.71 (ill.b&w)Stringed Figure was created at a time when Hepworth was at the peak of her career. In 1964, her most important and famous commission was unveiled at the United Nations Secretariat in New York, the monumental sculpture Single Form. In 1965 she was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire and also appointed a Trustee of the Tate Gallery, while exhibitions both at home and abroad further celebrated her work, with shows in London and New York, the Netherlands and Scandinavia. It was also however, a time of personal difficulty: she was diagnosed with cancer of the tongue in 1965 and underwent a lengthy and painful treatment for this. She wrote to Ben Nicholson in 1966: 'the last six months have been trying. The treatment (radium) for cancer seems to sap one's vitality & give one terrible fatigue. Even worse I could not eat anything & so got very weak. But I am pulling up now & my surgeon is pleased with me. I have worked – meanwhile - & I think well' (Eleanor Clayton, Barbara Hepworth: Art and Life, Thames & Hudson, London, 2021, p.239). As this statement shows, Hepworth was not one to be deterred by these difficulties, and strove even harder to appreciate the world around her, reflecting that: 'through all these health troubles one learns to live each hour with gratitude & open eyes' (ibid., p. 239). Showing her undaunted spirit when later in June 1967 she broke her leg while climbing aboard a helicopter to visit the Isles of Scilly, she later recalled in 1969 that: 'even breaking my leg was a good thing because it made me extend my arms as far as I could' (ibid., p.239). Clearly, Hepworth was not one to allow her creative drive to be diminished.Stringed Figure was created, then, when Hepworth was battling even through personal health difficulties to continue her artistic practice. The Cornish landscape continued to be an evergreen source of inspiration for her, the light, stone and sea informing so much of her work. Since first moving down to Cornwall in 1939 with Ben Nicholson and their triplets, and after several moves within Carbis Bay, in 1949 Hepworth bought Trewyn Studio in St Ives, where she lived from December 1950 until her death in 1975. Many of the paintings and drawings from 1960 onwards were made in Hepworth's Barnaloft studio flat, which had a view of Porthmeor Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. Stringed Figure has a palette which directly references the landscape which she was surrounded by; the tawny light brown of wet sand, the white of pale sand or breaking surf, and the turquoise of the sea and sky, the visible strokes which make up these washes of colour reminiscent of the striations of cloud, the ripples of breaking waves and tide-marks left in the sand. These sweeps of Cornish sea and sand were something she was to write about particularly poetically: 'The incoming and receding tides made strange and wonderful calligraphy on the pale granite sand which sparkled with felspar and mica.' (Barbara Hepworth, Drawings From A Sculptor's Landscape, London, Cory Adams & Mackay, 1966, p.13). The circle in the top right is also a reference to the natural world, being either sun or moon, both of which featured prominently in her work of this time and relate also to the pierced form in her sculpture. Drawings were for Hepworth a means of capturing new ideas for sculpture, and also – as she was to write in Drawings From A Sculptor's Landscape in 1966, the very year this piece was made – it was a life-affirming act. The above book contained the memorable artistic statement A Sculptor's Landscape from Hepworth, in which she wrote: 'Whenever I am embraced by land and seascape I draw ideas for new sculptures: new forms to touch and walk around, new people to embrace, with an exactitude of form that those without sight can hold and realize. For me it is the same as the touch of a child in health, not in sickness. The feel of a loved person who is strong and fierce and not tired and bowed down. This is not an aesthetic doctrine, nor is it a mystical idea. It is essentially practical and passionate, and it is my whole life' (ibid., p.11). Her use of language at such a testing time is very insightful, and her desire to draw is thus the realisation of this vital spirit, which in her words is 'strong and fierce'. The medium of oil and pencil is one which Hepworth favoured and the contrast of strong, definite graphite over washes of colour something which she particularly enjoyed. Writing about her method, she noted: 'Abstract drawing has always been for me a particularly exciting adventure. First there is only one's mood; then the surface takes one's mood in colour and texture; then a line or curve which, made with a pencil on the hard surface of many coats of oil or gouaches, has a particular kind of 'bite' rather like on slate; then one is lost in a new world of a thousand possibilities' (ibid., p.19). The swing of curving lines is here contrasted with the twisting tension of the diagonal strings, suspended between two arcs. Hepworth has further worked into the surface of the board with light abrasions which show the white of the primed board beneath, echoing the rough rocky surfaces of the landscape. The present lot is a fine example of her very sculptural way of drawing, and how she used this technique to chart and configure three-dimensional space. Seen amid Hepworth's great achievements and writings around this time, Stringed Figure is a work by an artist at the height of her career but also one whose depth of feeling was as strong as ever. Able to look back at her achievements and write authoritatively on them as well as her creative ideals – thrown into sharp relief by her recent health difficulties – this work speaks of a freshness and vitality which was constantly renewed by the remarkable landscape around her, especially given that when inspiration struck her first desire was to put pencil and oil to board. As she wrote so evocatively in the year this piece was made: 'A sculptor's landscape is one of ever-changing space and light where forms reveal themselves in new aspects as the sun rises and sets, and the moon comes up. It is a primitive world; but a world of infinite and subtle meaning. Nothing we ever touch and feel, or see and love, is ever lost to us. From birth to old age it is retained like the warmth of rocks, the coolness of grass and the ever-flow of the sea.' (ibid., p.13). Stringed Figure captures this impassioned and timeless love for the elements perfectly.We are grateful to Jenna Lundin Aral and Sophie Bowness for their assistance in cataloguing the present lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
