It is the point of no return, where nothing can resist the immense gravitational pull of the black hole. In giving this work such a universal title Newson not only announces this piece as an important fulcrum or pivotal moment in his constantly developing creative process but also reminds us of the importance of exploration and innovation in his work. As a six-year-old boy Newson remembers watching NASA's Apollo moon landings and feeling "a sense of utopia; a sense of optimism pervaded" and he recalled that "it led me to want to create things, to explore things, to be ambitious." By embracing science and technology as both an inspiration and a fundamental basis for his work Newson inspired a new generation of designers to explore industrial advances in materials, to use more traditional ones in innovative applications and incorporate new digital technology in design and production in the creative process itself. Event Horizon is a clear evolution of the Black Hole Table first designed whilst working in Japan in 1988. The beautiful fluidity of this piece was achieved through the use of polyurethane and carbon fibre. In Newson's best-known piece Lockheed Lounge, from the same year, he looked to recreate this plasticity in what he described as a "fluid metallic form, like a giant blob of mercury". However, he was to admit "I never wanted it to be covered in panels. That was the only way I could think of to achieve something close to the effect I visualized." In Event Horizon he realised the effect in metal that he had only previously been able to imagine. The circumstances of how this was achieved were serendipitous but also fitting to Newson's central design tenets. In 1991 Newson was looking to buy his ultimate car; an Aston Martin DB4, manufactured between 1958 and 1963. He went to view one in a car body shop just outside London that specialised in restoring Aston Martins. There he discovered the highly skilled craftsmen creating beautifully fluid car panels. He commented that "What they do is more akin to silversmithing. They work metal as if it were a piece of fabric or plasticene. What you see is this incredibly sensual and refined object." He showed them one of his studies and described what improvements he was looking to achieve. By introducing a small, undetectable degree of positive curvature in the tabletop panel, they were able to give it the strength it needed to withstand the curvature introduced at the edges. A groove was also placed along the top, lending subtle character to the surface and adding enough reinforcement to prevent the top from flexing. Newson wanted the table to be as light as possible while still having inherent strength. The ends of the table are rolled inward for reinforcement, adding a decidedly aerodynamic element reminiscent of the grille of a sports car or the air intake of a jet engine. Painting the inner surface to give it a perfectly lacquered finish was another challenge, requiring the talent of highly specialized auto painting experts. He initially used three colours to celebrate European motorsport; British racing green, Bugatti blue and as in the present work, Ferrari red. He later added orange, yellow and lime green as variations. Event Horizon plays on the dichotomies of mass and space, solid and liquid. Just as an astrophysical Event Horizon alters space and time, the point of no return between reality and theory, Newson has created his own point of departure. A continuous skin like form whose interior volume feels larger than the exterior surface. Its strength appears to come, not from the delicate structure, but from the void below the surface and the hollow funnel legs, which in turn draw you in like black holes. Its fluid sculptural qualities contrast the simple utilitarian nature of the object. From concept, production and realisation this work encapsulates all of Marc Newson's ideologies making it one of his finest masterpieces.Please note: ARR aplies to this lotCondition Report: Please contact the department for all condition report enquiries on pictures@dreweatts.com Condition Report Disclaimer
Three: Drum Major F. J. Brashaw, 1st Battalion, Cheshire Regiment, who was captured during the Retreat from Mons on 24 August 1914 and was awarded an M.S.M. for services rendered whilst a prisoner of war 1914 Star (9219 Cpl. F. J. Brashaw. Ches: R.); British War and Victory Medals (9219 Cpl. F. J. Brashaw. Ches. R.) polished with light pitting and some scratches, therefore good fine (3) £300-£400 --- M.S.M. London Gazette 30 January 1920: ‘In recognition of devotion to duty and valuable services rendered whilst a prisoner of war or interned, which services have been brought to notice in accordance with the terms of Army Order 193 of 1919. To be dated 5 May 1919’ Frederick Joseph Brashaw was born in 1895 at Madras, India, the son of Colour Sergeant A. Brashaw of the 1st Battalion, Cheshire Regiment, stationed at Bellary, India 1895-97. He was enlisted as a Boy into the Cheshire Regiment in 1909 in Belfast and appears in reports of the 1st Battalion Cheshire Regiment sports day at Ballykinler in 1911 as Boy Brashaw, winning the 220 yards handicap for enlisted boys. Also an accomplished lightweight boxer, he was already participating in Belfast prize fights as Boy Brashaw at the age of 17. Following the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, Brashaw disembarked in France with D Company of the 1st Battalion, Cheshire Regiment on 16 August and early on the morning of 21 August, his battalion, as part of the 15th Brigade of the 5th Division, began its march north-eastwards towards the Mons area to face the might of Von Kluck’s First German Army. As the inequality in the fighting strengths of the respective forces became apparent, an inevitable retreat was ordered by Sir John French on the evening of 23 August, although it came as something of a shock to the British troops who were conscious of having inflicted heavy losses on the Germans that day during the fighting around Mons and on the Mons-Condé canal. During the following day, as the withdrawal of the British force from its predicament was successfully carried out, it was only on the left that the fighting was heavy. Here, in open fields near Audregnies, on 24 August, the 1st Cheshires, together with the 1st Norfolks were exposed to the brunt of four German Regiments, each of three battalions, while acting as flank guard to the 5th Division. The Cheshires’ actions caused them to suffer 78% losses in one day due to men killed, wounded and taken prisoner of war but bought valuable time for the rest of the British Expeditionary Force during the retreat. Afterwards Brigadier-General Count Gleichen, commander of 15th Infantry Brigade, paid tribute to the Cheshires, saying: ‘The battalion behaved magnificently in the face of terrible odds and immense difficulty, one could not expect more of them. They did their duty, and did it thunderingly well, as I should have expected from such a gallant battalion, and I am only grieved that they had such terrible losses.’ Corporal Brashaw was captured on 24 August 1914 at Mons and was held prisoner of war for the remainder of the war. Initially incarcerated at Merseberg, it was reported in British newspapers in October 1916 that Brashaw was among a group of 22 British soldiers who volunteered their services as nursing orderlies during the Typhus epidemic that devastated the internment camp at Garderlegen. Twenty of these volunteers caught Typhus and two died. Repatriated after the war, arriving at Hull on 27 November 1918, he married Marjorie Farmer at Knockin, Shropshire in August 1919 and was awarded the M.S.M. for his reported services as a prisoner of war. Remaining in the Army, he advanced to Drum-Major and later settled back in Northern Ireland. In August 1964, on the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Mons, Brashaw returned with a party of 18 old comrades to the village of Audregnies where the men were given a reception and, following a procession, several wreaths were laid at a British Memorial. A photograph of Brashaw accompanied the Belfast Telegraph’s report on the visit and an article in the Cheshire Observer, 4 September 1964 commented: ‘The Last Post was sounded by Drum-Major F. J. Brashaw who was present at the battle 50 years ago. Mr Brashaw, who retired in January 1932 had not played a bugle since he left the Army.’ Brashaw died in Belfast in 1971. Sold with copied research.
