Lot 64
Incredible piece of David Bowie history here with this 2-track master tape recording reel of "Let Me Sleep Beside You" and "Karma Man". Recorded at Advision Sound Studios, London by Tony Visconti, dated 04/09/1967. This was the first time that David and Tony Visconti had worked together and marked the start of a hugely important collaboration. There is a note written on the box that says "VERY!! Rough Reductions". These tracks were never released by Decca as singles due to them being too "risque" but they did mark an important stepping stone for Bowie as he moved from quirky storytelling songs over to a more rock oriented sound. Also included is a CD backup of the tape. These items are sold as artefacts only, without copyright. Any reproduction is strictly prohibited.

Allison Gildersleeve Untitled Ink and Gouache on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Behind Allison Gildersleeve's canvases, collages and drawings lies a singular proposition: places are not inert; they are repositories for all that passes through them. Gildersleeve deliberately returns again and again to familiar settings - wooded areas, home interiors, open highways, back country roads - to show that repeated visits to the same place invariably result in wildly divergent depictions. Gildersleeve received her MFA from Bard College in 2004, and her BA from College of William and Mary in 1992. Gildersleeve has exhibited widely across the United States and abroad. Notable solo exhibitions include Olle Nymans Ateljeer (Stockholm, SE), Asya Geisberg Gallery (New York, NY), Auxiliary Projects (Brooklyn, NY), Robischon Gallery (Denver, CO), Cynthia Reeves (Walpole NH), Valley House Gallery (Dallas, TX), The George Gallery (Charleston, SC) and Galleri Andersson/Sandstrom (Stockholm, SE). Selected group exhibitions include Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art (NY), CRG Gallery (New York, NY), PS122 (New York, NY), Sharon Arts Center (Peterborough, NH), Dunkers Kulturhus (Helsingberg, SE) and Gana Art Space (Seoul, Korea). Gildersleeve was a 2018-2019 recipient of The Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program in Brooklyn, NY. She has been awarded a NYFA Fellowship as well as residencies at Yaddo, the Millay Colony, the Vermont Studio Center, the Liquitex International Research Residency in London and the Norman Bird Sanctuary in Newport RI.

Adelaide Cioni Go Easy On Me - One Blue with Yellow Stick Mixed Media on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About Adelaide Cioni works at the intersection of textile, painting, and performance. The constant elements at the core of her practice are drawing and an absence of narration. Her research plays with physical perception and mnemonic reactions, to question the conventions that are built around the body and the difficulty to cope with having a specific sex, and to consider what it might mean to translate ourselves beyond our bodies. Cioni's work also utilises decorative patterns to engage with a form of shared non-verbal communication that has existed throughout human history. Education Studied drawing at UCLA, Los Angeles, and holds a BA in Sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome (2015). With an MA in contemporary history and a master's degree in Literary Translation, for ten years she translated American literature (John Cheever, David Foster Wallace, Lydia Davis, among others).

English school, 19th century."Horses and ruins".Oil on canvas.Measurements: 77 x 117 cm.; 89 x 128 cm. (frame).The orientalist taste and the landscapes with classical ruins were two pictorial genres that were in vogue during the second half of the 19th century. Both themes coincide in this composition, in which a certain dreamlike quality is given by the reinvention of a landscape sublimated by the vestiges of stone. Fragments of peristyles, formed by slender Doric columns, form the frame of a leafy landscape presided over by two elegant figures in Ottoman costume. They carry noble horses, one white, the other mahogany-coloured, whose satin skin and turned anatomy are silhouetted against a dawning vault.

The Throckenholt Cross - An early Medieval gold cross pendant, 11th-12th century, the Latin cross composed of arms of triple tiered ropetwist wires with trefoil terminals and beaded detail, with four further bead highlights at the point of intersection, to a broad reeded suspensory loop; applied to the centre is a slightly later Medieval (13th century) vacant lozenge-shaped setting, pendant length 31mm. £6,000-£8,000 --- This cross was found by a detectorist in Sutton St. Edmund, Lincolnshire in 2019. The parish of Sutton St. Edmund includes the hamlet of Throckenholt, where a hermitage and chapel were granted to Thorney Abbey, by Nigel, Bishop of Ely (1133-69). It is probable that there had been a hermitage here for some time, as the Red Book of Thorney states that Throckenholt had been used as a hermitage since 1107. The hermitage is mentioned again in 1189-97 and 1348. In 1293-1305, Abbot Odo of Thorney ordered that two or three monks should reside there as had previously been the case. The chapel stood where Throckenholt farmhouse now stands, fragments of stone, bones and other relics having been found on the site at various times. It survived until at least 1540 when it is shown on a map of Wisbech Hundred (the original is in Wisbech Museum). This cross is of a form associated with Medieval Greek Othodoxy in the Eastern Baltic region. A very similar pendant is illustrated in Austin and Alcocks (ed.), From the Baltic to the Black Sea: Studies in Medieval Archaeology, p 175, figure 10.6, row 5, no. 1. In the accompanying text on Medieval Britain it notes: “Accompanying the spread of Christianity, the archaeological material reveals small Orthodox (11th-14th centuries) and Catholic (12th-14th centuries) crosses, which were at first introduced from abroad.” The illustrated example was discovered in Denmark. In the medieval period Denmark formed part of the Hanseatic League, a commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and market towns in central and northern Europe, growing from a few north German towns in the late 12th century, to encompass nearly 200 settlements across seven modern-day countries at its height between the 13th and 15th centuries. Originally a loose association of traders and towns advancing their mutual commercial interests, these arrangements gradually coalesced into the Hanseatic League, a cohesive political organization by the end of the 13th century, whose traders enjoyed duty-free treatment, protection, and diplomatic privileges in affiliated communities and their trade routes. During the peak of its power, the Hanseatic League had a virtual monopoly over maritime trade in the North and Baltic seas. King’s Lynn, on the North Sea coast, just 20 miles from Sutton St. Edmund, provided a significant enclave and trading partner for the Hanseatic League, housing a representative merchant and a League warehouse, and this may provide a possible explanation for the link between these two very similar crosses. This cross is recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database, Ref: NMS-06E591, and has subsequently been disclaimed as Treasure (2019-T379).

A Medieval gold ring set with a possible toadstone, 14th-16th century, the circular bezel set with a round stone with white cabochon centre within a grey border, the stone collet set, the underside of the bezel with incised flowerhead detail, between trifurcating scrolled shoulders, ring size K. £1,500-£2,000 --- This ring was discovered in Stinsford in West Dorset. The ring is recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database, Ref: SOM-D01838, and has subsequently been disclaimed as Treasure. Lapidaries (i.e. texts that describes the physical properties and virtues of precious and semi-precious stones) were very popular in the Middle Ages when belief that gems held various powers was widely held. Included within these lapidaries, were a few non-mineral items and these included crampodine, or ‘toadstone’. The ‘toadstone’ is round and brownish, and is in fact the palate tooth of a fossilised shark known as Lepidotus. Literary references to toadstones appear from the 12th century when it was believed that the toad, whose breath was venomous, had within its head a stone which was an antidote to poison. The story relates that the toad should be placed on a red cloth and this would cause him to belch forth the stone from its head - the stone should be quickly whipped away before the toad could attempt to reclaim it. Charles Oman of the British Museum, referring to toadstones mounted in rings explained: “Extant examples do not date before the middle of the fourteenth century, but belief in their efficacy survived well into the seventeenth century, though descriptions of techniques for testing doubtful specimens suggest the gradual growth of scepticism. The toadstone was the best known of the substances which were credited with curative or protective powers. It is frequently difficult to identify both the material or the supposed efficacy of some rings which are obviously magical.” Literature: Oman, C., British Rings 800-1914, (B.T.
