* ANNE REDPATH OBE RSA ARA LLD ROI RBA (SCOTTISH 1895 - 1965),CABBAGE AND KALEoil on board, signed, titled label versoimage size 51cm x 61cm, overall size 64cm x 74cm Framed. Handwritten artist's label verso.Label verso: Stone Gallery, Newcastle Upon Tyne.Provenance: Sold by Sotheby's, London, 29th August 1995 lot 954.Note: Anne Redpath was born in Galashiels, Scotland, in 1895, the first daughter of a textile designer. She went on to study at the Edinburgh College of Art, where she was described as the most promising student of her year and won a travel scholarship to Italy. Her time in Italy was to have a profound influence on her career. Having spent her early years as an artist immersed in the respectable Calvinist tradition, the opulent sense of the divine in Roman Catholic art proved to be a revelation, with the religious tranquillity of the early Renaissance masters informing her subsequent paintings. In 1920 she moved to France with her husband, an architect, and her art took a back seat as she focused on raising three sons. She did not revisit painting in earnest until she returned to Scotland when the relationship ended in 1934. When she did so, however, it was with renewed vigour. From 1942 onwards, as her confidence in her abilities returned, her palette became more vibrant. She was a central figure in the group of painters known as The Edinburgh School, sometimes described as the heirs to the Scottish Colourists. Redpath was a habitual traveller in her later years, her journeys across Europe becoming the subject of her work; she was well-known for her landscapes, still lifes and pictures of church interiors. Anne Redpath was president of the Scottish Society of Women Artists from 1944-47, working tirelessly to promote the paintings of women who had been ignored by the British establishment. In 1952 she became the first woman artist to be elected to the Royal Scottish Academy as an Academician. UK Public Collections boast 116 examples of Redpath's work including at The National Galleries of Scotland, The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow Museums & Galleries, The Hunterian, The Fleming Collection, The Tate, Kelvingrove, The National Trust and at Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Kirkcaldy, Manchester and numerous others.

Miguel Ortiz Berrocal (1933 Algaidas, Spanien - 2006 Antequera) (F)3-tlg., 'Christina', um 1969, Metall, vernickelt, demontierbar, mit in Emaille eingelassenem Buchstaben 'B', Maße 15 cm x 8 cm x 6 cm, signiert, 2332 nummeriert; Mini-Maria, um 1968, Metall, vernickelt, demontierbar, mit Steincabochon, auf Sockel, Höhe (mit Sockel) 7,5 cm, signiert, 1136 nummeriert, partiell zerkratzt; 'Michèle', Metall, vernickelt, demontierbar, mit Emailplaque und Farbstein, auf Sockel, Höhe (mit Sockel) 10,5 cm, signiert, 02458 nummeriert, Emaille partiell beschädigt, minimal zerkratztDer spanische Bildhauer Miguel Ortiz Berrocal ist besonders für seine sogenannten "Puzzle-Skulpturen" bekannt.

Manche sind sogar klein genug, um selber als Anhänger oder Armbänder getragen zu werden. Berrocal zeigte schon früh ein Talent für künstlerische und wissenschaftliche Arbeit. Er entwarf eigene Spielsachen aus recycelten Materialien und bemalte diese mit selbst zusammengestellten Farben. Er studierte unter anderem an der Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando und an der Escuela de Artes Graficas in Madrid, wo er häufig das Museo del Prado besuchte, um sich neue Inspiration zu suchen.

Clemens Pasch (1910 Sevelen - 1985 Düsseldorf) (F)Mädchen im Mantel, 1962, Bronze, grün-braun patiniert, auf Steinsockel, Höhe (mit Sockel) 76 cm, signiertLiteratur: Wvz. Gertz/Günther 73Der Düsseldorfer Bildhauer Clemens Pasch schuf überwiegend Figuren in betont gelängter Statur, die in statuarischer Positur, oft mit gestreckten Gliedmaßen, oder in lässiger Beiläufigkeit dastehen. In späteren Arbeiten finden sich Körperrundungen wie Oberschenkel und Hüften des weiblichen Körpers stark betont. Eine Reihe seiner Arbeiten finden sich als Großskulpturen im öffentlichen Raum. Es geht dem Künstler nicht um die Abbildung individueller Figuren und Modelle, sondern um den Körper als plastische Erscheinung in seiner Beziehung zur räumlichen Umgebung. Das sitzende "Mädchen im Mantel" setzt dazu gewissermaßen einen Kontrapunkt. Ihr Körper ist von einem Kapuzenumhang vollständig verhüllt, der in seiner ästhetischen Beschaffenheit die Grenze zwischen Abbildfunktion und der reinen schrundigen Materialität der rohen Bronze markiert, während die im Schoß ruhenden Hände und das Gesicht naturalistisch ausgebildet sind. Materialität, Bearbeitungsspuren und aufgerissene Oberflächen sowie der rohe Natursteinsockel treten in ein spannungsgeladenes Verhältnis zur grazilen Ausarbeitung der offenen Körperpartien des Mädchens. Clemens Pasch (1910 - 1985)Girl in a cloak, bronze with greenish brown patina on a stone base, height with base ca. 74 cm, signedLiterature: Wvz. Gertz/Günther 73The Düsseldorf sculptor Clemens Pasch mainly created elongated figures of statuesque posture, often standing in casual poses. In later works, curves of the body such as thighs and hips of the female body are strongly emphasized. A number of his works can be found as large sculptures in public spaces. The artist is not concerned with the depiction of individual figures and models, but with the body as a sculptural form in its relationship to its spatial environment. The sitting ''Girl in a Coat'' sets a counterpoint to this, so to speak. Her body is completely enveloped by a hooded cloak, which in its aesthetic quality marks the boundary between the function of the image and the pure, rounded materiality of the raw bronze, while the hands resting in the lap and the face are naturalistically formed. The materiality, the traces left by tools, the roughness of the surface as well as the raw natural stone base are placed in a tense relationship to the gracefully rendered uncloaked parts girl's body.
Fritz Wotruba (1907 Wien - 1975 ebenda)'Kopf', 1958, Bronze, schwarz patiniert, auf Steinsockel, Maße 14,5 cm x 13 cm x 10,5 cm, signiert, 95 nummeriert, Sockel partiell beschädigtProvenienz: Privatsammlung HannoverLiteratur: Wvz. Janett 212Fritz Wotruba wurde am 23. April 1907 in Wien als Sohn eines tschechisch-ungarischen Imigrantenpaares geboren. Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten österreichischen Bildhauer der Moderne. Der Wiener Künstler löste in seinen Werken zunehmend figürliche Komponenten zu geometrischer Abstraktion auf und trug durch seine blockhaft wirkenden und mit strenge behafteten Plastiken maßgeblich zur Erneuerung der österreichischen Kunstszene nach 1945 bei. 1926 studierte er an der Kunstgewerbeschule Bildhauerei in der Klasse von Anton Hanak. Anschließend nahm er von 1928 bis 1929 an der Klasse von Eugen Steinhof teil. Schon in der Frühphase seines künstlerischen Schaffens neigte er dazu seine menschlichen Darstellungen, ähnlich wie Egon Schiele und Anton Hanak, deutlich zu strecken und zunehmend auf die Ausführung von Details zu verzichten. Für Wotruba war die Gesamterscheinung des Werkes entscheidend, so spielten die Details nur eine sekundäre Rolle. Besonders geprägt wurde die Kunst Wotrubas von Anton Hanak, Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, Wilhelm Lembruck, Georg Minnes und Oskar Kokoschka. 1939 musste der Künstler zusammen mit seiner Frau vor den Nationalsozialisten fliehen und für mehrere Jahre in die Schweiz emigrieren. Als er 1945 nach Österreich zurückkehrte gelang es ihm eindrucksvoll an frühere Erfolge anzuknüpfen. Seine Werke fanden auf internationalen Ausstellungen in Europa und den USA Beachtung. Fritz Wotruba (1907 Vienna - 1975 ibid)'Kopf', 1958, bronze on stone plinth, dimensions 14.5 cm x 13 cm x 10.5 cm, signed, dated 95, plinth slightly damagedProvenance: Private collection, HanoverLiterature: Cat. rais. Janett 212Fritz Wotruba was born in Vienna on 23rd April 1907, the son of a Czech-Hungarian immigrant couple. He is considered one of the most important Austrian sculptors of modernism. The Viennese artist increasingly dissolved figurative components into geometric abstraction in his works and made a significant contribution to the renewal of the Austrian art scene after 1945 through his austere, block-like sculptures. In 1926 he studied sculpture at the Kunstgewerbeschule in the class of Anton Hanak. He then took Eugen Steinhof's class from 1928 to 1929. Even in the early phase of his artistic work, he tended to stretch his human representations considerably, similar to Egon Schiele and Anton Hanak, and increasingly abandoned the execution of details. For Wotruba, the overall appearance of the work was decisive, so the details played only a secondary role. Wotruba's art was particularly influenced by Anton Hanak, Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, Wilhelm Lembruck, Georg Minnes and Oskar Kokoschka. In 1939 the artist had to flee from the Nazis together with his wife, and the couple emigrated to Switzerland for several years. When he returned to Austria in 1945, he succeeded impressively in continuing the successes of his earlier career, and his works attracted much attention at international exhibitions throughout Europe and the USA.
