Eric Gill A.R.A. (British 1882-1940) Two Alphabet Calligraphic Moulds each initalled and dated 'AERG 09' in reverse (lower left), plaster(each 30cm x 55.5cm (11.8in x 21.8in))Footnote: Eric Gill learnt letter cutting at the Westminster Technical Institute at the beginning of the 20 th Century, and lettering from the calligraphic master Edward Johnston and he went on to have a successful career as a self-employed letter cutter from 1903 to 1910. By 1909 Gill was collaborating with Johnston on a portfolio of 16 plates called Manuscript & Inscription Letters , cutting two Hoptonwood stone panels with numbers and alphabets. These panels were cast in plaster by C. Smith & Sons, plaster moulders of Kentish Town, and sold to students of lettering. Gill also taught Design for monumental masons at the Central School from 1906 to 1910, and it is possible that these are one of a number of casts made for the students at this date or later.

First appearing in 1979, the figure of the hare dominated Flanagan's practice ever since, and is represented in institutional collections and beloved public sculptures around the world. When asked about this particular choice of subject, Flanagan stated: 'I find that the hare is a rich and expressive form that can carry the conventions of the cartoon and the attributes of the human into the animal world. So I use the hare as a surrogate or as a vehicle to entertain in a way. The abstract realm that sculpture somehow demands is a very awkward way to work, so I abstract myself from the human figure, choosing the hare to behave as a human occasionally.' (the artist in: Barry Flanagan: Sculpture 1965-2005, exh. cat., Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, 2006, p. 65)In the 1970s, Flanagan moved away from his earlier conceptual work towards a more figurative practice. He started modelling the human form and a range of different animals in bronze, but the motif of the hare is really the one that stuck in the collective mind and came to symbolise his practice. Allegedly inspired by both a hare he watched hopping happily across the English countryside in the late 1970s, and by George Ewart Evans' book The Leaping Hare published in 1972, Flanagan first represented the animal in his now-seminal work Leaping Hare from 1979. A study of the hare's significance around the world in folklore, poetry, mythology and art throughout history, George Ewart Evans' delightfully light-hearted book fuelled Flanagan's interest for the remainder of his artistic practice. The subject of the present work, two anthropomorphised hares balanced on top of each other, first appeared in a smaller format in 1981 which was shown in the very first exhibition of Flanagan's bronzes at Waddington Galleries in London that same year. A resounding success, the exhibition of Flanagan's sculptures truly propelled his career, and he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1982.Flanagan's most iconic sculptures, of which Acrobats is a quintessential example, all succeed in conveying a sense of movement and physical tension whilst remaining wonderfully playful. One can't help but smile at the comical representation of humanlike hares engaging in sporting activities, such as boxing or acrobatics, which unlocks childhood memories of absolute freedom and whimsy. As author Paul Levy puts it, 'nothing is more free, vital, spontaneous and alive – from Aesop's hare outrun by the tortoise to Bugs Bunny – than a capering hare. In France and most of Central Europe, it is the hare that lays eggs at Easter and so promises renewal. In fact, Flanagan's hares do not carry much of this historic symbolic freight; they simply frolic freely and expressively. They don't symbolise life, they live it.' (Paul Levy, Barry Flanagan: Linear Sculptures in Bronze and Stone Carvings, exh. cat., Waddington Galleries, London, 2004)The present work was acquired over 25 years ago by prominent American collector and philanthropist Gerard L. Cafesjian, and remained in his Estate's collection until now. Born in 1925 in Brooklyn to Armenian immigrant parents, Mr. Cafesjian became a highly successful editor at West Publishing - a firm specialising in legal materials - and spearheaded the launch of the annual 'Art and the Law' exhibition, for which he received the prestigious Business in the Arts Award. Mr. Cafesjian's passion for collecting began with a childhood fascination with geology and gemstones, which later branched into fine art. Over the years, he patroned and developed personal relationships with world-renowned sculptors and ultimately assembled an impressive collection of both lapidary and fine works of art.Upon his retirement, Mr. Cafesjian committed his time to art and charity, as he founded the Cafesijan Family Foundation to support mostly Armenian causes. He founded the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art in Arizona in 1999, and, in the early 2000s, he set his sights on an enormous, unfinished and crumbling Soviet structure in Armenia's capital city as the site for a private museum. The building's ambitious renovation and expansion resulted in the creation of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts, which, upon its inauguration in 2009, was touted by the New York Times as being a modern-day 'Hanging Gardens of Armenia' and is best known for its world-class sculpture garden.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.TP Lots denoted with a 'TP' will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
