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

λ JONATHAN WARRENDER (BRITISH B. 1954)CHEQUERS Oil on canvas Signed with initials and dated 1982 (lower right) 39 x 32.5cm (15¼ x 12¾ in.)Provenance:Commissioned direct from the artist in 1982 Baroness Margaret Thatcher, Chequers Residence, Private CollectionThence by descent to the Estate of Baroness Margaret Thatcher Peter Harrington, London Purchased from the above by the present owner In Spring of 1982 the artist Jonathan Warrender was invited by Margaret Thatcher to lunch at the Prime Minister's country retreat, Chequers, located in Buckinghamshire. Conflict had begun just a few weeks earlier between Argentina and the United Kingdom in the Falklands which lasted for 74 days ending on 14 June, the war cabinet for which was sternly led by the 'Iron Lady' herself. It was during these tumultuous times that Warrender was to meet Thatcher.Thatcher had admired a painting by Warrender hanging in close friend Lord Hector Laing's Dunphail residence and he suggested that he would like to gift Thatcher a painting of Chequers for her personal collection. Warrender spent his childhood in Somerset amongst the undulating Mendip hills, captivated by the vast landscape and the patterns that sprawled across the pastures. In 1966, his family moved to Scotland where he resides today with his wife and children in Ayrshire. Warrender studied at Camberwell School of Art but he found it difficult to find his path during a period when abstraction was all the rage. He focused on his meticulous eye for detail and fascination with perspective. After studying at Camberwell School of Art, Warrender was introduced to a circle of Sotheby's clients by a dear friend and fellow artist Andrew Festing. He used his skill in producing infinite detail to create copies for these clients who were looking to sell important works of art. In 1980 Sir Iain Tennant commissioned Warrender to paint his residence in Morayshire, Innes House. This event catapulted his career working on commissions in both the UK and abroad. Warrender's style became extremely recognisable as he used a 'bird's eye view' perspective to depict the estates and their landscapes. His attention to detail is mesmerising capturing the texture of every brick and the light catching every blade of grass. On Saturday 17th April 1982, Warrender found himself in the back of Lord Laing's Bentley whirling through the country lanes to Chequers, to attend lunch with Margaret Thatcher. The surreal commission commenced. Warrender recalls arriving at the house and being immediately struck by the gardens and landscape surrounding the iconic house. 'Bluebells were getting ready to chime in the woods and the leafy buds on the lime trees in the Park were the size of [a] mouse's ear.' Jonathan Warrender Memoir, February 2013, Archive Thatcher MSSThe artist recollects the intimate setting, sat closely together on a round table with Thatcher, her husband Denis, Lord Laing and his wife Marion. 'As we sat down I remember having to overcome a hot moment of panic due to my extreme proximity to the Prime Minister.' Jonathan Warrender Memoir February 2013, Archive Thatcher MSSAfter lunch Thatcher invited Warrender to accompany her in the gardens to locate a view from which to paint the house. They settled on a viewpoint under a tulip tree just opposite the front door. As the whirlwind afternoon drew to a close Warrender remembers Thatcher proclaiming 'And now I must see what is happening in those bloody islands.' Jonathan Warrender Memoir February 2013, Archive Thatcher MSS Warrender started in the May and spent three weeks painting at Chequers which was coming to life as the summer months took hold. 'What an irony it was for me, that at the same time as Mrs Thatcher handed the historians a pen, she handed me a brush.' Jonathan Warrender Memoir February 2013, Archive Thatcher MSSCondition Report: Not relined. Inspection under UV reveals some minor areas of flaring to the left edge and to details in the cloud however this is most likely brushwork added by the artist. In overall good original condition.
