4 [§] DAVID BOMBERG (BRITISH 1890-1957) PORTRAIT OF ANNIE LOU STAVELEY Signed and dated 1938, oil on canvas 66cm x 58.5cm (26in x 23in)

£3,000-5,000

Born in Birmingham in 1890 and brought up in Whitechapel, Bomberg was the son of Polish immigrants. Having displayed an innate early talent, he was sponsored by the Jewish Educational Aid Society to study at the Slade under Tonks, alongside the likes of Gertler and Stanley Spencer. In 1913 however, he was expelled from the Slade with the consensus of his teachers being that his style was too radical. Nevertheless, persisting in this vein, in the period immediately preceding the First World War, he painted a number of notable geometric semi-abstract paintings, becoming associated with Percy Wyndham Lewis’s Vorticist movement. Included in the ‘Cubist Room’ at the Camden Town group show in Brighton in 1913, the following year, Bomberg helped to organize the Whitechapel’s 20th Century Art show. A founding member of the London Group, he was invited to show at the 1915 Vorticist exhibition. His best known work of this period, The Mud Bath, is now in the Tate.

During the war Bomberg served on the Western Front and the experience had a long-standing effect upon his art. In 1919, with the slaughter he had witnessed in the first conflict of the ‘machine age’ compounded by his disappointment at the rejection of a design for a Canadian War Memorial, he disappeared from public life. Instead he travelled extensively, notably to Palestine from 1923-27 and also to Russia, Greece, Spain and Morocco.

From 1929 Bomberg abandoned semiabstraction and turned to an expressive figuration, using a muted palette and fluid brush strokes, to create deeply personal portraits and landscapes. The present work is an outstanding example of his work of the 1930s, during which period he perfected this new-found freedom. From 1945 to 1953, he taught at Borough Polytechnic in London and had an important influence on an emerging generation of young

artists, including Frank Auerbach and Leon Kossoff. With them and other students he formed the Borough Group, active from 1947 to 1949. Bomberg died in 1957 and remained for some years best known for his work of the Vorticist period. However, in 1988 he was rediscovered in a retrospective at the Tate and in the last few decades, he has come to be seen in his rightful position of an important pioneer of British postwar Expressionism.

Note: Born in Cardiff but raised in Glasgow, Evans studied at Glasgow School of Art and in 1930, exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy. In 1931, he was awarded the Haldane Travelling Scholarship and visited Berlin, Copenhagen and Paris. Later that year he won a free place at the Royal College of Art in London. In 1934 Evans became art master at Wilson’s Grammar School in Camberwell. From here, he made frequent trips to Paris where he met Mondrian, Kandinsky, Giacometti, Max Ernst and William Hayter. He also exhibited with the London Group and at the International Surrealist Exhibition during this period. Evans moved to South Africa to take up a teaching post in 1938 and enlisted in the Signals Corps in the South African Army in 1942. In 1946 he moved back to London where his artistic career developed. In 1949 he had his first one-man exhibition at the Leicester Galleries, where he exhibited in 1952, 1953 and 1955. In 1956 the Whitechapel Gallery held a retrospective of his work. He continued to exhibit regularly during the 1960s and in 1963 took a studio in St Ives for the summer, where he went annually thereafter. Evans took a post as the exchange artist in residence at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1967 which allowed him to visit New York. Here he met Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and Robert Motherwell. On his return to London, Marlborough Fine Art held a one-man exhibition for him entitled Events and Abstractions. The Welsh Arts Council commissioned a triptych of his aquatints the following year and in 1972 the Victoria and Albert Museum held an exhibition of his graphic work. This work relates to an oil painting of the same title which is held in the collection of Tate, UK. The oil is currently on loan to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and features in their current exhibition, A New Era: Scottish Modern Art, 1900-1950.

ERNST LUDWIG KIRCHNER Ernst Ludwig Kirchner was a leading member of the group of artists historically referred to as the German Expressionists. He began his studies in 1901 in Dresden, studying architecture for four years, before enrolling at a progressive art school in Munich. In 1905 Kirchner co-founded the Die Brücke (The Bridge) group, alongside Fritz Bleyl, Erich Heckel, and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, with Otto Müller, Emil Nolde, and Max Pechstein joining the group later on. In 1911, Kirchner moved with the Brücke group to Berlin. The following year Franz Marc included works by Brücke artists in the second show of the Blaue Reiter (the Blue Rider) at Heinrich Thannhauser’s Moderne Galerie in Munich, and a link between the two avant-garde groups was established. The groups both produced illustrated periodicals, and Kirchner’s skill as a graphic artist is especially apparent; as

important a feature in his practise as his painting. Feeling himself to be part of an established German tradition, Kirchner was inspired by the woodcuts of Albrecht Durer, and had produced his own prints since his early days in Munich (indeed Die Brucke are credited with the invention of the medium of the linocut). Japanese prints and the simplicity of African and Oceanic art were also of significant influence.

tailoring, or soliciting on the streets in their furs. The circus, as depicted in the work offered here for sale, was the perfect cipher for the chaotic undertones which were beginning to swirl. High and low class mingled together, and the vitality and energy of the human form was captured in his jagged, scratched markmaking. Our performer, a female acrobat, is trapped inside a claustrophobic ring of observers.

The move to Berlin proved to be pivotal in Kirchner’s work, providing the artist with ample inspiration. He felt (or perhaps sensed in the years which foreshadowed the First World War) that powerful, primal forces moved beneath the veneer of Western respectability, and this was no more apparent than in this newly wealthy, densely populated city. He walked frequently, sketching the passers by moving in and out of the department stores in their sharp

This dry point etching was produced in 1913 for Kirchner’s first major print exhibition at the Kunstverein Jena in 1914. The Kunstverein Jena was established in 1903, by archaeologist Botho Graef, Kirchner’s patron. It is exceedingly scarce; one of only three known examples. Further, it bears the inscription ‘Eigendruck’, translating roughly as ‘own print’, or artist’s proof. Also present are stamps from the Kunstverein Jena, and from the Galerie

Ferdinand Möller, a dealer in Modernist art throughout the 1930s-40s. This in itself was a treacherous practise as the Nazi regime had labelled the work of Modern and avant-garde artists ‘un-German’ and ‘degenerate’. This print’s Kunstverein Jena stamp is crossed out, signifying the etching’s de-accessioning at the orders of the Nazi party in 1937, the year they held their infamous Entartete Kunst (‘Degenerate Art’) exhibition in Munich. Though Kirchner enjoyed solo shows throughout the 1930s in Basel, Bern, Hamburg, Munich, Detroit, and New York, he never fully recovered from the mental and physical collapse which saw him discharged from the army during World War 1. Aghast at his inclusion in the 1937 Nazi organised exhibition of banned artwork, the artist committed suicide in 1938.

£8,000-12,000

HENRI MATISSE ‘What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or disturbing subject matter...like a comforting influence, a mental balm - something like a good armchair in which one rests from physical fatigue.’ Henri Matisse is generally considered one of the most important artists of the twentieth century, and a leading figure in modern art. He made prints throughout his career, starting working in lithography in 1906, and returning to it again and again. The offered work dates from a particularly productive period, when from 1922-25 Matisse created fifty lithographs,

mainly of women and decorative patterns. Artistically, Matisse viewed printmaking as an extension of drawing, and thus a direct expression of the artist’s thoughts. Formally, it was an opportunity to re-focus on line and composition. The painterly qualities of lithography particularly suited Matisse’s technique, and his interest in rich detail and texture. In fact, Matisse preferred a version of lithography called transfer lithography where instead of drawing directly onto the stone, the artist was able to utilise transfer-paper, drawing directly onto the paper, the image was

then transferred onto the stone and printed. This meant the image was not reversed and often the grain of paper was captured within the image. Seated Young Woman with a Bouquet of Flowers reflects Matisse’s key interests in print-making. The subject is a young woman, surrounded by decorative patterns. He creates a bold composition, by angling different patterns against each other. There are the expected visual patterns – the floral pattern in the sitter’s blouse, and on the vase, and the bold horizontal striping of the blinds behind her, but

these are juxtaposed with patterning created by the artist to add depth and texture, his graphic mark-making in the table surface and the distant sky. It has been suggested that even when working in monochromatic prints, Matisse’s works have the sense of being colourful. That is true here. We can easily imagine the bold colours that would feature in an oil painting version, especially in the bold patterning, yet the monochromatic simplicity allows Matisse’s compositional insight, and ability to manipulate the qualities of lithography, to really shine.

Winifred Nicholson is one of the best-loved British artists of the early twentieth century. Never tiring of her exploration of the genres of still life and landscape, Nicholson often hybridised the two. She developed what was to become a characteristic conceit – that of a still life arrangement on a window sill with an abruptly foreshortened view beyond. “I like painting flowers,” Nicholson once stated, “I have tried to paint many things in many different ways, but my paintbrush always gives a tremor of pleasure when I let it paint a flower … to me they are the secret of the cosmos.” This sincerity which underpins her paintings accounts for their endless ability to provide their audience with pleasure, but their gentle warmth should

not lead her admirers to underestimate her work. Nicholson deftly utilised Impressionist, Modernist, and Romantic tendencies to create a unique style and distinct touch which, though often bordering on the naïve, would be near impossible to imitate. This clear artistic voice was evident from an early stage and her technique, particularly the adoption of a muted palette, was to be hugely influential on her husband, the artist Ben Nicholson, though he was to eventually leave both the marriage and his early style behind upon meeting Barbara Hepworth in the 1930s. Her influence can also be traced in the works of contemporaries including Ivon Hitchens and Christopher Wood, with whom she was close. This keen eye and technical understanding

also came to bear in her relationships with prominent French Modernists of the period. Nahum Gabo, Jean Hélion, and Giacometti became friends, and Nicholson cannily purchased work by all of them. She was also the first British collector to buy a work by Mondrian, as well as accompanying the artist to Britain from Paris in 1938. From the late 1960s, Nicholson entered into the most experimental phase of her career. Colour and light had always been the driving force behind her artistic explorations, Nicholson once articulating in a letter to her daughter that “…all painting is to me painting of air and sky – that holds colours and light – not pictures of objects.” This became increasingly true and, as light and colour is broken

down into its purest form within a prism, her work became more pared back and abstracted. This work, Awake, painted in 1973, exemplifies this stage of her development. The title and the artwork are inseparably intertwined: the hazy colour palette and loose, textured daubs of brushwork successfully evoking the thin light of the early morning, and our own instinctive response to it. This work came from the artist’s family’s own collection, before being exhibited at the prestigious Crane Kalman Gallery.

(BRITISH B.1937) PAPER POOLS Signed and dated ‘80 and numbered 524-1000 in pencil, published by Tyler Graphics, Ltd., Mount Kisco, New York, bears blindstamp, on Arches Cover paper, lithograph; Together with ‘Paper Pools’, the accompanying book, signed by the artist in red ink and stamp numbered 524 on the justification, with blue canvas covers and original slipcase 27cm x 23cm (9in x 10.25in)

Think of David Hockney, and immediately picture the sunshine-soaked, boldly-hued scenes of California homes and swimming pools that he is widely known for. After formative years spent in comparatively dreary Yorkshire, Hockney was immediately captivated by the bold colours and widespread luxury of Los Angeles. Private swimming pools were an extravagance in the U.K., but in the City of Angels, Hockney found them everywhere: he had discovered a subject. Paper Pools is a book chronicling a very specific moment in Hockney’s creative process, a short period in 1978 when en route to California from England, he made a detour to Tyler Graphics studios in upstate New York, to visit friend and previous collaborator Kenneth Tyler. Here he was introduced to a new medium, the paper pulp process. This involved dyeing wet pulped rags, which were applied in various ways to recentlycreated and still wet

paper, until they were finally fully pressed and dried; there were opportunities for the artist to manipulate the application of colour at all stages. The result was a cross between papermaking, print-making and painting. Hockney found learning this new technique and its specific restrictions, creatively freeing. He realised the process could be very conducive to variations on a theme, and the swimming pool and the effects of different lights and movements on the water was captivating him once again – as he swam in and looked at Tyler’s outdoor pool each day. In the resulting series, Paper Pools, Hockney creatively addresses a formal, and paradoxical problem: how to depict the elusive, ever-changing qualities of a body of water, in a flat, stationary two-dimensional form. There is something conceptually satisfying in such a water-heavy process being used to attempt this. In these works, colour

does not sit; it is fused, completely integrated into the medium. Water is the same; light and movement are subsumed into it, and thus its appearance and qualities change. The beautiful book fully illustrates this process, with a reflective text written by Hockney and accompanied by various illustrations – reference polariods he took of the swimming pool in different lights, line drawings capturing the physical process, reproductions of each work in the series as well as some in-process photographs; of the works still at the wet pulp stage before they were pressed. There is a vivid sense of the finished product, but also of the process that went into it: physical effort, litres of water, eclectic equipment, artistic imagination and a strong

feeling of camaraderie. To celebrate the publication of the work, Hockney produced a six-colour, hand-drawn lithograph, which he has signed and numbered. It revives his favoured subject, boldly depicting the swimming pool and diving board in strong colours. The gently rippling water is depicted with surface watery, wavy marks, overlaying the deeper, overlapping shadows – there is depth and movement, as Hockney manipulates different effects of lithographic mark-making. Paper Pools is a celebration of the artistic innovation and imagination of a very particular moment in Hockney’s career, but also an encapsulation of some of the key themes and subjects of his wider oeuvre.

87 [§] EILEEN AGAR R.A. (ARGENTINIAN-BRITISH 1899-1991) APOLLO Signed, oil on canvas 40cm x 29cm (15.75in x 11.5in) Provenance: Collection of the Co-op Bank, Manchester; Private collection, England

£2,000-4,000

Born in Buenos Aires in 1899 to a Scottish businessman father and an American mother, Agar moved to London in 1911. After a time with Leon Underwood she enrolled part time at the Slade under Henry Tonks. From 1925 she travelled in Europe extensively; to Paris, Spain and Italy. Renting a villa in Portofino, Agar visited Rapallo where she met W.B. Yeats, Osbert Sitwell, Max Beerbohm and most significantly, Ezra Pound. Keen to free herself from traditional English art, Agar moved to Paris in 1928. Here, Pound introduced her to Brancusi and, at an art gallery reception, she met André Breton and Paul Eluard. She had by now begun to paint in a different, two-dimensional, strongly Cubist style and, returning to London in 1930, was persuaded by Henry Moore to show with the London Group. She had also begun to experiment with collage and, under the influence of Paul Nash and Julian Trevelyan, began to focus on natural forms and to create objects. In 1936, on Nash’s suggestion, Roland Penrose and Herbert Read chose to include her in the International Surrealist Exhibition and although she had not considered herself part of the movement she was happy to be counted within its ranks – the only British woman to feature in the show. She shared the Surrealists’ interest in automatic techniques and the use of unexpected materials and photographs.

Agar now suddenly began to enjoy a higher profile within the international art world. A holiday in 1937 was spent in both Cornwall and France with Penrose, Lee Miller, Eluard and her idol Picasso, (with Agar and Penrose having a prolonged affair). It seems probable that this work dates from the late 1950s or early 1960s. It bears strong similarities to the part-automatist painting Head of Dylan Thomas of 1960-2 and might have been produced in the same period as the 1956 oil on canvas Maenad, which shares the same dimensions and which was shown

in the National Galleries of Scotland retrospective in 1999. Her technique at this time, to drip and pour paint from a height on to the canvas, was as close as Agar came to Abstract Expressionism. Throughout the 1960s and into the following decades, she continued to move forward, experimenting with acrylics and constantly challenging herself. Agar was given a retrospective exhibition in London in 1971 and ten years later a show of her recent work at the New Art Centre. She died in London in 1991, at the age of 91.

An acclaimed illustrator, painter and playwright, John Byrne is one of Scotland’s most diverse and accomplished artists. Byrne was born in 1940 in Paisley, and attended the Glasgow School of Art from 1958 to 1963. There he quickly excelled and was awarded the Bellahouston Award, the school’s most prestigious painting prize. Byrne is also known for writing the award-winning television series Tutti Fruitti and the theatrical trilogy The Slab Boys. Other notable achievements include

his album cover designs for The Beatles, Gerry Rafferty and Billy Connolly. His work appears in several collections both in Scotland and abroad, including the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh and Kelvingrove Art Gallery. In 2007 Byrne was made a full member of the Royal Scottish Academy and is also an Honorary Fellow of the Glasgow School of Art. Byrne’s debut play, Writer’s Cramp, was one of the most successful and popular shows at

the Edinburgh Fringe in 1977. Described as a satirical vision of the whole panorama of British postwar culture, the play follows the ill-fated career of the Scottish writer F.S. McDade, from his boarding school experience through to World War II and various publishing misfortunes. In this watercolour, Writer’s Cramp, Byrne reflects the satirical nature of the play through the protagonist’s exaggerated features and the setting. Surrounded by a cluster of books,

letters and cigarettes he appears to be deep in thought rather than at work. However, his sinister grin suggests that he has just arrived at an idea, leaving the viewer to speculate as to its nature. Byrne’s success rests on his distinctive style and thought-provoking work, inviting the viewer to engage with the narrative. The work is thought to be one of the few surviving pieces that were exhibited at the Glasgow Print Studio in the 1990’s.

ALAN DAVIE Alan Davie was born in Grangemouth, Scotland in 1920. His father was a schoolmaster and amateur painter and Alan studied at Edinburgh College of Art in the late 1930s. Jazz had always played an important part in his life and having served with the army in WWII, in 1947 Davie worked as a full time jazz saxophonist and at the same time started to make jewellery, write poetry and design textiles. The following year, now married, he began to travel, visiting Venice, where he was intrigued by the work of Pollock and De Kooning, in the Guggenheim collection. Inspired to start painting again, Davie painted several pictures on rolls of cheap paper in his hotel room. Two were immediately bought by

Peggy Guggenheim, who also introduced him to London gallery Gimpel Fils. American abstract expressionism, married with an interest in African art and the influence of Picasso and Klee, formed the roots of Davie’s work throughout the 1950s. From the mid fifties an interest in Zen Buddhism and oriental mysticism added further nuances, along with further exposure to the Americans at the time of his first show in New York in 1956. Largely ignored at this time in his homeland, Davie began to sell overseas and finally elevated from poverty, bought a house in Cornwall where he mingled with a number of St Ives artists.

From the 1960s Davie maintained that his work, despite its appearance, was not abstract but consisted of emotive common symbols, which spoke directly to the viewer. His role, he insisted was that of a ‘shaman’, acting as a link between the viewer and the intractable. Taking his cue from the Surrealists, his method was an essentially spontaneous, almost automatic, attempt to unlock the unconscious. Davie’s work contains numerous overlapping references to magic, religion and primitive art, in particularly that of the Navajo, Carib, Australian Aborigine, ancient Egyptian, Celt and Pict. This very late painting, Insignias for the Little White Horse, is typical of his mature work.

Against a monochrome blue ground, itself suggestive of the spiritual, animals and objects float suspended. Among these, the white horse of the title, the bird and the snake, all resonate with ancient significance in tribal art. While it is tempting to interpret the central motif as an open mouth, as ever with Davie, the moment that one attempts to decipher his hieroglyphs, multiple other meanings become evident. In his later years Davie received many plaudits. His CBE in 1972 was followed by retrospectives in London and New York in 1993, Chicago in 1994 and Edinburgh in 2000 and a major show at Tate Britain in April 2014, the month of his death.

THE NEW GLASGOW BOYS The New Glasgow Boys were an influential group of artists who studied at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1980’s. The group has been praised for achieving national and international success and renewing an interest in figurative painting during a period when Western art was dominated by Abstract Expressionism, Conceptual and Pop Art. Their paintings are honest and powerful. 2017 marked the 30th anniversary of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art’s ground breaking exhibition The Vigorous Imagination: New Scottish Art. The exhibition showcased the work of the New Glasgow Boys including Peter Howson, Ken Currie, and Steven Campbell.

KEN CURRIE Born in 1960 Ken Currie is a Scottish artist and was one of the New Glasgow Boys along with his contemporaries Peter Howson, Adrian Wisniewski and Steven Campbell. Graduating from the Glasgow School of Art in 1983, his work has appeared in several public collections including

the Tate Modern in London, the National Galleries of Scotland and abroad. In 2013 Currie held a solo show at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. His paintings are documents of the human body and the effects of time, greed and injury. Signs and Symptoms 19956 is a confrontational and powerful work.

The figure is painted with a ghostly luminosity which is heightened by the stark dark background. Currie is highly aware of and influenced by the tradition of Western art, drawing inspiration from a variety of artists including Goya and Velazquez. Similarly to Francis Bacon, he is

fascinated by the human face as a mechanism of expressing trauma, pain and powerful psychological expression. Currie’s masterful portrait is a dramatic piece that draws the viewer in with its thought provoking qualities.

PETER HOWSON Peter Howson is one of Scotland’s most celebrated artists. Howson was born in London in 1958 and moved to Scotland as a young child. He studied at the Glasgow School of Art from 1975-77 and completed his master’s degree in 1979. Howson became a leading member of the New Glasgow Boys, a generation of young Scottish artists that responded to the dominance of abstract, conceptual and pop art. He is known for his dramatic insight into

the human condition and in particular his distinctive depictions of the male form. He draws inspiration from his turbulent upbringing and his experience recording the conflicts in Bosnia and former Yugoslavia. His work features in several public collections including the Victoria & Albert Museum, Tate, the National Galleries of Scotland and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Other than appearing in a number of prestigious galleries, his work is also popular amongst celebrities such

as David Bowie, Sylvester Stallone and Madonna. In 2009 Howson was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire for services to the visual arts. Tender Touch was painted during a crucial moment in his rise to fame. Between 19851993 Howson had over twenty solo exhibitions around the world, marking his intense and successful artistic output. The painting depicts Howson’s characteristically monumental figures set against a rural

backdrop. During his childhood Howson often sought an escape from his troublesome life in the calming beaches and sea in the Ayrshire coast. Thus, the coastline becomes a reoccurring feature in his work and one imbued with great personal significance. Howson uses a dark palette to depict the evening scene, creating a sombre and eerie atmosphere which is heightened by the ambiguity of the figure’s intentions.

191 [§] STEPHEN CONROY (SCOTTISH B.1964) STUDY FOR ‘FIGURE STUDY’ Signed and dated 2011 verso, oil on board 102cm x 102cm (40in x 40in)

£7,000-10,000

STEPHEN CONROY Stephen Conroy is a Scottish painter and leading member of the New Glasgow Boys. Born in 1964, Conroy studied at the Glasgow School of Art between 198287. He quickly gained recognition and achieved considerable success before beginning his post graduate study. In 1986 his degree show sold out and he also won the

first prize for painting at the Royal Academy’s British Institute Fund Awards. Conroy was the youngest artist included in the notable Vigorous Imagination exhibition Edinburgh in 1987. Two years later he held a solo exhibition at Marlborough Fine Art in London. His work is included in a number of collections around Britain

and abroad, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the National Portrait Galleries in London and Edinburgh. Study for ‘Figure Study’ is a compelling and absorbing portrait. Conroy’s isolated figure, set against a stark background, echoes the work of Francis

Bacon and Lucian Freud. However, Conroy diverges from their fleshy and raw style, making it his own. Conroy’s portrait confronts and reinterprets the history of European portraiture through his focus on the single isolated figure and simple yet thoughtprovoking narrative.

BUYERS The Auctioneer carries on business with bidders, Buyers and all those present in the auction room prior to, or in connection with, a sale on the following General Conditions and on such other terms, conditions and notices as may be referred to herein. 1. DEFINITIONS In these Conditions of Sale (Buyers): “Auctioneer” means Lyon & Turnbull Ltd (Registered in Scotland No: 191166 | Registered address: 33 Broughton Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3RR) or its authorised auctioneer, as appropriate; “Hammer price” means the level of bidding reached (at or above any reserve) when the Auctioneer brings down the hammer; “Lot” means each Item offered for sale by Lyon & Turnbull; “Purchase Price” is the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer’s Premium; “Reserve” means the lowest price below which an item cannot be sold; “Total amount due” means the hammer price in respect of the lot sold together with any premium, Value Added Tax or other taxes chargeable and any additional charges payable by a defaulting Buyer under these Conditions; “You”, “Your” means the Buyer; “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon &

Turnbull Ltd The singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. 2. AGENCY Lyon & Turnbull acts as agent solely for and in the interests of the Seller. We do not act for Buyers in this role and does not give advice to Buyers. When Lyon & Turnbull make a statement about a lot it is doing so on behalf of the Seller of the lot. The Auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by Sellers or Buyers. 3. BIDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER (a) Bidders are required to register their particulars before bidding and to satisfy any security and credit references or arrangements before entering the auction room to view or bid; (b) High Value Lots and High Cumulative Value of Lots: If you wish to bid on any High Value Lot (a lot with a lower estimate of £30,000 or above) or if you are bidding on several lots with a total lower estimate value of £30,000 or above, you are invited to complete the High Value Lot pre-registration. After you have successfully registered as a bidder with Lyon & Turnbull, you should complete the High Value Lot pre-registration before the date of sale by contacting the Office Manager or on the date of sale at the registration area. Unless otherwise agreed by us, you will be permitted to bid for High Value Lots only if Lyon & Turnbull has confirmed your payment of deposit and your completion of the High Value Lot pre-registration before the sale. The Deposit required will be 10% of the lower estimate. Upon pre-registration, you should pay the deposit or such other sum as determined by Lyon & Turnbull dependant on circumstances, by way of bank transfer or credit card(s) acceptable to Lyon & Turnbull. Please note that Lyon & Turnbull does not accept payment from third parties and this also applies to agents. If you are not successful in any bid and do not owe Lyon & Turnbull any debt, the deposit will be refunded to you by way of wire transfer or such other methods as determined by Lyon & Turnbull. Please make sure that you provide your bank details in the pre-registration form. The exchange rate provided to us by the bank on the date of exchange is final. We will arrange to refund the deposit to you within seven days after the date of sale, however we do not guarantee when you will receive the payment due to the variance in time for banks to process fund transfers. Upon successful pre-registration, you will be given a numbered High Value Lot paddle for identification purposes. The auctioneer will usually only accept bids made with the High Value Lot paddle or by its High Value Lot registered bidder. This applies to saleroom, telephone and

Lyon & Turnbull

absentee bids. Lyon & Turnbull has the right to change the High Value Lot pre-registration procedures and requirements from time to time without notice. (c) The maker of the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the Buyer and any dispute shall be settled at the Auctioneer’s absolute discretion. (d) Once made, no bid may be withdrawn. (e) Our right to bid on behalf of Sellers is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve. (f) The right to refuse any bid is also reserved. (g) Commission Bids: While prospective Buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall, if so instructed, clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor our employees nor agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. (h) Telephone Bids: If a prospective Buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in bidding by telephone. We do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connections. (h) Online Bidding: We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the internet or software malfunctions related to execution of online bids/ live bidding. 4. INCREMENTS Bidding increments shall be at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion. 5. THE PURCHASE PRICE For each lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 25% of the hammer price of each lot up to and including £100,000, plus 20% from £100,001 thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer’s Premium. No VAT is payable on the hammer price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction. Live online bidding is subject to an additional 3% premium (charged by the live bidding service provider Invaluable). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above. 6. VALUE ADDED TAX Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant lots. (1) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added

Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme. (2) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a lot has been imported from outwith the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items. (3) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwith the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above. 7. DROIT de SUITE This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the Buyer’s premium. It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk. 8. PAYMENT (1) Within 7 days of a lot being sold you will: (a) Pay to us the total amount due in cash or by such other method as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), debit cards and Visa or MasterCard credit cards.

expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than 7 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment whichever is later. We can provide you with a list of shippers. However, we will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers whether or not recommended by us. (3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for. (4) It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main sale room and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time. (5) Export of goods: Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character, e.g. items that may contain prohibited materials such as ivory or rhino horn. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence or any delay in obtaining licences shall neither justify the recession of any sale not any delay in making full payment for the lot. 10. REMEDIES FOR NON·PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES (1) If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the Sellers and on their behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the contract for sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to you; (c) to resell the lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs).

(h) to apply any proceeds of sale of other lots due or which become due to you towards the settlement of the total amount due by you and to exercise a lien over any of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt due is satisfied. 11. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the lot. (2) Condition reports: Condition reports are provided on our website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavor to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or Lyon & Turnbull and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and you are strongly advised to examine any lot in which you are interested prior to the sale. Our condition reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our condition report does not form any contract between Lyon & Turnbull and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Seller’s obligations in any way. (3) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon. (4) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions

Lyon & Turnbull provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item. (7) Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, Paintings, Guns, Firearms etc.) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. 12. BOOKS, CLOCKS & WATCHES (1) Books-Collation: If on collation any NAMED item in the sale catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings NOR in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text NOR in respect of Defects mentioned in the catalogue, or at the time of sale, NOR in respect of lots sold for less than £300. (2) Clocks & Watches: All lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. Furthermore, Lyon & Turnbull makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that Lyon & Turnbull cannot guarantee a watch

GENERAL (a) We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person. (b) Any notice to any Buyer, Seller, bidder or viewer may be given by email if not available then first class mail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting.

AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE Lyon & Turnbull guarantees that the authorship, period, or origin (collectively, “Authorship”) of each lot in this catalogue is as stated in the BOLD or CAPITALISED type heading in the catalogue description of the lot, as amended by oral or written salesroom notes or announcements. Lyon & Turnbull makes no warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to any material in the catalogue other than that appearing in the Bold or Capitalised heading and subject to the exclusions below. In the event Lyon & Turnbull in its reasonable opinion deems that the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall refund to the original purchaser of the lot the hammer price and applicable Buyer’s Premium paid for the lot by the original purchaser. This Guarantee does not apply if: (i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the opinion(s) of generally accepted scholar(s) and expert(s) at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or (ii) the only method of establishing that the Authorship was not as described in the Bold or Capitalised heading at the date of the sale would have been by means or processes not then generally available or accepted; unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely (in Lyon &Turnbull’s reasonable opinion) to have caused damage to the lot or likely to have caused loss of value to the lot; or (iii) there has been no material loss in value of the lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description in the Bold or Capitalised type heading.

Lyon & Turnbull may require the original purchaser of the lot to obtain, at the original purchaser of lot’s cost, the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field. The reports must be mutually acceptable to Lyon & Turnbull and the original purchaser of the lot. Lyon & Turnbull shall not be bound by any reports produced by the original purchaser of the lot, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid (the successful hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law.
