René Vincent was a French illustrator renowned for his Art Deco aesthetic and poster designs. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he specialised in graphic design. Vincent began his career illustrating for French magazines before working for American publications including Harper’s Bazaar and The Saturday Evening Post.
In the United States, his work focused primarily on fashion illustration; however, upon returning to France, he developed a successful career in advertising, producing celebrated designs for companies such as Shell Oil, Peugeot, Bugatti, and Michelin. A passionate motoring enthusiast, Vincent excelled in his dynamic portrayals of automobiles and mechanical subjects.
This poster depicts a family stranded beside a brokendown car. The father reaches towards the Michelin Man to take a new tyre from his iconic body in order to repair the punctured wheel. The Michelin Man first appeared in 1894 at the Lyon Exhibition, inspired by a simple stack of tyres. The character was developed through a collaboration between the Michelin brothers and the French cartoonist Marius Rossillon, known as O’Galop. René Vincent’s depiction captures the grand and good-natured Michelin Man, complete with cigar, extending his hands and rescuing the family.

Silvie Turner 245
Julian Trevelyan, born in Surrey in 1910, spent the majority of his adult life residing beside the River Thames. At the age of 25, he bought his home and studio, Durham Wharf, located on Chiswick Mall. The river and its environs served as a perpetual source of inspiration for Trevelyan, who frequently produced various pictures of scenes along the West London stretch of the Thames.
Home Waters is a wonderful example of Trevelyan’s local inspiration. The print depicts Durham Wharf in the right foreground, as well as the notable Eyot and St. Nicholas’ Church further along the river. The sky is full of planes arriving and departing from Heathrow, and the river is a hub of activity with rowing and sailing boats as well as birds bobbing along. Trevelyan has even planted a portrait of himself in the foreground, proudly showing off his manor.
This print encapsulates the urban yet village-like atmosphere of riverside West London.

David Hockney began experimenting with a new method of image-making in 1986, through the use of a colour photocopier, transforming what was traditionally considered an office machine into an artistic medium.
Fascinated by both the possibilities and restrictions of the copier, Hockney embraced the machine’s limited workable sheet size and restricted colour palette of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.
Rather than creating a single completed image, Hockney produced separate drawings for each colour component before photocopying and layering them together into one final composition. This process closely parallels traditional multi-layer printmaking techniques such as screenprinting,
woodcut, and linocut. However, by using a photocopier rather than a printing press, Hockney modernised and simplified the process and granted himself a significant degree of artistic independence. He was able to create limitededition “home-made prints” without relying on a professional printer, studio, or traditional press.
As Hockney stated in David Hockney by Marco Livingstone:
“New technologies have started revolutions that need not frighten us, they can be humanized by artists. The office copier has opened up commercial printing as a direct artist’s medium.”
Still Life with Curtains is a particularly strong example of Hockney’s homemade prints. The photocopying process generates brilliant reds, greens, and blues while simultaneously preserving the rich, expressive texture of crayon and hand-drawn mark-making. The composition presents an engaging interior still life dominated by two voluptuous red curtains framing a square table, upon which sits a blue vase overflowing with green foliage and a single black flower.
Hockney deliberately manipulates perspective within the composition. The experimentation harks back to his ambitious 1984 Moving Focus series, here Hockney accommodates multiple viewpoints within a single image. The flattened table surface appears to tilt forward toward the viewer, while the curtains function both as framing devices and spatial barriers. This interaction between foreground and background creates a dynamic tension within the image, with the foliage visibly spilling over the ink of the enclosing curtains. The result is a composition that feels simultaneously decorative and theatrical, reflecting Hockney’s continual interest in perception, stage design, and the construction of pictorial space.
Ultimately, Still Life with Curtains represents a pivotal moment within Hockney’s artistic practice, where traditional draftsmanship and emerging technology intersect. Through his inventive use of the photocopier, Hockney redefined the possibilities of printmaking and demonstrated how contemporary technology could become an expressive artistic tool.
David Hockney: Fax Prints
David Hockney began experimenting with photocopiers in the mid-1980s as a means of creating art with new technology. His subsequent exploration of the fax machine developed naturally from these investigations. Rather than using the technology simply to transmit existing artworks, Hockney began creating works specifically intended to be sent by fax, recognising the radically new form of imagemaking and distribution.
The medium suited Hockney’s temperament and working methods. The immediacy of the fax process allowed him to work rapidly and experimentally, while also enabling him to circulate artworks democratically among friends and collaborators internationally. Unlike traditional printmaking and painting processes, where variation in pigment application often produces subtle differences between impressions, the fax machine offered a precise and accurate image.
In 1989, Hockney was invited to participate in the 1989 São Paulo Biennale. Initially intending to exhibit paintings, he encountered an unexpected logistical obstacle. Following the major exhibition David Hockney: A Retrospective at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, collectors proved reluctant to lend works. Rather than
viewing this as a limitation, Hockney saw an opportunity to exhibit his technological experiments and solidify the fax medium alongside paintings and sculpture by his contemporaries.
He constructed a scale model of the exhibition space in California so that each fax work could be designed precisely for the gallery. The resulting series, comprising more than thirty works, was produced specifically for São Paulo and represented the artist’s first major exhibition devoted entirely to fax-generated imagery. Ironically, despite Hockney’s enthusiasm for the international communicative possibilities of the medium, the Brazilian telephone infrastructure could not reliably receive the volume and quality of transmissions he required. In the end, the works were faxed from one room to another in California, then physically shipped to Brazil, where they were assembled and installed by curator Henry Geldzahler.
The following five lots are the original Faxes displayed in São Paulo, the various compositions each as recognisable and compelling as his traditional mediums. These works demonstrated Hockney’s ability to pioneer new artistic territory through technology.

David Hockney has long explored still life as a means of personal expression, with flowers playing a particularly important role in his work. Sunflowers became especially resonant for Hockney in the 1990s, when he returned to drawing after a period focused on photography. The vibrant colour and sharply angled forms of the sunflower helped reconnect Hockney with one of his most favoured subjects.
Sunflowers embody the transience of life, and this etching captures that theme through the heavy blooming heads of the flowers. The rich leaves and left blossom droop slightly, reflecting the flowers’ sun-seeking nature. Hockney’s use of rich aquatint in the stems and leaves evokes dense foliage, reinforcing their sturdiness and sense of weight. The etching also employs intricate cross-hatching, adding depth and complexity to the composition.

Bridget Riley’s Rose Horizontal is representative of the artist’s long-standing exploration of stripes, a motif that first emerged in her work in 1971 and has remained central to her practice. Through the repeated use of vertical and horizontal lines, Riley investigates the relationships between colour, rhythm, movement, and visual perception.
Although Riley is often associated with Op Art due to the optical effects within her compositions, her work extends beyond simple illusion. Rather than deceiving the eye, Riley’s works examine how colour and shape are perceived and how they function spatially. She eliminates all forms of representation, reducing visual language to its most essential elements: line, shape, and colour. In the stripe works particularly, Riley removes all unnecessary imagery, allowing the repeated bands to become a framework through which she can explore the complexity and variability of colour relationships.
In Rose Horizontal, as suggested by the title, Riley focuses on warm hues of peach, pink, and orange, creating an atmosphere of softness and warmth. These tones are interrupted by delicate yet striking flashes of light blue and zinging green, producing moments of sharp visual contrast. As the viewer’s eye travels down the horizontal bands, each adjacent colour alters the perception of the next. A single peach tone, for example, appears to shift in intensity depending on whether it is placed beside a vivid green or a muted orange. Riley therefore demonstrates how colour is never fixed, but constantly transformed through context and interaction.
Rose Horizontal is unusual in its horizontal form, most often we see Riley reflect the human eye’s propensity to read works left to right. Here we are challenged by reading a single band horizontally and instead the bottom to top bends and shifts lengthening and shortening our experience of the visual field.
The repetitive structure of the stripes encourages sustained visual engagement. Because the composition is built from a seemingly monotonous form, the viewer becomes increasingly aware of subtle chromatic variations and rhythmic shifts across the surface. The work appears to shimmer and pulse as the eye traverses the painting, creating a sense of movement and instability despite the strict geometric order of the composition.

The Grin Reaper is one of Banksy’s earliest and most recognisable images. The motif first appeared as street art in East London in the early 2000s. In this screenprint, Banksy subverts the traditionally haunting figure of death by replacing the skull with an acid-house smiley face. Perched on a clock face, the grinning Reaper counts down towards midnight, waiting to carry out his inevitable duty.
The smiley face leads the viewer in several directions: it references the midnight trips and brushes with death often associated with rave and drug culture, while its unsettling grin creates a stark contrast with the concept of death itself. The image has appeared in a variety of colourways and iterations over the years. This proof comes from the archive of Steve Lazarides, Banksy’s former photographer and manager.

Dimensions: plate 15 x 12cm
£300 - 500
Tom Hammick is best known for his atmospheric reduction woodcuts and etchings. He combines bold colour, layered texture, and dramatic light to create psychologically charged landscapes.
Hammick explained that he prefers working from a single plate or block rather than using multiple plates for layered printing, as this preserves what he described as the “life force running through the picture.” His technique is rooted in the reduction woodcut process, where a single block is repeatedly carved and printed in stages, each cut permanently removing parts of the image. This irreversible method gives his prints a sense of immediacy and tension. Hammick places an enormous amount of attention on every area of the composition, describing individual sections of the image as mini-woodcuts in themselves, with smaller elements often inked separately by hand to achieve subtle tonal differences, pattern and intricate detail.
Hammick also emphasised the physical and unpredictable qualities of printmaking, stating that “the lovely thing about print is that you are relying on the integrity of the material, it has a magic about it, whether copper or wood.” For him, the process is collaborative not only with the material itself but also with the printing press, which he described as having an active role in image-making. He remarked that the press can be naughty, introducing unintended changes into the print. Rather than resisting these imperfections, Hammick embraces them, explaining that “you get used to it and it’s freeing as things happen you don’t expect.”
This embracing of a complex medium imbues the works with a glow and vibrancy, where he creates rich textures, multi-tonal inks and unique finishes which are complex, engaging and showcase the technical peak of printmaking.

Any representation in any catalogue or otherwise as to the origin, date, age, attribution, authenticity or estimated selling price of any lot is a statement of opinion only. Such statements do not constitute a representation warranty or assumption of liability by CA Ltd in relation to the Lot. Any prospective Buyer should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the reliability of the catalogue description.
The absence of mention related to prior restorations in the catalogue descriptions does not imply that the good is exempt thereof.
Photographs of any Lot provided by CA Ltd are for indicative purposes only and are not deemed to be a precise representation of the said Lot.
The Buyer is advised to seek independent expert advice in order to be assured of the authenticity and true state of the good.

4.11
Cultural Goods import and export restrictions
Cultural goods may be subject to import and export restrictions. Under EU Regulations related to the trade of cultural goods, export licences may be required for export outside of the European Union if the item’s value exceeds the EU threshold. Under UK Law, a licence may also be required for intra-EU trade.
Licenses are issued by Arts Council England and it is the Buyer’s duty to obtain them. Some countries restrict the import of specific cultural goods. For example, the United States prohibits the import of pre-Columbian monumental or architectural sculpture or murals, as well as any cultural goods in provenance from some countries subject to armed conflicts.
The Buyer must verify local legislation prior to the sale in order to be assured that import or export is possible.
4.12 CITES
Import and export restrictions
Certain endangered species are listed in the CITES Convention. Listed specimens and any parts or products thereof are subject to issuance of an export permit when leaving the European Union.
Appendix I species, are also subject to issuance of a prior import permit from the country in which the goods are to be imported. Such permits are necessary before applying for export permits and it is the Buyer’s duty to initiate the proceedings with the relevant authority.
The Buyer must be aware that certain countries prohibit the import of some species or any parts or products derived thereof. For example, the United States prohibit all import of African elephant ivory, and any item containing parts that may merely resemble African elephant ivory must be accompanied by relevant documentation stating it is not the latter.
Worked items that are dated before 1947 are exempt from import restrictions for intra-EU trade and shall not require export licences.
Please be aware that all Lots marked with the symbol λ are subject to CITES regulations.
4.13 Limitation of liability regarding CITES export licenses
Where licences are required for importing or exporting outside of the European Union, it is the Buyer’s duty to obtain them.
CA Ltd cannot be held responsible if the Buyer’s application for an export permit is unsuccessful. Subsequently, in the event of failure thereof, CA Ltd shall not permit cancellation or rescission of the sale.
4.14 Warranties
CA Ltd does not provide the Buyer with warranties relating to any Lot, unless required by Law.
4.15 Authenticity warranty
In the event of a Lot being sold as authentic under the catalogue description and the Buyer provides evidence in the form of a written report by a recognised expert or test results that the said Lot is not authentic, CA Ltd will refund the purchase price.
The Buyer shall give notice to CA Ltd within 28 days from knowledge or any event giving reasons for suspecting that the item is not authentic, and within one year of the said sale. Any claim thereafter shall not be receivable. For the purposes of the present paragraph, authenticity shall be defined as the state of a Lot that is genuine and not a forgery or a copy.
5. ANTIQUITIES AND TRIBAL ART
5.1 Import and export restrictions and regulations
Archaeological goods over 100 years of age, unless covered by exemption of limited scientific interest, will require an EU Licence for export to a third country, regardless of their value. It is recommended that the Buyer contact the Export Licensing Unit at Arts Council England in order to be assured the good is or not of limited archaeological or scientific interest. Archaeological goods found on United-Kingdom soil or in UK territorial waters over 50 years of age shall require a UK Licence regardless of their value and regardless of the export destination. Other archaeological objects regardless of their origin will require an Individual Licence or OGEL depending on their value. Both European-Union and UK Licences may be required simultaneously for some items. It is the Buyer’s duty to undertake the necessary steps. CA Ltd cannot be held responsible and the sale cannot be cancelled in the event of failure to obtain the relevant licences.
6. JEWELLERY
6.1 Gemstone treatment and estimates
Many gemstones on the market have been treated so as to augment their appearance, in a reversible or
permanent manner. Treatments under the present section may be but not limited to:
• Heat treatment to enhance sapphires and rubies’ clarity and colour
• Oil and resin treatments for emeralds applied in different ways, to enhance clarity of the stone
• Staining
• Irradiation
• Coating
Estimates provided by CA Ltd are deemed to be based on the fact that the gemstone may have been subject to any type of treatment in the past. CA Ltd shall not be responsible in the absence of mention thereof.
A certificate may be issued by a laboratory, providing with detailed information on the condition of the gemstone and any treatment applied thereto. The Buyer must be aware that different laboratories have different approaches as to the degree or type of treatment for a particular gemstone.
If a certificate accompanies the Lot, the Buyer must be aware that it is merely a statement of the laboratory’s opinion and in no way can CA Ltd be held responsible for any mentions therein. Such certificates are deemed to be delivered with the Lot for informative purposes only.
6.2 Estimated weights
If a stone’s exact weight appears within the body of the description, the stone has been un-mounted and weighed by CA Ltd. If the weight of a stone is stated to be approximate, the stone has been assessed by CA Ltd within its setting, and the defined weight is a statement of opinion only. This information is given as a guide and bidders should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy.
6.3
Signatures
‘A diamond ring, by X’: When the maker’s name appears in the title, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion the piece is by that maker.
‘A diamond ring, signed X’: Has a signature that, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, is authentic but may contain gemstones that are not original, or the piece may have been altered.
‘A diamond ring, mounted by X’: Has been created by the jeweller, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, but using stones or designs supplied by the client.
‘Maker’s mark for X’: Has a maker’s mark which in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion is authentic.
Some items may include parts or products derived from endangered species, such as ivory or coral. Such items may be subject to import or export restrictions. See section on CITES regulations for more details.
7. CLOCKS AND WATCHES
All Lots are sold as seen. Clocks and watches are therefore not deemed to be sold in working condition. Absence of reference thereof in the description does not imply that the Lot is in good condition and without defects, or has been subject to repair or restoration.
CA Ltd makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary.
Most clocks and watches are likely to have been repaired in the past, and as a result may include parts that are not original thereto.
The United-States restrict the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller or Corum. Such models can only be imported personally by the Buyer and CA Ltd cannot assist with shipping thereof.
Some watches may include leather straps derived from endangered species. Buyers may be required to obtain appropriate permits for import or export purposes in accordance with CITES regulations.
CA Ltd acts in compliance with such legislations and shall take necessary steps where required. Subsequently, watches may be deemed sold without their straps.
8.1 Upholstered furniture after 1950
According to The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988, furniture that was upholstered after the 1st of January 1950 is subject to restrictions in the United-Kingdom. Exempt upholstered furniture that does not meet such requirements is deemed sold for purely aesthetic purposes. CA Ltd shall not be responsible for later alterations to the furniture, making it unfit for sale.
