Edward Wadsworth was born in 1889, Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, and raised in the industrial city of Bradford. With the expectation that he would eventually take over the family business, Wadsworth was sent to boarding school and later to Munich to study German and engineering. Throughout his education, he demonstrated a strong interest in art, and while in Munich he immersed himself in drawing and learning woodcut printing, a medium flourishing in the region.
Upon his return to England, Wadsworth declared his intention to pursue a career as an artist rather than enter the family mill. He enrolled at the Slade School of Art, studying alongside Stanley Spencer, C.R.W. Nevinson, and Dora Carrington. During this period, he developed a fascination with machinery, rooted in his industrial upbringing, a subject matter that proved particularly well suited to printmaking.
Wadsworth’s work increasingly aligned with Futurist and avant-garde ideas, and after forming a close friendship with Wyndham Lewis, he joined The Rebel Art Centre and became a key figure within the Vorticist movement.
In 1916 as imposed conscription came into force, Wadsworth enlisted in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. He was sent to Greece and stationed on the island of Lemnos, where he worked analysing aerial photographs. Riponelli: A Village in Lemnos was based on studies made during this period. The print exemplifies Wadsworth’s Vorticist style, transforming the Mediterranean village into a dynamic composition of precariously balanced houses arranged across hilly terrain. Sharp walls and angular windows collide and interlock, forming a dense configuration of geometric forms that convey both structure and instability.
In 1917, the same year this print was produced, Wadsworth was recalled to England to assist with the transfer of dazzle camouflage for the Navy. This technique used bold optical patterns to confuse enemy observers attempting to determine the type, speed, and direction of British ships. Between 1913 and 1921, he focused intensively on printmaking, producing approximately fifty woodcuts alongside a small number of lithographs and etchings. His prints are immediately recognisable for their strong tonal contrasts and vertigo-inducing manipulation of space and perspective.

Freud first encountered Leigh Bowery in 1988 at an opening at Anthony d’Offay Gallery, where Bowery was performing. The performance involved Bowery reclining on a chaise longue behind a two way mirror, primping and preening in a succession of costumes as visitors observed. The boldness of Bowery’s narcissistic world captivated gallery goers and critics alike, and Freud had found his model. Far from a conventional beauty, Freud became fascinated by Bowery’s unusual physique, the shape of his body, tone of his skin and his monumental presence.
Reclining Figure is an etching based on the composition of Freud’s 1993 painting Leigh on a Green Sofa. It is a work where the line between portrait and nude is blurred, the chosen constraints of the picture plane mean that nudity wasn’t strictly necessary, yet it was Freud’s preference - feeling that “the problem with painting a nude, of course, is that it deepens the transaction” between the artist and the sitter.
The Victoria & Albert Museum, London, hold nine trial prints of this composition, some with chalk markings and all can be viewed through accession numbers E.350-2020, E.351-2020, E.352-2020, E.353-2020, E.354-2020, E.355-2020, E.356-2020, E.357-2020, E.358-2020.

Pretty Tulips is a compelling example of David Hockney’s exceptional draughtsmanship and his ability to re-invigorate a traditional still-life subject through a distinctly modern lens. Not a pun or an ironic title, Hockney is earnest in his celebration of a beautiful, classical subject. The composition centres on a vibrant blue, patterned vase holding a bouquet of tulips rendered in subtle tones of pink and red. The assured line and sensitive use of colour give the flowers a distinctly Hockney feel, while the restrained palette allows the naturalist, delicate forms to remain the focus.
Flowers recur throughout Hockney’s oeuvre, serving as a continual source of inspiration and formal exploration. Flower studies are an integral part of the still life genre and Tulips in particular have held a fascination for the artist, not least because of their sensitivity to water and their expressive response once cut. As they sit in a vase, tulips characteristically droop and shift, their changing forms encapsulating the passage of time.
In Pretty Tulips, the dynamic nature of the composition is heightened by the variation in the tulips themselves, some blooms droop gracefully over the rim of the vase almost resting on the glass table below, while others stand upright, capturing both the physical dexterity of the flower and its natural cycle of growth and decline. Hockney embraces this transience, imbuing the work with a quiet poignancy that elevates the everyday subject into something contemplative and enduring. This gentle asymmetry introduces a sense of movement and temporality, transforming the still life into a quietly expressive meditation on change.
Below the vase, Hockney includes its reflection on the reflective tabletop, slightly warped and softened, accompanied by a subtle shadow. This mirrored element adds depth to the composition and demonstrates Hockney’s playful engagement with spatial perception and visual distortion. The lithograph is printed in six colours, a technical restraint that underscores his mastery of the medium and his ability to achieve richness and nuance through economical means.
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 contrast between two large sunflowers in full bloom against the surrounding ripening buds, set within dense foliage. Hockney’s use of rich aquatint in the stems and leaves of the flowers, set against the light grain of the wall and surface, emphasises their sturdiness and sense of weight.

This edition was released to coincide with a Warhol exhibition at Leo Castelli Gallery, New York, November 21- December 17 1964.
Andy Warhol’s Flowers are icons of the Pop Art movement and are among his most recognisable subjects. The original image was sourced from a 1964 issue of Modern Photography magazine. Warhol appropriated this commercial photograph and reworked it through printing in numerous colour combinations and iterations, exploring the mechanical reproduction of images within mass media culture.
While flower painting has a long art-historical tradition associated with beauty, symbolism, and transience, Warhol deliberately subverts this lineage. By employing industrial printing techniques and emphasising repetition and flatness, he removes the expressive hand of the artist and aligns the image with advertising and consumer culture. This approach reflects Pop Art’s broader engagement with popular imagery and its challenge to the hierarchy between “high” art and everyday visual culture.
Although flowers are traditionally associated with ephemerality and fragility, Warhol favours artificial, high-key colour- this example features vibrant peaches, pinks, and oranges that sing against an electric green ground, transforming the natural motif into a bold, decorative, and almost impersonal image. In doing so, Flowers encapsulates Warhol’s enduring interest in surface, seriality, and the tension between nature and the manufactured image.

Provenance presented within original box and packaging
Born in 1929, Yayoi Kusama is widely regarded as one of the most influential living artists. Working across sculpture, installation, performance, painting, and printmaking, her conceptual practice is profoundly informed by lifelong experiences of vivid hallucinations. From the age of ten, these hallucinations manifested as flashes of light and proliferating fields of dots across her visual field, motifs that would become central to her artistic vocabulary. These visions were described by the artist as all-consuming, giving rise to works structured around the concept of “self-obliteration,” in which the boundaries of the individual dissolve and the self is subsumed by an overwhelming visual stimulus.
Kusama is best known for her sculptural works and large-scale installations, particularly her Infinity Rooms. These immersive environments invite viewers into liminal spaces constructed through mirrors, repeated forms, and carefully choreographed spatial illusions that destabilise conventional perceptions of scale and orientation. Within these environments, visitors experience a disrupted field of vision and an engulfing sensory condition aligned with Kusama’s philosophy of self-obliteration.
Extending her practice beyond the traditional confines of the art world, Kusama has long engaged with commercial production as a site for artistic dissemination. Beginning in 1968 with the creation of avant-garde fashion
works for Bloomingdale’s, she later collaborated with major brands to design objects ranging from mobile phones and cosmetics to wearable accessories. In 2006, Kusama began working with Marc Jacobs, then Creative Director of Louis Vuitton, culminating in a collaborative collection released in 2012. The launch was marked by a polka-dot-covered pop-up store in SoHo, subsequently replicated across six international locations, inviting the public to inhabit, wear, and domesticate Kusama’s vision of infinity.
In 2023, Kusama once again collaborated with Louis Vuitton, producing a new body of work that includes the Vivienne Giant doll. The release was accompanied by a highly theatrical reimagining of the brand’s flagship stores, with buildings enveloped in polka dots, including London’s Harrods, and a monumental inflatable sculpture of the artist installed at the Paris flagship. This collaboration underscores Kusama’s enduring cultural prominence, while the Vivienne doll functions as both a commercial object and a symbolic figure, capturing not only her distinctive visual language but also the widespread public fascination with the artist herself. This interpretation of the Vivienne Doll reimagines the iconic mascot in Kusama’s likeness with her iconic red wig and body adorned with dots. Produced using high-quality materials, including the brand’s iconic Epi leather, the doll captures the artist’s aesthetic and embodies the brand’s collaboration with the doll even clutching a polkadot Alma bag at her side.

One of Damien Hirst’s first collaborations with HENI, The Currency also marked the artist’s first foray into NFTs. Exploring the idea of artwork as money, the project consists of 10,000 works that exist as either an NFT or a physical artwork. The works themselves reiterate Hirst’s iconic spot paintings: each Currency was hand-painted in enamel, making every piece unique while appearing visually uniform.
The project allowed collectors to acquire a small spot painting, works that are highly sought after and increasingly expensive on the secondary market. Conceived in 2016 and released in 2021, buyers initially received their artwork as an NFT and were given one year to decide whether to retain the NFT or exchange it for the physical painting. Whichever form was chosen, the other was destroyed.
The exchange period closed in July 2022, resulting in 4,851 collectors choosing to keep the NFT and 5,149 opting for the physical artwork. The ceremonial destruction became a dramatic spectacle, as Hirst personally burned almost half of the physical works at his Newport Street Gallery.
The Currency questions notions of value and authenticity in art, asking whether physical objects hold greater significance than their financial or digital counterparts. It remains one of Hirst’s most disruptive projects to date, probing the shifting boundaries between art and currency, examining when art becomes money, and when money becomes art.

1. BEFORE THE SALE
1.1 Agent for the seller
Unless otherwise agreed, Chiswick Auctions Ltd, hereafter referred to as CA LTD acts as agent for the seller. The contract for sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.
1.2 Definitions
For the purposes of the current Terms and Conditions, the Seller shall be defined as the owner of the Goods. It is implied that the Seller is the legitimate owner and is authorised to sell the Lot.
The Bidder is any registered person participating in the auction, and the Buyer is the successful Bidder for a particular Lot.
The Lot means the item(s) put up for sale by CA Ltd and to which the present Terms and Conditions apply.
1.3 Catalogue descriptions
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.
1.4 Inspection
Prior to auction, prospective purchasers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested to satisfy themselves in relation to matters which may concern them.
1.5
Condition report
CA Ltd may issue a Condition Report on request prior to the sale.
This Condition Report is for identification purposes only and cannot be considered as giving a precise account of the Lot’s true state. Thus, some imperfections and faults may not be accounted for in the Condition Report. As aforementioned, and in the absence of any contractual value of the Condition report, it is the Buyer’s sole duty to inspect in person the Lot in order to be assured of its true condition and CA Ltd shall not be responsible for assertions within the Condition Report hereto.

All electrical items are sold as seen and CA Ltd offers no guarantee as to the working condition of such items or their safety.

Estimates provided by CA Ltd cannot constitute a guarantee as to the value of the good. Subsequently, goods may sell at prices lower or higher than the provided estimates.
1.8 Reserves
Many Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum sale price. The reserve will never exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. CA Ltd may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller, and may in their discretion continue to bid up to the reserve price. This can be achieved by bidding in response to other bidders or alternatively by placing consecutive bids.

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.

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.
