In their different ways these painters were keen to capture the harsh “kitchen sink” austerity of life for those living at the bottom of British society in the immediate post-war period.

modes were Christine Borland (1965-2026) and Douglas Gordon (1966- ). Both created elaborate installation pieces but also produced single works of art as seen here. At that time Borland, who tragically passed away this summer, was particularly interested in medical and criminal forensics and this can be found in the way she mixes them with her subtle use of delicate materials, such as fine porcelain and white linen as seen in Tickle Holes (lot 163). Gordon, on the other hand, was fascinated by the photographic image, whether still or moving, and the way it affects not only our sense of our visual reality but also in the manner we see and judge ourselves and other people. The latter issue is directly confronted in Gordon’s double photographic self-portrait, Monster (lot 105), where we are invited not only to decide which is real and which is mirror image but also which of the two is the monstrous one.

In 2016 we co-curated an Edinburgh Festival exhibition called The Scottish Endarkenment in an attempt to offer an alternative reading of Scottish art made precisely over the same period as that covered in The Collection. Some works from The Collection were generously lent including Jock McFadyen’s Calton Hill (lot 128), a work which we both quickly agreed should be the one used on the exhibition poster. The exhibition proved to be a popular and critical success, being included in The Guardian’s top 10 best international exhibitions of that year. Furthermore, the National Gallery of Scotland were also impressed and wished to acquire McFayden’s Calton Hill for the National Collection, where it now resides. With the cooperation of the artist, another version replaced it and is the one now in The Collection. The Collection undoubtedly offers a rare; but unfortunately, soon to be a last, opportunity to see and admire a group of singularly high-quality works of modern and contemporary art from a very distinguished era in Scottish art history. For this we have to thank its exceptionally well-informed and dedicated Collector. BILL HARE & ANDREW PATRIZIO

The restricted palette of greys and whites is particularly striking – where colour had often provided much of the emotional intensity in Colquhoun’s earlier work, here expression is carried almost entirely by tone, silhouette and structure. The result is a figure that appears to emerge from the surrounding space rather than simply occupy it.

and a spattering of Abstract Expressionist paint, whereas Warhol leaves all that outside the image, its absence, though, inevitably becoming a presence. This is perhaps what makes Warhol ‘pure’ Pop, whereas Paolozzi retains one foot in the Surreal, but their aims appear the same: to look at contemporary obsessions with celebrity and glamour and to see it as both mask and mirror.

Judith Collins indicates that by 1957, the importance of Paolozzi’s work in bronze was being recognised and presumably to meet demand, he was using a variety of different foundries across London and Paris. She elaborates: “This scattered approach began to introduce confusion about original unique casts and numbered editions. A good example is the six numbered casts of Shattered Head, made by Susse Frères, which follow three unnumbered casts made by Fiorini & Carney [as here], which were in turn cast from the original made in Hampstead and given to Dorothy Morland.” (Collins, Judith, Eduardo Paolozzi, Lund Humphries, 2014, pg.113) Other fees apply in addition to the hammer price: see the ‘Buyer’s Guide’ section on page 8

of the Artist’s Father (lot 94), for example, we again see folds of skin and large thighs, alongside the influence of artists such as Lucian Freud. The painting of his father is particularly personal, allowing McPhail to explore the ageing body and the ways in which the human form changes over time.

McPhail’s work can be characterised as an uncompromising form of realism that asks the viewer not simply to look at the sitter, but to confront the physicality and vulnerability of the human subject. The human body is a recurring theme throughout his practice, allowing him to explore a range of ideas, including the conventions of the nude, ageing and imperfect bodies, and the complexities of identity. His refusal to idealise the body encourages the viewer to engage with it as something tangible and vulnerable and rejects the long standing idea of the ideal nude.

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. All dimensions and weights are approximate only. A2. OUR RESPONSIBILITY

FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the extent provided below. (a) 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 endeavour 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 us 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.

A4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS (a) Jewellery: (i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future. (ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale

and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report. (iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales.

Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report. (iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. (b) 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, we make 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 we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys. (c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given. (d) 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. (e) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. (f) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations).

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 may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above. D2. 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. (a) 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. (b) 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 outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.

(c) 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 outwit the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above. D3. ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY (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. The charge for works of art sold at and above £1,000 and below £50,000 is 4%. For items selling above £50,000, charges are calculated on a sliding scale.
