PROPERTY FROM THE ESTATE OF VICTOR ANTON


In 1951, Victor Anton received international attention through his participation in Contemporary British Artists, a British Council exhibition
held in France. This was followed by several solo exhibitions such as Gimpel Fils Gallery in 1953 and Grabowski Gallery in 1963
as well as numerous group exhibitions including the I.C.A. in 1958. Antons sculptures of the 1950s share a strong aesthetic with his
contemporaries Robert Adams and Geoffrey Clark. By the 1960s he had begun to experiment with black and white Perspex as seen in the
present lots. These cutting-edge works, produced at the inception of Op Art in this country, remain fresh and powerful today.

In 1939, with the outbreak of the Second World War, Kenneth Clark
recruited John Piper to join the War Artists scheme, enlisting the artist to
depict the bomb damage of British cities. Piper was also involved in the
Recording Britain project, a scheme organized by Clark and the Pilgrim
Trust to preserve a record of buildings which could be destroyed in the
war. Piper travelled across the country documenting the beauty of British
architecture, fnding a particular resonance with Yorkshire and the churches
and abbeys he visited as a child. The present lot captures St Giles Church,
a thirteenth century grade I listed building in the village of Skelton, North
Yorkshire. Built in 1247 it is believed to have been crafted by masons who
helped construct York Minster, created from left-over stones of the South
Transept of York Minster.
Skelton Church, Yorkshire, 1948, is a prime example of the artists
famous architectural paintings, the late 1940s being a period which
Anthony West marks as his most productive years (A. West, John Piper,
London, 1979, p. 128). Piper is celebrated not only for painting some
of Britains best buildings but for capturing their historical and individual
characteristics. Pipers aesthetic is often abstracted, so that his recording is
not a straight-forward rendition but is more an expression of how a British
citizen would feel seeing the destruction. Piper depicted the horrors of war
at home painting a picture of life during confict. Famously fond of ruined
and decaying buildings, Piper found the spectacle of destruction suited
his Romantic sensibilities and appealed to the notion of the transience of
human existence, a truth felt no more potently than in war time. Piper often
exaggerated the colour, using a rich palette of warm red tones, alongside

20

cool blue, green hues and jet black, as seen in the present lot, to enhance
the shadowy, craggy aspects of the building and to create a haunting
and powerful aesthetic. Piper also creates a sense of heightened drama,
darkening the sky, to enhance the character of the building and create a
foreboding ambience.
Depicting St Giles church standing alone, surrounded by overgrown
greenery, Piper conveyed a sense of isolation, capturing the mood in Britain
at that time. Geographically cut off from the rest of Europe and suffering
their own private losses and sense of terror, Piper succeeded in capturing
the spirit of the time. This sense of alienation is felt no more fervently than
in his images of churches, their windows often painted black or boarded
up, like sightless eyes. D.F. Jenkins states that these blackened windows
are a potent symbol of the period, an expression synonymous with the
feelings of defencelessness and threat (D.F. Jenkins, John Piper The Forties,
London, 2000, p. 20). Jenkins sees that Pipers unique vision marks him
as one of the most important artists of the day, he states, More powerfully
than any other artist, at least since Turner and Cotman, he possessed a
personal vision of architecture that transformed what he saw. He sought out
provincial buildings of extraordinary character, and represented them by his
own means of pictorial design, colouring, illumination and texture, turning
them into refections of a unique personal attitude (D.F. Jenkins, John Piper
The Forties, London, 2000, p. 8).
We are very grateful to Rev. Dr. Stephen Laird for his assistance in

the estuary at Milford Haven. Sutherland developed these architectural
rock formations, which had been pierced by weather and sea erosions,
into towering and ecclesiastical ovations in his The Cathedral, Range of
Rocks. His late works should not be interpreted in terms of the intentions of
his earlier style. They are imaginings of a different order, inspired by the
remarkable clarity of the everchanging light (J. Hayes, The Art of Graham

and Drawings, October 1920.

In August 1917 Kennington was posted to France as an Offcial War Artist


for the Ministry of Information, where he was briefed to depict the soldiers
on the front in charcoal and pastel. He returned to London in March 1918,
having produced over 160 portraits of the soldiers and the conditions in
which they lived, fought and died.
At the end of that year Kennington joined the Canadian War Records
Scheme as an Offcial War Artist in eastern France and Belgium, alongside
his contemporaries Wyndham Lewis, William Roberts and Edward
Wadsworth. It was during this time that Kennington executed the present
work, a poignant depiction of a soldiers grave on the battlefeld, marked
by a makeshift wooden cross and the soldiers gun and helmet, around
which a tangle of ivy has grown. He returned to this motif again in 1925 in
his Soissons Memorial to the Missing, in which the gun and helmet form a
more stylised centrepiece to this trinity of soldiers.
Kenningtons one-man exhibition at the Alpine Club Gallery in October
1920 confrmed his reputation as one of Britains leading draughtsmen
and portraitists, and it is likely that the present work was included in this
show. On 31 October 1920 the art critic of the Observer, P.G. Konody,
remarked that Kenningtons drawings were among the best of their
period. With all their incisive crystalline clearness few can rival him in the
exploitation of the possibilities of the pastel medium (cited in J. Black, The
Sculpture of Eric Kennington, Much Hadham, 2002, p. 27). In the Alpine
Club Gallery exhibition catalogue the frst work listed is simply marked with
a poem:
This is the grave of man. No monument
Of patriot mourned by King and Parliament.
But it and the obscure and hurrying hand
That thrust it up have long since left the land
For the trim parks of heroes neatly planted
Through which the admiring tourist moves enchanted.
We are very grateful to Dr Jonathan Black for his assistance in preparing
this catalogue entry.

The present work embodies many of the characteristics of the renowned


20th Century sculptor Frank Dobson. Celebrated for his classical pure
style, Dobson gained an outstanding reputation in the 1920s and 30s,
championed by fgures such as Roger Fry and Clive Bell. Best known for
his female nudes, which mirror the sophisticated simplifcation of form
that is noted in the work of Aristide Maillol, Dobson conveyed a quiet yet
monumental dignity in his sculptures, which can be seen in the present
work. The accomplished treatment of the marble is reminiscent of the

skilled craftsmanship of Dobson, who was prominent in the revival of


direct carving. Appointed Professor of Sculpture at the Royal College of
Art after World War II, Dobsons infuence can be seen in a number of his
students art, most notably in the work of Alan Durst, which this piece bears
a resemblance to. As a carver of religious subjects, fgures and animals,
Durst is known for his contribution to the London Group, of which he was
a member, and to the spirit of direct carving, which he strove to promote
throughout his career.

Returning to St Ives from Leeds (where for the past two years he had been
honoured as the Universitys Gregory Fellow in Painting) in the summer
of 1957, Frost embarked on perhaps the most productive period of his
career. Already a leading fgure in non-fgurative painting, around 1960
Frost entered into a phase of particularly distinctive work. Generally larger,
fatter and more simply constructed, such work seemed characterised by a
new kind of sparseness, tautness and innuendo. Frost recalled these years
of change and consolidation (see C. Stephens, Terry Frost, London, Tate,
2000, p. 54), as a period of total confdence (exhibition catalogue, Terry
Frost, London, Belgrave Gallery, 1989, no. 19).
In 1960 he travelled to New York for his frst exhibition at the Bertha
Schaefer Gallery where he was welcomed by such artists as Willem de
Kooning, Barnett Newman, Robert Motherwell, Mark Rothko and Franz
Kline, several of whom invited him to visit their studios. In London he was
showing regularly with the recently established Waddington Galleries
and in 1961 had his frst solo show at the dealers Cork Street gallery.
The following year saw a second dedicated exhibition at the Bertha
Schaefer Gallery, New York as well as the completion of a sensual series
of collaged paintings including White Painting (Bollards). Frosts pair of
curved forms nestle amid thinly, insouciantly painted white space.
First introduced in Force 8, 1960 the v-shaped wedge formed a new
addition to Frosts repertoire of discs, half discs and quarter disc segments,
circles, lozenges, truncated ovals, triangles and diamonds. At a time
when the line between abstraction and fguration was increasingly called
into question, such allusive forms began to feature prominently in Frosts
work, not only serving a purely formal, compositional function, but also
signifying, albeit somewhat crudely and reductively, the female nude. In
numerous works, as in White Painting (Bollards) an arrow is fred, entering
the painting with unequivocally erotic intent, eliciting in the viewer an
unmistakably visceral thrill upon reaching its target. And yet, far from brash,
Frosts rendering of such an encounter is ambiguous, understated, described
in charcoal lines of inimitable inexactitude.

46

The subject of The Three Graces, or three female nudes, had fascinated
Frost since he frst encountered Rubens Judgement of Paris at the National
Gallery while still at student at Camberwell. The combination of the girls
glances, of the interaction between the three fgures- or even the same
fgure seen from three different viewpoints, intrigued Frost. We might see the
three bollards featured on the left hand side of the canvas in White Painting
(Bollards), assertively upright, sloping, inclined and fnally indistinct, as
formal refections on this theme.
Undoubtedly inspired by his friend and former Camberwell tutor, Victor
Pasmores painted collages (Pasmore produced his frst abstract, collaged
piece in 1948) Frost attributes his adoption of the medium to his work for
Barbara Hepworth. In 1950 Frost was taken on by Hepworth to assist
with the carving of Contrapuntal Forms, 1951, a large two part sculpture
in blue Connemara limestone commissioned by the Arts Council for the
Festival of Britain. Frost later said that working for Barbara made me
think that the whole thing was totally illusionistic, painting, and made me
lose confdence, I think, because if youre making actual shapes theres
something marvellous about it (Terry Frost, interview with David Lee, June
1993). Although featuring consistently throughout the artists oeuvre, from
1960 onwards collage gained increasing prominence, augmenting, as in
White Painting (Bollards) the tension between the two curved protagonists,
ambiguous, indeterminate and yet reminiscent for the artist both of boats
and buttocks. Frost said of the origin of SS09, a painting similar in form
and content to White Painting (Bollards): I made a drawing of Kath from
behind and there were these two semicircles of her buttocks coming in
from the side of the paper And then when I looked at those semicircular
shapes in the drawing my mind went back to the boats (Terry Frost,
interview with David Lewis, July 1993, in D. Lewis, Terry Frost: A Personal
Narrative, Aldershot, 1994, p. 78).

PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE MISS VALERIE BESTON

Miss Valerie Beston dedicated her life to art in a range of ways. She helped to develop Marlborough Fine Art almost from its inception
and supported many of the most prominent British artists of the twentieth century through her role as Director of the gallery, as well as being
a private collector herself. She became an indispensable fgure within the gallery, one that clients, artists and academics could rely on for
absolute discretion, loyalty and support. It was her professionalism and strong but private character that secured the trust of many members
of the art world, most notably Francis Bacon.
By 1958, when Marlborough started representing Francis Bacon, Miss Beston had been in place there for just over a decade, having
started as a typist in her twenties. Despite forming close working friendships with many prominent artists including Frank Auerbach, Lucian
Freud, Henry Moore, Graham Sutherland and Ben Nicholson, who in turn for her support made her gifts of their works, her very particular
relationship with Bacon was to be unique. It was her active role in this artists life that secured her status within international art circles, as
without her approval any form of correspondences or working arrangements with Bacon would prove impossible. She was not merely his
representative, but one of the key fgures in organising almost all of the aspects of his life from setting up his appointments and dealing
with his bills to solving any of his day-to-day problems including lost keys or misplaced prescriptions. Though in many ways an introvert
who tended to avoid large social occasions, Miss Beston made an exception for Bacon and avidly supported the artist at his events. Her
offce at Marlborough was a window into her interests as the vast amount of literature available within the rooms walls gave an insight
into the breadth of artists she was most fascinated by. The rumours that she had been working on the ultimate catalogue raisonn of
Bacons paintings for years could explain the sheer multitude of books on the artist around her desk.
In February 2006 Christies sold the major works from Miss Bestons collection in a single-owner auction, which saw exceptional prices for
works by Frank Auerbach and Francis Bacon. Arising from her collection, the works offered in this sale show not only Miss Bestons artistic
taste but many drawings or paintings presented here speak of her personal relationships with these artists. Auerbachs charming sketch of
cats, given as a gesture of thanks to Miss Beston, is one such souvenir of a close friendship.

Highly regarded for his role as art historian, critic, curator and early
protagonist of Pop Art, Henry Geldzahler is best known for his work at
the Metropolitan Museum of Art and as New York City Commissioner of
Cultural Affairs.
Geldzahler counted Willem de Kooning, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Jasper
Johns amongst his close friends, and Andy Warhol famously produced a 90
minute flm of him smoking a cigar. One of his most enduring friendships
was with Hockney, who portrayed him on a number of occasions, the most
celebrated of which being the 1969 double portrait of Geldzahler and his
then partner Christopher Scott. The closeness of their relationship is clear in
the present work with Geldzahler sitting casually dressed, quietly reading
a book on his bed. Capturing his friends physiognomy through a series of
crisp discerning lines, the present work displays the mastery of Hockneys
draughtsmanship. Over the years they were to work on a number of
projects together, including a series of essays and criticism Geldzahler
published in 1994 titled Making it New, for which Hockney wrote the
introduction.

Jamaicas an island surrounded by sea


(Like Corsica, Guam and Tasmania)
The tourist does not need to wear a topee
Or other macabre miscellanea
In fact every tourist who visits these shores
Can thank his benevolent Maker
For taking time off from the rest of his chores
To fashion the Isle of Jamaica.
(Nol Coward quoted in B.Day (ed.), The Letters of Nol Coward (Diaries,
Letters and Essays), New York, 2007, p. 495)

Sir Nol Coward discovered Jamaica just after the war and was fascinated
by it from his very frst visit. In a letter dating 9 February 1944 he writes
Oh dear, youd better all prepare to weep bright green tears of envy. It is
absolutely indescribably lovely If I can fnd a beach with a shack on it,
I shall buy it. Ive the feeling that this is the place I have been looking for.
(quoted in ibid, p. 495). Coward initially stayed at Goldeneye, where Ian
Fleming wrote the frst of the Bond books, but soon found his own home,
Firefy, at Blue Harbour, in the garden of which he produced arguably his
best work as an artist.
Coward often referred to his painting style as Touch-and-Gauguin. Much
like Gauguins allure with Tahiti, Coward found inspiration in the secluded
world of Jamaica. A comparison with the Post-Impressionist artist is certainly
visible in the choice of palette and composition of People before a Coastal
Inlet, Jamaica. A sense of a somewhat primitive style is evoked by the
fat areas of paint and the seemingly nave depiction of the fgures in the
foreground. The use of bright primary colours with vivid shades of fat blues,
aquamarines, turquoises and deep greens, set off against the reds and
yellows in which local fgures are dressed is very characteristic of Cowards
Jamaican paintings.

78

Painting was a lasting hobby for the famous playwright and composer who
would often give his paintings as Christmas presents to his close friends.
When he began painting is unclear. During the 1930s he mostly used
watercolours and it was not until a visit to Sir Winston Churchill at Chartwell
that he started to explore the greater range of oils.
Writing in his diary on 10 November 1955, Coward wittily noted Of
course, compared to some of the pretentious much that is shown month after
month in the London galleries, my amateur efforts appear brilliant. They
have a sense of colour and design and do at least convey a fantasised
impression of Jamaica (S. Morley, Out in the Midday Sun. The Paintings
of Nol Coward, Oxford, 1988, p. 11). Cowards paintings of Jamaica
certainly capture his personal response to the islands moods and spirits in a
highly theatrical way.
When People before a Coastal Inlet, Jamaica was offered at Christies
in February 1988, in the artists studio sale, it set the still existing world
auction record for the artist when it sold for 50,000.

In her book A Big Life, Australian fashion designer Jenny Kee discusses
how she acquired the present work on a visit to Craigie Aitchisons home
in 1985: We also visited eccentric Scottish painter Craigie Aitchison in
his eccentric little house, surrounded by his eccentric little paintings. He
plied Grace with champagne and orange juice which she thought was
wonderful, and spoke glowingly of his goddaughter (Michael [Andrews]
and Junes Melanie) in his strange, squeaky voice. We left with a slightly
tipsy child and a Craigie Aitchison original (op. cit., p. 259).

PROVENANCE:
Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner in 1985.
LITERATURE:

This small oil depicts a red house painted in scarlet
vermillion which was Lowrys favourite colour. It stood
in the district of Seedley in Salford. Lowry and I both
painted it and on the occasion of our last visit, he
looked at my picture and said Compositionally, it
needs something there and pointed to the bottom
right hand corner. He then ficked in the two fgures
and the dog and said, I never have problems with
composition, Sir, I simply put it in the middle

I knew that it was essential for me to go out onto the hills and mountains in
all weathers and paint simply what I saw in front of me, trying to master the
tones and putting down as nearly as possible the colours that I saw in front
of me. I found that I was able to do this when the rain poured down and
turned my paint into a sort of putty and also when it was below freezing
point for, gloveless, I found my hands were warmer when I fnished a
picture than they were when I started it
(Sir Kyffn Williams quoted in exhibition catalogue, Landscapes, Llangefni,

Important Notices and Explanation of


Cataloguing Practice
IMPORTANT NOTICES
CHRISTIES INTEREST IN PROPERTY
CONSIGNED FOR AUCTION
From time to time, Christies may offer a lot which
it owns in whole or in part. Such property is
identified in the catalogue with the symbol next to
its lot number.
On occasion, Christies has a direct financial interest
in lots consigned for sale, which may include
guaranteeing a minimum price or making an
advance to the consignor that is secured solely by
consigned property. Where Christies holds such
financial interest on its own we identify such lots
with the symbol next to the lot number.
Where Christies has financed all or part of such
interest through a third party the lots are identified
in the catalogue with the symbol u. When a
third party agrees to finance all or part of Christies
interest in a lot, it takes on all or part of the risk of
the lot not being sold, and will be remunerated in
exchange for accepting this risk based on a fixed fee
if the third party is the successful bidder or on the
final hammer price in the event that the third party
is not the successful bidder. The third party may also
bid for the lot. Where it does so, and is the successful
bidder, the remuneration may be netted against the
final purchase price. If the lot is not sold, the third
party may incur a loss. Please see http://www.
christies.com/financial-interest/ for a more detailed
explanation of minimum price guarantees and third
party financing arrangements.
Where Christies has an ownership or financial
interest in every lot in the catalogue, Christies will
not designate each lot with a symbol, but will state
its interest in the front of the catalogue.
ALL DIMENSIONS ARE APPROXIMATE
CONDITION
Christies catalogues include references to condition
only in descriptions of multiple works (such as
prints, books and wine). For all other property,
only alterations or replacement components are
listed. Please contact the Specialist Department
for a condition report on a particular lot. The
nature of the lots sold in our auctions is such that
they will rarely be in perfect condition, and are
likely, due to their nature and age, to show signs
of wear and tear, damage, other imperfections,
restoration or repair. Any reference to condition
in a catalogue entry will not amount to a full
description of condition. Condition reports are
usually available on request, and will supplement
the catalogue description. In describing lots, our
staff assess the condition in a manner appropriate to
the estimated value of the item and the nature of
the auction in which it is included. Any statement
as to the physical nature or condition of a lot, in a
catalogue, condition report or otherwise, is given
honestly and with appropriate care. However,
Christies staff are not professional restorers or
trained conservators and accordingly any such
statement will not be exhaustive. We therefore
recommend that you always view property
personally, and, particularly in the case of any items
of significant value, that you instruct your own
restorer or other professional adviser to report to
you in advance of bidding.

PROPERTY INCORPORATING MATERIALS


FROM ENDANGERED AND OTHER
PROTECTED SPECIES
Property made of or incorporating (irrespective
of percentage) endangered and other protected
species of wildlife are marked with the symbol ~
in the catalogue. Such material includes, among
other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin,
rhinoceros horn, whale bone and certain species of
coral, together with Brazilian rosewood. Prospective
purchasers are advised that several countries prohibit
altogether the importation of property containing
such materials, and that other countries require a
permit (e.g., a CITES permit) from the relevant
regulatory agencies in the countries of exportation
as well as importation. Accordingly, clients should
familiarise themselves with the relevant customs laws
and regulations prior to bidding on any property
with wildlife material if they intend to import the
property into another country. Please note that it is
the clients responsibility to determine and satisfy the
requirements of any applicable laws or regulations
applying to the export or import of property
containing endangered and other protected wildlife
material. The inability of a client to export or import
property containing endangered and other protected
wildlife material is not a basis for cancellation or
rescission of the sale. Please note also that lots
containing potentially regulated wildlife material are
marked as a convenience to our clients, but Christies
does not accept liability for errors or for failing to
mark lots containing protected or regulated species.
RECENT CHANGES TO IMPORTS OF
ELEPHANT IVORY AND OTHER WILDLIFE
MATERIAL INTO THE USA
The USA has recently changed its policy on the
import of property made of or containing elephant
ivory. Only Asian Elephant ivory may be imported
into the USA, and imports must be accompanied by
DNA analysis and confirmation the object is more
than 100 years old. We have not obtained a DNA
analysis on any lot prior to sale and cannot indicate
whether the elephant ivory in a particular lot is
African or Asian elephant. Buyers purchase these
lots at their own risk and will be responsible for the
costs of obtaining any DNA analysis or other report
required in connection with their proposed import of
such property into the USA.
The USA is also currently requiring all imports of
property made of or containing wildlife material
to be accompanied by a scientific confirmation of
species and in some cases an additional confirmation
of age. We have not obtained such confirmations
prior to sale (unless specifically indicated) and
buyers will be responsible for the costs of any such
additional confirmations or opinions required for
their proposed import into the USA.
A buyers inability to export or import any lot
containing elephant ivory or other wildlife material
is not a basis for cancelling the purchase.
POST 1950 FURNITURE
All items of post-1950 furniture included in this
sale are items either not originally supplied for use
in a private home or now offered solely as works
of art. These items may not comply with the
provisions of the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire)
(Safety) Regulations 1988 (as amended in 1989 and
1993, the Regulations). Accordingly, these items
should not be used as furniture in your home in
their current condition. If you do intend to use such
items for this purpose, you must first ensure that
they are reupholstered, restuffed and/or recovered
(as appropriate) in order that they comply with the
provisions of the Regulations.

FOR PAINTINGS, PRINTS AND


WORKS OF ART
A work catalogued with the name(s) or recognised
designation of an artist or maker, without any
qualification, is, in our opinion, a work by the artist
or maker. In other cases, the following words or
expressions, with the following meanings are used:
Buyers are recommended to inspect the property
themselves. Written condition reports are usually
available on request.
Attributed to
In our opinion probably a work by the artist or
maker in whole or in part.
Circle of
In our opinion a work of the period of the artist or
maker and showing his influence.
Manner of
In our opinion a work executed in the style of the
artist or maker but of a later date.
After
In our opinion a copy of any date of a work of the
artist or maker.
Signed /Sealed /
Has a signature/seal which in our opinion is that of
the artist
With signature / With seal /
Has a signature/seal which in our opinion is not that
of the artist
Dated
Is so dated and in our opinion was executed at about
that date.
With date /
Is so dated but was not in our opinion executed at
that date.
FOR PORCELAIN AND CERAMICS
(a) A piece catalogued with the name of a period,
reign or dynasty without further qualification
was, in our opinion, made during or shortly
after that period, reign or dynasty (e.g. a Ming
vase)
(b) A piece catalogued in the style of a period,
reign or dynasty is in our opinion, quite
possibly a copy or imitation of pieces made
during the named period, reign or dynasty (e.g.
a vase in Ming style)
(c) A reference to a mark and of the period
means that, in our opinion, the piece is of the
period of the mark (e.g. Kangxi six-character
mark and of the period).
(d) A reference to a mark without reference to
and of the period means that, in our opinion,
although bearing the mark, the pieces were
possibly not made in the period of the mark
(e.g. Kangxi six-character mark).
(e) Where no date, period, reign or mark is
mentioned, the lot is, in our opinion, of
uncertain date or 19th or 20th century
manufacture.

Buying at Christies
CONDITIONS OF SALE
Christies Conditions of Sale and Limited Warranty are set out
later in this catalogue. Bidders are strongly encouraged to read
these as they set out the terms on which property is bought
at auction.
ESTIMATES
Estimates are based upon prices recently paid at auction for
comparable property, condition, rarity, quality and provenance.
Estimates are subject to revision. Buyers should not rely upon
estimates as a representation or prediction of actual selling
prices. Estimates do not include the buyers premium or VAT.
Where Estimate on Request appears, please contact the
Specialist Department for further information.
RESERVES
The reserve is the confidential minimum price the consignor
will accept and will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate. Lots
that are not subject to a reserve are identified by the symbol
next to the lot number.
BUYERS PREMIUM
Christies charges a premium to the buyer on the final bid
price of each lot sold at the following rates: 25% of the final
bid price of each lot up to and including 50,000, 20% of
the excess of the hammer price above 50,000 and up to and
including 1,000,000 and 12% of the excess of the hammer
price above 1,000,000. Exceptions: Wine and Cigars: 17.5%
of the final bid price of each lot. VAT is payable on the
premium at the applicable rate.
PRE-AUCTION VIEWING
Pre-auction viewings are open to the public free of charge.
Christies specialists are available to give advice and condition
reports at viewings or by appointment.
BIDDER REGISTRATION
Prospective buyers who have not previously bid or consigned
with Christies should bring:
Individuals: government-issued photo identification (such as
a photo driving licence, national identity card, or passport) and,
if not shown on the ID document, proof of current address, for
example a utility bill or bank statement.
Corporate clients: a certificate of incorporation.
For other business structures such as trusts, offshore
companies or partnerships, please contact Christies Credit
Department at + 44 (0)20 7839 2825 for advice on the
information you should supply.
A financial reference in the form of a recent bank statement
or a reference from your bank in line with your expected
purchase level. Christies can supply a form of wording for the
bank reference if necessary.
Persons registering to bid on behalf of someone who has
not previously bid or consigned with Christies should bring
identification documents not only for themselves but also for
the party on whose behalf they are bidding, together with a
signed letter of authorisation from that party.
To allow sufficient time to process the information, new clients
are encouraged to register at least 48 hours in advance of a sale.
Prospective buyers should register for a numbered bidding
paddle at least 30 minutes before the auction. Clients who have
not made a purchase from any Christies office within the last
one year and those wishing to spend more than on previous
occasions, will be asked to supply a new bank reference.
For assistance with references, please contact Christies Credit
Department at +44 (0)20 7389 2862 (London, King Street)
or at +44 (0)20 7752 3137 (London, South Kensington). We
may at our option ask you for a financial reference or a
deposit as a condition of allowing you to bid.
REGISTERING TO BID ON SOMEONE ELSES BEHALF
Persons bidding on behalf of an existing client should bring
a signed letter from the client authorising the bidder to act
on the clients behalf. Please note that Christies does not
accept payments from third parties. Christies can only accept
payment from the client, and not from the person bidding
on their behalf.
BIDDING
The auctioneer accepts bids from those present in the saleroom, from telephone bidders, or by absentee written bids left
with Christies in advance of the auction. The auctioneer may
also execute bids on behalf of the seller up to the amount of
the reserve. The auctioneer will not specifically identify bids
placed on behalf of the seller. Under no circumstances will the
auctioneer place any bid on behalf of the seller at or above the
reserve. Bid steps are shown on the Absentee Bid Form at the
back of this catalogue.
ABSENTEE BIDS
Absentee bids are written instructions from prospective buyers
directing Christies to bid on their behalf up to a maximum
amount specified for each lot. Christies staff will attempt to
execute an absentee bid at the lowest possible price, taking
into account the reserve price. Absentee bids submitted on no
reserve lots will, in the absence of a higher bid, be executed
at approximately 50% of the low pre sale estimate or at the
amount of the bid if it is less than 50% of the low pre-sale
estimate.The auctioneer may execute absentee bids directly
from the rostrum, clearly identifying these as absentee bids,
book bids, order bids or commission bids. Absentee
Bids Forms are available in this catalogue, at any Christies
location, or online at christies.com.

TELEPHONE BIDS
Arrangements must be confirmed with the Bid Department
at least 24 hours prior to the auction at +44 (0)20 7389 2658
(London, King Street) or +44 (0)20 7752 3225 (London,
South Kensington). Arrangements to bid in languages other
than English must be made well in advance of the sale date.
Telephone bids may be recorded. By bidding on the telephone,
prospective purchasers consent to the recording of their
conversation.

accept responsibility for notifying you of the result of your bid.

soon as possible after the sale to obtain details of the outcome
of their bids to avoid incurring unnecessary storage charges.

buyers premium which is invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis.

WineAuctions
This wine is in bond. You can choose to take the wine
in bond or duty paid. See the additional conditions of sale
relating to wine for further details.
VATRefunds
Refunds cannot be made where lots have been purchased with
an inside EU address. Christies can only refund Import VAT
(Lots with * or symbol) if lots are exported within 30 days
of collection. Valid export documents must be returned within
the stipulated time frame. No refund will be paid out where
the total amount is less than 100. UK & EU private buyers
cannot reclaim VAT. Christies will charge 35 for each
refund processed. For detailed information please see the leaflets
available, or email info@Christies.com
Where non-EU buyers have failed to export their lots outside
of the EU within the required time, HM Revenue & Customs
will not allow a VAT refund to be made. This is a requirement
of UK legislation and Christies do not have discretion to make
exceptions to the rule. UK and EU private buyers cannot
reclaim any VAT charged.
ARTISTS RESALE RIGHT (DROIT DE SUITE)
If a lot is affected by this right it will be identified with the
symbol next to the lot number. The buyer agrees to pay to
Christies an amount equal to the resale royalty. Resale royalty
applies where the Hammer Price is 1,000 Euro or more and
the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euro per lot. The
amount is calculated as follows:
Royalty
4.00%
3.00%
1.00%
0.50%
0.25%

For the portion of the Hammer Price (in Euro)


up to 50,000
between 50,000.01 and 200,000
between 200,000.01 and 350,000
between 350,000.01 and 500,000
in excess of 500,000

Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the


purposes of calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/
Euro rate of exchange will be the European Central Bank
reference rate on the day of the sale.
SHIPPING
It is the buyers responsibility to pick up purchases or make
all shipping arrangements. After payment has been made in
full, Christies can arrange property packing and shipping at
the buyers request and expense. Buyers should request an
estimate for any large items or property of high value that
require professional packing. A shipping form is enclosed with
each invoice, alternatively buyers can visit www.christies.com/
shipping to request a shipping estimate. For more information
please contact the Shipping Department at + 44 (0)20 7389
2712 or via
ArtTransport_London@christies.com for both London,

following applies:

date of collection. All other lots not subject to import VAT
must be exported within three months of collection, and proof

EXPORT/IMPORT PERMITS
Buyers should always check whether an export licence is required
before exporting. It is the buyers 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 rescission of
any sale nor any delay in making full payment for the lot.
Christies can advise buyers on the detailed provisions of the
export licensing regulations and will submit any necessary
export licence applications on request. However, Christies
cannot ensure that a licence will be obtained. Local laws may
prohibit the import of some property and/or may prohibit
the resale of some property in the country of importation.

Conditions of Sale
These Conditions of Sale and the Important Notices
and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice set out the
terms governing the legal relationship of Christies
and the seller with the buyer. You should read them
carefully before bidding.

3. AT THE SALE
(a) Refusal of admission
Christies has the right, at our complete discretion,
to refuse admission to the premises or participation
in any auction and to reject any bid.

1. CHRISTIES AS AGENT
Except as otherwise stated Christies acts as agent for
the seller. The contract for the sale of the property is
therefore made between the seller and the buyer.

(b) Registration before bidding


Prospective buyers who wish to bid in the saleroom
can register online in advance of the sale, or
can come to the saleroom on the day of the sale
approximately 30 minutes before the start of the
sale to register in person. Prospective buyers must
complete and sign a registration form with his
or her name and permanent address, and provide
identification before bidding. We may require the
production of bank details from which payment will
be made or other financial references.

2.

CATALOGUE DESCRIPTIONS
AND CONDITION
Lots are sold as described and otherwise in the
condition they are in at the time of the sale, on the
following basis.
(a) Condition
The nature of the lots sold in our auctions is such that
they will rarely be in perfect condition, and are likely,
due to their nature and age, to show signs of wear
and tear, damage, other imperfections, restoration or
repair. Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry
will not amount to a full description of condition.
Condition reports are usually available on request,
and will supplement the catalogue description. In
describing lots, our staff assess the condition in a
manner appropriate to the estimated value of the item
and the nature of the auction in which it is included.
Any statement as to the physical nature or condition
of a lot, in a catalogue, condition report or otherwise,
is given honestly and with appropriate care. However,
Christies staff are not professional restorers or trained
conservators and accordingly any such statement will
not be exhaustive. We therefore recommend that you
always view property personally, and, particularly
in the case of any items of significant value, that
you instruct your own restorer or other professional
adviser to report to you in advance of bidding.
(b) Cataloguing Practice
Our cataloguing practice is explained in the
Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing
Practice, which appear after the catalogue entries.
(c) Attribution etc
Any statements made by Christies about any lot,
whether orally or in writing, concerning attribution
to, for example, an artist, school, or country of origin,
or history or provenance, or any date or period, are
expressions of our opinion or belief. Our opinions and
beliefs have been formed honestly and in accordance
with the standard of care reasonably to be expected
of an auction house of Christies standing, due regard
having been had to the estimated value of the item
and the nature of the auction in which it is included.
It must be clearly understood, however, that, due to
the nature of the auction process, we are unable to
carry out exhaustive research of the kind undertaken
by professional historians and scholars, and also that, as
research develops and scholarship and expertise evolve,
opinions on these matters may change. We therefore
recommend that, particularly in the case of any item of
significant value, you seek advice on such matters from
your own professional advisers.
(d) Estimates
Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on
as a statement that this is the price at which the item
will sell or its value for any other purpose.
(e) Fitness for Purpose
Lots sold are enormously varied in terms of age, category
and condition, and may be purchased for a variety
of purposes. Unless otherwise specifically agreed, no
promise is made that a lot is fit for any particular purpose.

(c) Bidding as principal


When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal
liability to pay the purchase price, including the
buyers premium and all applicable taxes, plus
all other applicable charges, unless it has been
explicitly agreed in writing with Christies before
the commencement of the sale that the bidder is
acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party
acceptable to Christies, and that Christies will only
look to the principal for payment.
(d) Absentee bids
We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written
bids delivered to us prior to the sale for the
convenience of clients who are not present at the
auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids
must be placed in the currency of the place of the
sale. Please refer to the catalogue for the Absentee
Bids Form. If we receive written bids on a particular
lot for identical amounts, and at the auction these
are the highest bids on the lot, it will be sold to
the person whose written bid was received and
accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free
service undertaken subject to other commitments
at the time of the sale and provided that we have
exercised reasonable care in the handling of written
bids, the volume of goods is such that we cannot
accept liability in any individual instance for failing
to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions
in connection with it arising from circumstances
beyond our reasonable control.
(e) 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 the bidding by telephone but we do
not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors
and omissions in connection with telephone bidding
arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable
control.
(f) Currency converter
At some auctions a currency converter may be
operated. Errors may occur in the operation of
the currency converter. Where these arise from
circumstances beyond our reasonable control we
do not accept liability to bidders who follow the
currency converter rather than the actual bidding in
the saleroom.
(g) Video or digital images
At some auctions there may be a video or digital
screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the
quality of the image. We do not accept liability for
such errors where they arise for reasons beyond our
reasonable control.

(h) Reserves
Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered
subject to a reserve, which is the confidential
minimum price below which the lot will not be
sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate
printed in the catalogue. If any lots are not subject
to a reserve, they will be identified with the symbol
next to the lot number. The auctioneer may open
the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing
a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may
continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the
amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive
bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders.
(i) Auctioneers discretion
The auctioneer has the right to exercise reasonable
discretion in refusing any bid, advancing the bidding
in such a manner as he may decide, withdrawing or
dividing any lot, combining any two or more lots
and, in the case of error or dispute, and whether
during or after the sale, determining the successful
bidder, continuing the bidding, cancelling the sale
or reoffering and reselling the item in dispute. If
any dispute arises after the sale, then, in the absence
of any evidence to the contrary the sale record
maintained by the auctioneer will be conclusive.
(j) Successful bid and passing of risk
Subject to the auctioneers reasonable discretion, the
highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be
the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the
acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of
a contract for sale between the seller and the buyer.
Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames
or glass where relevant) passes to the buyer at the
expiration of seven calendar days from the date of
the sale or on collection by the buyer if earlier.
4. AFTER THE SALE
(a) Buyers premium
In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees
to pay to us the buyers premium together with any
applicable value added tax. The buyers premium
is 25% of the final bid price of each lot up to and
including 50,000, 20% of the excess of the hammer
price above 50,000 and up to and including
1,000,000 and 12% of the excess of the hammer
price above 1,000,000. Exceptions: Wine and
Cigars: 17.5% of the final bid price of each lot, VAT
is payable at the applicable rate.
(b) Artists Resale Right (Droit de Suite)
If the Artists Resale Right Regulations 2006 apply to
the lot the buyer also agrees to pay to us an amount
equal to the resale royalty provided for in those
Regulations. Lots affected are identified with the
symbol next to the lot number.
(c) Payment and ownership
The buyer must pay the full amount due
(comprising the hammer price, buyers premium
and any applicable taxes or resale royalty)
immediately after the sale. This applies even if
the buyer wishes to export the lot and an export
licence is, or may be, required. The buyer will not
acquire title to the lot until all amounts due to us
from the buyer have been received by us in good
cleared funds even in circumstances where we have
released the lot to the buyer.

(d) Collection of purchases


We shall be entitled to retain items sold until all
amounts due to us, or to Christies International
plc, or to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent
companies worldwide, have been received in full in
good cleared funds or until the buyer has performed
any other outstanding obligations as we, at our sole
discretion, shall require, including, for the avoidance
of doubt, completing any anti-money laundering or
anti-terrorism financing checks we may require to our
satisfaction. In the event a buyer fails to complete any
anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing
checks to our satisfaction, Christies shall be entitled
to cancel the sale and to take any other actions that are
required or permitted under applicable law. Subject
to this, the buyer shall collect purchased lots within
two calendar days from the date of the sale unless
otherwise agreed between us and the buyer.

transactions, to apply any amount paid to


discharge any amount owed in respect of any
particular transaction, whether or not the buyer
so directs;
(viii) to reject at any future auction any bids made by
or on behalf of the buyer or to obtain a deposit
from the buyer before accepting any bids;
(ix) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a
person holding security over any property in our
possession owned by the buyer, whether by way
of pledge, security interest or in any other way,
to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the
place where such property is located. The buyer
will be deemed to have granted such security to
us and we may retain such property as collateral
security for such buyers obligations to us;
(x) to take such other action as we deem necessary
or appropriate.

(e) Packing, handling and shipping


Although we shall use reasonable efforts to take care
when handling, packing and shipping a purchased
lot and in selecting third parties for these purposes,
we are not responsible for the acts or omissions of
any such third parties. Similarly, where we suggest
other handlers, packers or carriers if so requested,
our suggestions are made on the basis of our general
experience of such parties in the past and we are not
responsible to any person to whom we have made
a recommendation for the acts or omissions of the
third party concerned.

If we resell the property under paragraph (iv) above,


the defaulting buyer shall be liable for payment of
any deficiency between the total amount originally
due to us and the price obtained upon resale as well
as for all reasonable costs, expenses, damages, legal
fees and commissions and premiums of whatever
kind associated with both sales or otherwise arising
from the default. If we pay any amount to the seller
under paragraph (v) above, the buyer acknowledges
that Christies shall have all of the rights of the seller,
however arising, to pursue the buyer for such amount.

(f) Export licence


Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact
that the buyer wishes to apply for an export licence
does not affect his or her obligation to make payment
immediately after the sale nor our right to charge
interest or storage charges on late payment. If the
buyer requests us to apply for an export licence on his
or her behalf, we shall be entitled to make a charge for
this service. We shall not be obliged to rescind a sale
nor to refund any interest or other expenses incurred
by the buyer where payment is made by the buyer in
circumstances where an export licence is required.
(g) Remedies for non payment
If the buyer fails to make payment in full in good
cleared funds within 7 days after the sale, we shall
have the right to exercise a number of legal rights
and remedies. These include, but are not limited to,
the following:
(i) to charge interest at an annual rate equal to 5%
above the base rate of Lloyds TSB Bank Plc;
(ii) to hold the defaulting buyer liable for the
total amount due and to commence legal
proceedings for its recovery together with
interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law;
(iii) to cancel the sale;
(iv) to resell the property publicly or privately on
such terms as we shall think fit;
(v) to pay the seller an amount up to the net
proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid
by the defaulting buyer;
(vi) to set off against any amounts which we,
or Christies International plc, or any of its
affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies
worldwide, may owe the buyer in any other
transactions, the outstanding amount remaining
unpaid by the buyer;
(vii) where several amounts are owed by the buyer
to us, or to Christies International plc, or
to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent
companies worldwide, in respect of different

(h) Failure to collect purchases


Where purchases are not collected within two calendar
days from the date of the sale, whether or not payment
has been made, we shall be permitted to remove the
property to a third party warehouse at the buyers
expense, and only release the items after payment in full
has been made of removal, storage, handling, and any
other costs reasonably incurred, together with payment
of all other amounts due to us.
(i) Selling Property at Christies
In addition to expenses such as transport, all
consignors pay a commission according to a fixed
scale of charges based upon the value of the property
sold by the consignor at Christies in a calendar year.
Commissions are charged on a sale by sale basis.
5. LIMITED WARRANTY
In addition to Christies liability to buyers set out in
clause 2 of these Conditions, but subject to the terms
and conditions of this paragraph, Christies warrants for
a period of five years from the date of the sale that any
property described in headings printed in UPPER CASE
TYPE (i.e. headings having all capital-letter type) in
this catalogue (as such description may be amended by
any saleroom notice or announcement) which is stated
without qualification to be the work of a named author
or authorship, is authentic and not a forgery. The term
author or authorship refers to the creator of the
property or to the period, culture, source or origin, as the
case may be, with which the creation of such property
is identified in the UPPER CASE description of the
property in this catalogue. Only UPPER CASE TYPE
headings of lots in this catalogue indicate what is being
warranted by Christies. Christies warranty does not
apply to supplemental material which appears below
the UPPER CASE TYPE headings of each lot and
Christies is not responsible for any errors or omissions
in such material. The terms used in the headings are
further explained in Important Notices and Explanation
of Cataloguing Practice. The warranty does not apply
to any heading which is stated to represent a qualified
opinion. The warranty is subject to the following:

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

(iv)

(v)

(vi)

It does not apply where (a) the catalogue


description or saleroom notice corresponded
to the generally accepted opinion of scholars
or experts at the date of the sale or fairly
indicated that there was a conflict of opinions;
or (b) correct identification of a lot can be
demonstrated only by means of either a
scientific process not generally accepted for
use until after publication of the catalogue or
a process which at the date of publication of
the catalogue was unreasonably expensive or
impractical or likely to have caused damage to
the property.
The benefits of the warranty are not assignable
and shall apply only to the original buyer of the
lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by
Christies when the lot was sold at auction.
The original buyer must have remained the
owner of the lot without disposing of any
interest in it to any third party.
The buyers sole and exclusive remedy against
Christies and the seller, in place of any other
remedy which might be available, is the
cancellation of the sale and the refund of the
original purchase price paid for the lot. Neither
Christies nor the seller will be liable for any
special, incidental or consequential damages
including, without limitation, loss of profits
nor for interest.
The buyer must give written notice of claim
to us within five years from the date of the
auction. It is Christies general policy, and
Christies shall have the right, to require the
buyer to obtain the written opinions of two
recognised experts in the field, mutually
acceptable to Christies and the buyer, before
Christies decides whether or not to cancel the
sale under the warranty.
The buyer must return the lot to the Christies
saleroom at which it was purchased in the same
condition as at the time of the sale.

6. COPYRIGHT
The copyright in all images, illustrations and written
material produced by or for Christies relating to a
lot including the contents of this catalogue, is and
shall remain at all times the property of Christies
and shall not be used by the buyer, nor by anyone
else, without our prior written consent. Christies
and the seller make no representation or warranty
that the buyer of a property will acquire any
copyright or other reproduction rights in it.
7. SEVERABILITY
If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by
any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
that part shall be discounted and the rest of the
conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
8. LAW AND JURISDICTION
The rights and obligations of the parties with
respect to these Conditions of Sale, the conduct of
the auction and any matters connected with any
of the foregoing shall be governed and interpreted
by the laws of England. By bidding at auction,
whether present in person or by agent, by written
bid, telephone or other means, the buyer shall
be deemed to have submitted, for the benefit of
Christies, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts
of the United Kingdom.
