no. 58.
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
preparing this catalogue entry.

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).

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.

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.

Berenice became interested in ancient mythology

immortality. Berenice used the intricate shape
of the plant to create a colourful patchwork
surface that is simultaneously abstract and
representational, contemporary and ancient.

(illustrated on the front cover), where purchased by the present owner.
LITERATURE:
S. Morley, Out in the Midday Sun. The Paintings of Nol Coward, Oxford,
1988, p. 43, illustrated.
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.

his eccentric little house, surrounded by his eccentric little paintings. He
plied Grace with champagne and orange juice which she thought was

tipsy child and a Craigie Aitchison original (op. cit., p. 259).

in the district of Seedley in Salford. Lowry and I both
painted it and on the occasion of our last visit, he

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

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.
SUCCESSFUL BIDS
While Invoices are sent out by mail after the auction we do not
accept responsibility for notifying you of the result of your bid.
Buyers are requested to contact us by telephone or in person as
soon as possible after the sale to obtain details of the outcome
of their bids to avoid incurring unnecessary storage charges.
Successful bidders will pay the price of the final bid plus
premium plus any applicable VAT.
PAYMENT
Buyers are expected to make payment for purchases
immediately after the auction. To avoid delivery delays,
prospective buyers are encouraged to supply bank or other
suitable references before the auction. Please note that Christies
will not accept payments for purchased Lots from any party
other than the registered buyer.

VAT
These lots have been imported from outside the EU for sale
using a Temporary Import regime. Import VAT is payable
(at 20%) on the Hammer price. VAT is also payable (at 20%)
on the buyers Premium on a VAT inclusive basis. This VAT
is not shown separately on the invoice. Where applicable
Customs duty will be charged (per rate specified by HMRC
guidance) on the Hammer price and VAT will be payable at
20% on duty. When a buyer of such a lot has registered an EU
address but wishes to export the lot or complete the import
into another EU country, he must advise Christies immediately
after the auction.
BuyersfromwithintheEU:
VAT payable at 20% on just the buyers premium (NOT the
hammer price).
BuyersfromoutsidetheEU:
VAT payable at 20% on hammer price and buyers premium.
If a buyer, having registered under a non-EU address, decides
that the item is not to be exported from the EU, then he
should advise Christies to this effect immediately
q Z
ero rated
No VAT charged.
(no symbol) Auctioneers Margin Scheme
In all other circumstances no VAT will be charged on the
hammer price, but VAT payable at 20% will be added to the
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:

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.
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.
(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.

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.
