Dame Elisabeth Frink R.A. (British, 1930-1993)Horse signed and numbered 'Frink 6/9' (on the base)bronze with a dark brown patina33 cm. (13 in.) wideConceived in 1979Footnotes:ProvenanceThe Artist, from whom acquired by the family of the present ownersPrivate Collection, U.K.LiteratureSarah Kent and Brian Robertson, Elisabeth Frink Sculpture: Catalogue Raisonné, Harpvale, London, 1984, cat.no.247, pp.190-191 (ill.b&w, another cast)Annette Ratuszniak, Elisabeth Frink: Catalogue Raisonné of Sculpture 1947-93, Lund Humphries in association with the Frink Estate and Beaux Arts, London, 2013, pp.140-141, cat.no.FCR277 (col.ill., another cast)Please note that this work is accompanied by a letter from the artist to the previous owner.The horse first came into Frink's oeuvre in the late 1960s, coinciding with a move to Camargue, along the southern coast of France between Montpellier and Marseille, that introduced her to the semi-wild herds of horses for which the area is famous. Growing up in the countryside, she had always been an accomplished rider and understood horses very well beyond a mere aesthetic appeal, admiring what she perceived to be their 'strength, fidelity and sagacity' (Edward Lucie-Smith, Elisabeth Frink: Sculpture since 1984 and Drawings, Art Books International, London, 1994, p.40). But rather than the domestic horses that she was used to, it was always the wilder, more exotic horses that drew her artistic attention most – those at Camargue, a newly discovered Asiatic horse from the Mongolian steppe that had started to appear in London zoos, or even the Chinese terracotta horse from a Tang dynasty tomb that Frink herself owned. Part of this focus feeds into the idea of autonomy that is pervasive in Frink's depiction of animals. Keenly aware of the interdependency between man and animal, especially in the case of dogs and horses, this was something she was interested in exploring and would by no means downplay. But throughout these works there is always a persisting sense that the animal moves of its own accord, something brought about with an energetic dynamism in the present piece. Taking lead from what she believed to be a far more diverse and characterful representation of the horse in Chinese art, the horse here exists in its own right, rather than as a servant to man, and relishes in its own physicality and personality. Frink was unapologetically figurative in her approach, looking to express the tensions of the human condition and of the world more broadly by addressing the source, rather than through visual analogy. But where in the early stages of her career her work shows a more distorted image of reality more closely tied to the British sculptors of her day, her later work becomes more assertively naturalistic – not in a rejection of Abstraction per se, but more in a confirmation of the continuing ability of the real world to capture what she looked to express. In the context of Horse, Frink celebrates with confidence and a degree of defiance the depth of the subject matter in itself; it's visual and physical energy, its character, and the contemplation it can provoke on ourselves and our own qualities.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (1963) - Ray Harryhausen Archive: Talos Preservation Casting by Ray Harryhausen - View this 360 turnaround at full sizeA preservation casting of Talos created by Ray Harryhausen, from Don Chaffey's fantasy adventure Jason and the Argonauts. Talos was a huge bronze statue on the Isle of Bronze, which came alive and attacked the Argonauts after Hercules (Nigel Green) stole some treasure. This lot comes from Harryhausen's personal collection.Following his retirement, Harryhausen decided to create longer-lasting preservation castings of some of his key models, which were at higher risk of deterioration over time. This resin model, unique to Harryhausen's archive, was created from a sculpture of Talos made by Harryhausen during the 1980s, and cast from the same mould that was used for several bronzes in the same period. This resin model has been painted to look bronze with a verdigris patina. It comes with a sword which slots into Talos' hand, also built by Harryhausen for the model, and is mounted on a stand. The sword exhibits some paint wear around the handle. Dimensions: 45 cm x 23 cm x 17 cm (17.75" x 9" x 6.75")Additional provenance:This lot comes from the Ray & Diana Harryhausen Foundation, a collection of items from the long and illustrious career of special effects and animation legend Ray Harryhausen.
