Lot 172

Mackenzie Thorpe There's Nana, 2023 Watercolour on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) This lot has been curated by AOAP About Born in the late 1950's into humble beginnings, that era's customary career path was in the shipyards and industry of the area and upon leaving school at 15, Mackenzie Thorpe followed this predetermined path. Unhappy and feeling like a fish out of water, he kept creating, until his passion for drawing compelled him to forge his own path. Against all the odds he gained a place at his local art college before completing a degree in fine art in London in 1982. In 1989 he opened a gallery in Richmond, North Yorkshire and eventually his work (and popularity) went from strength to strength, his work being championed by William Hague MP. In the mid 1990's, he was signed up by an American art publisher who helped launch him in the United States, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Since then, he has continued to create distinctive artwork and exhibits both in the UK and internationally. In recent years Mackenzie has devoted time to developing bronze sculpture, with these unique and distinctive pieces now enhancing private gardens and homes, with larger scale works being commissioned for international businesses and hospitals. He is currently developing new work for an exhibition in 2024, at the Umm El Fahem Gallery in Israel which is aimed at uniting the diverse cultural and social relationships in this area. Commenting he said, 'as a British man I'm honoured to have been invited to exhibit at this prestigious gallery which aims to build peace and tolerance through art. It feels like a huge responsibility but using art as a kind of third language, as I do, allows my art to connect to people irrespective of age, gender, nationality, race etc, so whilst it is a challenge, I am excited'.

There is an intimacy inherent in this piece which is difficult to locate in Chadwick's sculptures from the 1950s and 60s and a sense of privacy that we feel as the passing viewer. The male, positioned behind, lifts his right thigh and hip as if he may be about to envelop his partner in a protective and tender moment. The gentle and naturalistic modelling of the female's torso and breasts recalls Chadwick's slightly earlier Elektra I (1968) but here only the faces are polished to give a sleek and shiny surface. The present work rejects the rougher more primitive finish of his first major figure group, The Watchers (1960). The female contrasts most effectively with the more rigid, angular planes of her partner. He is less rounded and voluminous, and the two exquisitely complement one another. It is likely the couple are simply sunbathing, raising their necks so that their faces, at right angles to their bodies, are fully exposed to the rays of the sun they are apparently worshipping. Two Reclining Figures was made shortly after Chadwick and his wife Éva established their own foundry, at Lypiatt Park, Gloucestershire. With Éva by his side, and looking after the business side of his profession, Chadwick emerged out of a period of debt in the 1960s into one with more financial stability. His international reputation had long been secured, and with the luxury of his own foundry from 1971 the sculptor was able to scrutinize the accuracy and quality of the casting process.We are grateful to the Artist's Estate for their assistance in cataloguing this lot.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

(Edward Lucie-Smith).It is true, as Edward Lucie-Smith comments, that Frink's large and imposing Leonardo's Dog II resembles the attractive Hungarian gun-dog breed of Vizslas; although the sculptor maintained they were not based on any one particular breed. The droopy ears, rounded nose and raised eyebrows lend the dog an inquisitiveness and friendliness which is also conveyed in her maquette for the present work. However, the author also notes:'It would have been easy to sentimentalize subject-matter of this type, and transform it into something unbearably kitsch. It says much for Frink's talent, and for her temperament – her attitude towards the natural world – that she was able to avoid this trap. Her avoidance of it is perhaps the more remarkable considering that some dogs she depicted are scarcely out of puppyhood.' (Edward Lucie-Smith, Elisabeth Frink, Sculpture Since 1984 and Drawings, Art Books International, London, 1994, p.19).As is often the case with Frink's animal sculptures the idea for representing the dog was established early on in her career, during the formative years of the 1950s. In one particular bronze, Blind Beggar and Dog (1957) the animal is used in a protective role, leading its helpless master forward in search of money. The dog's legs have been attenuated in much the same way as her other bronze, Dog from the same year, so that the creature takes on the appearance of something more wild, like a jackal perhaps. Revisiting the subject 35 years later this comforting idea, of protection, had not left Frink; the title of the present work was inspired by the stone dogs which guard and protect the entrance to the Chateau de Cloux near Amboise, Leonardo da Vinci's home when he died in 1519. Again, the dog is there to serve, ever faithful, but in this instance depicted in a far more domesticated fashion, one which is more accessible to the viewer and representative of the animal she is working from.It is difficult to appreciate when looking at a photograph of Leonardo's Dog II just how solid and three-dimensional the sculpture is. There is a 'presence' and weight attached to the work which Lucie-Smith has likened to the monumentality of War Horse for Chatsworth. Only upon walking the complete way around the sculpture can the viewer engage and appreciate the power behind this alert beast. Its vaguely rendered and over-sized paws serve to fix the seated dog to its chosen location, whether indoors or outside, and the lack of modelling to the surface emphasizes the vastness of the dog. Created in the penultimate year of her life, Leonardo's Dog II is a fitting tribute to Frink's love affair with all types of animals over a four decade long career.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

However, the highest acclaim is reserved for her equine subjects completed between 1969 and 1985, of which Rolling Over Horse (1976) is one. Speaking in reference to this celebrated period, Julian Spalding comments that 'Frink's animals came to feature more and more not as tortured harbingers of terror, but much more quietly, as themselves. Horses roll over and kick in the grass, or they lie down at ease...This is Frink at her most relaxed. She knew everything about horses and had the ability to sculpt them with both broad consequence and, at the same time, exacting precision. This accounts for their strength and agility. There's hardly any detail, but they are so alive that you expect one at any moment to flick a fly away with the swish of its tail or shake of its head' (Julian Spalding in Annette Ratuszniak (ed.), Elisabeth Frink, Catalogue Raisonné of Sculpture 1947-93, Lund Humphries, London, 2013, p.18).Emerging in force during the late 1960s and conceived as both singular entities and with riders, they are largely the result of Frink's time spent in the Camargue region of France, renowned for its semi-wild horses and rugged landscape. Upon returning to England in 1973, shortly before the present work was conceived, the artist continued to explore and develop the horse theme within her work. As with many of the other animals she chose to sculpt and by her own admission, they are more concerned with representing her emotional response to, and spiritual identification with, the subject in question rather than with literal physical form. In view of this particularly subjective approach, Frink denied being an animal sculptor in the true sense of the notion, stating her principal interest to lie 'in the spirit of the animal'. That spirit is clearly demonstrated in the present work, whereby the horse moves with grace, free from human constraint, visible from different angles and positions in a sumptuous brown patina.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

First suggested in his 1950s sculptures, in the Teddy Boy and Girl series, he moved to add ever more dramatic clothing as his work matured, leading to the billowing cloaks of the 1970s. Experimenting with the motif of the voluminous, blown cloak, as seen in his Jubilee sculptures, Chadwick created many variations on this, including with the fabric streaming out behind, swept to one side and, in the case of the present work, 'falling from the shoulders in ceremonial amplitude' (Michael Bird, Lynn Chadwick, Lund Humphries, Farnham, Surrey, 2014, p.156).Here, the female figure is shrouded in a long, draping cloak, the positioning of which lends the figure a sense of grandeur, and also of mystery. She seems to be a powerful, all-seeing presence, stately in her pose and inscrutability. As is typical with Chadwick, her female features are indicated only by the suggestion of her breasts and a triangular, block-like head, but she also seems imbued with a gracefulness that is particularly feminine. Her face is, as always, blank, with Chadwick once famously declaring 'no expression is an expression' (Lynn Chadwick: The Couple, exh.cat., Pangolin, London, 2011, p.3). He looked to body language as a more useful device for conveying attitude than facial features, which could be limiting. As ever with Chadwick, his ability to tell us so much with an incredible economy of form is notable.The angularity of Chadwick's style is writ large in this sculpture, and accentuated by the folds of the cloak. Chadwick studied closely the weight and properties of different fabrics and seems to have chosen for the present work one which hangs particularly heavily, with a weight that suggests ceremonial robes. Instead of flowing, curving fabric, we have grooved, geometric lines that accentuate the sharp posture of the shoulders and the strong stance of her legs, which are just visible. The addition of the cloak is also important in that it suggests movement, trailing as she seems to move silently forwards. Although the stance of her body appears apparently to be still, the flowing length of her cloak seems caught in movement, with dynamic ripples indicating her passage through the space. It is as though she walks among us with slow and considered steps, gliding past. As Chadwick explained, 'The important thing in my figures is always the attitude – what the figures are expressing through their actual stance. They talk, as it were, and this is something a lot of people don't understand.' (Lynn Chadwick, quoted in Edward Lucie-Smith, Chadwick, Gloucestershire, 1997, p.31). The mid-1970s brought about a subtle change in his approach to depicting the figure. As Michael Bird has written, ' 'Presences' was how he referred to his new figure sculptures; they were about being, not doing: 'I used to call them Watchers, but no longer. Sometimes they are not watching anything. What they are doing is illustrating a relationship – a physical relationship – between people'. It was through this relationship, not through purely formal or allusive qualities, that he wanted his sculptures to speak: 'If you can get their physical attitudes right you can spell out a message'' (Michael Bird, op. cit., p.147). Although Cloaked Figure IX is a single figure and not depicted, as so often in his work, with a male counterpart, her presence is undoubtedly a powerful one. Created as she is on a monumental scale, standing 185cm high, her full attitude cannot in fact be understood from one fixed viewpoint, but must instead be appreciated by walking around, taking in the full majesty of her flowing robes. Chadwick is thus encouraging the viewer themselves to actively interact with her stately, commanding presence, as though bearing witness to her regal procession, by ironically having us do the walking. Cloaked Figure IX was acquired directly from the artist by the family of the present owner, and has been enjoyed in this private collection for many years. It has also been exhibited publicly, both with the Jerwood Foundation at Witley Court and Ragley, and also most recently among the rolling hills of Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Number one from the edition of six, its appearance on the market is an exciting opportunity to acquire a monumental example of Chadwick's work, which is of museum quality.We are grateful to the Artist's Estate for their assistance in cataloguing this lot.Photography © Jonty Wilde, courtesy of Yorkshire Sculpture Park.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: AR TPAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.TP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

ROBERT GLEN (American, b. 1940) limited edition (4/6) bronze - camels drinking from a trough, signed and dated 1986, 39h x 48w x 31.5cms d, on black marble plinth.Provenance: private collection PembrokeshireAuctioneer's Note: Born in Kenya in 1940, Robert Glen’s interest in art and natural history began at an early age. At sixteen years old, he was accepted to serve an apprenticeship in taxidermy at the renowned studio of Coloman Jonas in Denver, Colorado. It was then that his interest in sculpture was born. Returning home after three years of training, he began a transition from taxidermy to sculpting animals in the European tradition of animaliers, working in various media before casting his first bronze in 1970. Since then, Robert Glen’s work has met with great success. His sculptures reside in many private collections including those of the late Queen, the Aga Khan, and the late Kenyan President Jomo Kenyatta. He has also held many one man shows in the USA, Canada, UK, Monte Carlo, Spain and South Africa. Robert Glen's public commissions include one of the largest equestrian sculptures in history, 'Mustangs of Las Colinas', in Texas.Comments: natural verdigris patina, very good overall.

On 12 June 1765 he became maître fondeur en terre et sable, having, as was customary at the time, mastered the disciplines of drawing and sculpture. Duplessis' illustrious career is mainly recognized today for having perfected the rocaille symmetrisé style. One of the most talented and influential designers and bronziers of his day, only a few pieces can be firmly attributed to him, including a pair of ormolu braziers commissioned by Jean-Baptiste Machault d'Arnouville for royal presentation in 1742 to the Ambassador of Turkey, one of which is today conserved at the Topkapi Palace Museum, Istanbul.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
