Lot 327
EWEN HENDERSON (1934-2000); an early vessel, mixed laminated stoneware and bone china clays, textured blue, white and green surface staining, made circa 1978, height 24cm. (D)Exhibited: British Studio Ceramics, Buckinghamshire County Museum, Aylesbury, 2003.Literature: Illustrated in Paul Rice, British Studio Ceramics (Crowood Press, 2002), p. 161. PR – Lucie Rie used to throw two different clays in the same pot. Ewen experimented with combining stoneware and porcelain bodies together. This was one of his first really successful examples. The 1981 exhibition I held was his second solo show.Additional InformationFiring cracks around base, otherwise appears good with no further signs of faults, damage or restorations.

POH CHAP YEAP (1927-2007); a globular stoneware vase covered in tenmoku breaking to kaki glaze, painted signature, made early 1980s, height 26cm. (D)PR – Yeap was a sensational potter. In the early 1980s he was one of the most successful potters in Britain. Liberty’s sold pots by him and by Lucie Rie – the best pieces were over £1000 and slightly higher than equivalent pots by LR. When he retired in 1985, he offered to sell me 100 pots. I was very nervous because Yeap was exceptionally difficult to deal with. I roped in a Yeap collector and agreed to buy 50 each. When I got there, I discovered that he was offering not only the remaining contents of his studio, but his personal collection. There was so much magnificent work that I ended up buying 125 pots instead of 50. Yeap has been somewhat forgotten in recent years, but I am positive that this will change – firstly because of the quality of the work and, secondly, because I think he will be one of the first Western potters that Chinese collectors will go for.Additional InformationAppears good with no obvious signs of faults, damage or restoration.

PR – I first saw Julian’s work at the RCA and exhibited some of his RCA pots (possibly his first exhibition). I still think these early pots are wonderful.Additional InformationAppears good with no obvious signs of faults, damage or restoration. This lot qualifies for Artist Resale Rights.

the bronze 38cm high, 42cm high including base approx,In his depiction of Mars, Giambologna has captured a moment in time; where Mars having sighted the enemy, halts in mid stride and readies his sword for attack. The sculptor has used this theme to explore the physique of the male nude, the focus is on his strong and muscular body and his serious gaze, the usual attributes such as his helmet or spear are unnecessary as his physical and mental strength are depicted through the body and pose alone. The model is known as the Dresden Mars, after a cast made by Giambologna for the Elector of Saxony and Erzmarschall of the Holy Roman Empire Christian I, which was first documented in 1587 in the first inventory of the Dresden Kunstkammer.For a 16th century cast of Mars, see the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, L.2017.40.3.Related Literature: C. Avery, Giambologna. The Complete Sculpture, Oxford, 1987, pp. 137, 261, no. 69.

He was foremost in the work under a very heavy artillery barrage and machine-gun fire. The latter was directed at him from a few yards distance while he was working on the cork floats. Nevertheless he persevered in his task and his example and efforts were such that the bridge which was essential to the success of the operations was very quickly completed. Immediately afterwards Sapper Archibald collapsed from gas poisoning]

Tony Hart (British, 1925-2009). 'The Pioneer Platoon Sergeant Demonstrating Demolitions in Seria', watercolour on paper. Signed and dated '97. Also marked in pencil Seria 1976. Paper size 41.5 x 29.5cm. Provenance: being sold on behalf of The Gurkha Welfare Trust (GWT) and the entirety of the hammer price for this lot will be paid to the GWT. This picture is believed to have been painted for the 7GR Regimental Journal. The piece refers to a time when 7GR were stationed in Brunei when part of their responsibility was to guard the oil fields and refineries at Seria. Tony was regularly asked to provide illustrations for the 7GR Journal (although he himself actually served with 1GR). The picture was given to the GWT by Lady Judy Martin, wife of the late Sir George Martin, legendary producer of The Beatles and the 'fifth Beatle'. George and Judy were close friends with Tony Hart and Tony would regularly donate artworks to fundraising events that the Martin's held in their garden. It is likely at such an occasion that Judy bought this artwork. The Gurkha Welfare Trust: The GWT, established in 1969, provide vital support Gurkha veterans, their families and communities in Nepal. They enable people to live with dignity by delivering essential financial and medical aid and work with local communities to provide access to clean water and education.

He received two BAFTA awards. His first, for Best Children's Educational Programme, came in 1984 for Take Hart, and he was given a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998.
