FRANK AUERBACH (B. 1931)From the Studios II 1992 oil on board43.2 by 40.6 cm. 17 by 16 in. This work was executed in 1992.Footnotes:Provenance Marlborough Fine Art Ltd., London Acquired directly from the above by the present owner Exhibited London, Marlborough Fine Art Ltd., Frank Auerbach: Recent Works, 1997, n.p., no. 36, illustrated in colour Literature William Feaver, Frank Auerbach, New York 2009, p. 318, no. 704, illustrated in colourWilliam Feaver, Frank Auerbach, New York 2022, p. 360, no. 704, illustrated in colourFrom the Studios II is a strikingly fresh and beautiful example of Auerbach's inimitably personal and deeply emotive body of North London cityscapes. Rendered in a majestic and jewel-like palette of green, red, yellow and ochre pigment, the intensity of the artist's response to the subject is gloriously brought to life through Auerbach's bravura handling of oil paint, for which he is so well known. Executed in 1992 as part of a suite of paintings on the same subject, the composition focuses on a view of Auerbach's studio that the artist encountered day in, day out. He journeyed to the studio every day since he first took up residence in a Victorian building in Camden over sixty years ago. It is a place with a long history of art: before Auerbach, the building had been used by painters Frances Hodgkins and Leon Kossoff. This painting shows us a place that is obviously dear to Auerbach's heart, the approach along a narrow, unassuming alleyway to his cluttered, paint-flecked studio space. First capturing its image in 1977, this is a subject that the artist has repeatedly returned to throughout his oeuvre. And yet each version has its own unique qualities, its own distinct methods and manners. While hardly a picturesque spot in any conventional sense, the artist locates beauty in this messy corner of a busy city.The considerable complexities of colour and composition apparent in this present work distinguish the painting from previous paintings of this scene. Compared to the predominantly dark hues of the earlier To the Studios series executed between 1979-80 where, principally, blues are set against strokes of purple and sombre hues, the palette seen here is particularly bold, ranging from the liberal use of an acid yellow sky, to arresting juxtapositions of red and green pigments. Space and form emerge from a dense lattice of lines and patches of colour are built up and scraped back in rich layers of impasto. The tension between Auerbach's treatment of the surface as a material object and the image's illusion of three-dimensional depth invigorates the entire composition.With two works from the series owned by Tate, London, the The Studios series is unanimously considered one of the finest series in Auerbach's oeuvre: these works herald the unmistakable 'all-at-onceness' of Auerbach's vision across an exquisite range of captured moments. The present work draws upon Walter Sickert's cityscapes of North London, as well as the quality of 'individuality, independence, fullness and perpetual motion' within the landscapes of Auerbach's mentor and teacher David Bomberg (the artist in: Frank Auerbach, 'Frank Auerbach in conversation with Catherine Lampert', Frank Auerbach, London 1978, p. 8). Hailed as one of the most influential painters of the 20th century, Frank Auerbach was born in Berlin, Germany in 1931. Arriving in England as a Jewish refugee in 1939, he attended St Martin's School of Art, London, and studied with David Bomberg in night classes at Borough Polytechnic, before culminating his final studies at the Royal College of Art and has since remained in London. His first exhibition was held at London's Beaux Arts Gallery in 1956. Initially he was criticised for his thick application of paint, but found support from the critic David Sylvester, who identified the exhibition as one of the most exciting and impressive first one-man shows by an English painter since Francis Bacon. By the early 1960s, Auerbach had established himself among the ranks of what would later become known as the 'School of London', a group that included Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon. The latter, in particular, shared much of Auerbach's sensibility: the two artists favoured painterly intuition over carefully studied precision, viewing painting as a means of pinning down human sensation. However, despite his affiliation with the School of London artists and comparisons to Francis Bacon, Auerbach also sought to engage in the explicit dialogue with the art historical canon, and cites numerous old and modern masters as influences, including Rembrandt, Rubens, Titian, Constable and Picasso. Auerbach would continue to exhibit regularly at the Beaux-Arts Gallery until 1963. From 1965 he first exhibited at the Marlborough Gallery, and today his works have become some of the most internationally collected of a living artist. Indeed, his career-defining 2015-2016 retrospective at London's Tate Britain demonstrated not only the variety of the artist's works, but also his global following, and included works gathered from private collections across the world. From the Studios II presents a unity of architectonic structure, organic brushwork and luscious combinations of vibrant, rich hues. Through brilliant colour and a faultless exhibition of Auerbach's charismatic painterly gesture, this present work carries a powerful, personal and emotional charge. The work encapsulates a seminal exposition of Auerbach's thoroughly compelling Studio series, that is completely fresh to the market having remained in the same Private Collection since the early 1990s.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

[BACON FRANCIS]: (1909-1992) Irish-born British painter. A good, large colour 13 x 19 (32.5 x 48 cm) photograph of Bacon by photographer Jacques Saraben, the image depicting the artist in a semi-profile head and shoulders pose. Signed (‘Jacques Saraben’) by the photographer to the lower white border and further titled in his hand ‘Francis Bacon, Reece Mews, 25 Mars 1972’ (printed later). Also with his oval credit stamp to the verso. VGJacques Saraben (1939- ) French photographer and painter.7 Reece Mews in South Kensington, London, served as Bacon’s studio from October 1961 until his death in April 1992.

In 1998 the entire contents of the studio were donated to the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin where they were meticulously reconstructed.
Robert Colquhoun, British 1914-1962 - A Drunk Man looks at the Thistle, 1962; ink on paper, signed indistinctly lower left 'Colquhoun', 39 x 48.3 cm (ARR) Provenance: the Collection of Bernard Sheridan (1927-2007) since at least 1976 and thence by descent Exhibited: The Scottish Arts Council, Edinburgh, 'The Need to Draw', 1976 touring exhibition, no.64 (label attached to the reverse of the frame) Note: according to the note on the partial label attached to the reverse of the frame, this work is amongst the last works that the artist made before his untimely death in 1962. The subject of the work is based on the title of a poem by Scottish writer Hugh McDiarmid, published in 1926. The poem is written in a distinct Scottish dialect and is considered one of the major modernist works of the 20th Century. This extraordinary image demonstrates the power at the heart of Robert Colquhoun's work, marking his importance alongside his contemporaries Lucien Freud and Francis Bacon in Post-War British painting. Drawing on his own personal experience and understanding of humanity, here Colquhoun has created an image that is at once statuesque and fragile, drawing on his Scottish heritage. Colquhoun was a central figure in the artistic world of war-time London, alongside his life-partner Robert MacBryde and their friends John Craxton and John Minton. Colquhoun and MacBryde (or 'The Two Roberts' as they were called) shot to fame under the patronage of Peter Watson, with important exhibitions of their work held at The Lefevre Gallery, The Whitechapel Gallery and numerous international mixed exhibitions. Most recently their work was the subject of a major retrospective at The National Galleries of Scotland in 2014-15. The artist's style was strongly influenced by his friend and neighbour in Soho during the 1940s, Polish artist Jankel Adler. Adler had travelled to Glasgow, where Colquhoun studied, as a refugee during the war and became a central figure of European modernism in Britain. In London, Colquhoun would develop from Adler a post-Cubist approach to the human form, breaking down features to create a heightened sense of expression.

Lacks the dedication leaf, as often: it was cancelled due to the death of William III before the publication of the work. 2) The binding of this work appears to be a remboitage, in which a text other than that originally present has been inserted: the headbands are fresh, the book is not quite proportionate to the corners, and the gilt lettering is superimposed upon some earlier blind impressions. This sophistication may well be the work of the accomplice of T.J. Wise. 3) Wing C5265.
