"Edward Weston was an influential American photographer known for his pioneering work in modernist photography and his precise and intimate exploration of form, texture, and detail. He was born on March 24, 1886, in Highland Park, Illinois, and passed away on January 1, 1958. Weston's career as a photographer began in the early 1900s, and he became associated with the modernist movement in photography during the 1920s and 1930s. He was part of the Group f/64, a collective of photographers that advocated for sharp focus, precise detail, and capturing the inherent beauty of everyday objects. One of Weston's notable contributions to photography was his exploration of natural forms, such as shells, vegetables, and landscapes. He emphasized the abstract qualities of these subjects, capturing their shapes, textures, and tonal range in exquisite detail. Weston's approach to photography was characterized by his use of large-format cameras and his mastery of lighting and composition. Weston's photographs often featured close-ups and tightly framed compositions, isolating the subject and allowing viewers to appreciate its intricate details. His work showcased a meticulous attention to form and a sensitivity to the play of light and shadow, creating visually striking and evocative images.Throughout his career, Weston produced a vast body of work, including portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and nudes. His photographs are known for their technical precision and their ability to transform ordinary subjects into objects of beauty and contemplation. Edward Weston's contributions to photography have had a lasting impact on the medium.

Robert Mapplethorpe was an American photographer known for his provocative and controversial black-and-white images, often exploring themes of sexuality, identity, and the human body. He was born on November 4, 1946, in Floral Park, New York, and passed away on March 9, 1989, in Boston, Massachusetts. Mapplethorpe initially studied painting and sculpture before turning to photography in the 1970s. He gained recognition for his work documenting the New York City art scene, capturing portraits of artists, musicians, and celebrities. However, Mapplethorpe is perhaps best known for his explicit and highly stylized photographs that pushed the boundaries of eroticism and explored the beauty of the human form. His subjects included both male and female nudes, BDSM imagery, and homoerotic compositions. Mapplethorpe's photographs were often characterized by their precise lighting, meticulous composition, and a sense of both beauty and transgression. His images challenged societal norms and confronted taboos, sparking debates around censorship and artistic freedom. Mapplethorpe's work became a lightning rod for controversies, especially during the 1980s when his photographs were exhibited in prominent galleries and museums. His inclusion of explicit sexual content led to heated debates about public funding for the arts and issues of obscenity. Despite the controversies, Mapplethorpe's artistic vision and technical mastery were widely acknowledged. In addition to his controversial works, Mapplethorpe also captured still lifes, flowers, and portraits, demonstrating his versatility as a photographer. His portraits often depicted notable figures from the worlds of art, fashion, and celebrity, and he employed a similar sense of precision and formalism in these images. Mapplethorpe's career was tragically cut short due to complications from HIV/AIDS, and his death at the age of 42 had a profound impact on the art world. His legacy as a provocative and boundary-pushing artist endures, and his photographs continue to be exhibited and discussed in the context of contemporary art and the exploration of human sexuality and identity.

"Claude Monet (1840-1926) was a renowned French painter and a leading figure in the Impressionist art movement. Here's some information about Claude Monet: 1. Impressionism: Monet is best known for his contributions to the Impressionist movement, which sought to capture the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere in outdoor scenes. Impressionist painters aimed to depict their subjects with loose brushwork, vibrant colors, and an emphasis on the ever-changing qualities of light. 2. Plein Air Painting: Monet was a proponent of plein air painting, which involved working directly in outdoor settings rather than in a studio. He believed in capturing the immediate visual experience of a scene and would often paint en plein air, observing and recording the effects of light and color directly from nature. 3. Water Lilies and Giverny: One of Monet's most iconic series of works is his paintings of water lilies. He created numerous paintings featuring his water garden in Giverny, a village in Normandy, France, where he lived for many years. The serene and contemplative depictions of the water lilies and the play of light and reflections on the water became synonymous with Monet's style. 4. Series and Seriality: Monet was known for creating series of paintings that explored the same subject matter under different lighting conditions and perspectives. His famous series include Haystacks, Rouen Cathedral, Poplars, and of course, Water Lilies. Through these series, Monet sought to convey the ever-changing qualities of light and atmosphere. 5. Influence and Legacy: Monet's innovative approach to painting and his dedication to capturing the essence of nature had a profound influence on the development of modern art. His use of broken brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and emphasis on capturing the fleeting effects of light paved the way for subsequent art movements, such as Fauvism and Abstract Expressionism. 6. Major Works: Some of Monet's notable works include ""Impression, Sunrise"" (which inspired the name of the Impressionist movement), ""Water Lilies"" series, ""Rouen Cathedral"" series, ""Haystacks"" series, ""Poplars"" series, and ""The Japanese Bridge."" Claude Monet's artistic legacy continues to be celebrated and appreciated worldwide. His vibrant and evocative paintings not only captured the essence of the natural world but also revolutionized the way art was perceived and created in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Measures 24 x 36..Frame measures 40.75 x 28.75.Sold ""after"" Monet.

2003 London Taxi International TXII Gold Taxicab Registration no. LF03 PPZ Chassis no. SCRT4B6ME3C153394•First owned by Sultan Qaboos of Oman•Many special features•Fully serviced annually with service and MoT history (up to 2020/2021)Trading as 'The London Taxi Company', LTI (London Taxis International) manufactures and sells London's famous back taxicabs. For many years the classic London 'black cab' was the Austin FX3, introduced in 1948 and built by Carbodies of Coventry, which in 1958/59 was superseded by the Austin FX4. Manganese Bronze Holdings took over Carbodies in 1973 and later reorganised the taxi-making part of its business as LTI. By the mid-1990s the ageing FX4's replacement was long overdue and a new design - the TX1 - was submitted to London 'cabbies' for their approval. As well as an improved interior, the TX1 incorporated several design cues linking it with its much-loved predecessors and was accepted as continuing the marque's traditions. In 2002 it was replaced by the TXII, which used the 2.4-litre Ford Duratorq diesel engine as found in various 'Blue Oval' products and the Land Rover Defender. Offered here is a 20-year-old purpose-built London taxicab that has covered a mere 1,100 miles from new (an average of 76 miles annually). The vehicle was owned from new by Sultan Qaboos of Oman as part of his vast vehicle collection in London. It was first registered in 2003 and is the London Taxi International TXII Gold model. This was the top-of-the-range model at the time and has the advantage of full air-conditioning front and rear; walnut dashboard; chrome grille and door handles; intercom system, etc. At further expense a centre console was fitted in the rear to house a fully remote, high quality Alpine sound system, and an occasional fold-down passenger seat in the front. The rear compartment also boasts floor lighting and a fold-down wheelchair access ramp.This taxicab looks, drives, and smells brand new. Kept in dehumidified storage since new, it has had occasional use only yet has always been serviced annually and maintained regardless of how infrequently used. The current vendor purchased the taxicab at Bonhams' MPH auction at Bicester in March 2021 (Lot 360) since when it has continued to be carefully stored. The taxi comes with service and MoT history (up to 2020/2021) and as one would expect is said to run and drive beautifully. Offered with a V5C document and Certificate of Conformity.

1965 Bentley S3 Saloon Registration no. EYA 338C Chassis no. B372NN Engine no. BHN186•One of 1,286 made•Present ownership since 1986•One former keeper•Restored 2017-2018Facing increasing competition from faster rivals and with development of its ageing six-cylinder engine nearing its end, Rolls-Royce had turned to V8 power as the 1960s approached. The V8 was, of course, the predominant power unit in Rolls-Royce's most important export market - the USA - so it was only natural that the Crewe firm would study the best American designs - principally those of Chrysler and Cadillac - for inspiration. Introduced in the autumn of 1959, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 appeared externally unchanged from their 'Cloud and S-Type predecessors, though the duo's performance was considerably enhanced by the new 6,230cc aluminium-alloy V8 engine. Although wider and shorter than the 'six' it replaced, the new power unit fitted relatively easily within the engine bay, relocation of the steering box from inside to outside of the chassis frame being the most obvious alteration to the previous arrangements. Externally the new models appeared virtually unchanged, while beneath the skin Rolls-Royce's own four-speed automatic transmission was now the only one on offer and power steering had been standardised. In 1962 the new V8 engine appeared in improved form in the Bentley S3 and its Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III equivalent, incorporating larger carburettors, a new distributor, and raised compression ratio. There were many other changes made to the S3/Cloud III, the most obvious being the adoption of a four-headlamp lighting arrangement, the absence of sidelights from the wing tops, and a slightly lower radiator shell. Inside the new models featured revised accommodation with separate front seats and increased room for rear passengers. The last mainstream Bentley to employ a separate chassis, the S3 remained in production until superseded by the unitary construction T-Series in late 1965, by which time 1,286 cars had been made compared with 2,556 of the equivalent Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III. This Bentley S3 saloon was acquired in 1986 having had one former keeper. Accompanying paperwork consists mainly of numerous invoices issued during 2017 and 2018 relating to what appears to be a no-expense-spared restoration (inspection recommended). Described by the vendor as in good condition throughout, the car is offered with an original handbook and a V5C document. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
