* DAVID SHRIGLEY OBE (SCOTTISH b. 1968),DO NOT FUCK ABOUT WITH IT, I MEAN NO DISRESPECT, I'VE RECEIVED A CLONK TO THE HEAD and ANY DIRECTION IS FINE limited edition lithograph printed on 200g Munken Lynx paper by Narayana Press in Denmark, from an edition of 250 image size 70cm x 50cm each, overall size 73cm x 43cm eachFramed and under glass (4).
* HANNAH FRANK (SCOTTISH 1908 - 2008),HEADwood engraving on paper, dated 1932 in the plate, signed in pencilimage size 10cm x 8cm, overall size 28cm x 24cmMounted, framed and under glass.Comment: an extremely rare wood engraving by Hannah Frank and believed to be the first offered at auction anywhere.Note: Since McTear's first promoted Hannah Frank's spectacular work in 2011, the prices for her ever more rare signed prints have continued to rise with many current prices being more than five times higher than those achieved barely a decade ago. The latest UK auction record figure for a single signed lithograph was most recently achieved (twice) in our auction on 24th October 2021 and now stands at £820 (hammer). Note 2: Hannah Frank was the last living link to the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau period. She studied at the Glasgow School of Art and Glasgow University in the 1920`s and her haunting pen and ink drawings have been exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal Scottish Academy and Royal Glasgow Institute. A series of lithographs of some of her 90 drawings were made in the 1960's and again in the 1980's to satisfy the demand for her work after exhibitions in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Only a relatively few of these prints were hand signed (in pencil) by Hannah and it's understood that only one print was ever editioned (numbered) in a conventional manner. A major exhibition at the Royal Glasgow Institute in 2006 brought her work to a new generation of admirers and received considerable press coverage. Her work toured for five years in the UK and the USA culminating in an exhibition at Glasgow University which opened on her 100th birthday 23rd August 2008. After her death, she was awarded a posthumous Honorary Doctorate at Glasgow University and Glasgow City Council`s Lord Provost`s Award For Art (2009).
* TOM PHILLIPS CBE RA (BRITISH 1937 - 2022),BRUNNHILDElimited edition lithograph on paper, signed and numbered 35/275image size 40cm x 58cm, overall size 50cm x 68cm Framed and under glass.Note: Tom Phillips attended drawing classes and lectures on Renaissance iconography at Ruskin alongside his studies in English at St Catherine's College, Oxford. Taught by Frank Auerbach in 1961 at Camberwell School of Art, Phillips's first solo exhibition in London was in 1965 at the Artists International Association Gallery, followed by an exhibition with Angela Flowers in 1970. Phillips taught at Bath Academy of Art, Ipswich and Wolverhampton Art College between 1965 and 1972, and in 1969 he won the John Moores Prize. In 1966 Phillips resolved to dedicate himself to making art out of the first secondhand book he could find for threepence on Peckham Rye. Thus began A Humument, the longest of Phillips's extended serial projects. A Humument is a radical 'treatment' of a forgotten Victorian novel by means of collage, cut-up ornament and other techniques, creating new works of art and poetic text from the original pages.. On the fiftieth anniversary of its inception in 2016, Phillips completed the sixth and final version of this work – each version with successively more pages reworked, until his original work had itself been completely transformed. Phillips received many commissions for site-specific artworks including tapestries for St Catherine's, Oxford, sculpture for the Imperial War Museum, street mosaics for his native Peckham, and ornament and memorials for sacred spaces, including both Westminster Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. Phillips's portrait subjects have included Samuel Beckett as well as friends such as Iris Murdoch, Sir Harrison Birtwistle, Richard Morphet, and the Monty Python team. In 1989, he became only the second artist to have a retrospective of his portraits at the National Portrait Gallery. Fifteen years later, he also went on to curate We Are The People, an exhibition at the NPG of his large collection of postcard photographic portraits. Phillips received the Frances Williams Memorial Prize in 1983 for his illustration and new translation of Dante's Inferno. He also made a TV version of the Inferno with Peter Greenaway which won them jointly as directors the Italia prize. Elected to the Royal Academy in 1984, Phillips went on to chair the Academy's Library and its Exhibition Committee from 1995 to 2007, He curated the RA’s exhibition Africa: The Art of a Continent (1995) which travelled to the Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin and the Guggenheim, New York. Serving as a Trustee for the National Portrait Gallery and British Museum, Phillips was made a Commander of the British Empire for services to the Arts in 2002. In 2005, he was appointed Slade Professor of Fine Art at the University of Oxford, and between 2005 and 2011 he was invited as an annual Director's Visitor to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Oxford's Bodleian Library took over Tom Phillips's archive and with them he published his postcard collection in a series of books. Phillips's collaboration with Tarik O'Regan on an operatic version of Conrad's Heart of Darkness, for which he provided the libretto, was premiered at the Royal Opera House's Linbury Theatre at the end of 2011. Tom Phillips lived and worked in London.

FRANCIS BACON (Dublin, 1909- Madrid, 1992)."Study for a Portrait of John Edwards", 1986.Lithograph, copy 165/180.Signed and justified in pencil.Provenance: acquired at the Galería Alejandro Sales, Barcelona, in 2004. Presents label on the back of the Gallery.Measurements: 67.9 x 49 cm; 97 x 70 cm (frame).Francis Bacon is the author of some of the most striking and unprecedented paintings in contemporary art. His style, obsessive, tormented and heartbreaking, is a clear document of the harshness that Europe experienced after the Second World War. His works are currently fetching stratospheric figures at international auctions, making him one of the most sought-after artists on the art market. A reflection of this is the triptych "Three Studies by Lucian Freud (1969)", which in 2013 reached a record sale price of 142 million dollars at public auction, making it one of the three most expensive works in history. Some of his works can be seen in the most important art galleries in the world, such as the Tate Britain in London (which has one of the artist's most extensive collections), the MET and the Moma in New York, the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Museo Reina Sofía."Portrait of John Edwards" defines in the most emphatic terms what Bacon's art was all about. Its protagonist is John Edwards, a young Londoner whom Bacon considered his only "genuine friend" and therefore heir to his expensive fortune. This inheritance consisted, in addition to real estate, of a number of paintings valued at 16 million euros. The two personalities met in 1976 in a shop in Soho, and soon began a strong friendship whose bonds were reflected in the more than 20 canvases that Edwards starred in. As in the present work, Bacon immortalised his close friend as a discomposed, isolated, disturbing and spiritual figure who, far from seeking a concrete resemblance to the character, delved into the spirituality of the person depicted. It reveals the abstraction, fragmentation and distortion that defined Bacon's style, a consequence of the life events that made his existence a fervent time bomb waiting to explode.Born in Dublin to English parents, Francis Bacon began painting as a self-taught artist. When he was only 17, the Paul Rosemberg gallery opened its doors to the painter. There he became acquainted with the work of Picasso, an artist he would admire throughout his career. Like Picasso, other painters made an impression on Bacon's work: Velázquez (whose version of Pope Innocent X he painted, producing at least 40 "popes") and Nicolas Poussin, whose "The Massacre of the Innocents" aroused intense emotion in him. In 1945 he exhibited in London, together with the English artists Henry Moore and Graham Sutherland, his painting "Three Studies for Figures at the Foot of a Crucifixion", a triptych which, according to Bacon himself, marked the starting point of his career. By 1945 he had developed his own unmistakable style. In 1949, the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MOMA) bought an impressive work of his entitled "Painting 146". In 1956 he was invited to represent Britain at the Venice Biennale alongside Ben Nicholson and Lucian Freud. With his work, Bacon decided that the subject of his paintings would be both life in death and death in life. He sought to express his vital condition, which was also linked to his self-destructive side. Michel Leiris suggested to him that masochism, sadism and similar manifestations were really just ways of feeling more human. Portraits and self-portraits constitute an important part of his paintings. Bacon made portraits without poses taken from life, developed from photographs. He portrayed his intimate companions and friends as well as famous people: Peter Lacy, George Dyer and John Edwards, Henrietta Moraes, Isabel Rawsthorne, Muriel Belcher, Lucian Freud, Peter Beard and Michel Leiris, as well as Hitler, Pius XII and Mick Jagger. Some of his works can be seen in the world's most important art galleries, such as the Tate Britain in London (which has one of the artist's most extensive collections), the MET and the Moma in New York, the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Museo Reina Sofía.
MIGUEL BERROCAL (Villanueva de Algaidas, Malaga, 1933 - Antequera, Malaga, 2006)."Figura acostada", 1987.Lithograph, copy 76/100.Signed, dated and justified by hand.Size: 56 x 75 cm; 64 x 82 cm (frame).Berrocal began his training at the School of Arts and Crafts in Madrid, as a pupil of Ángel Ferrant. He then went on to the San Fernando School of Fine Arts, where he was a pupil of Ramón Stolz. He complemented his training with work as a draughtsman in the studio of the architect Casto Fernández Shaw and as an assistant to several architects in Rome between 1952 and 1954. During his stay in Paris in 1955, he finally decided to devote himself to sculpture. His early works show the influence of Chillida, while at the same time denoting his preference for articulated and detachable forms in bronze. The difficulty involved in making each of his sculptures led him to decide to produce them in series. With this idea in mind, he produced two hundred copies of the sculpture "Maria de la O", for which he received the prize for sculpture at the Paris Biennale and which was later acquired by the MOMA in New York. In 1966 he settled permanently in Verona, and since 1968 he has alternated his work between monumental and small-scale works. Together with several gallery owners, he founded the Società Multicettera, the first industry of small sculptures. He has exhibited in Italy, France, Germany, Spain and the United States, received the gold medal of the Bronze of Padua, the Grand Prize of Honour at the Brazil Biennial, and was named Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government. He has sculptures in public places in Korea, Bordeaux, Denmark and Switzerland, as well as in various places in Spain. He is represented in the Museums of Modern Art in New York and Paris, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, the Kunsthalle in Hamburg, the Juan March Foundation in Madrid, the National Gallery in Rome and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
