    Encouraging an appreciation and understanding of contemporary art by a wide audience and donating works by important and new artists to museums and public galleries across the UK. The Contemporary Art Society is a national charity that encourages an appreciation and understanding of contemporary art in the UK. With the help of our members and supporters we raise funds to purchase works by new artists which we give to museums and public galleries where they are enjoyed by a national audience; we broker significant and rare works of art by important artists of the twentieth century for public collections through our networks of patrons and private collectors; we establish relationships to commission artworks and promote contemporary art in public spaces; and we devise programmes of displays, artist talks and educational events. Since 1910 we have donated over 8,000 works to museums and public galleries — from Bacon, Freud, Hepworth and Moore in their day through to the influential artists of our own times — championing new talent, supporting curators, and encouraging philanthropy and collecting in the UK.

    miSSion STATemenT

    The Contemporary Art Society is a national charity that fundraises to purchase and place new works of contemporary art in museums and galleries across the UK for audiences to enjoy. Founded 100 years ago, we have played a unique and largely solitary role in building inspirational collections of modern and contemporary art for audiences – of all ages and background – across the country. In doing so, we ensure the widest possible access to the art of our times – an enduring legacy for future generations, which now exceeds more than 8,000 works gifted through the support of our members and patrons. Throughout our history, we have always used our independent curatorial eye to spot talent and to secure works for collections when they are still affordable. Damien Hirst had barely graduated from Goldsmith’s when we purchased the first work by him to enter Tate’s collection in 1991, several years before he won the Turner Prize. Countless artists who are now household names – Bacon, Freud, Gauguin, Hepworth, Matisse, Moore, Picasso, Spencer – are in regional collections because of our continuing mission to acquire works during the past century. Our Annual Fundraiser provides vital funds for our mission and in doing so supports living artists – often early in their career when they need support and recognition most – and has a direct inspirational and educational impact on millions of people who visit museums across the UK. It provides an opportunity for you, through your support of this event, to make a lasting contribution to how the story of the history of art is captured in public collections for audiences today and tomorrow. This year’s event – Wanderlust – celebrates the way in which artists travel in diverse ways in their imagination to alternative realities, sometimes travelling back in time through the history of art, to parallel universes and future worlds. Wanderlust has been devised and led with creativity and vision by one of my Trustees, Antje Géczy, who has built upon the many achievements of the previous Event Chair, Sarah Elson with the support of a Committee of leading collectors and philanthropists. Words fail to adequately express our gratitude to Antje, with whom it has been such an inspiration – and great fun – to work, and to the Event Committee for their industrious and committed support. Our annual fundraiser would not be possible without the generous and vital support of the participating artists and their galleries – the majority of whom have been so generous as to create new works for the auction in return for a commissioning fee from the Contemporary Art Society. We are indebted to them in particular. We hope you have a great evening. We rely on your generosity – so please, if you see a work you love, give it a good home. You can feel confident of making a smart purchase for a great cause!

    One hundred year ago, just at the time the Contemporary Art society was formed, the German term Wanderlust entered the English language and common usage. Originally describing a desire to travel to see the world, in subsequent decades it came to represent a state of mind – a longing or an ache to voyage away from the everyday to experience new and extraordinary worlds, even if as indeed was often the case, only in one’s imagination. It is this idea of Wanderlust – and the way in which artists travel in their imagination to alternative and parallel realities, both in the past and in the future, that we celebrate tonight. After all, it is the time honoured role of artists to open up our vistas to new ideas and experiences, creating art that offers new perspectives on the world we live in and ourselves. The funds raised tonight will be used to further the mission of the Contemporary Art Society to purchase and gift new works of contemporary art to museums and public galleries across the UK where they will be enjoyed by millions for generations to come. All of the artists participating in this evening’s auction have generously created new works for this event in return for a modest commissioning fee. We are extremely grateful to them, and to their galleries, for this vital support of our mission. In creating new works, they extend to us all an invitation to travel with them as our guides to those places only artists can voyage to, and then to take these works home and into our lives as mementos of our journeys. As Chair of the Wanderlust Event Committee, my own journey to this evening was made much more enjoyable, much more interesting and much more inspiring due to my fellow travellers on the Event Committee. I would like to thank each and every one of them for the tremendous support and guidance they have offered over the past year to bring this exciting concept to fruition. It has been a great privilege and pleasure to journey with them. I would also like to thank Paul Hobson, Director of the Contemporary Art Society, as well as Laura Eldret, Ludmilla Ivan-Zadeh and especially Dida Tait, for enabling us to realise this unique and ambitious venture. This event has been supported once again by our auction partner Sotheby’s and we would like to express our sincere thanks to them and to Olly Barker for his support of the live auction – the night simply would not be the same without his charisma and energy! Boucheron has generously sponsored our fundraising gala for the second year and we are indebted to them, as we are also to Goldlake, Oliver Wyman and Vue Entertainment. And now, I invite you to enjoy the evening and allow yourself to be guided through time and space, from the distant past to the barely imagined future, with some of the most exciting new and internationally acclaimed contemporary artists working today.

    Much of Fiona Banner’s work explores the problems and possibilities of written language. Her early work took the form of ‘wordscapes’ or ‘still films’: blow-by-blow accounts written in her own words of feature films, (whose subjects range from war to porn) or sequences of events. These pieces took the form of solid single blocks of text, often the same shape and size as a cinema screen. Banner’s current work encompasses sculpture, drawing and installation but text is still at the heart of her practice. This work references the 1966 pop hit Snoopy Vs The Red Baron. Shortly after The Baron first appeared in Schultz’s cartoon, the Florida based band The Royal Guardsmen, released their song and Snoopy’s owners promptly sued. Banner references the combative relations between Snoopy and his nemesis, and the heavy-handed copyright issues surrounding creative ownership.

    Simon Periton was first known for his intricate, subverted cut-out doilies that referenced subjects including Wallis Simpson, the Sex Pistols and Iggy Pop. If you looked closely at these images, you could see anarchy signs and punk-like thorns. His more recent works on glass, such as Automatique, retain the negative-space that is inherent to his doily works, as well as their anarchic, urban sensibility.

    Clare Woods creates paintings from her photographs of undergrowth and vegetation which are taken at night, often in desolate areas of scrub or deep woodland. Painstakingly transcribed using layers of enamel paint on aluminium, the resulting landscapes are more imagined than experienced, psychologically charged, ambiguous and disturbing.

    Conrad Shawcross’ sculptures explore subjects that lie on the borders of geometry and philosophy, physics and metaphysics. Attracted by failed quests for knowledge in the past, Shawcross often appropriates redundant theories and methodologies to create mysterious, poetic machines using a wide variety of materials and media. Time Rule is part of a unique series of works produced from the installation, Chord, 2009, a large scale work that wove a thick hawser from 324 spools of string as they moved apart along the Kingsway Tram Subway in London. Exploring the perception of time both as linear and cyclical, each point on the rope can be traced to a moment in time.

    Dutch artist Saskia Olde Wolbers works in video, combining analogue imagery with first personal fictional narration. Her videos have a science-fiction aesthetic combined with the surreal quality of dreams. Despite their futurist, computer generated appearance her films are surprisingly low-fi in their making: shot under water in handmade model sets that are dipped in paint to create unstable environments, asserting the verity of film over digital illusion. CELLULE is an approximation of the house described in J K Huysmans’ Against the Grain. It’s main character, a decadent, ailing aristocrat by the name of Des Esseintes, retreats to an isolated villa which he designs especially to live a life of contemplation. As far removed from reality as he can arrange, Des Esseintes’ villa never fully satisfies, as the space is ultimately in the hermit’s mind.

    Toby Ziegler creates painting, sculptures and installations based on angular, computer-based versions of real world scenes and found images sourced from the Internet or publications. Ziegler’s process brings the idiosyncrasies of the hand-made into confrontation with the supposed perfection of digital technologies, creating hyper-real images and objects which have undergone a process of technical dematerialisation. Objects become digital, geometric approximations of their real-life counterparts, floating in mapped spaces that feel like virtual computer environments.

    Internationally acclaimed American installation artist Jennifer Steinkamp works with video and new media to explore ideas about architectural space, motion and perception. Using digital projection to transform architectural space, in the past decade she has increasingly incorporated nature-based imagery into her work – gnarled trees that twist, turn and change seasons, rooms filled with undulating strands of flowers – creating mesmerizing environments that reference the sublime, evoking the magnitude and power of nature and bringing digital art into the mainstream of contemporary art.

    British artist Henny Acloque’s paintings draw on old masters such as Bosch, Bruegel, Durer and Ibbetsen, forensically unpicking and reassembling the layers of each image she works from. Fantastical small-scale and jewel-like landscapes open up ambiguous narratives through meticulously layered pigment and varnish, creating symbolic collages drawing upon and re-assembling art history.

    Annie Attridge works mostly in porcelain, creating bawdy and sometimes brazen pieces which explicitly work against the decorum of traditional porcelains, revealing what hides beneath the petticoat! Fantastical worlds of fleshy physicality reference the rococo curving lines of 18th century porcelain, through amalgamations of arms and legs entwined, playfully twisting around breasts and thighs.

    Sara Barker’s sculptures are formed from sparse linear structures, comprising and being comprised of varied, crooked rectilinear shapes. The narrow frames of her work are repeated, fragmented and fitted together to read as if drawings in three dimensions: outlining space and creating a sense of volume and solidity for each work with what seem to be frail and humble propositions. Barker’s work takes influence too from notions of the sentimental and romantic, often making use of quiet literary references to allude to something otherwise unspoken.

    GL Brierley creates domestic scale and larger works that overtly allude to the history of painting, especially the genre of still life and portrait painting in the 17th and 18th centuries. Abstract amalgamations of painterly surface and texture accumulate into discreet forms of representation, poised like formal arrangements in a space left undetermined but psychologically unsettling.

    Having studied as a painter, Laura Buckley’s exploration of light, gesture and form soon moved into the practice of sculpture, installation and digital reproduction. Working across media and often incorporating light and kinetic elements, her complex and disorientating compositions complicate our relationship to the processing of sensory information, forcing us to consider the subjects of her work as they are perceived, rather than as they are known.

    We are delighted to be able to launch a new limited edition by Shezad Dawood. This pack of tarot cards draws from Dawood’s film A Mystery Play where filmic sequences were based on the tradition and pastime of Tarot and the degrees of initiation that are rooted in the practice of Free Masonry, inextricably linked to legendary British occultist Aleister Crowley. Incorporating film, painting and light sculpture, Dawood’s practice creates discursive networks across parallel time frames, locations and communities. His works often include restaged and re-imagined moments appropriated from multiple cultures and histories.

    Polish artist Marcin Dudek’s sculptural practice involves employing simple, everyday materials to create a wide variety of methodically researched work, from cavernous, sculptural installations to intricate collages. Existing somewhere between organic patterns and man-made structures, his amalgam’s of adhesive tape, vinyl and cardboard speak to the fragile and tense relationship between human beings and their natural environment.

    Ayan Farah’s work is resolutely centred on painting, but also includes a range of other media such as photography, video and sound. Often consisting of a broad field of colours, her paintings engage with the heritage of mid-twentieth-century abstract painting. She also draws on the immediate environment, creating works that are bleached by the sun and stained by incidental light. Many of these works nod towards the atmospheric light of northern Sweden, where Farah spent much of her childhood.

    Alistair Frost uses imagery derived from making generic searches for ‘ClipArt’ on the Internet, then making pictures of pictures. The imagery used is essentially a symbol, a stand-in for something else or ‘the real thing’ painted in broad strokes and a lightly washed, subdued palette – neither abstract nor representational, simply a collection of shapes, colours and compositions. Frost’s artworks possess a subtle playfulness and a decidedly optimistic aura that sets viewers at ease even as they grasp at the intent behind the images.

    Rachel Goodyear’s intricate and unsettling drawings represent interior conditions – psychological or emotional states – through ambiguous narratives. Protagonists, often female figures, in self-abusive situations, or captive in moments of physical entrapment, enclosure or flight, incorporating symbolic, sometimes ritualised relationships with animals like deer, wolves and octopuses make up her extraordinary fantastical world.

    Noémie Goudal’s tableau-like photographs reveal the beauty of abandoned worlds. In her exhibition Haven Her Body Was, 2012, she has photographed a variety of real and man-made ‘islands’: World War II bunkers at sea, emerging like crystal from the briny water; rocky outcrops looking out like sentries; the inner hull of a half-submerged steel ship. Her photography is both beautifully realised and intelligently self-aware.

    Raphael Hefti often deliberately misapplies scientific processes to create arresting works across a range of media, from photography to sculpture. Lycopodium is a colourful photogram made by burning the spores of the eponymous moss against photographic paper. The spores of the Lycopdium moss are highly flammable, and it is known as ‘witches’ powder’ where it is grows naturally in Sweden. The work thus connects photography, science and magic in an explosive, alchemical image.

    Sophie von Hellermann’s canvasses take on the grandest tradition of them all: Western figurative painting. She does so with wit and not a little subversion. Her work is a sustained dismantling of the ponderous masculine mode of painting that has dominated its history – until very recently. Her stratagem is to paint quickly to catch quick-changing visions of a range of themes from the domestic to the epic.

    Oliver Laric’s work explores how the copy, the bootleg, and the remix have played a part in both historic and contemporary image cultures. His research, which is intuitive and idiosyncratic, involves appropriating objects, videos, and sculptures. Laric’s work blurs boundaries between the authentic and the inauthentic, the original and its subsequent reflections and reconfigurations.

    Lorna Macintyre usually presents her individual photographic works and sculptural-assemblages in installations, but they can also operate on their own. When shown together, they are joined not by any overbearing theme, but rather by Macintyre’s own associative logic (her references frequently come from literary sources), and certain formal associations: angular shapes and hard-edged geometries.

    Ryan Mosley’s paintings explore figurative and folk imagery. But he does so through a contemporary sensibility that takes images as fragmented and identity as mutable. Bearded figures wearing top hats or smoking old-fashioned pipes find themselves lost in a painterly realm in which almost anything might happen. Jeremiah’s Head with Jeremiah’s Boot, for example, may depict a decapitated prophet – or else a figure improbably wearing his own boot on his shoulder. The puzzle is part of the delight of such works.

    Sarah Pickstone’s works fuse figurative and (often watery) landscape elements. The title of her work, Love is Everything. One Looks for It, is taken from poet Stevie Smith’s novel The Holiday (1941). It also nods to Pickstone’s earlier painting Stevie Smith and the Willow (2011), which won the John Moores Painting Prize in 2012.

    Laure Prouvost makes madcap single-channel video works that are often surreal. They engage and subvert a history of video art from the 1970s onwards, in which artists have seemingly confided personal secrets to the viewer. Many of Prouvost’s painted ‘sign’ works draw on this anarchic sensibility, deliberately including misspellings and self-referential declamations.

    Ged Quinn makes trompe l’oeil paintings in a variety of historic styles, from the pastoral to the still life. These deliberately anachronistic images are undercut by a contemporary collage aesthetic, in which improbable elements take centre stage. The title of the work refers to a case study from Sigmund Freud of a man who dreamed his son was on fire as a way of understanding how dreams relate to wish fulfilment. In this print, a kitten is associated with the martyrdom of Christ in a surreal and unsettling image.

    Ged Quinn makes trompe l’oeil paintings in a variety of historic styles, from the pastoral to the still life. These deliberately anachronistic images are undercut by a contemporary collage aesthetic, in which improbable elements take centre stage. The title of I Like America and America Likes Me draws on a 1974 work by Joseph Beuys, in which the German artist temporarily lived in a cage with a coyote at the René Block Gallery in New York. Quinn’s work humorously recasts Beuys’s coyote as a domestic dog on whose side appears a map of America.

    Veronica Smirnoff is a British artist of Russian origin. Her paintings reference Russian and Greek icon paintings as well as works of the Italian Renaissance by Andrea Mantegna and Piero della Francesca. She uses traditional materials and techniques such as gesso, wood, and paints made from ground-up semi-precious stones mixed with egg yolk. The wooden supporting boards are made of oak in Russian monasteries, and have been blessed.

    David Brian Smith’s paintings typically represent a solitary figure or figures in psychedelic and symbolic landscapes, alluding to spiritual or heightened emotional interiors, and richly painted on herringbone linen supports. Born into a farming family which had been working the lands of Shropshire for generations, the Smiths had to give up the farm after his father’s death in 2006 due to financial hardship, making the image of the shepherd tending his flock, which recurs throughout his work, a poignant autobiographical motif.

    Dolly Thompsett’s multi-layered paintings engage in the visual language of the sublime and exotic: dramatic, vertiginous landscapes, chasms and impenetrable thickets of jungle. Thompsett’s latest epic landscapes are often in portrait-format (as in traditional Chinese painting). This verticality allows the viewer’s eye to plummet into the watery darkness, and up into the arched, Piranesi-like vaults. The atmosphere is heavy, redolent and baroque.

    Mimei Thompson’s paintings are caught between abstraction and the landscape: works that are filled with painterly motifs suggesting rocks, vegetation, human and animal forms. Her recent work employs the motif of the cave, to suggest (as in Plato) the unconscious capacities of the human mind. The protean rock-forms in the cave might be compared to emerging, nascent ideas. Because nothing here is fully invoked, the viewer is able to project his or her own associations onto the implied forms.

    Francis Upritchard’s sculptural objects and figures suggest artefacts unearthed in an archaeological dig. Her off-kilter archaic objects might be utensils or objects from some ancient or contemporary cult. The undeniable humour (which sometimes verges on the psychedelic) of these works emerges from the evident fakery: they are knowing facsimiles that riff with the meanings and narratives we impose on objects both old and new.

By creating works based on multi-point perspective (rather than the dominant Western single-point perspective) she seeks to draw our attention to how we visually apprehend spaces and surfaces.
