INFORMATION FOR BUYERS1 Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms.

All sales are conducted on our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection and normally accompany catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully understand.

2 Agency. As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller.

3 Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive.

4 Buyers Premium. The Conditions of Sale oblige buyers to pay a buyer’s premium at 25.2% inclusive of VAT on the hammer price of each lot purchased.

5 VAT. (†) indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate (presently 20%) on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer’s premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. The double symbol (**) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer’s premium). Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax.

6 Conditions of lots. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Intending buyers have ample opportunity form inspection of goods and neither the seller nor we as the auctioneers accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order. However, in specified circumstances lots mis-described because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is a 2 week limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale).

7 Condition reports. We may be able to assist buyers unable to view by providing a condition report, but these reports are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending buyers are strongly encouraged to view. (Please see our Conditions of Sale). All sizes are approximate.

8 Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if you need help.

9 Bidding. Bidders may be required to register before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification may be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding.

10 Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers’ premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or Email.

11 Methods of Payment. As a general rule any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted. Please discuss with our Office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment are envisaged (except cash). We accept card payments provided that your registered address is the same as the card address. There is a surcharge of 2.5% plus VAT on credit cards but no charge on debit cards.

12 Collection and storage. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected promptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying storage charges which are currently set at £5 plus VAT per lot per day.

A unique Kipling family archive which has come through Helen MacDonald, who was a great niece of Rudyard Kipling's mother Alice MacDonald. Alice's three sisters were married to Edward Burne Jones, Edward Poynter (Artists) and Alfred Baldwin (father of 20th century British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin). Passed from Helen MacDonald by gift to the present vendor.

The archive includes letters, photographs and personal items, some of them belonging to the author’s troubled ‘forgotten sister’. Much of the collection is previously unseen and was inherited by Helen MacDonald, great niece of Kipling's mother Alice MacDonald, about whom a future Viceroy of India would say "Dullness and Mrs. Kipling cannot exist in the same room”.

Alice married Kipling's father John Lockwood Kipling and moved to India in 1865. Her three sisters married respectively the artists Edward Burne-Jones and Edward Poynter and Alfred Baldwin, father of the Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin. From Helen MacDonald (Rudyard Kipling's first cousin once removed) the archive passed by gift to the present vendor.

Most poignant is an autograph letter to Kipling’s brother-in-law John Fleming about Kipling’s sister, Alice (‘Trix) being certified insane.

RUDYARD KIPLING ARCHIVE

Kipling and Trix were both born in India but his days of “strong light and darkness” in Bombay ended when, following the custom in British India, at the age of five, he and his three-year-old sister were sent to England. They lived unhappily with a foster couple in Southsea, who boarded children of British nationals serving in India.

Written on paper “Hotel du Parc & sa dependance Hotel Ibrahim Pacha” in the French Pyrenees, on Mar 13 1911, Kipling notes that the objection to Trix being certified is sentimental “but none the less jars on me”.

The letter is estimated at £300-500, as is Trix’s folding paper fan, which she used like an autograph album. It dates from 1891-1895 and is signed in ink by Rudyard Kipling, Stanley Baldwin, Edward Burne-Jones and his wife Georgiana and Edward Poynter.

Kipling’s father, John Lockwood Kipling was an accomplished artist, illustrating many of his son’s books. The archive includes a panel, hand-painted by Lockwood Kipling depicting a vase of flowers and birds among scrolling foliage. It is referred to on Page 383 of 'Trix, Kipling's Forgotten Sister' by Lorna Lee, the caption reading: “The decorative panel (varnished paper) by Lockwood which Trix used as a firescreen. Trix always wanted this and it was collected from “The Gables” at Tisbury by Jack Fleming (Trix's husband ) after Lockwood's death.” It must subsequently have passed to Helen MacDonald when Trix died.

Two pen and ink drawings by Lockwood Kipling titled respectively 'The Ruby Prince' showing a man surrounded by cobras, signed with initials, the other 'The Snake Woman', each measuring 7" x 4.5", are together estimated at £50-100.

An autograph letter from Kipling to Trix dated December 15 1935 is on four sides of headed paper from Bateman’s in Burwash, Sussex, the Jacobean house where Kipling and his wife, Carrie, lived from 1902, now belonging to the National Trust. Kipling used the house and its setting for many of his stories in Puck of Pook's Hill (1906) and the sequel Rewards and Fairies (1910).

Addressed: “Ho! daughter of my mother”, the letter reads: “Im busy clearing up odds and ends as behoves one whose 70th birthday is upon him!. I accept it but I can only say that I dont feel in the least like it, nor do I like it in the least."

There are references to his first cousin Stanley Baldwin and the League of Nations and to having recently met Neville Chamberlain: "he seemed quite calm which I confess I am not in respect of Italian possibilities. Its a vindictive people with long memory." The letter and its envelope are estimated at £100-150.

In 1883, Kipling visited Shimla (then known as Simla), a well-known hill station and the summer capital of British India. Kipling returned there for his annual leave each year from 1885 to 1888, and the town figured prominently in many of the stories he wrote for the Gazette.

A handwritten poem signed and dated “Rudyard Kipling Simla 1885, June 2nd 1885”, on lined paper, the poem reads:

As one who throws earth’s gold away in scorn,Holding Tomorrow shall refill his purse,So he who spurns his brain’s light offspring, bornIn prose or verse.

Behold the night is certain when our handShall fail from labour and our eye from sight. – Thrice mad who has no treasure at commandAgainst that night.

Wherefore, while each new day brings some new thoughtAnd life’s chain sparkles, golden link by linkWrite quickly: good or evil, all is fraughtMore deeply than you think.

The archive contains many photographs, some previously unseen, including two from the Simla studio of Bourne & Shepherd, Simla, Calcutta & Bombay. As well as what is believed to be the earliest photographic portrait of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, aged about six years old.

This section of the sale will not commence before 3.15pm Thursday 26th June

Of course the objection to T’s being certified is in large part sentimental but none the less it jars on one. I am glad that you found T looking better so far as bodily health was concerned. One must remember that the attack has now lasted barely three months and it has been taken in hand practically from the first, so one can begin to hope that another few weeks may see the turn in the malady. At any rate the fact that she regards the nurse as she does is proof, at least, that she is in sympathetic hands. What her demeanour may be to her family and surroundings is a matter that may depend on a hundred causes to which, in a short visit, one has no clue. It is to be remembered that in the overwhelming number of mental cases they turn for a while against those who are nearest to them. Our weather is rather cold with a falsely blue sky every now and then and a wind like Dornoch Firth. Very sincerely yours Rudyard Kipling” £300-500

While hospital charity benefits from bequest of two Chinese porcelain vases

The inaugural standalone sale of Asian and Eastern Art Surrey’s premier auctioneers of fine art and antiques was marked by a £135,000 bid for a beautiful Chinese cloisonné prayer wheel, sent for sale by a London vendor thrilled at the unexpected windfall.

Buyers believed the religious object to be a rare example, the decorative process of which used coloured enamels to fill small partitions formed by metal wires called “cloissons”. A number of bidders fell away as the price rose quickly past the £10,000 mark, leaving to two to slug it out, one in the room, the other on the Internet bidding live from China. It fell to the bidder in the room, a London dealer. The price is a house record for Ewbank’s for the sale of a single Chinese work of art. In the same sale, a Chinese blue and white Yen Yen

vase painted with mountainous landscapes dating from the Kangzi period, and a 19th century famille rose cylindrical vase decorated with phoenix among flowers sold to dealers for £8,400 and £1,700 respectively. Both had been bequeathed to the FPH Charity at Frimley Park Hospital who had asked Ewbank’s to identify and sell them. As in all such sales, Ewbank’s donated their services free, so that the charity receives the full hammer price.

Nearest contender for top honours in the sale was a horseshoe backed, two-seater settee fashioned from huanghuali wood, purchased by its Guildford owner whilst in Singapore. It sold to a Taiwan bidder for £12,000.

The settee was among a number of items in the same wood from the collection including a chair with a reclining back carved with a Shou character for longevity, purchased by a Chinese buyer living in the Midlands for £9,000 and a pair of plant stands, sold to the Taiwan bidder for £4,800.

A 20th century meal box comprising 11 sections, each with metal mounts and a pair of folding bookstands in the same wood from the collection sold for £1,400 and £1,300 respectively. Each price was a multiple of the pre-sale estimates.

dragons picked out in gold thread in the brocaded fabric, while the contrasting hoof form cuffs and collar were also finely embroidered with dragons and further emblems. It was purchased by one of the Beijing buyers already mentioned, who paid £2,400 against an estimate of £1,000-1,500 to secure it.

However, a Kent dealer beat off the opposition for a 19th century blue silk lined Chinese wall hanging, but the battle cost her £2,000 against an estimate of £500-800. Object of her desire was constructed out of Qing dynasty (1644-1911) Chi-fu dragon and phoenix robes, depicting five claw dragons amongst clouds and bats, the second robe for a female with five roundels of embroidery, each with a phoenix amidst flowers and butterflies.

In works of art, a mid 20th century, six-inch Chinese carved malachite figure of woman and child, sold with five similar figures in different minerals was purchased by another Beijing buyer for £1,500, another multiple of its estimate.

The next opportunity for sellers to cash in on this continued strong demand for Asian and Eastern antiques and works of art will be in the second such specialist sale on November 19, entries for which are invited.

For further information please contact the auctioneer on 01483 223101 or email [email protected]

Also known as the “yellow flowering pear”, huanghuali wood is a type of rosewood much prized in furniture of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) and early years of the Qing dynasty (1644-1912). It is appreciated for its colour, its scent and its distinctive grain, its hardness allowing craftsmen to create elegant, slender yet strong pieces.

Asian buyers secured many of the top lots. In ceramics, a bidder from Jiangxi Province paid £4,000 for a pair of famille rose vases with dragon handles and decorated with exotic birds amid flowering branches, while Beijing buyers paid £1,700 and £1,500 respectively for a 19th century Japanese Bizen-style vase with cylindrical neck and carved with calligraphy and auspicious objects and an early 19th century Chinese copper-red pear-shaped vase with spreading nek.

The same group of buyers were excited by a group of Asian textiles in the sale, pick of which was a late 17th or early 18th century Tibetan mandala, a sacred buddhist picture of the universe, centred by a tantric figure in an imaginary palace used in contemplation during meditation. Purchased in Singapore by the same vendor as the huanghuali wood furniture, the painted fabric depicted bodisatvas and monks and sold to a Chinese buyer living in London for a mid estimate £2,600

Another representation of the universe featured in a late 18th or early 19th century Chinese silk dragon robe in yellow and gold silk tapestry weave robe which also came from the Singapore collection. It was decorated with the symbolically important eight

The importance of the global reach of sales at Ewbank’s, Surrey’s premier auctioneer of fine art and antiques, was illustrated when a painting found in the attic of a bungalow in Devon was sold to a collector from Switzerland. The stunning portrait of the beautiful but tragic 19th century opera singer Maria Malibran sold for £9,500.

the celebrated tenor Manuel Garcia. She appeared on stage for the first time alongside him in Naples when she was aged just eight.

Her first of many triumphal visits to Italy was in 1832 and in 1834, she began to perform in London. In May 1936, she took the lead role in The Maid of Artois, written for her by Balfe, but in July that year, she suffered what were to be catastrophic injuries in a fall from a horse. However, she refused to see a physician and continued to perform.

In October of the same year, she was participating in a music festival at Manchester Cathedral and also appearing at the Theatre Royal on Fountain Street. She collapsed on stage while performing encores at the theatre, but insisted on performing in the cathedral the following morning where she suddenly collapsed and died. Her body was buried temporarily in the cathedral grounds following a public funeral but moved later to a mausoleum in Belgium.

From another owner, a 19th century oil on canvas by an Italian School artist depicting Christ wearing a crown of thorns sold to a London dealer for £2,600, a multiple of its guide price.

As if to underline the global nature of Ewbank’s business, an Australian buyer, bidding on the Internet paid a top estimate £8,000 to secure a work by Sir Sydney Nolan (1917-1992), arguably that country’s most important and best known painter and printmakers

The visually striking work in Ripolin enamel paint on board, titled “Antarctica” and showing towering blue ice peaks, was given by the artist to the vendor in the late 1980s or early 1990s when they exchanged paintings with each other.

Of Irish origin, Nolan was born in Melbourne, and is perhaps best known for his famous series of paintings inspired by the life of the outlaw Ned Kelly. Nolan arrived in London in 1951, but his desire to see the world was insatiable, taking him to Greece, Paris, the U.S., Africa, China and Antarctica, painting a remarkable series of works inspired by the vast continents.

FINE ART AUCTIONS AT EWBANK’S

The 19th century portrait in its original ornate carved wood Florentine frame was by a Rome artist signing himself as “Cav. Carla”. It had been hidden in the attic by an elderly lady who had also stored her other valuable possessions in her home in Paignton because she was worried about burglary. It was found after her death by her granddaughter and consigned to Ewbank’ where the significance of the sitter was identified only after it was seen by the saleroom’s specialists, who had recognised the quality of the work.

Born in Paris in 1808 as María Felicitas García Sitches into a world famous Spanish musical dynasty family, “La Malibran”, as she was known affectionately by her fans, was trained by her father,

Lots from collection kept formerly at Hampton Court Palace raise £37,000

A sumptuous bed cover which once belonged to Queen Mary from a collection kept formerly at Hampton Court Palace sold for £2,200 in a sale of fine textiles at Ewbank’s, Surrey’s premier auctioneers of fine art and antiques.

Like many lots in the sale, the price was a multiple of its presale guide price as collectors and dealers alike fought bidding battles to secure the many rarities in the collection. Queen Mary was well known for her appreciation of needlework.

Made in India in the late 19th century, the bed cover, or possibly a wall hanging, was hand-stitched in gilt thread with a brocaded centre and had tasselled ends set with seed pearls. It was purchased by a Kent buyer who also paid £1,000, double the presale estimate, for a large crewel work bed cover or wall hanging dating from circa 1900 worked in shades of blue green and mauve wool. It was decorated with a design of trees, flowers, a squirrel and butterfly, set within a panelled border of plums, pears and strawberries.

Later he exhibited paintings inspired by composer Benjamin Britten’s works but his affection for Australia and sense of his Australian nationality was strong, returning there for a least a few months every year.

He was knighted in 1981 and awarded the Order of Merit in 1983. He was also made a Companion of the Order of Australia; elected an honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and a member of The Royal Academy of Arts.

Thomas Rowlandson (1756-1827) was among the most prolific of all English caricaturists producing tens of thousands of drawings in a career that spanned half a century. He was also arguably the most talented draughtsman among late 18th century social satirists. He attended the Académie Royal school in Paris at the age of 16 and the R.A. Schools at 19.

His was the school of rollicking humour and he travelled widely in England and Wales, as well as France, Germany, Holland and Italy, making rapid yet brilliant sketches of the life and scenes he encountered on his way.

Highlights of his prolific career were his series of illustrative etchings titled respectively "Comforts of Bath" done in 1798; "The Miseries of Life", 1808 and The Tours of Dr. Syntax", 1812-20. A set of 12 of the former relating to the delights of the spa, which was a great favourite of royalty, sold to a London buyer for £2,800 against an estimate of £1,000-1,500.

The rare and exquisite textiles in the collection spanned more than 350 years and comprised hundreds of examples of embroidery, lace and needlework from the British Isles and overseas. It was offered in 100 lots, which sold for a total of £37,000. Presale, the collection had been expected to raise £19,000.

Most valuable piece proved to be large Turkish Ottoman wall hanging dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, decorated with a formal design of flowers on a linen ground. It sold to a Leicestershire collector for £3,400.

embroidered with red flowers and black leaves dating from the same period is heading to the Middle East, having been purchased by a collector in Israel for £1,200.

The same price was paid for a William and Mary lace box in laburnum wood with petit point top and side panels depicting a mythical beast in landscape, while the interior was decorated with parquetry inlay. It was estimated at £300-500 and sold to a Suffolk dealer.

The collection also included a number of pieces of gentlemen’s attire, pick of which was a flamboyant and extensively embroidered wool coat decorated with panels of flowers and grasses on both the front and back. English and dating from the mid 18th century, it had a stand up collar and deep cuffs and sold to a local buyer for £1,100.

Dating from the same era, a pair of crewelwork hangings with tree of life style decoration depicting plants, flowers, fruit, and running deer on grassy hills sold to a London dealer for an above estimate £1,700, the same price being paid by a London collector for a splendid 19th century American bedcover, plain cotton ground appliquéd with sea shells, a leopard, peacock, dove, and block-printed fabrics. An embroidered signature read: “E R Hall 1844”.

An early Colonial wall hanging embroidered with a stylised forest scene depicting tribal figures and animals within a leaf border was worked in silk on muslin and sold for £1,600. It was purchased by a Suffolk collector, but an 18th century Turkish embroidered silk panel, sold with a Persian cover

Bids from Hong Kong, the U.S. and Switzerland took the top lots in a sale of Entertainment memorabilia at Ewbank’s, Surrey’s premier auctions of fine art and antiques, but it was a collector in the UK who was the victor in a tussle to take ownership of the most valuable piece in the sale: an Italian film poster that sold for a cool £8,500.

LIFE IS SWEET FOR BUYERS AND SELLERS IN EWBANK’S AUCTION OF ENTERTAINMENT MEMORABILIA

Reproduced in countless copies on the walls of Italian restaurants everywhere, the original poster for the 1960 film La Dolce Vita is an imposing four folio artwork by Georgio Olivetti measuring more than six feet high. Frederico Fellini’s masterpiece, starring Anita Ekberg and Marcello Mastroianni, broke box office records when it was released and achieved worldwide acclaim, which clearly continues among collectors.

Ian Fleming’s James Bond was immortalised in a series of books long before the exploits of the secret agent licensed to kill reached the cinema. Today first editions published by Jonathan Cape can be valuable when complete with dust jacket and in good condition. To prove the point, a copy of the 1955 thriller Moonraker was nearest contender for top honours, selling to a collector for £2,200.

Doctor Who has thrilled children of all ages for two generations, with the iconic Daleks being his most memorable foes. The sale included a full scale exact replica of the extraterrestrial mutant as seen in the classic 1975 BBC TV series “Genesis of the Daleks”, which sold to a collector for £2,200. It was made from glass fibre, metal and wood running on wheels with interior electronics.

No rock and pop auction would be complete without a selection of Beatles memorabilia, the top lot in this section proving to be a single A4 sheet of paper with sketches of figures in black ink by John Lennon, similar to those seen in his 1965 nonsense book “A Spaniard in the Works”, the reverse with Cynthia Lennon's name repeated in blue Biro. It had been given to Liverpool comedian Peter Robinson by Lennon during their friendship in the 1960s and sold to collector for £2,100.

A page from Rolling Stone Magazine dated October 26, 1968, autographed in Biro by Jimi Hendrix, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, framed in a presentation display with a photograph and offered with a certificate of authenticity sold to a buyer in Geneva for £2,000.

Autographed material generally sold well. Paris Themmen’s personal copy of the poster promoting the 1971 movie “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” autographed by the cast including Gene Wilder, who played the lead part, sold for £1,200. Themmen played Mike Teevee, “the boy who does nothing but watch television”. It was purchased by a collector, while a telephone bidder secured a “First Man On The Moon” first day cover signed by the Apollo XI astronauts Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) Buzz Aldrin (b. 1930) and Mike Collins (b. 1930) the NASA crew member who piloted the command spacecraft alone in lunar orbit until his comrades returned. It sold for an above estimate £1,050.

David Bailey (b. 1938) is regarded as one of the first celebrity photographers, celebrated himself in the sale by a copy of his first published work “David Bailey's Box of Pin-ups”. Published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson in 1965, the loose portfolio comprises 36 halftone prints of such as John Lennon, Mick Jagger and controversially the Kray brothers in original box. It sold to a buyer in Massachusetts for £1,600, double its presale guide price.

Perhaps the most arresting object in the sale was a near six-feet tall cast metal light fitting modelled as a statue which once stood in the offices of London Films in Piccadilly. The statue, titled “Victorieux” and marked “M Constant”, stood on a marble stand and depicted an athletic man wearing a loin cloth, holding a sword in one hand and a flaming torch in the other, standing astride a slain monster. It was purchased by a collector for £2,000, a multiple of its estimate.

Elton John is renowned for his flamboyant outfits both onstage and off. A leather jacket decorated all over with metal studs by Gianni Versace, owned and worn by the singer songwriter, was purchased by a Hong Kong buyer for £1,500. No one was more flamboyant – or outrageous – however, than the Paris dancer Josephine Baker, an icon of the Jet Age, dubbed the “Nefertiti of now”. An original linen-back poster promoting the Bar Des Folies Africaines, Boulevard Carnot Depuis 1926, Cocktails Exotiques, sold for £1,000. She is shown wearing only a grass skirt.

Ewbank’s next Entertainment & Memorabilia Auction is on July 9th which is now closed, however entries are now invited for the October Memorabilia Auction. Specialist Alastair McCrea is available at the Burnt Common Auction Rooms in London Road, Send, to give free saleroom valuations and to accept items for sale by auction Monday to Friday, 9.30am-5pm.

June 27 auction is expected to raise around £200,000

Tate Director Sir Nicholas Serota described Michael Compton as “arguably the first curator working in England to command international respect for his practice as a maker of exhibitions, collaborator with artists and contributor to the discourse of contemporary art”.

On June 27, Ewbank’s, Surrey’s premier auctioneer of fine art and antiques, will sell The Michael Compton Collection of Post War and Contemporary Art, a group of 28 works by luminaries Roy Lichtenstein, Marcel Broodthaers, Terry Frost, Henry Moore, Richard Long, Victor Newsome, Keith Milow, Billy Al Bengston, Ian Stephenson, Sol LeWitt and Joe Tilson, most of them gifted in thanks by the artists or their families whose careers were enhanced by the exhibitions Compton created. The collection will be offered with its own catalogue and is expected to raise around £200,000.

A small Lichtenstein bronze, ‘Yellow Brushstroke’ is an exception. Number 11 of 19 from an initial lifetime casting, it was presented to Compton by the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation at an awards event held at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art on May 23 1991. The presentation was in recognition of his work as curator of the 1989 Marcel Broodthaers exhibition at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. It is estimated at £40,000-60,000.

Broodthaers died in 1976 and in 1980, while at Tate Gallery, Compton curated the first retrospective of the Belgian artist’s work. He went on to curate the 1989 exhibition in Minneapolis which also travelled to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh.

Frederick R.Weisman (1912-1994) was an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and art collector, who held an uncompromising belief in the cultural value of art and an understanding of the importance of both the individual artist and the creative process.

Lichtenstein developed his Brushstrokes paintings as sculptural representations in the 1980s and ‘90s, depicting the gestural expressions of the brushstroke itself. In his own words, Lichtenstein said the brushstroke “is just an idea to start with, and painting it makes it more concrete, but when you do it in bronze sculpture, it becomes real and has weight and is absurd, contradictory and funny”.

Marcel Broodthaers (1924-1976) spent 20 years in poverty as a struggling poet before turning to art and began to make objects in 1963. One the surreal images linked to him most often is ‘Poêle De Moules’, mussel shells in a frying pan, a witty nod to his homeland’s national dish. The piece is one of 10 lots in the sale gifted to Compton by the artist’s widow, Maria, at the time he was working with her on a proposed catalogue-raisonné of her husband’s work. This involved regular visits to Brussels in the 1980s and ‘90s to do research.

Broodthaers was a writer, poet, filmmaker, photographer, journalist and artist, who famously remarked he would rather have put off the choice of profession until his death. Closely associated with the Belgian Groupe Surréaliste-revolutionnaire, he made use of found objects and collage, incorporating written language in his art, using whatever was at hand for raw materials, most notably the shells of eggs and mussels. Poêle De Moules’ is estimated at £40,000-60,000.

‘Un Chateaubriand bien saignant pour deux’. (A rare Chateaubriand for two) is unsigned but shares the same provenance as the mussels. It is stencilled (?) on the unprimed reverse of the canvas. It is estimated at £30,000-50,000, while ‘Palette’, done in coloured pencils on a prepared canvas board in 1973-4 is estimated at £15,000-25,000.

A photographer’s light box with photographs and slides inscribed ‘Avion’ and ‘Avis’ is estimated at £10,000-20,000.

Language as a symbol that conveys meaning is a central theme in Broodthaers’ texts, objects, installations, films, photographs, slide projections and prints. A work comprising three magic slate boards mounted on grey card is estimated at £5,000-10,000 and a group of 12 children's ABC play bricks stencilled in black in a Dr. Pusscat on the Mouse box is estimated at £4,000-6,000, as is a pair of green glass wine bottles with printed labels ‘Pluie’ and ‘Mer du Nord’ (‘Rain’ and ‘Sea of The North’.

An untitled abstract by Sir Terry Frost (1915-2003) is an unfinished oil and collage on hardboard done in 1954-56 and estimated at £10,000-20,000. The work was begun when Frost was a Gregory Fellow at Leeds University and given to Compton who at the time was assistant to the director at the city’s art gallery.

Frost told Compton and his wife, Susan, that the motifs were inspired by a visit to Malham Tarn in the Yorkshire Dales. Frost had already produced a smaller sketch, also painted on hardboard, which Mr and

Michael Compton was born in Minehead, Somerset, while his parents were on leave from India where he spent his early childhood. Educated in England and South Africa, he studied naval architecture before turning to art history, graduating from the Courtauld Institute in 1952.

From 1953 Compton worked in public museums, beginning at Leeds Art Gallery (1953-57) where he catalogued the watercolour collection at Temple Newsam House, followed by the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, where he was Keeper of Foreign Art. In 1960, he was appointed Director of the Ferens Art Gallery in Hull for which he acquired the first David Hockney to enter a museum. He joined the Tate Gallery as Assistant Keeper of the Modern Collection in 1965 and worked there until his retirement in 1987.

Early in 1968, a Churchill Travelling Fellowship gave him three months in the U.S. to explore contemporary American art, instigating contemporary exhibitions, beginning with the Roy Lichtenstein show of 1968. In 1971, he curated the Andy Warhol and Robert Morris exhibitions, the former a great success, the latter a disaster, although it was re-staged in 2009 to great acclaim.

In the 1970s, Compton planned an extension to the Tate Gallery (today Tate Britain) to provide special space for exhibitions, which opened in 1979. Additionally, he was invited to join British Council and Arts Council committees and became involved with exhibitions at the Hayward Gallery in London and British Council exhibitions overseas. He also represented Britain on the International Committee of Modern Art Museums (CIMAM).

By the time he retired in 1987 he was the most “international” curator in London, connecting his up-to-date knowledge of British art to first-hand experience of contemporary art in Europe and the United States. In recognition of this he was created C.B.E. He died last year, leaving a widow, who lives in Surrey, and two daughters.

For further information, please contact the auctioneers on 01483 223101 or [email protected].

Mrs Compton owned, so he presented them with this version saying, “I don't know how to finish this so I'd like you to have it”. The work was probably painted in the studio provided by the university in Moor Road, Leeds and is similar to a group of works which Frost related to his experience of the Dales landscape.

Sir Henry Moore (1898-1986) gifted two inscribed lithographs to Compton in thanks for organising the 1977 Henry Moore Drawings exhibition at the Tate Gallery curated by Alan Wilkinson of the Ontario Art Gallery. They show a reclining figure and a mother and child respectively and each is inscribed “For Michael Compton from Henry Moore”. Each is estimated at £600-1,000, as is a signed wine bottle given to Compton during the dinner for Henry Moore at the Cafe Royale which followed the opening of the exhibition. With it is a second bottle from the opening of a Henry Moore exhibition in 1989 at the Fondation Pierre Gianadda in Martingny, Switzerland, where a local vintage was named for the artist and served at the gallery.

EWBANK AUCTIONEERSIn 1994 we acquired the Burnt Common Auction Rooms, which are situated just off the A3, under ten minutes away from junction 10 on the M25. It is a very prominent site in an out of town location giving easy access and acres of parking. Woking main line station is 4 miles with trains to Waterloo (25 minutes). Throughout our time in Guildford, we have had the privilege of advising thousands clients on the valuation and sale of Antiques and Fine Art and have conducted well in excess of a hundred Antiques and Fine Arts auctions and over three hundred General Sales. When we started in 1990 we held six auctions a year and we are now expecting to hold up to 24 in the next twelve months

If they are to succeed, businesses like ours must give clients and buyers an efficient and friendly service and, over the years, we have always tried to maintain the highest standards, adhering to the principles of probity and ethics of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the Society of Fine Art Auctioneers and Valuers, of which we are Members. Most of our new clients come to us on recommendation, from professional advisers or existing clients. As the costs of selling by Auction in Central London have rocketed we have benefited from the general trend in recent years for more important items to be sold outside the capital. Catalogues are produced and circulated to prospective purchasers by post and E-mail and full details, including digital illustrations of almost all lots in our quarterly Antique and Fine Art auctions, are included on the internet. Buyers are attracted from all over the world.

We have an agreement with artfact.com, who list our antique sales on Ebay, take commission bids from prospective buyers and facilitate active participation in the auction from a PC anywhere in the world at the time that the sale is actually in progress. This gives a far greater global marketing ability. We are trail-blazing in this field as there are only a handful of other Antique and Fine Art salerooms in the UK who also list on eBay. We see this as being the way forward for the future and it will maximise our ability to achieve the best possible prices for our clients. In our first internet linked auction in 2005 there were nearly 20000 visits to our online catalogue generating over 500 specific enquiries and the figures have risen markedly since then.

Ewbank Auctioneers has grown from humble beginnings holding six sales a year, to the position that we hold today, with our own salerooms and some twenty sales a year. Turnover since 1990 has increased by over 800%. Building refurbishment works have just been completed, which include, a new mezzanine floor doubling our existing floor space, a new entrance, offices, a new heating system and external face-lift.

Chris Ewbank has taken a very active part in the leadership of the profession within the UK. He has been a member of the Fine Arts Advisory Panel of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and Chairman of its Art and Antiques Professional Group. He is also an elected Member of its International Governing Council ( the highest decision making body in the Institution). He joined the Committee of the Society of Fine Art Auctioneers & Valuers in 1994, (he first became a member in 1982), and was Chairman from 2000 - 2007. He has also in recent years been on the Executive Committee of the British Art Market Federation and was one of the first to join the new City of London Guild of Arts Scholars, Dealers and Collectors.

(b) “deliberate forgery” means an imitation made with the intention of deceiving as to authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source but which is unequivocally described in the catalogue as being the work of a particular creator and which at the date of the sale had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with the description;

2. BIDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER (a) Bidders are required to register their particulars before

bidding and to satisfy any security arrangements before entering the auction room to view or bid;

(b) the maker of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the buyer at the hammer price and any dispute about a bid shall be settled at the auctioneer’s absolute discretion by reoffering the Lot during the course of the auction or otherwise. The auctioneer shall act reasonably in exercising this discretion.

(c) Bidders shall be deemed to act as principals. (d) Our right to bid on behalf of the seller is expressly reserved

up to the amount of any reserve and the right to refuse any bid is also reserved.

3. INCREMENTS Bidding increments shall be at the auctioneer’s sole discretion.

4. THE PURCHASE PRICE The buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium

thereon of 25.2% inclusive of VAT [or incremental] at the rate imposed by law.

5. VALUE ADDED TAX Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all

items affixed with a ‘†’ or double asterisk. V a l u e Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law

at the date of sale and is payable by buyers of relevant Lots. (Please refer to “Information for Buyers” for a brief explanation of the VAT position).

6. PAYMENT(1) Immediately a Lot is sold you will: (a) give to us, if requested, proof of identity, and (b) pay to us the total amount due in cash or in such other way

as is agreed by us. (c) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards

any sums owing from you to us on any account whatever without regard to any directions of you or your agent, whether express or implied.

7. TITLE AND COLLECTION OF PURCHASES(1) The ownership of any Lots purchased shall not pass to you until

you have made payment in full to us of the total amount due.(2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that

you have purchased and paid for not later than 3 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment after which you shall be responsible for any removal, storage and Loss and Damage Warranty charges.

(3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for.

8. REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES

(1) If any Lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the seller and on our own behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies:

(a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the sale of that Lot and/or any other Lots sold by

us to you; (c) to resell the Lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case

you shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs). Any surplus so arising shall belong to the seller;

(d) to remove, store and insure the Lot at your expense and, in the case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere;

(2) We shall, as agent for the seller and on our own behalf pursue these rights and remedies only so far as is reasonable to make appropriate recovery in respect of breach of these conditions

9. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY All members of the public on our premises are there at their

own risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation and security arrangements. Accordingly neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury (except as required by law by reason of our negligence) or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale.

10. COMMISSION BIDS Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the

auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular Lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we will if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so save where such failure is unreasonable. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made.

11. WARRANTY OF TITLE AND AVAILABILITY The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you that the seller

is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

12. AGENCY The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any

responsibility for default by sellers or buyers.

13. TERMS OF SALE The seller acknowledges that Lots are sold subject to the

stipulations of these Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the Lot.

14. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) Whilst we seek to describe Lots accurately, it may be

impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 ‘information to buyers’.

(2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.

15. FORGERIES Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which

proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the Lot including any buyer’s premium provided that:-

(1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale

- or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and

marketable title to us, you shall have no r i g h t s under this condition.

The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale

GENERAL16. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to

our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.

17. (1) any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate.

(2) Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them.

18. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail or Swiftmail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting.

19. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of the catalogue.

20. Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect.

21. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
