MACMILLAN DE’LONGHI ART AUCTION IN AID OF MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT 29th September 2009 De’Longhi Foreword from Nigel Wainwright, Managing Director, De’Longhi UK I’m delighted to welcome you all to the third annual Macmillan De’Longhi Art Auction. Macmillan touches the lives of so many people at a time when they desperately need support and we are privileged to be able to contribute to this amazing work through our event. The auction will be supporting Macmillan’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, and brings together De’Longhi’s dedication to style and design along with the talent and passion of leading artists. The aim of this auction is to increase Macmillan’s awareness, as a source of support and a force for change. We hope to raise a significant amount to help improve the lives of the 2 million people living with cancer in the UK. It is now the third year running and I am genuinely overwhelmed by the continuous generosity and support of all the artists involved. From photographs, sculptures, paintings and prints there is something from this celebrated collection of artists that will tempt all, and we hope they will encourage you to contribute to this auction. . Nigel Wainwright, Managing Director, De’Longhi UK 3 Macmillan Cancer Support How did it all begin? In 1911, a young man named Douglas Macmillan watched his father die of cancer. His father’s pain and suffering moved Douglas so much, he founded the ‘Society for the Prevention and Relief of Cancer.’ Douglas wanted advice and information to be provided to all people with cancer, homes for patients at low or no cost, and voluntary nurses to attend to patients in their own homes. Today much of Douglas’ legacy lives on. We are still a source of support for people living with cancer and we are a force for improving cancer care. What do we do now? There are three times as many people in Britain living with cancer than there were 30 years ago. In fact, over two million of us are living with it, and one in three of us will be diagnosed at some point in our lives. With improvements in screening, diagnosis and treatment, more and more people are being diagnosed earlier and living with cancer for longer. They’re often spending less time in hospital and more time at home. Cancer is becoming a part of more and more people’s daily lives. When you have cancer, it has an impact on every aspect of your life – from your emotions to your finances. And as you learn to cope with the shock and distress of diagnosis and the changes cancer can bring, you need a range of support – and so do your family and friends. That’s where Macmillan comes in. People affected by cancer have told us they need help living their lives, today. The concerns people have are not just medical, they’re practical, emotional and financial. How will I get to my hospital appointment? Who will walk the dog? How will I pay the bills when I have to take time off work? Who will listen and understand? Who will help improve the situation - for me and others like me? We are here to help with all these things. We are Macmillan Cancer Support. 4 ‘When I first found out I had cancer I felt like I was in a headon crash. No-one wants a journey like cancer. But when I was at my most fearful, lonely and frightened, I somehow found the strength, because I had my family and people like Macmillan to help get me through.’ Audrey Brown, London So how exactly do we provide this help? Specialist Care Our 3,942 specialist health and social care professionals are leaders in their field, supporting people physically and emotionally. Our cancer care centres have been designed using our longstanding experience of ‘healing environments’, proven for their positive effect on people’s recovery and wellbeing. Practical support We know that help with practical things can make a real difference to someone’s quality of life while they are living with cancer. People need practical support at home, so we provide anything from some precious time off for a carer, to a lift to hospital. Emotional support People need emotional support, so we listen, advise and share information through our helpline, website, support groups and trained professionals. Financial support People need financial help to cope with the extra costs cancer can bring, so we give benefits advice, and grants for anything from heating bills to travel costs. We rely on our supporters for 99% of our income. Without you we couldn’t provide any of our services for people living with cancer. Information and support When you’re affected by cancer, having the right kind of information at the right time is essential. We recognise that different people want different levels of information and they want it delivered in ways that suit them. We have 148 cancer information and support services throughout the UK. Our Mobile Macmillan Cancer Information Centre travels the country, reaching people who may not access cancer information in any other way. The Macmillan helpline provides information and emotional support to people affected by cancer by phone, email and post. Helping people help themselves We link people affected by cancer to over 750 self help and support groups around the country. www . macmillan . or g . uk 5 The Auction Proceedings Live Auction If you would like the option to bid in the live auction you will first need to register.

Cinematic expression marks Aldridge’s work and it is not surprising therefore that his dreamlike, erotic style has drawn comparisons with the work of Bergman, Dali, David Lynch, Hitchcock and Godard amongst others. Aldridge, born in 1964, lives and works in London. His work has been exhibited internationally in both solo and group exhibitions with pieces residing in many significant public and private collections. Aldridge has published several books of photographs, most recently: The Cabinet, 2007, with an introduction by Marilyn Manson and Acid Candy, 2008, with an introduction by Glenn O’Brien. Miles Aldridge: Pictures for Photographs was published by Steidl in Spring 2009. 7 Sir Peter Blake Artwork title: Marilyn’s Door Artwork date: 2009 Description: Silk Screen Print (Artist Proof) Dimensions: 82 x 59.5 cm Guide: £900 Kindly donated by Sir Peter Blake His iconic design for the cover of the Beatles’ album Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band shot Peter Blake to almost instant fame and he is now one of Britain’s best known pop artists. Sir Peter’s fondness for popular culture can be clearly seen in much of his eclectic collages and silk screen prints. His paintings have included imagery from advertisements, music hall entertainment, wrestlers, often including collaged elements. A graduate of the prestigious Royal Academy in 1956, Blake was included in group exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Arts and had his first solo exhibition in 1960. 8 Adam Dant Artwork title: The Art of Hedge and The Art of Law Description: Hand coloured litographs in editions of 50 Dimensions: 76.2 x 55.88 cm Sold as a pair Minimum: £1,000 Kindly donated by Adam Dant Adam Dant lives and works in London. Dant creates dense, cartoon like drawings, often possessed of a dysfunctional semicircular logic. Mishap and folly proliferate his work. Museums are common subjects, as are maps and complicated jokes. Dant’s works often take the form of wall hung drawings and have been described as Hogarthian or Swiftian especially in relation to his use of satire. His new work continues Adam Dant’s interest in depicting and interacting with the public space, the anecdotal and utopian grand models. Dant’s drawings can be found in numerous public and private collections including The Arts Council Collection, The V&A, MOMA New York, Deutsche Bank, The Museum of London, The Government Art Collection, The Musee d’Art Contemporain Lyon and San Diego Museum of Art. 9 Steve Goddard Artwork title: Untitled Artwork date: n/a Description: Pencil and chalk Dimensions: n/a Minimum: £3,000 Kindly donated by Steve Goddard *Represented by The Fine Art Society Steve Goddard’s work is widely collected internationally. As one of the most acclaimed portrait painters in Britain, he has won numerous awards for his realist work. Although an amazingly gifted draftsman, it is his looser and more primitive work that interests him the most offering him flexibility to explore line, texture, colour and media to recreate his memories and dreams. He takes inspiration from social and cultural history, tribalism, and South American popular culture, as well as contemporary and ancient textiles, fabrics, frames and artefacts. His interest in texture is reflected in the customised frames that are intrinsic to his work. This artwork is of Cy, Goddard’s son aged six months letting out a piercing scream. With Goddard the subject matter is always something personal which gets his blood up, something that captures his imagination and plays havoc with his emotion. Goddard’s biggest passions are his sons, football and his art, making this a very important piece. 10 Maggi Hambling Artwork title: Summer Wave Breaking Artwork date: 2009 Description: Ink and acrylic on paper Dimensions: 12 x 15 cm Minimum: £500 Kindly donated by Maggi Hambling Born in Suffolk in 1945, Maggi Hambling is a distinguished painter and sculptor whose work can be seen in the British Museum, National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, Tate Collection, The Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon and many other public collections in the UK and abroad. Her sculpture ‘A Conversation with Oscar Wilde’ was unveiled in central London in 1998, and ‘Scallop’ for Benjamin Britten was installed on Aldeburgh beach in 2003. In 1995 she shared the Jerwood Painting Prize with Patrick Caulfield and in 2005 ‘Scallop’ was awarded the first Marsh Award for Excellence in Public Sculpture. Maggi’s series of ‘North Sea paintings’ began in November 2002 and continues, this recent work belongs to the series. 11 Alison Jackson Artwork title: Queen in Marigolds Artwork date: 2006 Description: Chromogenic print, Edition 1 of 5 Dimensions: 40.75 x 30 cm Minimum: £2,800 Kindly donated by Alison Jackson, courtesy of Hamiltons Gallery Alison Jackson is a contemporary artist who shows her work in galleries and museums as well as to a wider audience through the media of mass communication, these have included TV programmes, films, advertising campaigns and books. Books featuring her work are entitled Confidential (Taschen) and Private (Penguin). In 2002 Alison was awarded a BAFTA for Innovation for her television series DoubleTake and in 2004 she was given the ICP Infinity Award for Photography. 12 Sam Jackson Artwork title: Slow, Sad and Beautiful Artwork date: 2009 Description: Oil on board Dimensions: 30 x 30 cm Minimum: £1,500 Kindly donated by Sam Jackson and Zavier Ellis, Director, CHARLIESMITHLondon Sam Jackson works at an intimate scale, making paintings that are typically no less than 10cm in height or width and no more than 60 x 60 cm. His subject matter draws on traditional genres of the portrait, nude and still life. However, his work is contextualised very much within the contemporary arena. Painted in dark umbers and ochres with varying degrees of varnish on board, these delicate works have an Old Masterly quality whilst the subject matter jars with haunting, melancholy, aggressive and/or sexually explicit depictions. Jackson has a raw energy that translates into diminutive, powerful paintings that hover between form and line; characterisation and ambiguity; time and timelessness; violence and transgression. 13 Sacha Jafri Artwork Title: 100yrs Ashes Painting (commissioned by the ECB to Officially Celebrate 100 years of Ashes History including the 2009 series). Artwork date: 2009 Description: Oil and printing ink on canvas Artist Proof painting with 35 hand-prints and signatures of the top Australian and English ‘Ashes Legends’ from the 1950s to the present day.

As Photoplay Magazine noted in 1925, “…the selection was made, not on what the girls have done in the past, but on their prospects for the future. They are all beginners whose latent talent and beauty have attracted the attention of the men who acquaint the outside world with the personalities of filmland’s capital.” The girls were given new identities, then presented to the world at the annual ‘WAMPAS Frolic’, where their all American beauty could be celebrated and idealised. Although Joan Crawford, Mary Astor and Fay Wray became Hollywood hits, most Baby Stars were not destined for stardom. Of the 143 girls, most were unable to pursue careers in the ‘talkies’ and rapidly disappeared from public consciousness. Today, their images remain lost in Hollywood archives. 16 Francesca Lowe Artwork title: Malaise 2007 Artwork date: 2007 Description: Acrylic Ink and Gesso on linen Dimensions: 59 x 61 cm Minimum: £3,000 Kindly donated by Francesca Lowe Since graduating from The Royal Academy in 2004, Francesca has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally in China, USA and the Netherlands. Donated from her private collection, Francesca Lowe’s painting “Malaise” originally featured in the artist’s solo exhibition “Terminus”, at Riflemaker in 2007. “Terminus” fused Victorian preaching-maps with art symbolism. It investigated the potential of a secret moral guidance system at work behind the structure of a fairground, inviting the viewer to indulge visually and mentally in a game of allegorical unravelling, as they grapple with what it means to be human. Inspired by archaic soap adverts and 1940s political posters but painted like a fairground side stall, “Malaise” both celebrates and exorcises that mild fug that lingers in our midst. Francesca Lowe is represented by Beak Street’s “Riflemaker”, London. 17 Mary McCartney Artwork title: Sheila and the Director Artwork date: January 2007 Description: Photograph Dimensions: 40.64 x 50.8 cm Minimum: £600 Kindly donated by Mary McCartney Mary McCartney began taking photographs professionally in 1992. Since then, she has developed a particular interest in portrait and fashion photography. Portraits she has taken include Sam Taylor-Wood, Ralph Fiennes, Jude Law, and of her sister, Stella McCartney. Her first public exhibition was titled Off Pointe: A Photographic Study of the Royal Ballet After Hours. It shows the contrast between the grueling and often painful everyday lives of the cast and their storybook performances. 18 Miho Sato Artwork title: Moomin3 Artwork date: 2005 Description: Acrylic on board Dimensions: 102 x 76 cm Minimum: £2,500 Kindly donated by Miho Sato, courtesy of Domo Baal Gallery Miho Sato was born in Japan and lives and works in London. An award winning artist, Sato attended the Royal Academy Schools in London. In discussing her work Sato explains, “Sometimes my life sinks into the world of images as if they are like the sky that you just accept as being there as a fact of nature. At other times I do not know what it is I see and then there is a sense of everything appearing as completely unnatural. Also, sometimes my work appears light and humorous and sometimes as dark and heavy. I do not feel it is possible to control how we might be seen or indeed see. Painting is just a process of bringing such differences into the open.” 19 John Stark Artwork title: Cave of Gold Artwork date: 2009 Description: Oil on wood panel Dimensions: 61 x 50 cm Minimum: £3,500 Kindly donated by John Stark John’s practice attempts to trace how myths and legends have been used to make sense of the world and understand human nature through metaphysical investigation. It is a ceremonial exploration of the hermetic labyrinth where the dead stuff of paint becomes charged. John Stark sees his practice as a ‘call to the wild’ and an attempt to return to a perennial wisdom of imaginative insight that potentially restores us to our own true selves. 20 Gavin Turk Artwork Title: Turk Love RGB Description: Silkscreen on somerset paper (non editioned artist proof) Dimensions: 37 x 38 cm Minimum: £1,000 Kindly donated by Gavin Turk *Represented by White Cube/Jay Jopling From an English Heritage plaque memorializing his presence at art school to wry paintings of his own signature, Gavin Turk has made a career from exploring the idea of originality in art. Paradoxically, this questioning has made him one of the most original young british artists, which has lead to his work being shown in such major public spaces as London’s Tate Modern, the Saatchi Gallery and the Victoria & Albert Museum. A London based artist, Turk has participated in several important group exhibitions such as Istanbul Biennial (1999), ‘Century City’, Tate Modern, London (2001), ‘Remix: Contemporary Art and Pop’, Tate Liverpool (2002) and ‘Coollustre’, Collection Lambert en Avignon (2003). Solo exhibitions include South London Gallery (1998), Sensation, Royal Academy of Arts (1997), Centre d’Art Contemporain in Geneva (2000), The New Art Gallery, Walsall (2002) and Schloss Eggenberg, Graz (2006). 21 Gavin Turk Artwork Title: Pollockoffee Description: Bespoke designed De’Longhi PrimaDonna machine Dimensions: 28.5 x 42 x 38 cm Minimum: £3,000 Kindly donated by Gavin Turk / De’Longhi Gavin was commissioned to create a one-off original, bespoke design on the exterior of a De’Longhi PrimaDonna coffee machine. As the Pollockoffee is an original piece of artwork, the successful bidder will also receive a De’Longhi PrimaDonna Bean-to-Cup coffee machine (valued at £1,000) so they can enjoy delicious coffee in their own home at the touch of a button. 22 Jack Vettriano Artwork title: Beautiful Dreamer Artwork date: Published in 2005 Description: Signed, limited edition giclee print Dimensions: 106.68 x 88.9 cm Minimum: £875 Kindly donated by Jack Vettriano OBE This print is from an edition published in 2005 and it is signed by Jack Vettriano.

Edition of 50. Published by TAG Fine Arts Dimensions: Paper size 24 x 57 cm, framed 34 x 67 cm Minimum: £600 Kindly donated by TAG Fine Arts 24 Aptly described by the London born and based artist Stephen Walter RCA as, ‘a celebration of an unfolding drama based in reality, a place that we are all part of and can relate to‘, The Island Series took two years to complete. From a distance, the print looks like an old historical map; however, on closer inspection the piece focuses on local place name histories, the artist choosing to highlight etymologies spanning from pre-Christian times to the present day. The artist has re-drawn all of London’s 32 boroughs. Jonathan Yeo Artwork title: Falling Leaves Artwork date: July 2009 Description: Mixed media collage Dimensions: 46.5 x 46.5 cm Minimum: £2,000 Kindly donated by Jonathan Yeo Jonathan Yeo is a figurative painter well known for his portraits of iconic figures including Dennis Hopper, Erin O’Connor and Tony Blair. More recently he has been working in collage and last year became embroiled in a controversy surrounding his pornographic portrait of George W Bush. The piece here uses the same medium but in a more subtle way. The delicate autumn leaves in this picture, on closer inspection, reveal a multitude of sins. 25 Ernest Bachrach Artwork title: Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman for Notorious (RKO Pictures, 1946) Artwork date: 1946 Description: Modern print from original 10 x 8 negative held in the John Kobal Foundation archive. Dimensions: 40.64 x 50.8 cm Minimum: £500 Kindly donated by the John Kobal Foundation Ernest Bachrach, one of the great Hollywood portrait photographers, was head of the stills department at RKO Pictures from 1929 to 1958 and during that time photographed many of the great film stars.

For a while this did create a “them and us” situation but he snapped into life for the photograph. Sometime later at a dinner party he was apparently seen to mimic the pose in this photograph. 27 Gordon Cheung Artwork title: Mother (study) Description: Description: Laser etching, Stock listings on plywood – Trial proof for an edition of 10 with 2 artist proofs Dimensions: 20.5 x 17.5cm Minimum: £800 Kindly donated by Gordon Cheung Gordon Cheung, born in 1975, is a well-respected artist represented by international galleries including the Jack Shainman Gallery New York and the Alan Cristea Gallery in London.

Chong Kwan is based in London and has shown extensively in the UK and abroad, including: ‘Tales from the New World’, 10th Havana Biennial, Cuba; ‘Terroir and the Pathetic Fallacy’, ArtSway, New Forest, UK; ‘At Your Service’, David Roberts Foundation, London; ‘Pot Luck’, New Art Gallery, Walsall, UK; ‘Memoryscape Moravia’, Centro Cultural de Moravia, Medellin, Colombia; ‘New London School in Berlin’ at Galerie Schuster, Berlin; Government Art Fund’, British Ambassador’s Residence, Paris. 29 Josh Cole Artwork title: Pitbull Ballet Artwork date: May 2009 Description: A set of 3 photographic prints hand-printed by the artist.

One series of paintings, white squares on a white background, are entitled “Crack City”. Coventry’s concerns with the social ills of urban living, the underbelly of city life, are mirrored in his series of bronze “Crack Pipes”, which addressed the microcosm of city life, honing in on individual lifestyles. His works are included in a number of important collections, both in Britain and the U.S., including Tate and MoMA, New York. His white paintings were displayed at Brit Art 5 at the Saatchi gallery and were included in ‘Sensation’ at the Royal Academy in 1997. 31 Hugo Dalton Artwork title: Ksenia Artwork date: 2008 Description: Etched glass Gobo, projector Dimensions: Variable Minimum: £500 Kindly donated by Hugo Dalton Hugo Dalton graduated with First Class honors from Goldsmith’s College in 2002. The artist is best known for his ‘wall drawings’, an age-old genre that he is constantly reinventing. His work is firmly rooted in the tradition of drawing from life, using modern materials and techniques to achieve subtle and striking artworks. The artist’s latest illuminated drawings use light display systems appropriated from the corporate sector. The works exist in the form of a tiny ‘Gobo’, an acid etched disc, through which the light shines onto a surface. The drawing becomes instantly malleable, at home on the wall, the floor, the ceiling or garden. Dalton will be creating a set for the world premiere of a new work by Christopher Wheeldon / Morphoses at Sadlers wells in October 2009 formed from his lightdrawings.

This piece is printed on Somerset Enhanced which is made from 100% cotton is acid free and archival Dimensions: 84.1 x 59.4 cm Minimum: £200 Kindly donated by Emily Forgot and Thick and Thin Emily Forgot is the appropriately curious moniker of one of London’s brightest young things. Aged 25, Miss Forgot is an artist, entrepreneur and popular character amongst the creative social scenes of East London. Brought up in Sheffield by a curator father and a very French mother, she is known for developing her own interdisciplinary visual language, which embraces the odd, the everyday and the sometimes surreal. Emily prides herself on approaching all briefs with creative thought, originality, humour and beauty in mind whether the work is a commissioned piece or a flight of her own fancy. 36 Richard Foster Artwork title: Untitled Artwork date: August 2009 Description: Giclée on watercolour paper, mounted on aluminium Dimensions: 59.43 x 59.43 cm Minimum: £100 Kindly donated by Richard Foster / De’Longhi Richard Foster’s successful career has already spanned 20 years and doesn’t appear to be letting up.

A hypnotic, sickly sweet aesthetic is consistent; as is a sense of the uncanny or otherness. There is also a sense of renewal, creation, metamorphosis and therefore perhaps evolution. All of this essentially occurs within a timeless, virtual, alternate universe that reflects our own present. Alex Gene Morrison was born in 1975. He studied painting at the RCA from 2000-2002. Alex shows regularly, both nationally and internationally. 38 Fergus Greer Artwork title: Session IV, Look 24, Aug 91 & Session IV, Look 21, Aug 91 Artwork date: August 1991 Description: Photographs Dimensions: 30.48 x 35.56 cm, 30.48 x 30.48 cm Minimum: £500 Kindly donated by Fergus Greer Fergus Greer, a leading international photographer, studied at St Martin’s School of Art, London.

Jessop leaves his nocturnal tracks all over London. His famous trademark tag symbol can be found dripping and dancing across tonight’s featured auction painting, (look for the ‘Trident’).

James Jessop is represented by Sartorial Contemporary Art London. 40 Reece Jones Artwork title: An Event at an Ox Bow Artwork date: 2009 Description: Unique mono print and stencilled aquatint on paper Dimensions: 59 x 51 cm Minimum: £400 Kindly donated by Reece Jones Reece Jones is better known for using a complicated process of application and erasure to create haunting, indefinable charcoal drawings. These hybrid environments evoke twisted and subversive narratives whilst continuing Jones’ investigation into the formal potential of methodology and image making. Combining two conflicting methods, the unique prints such as ‘An Event at an Ox Bow’ are typical of these invented landscapes which juxtapose the known and logical with surreal spectacle. Reece Jones lives and works in London and is represented by All Visual Arts. 41 Stephen Jones Artwork title: Louvre Artwork date: Spring/Summer 2009 Dimensions: 10 x 30 x 30 cm Description: Veiled crin tricorn hat Minimum: £285 Kindly donated by Stephen Jones, Millinary Top milliner Stephen Jones donated this hat from his Spring/Summer 2009 collection, ‘Vanda.’ The piece was inspired by his research for the exhibition ‘Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones’ which was on show at the V&A museum from the 24th February – 31st May 2009. 42 Hugh Mendes Artwork title: Obituary: Jade Goody Artwork date: 1st June 2009 Description: Oil on Linen Dimensions: 20 x 35 cm Minimum: £400 Kindly donated by Hugh Mendes Hugh Mendes has been painting images of newspaper clippings for seven years now. They recall trompe l’oile 17th century still life/vanitas. Recently, Hugh has been working on an ongoing series of obituaries. They condense a life into a few column inches and a single image – a scrap of newsprint that becomes a heavy token, a memento, even an icon, when rendered in paint. The act of painting and therefore sustained concentration brings a degree of focus and depth to what would otherwise be fleeting moments in the press. This piece was painted especially for the Macmillan De’Longhi Art Auction. 43 Joanna Mallin-Davies Artwork title: Venus Dancing Artwork date: 2003 Description: Sculpture, artist proof of an edition of 12 Dimensions: 43.18 x 15.24 x 12.7 cm Minimum: £1,150 Kindly donated by Joanna Mallin-Davies This piece, as with much of Joanna’s work, is a celebration of life. A beautiful, abundant, woman, a Venus, dancing in joy of her contentment with herself. 44 Jamie McCartney Artwork title: The Impossibility of Passion Artwork date: 2009 Description: 5/12 limited edition bronze on a stone base Dimensions: 38.1cm high Minimum: £900 Kindly donated by Jamie McCartney Attracting the attention of collectors worldwide, this is an artist to watch. Continuing his exploration of neo-surrealist themes, McCartney’s enigmatic figurine is characteristically challenging yet beautiful. Her pose suggests a passionate argument but this is not possible. She disturbs the eye, yet remains strangely sexy. Herein lies the power of the piece as your response to her as a woman, as a passionate woman, is at odds with her physiognomy. One can only admire, never kiss, never talk to, never make love to. She is sexy but without sex. A miniature of McCartney’s 2008 life-sized piece by the same title. 45 Brendan Neiland Artwork title: Sassy Sally (Las Vegas Suite) Artwork date: 2009 Description: Acrylic on Paper Dimensions: 24.13 x 16.51 cm Minimum: £1,000 Kindly donated by Brendan Neiland and the Redfern Gallery Brendan Neiland is one of Britain’s foremost contemporary painters and printmakers represented in major museums and galleries worldwide and in Britain, The Victoria and Albert Museum, The Tate Gallery London, The Collections of the British Council and the Arts Council of Great Britain. He has created some of the most memorable images of modern metropolitan existence. His work has been commissioned by leading commercial companies, public service institutions and education establishments and has been the subject of several television documentaries and video programmes. This painting is one of a series of five resulting from a visit to Las Vegas. 46 Gavin Nolan The piece on this page is an example of the artist’s work. The piece which will be auctioned off was being commissioned at the time of print. Minimum: £500 Kindly donated by Gavin Nolan Nolan’s unsettling portraits stray at the edges of hyper-realism, his subjects’ outlines blurred by the surreal. Informed by a slue of popular media, from album covers to gossip magazines, as well as the Old Masters and the people around him, Nolan’s work is entirely contemporary in its aesthetic yet remains imbued with a traditional sophistication. Like scenes from a party overstayed, where the wired enthusiasm of others simultaneously lures and disgusts; Nolan’s paintings depict self-indulgence embraced and rejected, both a celebration and critique of all that is loved and loathed: fashion, beauty, money, celebrity, power and religion. 47 Philippa Richardson Artwork title: Seascape Artwork date: November 2008 Description: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 100 x 100 cm Minimum: £800 Kindly donated by Philippa Richardson Philippa Richardson has enjoyed success at a variety of exhibitions in London, Surrey and Cornwall.

Her favourite subjects include seascapes, landscapes, people and animals, her preferred media being oils. 48 Kim Rugg Artwork title: That’s Enough Hope I’m Off to Work Artwork date: 2009 Description: Newsprint – The Daily Telegraph Dimensions: 57.5 x 38 cm Minimum: £2,500 Kindly donated by Kim Rugg Kim is interested in exploring and exploiting the space between an image and its interpretation by subverting and deconstructing the message then reconstructing it with a new code to force the viewers to reconsider their perception of the messenger, the object behind the message. With her Newspaper series, she maintains the familiar layout and design of the original and reorganises the text in an alphanumerical code referring to original printing techniques to reinforce the physical nature of the letters and symbols The newspaper in this work is The Daily Telegraph from January 2009. The big story was the inauguration of president Obama and the photo is of the First Family. 49 Rob Ryan Artwork title: I Opened My Heart Artwork date: 2009 Description: Exclusive TAG limited edition silkscreen print of 25, signed and numbered in pencil by the artist Dimensions: Image size 51 x 37 cm, paper size 68 x 51 cm Minimum: £800 Kindly donated by TAG Fine Arts Ryan studied fine art at Nottingham Trent Polytechnic before going on to an MA in printmaking at the RCA. A highly acclaimed illustrator, Ryan’s elaborate paper cuts have appeared in collaborations with Liberty, Paul Smith, Tatty Devine, Vogue and now illustrate his book, This Is For You, a fairy tale told through hand cut pieces of paper. In 2009, Ryan had a residency exhibition with Ernest Sewn in New York. 50 Olympia Scarry Artwork title: Still from Performance “Novicane” Artwork date: June 2009 Description: n/a Dimensions: 50.8 x 40.64 cm Minimum: £1,500 Kindly donated by Olympia Scarry Olympia Scarry’s work reveals vulnerability, inner chaos and her attempt to solve her compulsive interpersonal relations. Scarry’s choice of materials reflect the complexities of the ever contradicting role reversal of power in relationships through her industrial black rubber cables encased in fragile glass, the 750 kilos of skin-like pure soap upon sharp edged stainless butcher’s steel and the delicate bandages hanging from metal chains. Scarry finished her BA in Psychology in 2007 and her fascination in the human psychosis is the driving force in her works. For this performance piece Scarry chose the human body as the instrument to express the fears of letting someone in emotionally as well as physically and therefore revealing the numbness one feeds oneself in order not to hurt and yet embodying the dying, longing force to be loved. Alone, Protected. Safe from the unknown. Olympia Scarry’s “AfterMath” performance piece is on show in Venice Arsenale Novissimo until November 2009 at the Unconditional Love show. 51 Olivia Stanton Artwork title: Vendange 2 Artwork date: 1995 Description: Oil on canvas on board Dimensions: 87 x 79 cm Minimum: £1,690 Kindly donated by Olivia Stanton and Gallery 286 Olivia Stanton studied painting in the early 1970s at the Byam Shaw School of Art in London and has exhibited regularly since then in Britain and France. Her work is landscape-based, but betrays a leaning towards abstraction which tightens the structure of her paintings substantially. This, coupled with a sophisticated understanding of colour used both descriptively and decoratively, accounts for the strength of her work. She draws with lyrical precision and has a real feeling for paint. 52 Sam Taylor-Wood Artwork title: Falling VI Artwork date: 2004 Description: 20/25 AP C-Print (edition of 75) Dimensions: 16 x 12 cm Minimum: £500 Kindly donated by Sam Taylor-Wood The Falling series continues the artist’s exploration into the physical and emotional limits of individuals operating in contemporary society. Often using subversive or enigmatic images, Taylor-Wood exposes extreme psychological and physical states – joy and despair, screaming and muteness, religious ecstasy and emotional release, presence and absence. With the Falling series, Taylor-Wood looks at notions of weight and gravity in elegiac, poised photographs. 53 James Trimmer Artwork title: Young Roebuck with Rough Tubes Artwork date: 2008 Description: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 180 x 210 cm Minimum: £2,000 Kindly donated by James Trimmer James is a practicing artist who works with and creates images that explore the relationship humans and animals share and what this tells us about ourselves. His work also takes an interest in the strange sense of beauty present in violence and death when viewed by a removed spectator. James studied painting at Brighton University and has just completed a postgraduate at the Prince’s Drawing School in London. James has exhibited in group shows in the UK as well as in Boston and Halifax, Nova Scotia, and is due to exhibit in Berlin over the summer. 54 David Walker Artwork title: Unknown Artwork date: 2009 Description: Spray paint on canvas Dimension: 61 x 77 cm Minimum: £600 Kindly donated by David Walker Primarily working with portraiture and using only spray paint, David Walker’s ability to capture his subject in his unique style has attracted a keen group of collectors who have acquired his work at auction, gallery sales and by commission. David has exhibited in the UK and internationally alongside Nick Walker, Goldie, Inkie plus many more and his work at Banksy’s Cans 2 Festival was noted as a highlight. 55 Michael Woods Artwork title: Norfolk Landscape Artwork date: Summer 2008 Description: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 60.96 x 60.96 cm Minimum: £500 Kindly donated by Michael Woods Over the years, Woods’ style of painting has changed considerably and throughout his further and college education his style followed a path between impressionist and realism. Some of his earlier work, pointillist in style, was shown at the Richard Hagen Gallery in Broadway. Now, his work is abstract based. He has always been a great admirer of Patrick Heron and Mark Rothko. After a trip to Australia and New Zealand in 1998 where he was greatly influenced by extremes in the colours and light he found his work taking on a more abstract style. Many of his ideas are based on the world around us, landscape, sea and the elements. Our world is made up of so many abstract and diverse shapes and Woods tries to use and develop these in his work. Colour also plays an important and exciting part in the creation of each piece of artwork. 56 Emily Young Artwork title: ‘Time in the Stone’ (book), ‘Onyx Lunar Disc’ Artwork date: 2007 Description: Limited edition book with original artwork Onyx Lunar disc 2007 Dimensions: Disc 20 cm diameter, Book 33.8 x 26.8 x 2.4 cm inside a 10 cm deep box Minimum: £800 Kindly donated by Emily Young Emily Young was born in London and spent her youth there and in Rome and Wiltshire.
