THE PRIVATE
COLLECTION
OF SIR NOL
COWARD

Noel Coward circa 1969/70.

AN INTRODUCTION
BY BARRY DAY
At a London party to celebrate Nols 70th birthday his old
friend Lord Louis Mountbatten said of him:
There are probably greater painters than Nol, greater novelists
than Nol, greater librettists, greater composers of music,
greater singers, greater dancers, greater comedians, greater
tragedians, greater stage producers, greater flm directors,
greater cabaret artistes, greater TV stars. If there are, there are
twelve different people. Only one man combined all twelve
different labels - The Master.
He could easily have added several more. And yet Nols own
verdict - as expressed in the lyrics to If Love Were All - was
that the most he had was just a talent to amuse. And as for
being The Master - Oh, you know Jack of all trades - master
of none. You have to be English to recognise duplicitous selfdeception when you see it! A talent to confuse - among many
others.
You dont write over ffty plays (some still to be produced),
numerous flms in which he either starred, wrote, directed
(and on occasion all three), more than four hundred songs, a
substantial amount of verse (he never called it poetry), two and
a half autobiographies, thirty years worth of a Diary, a ballet, a
novel, and hundreds of letters to and from anyone one had ever
heard of in the arts, literature, politics and quite a few one had
not, without being a genius.
4

By the 1930s he was already well established in London and


New York. And it was then another Muse came calling. He
began to paint.
From childhood hed produced colourful caricatures of famous
historical fgures such as Nell Gwynn and Anna Pavlova and his
concept of ladies of high fashion. But then there was a gap until
sometime in the early thirties when - as his secretary Cole Lesley
recorded - he began again, painting from time to time in water
colours, usually seascapes with ships rather nave but, as in
everything he attempted, with a style of his own. The Kentish
coast and countryside around his home, Goldenhurst, provided
his early inspiration.
Then one Sunday he visited his sometime friend Winston
Churchill at Chartwell, Churchills own country retreat. Churchill
himself was more than a competent amateur painter and - as in
all things a man of frm opinion. He commanded Nol to give
up watercolours and paint (as he did) in oils instead: That way
you can paint over your mistakes. Nol took the great mans
advice and took to the new medium as easily as he had taken
to the old one.
In the post-war years, painting became something of an
obsession with him and it wasnt long before hed infested
his two closest companions - Coley and Graham Payn - with
the bug. They all painted, as Nol recalled, like competitive
maniacs and also critics.

Coley tried to copy the Impressionists. Monet, Monet, Monet


thats all you think about, Nol chided him.
It wasnt long before hed decided what to call his own style:
Touch-and-Gauguin. He had Jamaica to blame for that
Nol had frst visited the island at the insistence of his wartime
spy boss, Little Bill Stephenson that he take a brief rest before
resuming his diplomatic mission and troop concerts. He was
enchanted with what he saw and vowed to return after the war
- which he duly did. It wasnt long before hed built two modest
homes there and he would spend as much time there as his
many other activities permitted. The location provided endless
inspiration and in retrospect it can be seen that few painters of
note (except Gauguin) dealt with the tropics in such detail and
with such freedom of expression.
By now he was beginning to sense that in this medium - as
in so many others - he really did have something to offer and
with modest immodesty he confded to his Diary in 1955,
compared to the pretentious muck in some London galleries
my amateur efforts appear brilliant.
And once again, whenever they could, the Three Artistic
Musketeers painted away like crazy. Little Lad (Graham) is
at work upon a very large ruined cathedral. I cant think why
he has such a penchant for hysterical Gothic. Perhaps he was
assaulted in childhood by a nun I, swifter than the eye can

follow, have fnished a group of negroes and am now busy


with a crowded fairground with swings and roundabouts and
what should be a Ferris wheel but looks like a steel ovary. The
trouble with me is that I dont know the meaning of peur ... I
keep on doing lots of people walking about and Im sick to
death of them.
And later ... I am painting hundreds and hundreds of people
on beaches and esplanades. It is my new style. My present
masterpiece has to date one hundred and seventy when last
counted and it isnt half done. Coley, with his passion for
statistics, says that means three hundred and forty shoes.
After he was knighted in 1970 - an honour Churchill had
personally stymied as far back as 1942, even though King
George VI had approved it - Nol more or less retired. He
published nothing new. He even stopped keeping his Diary.
Presumably he felt he had said all he wanted to say. His point
had been proved over and over again.
The one thing he never stopped doing however, was painting.
It was his personal window to another world. And it was clearly
one that others wished to share. When in 1988, Graham Payn,
who was now running the Coward Estate, decided to put some of
Nols work up for auction at Christies, Nol would have been
gratifed to see the result. Proceeds almost trebled expectations. His
amateur efforts had, indeed, turned out to be brilliant.

Cole Lesley, Cowards secretary, remembers how Derek Hill taught


Nol Coward, Graham Payn and himself, some of the basic
preparations of painting in oil. Derek Hill, although still young, was
already a formidably good painter. Derek himself had been infuenced
and helped by Edward (Molynieux) and later by Bernard Berenson, and
he is now represented in the Tate and many other galleries of note. He
kindly and patiently taught us much technically, including especially the
colour with which to prime our canvases; up until then we had been
painting straight on to the bright whiteness. (C. Lesley, The Life of Nol
Coward, London, 1976, p. 240).
Indeed Hill taught many people to realise their artistic potential. H.R.H.
Prince of Wales reminisced that He was a priceless companion; a
man of endlessly amusing, if naughty, stories about everybody who was
anybody. As a painter, he was a perceptive observer of character both
of person and the landscape. It always fascinated me how, as a young
man, his great skill seemed to be in painting portraits. (Introduction to
Christies studio sale of Derek Hill, 17 May 2001).
Derek Hill painted many other notable sitters, including Sir John Gielgud,
Sir Alec Guinness and L.P. Hartley and in doing so became a life long
friend to many of his subjects. Lord Gowrie best encapsulates this when
he says that Hills portraits are not commissioned. They are encounters,
relationships. (G. Gowrie, Derek Hill An Appreciation, London, 1987,
p. 8).

LITERATURE:
S. Morley, Out in the Midday Sun The Paintings of Nol Coward,
Oxford, 1988, pp. 78, 79, illustrated.

In the 1950s Coward began to feel that his frst home in Jamaica, Blue
Harbour, had become too busy to work at, and so in 1955 he built
Firefy, a modest one-bedroomed house with spectacular views across
the Caribbean.

Firefy Hill has given me the most


valuable benison of all: time to read
and write and think and get my mind
in order ... I love this place. It deeply
enchants me. Whatever happens to
this silly world, nothing much is likely
to happen here.

LITERATURE:
E. Newton, Christopher Wood 1901-1930, London, 1938, p. 66,
no. 131.

Fishing Village, Cornwall was painted in 1926, the year that


Christopher Wood frst visited St Ives in Cornwall. The Cornish coast
had a deep impact on Wood, and from this year until his untimely
death in 1930, the artist painted a number of harbour and coastal
scenes both in Cornwall and in Brittany, which rank among the greatest
paintings in his oeuvre. With a directness and simplicity, in Fishing
Village, Cornwall, Wood has depicted a quintessential Cornish town
with an array of bold colours. Under the bright blue sky, the white
houses of the village gleam, while in the foreground the harbour is flled
with two boats foating on the deep turquoise sea.
Wood had, since 1921, been living and working predominantly in
Paris. Having met many of the leading fgures of the avant-garde and
seen the myriad of modern styles and artistic techniques being used
in the French capital, Wood recognised the importance of forging his
own, unique artistic style. He wrote in 1925, the year before Fishing
Village, Cornwall was painted, All the pictures that I paint now will
be fatal, one way or another, to my career. They must be personal,
quite different to everyone elses and full of English character. (Wood,
quoted in V. Button, Christopher Wood, London, 2003, p. 39).

24

Woods trip to the British coast in 1926 was vital to the development
and emergence of his distinctive simplistic and deliberately nave style.
The clear light, rocky coastline, and small villages of Cornwall were
the antithesis of cosmopolitan Paris, and greatly inspired Wood; he
described in a letter to this mother, the coastline is arid with huge rocks
and towering black cliffs, and little coves and creeks with the greenest
water you ever saw, with little white cottages clinging like wild fowers
to the rocks. (Wood quoted in H. Gresty, Christopher Wood, The
Innocent and the Modern in Christopher Wood: The Last Years 19281930, exhibition catalogue, Newlyn, Art Gallery, 1989, p. 8). Imbued
with a freshness and directness, Fishing Village, Cornwall encapsulates
Woods newly emergent style. Specifc pictorial and scenic detail is
replaced by bold planes of colour applied with varied, often visible
brushstrokes. Wood wrote again to his mother in 1926, I know that
my stay in St. Ives has been a great proft to me as I have at least learnt
how to fnish my work, which is the most diffcult part. I feel I have
thought a lot and assimilated much and that now really I feel that I am
an artist and couldnt ever have done anything else in my life, which
is a great comfort to me (Wood quoted in Button, op. cit., p. 41).
Filled with a newfound artistic confdence, Wood continued to visit
the Cornish coast, often accompanying the artists Ben and Winifred
Nicholson with whom he formed a deep and lasting friendship, sharing
their direct approach to the depiction of the landscape.

The present work depicts Honfeur, a picturesque old port in Normandy,


located on the southern bank of the estuary of the Seine across from
Le Havre. Honfeur held a special signifcance for Hambourg, where
he met his wife in 1948. She would spend the summers staying at her
fathers holiday house. The old-paddle boat pictured in the present lot
would sail past daily from Honfeur to Le Havre. So fond of the place
were they that they made it their home in 1959. Hambourg painted
some of his most important works at Honfeur, which, like the present
work, captures the charm of the place.

One must be content with saying that Christopher Wood possessed


the gift of making everyday things both magical and mystical, and of
performing the miracle effortlessly. (E. Newton, Christopher Wood, His
Life and Work, London, 1938, p. 49).
Painted in Paris in 1925, Paris Square comes from an important year
in the career of English artist, Christopher Wood, during which his
distinctive, nave style began to emerge. Having moved to Paris in
1921, by 1925, Wood had met many of the leading fgures of the
Parisian avant-garde, including Pablo Picasso and the writer and artist,

Nol Coward and Kay Thompson at Les Avants, with Paris Square
by Christopher Wood.
Photo: Graham Payn.

Jean Cocteau, with whom he was sharing a studio in the year that
Paris Square was painted. The bustling Parisian square is flled with an
assortment of fgures pictured under the stately, leafess trees of winter,
the sun-dappled buildings of Paris framing the scene behind. Wood
captured this scene of daily life in his own, unique style; Eric Newton
stated that Woods works of 1925, such as Paris Square, are paintings
that, could have been painted by no one else. These are his key
pictures. (E. Newton, Christopher Wood, His Life and Work, London,
1938, p. 45).
In 1920, while living in London, Wood had met the wealthy art dealer
and patron, Alphonse Kahn who invited the young artist to stay with him
in Paris. Wood arrived in the French capital aged 19, and enrolled in
the Acadmie Julian and later the Grande Chaumire. Immersed in the
eclectic avant-garde art world of Paris, and exposed to the astonishing
variety of artistic styles there, Wood developed a highly personal
style such as is evident in Paris Square. With a sense of simplicity
and rapidity, Wood has portrayed a snapshot of Paris, using bursts
of bold colour such as the orange of womens coats, the bright green
of the triangular segments of grass, and the light blue of the fountain,
which imbue the scene with a lively vibrancy and vitality. If Wood
had not lived a cosmopolitan existence, with Paris as his headquarters,
Eric Newton wrote, I doubt whether he would have achieved that
confdent grip of his craft as early as he did. The series of decisions
and accidents that cut him off from England and threw him into the
cross-currents of continental life set his art free. (E. Newton, ibid., pp.
57-58). It was the artistic diversity and cosmopolitanism of Paris that
provided Wood with the subject matter and stylistic inspiration with
which to forge his personal artistic style, such as is evident in this vibrant
scene of city life.

staying at Goldeneye, Ian Flemings island retreat. He subsequently built
his own home further along the coast and named it Blue Harbour, later
building three guest cottages in the grounds and the beautiful swimming
pool by the seashore that is depicted in the present work. Blue Harbour
quickly became a mecca for Cowards friends and the post-war

LITERATURE:
E. Newton, Christopher Wood 1901-1930, London, 1938, p. 66,
no. 74.

Do you know that all the great modern painters are not trying to see things and
paint them through the eyes and experience of a man of forty or ffty or whatever
they may be, but rather through the eyes of the smallest child who sees nothing
except those things which would strike him as being the most important? To the
childish drawing they add the beauty and refnement of their own experience this
is the explanation of modern painting.
(Christopher Wood, quoted in V. Button, Christopher Wood, London, 2003, p. 37).

Painted in 1925 while Christopher Wood was living and working in


Paris, St Cloud presents a tranquil scene of modern life. Framed with
rich, verdant green vegetation, a group of children are pictured playing
in a Parisian park, accompanied by their mothers and child minders.
Like the great French Impressionists before him, including Monet, Renoir
and Degas, as well as Manet, Wood has taken as his subject a scene
of contemporary Parisian life. The composition of St Cloud is reminiscent
of Manets Music in the Tuileries, from 1862 (National Gallery,
London); the same large tree trunks border the scene, framing the fgures
that stand in the foreground of the painting. Having moved from London
to Paris in 1921, Wood had immersed himself in the exuberant and
eclectic art world of the city. He admired many of the modern masters,
including Picasso, Matisse and Gauguin, yet aimed to develop a highly
personal and individual style, such as is evident in St Cloud. Rendered
with a bold simplicity, the areas of unmodulated, fattened colour in St
Cloud, such as the dark, curved tree trunks and the array of rich, green
tones of the foliage, demonstrate Woods great love of colour, while the
simplifed depiction of the fgures exemplifes the artists distinctive, nave
style, which he would continue to develop from this year onwards.

In 1953 Vaughan painted several works depicting fgures in


landscapes, such as Man Sharpening a Sickle and Woodman in a
Clearing. In each example Vaughan marries the human form to its
environment, not only by an associated occupation but also by more
formal qualities such as colour, character and form. Integrating the
fgure into the landscape was a central concern throughout his career
and the pictorial problems it presented both stimulated and frustrated
Vaughan. In the present work the man, perhaps a gardener, reaches
out to touch some foliage as he passes though a garden landscape. To
the left is a pink-walled house and at the right the gable end of another
building can be identifed. The organic forms of the garden both echo
and rhyme with the characterisation of the fgure. Vaughan discussed
this very matter in his studio notes:
My problem is to express the emotional difference between visually
similar organisations of forms, within the limits of a single pictorial unity.

74

There has been at the disposal of every artist, since the time of Euclid,
a valid language of abstract forms for the conveyance of emotions.
But the emotions capable of this conveyance seem to me limited and,
in my case, exclude the possibility of conveying a sense of confict. It
does however offer a possibility of summing up my conception of the
landscape in forms which are compatible with the forms of the fgure.
In other words I have a series of abstract, or near abstract, forms
paraphrasing my reactions to the landscape and another set of organic
forms paraphrasing my reactions to the fgure. My problem then is
to combine these two sets of forms within a single pictorial unity (K.
Vaughan, Studio Notes, late 1950s).

Close: The Final Journals of Keith Vaughan and Keith Vaughan the
Photographs, for preparing the catalogue entries for the present lot and

As an artist in the interwar years, Hermes style thrived under the


tutelage of Leon Underwood at Brook Green School of Art, where she
studied from 1921-1925. The infuence of Primitivism and artists such as
Brancusi and Gaudier-Brzeska is also evident in her work of this period.
Gertrude Hermes was seduced by the natural world from her youth.
This is apparent from her early choice of subjects which predominantly
encompassed organic matter such as plants, animals, birds and
insects. In preparation for the present work, she studied butterfies in the
countryside for two years. Butterfy has been selected for several major
exhibitions since its debut at the 1937 London Group exhibition. Most
recently it was chosen to represent Hermes at the fftieth anniversary
exhibition of the London Group, held at Ben Uri Gallery in 2013-14.
Also selected for the back cover of Jane Hills monograph on the artist,
Butterfy remains one of Hermess most accomplished carvings and
enduring images.

I tried to show in one complete piece of


wood the perfect balance of the butterfy ...
it is not symmetrical it is not meant to be.

In March 1946 Richards read an essay in the Horizon magazine by
Henri Matisse in which he expounded the virtues of looking to other
civilisations, both past and present, in order to break the infuences of
ones immediate cultural surroundings. He highlighted Czanne drawing
inspiration from Poussin. For Richards this confrmed his own approach
to the history of art which was for him ever relevant to ones experience
within the here and now, and with this in mind, he turned to the
paintings of Rubens and Delacroix.
In The Rape of the Sabines, painted in 1635, by Rubens, Richards
found empathy with this classical story, made respectable through
Renaissance painting. He recognised the themes of intense violation
and consequential reconciliation and rejuvenation as having particular
resonance in post-war Britain.

Peter King was a prolifc British artist of the 1950s who worked as an
assistant to Henry Moore, alongside other emerging sculptors such as
Anthony Caro. King has become highly regarded for his experimental
nature and diverse use of materials, which he manipulated to tackle the
complexities of the human form.

106

Unquestionably the greatest photographer of sculpting in the world who himself became a sculptor. Tom Rosenthal
Frederick Kenett studied photography at the Guildford School of Art, where he developed a superb mode of lighting and photographing sculpture. He
worked for publishers, museums, collections and governments, taking pictures of sculptures throughout the world.
However, from the mid-1960s, Kenett turned his attention away from the photography of sculpture to creating sculpture itself. Working with Henry
Moore amongst others, his works elicited a strong response from the leading London galleries and were exhibited at the Grosvenor Galleries in 1966.
The Arts Review praised the perfect form of his sculptures whereas the The Listener wrote, there is a sense of ease and power one usually fnds only in
work by senior and more illustrious names.

Conditions of Sale Buying at Christies


CONDITIONS OF SALE
These Conditions of Sale and the Important Notices
and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice set out
the terms on which we offer the lots listed in this
catalogue for sale. By registering to bid and/or
by bidding at auction you agree to these terms so
you should read them carefully before doing so.
You will find a glossary at the end explaining the
meaning of the words and expressions coloured
in bold.
Unless we own a lot, marked with a symbol ,
Christies acts as agent for the seller.
A BEFORE THE SALE
1 DESCRIPTION OF LOTS
(a) Certain words used in the catalogue description
have special meanings. You can find details of
these on the page headed Important Notices and
Explanation of Cataloguing Practice which forms
part of these terms. You can find a key to the
Symbols found next to certain catalogue entries
under the section of the catalogue called Symbols
Used in this Catalogue.
(b) Our description of any lot in the catalogue,
any condition report and any other statement
made by us (whether orally or in writing) about
any lot, including about its nature or condition,
artist, period, materials, approximate dimensions
or provenance are our opinion and not to be
relied upon as a statement of fact. We do not carry
out in-depth research of the sort carried out by
professional historians and scholars. All dimensions
and weights are approximate only.
2 OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR
DESCRIPTION OF LOTS
We do not provide any guarantee in relation to
the nature of a lot apart from our authenticity
warranty contained in paragraph E2 and to the
extent provided in paragraph I below.
3 CONDITION
(a) The condition of lots sold in our auctions
can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous
damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. Their
nature means that they will rarely be in perfect
condition. Lots are sold as is, in the condition
they are in at the time of the sale, without any
representation or warranty or assumption of liability
of any kind as to condition by Christies or by the
seller.
(b) Any reference to condition in a catalogue
entry or in a condition report will not amount to a
full description of condition, and images may not
show a lot clearly. Colours and shades may look
different in print or on screen to how they look
on physical inspection. Condition reports may be
available to help you evaluate the condition of a
lot. Condition reports are provided free of charge
as a convenience to our buyers and are for guidance
only. They offer our opinion but they may not refer
to all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration
or adaptation because our staff are not professional
restorers or conservators. For that reason they are
not an alternative to examining a lot in person
or taking your own professional advice. It is your
responsibility to ensure that you have requested,
received and considered any condition report.
4 VIEWING LOTS PRE-AUCTION
(a) If you are planning to bid on a lot, you should
inspect it personally or through a knowledgeable
representative before you make a bid to make sure
that you accept the description and its condition.
We recommend you get your own advice from a
restorer or other professional adviser.
(b) Pre-auction viewings are open to the public
free of charge. Our specialists are available to
answer questions at pre-auction viewings or by
appointment.
5 ESTIMATES
Estimates are based on the condition, rarity,
quality and provenance of the lots and on
prices recently paid at auction for similar property.
Estimates can change. Neither you, nor anyone
else, may rely on any estimates as a prediction
or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or
its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not
include the buyers premium or any applicable
taxes.

6 WITHDRAWAL
Christies may, at its option, withdraw any lot at any
time prior to or during the sale of the lot. Christies
has no liability to you for any decision to withdraw.

2 RETURNING BIDDERS
We may at our option ask you for current identification as described in paragraph B1(a) above,
a financial reference or a deposit as a condition
of allowing you to bid. If you have not bought

C
AT THE SALE
1 WHO CAN ENTER THE AUCTION
We may, at our option, refuse admission to our
premises or decline to permit participation in any
auction or to reject any bid.
2 RESERVES
Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are subject to a
reserve. We identify lots that are offered without
reserve with the symbol next to the lot number.
The reserve cannot be more than the lots low
estimate.
3 AUCTIONEERS DISCRETION
The auctioneer can at his sole option:
(a) refuse any bid;
(b) move the bidding backwards or forwards in any
way he or she may decide, or change the order of
the lots;
(c) withdraw any lot;
(d) divide any lot or combine any two or more
lots;
(e) reopen or continue the bidding even after the
hammer has fallen; and
(f) in the case of error or dispute and whether
during or after the auction, to continue the bidding,
determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of
the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot. If any dispute
relating to bidding arises during or after the auction,
the auctioneers decision in exercise of this option is
final.
4 BIDDING
The auctioneer accepts bids from:
(a) bidders in the saleroom;
(b) telephone bidders, and internet bidders through
Christies LIVE (as shown above in Section B6);
and
(c) written bids (also known as absentee bids or
commission bids) left with us by a bidder before the
auction.
5 BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER
The auctioneer may, at his or her sole option, bid
on behalf of the seller up to but not including
the amount of the reserve either by making
consecutive bids or by making bids in response
to other bidders. The auctioneer will not identify
these as bids made on behalf of the seller and will
not make any bid on behalf of the seller at or above
the reserve. If lots are offered without reserve,
the auctioneer will generally decide to open the
bidding at 50% of the low estimate for the lot.
If no bid is made at that level, the auctioneer may
decide to go backwards until a bid is made, and
then continue up from that amount. In the event
that there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may
deem such lot unsold.
6 BID INCREMENTS
Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and
increases in steps (bid increments). The auctioneer
will decide at his or her sole option where the
bidding should start and the bid increments. The
usual bid increments are shown for guidance only on
the Written Bid Form at the back of this catalogue.
7 CURRENCY CONVERTER
The saleroom video screens (and Christies LIVETM)
may show bids in some other major currencies as
well as sterling. Any conversion is for guidance only
and we cannot be bound by any rate of exchange
used. Christies is not responsible for any error
(human or otherwise), omission or breakdown in
providing these services.
8 SUCCESSFUL BIDS
Unless the auctioneer decides to use his or her
discretion as set out in paragraph C3 above, when
the auctioneers hammer strikes, we have accepted
the last bid. This means a contract for sale has been
formed between the seller and the successful bidder.
We will issue an invoice only to the registered
bidder who made the successful bid. While we
send out invoices by post and/or email after the
auction, we do not accept responsibility for telling
you whether or not your bid was successful. If you
have bid by written bid, you should contact us by
telephone or in person as soon as possible after the
auction to get details of the outcome of your bid
to avoid having to pay unnecessary storage charges.

9 LOCAL BIDDING LAWS


You agree that when bidding in any of our sales
that you will strictly comply with all local laws and
regulations in force at the time of the sale for the
relevant sale site.
D

THE BUYERS PREMIUM, TAXES


AND ARTISTS RESALE ROYALTY
1 THE BUYERS PREMIUM
In addition to the hammer price, the successful
bidder agrees to pay us a buyers premium
on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all
lots we charge 25% of the hammer price up
to and including 50,000, 20% on that part of
the hammer price over 50,000 and up to and
including 1,000,000, and 12% of that part of the
hammer price above 1,000,000.
2 TAXES
The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable
tax including any VAT, sales or compensating use
tax or equivalent tax wherever they arise on the
hammer price and the buyers premium. It is
the buyers responsibility to ascertain and pay all
taxes due. You can find details of how VAT and
VAT reclaims are dealt with in the section of the
catalogue headed VAT Symbols and Explanation.
VAT charges and refunds depend on the particular
circumstances of the buyer so this section, which
is not exhaustive, should be used only as a general
guide. In all circumstances EU and UK law takes
precedence. If you have any questions about VAT,
please contact Christies VAT Department on +44
(0)20 7389 9060 (email: VAT_london@christies.
com, fax: +44 (0)20 3219 6076).
3 ARTISTS RESALE ROYALTY
In certain countries, local laws entitle the artist or
the artists estate to a royalty known as artists resale
right when any lot created by the artist is sold. We
identify these lots with the symbol next to the
lot number. If these laws apply to a lot, you must
pay us an extra amount equal to the royalty. We
will pay the royalty to the appropriate authority on
the sellers behalf.
The artists resale royalty applies if the hammer
price of the lot is 1,000 euro or more. The total
royalty for any lot cannot be more than 12,500
euro. We work out the amount owed as follows:
Royalty for the portion of the hammer price
(in euros)
4% up to 50,000
3% between 50,000.01 and 200,000
1% between 200,000.01 and 350,000
0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000
over 500,000, the lower of 0.25% and 12,500 euro.
We will work out the artists resale royalty using the
euro to sterling rate of exchange of the European
Central Bank on the day of the auction.
E
WARRANTIES
1 SELLERS WARRANTIES
For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the
seller:
(a) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of
the lot acting with the permission of the other
co-owners or, if the seller is not the owner or a joint
owner of the lot, has the permission of the owner to
sell the lot, or the right to do so in law; and
(b) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot
to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by
anyone else.
If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the
seller shall not have to pay more than the purchase
price (as defined in paragraph F1(a) below) paid
by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to
you for any reason for loss of profits or business,
expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest,
costs, damages, other damages or expenses. The
seller gives no warranty in relation to any lot
other than as set out above and, as far as the seller
is allowed by law, all warranties from the seller
to you, and all other obligations upon the seller
which may be added to this agreement by law, are
excluded.
2 OUR AUTHENTICITY WARRANTY
We warrant, subject to the terms below, that the lots in
our sales are authentic (our authenticity warranty).
If, within five years of the date of the auction, you
satisfy us that your lot is not authentic, subject to the
terms below, we will refund the purchase price paid
by you. The meaning of authentic can be found in
the glossary at the end of these Conditions of Sale. The

terms of the authenticity warranty are as follows:


(a) It will be honoured for a period of five years
from the date of the auction. After such time, we
will not be obligated to honour the authenticity
warranty.
(b) It is given only for information shown in
UPPERCASE type in the first line of the
catalogue description (the Heading). It does
not apply to any information other than in the
Heading even if shown in UPPERCASE type.
(c) The authenticity warranty does not apply
to any Heading or part of a Heading which
is qualified. Qualified means limited by a
clarification in a lots catalogue description or
by the use in a Heading of one of the terms listed
in the section titled Qualified Headings on the
page of the catalogue headed Important Notices
and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice. For
example, use of the term ATTRIBUTED TO
in a Heading means that the lot is in Christies
opinion probably a work by the named artist but no
warranty is provided that the lot is the work of the
named artist. Please read the full list of Qualified
Headings and a lots full catalogue description
before bidding.
(d) The authenticity warranty applies to the
Heading as amended by any Saleroom Notice.
(e) The authenticity warranty does not apply
where scholarship has developed leading to a change
in generally accepted opinion. Further, it does not
apply if the Heading either matched the generally
accepted opinion of experts at the date of the sale or
drew attention to any conflict of opinion.
(f) The authenticity warranty does not apply if
the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by
a scientific process which, on the date we published
the catalogue, was not available or generally
accepted for use, or which was unreasonably
expensive or impractical, or which was likely to
have damaged the lot.
(g) The benefit of the authenticity warranty
is only available to the original buyer shown on
the invoice for the lot issued at the time of the
sale and only if the original buyer has owned the
lot continuously between the date of the auction
and the date of claim. It may not be transferred to
anyone else.
(h) In order to claim under the authenticity
warranty you must:
(i) give us written details, including full supporting
evidence, of any claim within five years of the date
of the auction;
(ii) at Christies option, we may require you to
provide the written opinions of two recognised
experts in the field of the lot mutually agreed by
you and us in advance confirming that the lot is
not authentic. If we have any doubts, we reserve
the right to obtain additional opinions at our
expense; and
(iii) return the lot at your expense to the saleroom
from which you bought it in the condition it was
in at the time of sale.
(i) Your only right under this authenticity
warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund
of the purchase price paid by you to us. We
will not, in any circumstances, be required to pay
you more than the purchase price nor will we
be liable for any loss of profits or business, loss of
opportunity or value, expected savings or interest,
costs, damages, other damages or expenses.
(j) Books. Where the lot is a book, we give an
additional warranty for 14 days from the date of
the sale that if on collation any lot is defective in
text or illustration, we will refund your purchase
price, subject to the following terms:
(a) This additional warranty does not apply to:
(i) the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards
or advertisements, damage in respect of bindings,
stains, spotting, marginal tears or other defects not
affecting completeness of the text or illustration;
(ii) drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts,
signed photographs, music, atlases, maps or
periodicals;
(iii) books not identified by title;
(iv) lots sold without a printed estimate;
(v) books which are described in the catalogue as
sold not subject to return; or
(vi) defects stated in any condition report or
announced at the time of sale.
(b) To make a claim under this paragraph you must
give written details of the defect and return the lot
to the sale room at which you bought it in the same
condition as at the time of sale, within 14 days of
the date of the sale.

2. TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP TO YOU
You will not own the lot and ownership of
the lot will not pass to you until we have
received full and clear payment of the

The risk in and responsibility for the lot will
transfer to you from whichever is the earlier of the
following:
(a) When you collect the lot; or
(b) At the end of the seventh day following the

4 WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DO NOT PAY
(a) If you fail to pay us the purchase price in full
by the due date, we will be entitled to do one or
more of the following (as well as enforce our rights
under paragraph F5 and any other rights we have by
law):
(i) to charge interest from the due date at a rate of
5% a year above the UK Lloyds Bank base rate from
time to time on the unpaid amount due;

(ii) we can cancel the sale of the lot. If we do this,


we may sell the lot again, publicly or privately on
such terms we shall think necessary or appropriate,
in which case you must pay us any shortfall between
the purchase price and the proceeds from the
resale. You must also pay all costs, expenses, losses,
damages and legal fees we have to pay or may suffer
and any shortfall in the sellers commission on the
resale;
(iii) we can pay the seller an amount up to the net
proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by
your default in which case you acknowledge and
understand that Christies will have all of the rights
of the seller to pursue you for such amounts;
(iv) we can hold you legally responsible for the
purchase price and may begin legal proceedings
to recover it together with other losses, interest,
legal fees and costs as far as we are allowed by law;

may owe you (including any deposit or other partpayment which you have paid to us);
(vi) we can, at our option, reveal your identity and
contact details to the seller;
(vii) we can reject at any future auction any bids
made by or on behalf of the buyer or to obtain a

(viii) to exercise all the rights and remedies of
a person holding security over any property in
our possession owned by you, whether by way
of pledge, security interest or in any other way
as permitted by the law of the place where such
property is located. You will be deemed to have
granted such security to us and we may retain such
property as collateral security for your obligations
to us; and
(ix) we can take any other action we see necessary
or appropriate.
(b) If you owe money to us or to another
Christies Group company, we can use any
amount you do pay, including any deposit or other

owe you, to pay off any amount you owe to us

transaction.

Group company, as well as the rights set out in F4
above, we can use or deal with any of your property
we hold or which is held by another Christies

by law. We will only release your property to you
after you pay us or the relevant Christies Group
company in full for what you owe. However, if we
choose, we can also sell your property in any way
we think appropriate. We will use the proceeds of
the sale against any amounts you owe us and we will

H TRANSPORT AND SHIPPING


1
TRANSPORT AND SHIPPING
We will enclose a transport and shipping form
with each invoice sent to you. You must make all
transport and shipping arrangements. However,
we can arrange to pack, transport and ship your
property if you ask us to and pay the costs of doing
so. We recommend that you ask us for an estimate,
especially for any large items or items of high value
that need professional packing. We may also suggest
other handlers, packers, transporters or experts
if you ask us to do so. For more information,
please contact Christies Art Transport on +44
(0)20 7389 9060. See the information set out at
www.christies.com/shipping or contact us at
arttransport_london@christies.com. We will take
reasonable care when we are handling, packing,
transporting and shipping a lot. However, if we
recommend another company for any of these
purposes, we are not responsible for their acts,
failure to act or neglect.
2 EXPORT AND IMPORT
Any lot sold at auction may be affected by laws
on exports from the country in which it is sold
and the import restrictions of other countries.
Many countries require a declaration of export
for property leaving the country and/or an import
declaration on entry of property into the country.
Local laws may prevent you from importing a lot
or may prevent you selling a lot in the country you
import it into.
(a) You alone are responsible for getting advice
about and meeting the requirements of any laws or
regulations which apply to exporting or importing
any lot prior to bidding. If you are refused a licence
or there is a delay in getting one, you must still
pay us in full for the lot. We may be able to help
you apply for the appropriate licences if you ask
us to and pay our fee for doing so. However, we
cannot guarantee that you will get one. For more
information, please contact Christies Art Transport
Department on +44 (0)20 7389 9060. See the
information set out at www.christies.com/
shipping or contact us at arttransport_london@
christies.com.
(b) Lots made of protected species
Lots made of or including (regardless of the
percentage) endangered and other protected species
of wildlife are marked with the symbol ~ in the
catalogue. This material includes, among other
things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone, certain species of coral, and
Brazilian rosewood. You should check the relevant
customs laws and regulations before bidding on any
lot containing wildlife material if you plan to import
the lot into another country. Several countries
refuse to allow you to import property containing
these materials, and some other countries require
a licence from the relevant regulatory agencies in
the countries of exportation as well as importation.
In some cases, the lot can only be shipped with
an independent scientific confirmation of species
and/or age and you will need to obtain these at
your own cost. If a lot contains elephant ivory, or
any other wildlife material that could be confused
with elephant ivory (for example, mammoth ivory,
walrus ivory, helmeted hornbill ivory), please see
further important information in paragraph (c) if
you are proposing to import the lot into the USA.
We will not be obliged to cancel your purchase and
refund the purchase price if your lot may not be
exported, imported or it is seized for any reason by
a government authority. It is your responsibility
to determine and satisfy the requirements of any
applicable laws or regulations relating to the export
or import of property containing such protected or
regulated material.
(c) US import ban on African elephant ivory
The USA prohibits the import of ivory from the
African elephant. Any lot containing elephant
ivory or other wildlife material that could be
easily confused with elephant ivory (for example,
mammoth ivory, walrus ivory, helmeted hornbill
ivory) can only be imported into the US with results
of a rigorous scientific test acceptable to the US
Fish & Wildlife Service, which confirms that the
material is not African elephant ivory. Where we
have conducted such rigorous scientific testing on a
lot prior to sale, we will make this clear in the lot
description. In all other cases, we cannot confirm
whether a lot contains African elephant ivory,
and you will buy that lot at your own risk and be
responsible for any scientific test or other reports
required for import into the USA at your own cost.
If such scientific test is inconclusive or confirms the

material is from the African elephant, we will not


be obliged to cancel your purchase and refund the
purchase price.
(d) Lots containing material that originates
from Burma (Myanmar)
Lots which contain rubies or jadeite originating in
Burma (Myanmar) may not generally be imported
into the United States. As a convenience to US
buyers, lots which contain rubies or jadeite of
Burmese or indeterminate origin have been marked
with the symbol in the catalogue. In relation to
items that contain any other types of gemstones
originating in Burma (e.g. sapphires) such items may
be imported into the United States provided that the
gemstones have been mounted or incorporated into
jewellery outside of Burma and provided that the
setting is not of a temporary nature (e.g. a string).
(e) Lots of Iranian origin
Some countries prohibit or restrict the purchase and/
or import of Iranian-origin works of conventional
craftsmanship (works that are not by a recognised
artist and/or that have a function, for example:
carpets, bowls, ewers, tiles, ornamental boxes). For
example, the USA prohibits the import of this
type of property and its purchase by US persons
(wherever located). Other countries, such as Canada,
only permit the import of this property in certain
circumstances. As a convenience to buyers, Christies
indicates under the title of a lot if the lot originates
from Iran (Persia). It is your responsibility to ensure
you do not bid on or import a lot in contravention
of the sanctions or trade embargoes that apply to you.
(f) Gold
Gold of less than 18ct does not qualify in all
countries as gold and may be refused import into
those countries as gold.
(g) Jewellery over 50 years old
Under current laws, jewellery over 50 years old
which is worth 34,300 or more will require an
export licence which we can apply for on your
behalf. It may take up to eight weeks to obtain the
export jewellery licence.
(h) Watches
(i) Many of the watches offered for sale in
this catalogue are pictured with straps made of
endangered or protected animal materials such as
alligator or crocodile. These lots are marked with
the symbol ~ in the catalogue. These endangered
species straps are shown for display purposes only
and are not for sale. Christies will remove and
retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale
site. At some sale sites, Christies may, at its sole
option, make the displayed endangered species strap
available to the buyer of the lot free of charge if
collected in person from the sale site within one
year of the date of the sale. Please check with the
department for details on a particular lot.
(ii) The importation of luxury watches such as
Rolex into the United States is highly restricted.
Such watches may not be shipped to the United
States and can only be imported personally.
Generally, a buyer may import only one watch into
the United States at a time. In this catalogue, these
watches have been marked with a . This will not
affect your responsibility to pay for the lot. For
further information please contact our specialists in
charge of the sale.
For all symbols and other markings referred to in
paragraph H2, please note that lots are marked as a
convenience to you, but we do not accept liability
for errors or for failing to mark lots.
I

any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the

IMPORTANT NOTICES
CHRISTIES INTEREST IN PROPERTY
CONSIGNED FOR AUCTION
From time to time, Christies may offer a lot which
it owns in whole or in part. Such property is identified in the catalogue with the symbol next to its lot
number.
On occasion, Christies has a direct financial interest
in lots consigned for sale, which may include guaranteeing a minimum price or making an advance
to the consignor that is secured solely by consigned
property. Where Christies holds such financial interest on its own we identify such lots with the symbol
next to the lot number. Where Christies has financed
all or part of such interest through a third party the
lots are identified in the catalogue with the symbol
. When a third party agrees to finance all or part of
Christies interest in a lot, it takes on all or part of the
risk of the lot not being sold and will be remunerated
in exchange for accepting this risk based on a fixed fee
if the third party is the successful bidder or on the final
hammer price in the event that the third party is not
the successful bidder. The third party may also bid for
the lot. Where it does so, and is the successful bidder,
the remuneration may be netted against the final purchase price. If the lot is not sold, the third party may
incur a loss. Please see http://www.christies.com/
financial-interest/ for a more detailed explanation
of minimum price guarantees and third party financing
arrangements.
Where Christies has an ownership or financial interest
in every lot in the catalogue, Christies will not designate each lot with a symbol, but will state its interest at
the front of the catalogue.

that of the artist.
The date given for Old Master, Modern and
Contemporary Prints is the date (or approximate date
when prefixed with circa) on which the matrix was
worked and not necessarily the date when the impression was printed or published.
*This term and its definition in this Explanation of
Cataloguing Practice are a qualified statement as to
authorship. While the use of this term is based upon
careful study and represents the opinion of specialists,
Christies and the consignor assume no risk, liability
and responsibility for the authenticity of authorship of
any lot in this catalogue described by this term, and
the authenticity warranty shall not be available with
respect to lots described using this term.

at auctioneers discretion

The auctioneer may vary the increments during the course of the
auction at his or her own discretion.
1. I request Christies to bid on the stated lots up to the
maximum bid I have indicated for each lot.
2. I understand that if my bid is successful, the amount payable
will be the sum of the hammer price and the buyers
premium (together with any taxes chargeable on the hammer
price and buyers premium and any applicable Artists Resale
Royalty in accordance with the Conditions of Sale). The buyers
premium rate shall be an amount equal to 25% of the hammer
price of each lot up to and including 50,000, 20% on any
amount over 50,000 up to and including 1,000,000 and 12%
of the amount above 1,000,000. For wine and cigars there is a
flat rate of 17.5% of the hammer price of each lot sold.
3. I agree to be bound by the Conditions of Sale printed in
the catalogue.
4. I understand that if Christies receive written bids on a lot for
identical amounts and at the auction these are the highest bids on
the lot, Christies will sell the lot to the bidder whose written bid
it received and accepted first.
5.
Written bids submitted on no reserve lots will, in the
absence of a higher bid, be executed at approximately 50% of the
low estimate or at the amount of the bid if it is less than 50%
of the low estimate.
I understand that Christies written bid service is a free service
provided for clients and that, while Christies will be as careful as
it reasonably can be, Christies will not be liable for any problems
with this service or loss or damage arising from circumstances
beyond Christies reasonable control.
