2006
Estimate £ 30,000 - £ 40,000

2007
Estimate £ 6,000 - £ 8,000
Bid Now
Donated by the artist, courtesy of Alexia Goethe Gallery (London)
Klasmer focuses on an examination of the history and status of monochrome painting, creating a series of mechanical apparatuses that replace the human hand as a means of making work. This concern with the formal reminds us that abstract painting often relies on the angle of view.

This is part of an ongoing series containing a list of 100 artists with a comment about them or their work. While highly subjective, the series attempts to establish a critical system to analyse art. The date 28.10.07 is when the list was written, which acts as a snapshot of a moment in time.

120 x 160 cm
2008
Estimate £ 12,000 - £ 15,000

This light is the first in the Israel Museum’s editions of exclusive commissions in design by leading contemporary artists to benefit the Museum.

Edition 1/3
2009
Estimate £ 1,500 - £ 2,000
Bid Now
Donated by the artist
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has been a source of inspiration for Attoun. This work is discernibly based on a toy walkie-talkie system, yet here the system ostensibly infuses blood between the two foci (the two cups) –the gesture of heart-to-heart infusion being as romantic as it is clinical.
Lot 14
FIONA BANNER

100 x 130 cm
1997
Estimate £ 4,000 - £ 5,000
Bid Now
Donated by the artist, courtesy of Frith Street Gallery (London)
This drawing contains only the onomatopeaic term 'WP' that repeated endlessly evokes the noise of spinning helicopter blades. The piece explores language as a physical manifestation, and relates to the artist’s fascination with Vietnam War films.

Estimate £ 800 - £ 1,000
Bid Now
Donated by the artist, courtesy of Alan Cristea Gallery (London)
This image of a tree, a post apocalyptic glow or sun and the stock listings of the Financial Times are a metaphor of our global virtual landscape. This potential cycle of life and death in an age of consumerism manifests our material Utopian dreams.

2005
Estimate £ 2,000 - £ 3,000

Evron’s works deal with the monumentality of every day sights. Concrete foundations of a building that was never built on the margin of the road turn to be a monument of Antiquity -a Parthenon like memorial.

Often pierced from one side to the other and interrupted by renegade protuberances, King’s sculptures end up conveying more emotional conflict than initially seems possible, but they possess optimism as well.

During a new moon, the artist spent an hour walking away from the camera while carrying three wide-beam torches. His path was illuminated and captured using a long-exposure, large-format photograph. The image invokes Plato’s allegory of the cave, appearing like a pathway of ghostly travellers shining inside an electrified landscape.

Losq integrates documentation of abandoned canals and buildings using diverse sources, including Victorian topographical prints and daguerreotypes. According to psycho-geographers, one maps a fictive history on these locations, subconsciously influenced by written and visual media.

Donated by the artist, courtesy of All Visual Arts LLP (London)
A cast of a plate/soup bowl has been made from a single swallows nest pulled down by farm cats. The piece is characteristic of Mackie's work which explores the relationship between material, process and form, and touches on ideas to do with primal urges, science, and ideology.

2009
Estimate £ 1,000 - £ 1,500
Bid Now
Donated by the artist, courtesy of Wilkinson Gallery (London)
Magill often integrates photographic materials and processes in a number of novel ways. Over the past few years her typically idiosyncratic re-visioning of the tradition of the romantic sublime has resulted in a series of hauntingly distressed paintings of the landscape.

Bid Now
Donated by the artist, courtesy of Haunch of Venison (London)
Deploying perspective and the viewer's expectation of volumetric space, the artist's depictions of cavernous but illusionary places propose that the project of utopian desire, however internally erroneous and eternally alienating, continues, wherein man is not only absent, but turned away.

2008
Estimate £ 3,000 - £ 5,000
Bid Now
Donated by the artist, courtesy of Alison Jacques Gallery (London)
Morrison's monochromatic botanical landscape is at once both familiar and foreign. Using two coats of acrylic paint, scanned into a computer, the image manipulated and projected onto the canvas. The different elements tend to be disproportionate in size. This is called 'cognitive landscape'.

Donated by the artist, courtesy of Alison Jacques Gallery (London)
Framed by her hairdo and by the foreground strip, we assume her awkwardness to be down to her training as a contortionist. Is the sitter a still life object like a primitive ceremonial sceptre, carved into a familiar anatomical shape with a mannequin head on top?

Donated by Maureen Paley (London)
Although the sculpture is recognisable, the subtle shift from real life to representation confuses the viewer’s engagement – like a prop which may have been depicted in the artists’ paintings of wistful youths full of ideals and dreams of escapism.

Donated by the artist, courtesy of Rokeby (London)
"I'd like to think the figures in my paintings remind the viewer of certain people or evoke memories rather than portray specific identities. Painting from old anonymous family photographs feels like tracing a lost past or unearthing forgotten histories." Gideon Rubin

Donated by the artist, courtesy of Man & Eve (London)
"Teichmann's utopian island-world lies somewhere between black and blue seas, and the fantasy of where one might go, or perhaps, even, where one has been. At the heart of the work is the experience of the primal loss of the mother, who necessarily turns away." Carol Mavor

Thuring extracts minutiae from larger structures, grafting in elements of incongruous scale and finely rendered detail to create her complex and contradictory compositions. The resulting vignettes don't adhere to traditional hierarchies and seem to slip between abstraction and figuration.

Donated by the artist and Paul Stolper (London)
A mirror that is clear save for a signature examines how the signature bestows value on a work, while the inherent reflective qualities of the mirror reflect Turk's interest in portraiture. "The mirror is a psycho analytical platform which is like a tease ...the mirror shows a version of the viewer."

Estimate £ 3,500 - £ 4,500
Bid Now
Donated by the artist, courtesy of Vilma Gold (London)
Von Hellermann’s big, breezy paintings are determinedly wispy, anecdotal, pastel-toned, half-finished. Considered as a German painter, her work goes against anyone who associates painting with big-theme gravitas and a latently masculine mastery.
