| Sally Arnup FRBS, ARCA (1930-2015) | Sally Baynton-Williams was born in London in 1930; she recounted how at the age of two and a half she was given a lump of clay at nursery school and felt an instant fascination with the material. From a young age she set her heart on becoming a sculptor, and with the support of her family left conventional schooling at the age of 13 to train at Kingston College of Art. After spending a year at Camberwell School of Art, in 1950 Sally entered the Royal College of Art, where she would be tutored by eminent sculptors such as Frank Dobson and John Skeaping, who was himself a renowned animalier (see lots 167 and 168). Here she met sculptors Elisabeth Frink and Jacob Epstein, the latter whom she met whilst he was working on a monumental sculpture in Skeaping's college studio. In 1953 Sally married Mick Arnup, a painter and ceramicist whom she had met whilst studying at Kingston College of Art. In 1957 the Arnups moved to Holtby, near York, where they set up both home and studio to raise their four children and work together. Sally worked at the York College of Art from 1958 to 1972, where she was Head of Sculpture, and where Mick would become Vice Principal and Head of Foundation. Mick died in 2008, and Sally died in 2015 following a stroke. Their artistic legacy has been continued by their children; Hannah and Ben are well-regarded potters and Tobias a painter. Sally worked largely to commission, sculpting animals of all shapes and sizes. She insisted on working from life and liked to spend as much time with her subject as possible, studying their character, preferably in the animal's natural habitat or home. Animals were often taken to her studio; indeed, following a commission to make a sculpture of a swan for the Vintners Company in London, Sally borrowed two rescue swans from a sanctuary. Never working from photographs or rarely even sketches, Sally preferred to work directly in clay, a practise which shows through in the naturalism of her finished bronzes. This was a time-consuming process, and together with the complex lost-wax technique she employed to turn a clay model into a finished bronze, meant that Sally had a limited output of work during her career. Indeed, from start to finish, a life size sculpture could take three years to make. Sally worked every day except Sunday into her eighties, sculpting pets, working animals, farm animals and wildlife for private clients and institutions. Notable commissions included sculpting a cast silver leopard to present to HM the Queen by the City of York, which is now in the Royal Collection, and she also sculpted a life-size bronze of 'Storm', a fell pony, for Prince Philip, which she worked on in the stables at Windsor Castle. Her work has been exhibited around the world, including at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of Artists, the Royal Society of British Artists. Sally was also a Fellow of the Royal Society of British Sculptors. |

Darren Yeadon (b.1970) "Weird Fish" Signed, carrara marble, together with a companion, 21cm high and 19cm high respectively (2) Darren Yeadon began his work as a quarryman and stonemason in Whitby. Suffering a life-threatening road accident in his mid-twenties caused him to readdress his approach to life and kindled his intense fascination and appreciation of nature and the beauty of our time on earth. He began carving rocks and off-cuts from the quarry developing a strong personal style and dedication. He soon began to receive commissions and was sent to Italy to find a marble for a client. Seeking to develop a further understanding of the material he went to live in Carrara, preferring the quarries of Michelangelo. Now established in both Pembrokeshire and Whitby, he continues to work from his studio in many types of stone and regularly goes over to Italy to buy Carrara marble. He has held exhibitions at the Staithes Gallery Whitby, Tenby Museum, the Houses of Parliament, and the Pembrokeshire Botanical Gardens currently hold a number of his works. £250 - 400

Fyffe Christie (1918-1979) "Bacchus and Hestia" Signed and dated August 1972, oil on board, 121cm by 59.5cm Provenance: From the artist's estate Christie was born in Bushey, Hertfordshire but grew up in Glasgow, beginning his artistic training with a lithography apprenticeship, which he later left due to the medium's restrictive creative quality. After a period of war time service as a Bagpiper and stretcher-bearer in the 9th Battalion the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles), he studied mural painting at Glasgow School of Art. His pursuit of mural painting sparked his lifelong fascination with figures and their environments, so much so that he produced a series of drawings of his students whilst teaching at Park Modern School. Christie was drawn to figures, and often painted scenes composing nudes within forest-lined backgrounds, epitomising his fascination in the human figure and the natural world and one's place within it. £250 - 400

✓ Philip Naviasky (1894-1983) Head and shoulders portrait of a lady wearing a red patterned scarf Oil on board, 59.5cm by 49.5cm Provenance: Private Collection North Yorkshire This work has been authenticated by the artist's wife Millie Naviasky, see label verso Born in Leeds to Polish-Jewish immigrant parents, Philip Naviasky was a prodigiously talented youth and after attending Leeds School of Art was admitted to the Royal Academy Schools aged just eighteen (allegedly the youngest ever entrant). After winning a Royal Exhibition Award he studied at the Royal College of Art before returning to his childhood home and teaching at the Leeds College of Art. Naviasky's work is gradually attracting the attention his talent deserves and the increasing prices achieved for his portraiture reflect that. Owing to him living and working in Leeds, and eschewing the bright lights of London, Naviasky's discovery by the art market has been gradual, but his bold brush strokes, striking colours and ability to capture a likeness are beginning to develop a dedicated following. Although we do not know the sitter, it has been suggested that she may have moved in the same North Leeds artistic milieu as Naviasky. Her cool detached expression and effortlessly chic appearance only add to the mystery of this unknown femme fatale. £2000 - 3000
