Leading the evening sale is a rare canvas of a London
scene, Factory in North London, by Lucian Freud, which is
one of an important group of urban landscapes that Freud
painted between 1970 and 1972, a period of transition in
Freud's work and one that, arguably, was instigated by the
death of his father, Ernst, in 1970. These intensely observed
and dispassionately objective portraits of the cold reality of
the London landscape are among the most memorable and
powerful of all of Freud's works (lot 9).
Another important work offered in the sale is by the
celebrated American photographer Richard Prince, Untitled
(Cowboy), executed in 1980-84, and belonging to his highly
sought after series of photographs of the "Marlboro man".
These images of the American cowboy, drawn from a highly
visible advertising campaign, question the mythology of the
American dream and the exploitation of the virile male (lot
4).
Another American artist represented in the sale is
Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose 2 ½ Hours of Chinese Food,
painted in 1984, was one of the first to be handled by the
Mary Boone Gallery. They were highly instrumental in
making him one of the most acclaimed young artists of his
time. The painting reflects the artist's erratic lifestyle and
love of takeout Chinese food, and is constructed from the
wealth of imagery and information all around him (lot 36).
A highly interesting work is Buckingham Palace with First
Prize by Malcolm Morley, the US-based English artist who, in
1984, was the first ever recipient of the Turner Prize
administered through the Tate Gallery in London. The most
important and best known of his paintings, Buckingham
Palace with First Prize was executed in 1970 (lot 39).
Further highlights include Jean Dubuffet's Paysage
éclectique, 1957, depicting the earth as a magnificent
assemblage of myriad natural forms (lot 15); Catalan artist
Antoni Tąpies' El accidente, 1951 (lot 24), Materia Sobre
Lienzo y papel collage, 1964 (lot 32); and many more.
