contemporary art evening auction happening here at sotheby's london on october the 14th it's an exciting moment for the city freeze london and freeze masters return after a forced two-year hiatus and the october cell always marks the most dynamic moment in the annual sotheby's calendar this year it feels like everything is fizzing with even more energy right so i've got about half an hour let loose to explore this important sale with you and as you would expect there are those big names richter boetti those post-war masters but they're joined by the new kids on the block artist i love like flora yuknovic and titus kapha and also big names in contemporary art we've got freud shiraga and even banksy come on let's dive in [Music] it's fitting that we're greeted by three works by gerhard richter he's a painter that's a huge source of inspiration for so many artists around the world joining me to talk about these impressive works is james sevier hello james richter's been interrogating how to make an image and how an image is received for over six decades and you really feel the power coming off these walls were these conceived as a triptych no they weren't they're actually three individual works and we're selling them next week as individual works but they do look extraordinary together and it's so rare to have three paintings of this quality in the same private collection that have been together for over 35 years they're coming from the hellgert and walter laos collection which is one of the most extraordinary and important european collections of post-war art and in fact these paintings have never left germany they've been in the same collection ever since wow okay i mean you really feel the energy pulsating on them of course richter brought the squeegee into art history he brings this sponge in he starts working the canvas with this kind of unpredictable method but i can also see paintbrush marks here so is this is this a kind of turning point for him absolutely 1985 was the turning point for richter certainly in that decade but i think one of the biggest moments in his career in fact he had his first shows in america in 1985 he had his first show with marion goodman and with spirona westwater and 1985 you see this shift in his work from painting purely with the brush to really working with the squeegee and this painting in the two panels on the left and right you see this kind of almost battle between the squeegee and the brush there's a push and a pull you know creating with one hand and then it's scraping back with another and as a result you've got an amazing thickness of the paint in all these paintings a thickness of paint that's actually unrivalled in most of his abstract paintings yeah i mean it's extraordinary it's almost like three-dimensional in these parts here he's an artist of course who was known for really bringing photography into the world of painting brought them together as bedfellows and allowed them to kind of interrogate one another where the the boundary between you know realism and abstraction began and end and of course looking at this you think of him as a master who's really making us think about what we're looking at and thinking about depth and thinking about what is it to be abstract absolutely and richter has described his paintings as photography by another means and you have to look at his abstract paintings in the same lineage of his early photo paintings and where he went from there in the early 1980s he was producing the candle paintings and from there he went into the landscape paintings and in 1984-85 there's this dramatic shift and he suddenly produces these extraordinary bright textured abstract paintings that from there really influenced the rest of his career you can see why artists all over the world cite him as such a source of inspiration there's like a million lessons in this painting isn't there absolutely and richter is without parallel he's an artist like no other both in terms of the versatility and the quality and the range of what he's produced i mean he combines rothko and pollock and de kooning and all these other artists but rather than trying to make the picture play in a sacred space he's challenging it he's trying to make it contemporary and bringing as you said photography and painting together i mean it is very challenging it's very beautiful and you know what it's electrifying i think it's given me loads of energy for today thank you so much james thank you right we're leaving germany to come to italy and look at a group of post-war italian artists artists like castellani who are really pushing and pulling between different mediums you've got these nails underneath this canvas threatening the surface it becomes incredibly sculptural and really castellani is part of a really exciting group of young men who were interrogating what art was and how it should be made what i really want to look at is this beretti and i'm joined by isabel parkman hello isabel i mean it feels so paintly but it's not a painting tell us what it is it's a tapestry um essentially was handmade and the idea came from boetti but he didn't actually execute it so when we think back of the artepovra having a work that comes out of hand woven material is obviously very interesting this is part of a series that he developed from the late 60s early 70s right up into 89 with enormous geopolitical changes and they are very very meticulously executed take a very long time to make so this one being a super big example of the map house is actually very rare um we see the the beautiful shimmer that um even the borders and every aspect of this work has so yes it it has that quality of a painting maybe um yet it is um it's completely made out of bread and so it's the it's a vision of the world by boretti so he's taken each country and delineated it with the sort of image of its map so really kind of underscoring the sense of people and the constructive notion of what a nation is yes like many artists he um is incredibly interested in the world our planet and also in the fluid boundaries that exist between nations which obviously within that period of time have also evolved a lot yeah and his maps throughout these 20 years that were they were made really reflected that yeah i mean of course because you've got the fall of the berlin wall so there's the idea of this map actually becoming like a relic of a past world as the world moves on in a geo-political sense it's also fascinating to me that not only did he not make it but where it was made in afghanistan yes so he would outsource this again with the idea that the artist is the initiator of the idea and it was jen created with an element of chance or maybe an element of error sometimes that could happen which was part of the beauty of the creation here human made so sometimes these backgrounds are actually a completely different color we expect the scene to be blue but you can find maps where they're where it's pink or or purple even which are these wonderful variations and you can see sort of variations within it i mean you you know that this is not machine made but then for me that brings it back to the idea of playing with the medium because it feels even more painterly as a consequence all the different slight tones in the blue well it's an absolutely arresting beautiful thing to look at thank you so much isabel now from one artist pushing the boundaries of how an artwork is made and received to another who in fact did so here at sotheby's and joining me to talk about a work which is fast becoming iconic as emma baker emma you were here when sotheby's got bank seed i was um it was three years ago so it's come back just over three years later and what an event it was it was quite extraordinary and quite stressful to be going through so the work enters the auction room as one piece girl with a balloon from 2006 the hammer goes down it does and it becomes something else entirely so you know a lot of people have focused on the fact that banksy destroyed his own artwork during the auction but actually he created an artwork you know it was girl with balloon dated from 2006 and a few days later after the auction happened it became lovers in the bin from 2018. so yeah it's just remarkable in that sense how we were all there this event happened and it's kind of a moment in history now i mean it took everybody by surprise you can see the footage of people watching the the things seem to slip out of the frame and start to shred it it was supposed to completely shred and so therefore be called lovers in the bins you would have had all these straight lines in the bins the idea and banksy put this on his own instagram so after it happened at the auction he put all these series of videos up saying back in 2006 i put a shredder in a painting waiting for one day when it would come to auction and then there was another video that he released where it said it worked in rehearsals every time and you could see it just coming through and then totally ending up on the floor in the bin which is why it was called lovers in the bin but it didn't do that it malfunctioned it stopped halfway through and the result is this which i think ultimately is a more powerful work yeah i mean arguably it worked out beautifully the the that it sort of supposedly backfired in some way so there's a huge precedent for destruction as a mode of creation in art history you think of rauschenberg erasing de kooning's drawing or jean tangley making these kind of works that deconstructed in front of the art world's eyes the chapman brothers with goya i mean it's part of a whole art tradition i mean it's cheeky isn't it but it's also very powerful and clever i mean it's a very very perceptive insight into the mechanization of the art world totally and you know that's what banksy was doing he was making a comment on value on money the art world and the establishment and this is what on who banksy is he's totally anti-establishment yeah you know we're not the first institution to have been bank seed i know you know this yeah i used to work at the british museum and i got back to you yeah exactly so like around 2004 he was pranking or not pranking or just doing these performances these artistic happenings where he was inserting his own works in these revered institutions such as the british museum he did it with tate he did it with moma he did it with the louvre so i mean 2018 he did it with us and i think it was a moment in his market where prices were beginning to just go a little bit nuts and i think he wanted to play with that and to really pull the rug from out out from under us and we fell for it hook line and sinker i suppose the irony is he's become an even more popular artist he's become even more famous his instagram went through the roof people came and cued in the rain to see this i mean it wasn't it wasn't the end of the story it was almost just the beginning of a totally new chapter totally a new era for banksy i think you know as an observer seeing this event it's it has brought his work to a lot more people a lot more collectors we see purchasing bidding for works by banksy not just sort of people interested in street art it's people who are interested in present-day masterpieces so someone might bid on a mono they also might bid on a banksy like this so it really has opened out his work to a whole different remit of people and just reinforced his relevance and his importance as an artist today yeah well it's exciting to see it come back well obviously the whole world is going to be watching this one go under the hammer absolutely and we're just hoping that it's going to be a lot less stressful thank you emma thank you now from an anonymous artist who used stealth with a little help of electronics to produce a work to someone who used their body in a radical way to produce a painting i'm here to talk to marina ruiz columba about this work which is very dynamic and it feels even more dynamic when you know how it was made tell us so um this painting was made by kazuo jiraga in 1961 he was part of the kutai art association and what this association was all about was making new work every day his technique was very particular he would hang a rope from the ceiling and then pour the paint directly onto the canvas which he had placed on the floor and then he would swing from this rope and we can see here the gestures of him traversing the canvas with his feet it's such a tactile canvas but also we can almost feel the physicality of shiraga swinging across the canvas and making these wide sweeping gestures and pushing the paint all around the canvas i mean it's just extraordinary the idea of the acrobatic painter and this is not just a visceral extraordinary work it's also conceptual tell me about what it's based on absolutely this work is part of the water margin series which are all based on the tales of the water margin this is a chinese classic it's an epic novel that was written in the 14th century and shiraga was given a copy and illustrated copy when he was a teenager and he became absolutely obsessed this sparked a great interest in chinese culture in general and all the works in this series are titled after the names of the characters in the novel there's 108 of them and some of them were heavenly creatures others were earthly demons and they all fought this war and we can almost feel this sense of a battle epic battle going on on the surface of this canvas absolutely i mean i'm not familiar with 14th century classical chinese literature but i want to be after i look at this painting and i know that it comes from a very special collection belonging to an artist i love it when an artist loves other artists this is the greatest honor for us to be able to offer a work that has belonged in the collection of anish kapoor and it's not only an incredible thing to be able to offer something with an amazing provenance but also to get a glimpse into the mind of someone who is an artist himself but who is also a collector and who um which artists he appreciates and he thinks of and maybe he is inspired by when he's producing his own work um i personally see a glimpse of kapoor in these canvases his interest in pigment and this beautiful colors but also the expressivity of the paint how he's interested in in the materials in the texture um you could almost see everything in this camera yeah they're two radical artists you can see them here together communing in some way thank you so much marina thank you we're moving on from a visceral abstract painting now to an early drawing by lucy and freud a very finely detailed work joining me to talk about it is tom edison hello tom tell me where is freud in his life when he makes this so this is a welcome paper from 1951 so ford is in his early 30s at this point and really had been working in earnest for the past decade really this is really fascinating uh point in his career this is a painting in connemara in the west coast of ireland and he went there for the second time in 1951 with his then wife anne and it really was the start of a love affair with freud and ireland and what we see here is a really wonderful meticulously executed um with high degrees of scrutiny and observation um which is so emblematic of freud's career from his works on paper in the 40s and early 50s throughout his paintings and if you look closely here you just see such painstaking detail and observation you have this wonderful steamboat um on the shore of connemara um this was a boat i think which used to take day trippers from sort of casual hill which you can see in the distance but what freud's done here really is you really get a sort of focus you see he's left all of the sky left to shore and it's really pinpointed down into the main focus of what he's looking at it's amazing because he allows the paper to do the work for him so you really get the sense of the time and space all this half of it's blank really but yeah it feels like a very intense very realistic kind of work i mean the the different styles of cross hatching i mean it's like he's looking at someone like gilandayo an italian renaissance master this is magnificent yeah it's it it's really it's so tight and focused and when you step back you don't quite see all the details you say it's sort of this big mass but it's so um linear and you get to see little boats further down the shore and this connemara pony next to the wall who's tied up and so at this stage it's not like he's making lots and lots of paintings i mean drawing really is actually the core of his practice yeah pretty much from the 40s the predominant nature of his work was works on paper um and you get a few paintings in the late 40s of his wife kitty garman and a few other protagonists but really drawing was the real focus he was so uh intent on it um and it really stems the foundations of the rest of his career when we look when we think of his paintings you know the grand big broad brush stroke paintings of the sort of 90s and 2000s the foundations of which are that huge uh meticulous observation that is so prevalent here in this drawing well it just has this absolutely beautiful powerful quiet energy thank you so much tom thank you moving on from a british master to less established names i'm going to be talking to hugo cobb about these artists hi hugo yeah these are our young and emerging artists in the sale many of them are appearing in a sotheby's evening cell for the first time this is miriam khan yep we have this wonderful painting by hilary petches this from the south african artist singer samson and this amazing group portrait by salman tour wow i mean i really love frisbee because it is about seeing the great but it's also about experimentation all these younger voices i mean this for me is such a good example of that flora novak who i used to live down the road yeah this one we're really particularly excited about i think first and foremost this is just a dazzling painting the pure energy of the brush strokes and the way that she blends figurative and abstract modes of depiction you know that's something that's really really intentional by this artist she's spoken about blending the the macho abstraction of the contemporary era with the prettiness of the old masters yeah and of course she's an artist who's only born in 1990 but she rubs shoulders so seamlessly with those rococo masters absolutely yeah and and out of them i would say that that fragonard is the one that this picture is most directly based from yeah but she's not just adopting that language and imitating it she's actually subverting it you know where fragonard was creating these these very pretty as we say scenes full of blushing nudes they were absolutely titillation for the male gays meanwhile yaknavik's figures refused to be seen so it's a very very intentional point there yeah she really subverts that traditional male gaze absolutely and actually she gives us a painting for the 21st century and i love the way that you kind of pushed and pulled thinking about the figures but then thinking about the brush strokes and actually the bravery of it to have it be so dynamic with the drips of paint here these really quite aggressive marks at the top and actually just passages where you have bare canvas there's a lot happening i mean it's extraordinary that she's so technically skilled um at such a young age yeah and although we speak about the old masters a lot standing in front of her work i think you can also look to contemporary painters particularly cecily brown who she's regularly compared with and so this is the first time in the evening sale for her yeah and i think it's really really exciting to to show yukonovic's work alongside such painters as gerhard richter yeah bridget riley yayoi kusama and see her rubbing shoulders with these guys and absolutely going toe to toe with them yeah really deserving her place well i'm really looking forward to seeing what happens it's a really special work thank you from one artwork that brings the ideals of art history through to the present age to another and joining me to talk about it is antonia gardner here in the contemporary art day sale antonia this is by titus cafe and it's quite a thing to look at indeed it is so this is one of his iconic shred paintings it's mata from 2008 it's one of our top lots of the day cell to make these as you can probably see from the work itself it takes a huge amount of work he first copies old master paintings really really very delicately painting them and then he uses all sorts of different methods to kind of cut puncture some of them are covered up he uses oil rag to kind of deconstruct the image so this one's really been shredded and it looks like it started out quite precise with a scalpel and then obviously it's got very frenetic and there's this amazing push and pull you get these almost these puncture marks as well yeah exactly so he he cuts through them again as you say it's very very precise um way of cutting through them and in doing so kind of really references this long um art historical lineage where you know artists like lucha fontana slashed through the canvas opening up two-dimensional space to the three dimensions and here he uses it to address kind of art history and the kind of the blank spots in art history you know where black figures have been ignored uh by by art history so it's a sort of a very exciting moment where you have a african-american artist in the 21st century looking back at art history but repurposing it repurposing it using it to his own ends and actually giving her something entirely new i mean it's it's a performative kind of art isn't it definitely yeah there's a lot of performance in it and you kind of it the final result is very much you can feel the processes that have that he's been through to create them yeah it's kind of very it's very physical in its being as well and there's another work over here which is so physical i can feel it kind of safe eliminating off the wall and this is by jardi fado jatimi she must be one of the youngest artists in the sale yeah she's one of the youngest and actually she's the youngest in the whole tate collection which is a super exciting thing and this is a model mine that's never confined and what's particularly incredible about this work is the extraordinary color that you just mentioned and she takes an influence from all sorts of different places anime and that japanese influence you can definitely get from the present work yeah i mean i think what's amazing is that the color palette is so robust and that it's so seamless but yet actually there's fluoro in here things are clashing with each other there's things which are translucent and gentle other parts which are kind of quite aggressive there's an entire kind of cacophony of noise being marshaled by her here definitely and it she kind of creates them very much as a sense of identity you know there's this real playfulness to them as well kind of elements of childhood with these really as you mentioned the floral colors popping through and it's just an extraordinary cacophony of brushworks as you say so do you think that this really is a sort of painting about her identity or finding identity or are we looking at kind of like a inner psychological working of this young artist's mind she's spoken a lot about how it's reconstructing her identity on the canvas and i think that's very much what you see here you know there's moments of calm these kind of huge moments of passion and injection of color and vibrancy in it yeah wow and it feels like it has just literally been painted yeah it's just feels like it's still wet it feels like the energy of her is still on the wall and it is this is this is from 2021 um and it's actually being sold to benefit wwf and art for your climate which is a really amazing course of how kind of bringing the art world um into the climate issues that are happening in the world today oh okay amazing well i love it even more thank you so much no problem thank you from one artwork charting a complex emotional landscape to another and joining me to talk about it is oliver barker who's actually the auctioneer for the contemporary art evening okay good morning hello ollie i mean i've just seen the rhaegar exhibition at the date britain and i was just staggered she's just such a singular artistic force you know i think it's it's so right when you look at the surface of these pictures it's very difficult to tell kind of the dense complexity of everything that's really going on behind them but this is no different this is a work which was created at the beginning of a series called the dog woman series in 1994 when uh paula was coming to terms really with the death of her husband victor willing and of course you know she up until that point hadn't really been an artist in her own right but of course she begins to eclipse uh him of course and very much in pictures like this and i think the dog woman series really is all about um women being sort of trivialized almost as a bastille force but of course it's much more it's womanhood sort of really been celebrated on its own sort of shape and also taking a wide range of influences in this case actually from portuguese kind of legends in fact uh of a woman in fact who lived in isolation and went mad living in isolation with winds sort of coming down her sort of chimney and ended up eating and devouring the animals that were around her very rigouresque stuff really um especially post lockdown thinking about the madness of isaiah yes that's absolutely right but you know i think that here is an artist really at the height of her powers not only sort of in terms of kind of addressing the kind of the man woman and the divide between the two but also kind of technically really attacking you know pastel and i look at these pastels and this one being actually on canvas and feel this is you know the best pastel pastels kind of technique maker since digger yeah you know the the the level of kind of you know mastery of that medium a notoriously difficult medium is quite extraordinary and i think the other thing also is that this work is notable as the end of the dog woman series the very last one and it's titled good dog and you can see that she uh autobiographically in the picture is taking this of somewhat subservient sort of pose uh almost looking up at her master to say yes i've been good but at the same time being assertive and being strong and being feminine there's so much going on here yeah i mean always with rhaegar you get all of this psychological depth i mean it's very compelling well i've had the most glorious time sluicing my way through art history with all these amazing pictures thank you so much for having me and i'm going to hand over to you for the
