| 882 | **Daphne Day (1922-2014), Intertwined Figures, pen with ink, signed and dated 1954, 29cm x 22cm, within a gilt frame. Note: Daphne Day was a British painter who lived in Chiswick and whose work encompassed portraiture alongside subjects inspired by her interests in clairvoyance and esoteric traditions. She studied at the Chelsea School of Art in 1948 and exhibited at the Mall Galleries. Among her notable works was a portrait of Sir Winston Churchill, painted in 1965 and presented to the Duke of Marlborough. The portrait was subsequently exhibited at Blenheim Palace in 1966 and at the English-Speaking Union of the Commonwealth's commemorative Churchill banquet at the London Hilton Hotel in 1967. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Day attracted tabloid attention for her youthful appearance and her interest in clairvoyance and the occult, which also informed her artistic practice. In 1976, she was ordained as a priest in the Templar Church of the New Covenant. Her spiritual philosophy drew upon elements of yoga, Christianity and the occult, reflecting the eclectic spiritual interests of the period. In this respect, her beliefs invite comparison with those of Joan Cooper of Culbone, wife of the artist Waistel Cooper. **Please note: Artist's Resale Rights may be payable on this lot | 40-60 |

Her humanitarian work earned widespread admiration, and she was nominated for Germany's Woman of the Year in 1977, 1978 and 1979. Warhol, who became a close friend of Scheel, created this portrait in 1980. Combining photographic imagery with vibrant screenprinted colour, the work exemplifies the instantly recognisable portrait style he developed during the 1970s and 1980s.

Sunday B. Morning prints are distinguished by stamps on the reverse, specifically 'fill in your own signature', this example bears the publisher's characteristic blue-ink stamps, consistent with the later editions, dating from the 1990s to the present day. | 200-400 |

In 1972, two years before his release, he held his first exhibition in Bath and received the Arthur Koestler Award for Prisoner Art. The following year, he was commissioned by the Dylan Thomas Society to paint a portrait of the poet for presentation to US President Jimmy Carter. In August 1974, on his release from prison, Gilbert was permitted to collect £8,000 from the sale of his paintings.
