Notes: The title refers to two songs on the Beatles White Album, Sexy Sadie and Dear Prudence. The series Invitation To A Voyage is based upon a series of watercolours Procktor produced during a trip to New York in 1968, accompanied by Gervase Griffiths, singer and model and Ossie Clerk, fashion designer. This lot is from a series of works completed using quotes from Baudelaire, based on a series of drawings done in late 1968 in a New York apartment and subsequently worked up as a series of watercolours, then prints. Procktor's lover, Gervase, and the actor Eric Emerson appear in each of the five prints.

Auction: Editions: International Prints & Multiples, 20th Apr, 2021
A first to the local market, Editions: International Prints & Multiples was a special curated auction featuring editioned works by 20th century art legends like Alexander Calder, Antoni Tàpies, Henry Moore, Salvador Dalí, Robert Motherwell, James Rosenquist, Ernest Trova, Richard Smith and Victor Vasarely. It presented a unique opportunity for collectors to acquire works by sought-after, international artists.
Currency conversions are based on the exchange rate at the auction's start time and date. Bidders should verify the current exchange rate on the day of the sale. All invoices and payments must be made in South African Rands.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Logistics
While we endeavour to assist our Clients as much as possible, we require artwork(s) to be delivered and/or collected from our premises by the Client. In instances where a Client is unable to deliver or collect artwork(s), Aspire staff is available to assist in this process by outsourcing the services to one of our preferred Service Providers. The cost for this will be for the Client’s account, with an additional Handling Fee of 15% charged on top of the Service Provider’s invoice.
Aspire Art provides inter-company transfer services for its Clients between Johannesburg and Cape Town branches. These are based on the size of the artwork(s), and charged as follows:
Small (≤60x90x10 cm): R550
Medium (≤90x120x15 cm): R1,100
Large (≤120x150x20 cm): R1,650
Over-size: Special quote
Packaging
A flat fee of R100 will be added to the invoice for packaging of unframed works on paper.
International Collectors Shipping Package
For collectors based outside South Africa who purchase regularly from Aspire Art’s auctions in South Africa, it does not make sense to ship artworks individually or per auction and pay shipping every time you buy another work. Consequently, we have developed a special collectors’ shipping package to assist in reducing shipping costs and the constant demands of logistics arrangements.
For buyers from outside South Africa, we will keep the artworks you have purchased in storage during the year and then ship all the works you have acquired during the year together, so the shipping costs are reduced. At the end of the annual period, we will source various quotes to get you the best price, and ship all your artworks to your desired address at once.
Aspire Art will arrange suitable storage during, and cost-effective shipping at the end, of the annual period.
Collections
Collections are by appointment, with 24-hours’ notice
Clients are requested to contact the relevant office and inform Aspire Art of which artwork(s) they would like to collect, and allow a 24-hour window for Aspire Art’s logistics department to retrieve the artwork(s) and prepare them for collection.
Handling Fee
Aspire Art charges a 15% Handling Fee on all Logistics, Framing, Restoration and Conservation arranged by Aspire.
