Mike Figgis 36 Dramatic Situations

Georges Polti wrote the original 36 Dramatic Situations in the 1850s in French. Polti synthesized all drama as a mixture of 36 situations. With examples from classical and French theatre, he illustrates every’ situation’ in the book. When Figgis used the book as an aid in setting up a film treatment, he found that his creativity landscape had changed quite radically and that ideas came forward with relative ease. He realized that the book of Polti was a reference system that might be a powerful tool for writers. So he started updating all the references, moving the focus away from the theater and mainly focusing on cinema.

The queen of fashion, the queen of hearts, and the queen: Sotheby’s Made in Britain auction features pictures of Kate Moss, Princess Diana and the queen among lots

Adopted from antiquestradegazette.com

Published on 14 Mar 2019

It is not quite a full house in a game of cards, but Sotheby’s Made in Britain auction has dealt three ‘queens’ alongside works by British artists including David Hockney, Howard Hodgkin, Dame Lucie Rie, Mary Fedden and Beryl Cook.

The auction, to take place on March 20 in London, is marketed as a “showcase” of the “very best in Modern British Art across the disciplines of paintings, works on paper, prints, photography, contemporary and studio ceramics and design”.

Estimates start from only £300, but the ‘queen’ pictures of fashion model Kate Moss, Princess Diana and The Queen are estimated in the thousands.

Sotheby’s has released the video below to promote the ‘queens’ ahead of the auction.

Kate Moss, Descending, (2007) by film director, screenwriter and composer Figgis (b. 1948) was filmed in a deserted mansion for part of four short films created in 2007 for the lingerie brand Agent Provocateur titled Miss X. The giclee print, signed and numbered AP 2/2 from an edition of 10, is estimated at £40,000-60,000.

Diana admired French fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier’s (b. 1943) work and, in 1989, commissioned him to photograph her, leading to his role as the first non-British official photographer for the royal family. His photographs of her graced Vogue magazine covers in 1991 and 1994. This silver print, flush-mounted on linen, signed and numbered 7/25 in pencil, Princess Diana (1990) is estimated at £20,000-30,000.
