1978 MV Agusta 789cc America 'Magni'Registration no. YUC 77TFrame no. 2210352Engine no. 2210352•Purchased in 2004•Enthusiastically used on road and track•Serviced and MoT'd regularly up to 2019•New Magni exhausts in 2018Motorcycle race engineers are rarely household names but one exception to this general rule is MV Agusta's legendary Arturo Magni, under whose direction the Italian manufacturer won no fewer than 75 World Championships. In 1949 Count Domenico Agusta had tempted Piero Remor away from Gilera to design MV Agusta's first four-cylinder race engine. Magni followed him in 1950 as chief mechanic and later managed the racing department during MV's Grand Prix 'golden age'. At the height of its powers the Italian team could command the services of the world's finest riders, among them Sandford, Ubbiali, Surtees, Provini, Hailwood, Read, and Agostini.When MV retired from Grand Prix racing in 1976, Magni and his two sons set up their own company in Samarate, producing performance parts for the MV Agusta 750 street bikes, including big-bore kits, special frames and chain-drive conversions. Magni commenced production of motorcycles under his own name in 1980, initially using the Honda CB900 engine, with BMW, Moto Guzzi and Suzuki-engined models following. In the mid-1980s Magni commenced what would turn out to be an immensely fruitful association with Moto Guzzi, using the latter's well-established transverse v-twin engines. Yet despite all his latter-day successes with Moto Guzzi, Arturo Magni's name will forever be linked with that of MV Agusta, whose reputation this great engineer did so much to forge. The first MV model officially to bear his name was the 'Monza Arturo Magni', a stretched (to 832cc) version of the 750S America. Official production of the Magni, together with that of all MV Agusta's other models, ended in February 1979, although Arturo and his sons Carlo and Giovanni continue to create bespoke MVs to special order. First registered in October 1978, this MV Agusta America has been modified using numerous Magni components: tank, seat, exhausts, etc. The machine was purchased in 2004 by the lady vendor's late husband and used on the road and at track events throughout their ownership, being serviced and MoT'd regularly up to 2019. The Magni exhausts were replaced in 2018 with new pipes supplied by the factory, and the machine comes with all its original America parts including the tank, seat, fairing, rear light, indicators, badges, etc. Ridden regularly on the road in 2020 and described by the vendor as in good condition, the machine is offered with a owner's manual and V5C document.

1948 Nimbus 750cc FourRegistration no. 843 XURFrame no. 7701Engine no. 12946Resulting from diversification by the Danish vacuum cleaner manufacturer, Fisker & Nielsen, the Nimbus motorcycle first appeared in 1919. Unusually, only inline four-cylinder models were built. Motorcycle production was suspended in 1928 to enable the company to concentrate on producing vacuum cleaners, and when the new Nimbus appeared in 1934 it was with an overhead-camshaft power unit that showed strong motor-industry influence, being constructed along car lines with integral cylinder block in cast iron and a detachable alloy sump. Foot change for the three-speed gearbox, a beefier front fork, and larger brakes had been added by the end of the 1930s, but from then on the Nimbus changed little until series production was ended in 1954, once again to free up resources for the vacuum cleaner business. Production was always on a limited scale, but such is the quality of the Nimbus that many remain in service today. This Nimbus has been in its current restored condition since 1988 when it was acquired by the Professor Fritz Ehn Motorcycle Museum Collection in Austria. Since its acquisition in 2008, the Nimbus has been one of the owner's favourite machines to ride. Not used for around 18 months, it will need light re-commissioning, including a new 6v battery, before returning to the road. Offered with a VMCC dating letter, V5C Registration Certificate, and a history file. Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Property of a deceased's estate 1922 Levis 2¼hp LightweightRegistration no. MD 5004Frame no. 8146Engine no. 10442Manufactured by Butterfield Ltd of Stechford, Birmingham, the Levis motorcycle derived its name for the Latin word for 'light', which was one of the diminutive machine's many virtues. One of the pioneers of the two-stroke motorcycle, the firm commenced manufacture of its 211cc, single-gear lightweight in 1911. Soon dubbed 'Popular', the model was a huge success for the Birmingham marque, remaining in production until 1926. Levis dominated 250cc racing in the early 1920s, winning the Lightweight category at the Isle of Man TT in 1920 and 1922, and duly introduced a new 247cc production model alongside the Popular for 1921. This Levis lightweight - a chain-cum-belt model equipped with countershaft gearbox - was restored circa 1985 and remained in the then owner's hands until it was purchased by the late vendor at Bonhams' Stafford Sale in October 2014 (Lot 358). The machine had not been used since 1989 and since acquisition has been kept in dry storage as part of a small private collection. The Levis appears in generally good condition but nevertheless will require careful re-commissioning and the customary safety checks before returning to the road. Offered with V5C Registration Certificate.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1950 Triumph 498cc Tiger 100Registration no. XSY 632Frame no. TF 16118Engine no. T100 16118Although Edward Turner's Triumph Speed Twin caused a sensation when it appeared at the 1937 Motorcycle Show, few of its admirers can have guessed how influential the design would prove to be. Light, narrow and from certain angles looked just like a twin-port single, it was just what the conservatively minded motorcycling public wanted, and the Speed Twin would prove enormously successful. Performance was exemplary for a road-going 500, around 85mph being attainable by the Speed Twin while the Tiger 100 sports version was even faster. The latter's performance was boosted by the use of high-compression forged pistons and polished ports and internals, the result being a machine that could touch 100mph in road trim and exceed it with the silencer end-caps removed. When production resumed in 1946, the T100 reappeared with telescopic forks in place of the original girders, and separate dynamo and magneto instead of the pre-war version's magdyno. This sprung hub-equipped Tiger 100 was purchased by the vendor in April 2018. Apparently original, the Triumph is offered in 'oily rag' condition, ripe for sympathetic re-commissioning or possibly more extensive renovation. Sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with the 2018 sales invoice; some expired MoTs; and a V5C document.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1966 Suzuki 247cc T10Registration no. CJP 435D (see text)Frame no. T10-13610Engine no. T10-13236Using the Colleda marque name, Suzuki launched its first 250 two-stroke twin in 1956. Of advanced conception for its day, the Colleda TT featured a swinging-arm frame with pressed-steel spine, Earles-type leading-link forks, four speed unitary gearbox, flashing indicators and what would later become something of a Suzuki trademark - a gear indicator light. The replacement T10 appeared in 1963 sporting Suzuki's new 'CCI' pumped lubrication system. A telescopic front fork replaced the previous leading-link type, and the newcomer featured an improved frame, a pressed-steel swinging arm, and full enclosure of the rear chain. An older restoration that would benefit from detailing, this T10 is offered for re-commissioning, or possibly more extensive renovation, and thus is sold strictly as viewed. There are no documents with this Lot. The registration 'CJP 435D' is listed in the HPI and DVLA databases; nevertheless, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1958 Piaggio Vespa 150 Scooter CombinationRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. to be advisedEngine no. VBA1M 36996Forbidden by the victorious Allies from resuming his aviation business after WW2, Enrico Piaggio instructed his chief designer Corradino d'Ascanio to design a scooter, for which he believed a potential market existed, particularly among women. d'Ascanio's aviation background meant that he was well versed in techniques of stressed-skin construction, and these were deployed in creating the Vespa's monocoque chassis. The name 'Vespa' (wasp) is said to have been inspired by the buzzing sound made by the single-cylinder two-stroke engine. Since its introduction in 1946, millions have been made and countless different versions come and gone, yet the Vespa of today remains recognisably related to the first one made 60 years ago. Classic? Most definitely. This rare Vespa combination has been owned by a well-known car collector for many years. Apparently nicely restored, the machine presents well apart from some pitting and light surface corrosion to the brightwork and would benefit from detailing. Both the saddle and sidecar interior appear to have been re-trimmed, and the odometer reading is 0.2km, which is presumed to be the distance covered since restoration. The engine turns over; however, no attempt has been made to start it. Its mechanical condition being unknown, the machine is offered for re-commissioning and sold strictly as viewed. Close inspection advised. Offered without documents.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1965 BSA 441cc B44 Victor ScramblerRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. B44.246Engine no. B44GP330Its 420cc engine developed from that of the humble C15 250 roadster, Jeff Smith's works BSA moto-crosser produced more power than it could reliably handle, resulting in a comprehensive engine redesign for 1964. For the new season the works 420 had a much stronger crankcase with revised main bearings, the C15's drive-side ball race and timing-side plain bush being superseded by a roller bearing and ball race respectively. Also new was a light-alloy cylinder with chromium-plated bore, which allowed a useful increase in compression ratio thanks to its superior heat dissipation. The changes made the bike a world-beater, Smith taking the 1964 Moto-Cross World Championship with seven wins in the 14-race series. The new crankcase permitted a further lengthening of the stroke to 90mm for a capacity of 441cc, and in this form the Victor scrambler went into production in 1965. Smith took the world title again that year on the works B44GP. This motorcycle was purchased by the current vendor on 9th June 2004 from a regional UK auction house described by them as possibly having in-period links to Jeff Smith. Unfortunately, the supporting correspondence referred to at that time has been lost. However, further research by the next owner may throw some light on this motorcycle's origins. Offered without documents, the machine is sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1956 BSA 350cc B32/B34 'Gold Star' ScramblerRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. CB34.4172 (see text)Engine no. DB.32.GS616The machine offered here consists of a B32 or B34 Competition (trials) model frame dating from circa 1956 and the engine from a 1955 Gold Star, both of these models being descended from the B31. Produced initially with rigid frame and telescopic front fork, the B31 was joined in January 1946 by a Competition variant, the B32. An alloy cylinder barrel and head, broadly similar to those used on the contemporary Gold Star but retaining a separate pushrod tunnel, became available as B32 options from 1949 onwards, as did plunger rear suspension in common with the rest of the 'B' singles range. Although far from competitive initially, the B32 was successfully developed over the next few years as it metamorphosed into the Gold Star scrambler and trials iron. This motorcycle was purchased by the current vendor on 9th June 2004 from a regional UK auction house described by them as a 'DB32 Gold Star' ridden by works rider Andy Lee. However, it should be noted that the frame number has been re-stamped and has one too many digits (there should be no more than three after 'CB34'). It seems unlikely that this would have been done by BSA. However, further research by the next owner may throw some light on this motorcycle's origins. Offered without documents, the machine is sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Offered from the Collection of the Late Peter McManus 1931 New Imperial 245cc Model 9Registration no. WJ 868Frame no. 14385 10BEngine no. 110 21965Builder of the last British-made machine to win the Lightweight 250 TT in the pre-war era (in 1936), New Imperial was unsurpassed for innovation during the 1930s, with models featuring pivoted fork rear suspension and unitary construction of the engine and gearbox. The marque was established in 1900 when Norman Downs acquired a cycle company in Birmingham, which he reorganised as New Imperial Cycles. The firm's first motorcycles, designed along Werner lines, were shown at the 1901 Stanley Show in London but were not well received. Not until 1910 did Downs try again, launching a conventional JAP-powered model - the Light Tourist - that would prove an outstanding success. In racing, New Imperial concentrated on the 250 class, winning the Isle of Man TT trophy for 250cc machines in 1921 and their first Lightweight TT in 1924, a feat repeated the following year. On the commercial front, the late 1920s saw production facilities expand and proprietary engines abandoned in favour of New Imperial's own power units. Among their more conventional machines of the early 1930s was the 245cc overhead-valve Model 9, as seen here. An older restoration, this New Imp is presented in 'barn find' condition, ripe for sympathetic renovation. We are advised by the vendor that although Ivan Rhodes changed the big-end bearing rollers, the engine requires further work to fully rebuild it. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding. Accompanying paperwork consists of an HPI printout and a V5C document.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Print historical detail : One of the RAF's oldest squadrons, No 41 was active with its Mk I Spitfires at the outset of World War II, first seeing action off the England's east coast in December 1939. Based at Hornchurch in May 1940, the Squadron was involved in the heavy fighting over the beaches at Dunkirk and, as spring turned to summer, its pilots were soon repelling the mass attacks mounted on Britain by the Luftwaffe - on 15th August 41 Squadron's small contingent of serviceable Spitfires intercepted 90 plus enemy aircraft. It was a typical day in the life of a front line squadron during the decisive contest that was the Battle of Britain. No 41 Squadron flew Spitfires throughout World War II, being equipped with the Mk XIV at the end of hostilities. Robert has chosen to show a Spitfire in the Battle of Britain colours of No 41 Squadron for his romantic portrayal of a Spitfire over St Michael's Mount, just off the coast of Cornwall - where the southwest corner of the British Isles meets the mighty Atlantic. This famous and historic landmark dating back to the Iron Age is steeped in folklore and legend. The castle of St Michael's Mount, perched atop a great granite rock that rises majestically out of the sea in Mount's Bay, for centuries made a tempting site for fighting forces. Here Robert cleverly uses this historic fort to provide a symbolic backdrop to a wonderful study of one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built.

Print historical detail : On 10 April 1945 thirteen hundred bombers of the Mighty Eighth set out to destroy the last of the Luftwaffe's jet force. But, unknown to the bomber crews and their fighter escort, the enemy jets were already airborne and waiting to spring their deadly trap. As the war in mainland Europe entered its final, bloody phase, the German Armies defending Berlin fought on with a savage determination, slowly disintegrating before the mighty weapon of war unleashed against them. What remained of the Luftwaffe was mercilessly pounded from the air, their airfields hammered relentlessly. Aircraft, fuel, spare parts, ammunition and pilots all in short supply but still they fought on, with deadly effect. At the forefront of the German offensive and pivotal during the defence of the Reich, were the highly advanced jet fighters of the Luftwaffe, and in particular the legendary Me262. The scene portrays B17s of the First Air Division with streaming contrails in the cold clear air as they turn for home. Several Me262s have already torn through the massed formation. but a P-51 from the escorting 356th Fighter Group has quickly spotted his target and presses home his attack. The hunter becomes the hunted as the Mustang pilot, Wayne Gatlin, skilfully positions himself behind the Me262 ready for the kill. Throughout the final stages of the war there were many examples of the determination and skill of Allied pilots flying slower piston-engined fighters triumphing over the cream of the Luftwaffe in their highly advanced but often temperamental jet fighters.

A lone Halifax of 405 Sqn RCAF struggles home the hard way - damaged and alone. One of the aircraft's engines is already out and another is smoking badly as the exhausted pilot and his crew fight to keep their unwieldy bomber airborne. Any marauding Luftwaffe fighters would have found them easy prey, but fortunately they have been spotted by a formation of Hurricanes from 253 Sqn on a routine patrol. For that final leg of their long journey this crew will at last have protection to see them safely back to base. Bearing the brunt of the RAF's incessant campaign were two heavy bombers, the stalwarts of Bomber Command - the Lancaster and the Halifax. Between them they accounted for over three-quarters of all the bombs dropped by the RAF, and Halifaxes alone accounted for a total of 73,312 operations, nearly a fifth of all missions carried out by Bomber Command.

The tactics suited the talents of the more aggressive pilots, and stars quickly emerged, none more prominently than Hans-Joachim Marseille.

This popular limited edition, the last in Robert Taylor's long sold-out Protagonist series, records Marseille's jubilant low pass as he returns to his Desert airstrip having just achieved his 100th victory. In the foreground his fellow pilots are seen clambering out of their Me109s having just completed another successful mission.

The print measures approximately 30.5 x 23.5 inches and has been stored flat, out of the light and is in very good condition. Print historical detail : The mighty Lancaster, the mainstay of RAF Bomber Command, crewed by volunteers from Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Rhodesia, South Africa, and many other nations opposed to Nazi rule, flew day and night sorties whenever there was a chance of reaching the target. Their unflinching courage, and selfless devotion to duty paved the way for the D-Day invasion, and the ultimate liberation of Nazi occupied Europe. Embellished with Goering's infamous quotation No Enemy Plane Will Fly Over The Reich Territory, S for Sugar took her bombs to Berlin, Hamburg, Schweinfurt, Bremen, Hanover, Wurzburg, Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, and other prime targets, flying the second greatest number of operational sorties of any bomber in the Command. Time and again Sugar brought her crew home, often limping back riddled with flak and bullet holes, occasionally on three engines, and once all the way back from the German capital with a badly damaged wing following a mid-air collision over the target. Robert Taylor's emotive painting shows S for Sugar on the morning of 27th April 1944 after her 95th sortie - a raid on the ball-bearing factory at Schweinfurt. As the battle-scarred bomber taxis in at RAF Waddington, other 467 Squadron Lancasters follow, heading for their dispersal points. Already the weary crews begin their informal debriefing. By the war's end this trusty bomber had completed no fewer than 137 operations over enemy territory, bringing her crew home every time. Now magnificently restored to her former glory, S for Sugar resides in the RAF Museum at Hendon, providing a lasting tribute to the gallant men of RAF Bomber Command. This famous aircraft was typical of, and ultimately came to symbolise, the men and machines of Royal Air Force Bomber Command. Flying initially with 83 Squadron Pathfinder Force, then 467 Squadron RAAF, Avro Lancaster serial number R5868, call sign S for Sugar, took part in almost every major attack on Germany between the summer of 1942 and the end of hostilities. With the life expectancy of a new Lancaster being just a few months, it was a miracle she survived the war. All autographs come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

VLADIMÍR LEBEDÄšV 1891 - 1967: MAN IN MOTION Ca. 1920 - 1925 Gouache, paper 37 x 26 cm Signed: Lower right in cyrillic "VL" The constructivist depiction of a man with a head covering falls into Lebedev's cubist experiments, in which he tried to capture the range of motion in one particular moment. Russian-Soviet artist Vladimir Lebedev is known around the world mainly for his outstanding works in the field of illustration for children's books. This glory seems to have overshadowed other aspects of his versatile talent with its dazzling light. Because at the same time Lebedev was one of the most universal painters of the Russian avant-garde. He also worked as a graphic designer and theatre set designer.
MARTIN BENKA (attributed) 1888 - 1971: FARMSTEAD COURT Ca. 1914 Oil on canvas 66 x 158 cm Signed: Unsigned The work HospodáÅ™ský dvůr, attributed to Martin Benka, bears a distinctive style of the painting school of Alois Kalvoda. The generously conceived theme of a simple country house in a bright midday light with strong textures is one of the possible trips to the open air, which Alois Kalvoda and his pupils took, and Martin Benka later continued in them independently. The idyllic setting has inspired him many times to create impressive views of cottages with old sheds and fenced gardens.The painting comes from the collection of Václav Laurin (brand Laurin & Klement).
ZDENÄšK LHOTSKÝ 1956: VITRUCELL BOWL Ca. 2014 Molten glass Vitrucell 14 cm, ⌀34.5 cm The unique honeycomb structure of vitrucellenables the interplay of form and light, in which the contrasting quality of precise design and fascination with the material are successfully combined. The technical specification states that the maximum weight of one piece of glass that can be melted is three hundred kilograms with a maximum glass panel size of 130 x 270 cm and a minimum thickness of 2 cm. The vitrucell technique is completely unique in the world and its imitation would involve the use of approximately 50 technological processes. ZdenÄ›k Lhotský is a broader artist who, in addition to glass, also deals with graphics, sculpture, photography and music. From a young age, he was close to other fields of art, which is evidenced, among other things, by the fact that in 1987 he became a co-founder of the Tvrdohlavígroup. Among other things, he became famous in the world for the production of a sarcophagus for the Danish royal family, designed by the artist Bjoern Norgaard.
FRANTIÅ EK SLABÝ 1863 - 1919: AN AUTUMN ALLEY Ca. 1910 Oil on canvas 55 x 45 cm Signed: Lower left "Fr.

His paintings were reproduced in the magazine Zlatá Praha and he also illustrated Erben's book Kytice. The autumn alley perfectly expresses a very emotional light situation, when the sun shines throughthe colored leaves and reflects onthe water surface.

Wachsmann" BedÅ™ich Wachsmann (nee Friedrich) first made a living from lithographic works, but in 1848 he moved to Innsbruck and painted landscapes steadily. His works were well received and he also became a teacher of painting. He often worked for the church and noble families. Among his most important clients were the Archbishops of Prague BedÅ™ich Schwarzenberg and Cardinal FrantiÅ¡ek Schönbornand his work was appreciated by Pope Leo XIII. The mountain landscap is one of Wachsmann's most important works, which is almost a prime example of his precise manuscript. The composition is balanced, brought to the smallest detail and at the same time represents a dramatic play of light on the road in the middle of the mountain massif.
JOSEF KRÁL 1877 - 1914: POND WITH WATER LILIES Before 1907 Oil on canvas 76,5 x 61,5 cm Signed: Lower left "J.

The simple twisted Art Nouveau shape is provided with a hand-painted decorative garland and emphasizes the fibrous structure, which mixes clear and opaque colored glass.

JOSEF NAVRÁTIL 1798 - 1865: TWO ACTRESSES Ca. 1850 Oil on cardboard 34 x 27 cm Josef MatÄ›j Navrátil was one of the excellent landscape painters, but he became famous mainly for his figural work. In the work Two actresses, she depicts Laura Schubert in a Rococo light composition. The lightness of his brush puts him on the verge of impressionism. His fame grew and in 1850 he became chairman of the Union of Fine Artists. Unfortunately, he later became paralyzed as a result of his illness and, despite all his talent, had to leave painting. His work inspired the work of photographer Josef Sudek.Published: Josef Navrátil, S.V.U. Mánes, 1940. Abb.160.
UNKNOWN AUTHOR: MADONNA WITH BABY JESUS Before 1450 Bohemia Polychrome and gilded wood 113 cm The statue of the Madonna and Child in the fading "beautiful style", also known in Germany as the soft style (weicher stil), which was represented in Bohemia, for example, by Master Theodoric. The most important Czech period statues of the Madonna from the Gothic period were created in this style. The beautiful style connects the sensory side with the content message and creates a cultivated concept in painting and sculpture - the figures are shrouded in richly pleated drapery, esophageal bends and the typical face is lively and noble. In changing daylight, it often appears to be expressively variable. The legacy of French Gothic is reflected here in the dynamic play of light and shadow in the folds of clothing. The Madonna carries on the hands of Jesus, who holds an apple - an attribute of sovereign power. She is dressed in a gold cloak with a blue background, with a crown on her head. The finely drawn faces of both figures are lined with contrasting detailed carvings of wavy hair, in the case of Mary partially covered by a veil. The sculpture is in very good condition and with the original polychromy.

In seiner breiten Malweise, die von weichen und fließenden Pinselstrichen und samtenen Farbtönen geprägt ist, erinnert er an Carl Moll. Das Interieur ist in ein sonniges Hell getaucht und fasziniert durch die Farbenpracht und die erzeugte Unmittelbarkeit.

Francis Sam Ohne Titel, 1967 Acryl und Gouache auf Papier Signiert und datiert Verso 30,7 x 22,8 cm gerahmt Sam Francis schafft in seinem Werk eine Präsentationsfläche für Licht und Farbe, wobei der figurative Aspekt einen untergeordneten Stellenwert einnimmt. Inspiriert vorallem durch die abstrakt expressionistische Kunst von Clyfford Still, zeichnen sich Francis‘ Werke der 70er Jahre durch diszipliniertere geometrische Elemente in Kombination mit harten ineinanderlaufenden Farben aus.

Stenvert Curt Die siebenundvierzigste menschliche Situation: Durch die Liebe den Tod überwinden können und wollen, 1977 Assemblage 78,4 x 53,8 x 59,5 cm Abgebildet in: Curt Stenvert. Neodadapop, hg. Von Agnes Husslein-Arco und Harald Krejci, Wien 2011, S. 159. Curt Stenvert nutzt die Kunst als soziales Medium und dient als „Existenzerhellung über das Auge“. Seine Ensembles strahlen trotz inhaltlichen Unbequemlichkeiten und Schärfe eine unterkühlte Sinnlichkeit aus. Er verwendet alltägliche Materialien und Gegenstände als Realitätsverweise, entfremdet diese und gibt ihnen eine neue Funktion. Die Muscheln, der Sand, die Blumen sind dem durch ein transparentes Tuch verhüllte, goldene Totenkopf sollen zeigen, dass die Liebe den Tod überwinden kann und will. Dieses Thema ist als eine Kritik an Krieg und Gewalt und als eine Bestärkung der Nächstenlieben zu verstehen. Stenverts Kunst beschäftigt sich vor allem mit Sozialkritik, Humanismus und zeigt eine ausgeprägte Ablehnung jeder Form von Krieg und Rassismus. Die letzte große Personale des österreichischen Künstlers wurde 2011/12 im Unteren Belvedere in Wien präsentiert. Stenvert Curt The Forty-Seventh Human Situation: Can and Want to Overcome Death Through Love, 1977 Assemblage 30,9 x 21,2 x 23,4 in Pictured in: Curt Stenvert. Neodadapop, ed. By Agnes Husslein-Arco and Harald Krejci, Vienna 2011, p. 159. Curt Stenvert uses art as a social medium and serves as a ``light of existence through eye``. His ensembles radiate an undercooled sensuality despite the inconvenience and sharpness of their content. He uses everyday materials and objects as references to reality, alienates them and gives them a new function. The shells, the sand, the flowers are the golden skull covered by a transparent cloth and show that love can and will overcome death. This topic is to be understood as a criticism of war and violence and as a reinforcement of charity. Stenvert`s art deals primarily with social criticism, humanism and shows a pronounced rejection of all forms of war and racism. The austrian artist`s last major exhibition was presented in 2011/12 in the Lower Belvedere in Vienna.
Mulley Oskar Berghof Öl auf Leinwand Signiert rechts unten 70 x 100 cm Den in Klagenfurt geborenen Oskar Mulley zieht es vorerst aus akademischen Gründen in die gebirgige Welt des westlichen Österreichs und Süddeutschlands. Nach seiner Ausbildung an der Wiener Akademie verlegt er seinen Lebensmittelpunkt dann endgültig in den alpinen Raum. Die Faszination für die schroffen Gebirgswelten bringt Mulley in den zahlreichen hochalpinen Landschaftsdarstellungen zum Ausdruck, die mit einem kräftig pastosen Farbauftrag und dem kontrastreichen Licht-Schattenspiel oft bäuerliche Häuser wiedergeben, die den groben Witterungen trotzen. Wir danken Herrn Herbert Ascherbauer für wertvolle Hineweise. Mulley Oskar Farm in the Mountains Oil on canvas Signed lower right 27,6 x 39,4 in Oskar Mulley, who was born in Klagenfurt, is initially drawn to the mountainous world of western Austria and southern Germany for academic reasons. After completing the Vienna Academy, he finally relocated to the Alpine region. Mulley expresses his fascination for the rugged mountain world in the numerous high alpine landscapes, which often depict rural houses with a strong impasto application of paint and the contrasting light and shadow play that defy the rough weather. We thank Mr. Herbert Ascherbauer for valuable advice.
