Full title: Luc Tuymans (1958): 'The Valley', silkscreen in colours, print proof, [2012]Description: Work: 72,5 x 71 cm Folder: 74,5 x 73 cm 'The Valley' is a portrait of a boy that indirectly illustrates the power relations and restrictive moral codes of the early 1950s. The intimate portrait is based on a still from the film 'The Village of the Damned', metamorphosed by Tuymans as 'The Valley (of the Doomed)'. The work is charged with the characteristic Tuymans tension: the boy is prematurely aged and tormented. He averts his eyes: his gaze, haircut and clothes all bear witness to training and discipline (link).Condition reports and high resolution pictures are available on our website at www.coronariauctions.com.

Signed: cuvette signed Patek Genewie and numbered 56120. Dimensions: diameter 44mm. £800-£1,000 --- Tadeusz KoÅ›ciuszko (b. 1746) was a Polish general and statesman. Born into a noble family and educated at Warsaw’s military academy, his talents soon attracted the king’s notice and he was sent to Paris to further his studies. Returning to Poland in 1774, he took a position as a tutor in General Sosnowski’s household, but after an unsuccessful attempt to elope with one of his daughters, he fled to France, before heading to America in 1776 to join the Independence War and fight against the British. He was employed in the fortification of defences, and his state-of-the-art methods saw him made Chief of the Engineering Corps. In 1781, KoÅ›ciuszko conducted the Battle of Ninety-Six in South Carolina, and in 1783 was awarded US citizenship and promoted to Brigadier General in recognition of his services. KoÅ›ciuszko returned to Poland in 1784, but could not secure a military commission and found himself living on a small estate in relative poverty - exacerbated by his extraordinary (for the time) decision to free his serfs from service. With the arrival of liberal reforms, KoÅ›ciuszko returned to the military in 1789. Russia invaded shortly afterwards in 1792; using his talents and experience, KoÅ›ciuszko led the Polish to victory at the Battle of Dubienka on 18 July, despite being outnumbered by the Russians five to one. When the king eventually surrendered, however, liberal-minded statesmen such as KoÅ›ciuszko were forced into exile. After gathering support in Europe, he returned to Kraków in 1794 to launch an uprising. Despite gaining victories with their unconventional weaponry and battle tactics, the liberal army was finally defeated at Maciejowice, and KoÅ›ciuszko was taken to St Petersburg as prisoner. He was released after Catherine II’s death in 1796, and thereafter spent time in America - establishing a firm friendship with Thomas Jefferson - and later in Europe. He eventually settled at Solothurn in Switzerland, where he died in 1817, and is buried in Kraków - a large burial mound has been erected in his honour just outside the city.

Round medals 36mm diameter Gilbert George Herbert Cooke was born on the 28th March 1886, at Thong, near Gravesend in Kent. He entered the Royal Navy as a Midshipman in September 1902, progressing to Lieutenant in November 1907. His career in naval aviation commenced in February 1912 when he was posted to H.M.S. Dryad (shore establishment) for an airship course, but the outbreak of the First World War found him serving in H.M.S. Chatham in the Mediterranean. Chatham had an eventful start to the war, participating in the hunt for the German ships Goeben and Breslau, and being deployed against the light cruiser Königsberg in the East African theatre. She returned to the Mediterranean in 1915 to support the Helles landings, and Lieutenant Cooke transferred to H.M.S. Europa and served under Commander (later Vice Admiral) Henry Percy Douglas in surveying the Cape Helles beaches. He returned to the UK in November 1915, was promoted to Lieutenant Commander, and resumed aviation work. He married his wife Henrietta in March 1916, and was appointed Flight Commander in February 1917. His D.S.O. was gazetted on the 1st May 1918 "For zeal and devotion to duty during period 1st July - 31st December 1917", during which time he was stationed at RNAS Pulham "Training in Parcevals", at Cranwell ("Flying Duties"), and at RNAS Daedalus at Lee-on-Solent.The historic flight of Airship R. 34, (for which the recipient (now Captain (A/Major) was the navigator), was a pioneering achievement that took place between the 2nd and the 13th July 1919. The vessel encountered adverse weather conditions in the first ever East to West aerial crossing of the Atlantic, and arrived at Mineola, U.S.A., dangerously short of fuel. On the return flight she was diverted to Pulham, again owing to foul weather.Following his return Gilbert Cooke was Commissioned Squadron Leader R.A.F. (01/08/1919) and awarded the Air Force Cross (London Gazette 22/08/1919) for "..distinguished services to Aviation, in the successful voyages of Airship R. 34 from the United Kingdom to the United States of America and back". He was promoted to Wing Commander in 1925.According to family tradition, the interesting combination of D.S.C. and A.F.C. aroused suspicion in the mind of a civilian who observed Cooke's medal ribbons as he travelled by train, in uniform, during the Second World War. Knowing enough to recognise the ribbons, but not enough to reconcile a Royal Navy award with an RAF award, he mistakenly concluded that Cooke was wearing them fraudulently, and summoned the police to apprehend him.
