(1905-1981) Nazi German architect and Minister of Armaments and War Production, convicted of war crimes at Nuremburg. Good Fine content T.L.S. on personal letterhead, 1p. legal folio, Heidelberg, December 10, 1971, to Jorg Michael Kiefer adjusting his statements from an interview. In part: '...I am sending you the corrected answers in attachment...He [Hitler] himself cultivated this image and never would have contributed to destroying it. When Hitler encountered children, he tried to capture captivate them. But the children for their part, did not see him as a good uncle. I often noticed that when my grandchildren came to visit they either immediately feel attracted or remain reserved. Hitler was the type who despite his best efforts did not approach the children... This competition for a leadership school, which I failed, and of which I still have a few sketches, shows that in 1933 I was still a long way from what Hitler wanted. Hitler wasn’t interested in me, because I was already aware of his architectural ideas...I was frankly appalled at what I put on tape, I've tried to sort it out...' File holes at the left margin, else fine.

Italian school; 17th century."Christ washing the feet of the apostles".Oil on canvas.Measurements: 32 x 39,5 cm; 46,5 x 52 cm (frame).It is represented here a scene narrated by the Gospel of John, widely treated in the baroque painting. Christ kneeling before Peter, prepares to wash his feet. The rest of the apostles surround the two figures and exchange impressions, looking stunned by the idea of being washed by their Lord. The figure of Jesus, distinguished from the others by his attitude and the light that seems to emerge from within him, determines the arrangement of the rest of the figures. The architectural space, with bare walls, has a greater presence on the right-hand side of the scene, being configured along a diagonal that allows for greater amplitude in the rest of the scene. The interior is spartan and dark, so that the figures are constructed by the chiselling of light. Stylistically, the work belongs to the Italian school of the Baroque, in which a classicist conception of drawing and pure, emphatic forms stand out.The Gospel of John tells us that during the Last Supper, Jesus rose from the table, took off his cloak and tied a towel around his waist. After pouring water into a basin, he began to wash his disciples' feet. Simon Peter pretended to refuse, but when Jesus insisted that otherwise he could have no part with him, he agreed to have his feet washed. The washing of feet was a common ritual in Eastern culture, in fact, in the Old Testament we find examples of this practice, for example in the visit of the angels to Abraham. Such an action is associated with hospitality, but Jesus' gesture towards his apostles adds a new significant dimension that alludes to humility.

JAUME PLENSA (Barcelona, 1955).Untitled, 1987.Aquatint etching on copper plate, copy 4/50.Signed and justified in pencil.Size: 18 x 18 cm (print); 50 x 37,5 cm (paper).Jaume Plensa studied at the Llotja School and the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts, both in Barcelona. He excelled in sculpture, drawing and engraving. His work focuses on the relationship between man and his environment, often questioning the role of art in society and the position of the artist. He currently lives in Paris, and was recently awarded an honorary doctorate by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Plensa began his career working with wrought iron mixed with polyester. Between 1983 and 1984 he began to mould iron using the casting technique, and developed a sculptural concept based on zoomorphic elements. His work gradually evolved, and he is now considered a precursor of Spanish neo-expressionism. In the nineties he introduced modifications in his work in both material and formal terms, and began to use different materials such as metal scraps, polyester and resins. During these years he produced series of walls, doors and architectural constructions, seeking to give space an absolute protagonist role. Between 1999 and 2003 Plensa became one of the pillars of world scenography, reinterpreting four classical operas by Falla, Debussy, Berlioz and Mozart with "La Fura dels Baus", and alone in a contemporary theatrical production, "La pareti della solitudine", by Ben Jelloun. He has held solo and group exhibitions all over the world, including a retrospective at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in 2000. In June 2008 he unveiled his work "Breathing", a memorial to journalists killed in the line of duty, at the BBC headquarters in London. Throughout his career he has received numerous distinctions, such as the Medal of the Knights of Arts and Letters in 1993, awarded by the French Ministry of Culture, and the National Prize for Plastic Arts in 1997, awarded by the Generalitat of Catalonia. Considered one of the leading representatives of the new Spanish art of expressionist tendency, his work is present in the best national and international galleries and art fairs, as well as in the main museums of Europe and the United States, such as the MoMA in New York, the Kemper in Kansas, the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Palazzo Forti in Verona, the MACBA and the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid.

MANUSCRIPT. A Tour from Rotterdam to Bergen opt Zoom, Antwerp, Mecklin, & Brussells [sic]. [Brussels: N.p.:] June 6th 1753. 31pp., manuscript, 8vo (206 x 158mm.) Hand-numbered pages in a single, densely written legible hand relating a tour of the Netherlands, including numerous military, cultural, religious, and architectural observations. (Toning, minor spotting, slight creasing.) Original wrappers, title in manuscript to upper cover (damp-stained, chipping to extremities). Note: a week-long tour undertaken by several members of the 'Browne' family. Having paid eleven guilders for the use of a 'yacht' the writer records in meticulous detail the fortifications of various cities, noting that Bergen op Zoom had been taken by the French 'six or seven years hence' and, although much of it rebuilt, retained 'marks of violence'. He learns the manner of 'springing a mine' and notes the architecture of fortification. There are many visits to churches, nunneries and monasteries, many abounding in paintings by Rubens. He is especially struck by seeing Rubens' 'Elevation of the Cross'. In Brussels (where much 'bigotry abounds') he is impressed by the beer ('the best table beer…that we met anywhere'), and describes the tapestries and a visit to where they were made. It's a busy tour with considerable detail. At the ends he admits they'd hired a man in each city ('for two shillings a day') to be their tour guide.Buyer’s Premium 24.5% (including VAT @ 0%) of the hammer price.
