Lot 577
Wayan kulit, shadow puppet from Bali. The silver paint on the face is to shine when lit by an oil lamp. 75 x 20cm. Mid 20th c. Notes: Wayan kulit, shadow puppet theatre, is Bali's most complex and sacred art form. It is a traditional medium of moral and spiritual instruction, and it also wonderfully entertaining. An oil lamp is hung behind a screen of stretched cloth. A single puppeteer, dalang, manipulates all the puppets, often many at one time, speaking in a myriad of voices and several different languages while conducting a small ensemble of gamelan musicians at the same time.

Artist: Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987). Title: "Marilyn Diptych [print]". Medium: Original color offset lithograph. Date: Printed 1970. Dimensions: Overall size: 7 5/16 x 11 1/2 in. (186 x 292 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed in black marker, center right. Edition of c200. Medium weight light cream coated wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Fine condition. Comment(s): This rare print was published as part of the Warhol portfolio of eight prints which was included in the publication/portfolio "Artists & Photographs" published by Multiples, Inc., New York City, in association with Colorcraft Inc., NYC in 1970. The publication consists of a cardboard box containing artist's publications, multiples, artist's books, etc. by Warhol, Rauschenberg, Ruscha, Nauman, Gormley, Christo, Lewitt, and others. The stated edition size was 1,200 but as Peter Gidal indicates "…rumors abound that the art-box never got made in more than 800 copies, but even the origination gallery can no longer verify it. What is certain is that no "extra" copies of any of the multiples were made, and that the Gormley was in an edition of 200 and the Rauschenberg in an edition of 400. This substantiated the fact that complete boxes could never have been more than 200." Warhol's contributions were printed in different sizes, scales, and mediums. Our example is stamped verso "File Copy - Colorcraft Inc. - Please Return" indicating that it came from the Colorcraft archives. No auction records located.

Very good condition; colors strong; some dimples in the image; pinholes in corners; original folds as issued for mailing. Comment(s): Rare. The companion piece to the legendary, iconic, and famous exhibition poster (offered elsewhere in this auction) of two of the greatest artists of the latter part of the 20th Century, standing side by side, perhaps the most poignant and enduring image of the 1980's NYC art scene. Our example is the second variant of the "invitation poster" showing Warhol landing a punch on Basquiat's chin. The second variant is identical to the first variant except for the admission price, which is "Admission Twenty Dollars" in the second variant and "Complimentary Admission for Two" in the first variant. While the poster with Warhol and Basquiat standing side by side (titled "Tony Shafrazi * Bruno Bischofberger Present: Warhol * Basquiat Paintings, September 14 through October 19, 1985, 163 Mercer Street, New York) is occasionally obtainable, the alternative version (our "invitation poster") was issued for a one-night only event at the Palladium (not at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery) and very few were printed. We could locate only 2 auction records of this poster in the past 28 years, with only one of these being signed, which sold for $4,153 (€3,222) at PIASA, Paris, November 23, 2008, lot #413. The photograph is by Michael Halsband who also took the picture for the exhibition poster. Undoubtedly to be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonne of Warhol's non-commissioned posters by Paul Marechal. The full title of the poster is: "Palladium Presents Warhol * Basquiat Paintings, Saturday * September 14 * 1985 * 10 PM, Palladium, 126 East 14 Street, Exhibition at Tony Shafrazi Gallery, Admission Twenty Dollars.".

Fine condition. Comment(s): An impression of this rare print sold for $3,600 (including premium) at Swann Galleries, New York City, 10/4/2007, Lot #7. Smith made another linoleum cut of this subject with the pose reversed – impressions dated 1941 are in the collections of Hampton University, VA, and Harmon and Harriet Kelley, San Antonio. Smith, an African-American, moved to Cleveland from Chattanooga at the age of 12. During the early 1930s he studied at the Playhouse Settlement of the Neighborhood Association of Cleveland (now called Karamu House), one of the oldest ethnically and racially diverse cultural institutions in the United States. It was here that Smith found his passion for printmaking and began making linocuts. He exhibited widely in Cleveland, New York, Hartford, and Atlanta during the 1930s and 1940s, before subsequently moving to Los Angeles. He drew praise from the likes of Howard University artist and art historian James Porter, who lauded Smith as “one of the dominant personalities of Negro printmaking” in his 1943 publication, “Modern Negro Art.” Image copyright © The Estate of William E.

Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Image copyright © Joel-Peter Witkin.

(206 x 127 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed lower right. Textured tan wove paper. Good to very good condition. Comment(s): Undoubtedly a study for a larger work. In the early 1930s Krasner regularly visited the Museum of Modern Art in New York to analyze, absorb and emulate the works of the European Modernists: de Chirico, Miro and Henri Matisse were among her favorites. During this period Krasner was also taking life drawing classes, under various instructors and producing studies of the nude in pencil, conte crayon, ink and charcoal. In 1937 Krasner enrolled at the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts and, for the first time, became seriously engaged with Cubism (courtesy National Gallery of Australia). She became one of the most influential American abstract expressionist painters in the second half of the 20th century. On October 25, 1945, she married artist Jackson Pollock, who was also influential in the abstract expressionism movement. She was born Lena Krassner (outside the family she was known as Lenore Krasner) in Brooklyn, New York to Russian Jewish immigrant parents from Bessarabia. Image copyright © Estate of Lee Krasner/ARS.

Artist: Yves Klein (French, 1928-1962). Title: "Timbre bleu". Medium: IKB pigment on postage stamp. Date: Composed 1957-1959. Dimensions: Overall size: 1 x 3/4 in. (25 x 19 mm).Lot Note(s): Edition unknown. Fine condition. Provenance: The stamp was originally a gift of the artist to the head of the design department for printed matter and catalogs for the Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden in the late fifties and early sixties. Bengtsson Fine Art, Sweden, acquired them from this employee and they then were purchased at artnet.com. Comment(s): Klein Timbre Bleu stamps are rare and individual stamps have sold at auction as high as $11,930 (€9,000) (Piasa, Paris, 01/21/2014, lot #94). Effectively Yves Klein paintings in miniature, these stamps are from a series Klein made in 1957 by painting blocks of blank stamps with what was to become his signature, the patented blue pigment officially registered as IKB, or "International Klein Blue". The blue stamps were created for mailing invitations to the opening of two pivotal exhibitions, in May 1957, at the Galerie Iris Clert Gallery and the Galerie Colette Allendy Gallery, both in Paris. The postal authorities were cajoled by Klein into accepting the stamps as if they were actual postage stamps printed by the French government, and they delivered all of the invitations. Klein's handmade blue stamps thus formed an important part of the "performance" that every Yves Klein gallery opening entailed (in addition to being a venue, in the conventional sense, for introducing Klein's latest work to the public). Klein continued to use the stamps for two years following their 1957 introduction. Image copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / ADAGP, Paris. [29883-1-1600]

A Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from the Artist accompanies this lot. Comment(s): A listed artist, Karima Muyaes is currently one of the most innovative and talented international painters/printmakers. A major monograph on her work authored by Avelina Lesper, the foremost contemporary Mexican art critic, will be published early in 2021. Muyaes’s work has sold at Sotheby's (New York City), Swann Auction Galleries (New York City), Martin Gordon Auctions (Phoenix), Louis C.

No auction records located. Issued to promote the “Lucian Freud: recent work” exhibition at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London, England. The show consisted of works by Freud created between 1945 and 1993. Apparently there were very small quantities of this lithograph printed for distribution at the opening night reception and they went quickly. Our example not to be confused with the original etching.

(645 x 470 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed and dated, verso. Good condition; the work has been water stained verso, primarily at the edges of the sheet and the upper right area, which in some instances telegraphs through to the recto; surprisingly it little detracts from the image and remarkably the work does not exhibit any foxing. While there is scattered paint staining verso, there are no glue remnants, tape remnants, tears, holes, creases, or folds. Comment(s): Rothko, of Jewish descent, was born Markus Yakovlevich Rotkovich in Dvinsk, Vitebsk Governorate, in the Russian Empire (today Daugavpils in Latvia). Although Rothko himself refused to adhere to any particular art movement he is generally identified as an Abstract Expressionist, and with Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning is one of the most famous postwar American artists.

Smooth cream medium weight wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Very good condition; colors very good; a few minor handling marks, else fine. Comment(s): The legendary, iconic, and famous poster of two of the greatest artists of the latter part of the 20th Century, perhaps the most poignant and enduring image of the 1980's NYC art scene. We could locate only 11 sales of this poster in the past 28 years, with only five of these being signed. The auction record for a signed example is $6,600 at Christie's New York, May 1, 2007, lot #839. The image is by Michael Halsband. The show displayed the collaborative paintings that Warhol and Basquiat worked on from 1984-1985. These works were the culmination of their friendship, one which began in the late 70's. Eventually, the two began work on the paintings that would constitute the bulk of this exhibition. But the process was not without conflict. Warhol, whose work ethic was legendary, grew frustrated with Basquiat's erratic appearances and the two worked very little on the paintings at the same time. The show was a financial and critical failure and marked the end of their friendship. The full title of the poster is: "Tony Shafrazi * Bruno Bischofberger Present: Warhol * Basquiat Paintings, September 14 through October 19, 1985, 163 Mercer Street, New York.". [27961-3-3000]
