1/10, bronze127cm x 66cm x 46cm (50in x 26in x 18in)Provenance: Purchased directly from the artistExhibited: Gerald Laing: Sculpture at Chisenbury Priory, Chisenbury Priory, 2002Literature: Gerald Laing: Sculpture at Chisenbury Priory exhibition catalogue, 2002, p.3 (titled Woman with Wet Hair)Footnote: Note: Artist's catalogue raisonne no. 476. This work is the one illustrated in the catalogue raisonne. It was conceived in Laing's New York studio in 1987.The 20th century produced a number of significant British sculptors. A common course charted across many of these careers was the departure from or outright rejection of the traditional. In many cases the figure, if it remained discernible at all, was typically heavily abstracted. Broadly speaking, the classical tradition became an increasingly inactive reference point, unless that point was to consciously subvert it. What makes Gerald Laing so fascinating is the fact that he chose to gravitate back towards sculpture’s formal roots, completely against the grain of his peers and indeed the general trajectory of Modern art.Originally heavily involved at ground zero of the UK and America’s Pop Art scene, Laing made an extraordinary pivot away from the radically minimalist and abstracted forms of his early career and, from the 1970s onwards, saw out his remaining decades as a master figurative sculptor in the classical manner.It is recorded that he underwent this transformation at the end of the 1960s. Apparently disillusioned with the art scene, he returned to Britain from the States in 1969 and headed northwards, acquiring the ruins of the medieval Kinkell Castle in the Black Isle, Scotland. Over the course of three years he meticulously restored the castle using local craftsmen and traditional techniques. By the end of the 1970s he had a large-scale foundry in full operation on the estate. As well as the life-changing undertaking that was the restoration of Kinkell, Laing spoke of his “epiphany” in 1973 while looking at Charles Sargeant Jagger's great First World War Artillery Memorial at Hyde Park Corner: “As a result of this experience I changed my entire method of working”. He had found his new visual language.This move away from the hegemony and narrow definitions of ‘the avant-garde’, a radical action in itself, had been a huge risk. Gradually, however, his career went from strength to strength and the commissions - public and private - rolled in, with no project seemingly too ambitious in scale or design.In 1987, the work offered here was conceived and sculpted in clay from life in New York, and later that same year it was cast in bronze at Kinkell. An edition of only 10, the piece is conceived as a garden statue and water fountain. The model was a professional dancer, and her elegant figure, redolent in style of the French 19th century greats like Maillol and Rodin, throws her head gently backwards while a stream of water pours through her hair. Though visually it seems to possess the domestic intimacy of a Degas bather, she is standing not in a basin but a clam shell like a Renaissance goddess. Laing’s work is full of these pleasing art historical reference points, evidencing a scholarly understanding and appreciation of the evolution of figurative sculpture.
A very rare and important Dutch delft basin, Adrianus Kocks, De Grieksche A, 1686-1701Modelled after a metal shape, moulded on the sides, two indented larger sections, decorated with dense floral patterns including a border of cabbage roses and sprays of mixed flowers, the borders with Chinese porcelain inspired elements, the well with a band of coin-pattern alternated with lozenges with four dots, 46cm x 36.2cm, AK mark for Adrianus Kocks, owner of De Grieksche A, 1686-1701Footnotes:Provenance:European private collection;Thence by descent to the present ownerDe Grieksche A factoryAdrianus Kocks and his wife Judith Kocks-van Eenhoorn took over the Grieksche A factory from Lambertus van Eenhoorn in 1686. It is known that Kocks, together with Lambertus Cleffius, owner of De Metaale Pot, tried to expand into the French market. But the height of Adrianus Kocks's commercial entrepreneurship was undoubtedly the reputation he built up as the main supplier of Delftware to the court of King William III and his wife Queen Mary. After having left the Netherlands for England, William and Mary ordered Delftware in large quantities from Adrianus Kocks. In January 1701, Adrianus Kocks passed on the workshop to his son, Pieter. He died only five months later and his coffin was carried by 18 bearers, an indication of the high esteem in which he was held in in Delft. For more information on the factory history of De Grieksche A, see Delfts Aardewerk: Geschiedenis van een Nationaal Product (1999), pp.64-153.William and Mary as patrons of De Grieksche A factoryMuch of the evidence about the orders placed by William and Mary is circumstantial, partly because the factory records have mostly not survived. Archaeological research conducted in the gardens around the Dutch Royal Palace of 'Het Loo' in Apeldoorn has revealed some exceptional objects marked SVE for Samuel van Eenhoorn, the owner of De Grieksche A before Adrianus Kocks such as garden ornaments and tulip vases. The Royal couple was passionate about Delftware and Mary certainly played an important role placing orders and defining its use in the Royal interiors. In one of his poems, Jan d'Outrein (1662 – 1722), suggested that it is highly possible that some of the most remarkable pieces were made after the Queen's specifications. She also probably contributed to the spread of the taste for expensive luxurious Delftware amongst the English aristocracy. It is now widely accepted that Queen Mary contacted Samuel van Eenhoorn shortly after she moved to the Netherlands. After Samuel's death, De Grieksche A factory stayed under the patronage of the House of Orange for many years. In her recent publication Koninklijk Blauw (2020), Suzanne Lambooy notes the influence of Daniel Marot, who joined the Household in 1684 and was charged with most of the designs for the gardens and interiors of the various Royal Palaces. Marot was instrumental in introducing a new Baroque style which was met with enthusiasm in the courts of Europe. Wall-covering textiles and mirrors were combined with carved giltwood consoles and monumental Delftware, and by cleverly integrating various previously more isolated interior elements, Dutch Delftware was promoted to play an integral role in the conception of a Royal interior. More and more elaborate and ambitious shapes were designed for the Royal Court, such as the famous tulip vases and large garden vases, produced, amongst others, by De Grieksche A. It is likely that this exceptional basin can be seen in the context of these expensive and technically highly accomplished pieces made for the Court of William and Mary or one of their entourage.For further reading on Royal patronage of De Grieksche A see also: A.M.L.E.

Hendrik Frans van Lint, 1684 Antwerpen – 1763 Rom ANSICHT VON VENEDIG MIT DEM MARKUSBECKEN UND DEM BUCINTORO Öl auf Leinwand. Doubliert. 26,5 x 41,5 cm. Rechts unten signiert „H Fran van Lint F 7“. In dekorativem, vergoldetem Rahmen.Beigegeben eine Expertise von Ralph Toledano vom 1. Oktober 2020. Venedig, Blick über das Markusbecken auf die Piazetta mit den Säulen des Hl. Theodor und dem Markuslöwen, seitlich davon links die Bibliotheca Nazionale Marciana und rechts der Dogenpalast. Im Hintergrund der Markusdom, der hohe Campanile und der Uhrturm. Sehr ungewöhnlich ist diese Frontalansicht des Markusbeckens, das von den meisten Venezianern in Anlehnung an die theatralische Kultur der Lagunenstadt aus der Ferne oder aus der Nähe dargestellt wird. Diese Frontalität, so Toledano, kennzeichnet van Lints Bestreben, die Realität von Orten wiederzugeben ohne sie inszenieren zu müssen. Auf dem Wasser sind mehrere besetzte Gondeln zu sehen sowie am Ufer rechts ankernd der teils abgedeckte, prachtvolle Bucintoro, das offizielle Staatsschiff des Dogen. Von der ehemaligen Datierung auf dem Gemälde ist nur noch die „7“ zu erkennen. Es ist anzunehmen, dass dieses Gemälde während einer der Reisen entstanden ist, die van Lint zusammen mit Gaspar van Wittel, genannt „Il Vanvitelli“ (1653-1736) in die Lagune unternahm. Die Art und Weise, wie das Wasser gemalt wird, ist grundlegend Il Vanvitelli zu verdanken: Es bewegt sich und wirbelt mit der für den Künstler typischen Flüssigkeit. Die genaue Beschreibung der Sehenswürdigkeiten, die Aufmerksamkeit des Miniaturisten für die kleinsten Details entsprechen den akribischen Bemühungen van Lints. Diese topografische Treue verbindet sich mit der Atmosphäre, mit der die Helligkeit des Himmels und das warme Licht dargestellt werden. Zusammen bringen sie van Lints besondere Genialität auf einen Nenner.Anmerkung.Hendrik Frans van Lint wird in Antwerpen als Sohn des Historienmalers Pieter van Lint (1629-1719) und dessen zweiter Frau Anna Moeren geboren. Da sein Vater starb als er erst 6 Jahre alt war, wurde van Lint 1696 Lehrling bei Peeter van Bredael, einem Maler von italianisierenden Landschaften. Van Lint blieb nicht, um seine Lehre zu beenden, sondern ging zwischen 1697 und 1700 nach Rom. 1697 trat van Lint den Bentvueghels bei, einer Vereinigung von hauptsächlich niederländischen und flämischen Künstlern, die in Rom arbeiteten. Bei den Bentvueghels war es üblich, sich einen ansprechenden Spitznamen zuzulegen. Van Lints Name war „Lo Studio“. Dieser Spitzname mag ihm wegen seiner akribischen Technik gegeben worden sein. Van Lint scheint sich zudem im Kreis des holländischen Vedutenmalers Gaspar van Wittel bewegt zu haben, der in Rom als „Il Vanvitelli“ bekannt war. Van Wittel hatte sich 1675 in Rom niedergelassen, wo er mit seinen topografischen Ansichten zu einem der meistgefragten Künstler seiner Generation geworden war. Van Lint blieb für den Rest seines Lebens überwiegend in Rom.Literatur: Vgl. Andrea Busiri Vici, Peter, Hendrik e Giacomo van Lint, Rom 1987. (1260732) (2) (18)Hendrik Frans van Lint,1684 Antwerp – 1763 RomeVIEW OF VENICE WITH SAINT MARK’S BASIN AND BUCiNToro Oil on canvas. Relined.26.5 x 41.5 cm.Signed “H Fran van Lint F 7” lower right.In decorative, gilt frame. Accompanied by an expert’s report by Ralph Toledano, dated 1 October 2020. Depiction of Venice with the Saint Mark’s Basin towards the Piazetta di San Marco with the two columns of Saint Theodore and the Lion of Saint Mark, the Bibliotheka Nazionale Marciano to the left and the Doge’s Palace to the right. The painting was formerly dated but only the number “7” is still visible. It can be assumed that the painting was created during van Lint’s travels to Venice that he undertook with his colleague Vanvitelli . Literature: cf.
