Desiderio da SettignanoSettignano 1429 – 1464 FlorenzNachfolge“Heilige Helena“Stuck/Gips60 x 41 cm, mit Rahmen 70 x 51 cmDieser Profilkopf im Basrelief - gekrönt mit Diadem und Heiligenschein - ist eine Verkörperung von Gelassenheit und Demut und stellt vermutlich die Heilige Helena (248/50-ca. 300) dar, die Mutter des römischen Kaisers Konstantin, die eine einflussreiche frühe Bekehrerin zum Christentum war. Die Darstellung ist jenem Sandsteinrelief um ca. 1460-64 aus dem Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio (Inv.-Nr. 1938.122) nachempfunden. Es handelt sich dabei um ein skulpturales Werk, das dem berühmten florentinischen Bildhauers Desiderio da Settignano (ca. 1428/30-1464) zugeschrieben ist. Andere Wiederholungen in Bronze oder weißem Marmor (Gunby Hall Estate, Lincolnshire, Inv.-Nr. NT 637922; Wightwick Manor, West Midlands, Inv.-Nr. NT 1289207) existieren ebenfalls. Später wurden auch zahlreiche Stiche angefertigt und die Darstellung auch in unterschiedlichen Kontexten als Jungfrau Maria oder Heilige Cäcilia identifiziert.

KAWS (New Jersey, 1974)."The Scotts, 2020.Print and vinyl.Limited edition Stock X.Measurements: 30,5 cm (diameter).Cover created by Kaws for the group "The Scotts", founded by Travis Scott and Kid Cudi. The album was released on various formats, including 7-inch vinyl, cassette and as a CD single in 2020. The eponymous single debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.Kaws reappropriates pop culture icons such as Mickey Mouse, the Michelin Man, the Smurfs, Snoopy, and SpongeBob SquarePants. His characters are generally depicted in a timid or helpless pose often with their hands over their eyes, or as we see here, in the repeated use of "x" in hands and eyes. The work of the American designer and artist popularly known as Kaws, includes the repeated use of a cast of figurative characters and motifs, some of which date back to the beginning of his career in the 1990s, initially painted in 2D and later realised in 3D. Some of his characters are his own creations, while others are modified versions of existing icons.Kaws' sculptures range in size from a few centimetres to ten metres tall, and are made of various materials including fibreglass, aluminium, wood, bronze and an inflatable steel pontoon raft. His work is exhibited in galleries and museums, held in permanent collections in public institutions, and avidly collected by individuals, including music producer Swizz Beatz and rapper Pharrell Williams. Several books illustrating his work have been published. He lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, creating sculptures, acrylic paintings on canvas and silkscreen prints, while also collaborating commercially, predominantly on limited edition toys, but also on clothing, skateboards and other products.

(illustrated)Sister Box is part of a series of hand-painted bronzes titled Three Sisters. The sculptures are experiments in 'trompe l'oeil', visual illusions, deceiving the eye; cardboard and wood sculptures are turned into bronze, which is painted to look like cardboard and wood. Picasso's Glass of Absinthe and polychrome sculptures of classical antiquity (which we see as white marble, but which were originally painted) are particular historical references for the series. As is Kentridge's hallmark, these series of painted bronze sculptures interweave symbols as disparate as Chinese maps and scraps torn from a 1906 South African cash book.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Koerner, William Kentridge: Smoke, Ashes, Fable (Brussels: Mercatorfonds, 2017) p.31Casspirs Full of Love as a group of works is a testament to William Kentridge's multi-disciplinary and multi-layered practice. The various incarnations of the subject, made between 1988 and 1989, include a drawing, an encaustic, a screenprinted banner and the present drypoint, itself printed in two phases, between 1989 and 2000. The satirical title of the work, inscribed prominently to the right in looping cursive handwriting, refers to a personal message overheard by Kentridge on a popular radio program, from a mother to her son in the white South African defence force: this message comes to you from your mom with Casspirs full of love. Casspirs were armoured riot-control vehicles deployed by the South African defence force under the National Party regime of apartheid (1948-94), for the forceful patrol of black townships during the state of emergency declared in 1985 and renewed until 1990, leading to arbitrary racial arrests and persecution. The tense juxtaposition of love and death, affection and violence, also expressed textually: what comfort now? at left, Not A Step at lower centre, highlight the contradictions inherent to the apartheid state. The work also resonates with scenes from William Kentridge's 1989 film Johannesburg, 2nd Greatest City after Paris (see Lot 1 on previous page), while the heads were inspired by drawings the artist made in 1988 in Florence, based on Giotto's early 14th century frescoes in Santa Croce, that he later cut up and rearranged, and were also influenced by a Tony Cragg bronze sculpture of carved beetroot heads he saw in Florence that same year. As William Kentridge said: The print became a combination of Giotto, Cragg and 1980s South African radio. It has come to be known as one of Kentridge's most overtly political projects, and its importance is reflected in the fact that impressions of the print appear in significant international collections such as those of the Metropolitan Museum and the MOMA in New York, the Johannesburg Art Gallery, and the Tate in London.Printmaking has always been primary to Kentridge's practice as an artist, and the highly charged, textural surface and intensity of contrasts in the inking and composition of Casspirs Full of Love demonstrate his masterful exploration of the etching and drypoint mediums. The impression presented here provides the final version of the image as printed by master printer Jack Shirreff at 107 Workshop, Wiltshire, England in 2000.

Gavin Turk 4 Eggs, 2022 Photograph on Paper Signed verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Gavin Turk (b 1967) is a British born, international artist. He has pioneered many forms of contemporary British sculpture now taken for granted, including the painted bronze, the waxwork, the recycled art-historical icon and the use of rubbish in art. Turk's installations and sculptures deal with issues of authorship, authenticity and identity. Concerned with the 'myth' of the artist and the 'authorship' of a work, Turk's engagement with this modernist, avant-garde debate stretches back to the ready-mades of Marcel Duchamp. In 1991, the Royal College of Art refused Turk a degree on the basis that his final show, 'Cave', consisted of a whitewashed studio space containing only a blue heritage plaque commemorating his presence 'Gavin Turk worked here 1989-91'. Instantly gaining notoriety through this installation, Turk was spotted by Charles Saatchi and was included in several YBA exhibitions. Turk's work has since been collected and exhibited by many major museums and galleries throughout the world. Prestel published Turk's first major monograph in 2013, showcasing more than two decades of his work and in 2014 Trolley Books published 'This Is Not A Book About Gavin Turk' which playfully explores themes associated with the artist's work via thirty notable contributors. Turk has recently been commissioned to make several public sculptures including L'Âge d'Or (2016), sited on the south corner of the Press Centre building in the Olympic Park and Nail, a 12-meter sculpture at One New Change, next to St Paul's cathedral, London, England.
