§ Breon O'Casey (British 1928-2011) Study for Éan Mór, circa 2006 III/V, initialled and numbered (to underside of base), patinated bronze, marble baseDimensions:20cm high, 20cm wide (7 7/8in high, 7 7/8in wide) excluding baseProvenance:When originally purchased from the artist, O'Casey sent a note explaining 'I enclose a token of thanks for all your trouble...It's a maquette of the big one...Breon'.Note: The large scale Éan Mór is situated at Phoenix Park, Dublin. "It’s odd, but although my paintings are almost always abstract, my sculptures arealmost always of some animal, bird or person. I don’t know why this is; but maybepainting is a language - a language writ on hardboard, paper or canvas. The languageof colour and form - as John Wells says: “whereas sculpture is objects”. And an object,unless it be a stone, must be of something." (Breon O'Casey)

§ Émile Gilioli (French 1911-1977) Le Glacier, 1961 signed and dated (to underside), polished marbleDimensions:27cm high, 29cm wide, 20cm deep (10 5/8in high, 11 3/8in wide, 7 7/8in deep)Provenance:Provenance:World House Galleries, New York, 1962;Joseph H. Hirshhorn, New York, 1962-1966;Gift to the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington;Christie's, Modern Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture, 23 February 1994, lot 90 where sold by the Order of the Trustees of the Hirshhorn Museum.Note: Émile Gilioli was one of the pre-eminent sculptors of the new abstract movement in France in the 1950s. He believed that the foremost challenge in sculpture was the synthesis of architecture and art, and that the choice of material, whether it be marble, onyx, bronze, lapis-lazuli, agate, alabaster or cement, was of utmost importance in shaping the form of the object. Having studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in the 1930s, the influences of the pre-war Paris school of artists such as Brancusi and Henri Laurens clearly shine through in his work. After World War Two he associated and exhibited with leading avant-garde artists of the period including Giacometti, Picasso and Soulages. This included being Vice-President of the leading abstract collective, Espace, initiated by André Bloch, Le Corbusier and Fernand Léger. Gilioli went on to exhibit internationally and his work is held at major institutions such as Tate, London, the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Museu de Arte Moderna, São Paulo. Gilioli was honoured with a retrospective after his death at the Musée National d’Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris in 1979.

§ Denis Mitchell (British 1912-1993) Untitled, 1969 unique, initialled and dated (to underside of base), brassDimensions:26cm x 2.5cm (10 1/4in x 1in) excluding baseProvenance:Provenance: Commissioned by the artist George Dannatt and thence by family descent;Askew Art, London, where acquired by the present owner.Note: Exhibited: Maltby Contemporary Art, Winchester; Rosenberg & Co., New York.Literature: George Dannatt and Friends, exhibition catalogue, Osborne Samuel, London, 2015, p.50, illustrated p.62; Modern British Masters, Rosenberg & Co., New York,2017.Note: This unique sculpture, dating from 1969, was a commission from Denis Mitchell’s friend, the art connoisseur turned painter George Dannatt. Initially Mitchell’s sculptural work was characterised by direct carving of wood and stone, skills developed in his war service work in the Geevor tin mine, before he spent ten years as assistant to Barbara Hepworth. Mitchell explained; ‘we carved side by side . . . I was her hands.’ By the late 1960s he had developed an assured approach in the casting of both brass and bronze to create polished and dynamic sculpture. His love of pure form shines through in this deceptively simple work; the jagged edges, pierced holes and shining warm surface divide, reflect and reveal the light and space around and behind the slim form, conjuring a potent presence much greater than its stature.

Four bidri silver and copper-inlaid Charpai legs, Bidar, Deccan, Central India, 18th century, comprising four legs of Indian charpai (a traditional handwoven bed), shaped as flower blossoms on squared base, rising from the central bud a squared structure, pierced on two sides to accommodate the sticks of the bed, the latter two sides full, the top worked as a blossoming floral bud with lush petals all around, the body clad in copper and silver inlay laid out in a diamond-shaped grid of stylised flower heads, drop-like pattern to the base, 25cm high (4)These charpai legs share a number of similarities with a set of what Zebrowski calls "the slaves of the carpet" (i.e. carpet weights), also known as mir-i farsh (Mark Zebrowski, Gold, Silver and Bronze from Mughal India, London, 1997, p. 131). Indeed, in the Krishna Riboud Collection, there is a set of carpet weights from Bidar, dating to the early 18th century, with exactly the same inlaid diamond-grid floral pattern as ours (ibidem, fig. 160). Moreover, the lower body of our charpai legs, designed as a blossoming flower surrounded by a multitude of petals and standing on a squared base, is virtually the same of the Riboud Collection mir-i farsh, showing the fluidity of motifs and designs on items with different uses.Please refer to department for condition report

Orbeli, Iosif Abgarovich and Trever, Kamilla Vasilevna, Orfevrerie Sasanide: Objets en or, argent et bronze (Sasanidskij Metall: Chudozestvennye Predmety iz Zolota, Serebra i Bronzy), Moscow, Russia & St. Petersburg, Russia: Academia, 1935, 85 leaves of plates, text in Russian and French, published in conjunction with the III Congres International d’Art et d’Archeologie Iraniens, Memoires, Leningrad, in September 1935, original cloth as issuedIosef Abaraovitch Orbeli (1887-1961) was a Russian orientalist and academician who specialized in Iranian studies, Armenian and Kurdish philology, and archaeology. In 1920, he joined the Oriental Department of the State Hermitage Museum in Leningrad as a curator, and in 1926 he became the head of this department. He played an invaluable role in the development of this department, which is still one of the richest departments of the State Hermitage Museum. In 1931, he participated in the second International Congress on Iranian Art and Archaeology in London and organized a rich exposition of art pieces from the State Hermitage and other Soviet museums. The great impression that this exhibition produced influenced the decision to organize the Third International Congress on Iranian Art and Archaeology in the USSR. In the same year, a permanent exhibition of the Oriental Department was opened in the Hermitage Museum as a result of his extensive scholarly work. In 1934, he was appointed the director of the State Hermitage Museum. He also took an active part in organizing the Third International Congress in Moscow and Leningrad in 1935. The art of Sasanian Iran, which had inspired craftsmen and artists of the Caucasus and Central Asia for many centuries, even after the fall of the Sasanian dynasty, was one of the major subjects of Orbeli’s research work. He continued the scholarly traditions established by J. I. Smirnov. The latter published his album Oriental Silver in 1909, which reproduced most of the pieces of Sasanian metalwork known by that time. Smirnov, however, failed to publish his comments to the album, which still remain in manuscript form. The results of his investigations were most probably well known to Orbeli, who was interested, not just in the different aspects of Sasanian art, but mainly in its influence on the art and culture of neighbouring peoples. In his introduction to “Orfevrerie Sasanide” (published in 1935), he surveys the finds of Sasanian metal in Russia and suggests the possible ways they reached there. Many of his suggestions on the trade routes that functioned in antiquity were confirmed by later investigations. Ethnographic parallels allowed Orbeli to identify the function of some of the popular forms of vessels, such as “lobed bowls,” which were used for fruits and sweets. Orbeli did not write much about the technical aspects of Sasanian metal, since he was interested more in iconography and its development within the context of changing Iranian society. In 1955, Orbeli took the position of the head of the Oriental Faculty at Leningrad State University, and the following year he was appointed the head of Leningrad branch of the Institute for Oriental Studies, the USSR Academy of Sciences. Under him the Institute quickly grew into the largest center of Oriental studies in the USSR. Kamilla Vasilevna Trever (1892-1974), was a Russian historian, numismatist and orientalist, specialized in the history and culture of Transcaucasia, Central Asia and Iran. Her major scientific contributions began after she was elected as a research fellow at the Imperial Archaeological Commission in 1918, and began her work at the State Hermitage Museum. Her work at the Hermitage began in the Greek-Scythian department and brought her into the orbit of Orbeli, with whom she would have a lifelong collaboration, working on Sasanian toreutics and numismatics, and pre-Islamic Iranian material culture and history more broadly. She was the force behind the 3rd International Conference in Iranian Art and Archaeology in 1935, which is remembered as a watershed moment for Soviet studies on Iran and the Near East.Please refer to department for condition report
