Lot 663

1933 Velocette 348cc KTT Mk IVRegistration no. YS 3586Frame no. KTL4299Engine no. KTT493• Believed to be a 1933 TT machine• Ridden by Charlie Redfearn• Aluminium bronze cylinder head with hairpin springs• Present ownership since 1962• Ideal restoration projectVarious incarnations of Velocette's KTT followed the model's introduction in 1928, and were later ascribed ascending 'Mark' numbers, as they were changed and developed. Velocette factory records, kindly confirmed by the Velocette Owners Club, show that KTL4299 left the Velocette factory on 31st May 1933, and was sent to Cramers Garage in the Isle of Man for a Mr. C. Redfearn. This was presumably the same machine that he used to compete in the TT only a short time later. Charles Redfearn started both the Junior and Senior races on the Velocette but failed to finish either race. However, a contemporary account in Motor Cycling, 21st June 1933 (copy on file), gives an account of the Senior race and lists Redfearn as lying in 17th place after the first four laps; quite an achievement on a 350 in a 500 race against Works opposition!The original engine fitted to this machine was KTT486, but it now has KTT493 installed, which has an aluminium bronze cylinder head with hairpin valve springs. Also apparent are the lower strengthening frame rails introduced as standard for the Mark IV. Four factory bikes were despatched for the 1933 event, along with several for customers to use at the TT, all appear to be within the period 27th May to 1st June 1933. 'YS 3586' is highly likely to be one of those machines depicted in a well-known photograph, waiting to be loaded onto a train at Velocette's own platform, for shipment to the 1933 TT. Less than 150 Mark IV KTTs were made before the change to the Mark V, and this is a great opportunity to acquire one in need of attention, and therefore less expensive than a restored example.When KTL4299 was just over two years old, it was registered for the road on 31st August 1935, as evidenced by the duplicate RF60 buff logbook issued 8th September 1960. Its last change of keeper was to the deceased owner on 27th June 1962. It should be noted that the old buff log book incorrectly records the frame number as KTT4299, instead of KTL4299, and this typographical error has been carried over to the V5C. It has been stored in less-than-optimal conditions for many years, and now requires extensive re-commissioning or restoration, and is therefore sold strictly as viewed. We have no knowledge of the mechanical condition of the machine except that the engine does not turn. At some time, the petrol tank has been repainted and kept in better conditions than the rest of the bike. Documentation with this machine comprises the aforementioned duplicate RF60 log book, an old-style V5C, a 1961 letter from Bertie Goodman at Velocette, to the deceased owner, and sundry papers.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 671

c.1950 Villiers-engined Project Registration no. not registered (see text)Frame no. 41192509Engine no. S.1.R 367A 8822In the pioneer and veteran eras of motorcycling, it was a common enough practice for manufacturers to buy-in proprietary engines such as De Dion, Minerva, and J.A.P. to incorporate in their machines. The evolution of proprietary engines saw some come and go as they waxed and waned in popularity or moved into larger versions for car production. The practice continued throughout the history of vehicle production, even to this day, with current car makers sharing engines, and even 'platforms' for cars. One such company playing a larger part than most in the history of motorcycle manufacturing was Villiers, who began by making cycle parts in their factory in Villiers Street, Wolverhampton, hence the name. Developing a two-stroke engine in 1913, Villiers became the engine of choice for a large number of British (and overseas) makers to incorporate in lightweight models in their ranges. Capacities ranged from 98cc to 360cc, in single and twin-cylinder configurations, with the most commonly used capacities being 98, 122, 150, 197, and 250. Taking over J.A.P. in 1957, Villiers eventually was subsumed by Manganese Bronze Holdings, then became part of Norton Villiers, later transformed to Norton Villiers Triumph before the group was liquidated in 1978. The machine is part of a deceased estate and has been stored in adverse conditions. It is thought possibly to be an Ambassador, with what may be a 197cc 6E engine. There is no documentation for the machine, which has been standing for a considerable time, will require restoration, and is sold strictly as viewed. We have no knowledge of its mechanical condition, except that the engine does not turn over. The Vehicle Registration Number 'BCP 946' displayed on the machine has lapsed from the HPI/DVLA databases hence the machine is offered unregistered.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 712

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection c.1933 Rudge 499cc TT Replica Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 48011Engine no. 35•One of the most desirable sports roadsters of the 1930s•An older restoration•Bronze cylinder headThe full potential of Rudge's four-valves-per-cylinder engine design was slow to emerge, but in 1928 Graham Walker's works 500 became the first motorcycle to win a road race - the Ulster Grand Prix - at an average speed in excess of 80mph, a feat that led to the introduction of the legendary 'Ulster' sports model. Early engines deployed parallel valves in a pent-roof combustion chamber, then in 1930 a trio of 350s appeared at the Isle of Man with radially-disposed valves, the new arrangement demonstrating its superiority when the Rudges finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Junior TT. The next move was to produce a 'head for the 500 featuring parallel inlet valves and radial exhausts, and this semi-radial arrangement debuted on the works bikes for 1931. Chief advantage of the semi-radial valve gear was its reduced complication, but although the works 500s proved every bit as fast as before, they were beset by handling problems. Altered weight distribution caused by re-positioning the magneto behind the cylinder was diagnosed as the culprit, and the mag was promptly moved back to its original position. The TT Replica went from parallel valves in 1931 to radial in 1932 and then, finally, to the semi-radial arrangement for 1933, the last year of this model's production. Semi-radial valves were adopted for the 500cc Ulster for '33, and Rudge's top-of-the-range model would keep this arrangement until production ceased in 1939. This Rudge TT Replica's frame was built in May 1932 while the engine consists of a 1933 TTR bottom end and a 1934/1935 bronze cylinder head. The gearbox is made up from parts dating from 1930-1937 (linkage not connected) and the rear mudguard has the wrong profile. There are no documents with this Lot. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

JAN FABRE(Antwerpen 1958 – lebt und arbeitet in Antwerpen)Adsum qui feci (Hier ben ik, ik ben de schuldige) (I, here before you, am the guilty party). 2016.Käferflügel auf Holz.164 × 220 cm.Die Authentizität dieses Werkes wurde von Angelos bvba / Jan Fabre, Mai 2021, Antwerpen. Wir danken den Angelos studio Manager für Ihre freundliche Unterstützung.Provenienz:- Atelier des Künstlers. - Privatsammlung Belgien.Der 1958 in Antwerpen geborene Jan Fabre zählt zu den innovativsten und vielfältigsten Künstlerpersönlichkeiten der internationalen Zeitgenössischen Kunstszene. Bekannt für seine Kugelschreiber-Zeichnungen und aufwändigen Skulpturen, macht er sich über die letzten 40 Jahre nicht nur als Bildender Künstler, sondern auch als Choreograf, Regisseur, Autor oder Bühnenbildner einen Namen. Er verwendet und experimentiert mit den unterschiedlichsten Medien. Aufsehen erregt der Belgier in den 1970ern erstmals durch seine Aktionskunst, in der er beispielsweise Geldscheine verbrennt und sie in Form von Aschezeichnungen zu neuem Leben erweckt. Wenige Jahre später setzt sich Fabre intensiv mit der Bildhauerei auseinander. Hierfür lässt er sich von flämischen Altmeistern, aber auch von Ensor oder Magritte inspirieren. Der Körper und seine Anatomie stellen für ihn seither eine konstante Thematik dar. Für manche plastischen Arbeiten greift er auf rein traditionelle Materialen wie Marmor und Bronze zurück, andere Werke lässt er aus Silikon entstehen oder versieht sie mit schillernden Käferpanzern. Neben diesen skulpturalen Arbeiten entstehen auch zahlreiche Zeichnungen mit Kugelschreiber, wofür nicht nur Papier, sondern auch Objekte und Architekturen als Untergrund dienen. Die Fähigkeit Fabres, erfolgreich in verschiedenen Genres parallel zu wirken und diese miteinander in Verbindung zu setzen, lässt sein kreatives Schaffen beinahe zu einem Gesamtkunstwerk kulminieren. Zentrale Themen im Werk Fabres sind der menschliche Körper, dessen Entwicklung und Vergänglichkeit, das Studium und die Neuinterpretation der Antiken Kunst, die Ästhetik und die Schrecken der mittelalterlichen Geschichte, sowie die Mythologie der menschlichen Wahrnehmung. Die vorliegenden Arbeiten verdeutlichen Fabres Vielfältigkeit wie auch seine Auseinandersetzung mit diversen Wissenschaften und die immer wiederkehrende Verknüpfung von faktenbasierter Theorie und Praxis. All das lässt nicht wundern, denn der Künstler ist studierter Botaniker.Für "Adsum qui feci" (2016) setzt Fabre – wie in allen seinen bedeutenden Werken – eine Technik mit enormer Wirkung ein: das Werk, das durch eine akribische Auswahl und Installation von Tausenden von Käfern entstanden ist. Es erzählt von den grundlegenden Punkten seiner künstlerischen Praxis: dem menschlichen Leben und der sowohl natürlichen als auch künstlichen Metamorphose. Die die Leinwand bedeckenden Skarabäen und die von ihnen dargestellte Uhr symbolisieren in der italienischen und flämischen Bildsprache als Vanitas den Übergang zwischen der irdischen Dimension zum ewigen Leben. Die Hunde wiederum versinnbildlichen Loyalität, Hingabe und sogar Unterwerfung. Das Motiv von Treue und Loyalität sowie Eitelkeit und Vergänglichkeit zieht sich durch sein visuelles und theatralisches Werk, durch welches der Künstler seine Sicht auf die Vergänglichkeit des irdischen Lebens auf einsichtige Weise beschreibt.Die akkurat angeordneten irisierenden Käferpanzer absorbieren Licht und geben dieses je nach Lichteinfall und Perspektive des Betrachters in einer schillernden Palette von Grün, Blau, und Orange wieder: ein organisches Mosaik entsteht. Über die Verwendung von Käfern in seiner künstlerischen Praxis erklärt Fabre: "Ich verwende widerstandsfähige Materialien, die einen zerbrechlichen Aspekt haben. Die Farbe dieser Käferpanzer wird nie verblassen, weil die äußere Membran Chitin enthält, eines der stärksten und leichtesten natürlichen Materialien der Erde."

STEPHAN BALKENHOL(Fritzlar 1957 - lebt und arbeitet in Karlsruhe)Laocoön. 2016.Bronze, patiniert und bemalt.Auf der Unterseite mit der eingeritzten Signatur, Datierung und Nummerierung: St. Balkenhol 2016-20/24-.35 × 56 × 35,2 cm.Provenienz:- Atelier des Künstlers. - Privatsammlung Belgien.Literatur: Galerie Löhrl, Mönchengladbach: Stephan Balkenhol. Werkverzeichnis der Bronze-Editionen 1992-2019. Mönchengladbach 2019, Nr. 43 (Farbabb.).Der deutsche Kunstprofessor Stephan Balkenhol gehört zu den bedeutendsten und beliebtesten Bildhauern der Gegenwartskunst. Seine oft grob gearbeiteten und prägnanten Männer und Frauen, mal eine Giraffe oder ein Löwe, die der Künstler mit dem Beil aus mächtigen Holzstämmen haut oder aus Bronze fertigt und farbig fasst, sind frei von Pathos, Schmerz, Leid, Freude und Begehren. Die scheinbar unscheinbaren und unverwechselbaren Skulpturen und Reliefs erzählen nichts, geben nichts von sich preis, bleiben seltsam abwesend, schwer greifbar, verrätselt und fiktiv. Sie sind gewöhnlich und doch einzigartig, prägen den öffentlichen Raum und können in wichtigen Ausstellungen in Museen bewundert werden. Balkenhol sieht das Besondere im Alltäglichen und repräsentiert mit seinem Werk mehr Normalität als jeder andere zeitgenössische Künstler. Bei der vorliegenden Bronze-Arbeit "Laokoon" stellt der Künstler seine ikonische Lieblingsfigur dar, den Mann mit weissem Hemd und schwarzer Hose. Obwohl er den Priester und seine beiden Söhne im Todeskampf gegen zwei Schlangen darstellt, bei dem die drei Männer ihr Leben verlieren, zeigt Balkenhol die drei Figuren ohne eindeutige Emotionen, mit scheinbarem Blick ins Leere und zwängt ihnen keine Eigenheiten auf. Stephan Balkenhol hat den Mut, die Figuration als Sujet zeitgenössischer Bildhauerei neu zu erfinden.

WIM DELVOYE(Wervik/Belgien 1965–lebt und arbeitet in Brighton)Jesus Twisted. 2006.Bronze, schwarz patiniert.Am Fuss des Kreuzes mit der eingeritzten Signatur, Datierung und Nummer: WDelvoye 2006 3/3.396 × 102 × 42 cm.Die Authentizität des Werkes wurde vom Studio Wim Delvoye, Mai 2020, Brighton, bestätigt. Wir danken dem Studio für seine freundliche Unterstützung. Provenienz: - Atelier des Künstlers. - Deweer Art Gallery, Niederlande.- Privatsammlung Belgien.Der Konzeptkünstler Wim Delvoye wird 1965 in Belgien geboren. Sein Fokus liegt auf der Darstellung ästhetischer Gegensätze, deren Widersprüche häufig provokant wirken. Charakterisiert durch Humor und subversive Ironie, stellt er das gängige Wertesystem der Konsumgesellschaft in Frage. Seine Werke sind umstritten, das ist sein Kernanliegen. Die Irritation der Betrachter gehört zu seinem künstlerischen Repertoire. Mit viel hintergründigem Witz vermengt er Profanes und Sublimes in seinen Arbeiten. Banales wird durch das Ornament zur Kunst und die Volkskunst wird museal. Er lässt Tradition auf Utopie treffen, sowie Handwerk auf Hightech. Sein Hang zu monumentaler Kunst, Neugier, und seine unmittelbare Begeisterung für Fremdes zeichnen das Werk von Wim Delvoye aus. Seine Werke unterliegen einem Gedankenweg, der von zwei Codes geleitet wird. Zunächst das Resultieren aus der Erkennbarkeit der Funktion eines Alltagsgegenstandes. Zum zweiten, die zweckentfremdete Darstellung dieser Gegenstände durch die Adaptation des Künstlers. Dabei bringt Delvoye unterschiedliche Stilvariationen der Kunstgeschichte zusammen, vorrangig aus der lokalen Tradition der Gotik und des Rokoko, in zeitgenössischer Ausführung. So funktioniert auch seine Serie der tordierten Skulpturen aus Bronze oder Silber, in denen er den Körper Christis sich um ein elliptisch geformtes Kreuz drehen lässt. Die tragenden Kreuzskulpturen sind in unterschiedliche Formen gegossen: Kreise, unendliche Möbius Schleifen oder, wie unserem vorliegenden Werk, in Form einer DNA-Doppelhelix. Die Kruzifixe bearbeitet Wim Delvoye in Anlehnung zur Genetik, Geometrie und der Topologie, bis diese fliessende Formen erreichen. Die ewige Strömung in seinen Skulpturen verkörpert dasselbe Prinzip des Zyklus des gefolterten und wiederauferstehenden Christus. Die Kleidung und seine Dornenkrone nehmen die traditionelle Ikonografie der Kreuzigung auf.
