Lot 22
Miguel Oslé Sáenz de Medrano (Spanish, 1879-1960)A monumental patinated bronze figure of 'The Prisoner'the shackled semi-nude male figure clad in a loin cloth, his left arm behind his head, on square plinth base, the base signed and dated 'MYL OSLE MCMXXXV', 200cm high overall.Footnotes:ProvenanceSotheby's London, 16 November 2006, lot 161By repute formerly part of Miguel Osle's monument commemorating the loss of sixty three members of Barcelona Football Club during the Spanish Civil War between the July 1936 and the April 1939. Although a monument that was possibly planned prior to the war (as the work is dated 1935), it was erected outside the front of the old stadium, 'Les Corts' (opened in 1922 and closed in 1957) but was removed when the building was demolished to make way for its replacement 'Camp Nou'. The monument incorporated two larger than life male nudes, a helmeted soldier and the present figure, a chained prisoner. Many of the players and supporters that the monument came to commemorate fell during the bloody conflict between the Republicans or Loyalists (as Catalonia was a strongly Republican area) and Franco's Nationalists.Affectionately known as Barca and a Catalan institution, FC Barcelona was founded in 1899 and the club motto 'Mes que un club (More than a club)' reflects the pride of Barcelona's citizens. The sculptor Miguel Oslé Sáenz de Medrano was himself a club member which is presumably why he felt so strongly to work on the monument, although he may have utilised a work that had been previously planned in the preceding years before the conflict. Miguel collaborated on a number of monuments with his brother Llucià in Barcelona and another Civil War memorial by Llucià is situated in the Parc de Montjuïc.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: AR TPAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.TP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Lot 36
A Roman marble male torso Circa 1st-2nd Century A.D.Of youthful athletic form, depicted nude, standing with his weight on his right leg, his proper left shoulder slightly raised, with defined pectorals, abdominals, and iliac crests, the rounded buttocks below prominent dorsal muscles emphasized by a sunken depression along the spine, the remnants of an iron tang at the neck, 80cm highFootnotes:ProvenancePrivate collection, Europe, circa 19th Century (based on repair technique)Hruby collection, Vienna, until 1980sPrivate collection, Vienna, 1980s-2020Statues such as the above are of a type known as Polykleitan youths. Best known for his bronze sculptures of young athletic males, such as the Diadumenus and the Doryphoros, Polykleitos was one of the most recognized artists of his time. He was actively creating between 450-415 B.C. and his works survive to this day through marble copies dating to the Imperial Roman period. Statues of victorious athletes were originally commissioned to adorn public spaces in Classical Greece, in celebration of their sporting triumphs, and to uphold them as the epitome of youthful strength and vigour. These sculptures are categorized through their dynamic postures, weight resting on one leg, the opposite shoulder raised creating an 'S'-curve in the torso, finely carved musculature and the juxtaposition of tense and relaxed muscle. For similarly modelled torsos see C. Vermeule, Greek and Roman Sculpture in America, California, 1981, no. 25-26.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 44
Marius Jean Antonin Mercié (French, 1845-1916)An extremely rare 'undraped version' bronze figure of 'David Apres Le Combat (David after the battle)', the nude turbanned youth with raised right arm as he sheaths his sword, the base signed A. Mercié and inscribed PARIS F. BARBEDIENNE FOUNDER and with A COLLAS BREVETE REDUCTION MECHANIQUE pastille, the head of Goliath with ciseleur's initials CH. C. for Charles Cauchois behind his left ear, light to mid brown patination, 71.5cm high (28 1/8in high).Footnotes:Influenced by the sculptors of the Florentine Renaissance, Mercié executed his composition of David with the head of Goliath in plaster at the Villa Medici in Rome in 1869-1870. With its powerful but graceful curved and undulating planes, the figure united traditional classicism and modern realism winning it a prestigious 'médaille de 1ère classe' at the Paris Salon of 1872. A life-size bronze version of the 'undraped' figure of David cast by the Thiebaut frères foundry dating to the same year is now in the permanent collection of the Musée d'Orsay. Larger plaster versions are also in the collections of museums at Cusset, Dijon and Toulousein France and at the Villa Médicis itself and a marble version was exhibited at the Paris Éxposition Universelle of 1889.The figure of David by Mercié is usually seen in its clothed version with the youth clad in a draped loin cloth. The subsequent lot to the current one in this sale illustrates this more commonly found version. The more demure presentation was presumably seen in the closing years of the 19th century as being fair more acceptable to the general taste of the public at large and versions of this widely reproduced variant were edited in six scaled sizes made possible by the Archille Collas 'Réduction Méchanique' process. However, the offered lot is a very rare Barbedienne edition cast of the original 'undraped' nude version. Although infrequently found, these casts usually measure, as in the the current lot, 72cm high although a cast measuring 92cm has also been recorded. Their rarity almost certainly derives from them being 'special orders' as the subject was probably not considered suitable for a domestic setting. In addition it is possible that these special casts were used on the foundry's exhibition stands to illustrate to potential clients that the model could also be ordered large scale in its originally conceived form for more public spaces.The casting and finishing of all Barbedienne casts was a very specialised process with the chasing and finishing sometimes taking months to complete. This would certainly have been the case with the current lot where the presence of Cauchois's initials under the left ear of Goliath's head, confirming the importance of the cast as he was the star ciseleur at the foundry.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Enzo Plazzotta (Italian, 1921-1981)Adam partially signed and dated '1967' (on the base)black marble152.4cm high (60in high).UniqueFootnotes:ProvenanceThe Artist, by whom gifted to the present ownerPrivate Collection, U.K.ExhibitedGeneva, Galerie Chedal, November-December 1967London, Grosvenor Gallery, June-July 1970LiteratureCarol Plazotta and Richard O'Conor, Enzo Plazzotta, A Catalogue Raisonné, Trefoil, London, 1986, p.183, cat.no.M4The post-war works of Enzo Plazzotta eschew the period's fashion for modernism, remaining resolutely classical. Italian born and London based, Plazzotta's sculpture will be familiar to many through the several public works still situated on London's streets, such as the lyrical statue of dancer David Wall prominently displayed on Millbank. The present large black marble carving of Adam draws its posing from Michelangelo's famous Sistine Chapel fresco central section The Creation of Adam (c.1508-1512). In both, the figure's nude physique is contrasted against roughhewn rock; his index finger reaches skyward capturing the moment when God confers the divine spark of life upon him.The present work is unique in this material, with two further carvings of the subject executed in White and Statuario marble. Only twenty-two marbles by Plazzotta are recorded, with the examples of Adam being the largest. An edition of nine (plus an artist's edition) were planned to be cast into bronze in 1975, with the present Black marble carving used for the mould, but records suggest only three examples were ever cast. A Bronze cast of Adam is in the collection of the Spencer Museum of Art, Kansas.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: AR TPAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.TP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Lot 53
Lord Frederick Leighton (British, 1830-1896)A bronze figure of 'The Sluggard', the nude male stretching, on canted square base, inscribed THE SLUGGARD, and signed Fred Leighton, and with inscribed foundry marks, FOUNDED BY J. W. SINGER & SONS, FROME SOMERSET, 52cm high (20in high).Footnotes:Although perhaps better known as a fashionable Royal Academy painter of the late 19th century, Leighton took up sculpture in the 1870's and today is regarded as the father of New Sculpture in England. Leighton's Sluggard, also known as 'Athlete Awakening from Sleeping', was first executed in 1882. Giuseppe Valona, the Italian model who posed for 'An Athlete Struggling with a Python', was again used for the Sluggard. Edgcumbe Staley described the moment when: 'Giuseppe Valona, the model, a man of fine proportions, weary one day of posing in the studio, threw himself back, stretched out his arms and gave a great yawn. Leighton saw the whole performance and fixed it roughly in clay straight off.'A more refined life-size plaster was later exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1886 and was awarded a medal of honour when it was shown at the Paris Exposition Universelle three years later. A bronze cast of this plaster, acquired by Henry Tate in 1896, is now in the Tate Gallery.The Sluggard has obvious parallels with Rodin's 'Age of Bronze', exhibited in 1884 and it was perhaps this work which encouraged Leighton to revive his earlier model. The work later became one of the most popular Victorian statuettes when reduced-scale bronze editions were made by Arthur Leslie Collie and cast by the Singer Foundry.LiteratureS.

Sir William Reid Dick (British, 1878-1961)A bronze figure of 'The Catapult' or 'Slingshot Boy', the nude figure twisting to the right and aiming his catapult, the naturalistic base signed and dated W. Reid Dick 1911, mounted on veined green marble rectangular plinth base, the figure 63cm. high (24 13/16in high), 67cm high (26 3/8in high) overall.Footnotes:ProvenanceChristie's, Furniture, Works of Art & Carpets, 13th September 2005, lot 263Reid Dick first exhibited his bronze of 'The Catapult' or 'The Slingshot' as it was alternatively known at the Royal Academy in 1911. Measuring 60cm high, this large scale version was first cast by the Italian founder Giovanni Galizia at the Parlanti foundry and is now in the Bradford City Art Gallery, Cartwright Hall. Later reductions in two sizes, 60cm and a smaller and more common 33cm high were cast by Galizia in his own foundry although the model was subsequently cast after the first world war by other foundries. The Victorian Web states that examples of the large size cast measuring 60cm high are rare, citing the Bradford example as being the only known recorded example of this size held in a British public collection. The present bronze measuring 63cm high is however evidently rarer still, as it corresponds in height with an apparently unique bronze figure of the same subject sold in these rooms as lot 297, 4 November 2015, Fine English Furniture, Sculpture & Works of Art, sale 22305, which had direct provenance to the sculptor and family descendants. This figure was marked with the foundry stamp for the Morris Singer Foundry, dating it to no earlier than 1927 when the foundry firms of Morris and Singer merged. In addition the surface of this figure, much like the present lot, had a distinctive Verdigris green tone which apparently was Reid Dick's preferred surface finish for patination when he oversaw the casting and finishing process. As such, it is possible that the present lot, although unmarked, may also date from the same period. LiteratureD. Wardleworth, William Reid Dick, Sculptor, Ashgate, p.160H.

MISSFELDT, brown patination, 56cm (22in) high.Footnotes:The brother of the painter Friedrich, Heinrich Kissfeldt's career began when he was apprenticed to the wood sculptor Peter Schnorr in Kiel in Berlin in 1891. First conceived and executed in 1903, his work 'Kugelspieler' gave Missfeldt his first artistic breakthrough and success and the catalogue for the prestigious Gladenbeck foundry in Berlin subsequently listed a number of the sculptors works in the early 20th century. Missfeldt's most famous and critically acclaimed work is perhaps the Klaus Groth Fountain in Kiel which was first unveiled in 1912.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Raymond Leon Rivoire (French, 1884-1966)An important large bronze bust of 'Neptune'depicted as the head of the young sea god with stylised wavy hair adorned by a pendant shell hung bandeau at the hairline, signed to one side R. Rivoire, dark brown patination, 52cm (20in) high. Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate French collection, by repute the bust originally commissioned by a wealthy patron directly from the sculptor.The sculptor Raymond Rivoire won a gold medal at the salon of 1929, leading to his most important commission and a milestone of the Art Deco era, the colossal marine group 'The God Neptune drawn by a sea horse', for the luxurious and stylish French ocean liner SS Normandie launched in 1932. This sculpture was itself a pendant to his work 'The Goddess Artemis and her greyhound' commissioned for an earlier French Art Deco ship SS Transatlantique launched in 1925 which was subsequently reproduced as scale editions in bronze in the late 1920s.Although the lavish interiors of the Normandie incorporating Rivoire's work were destroyed by fire during a US requisition refit to turn the ship into a troop carrier in New York in 1942, the present head which which is derived from Rivoire's original group, was apparently a special commission for a wealthy client living in Monaco in the early 1930s. The sculptor also produced a second version of the full group, which survives to the present day as a centrepiece of the fountain adjacent to the Reynaldo Hahn Square in the gardens of the Croisette in Cannes.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

Dans ses peintures, qui rappellent l'architecture pharaonique abstraite en employant les matériaux traditionnels des anciens - tempera sur papyrus. Ses sculptures puissantes s'appuient sur les éléments des arts pharaoniques vus dans l'œuvre de Mokhtar, les combinant avec l'abstraction de maîtres modernes tels que Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore pour produire un style élégant et cohérent. Diplômé de l'Académie des Beaux-Arts du Caire en 1953, il reçoit une bourse qui lui permet de passer deux ans près de Thèbes, à étudier les peintures des tombes pharaoniques. C'est à cette époque qu'il observe et expérimente la vie dans les villages de la Haute-Égypte, qui deviendront bientôt un des thèmes principaux de ses projets. Là-bas, il sera à l’initiative d’un FIAée en plein air et du Symposium international de sculpture d'Assouan, réputé dans le monde entier.
