L. BARYE and inscribed F.BARBEDIENNE, 41cm high Footnotes:Barye's Theseus and the Centaur depicts a moment in the battle between the Lapiths of Thessaly and the centaurs of Arcadia in which Theseus saves Hippodamia, daughter of the king of the Lapiths, from a centaur by violently slaying him.Following a fourteen-year lacuna, Barye exhibited his semi-life-size plaster Theseus and the Centaur at the Paris Salon of 1850 to great acclaim. Théophile Gauthier wrote in response to viewing the work that it 'showed that this Romantic who had been banned by the [Salon] jury was the modern sculptor who comes closest to Phidias and Greek sculpture.'

An early Victorian japanned papier mache tea tray or 'tea board' by Walton & Co painted with a view entitled 'Guard Room, Chamboard'of 'Gothic' barbed oval form, the central reserve painted with an interior view of the Château de Chambord of romanticised medieval figures in vaulted room with the staircase hall behind, within a leafy garlanded border, the rear with impressed factory mark B Walton Co, Wolverhampton and painters title and number Guard Room, Chamboard, 400, together with traces of the original painted retailers mark, possibly Adam? 3? Bishopsgate?, 71cm x 54.5cm approximatelyFootnotes:The tray appears to show the famous staircase believed to have been designed by Leonardo da Vinci at the royal Château de Chambord in the Loire Valley, France.Benjamin Walton & Co. was formed in 1840 with William Ryton. When Ryton retired in 1842, Benjamin Walton became director until his death in 1847. The firm was located in Old Hall in Wolverhampton which housed a long line of japanners from 1767 to 1882 -- Jones & Taylor, Obadiah & William Ryton, Ryton & Walton, Benjamin Walton & Co, and Frederick Walton & Co.The artists employed by Walton introduced a new decorative style of church interiors, famous houses and castles painted against gold or bronze backgrounds. This type of decoration was so popular that it became known as the 'Wolverhampton style'. Walton & Co. is particularly known for a series of these so-called 'gothic' shaped trays, typically measuring 20-25 inches wide, and are seldom, if ever, signed by the artist. However, they are generally impressed B. Walton & Co. or B. Walton & Co. Warranted and titled on reverse with evocative descriptions of the scene depicted it is probable that the three or four finely-painted tea-trays recorded as being on the display of the Wolverhampton Old Hall stand at the 1846 Manchester Exposition were of this type.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A.R. Penck (German 1939 - 2017) STANDART SCULPTUREmarblediameter: 27cmPROVENANCEGalerie Frank Hänel; Private Collection, Cape Town While mostly known for his prints, paintings and drawings, German expressionist A.R. Penck produced a number of sculptures, usually using bronze or stainless steel, and occasionally using terracotta or wood. During our premier auction in October 2020 we sold Holzplstik (1972) a small wooden sculpture for R 50 000 as well as Holzplastik (1992) one of an edition of five of the same sculpture cast in bronze twenty years later, which sold for R 150 000. It is quite rare to find a marble sculpture produced by A.R. Penck, especially one that is so finished in its application, as opposed to the spontaneity of his prints and paintings. It appears that the artist used a dremmel with specific attachments to carve his typical standart figures and other signs and symbols so uniformly and delicately, just a millimetre or two into the surface of the marble. The outermost layer of the marble sculpture has been left rough and unpolished, while the indentation of the figures and signs is polished, revealing the subtle veins that characterises this marble. The two stick figures carved into the marble sculpture are a recurring motif in Penck’s work. The artist named this figurative theme ‘standart’ when these archaic figures began to populate his work in 1961. From these simplified figures, dots and lines Penck began to construct a pictographic alphabet, consisting of personal mythologies, and therefore not necessarily decipherable, rather they are the artist’s visual logic. In 2019, two years after the artist’s death, the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archeology exhibited a retrospective of the artist’s work A.R. Penck: I Think in Pictures, focusing on the ‘standart’ motif. Standart was a conflation of the English word “standard” and the German “standarte”, meaning “banner”. For the artist, these works operated like flags, emblematic of human universality. Suzanne Duncan Fritsch, L. A.R. Penck: I Think in Pictures. Oxford: Ashmolean Museum, 2019
