CORINTH, LOVIS1858 Tapiau/Ostpreußen - 1925 ZandvoortTitel: Stillleben Metall. Datierung: 1910. Technik: Öl auf Leinwand. Maße: 77 x 50cm. Bezeichnung: Signiert und datiert rechts mittig: LOVIS CORINTH 1910. Rahmen/Sockel: Modellrahmen. Provenienz:- Dr. Pater, Königsberg- Stadträtin Lemmel, Königsberg- Dr. A. Sonnenburg, Berlin- Gemälde-Galerie C. Nicolai, Berlin (Aufkleberfragment)- Galerie Franz Brutscher, München- Galerie Aenne Abels, Köln (Aufkleberfragment)- Privatsammlung Ausstellungen:- Kunstsammlung Stadt Königsberg, 1924- Galerie Aenne Abels, Köln 1956 Literatur: - Berend-Corinth, Charlotte: Lovis Corinth - Die Gemälde, Werkverzeichnis, neu bearbeitet von Béatrice Hernad, München 1992 (2. Aufl.), WVZ.-Nr. 440, Abb.Drei Metall-Gegenstände hat Lovis Corinth hier auf einem Tisch arrangiert. Sie geben dem Stillleben den Namen. Eine Messingkanne, ein glänzend aufpolierter Zinntopf mit Deckel und eine bronzene Figur bilden den Dreiklang, mit dem der Maler sich selbst herausforderte und mit dem er seine virtuosen Fähigkeiten unter Beweis stellte. Ergänzt werden diese Drei durch die ebenfalls harte, durch den Prismenschliff aber ganz anders das Licht reflektierende, blaue Bleikristall-Vase mit zwei üppigen, hellrosa-farbenen, großblütigen Chrysanthemen. Eine ockergelbe Wand schließt den Innenraum, in dem sich dieses Arrangement befindet, in der Tiefe ab. Andere Elemente im Hintergrund sind nur vage angedeutet. Ihre Farbwerte sind für die Komposition wichtig, sie lenken aber nicht von der Konzentration auf den Vordergrund ab.Die Lichtquelle, die das Arrangement in ein warmes Licht taucht, liegt schräg rechts, außerhalb des Bildraums. Mit kühnen Pinselstrichen modelliert Corinth die glänzenden Gefäße. Die Farben Rot, Braun, Gelb und Weiß, pastos und additiv aufgetragen, ergeben das brillante Messing, in dem sich die bronzene Figur spiegelt. Das kühle Blau, Schwarz, Weiß und graue Mischtöne nutzt er für das Zinngefäß, wobei sich auch hier Reflektionen der rotbraunen Tischplatte in der Wandung spiegeln. Ganz anders gibt Corinth die optische und haptische Beschaffenheit der Bronze wider. Es gibt hellere Partien, mit mehr Grün-Anteil, sparsam mit Weiß und Gelb gehöht und dunklere, schwärzliche Bereiche, die dem Licht abgewandt sind. Ein starker Schattenwurf auf dem Sockel markiert den Lichteinfall deutlich. Die obere Bildhälfte dominieren die beiden fedrigen Blütenköpfe, die wie ein Feuerwerk das Licht bündeln.Die wie zufällig auf dem Tisch versammelten Objekte haben als Gesamtkomposition eine ungemein starke Präsenz. Sie berühren jeweils fast die Grenzen des Bildraums; ganz nah hat der Künstler den Bildausschnitt gewählt, ein minimaler Farbraum trennt die Objekte von der Realität außerhalb des Bildes.Dieses eindrucksvolle Stillleben malte Lovis Corinth 1910, auf dem Zenit seines Ruhms. Der Sohn eines gutbürgerlichen Gerberei- und Landwirtschafts-Unternehmers aus der Ostpreußischen Provinz hatte in Königsberg, München, Antwerpen und Paris die bestmögliche künstlerische Ausbildung genossen. Nach einer ersten Phase in Berlin, Ende der 1880er Jahre, ließ Corinth sich zunächst in München nieder. Dort geriet er jedoch mehr und mehr in die Flügelkämpfe des Kunstbetriebes. Und Berlin zog ihn an. Dort zeigte er seit Anfang der 1890er Jahre erfolgreiche Ausstellungen in den Galerien Fritz Gurlitts und Eduard Schultes. Sein Freund Walter Leistikow vermittelten ihm einträgliche Portrait-Aufträge der Berliner Gesellschaft und 1901 übersiedelte Corinth endgültig in die Reichshauptstadt. Im selben Jahr stellte er in der Galerie Paul Cassirers aus und wurde Mitglied der Berliner Sezession, bald schon deren Vorstandsmitglied. Die Zusammenarbeit mit Paul Cassirer gestaltete sich besonders erfolgreich. Zum einen vermittelte der Galerist und Verleger Ausstellungen Corinths in andere deutsche Städte, zum anderen verkaufte er fertige Bilder des gefeierten Meisters direkt aus dem Atelier. In Paul Cassirers Galerie begegnete Corinth aber auch den Arbeiten von Cezanne und Manet, die ihn begeisterten. In seiner Pariser Zeit waren die modernen impressionistischen Strömungen von dem jungen Kunststudenten noch nicht wahrgenommen worden.Heute wird Lovis Corinths Kunst gerne mit dem Etikett des Spät-Impressionismus versehen. Tatsächlich sah er selbst seine Wurzeln als kraftvoll die Form auflösender Kolorist aber eher in seiner Auseinandersetzung mit den "Alten Meistern" des 17. Jahrhunderts, mit Rubens, Rembrandt und vor allem Frans Hals: "Der Frans Hals hat genauso gemalt, der Kerl, wie ich. Ich brauche mich gar nicht zu verstellen" schrieb er 1907 an seine Frau. (in: Brief Lovis Corinth an Charlotte Berend-Corinth, 7.9.1907, zitiert nach: (in: Brief Lovis Corinth an Charlotte Berend-Corinth, 7.9.1907, zitiert nach: Ausst.-Kat. Lovis Corinth und die Moderne, Musée d'Orsay, Paris/Museum der bildenden Künste, Leipzig/Kunstforum Ostdeutsche Galerie, Regensburg, Bielefeld 2008, S. 35).)Ein großer Unterschied zu den Impressionisten ist allerdings, dass Lovis Corinth immer auch Historienmaler war. Mythologische, antike oder christliche Geschichten setzte er nicht überhöht, sondern naturalistisch mit seinem flirrend kraftvollen Pinselduktus in Szene. Dabei waren die Gestalten von Bacchus und seinem Gefolge für Corinth ein immer wieder bearbeitetes Thema. Im Gott des Weines und des Rauschs sah Corinth wohl auch sein "alter Ego"; mehrfach hat er sich selbst als Bacchus portraitiert.Die bacchantische Seite Corinths, des unangepassten Normensprengers, findet sich auch in diesem Gemälde. Denn bei der Statuette handelt es sich um die Bronze-Replik eines antiken, ein Öllicht tragenden Silens, der in Pompeji gefunden wurde (Foto). In mindestens zwei weiteren Stillleben hat Lovis Corinth diese Leuchter-Figur verwendet, die für ihn vermutlich eine spezielle Bedeutung hatte. Dieses Stillleben mit seinem teils eruptiven Pinselduktus ist ein deutlicher Beleg für die Bedeutung, die Lovis Corinth für die moderne gegenständliche Malerei in Deutschland hat.

ARAD, RON1951 Tel AvivTitel: After Spring & Before Summer. Untertitel: Zwei Chaises longues. Datierung: 1992. Technik: Bronze, patiniert und poliert. Maße: After Spring: Ca. 107 x 200 x 38cm. Before Summer: Ca. 132 x 172 x 38cm. Bezeichnung: Jeweils signiert und nummeriert (geritzt) an einer Seitenkante: Ron Arad 3/5 bzw. 4/5. Exemplar: 3/5 bzw. 4/5. Provenienz:- Galerie Mourmans, Maastricht- Privatsammlung Nordrhein-WestfalenLiteratur: - Vgl. Sudjic, Deyan (Hrsg.): Ron Arad, London 2001, S. 60, Abb. (hier nur 'After Spring' aufgeführt)- Vgl. Ausst.-Kat. Ron Arad, No discipline, Centre Pompidou, Paris/The Museum of Modern Art, New York/Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, New York 2009, S.54f. Abb.Immer wieder gelingt es dem 1951 in Tel Aviv geborenen Designer und Architekten Ron Arad in seinen Entwürfen die Grenzen zwischen Kunst und Design aufzubrechen und seine unkonventionellen Ideen in Serienanfertigungen umzusetzen, womit er sie für ein breites Publikum nutzbar macht. Dies ist einer der Gründe für den immensen Erfolg Arads, dessen Designs sich weltweit großer Beliebtheit erfreuen. Bereits in den 1980er Jahren überrascht er den Markt mit seinen innovativen Kreationen, die ihn zu einem internationalen Star der Designszene machen.Arad legt großen Wert auf den Unikatcharakter seiner Entwürfe, den sie durch die Materialwahl, arbeitsintensive Technik und außergewöhnliche Formen erhalten. Trotz ihrer einzigartigen Ästhetik werden seine Möbel dabei nie dysfunktional. Funktion und Ästhetik bedingen sich in seinen Entwürfen gegenseitig. So auch bei den beiden Chaise longues "After Spring" und "Before Summer" aus dem Jahr 1992, die in einer kleinen Auflage von nur 5 Exemplaren erschienen. Dem Kunstkritiker Matthew Collings beschrieb Arad seinen Entwurf zu "After Spring" als einen Stuhl "in einer Linie, die sich in der Mitte verdickt und zu den Enden hin verjüngt. Der Schaukelsockel scheint zu klein zu sein, um die Schaukelbewegung zu unterstützen, wird aber durch die schwere innere Gewichtung stabil gemacht. Die dünnen Enden enthalten federnde 'Knochen' aus gehärtetem Stahl, die ihnen Stärke und Flexibilität verleihen." (Ron Arad, in: Ausst.-Kat. Ron Arad, No Discipline, Centre Pompidou, Paris/The Museum of Modern Art, New York/Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, New York 2009, S.54).

Lot 332

Measurements: 14 x 16 x 14 cm. The piece we present stands out for the use of inlay, an Andalusian technique characteristic of the Spanish Late Middle Ages as an ornamental procedure for furniture and household goods. The term inlay, whose origin is found in the Arabic word tarsi (inlay), traditionally applied to the ornamentation of pieces of furniture with fine fragments of different colors and textures, as well as with other materials such as bone and ivory. We find the origin of this industry in Córdoba, during al-Andalus, it will not be until the time of the Nazari sultanate, when its use becomes popular in noble and courtly environments as a procedure to ennoble objects of the wealthiest classes. After the taking of Granada, even before the conquest, we find pieces produced with the same influence. The Spanish word “marquetry” is usually used as a synonym. Already in the pre Catholic Kings era, an excellent cabinetmaking workshop located in the Medieval Córdoba. A technique that consists of gluing small prismatic portions (triangular and/or trapezoidal) of ivory or bone – in natural color or dyed, together with polygonal pieces of select woods, often of exotic origin (aloe, ebony, sandalwood, boxwood). , lemon tree...), to which fragments of tortoiseshell or mother-of-pearl and even small silver or bronze metal points were sometimes added.

Michael Ayrton (British, 1921-1975)Lens numbered '6/12' (to base of sculpture)bronze with a light brown patina and perspex, on a wooden base35cm (13 3/4in) high (including base); 31cm (12 3/16in) high (excluding base)Conceived in 1973Footnotes:ExhibitedSomerset, Bruton Gallery, Michael Ayrton: Recurring Themes and Images, 28 March-2 May 1981, no. 46 (another cast), illustratedThe present lot is offered together with a copy of the above exhibition catalogue.Lens is from a series of sculptures which Ayrton called Reflectors, where he brought together one of the oldest man-made materials (bronze) and one of the most recent (neutral-density Perspex) in sculptures which continue to explore the theme of mazes and extend the concept to include the maze-like perceptual effects that can be produced with mirrors. Perspex has the unique characteristic of being simultaneously transparent and reflective and Ayrton discovered that by placing bronze figures either side of a vertical Perspex sheet set into a bronze base and then rotating the sculpture on a turntable the figures could be made to interpenetrate and overlie each other in a complicated mirror-ballet of real and virtual images. In Lens, one of the latest of the series, the Perspex sheet is inset with a biconvex lens, which changes the reflective effects, and adds additional complexities of scale and position to the dance of the figures until it is almost impossible to believe that only two among the multitude are real.We are grateful to Dr Justine Hopkins for her assistance in cataloguing this lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
