Adam Henein was born in Cairo in 1929 into a family of metalworkers. In 1953, he graduated from School of Fine Arts, Cairo, he went on to receive a two-year grant to study at the Luxor Atelier. The atelier was established a decade earlier by the notable Egyptian artist and scholar Mohamed Nagi to promote Egyptian art education in school circular. In 1954 and 1956 Henein received the Luxor price for his artistic achievements. Two years later, he received a diploma in advanced practices from the Munich Academy in Germany.In 1971, Adam Henein was invited to participate in an Egyptian contemporary art exhibition in Paris at the Musée Galleria. He spent the next two and half decades, from 1971 to 1996 in Paris pushing his practice through sculpture and painting and continued focusing on ancient Egyptian themes and traditional materials. The early 1970s marked an important evolution in Henein's artistic practice, whilst in Paris he was given the opportunity to be exposed to the work of great western modern sculptors and artists whose freedom of interpretation he found to be deeply inspiring.In the late 1990s, Henein returned to his homeland. He contributed greatly to his Egypt's cultural landscape, particularly in Aswan where he established the city's annual International Sculpture Symposium. Upon his return to Egypt he was also appointed by the Minister of Culture to head the design team involved in the restoration of the Great Sphinx in Giza. Henein was awarded Egypt's State Medal, the State Merit Award, as well as the Mubarak Award in the arts. His works have been exhibited at the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The MATHAF in Doha, The ASB Gallery in Munich as well as in London and Rome.Throughout his vast career Henein produced a significant number of large and small-scale sculptures handling a variety of different mediums such as bronze, granite, plaster, limestone and terracotta. In 2014, the Adam Henein Museum opened its door in Cairo's Al-Harraniya district, which is a priceless gift from the artist himself to his native country. The museum is dedicated to the largest collection of Henein's sculptures as well as featuring some of his paintings.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

Mohammed Ghani Hikmat (Iraq, 1929-2011)The Family wooden sculpture signed 'Ghani Hikmat' and dated '1964' in Arabic (lower right), executed in 1964171.5 x 46.5cm (67 1/2 x 18 5/16in).Footnotes:Provenance:Property from the private collection, GermanyAcquired directly from the artist by the present owner's family.'The modulation of sculpted lines in my figures, has been one of the focal points of my work for many years; what drew me in particular to the configuration of these forms is the dual appearance of both conflict and interplay between them. The union and fusion of sculpted figures is an integral part of my work and presents us with a constantly changeable relationship between form and meaning'- Mohammed Ghani HikmatThis remarkable wooden sculpture is a true testament to the unique artistic vision of Mohammed Ghani Hikmat. Born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1961, Hikmat has become known for his distinctive stylized approach to sculpture.Executed in an impressive scale, this sculpture portrays a Bedouin family in Hikmat's distinctive stylized manner. Rather than focusing on fine detail, Hikmat uses bold, sweeping curves and outlines to capture the essence of each figure. The result is a powerful and evocative portrayal that emphasizes the emotion and movement of the family.The wood itself is a work of art, with its deep, rich colors and fine-grained texture. Hikmat's skillful use of the medium creates a sense of fluidity and dynamism, adding to the sense of motion and energy in the sculpture.In 1953, Mohammed Ghani Hikmat graduated from the Institute of Fine Art in Baghdad. He then travelled to Rome to train at the Accademia di Belle Arti, graduating in 1959. While in Italy, he also studied metals at the Instituto di Zaka in Florence, specializing in casting bronze. He subsequently taught sculpture at the Baghdad Institute of Fine Art and the College of Architectural Engineering at the University of Baghdad.During his career, Hikmat was a prolific creator and exhibitor, and an active participant in the growing Iraqi art scene. He held several solo shows in Rome, San Remo, London, Beirut, and Baghdad. He also participated in most major national exhibitions in Iraq. He was a member of the Society of the Friends of Art and later the az-Zawiya group headed by Faiq Hassan. Significantly, Hikmat was also an influential member of the Baghdad Group of Modern Art (BGMA).Founded by his teachers and friends, Jewad Selim and Shakir Hassan Al-Said, the BGMA was arguably the most important artist society in modern Iraq and was dedicated to the idea that Iraq's heritage held a preeminent place within its modern art practice.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

Adam Henein (Egypt, 1929-2020)The Goat bronzesigned 'A.HENEIN' and numbered 'III/ VIII' on the bottom, number 3 from an edition of 10, executed in 1965 84 x 60cm (33 1/16 x 23 5/8in).Footnotes:Provenance:Property from a private collectionExhibited:Adam Henein Museum, Permanant Collection, Giza (another edition)Published:S. Al-Sharouny, A Museum in a Book: The Farsi Art Collection 'The Egyptian Works' Owned by Dr. Mohammed Said Farsi, Cairo 1998 (illustrated in colour p. 318 and illustrated p. 316 ref. 3/41).M. Khazindar, Adam Henein, Skira, Milan 2005 (another edition illustrated in colour p. 69).An iconic 1960's 'Donkey' sculpture by Adam Henein'In Abrahamic traditions, the goat stands as a poignant symbol of sacrifice and atonement. From the ancient Biblical ritual of the scapegoat, bearing the sins of the community into the wilderness, to the deeper theological narratives, the goat embodies the complexities of innocence, burden, and redemption. Its role serves as a profound reflection on humanity's relationship with the divine and our quest for absolution.'Bonham's are thrilled to unveil one of the most defining and iconic Adam Henein sculptures to ever come to market. One of the artists seminal early zoomorphic sculptures, dating from 1965, 'Goat' stands as a grand, symbolically profound, and deeply evocative example of Henein's oeuvre.Henein's childhood memories from a pastoral village in Egypt fostered a profound bond with the natural milieu and animals that surrounded him. Among them, the goat, particularly the proud female with her large, nurturing udder, captured his imagination. In the rural tapestry of Egypt, the goat emerges not only as an essential asset to peasant life but also as an emblem of vitality and fertility.To Henein, the goat epitomized the grace and allure of a modest existence and the intricate bond between humans and the natural world. The expressiveness of the goat's countenance and the emotions conveyed through its stance and demeanour deeply resonated with him.Supplementing his personal affinity for the goat was the influence of ancient Egyptian traditions, which revered animals both in worship and in daily life. Henein's goat sculptures reflect his aspiration to encapsulate this age-old reverence, immortalizing the eternal elegance and dignity of these creatures.In ancient Egyptian society, goats held both utilitarian and symbolic significance. They were indispensable to peasant life, providing milk, meat, and hide. Moreover, goats were intertwined with the lore of Khnum, the god of fertility. Their representation in art and mythology, therefore, bore witness to Egypt's agricultural legacy and its dependence on these animals.Yet, the symbolism of goats is not restricted to ancient Egyptian context. In Christian traditions, goats evoke powerful narratives. Their portrayal as innocent 'scapegoats' underscores their sacrificial roles, bearing humanity's burdens before God. However, the duality of their symbolism is evident, as they have, at times, been associated with the devil, representing the nuanced balance of sacred and profane. Today, the goat remains not only a tribute to Egypt's rich agrarian past but also a testament to its continued relevance in many regions of the nation.'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
