§ Chana Orloff (1888-1968), Le Retour, 1945, an impressionistically modelled bronze of a seated male in thought, signed and dated in the bronze, foundry mark for Susse Foundeur to the reverse, unnumbered from the edition of 10 55.5cm high Provenance: Acquired from the artist by David Spier, and thence by descent within the family. The eighth of nine children, Ukrainian-born French-Israeli sculptor, Chana Orloff, left an indelible mark on the landscape of modernist art during the early 20th century. Although best known for her bronze creations, Orloff demonstrated throughout her career her technical proficiency in media including wood, stone, marble and cement.After working and living in Palestine from 1905, in 1910 Orloff's artistic journey took a transformative turn in Paris. Previously pursuing dress-making, in Paris she discovered a passion for sculpture amidst pioneering luminaries including Modigliani, Soutine, Zadkine and Chagall. Despite a brief return to Palestine, Orloff embraced Paris as her home and artistic sanctuary. By 1920, Orloff's works were beginning to garner international acclaim and by 1925 her significance as an artist was acknowledged by the French government, who made her a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. World exhibitions, including a dedicated room at the Petit Palais in 1937, shortly followed.Following the conclusion of World War II, Orloff returned to France to find her studio sacked and her sculptures mutilated. The present lot, Le Retour, or The Return, marks a significant departure from Orloff’s previous works and demonstrates the profound psychological impacts of warfare, both personally and collectively. Abandoning her characteristic curves and smooth edges, the Le Retour exploits and tortures the medium to express the anxiety of the sitter, which is further echoed by his pensive pose. Having completed the work, Orloff waited for eighteen years before finally exhibiting the work at the Katia Granoff gallery in 1963. In good overall condition with even dark patination, some light abbrasions around the footrim. Un-numbered, but according to the vendor, purchased in Paris in 1971 as part of the edition of ten.
Lot 83
§ Sir Eduardo Paolozzi CBE (1924-2005), Count Basie, 1987,a brown patinated bronze bust, mounted on an integral stepped plinth base, signed and dated to the bronze, numbered 2/239 x 28.5 x 21.5cm Paolozzi’s fascination with the morphological aspects of the human head finds its roots in his 1950 busts of 'Mr. Cruikshank'. Inspired by a research dummy composed of wood and used to measure the penetration of X-rays into a human skull, Paolozzi’s Mr. Cruikshank sought to disrupt the traditional ideals of the portrait bust. Despite featuring elements of classical formalism and symmetry, Mr. Cruikshank bore an uncanny sense of ‘the other,' existing simultaneously in ancient and futuristic realms.Amongst a series of bronze cast heads crafted by Paolozzi in the late 1980s, the present lot depicts American jazz pianist and bandleader, Count Basie, andis numbered 2/2 from an edition of three, with only two bearing numbered designations. Distinguished by their varied patinas, a green patinated version, numbered 1/2, is held at the Tate, whilst an unnumbered brown-green example forms part of the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland. It is in these works that Paolozzi demonstrates the full fruition of his explorations into the human head.Mapping his collaging practice onto the three-dimensional object, Paolozzi’s Count Basie deconstructs the human face, pushing it towards the Rubicon of unrecognizability. Using found objects, including, appropriately for the subject, a mouth-shaped harmonica,the artwork adopts a hybrid identity, blending elements of both human and machine. Although the formal differences between Mr Cruikshank and Count Basie are dramatic, Paolozzi has borrowed and repurposed motifs from his earlier work, including the eyes of the former, which, on the latter, become enlarged and distorted.Incorporating influences from Picasso's Cubism, the Dadaists' photomontage aesthetics, and Paolozzi's own studies into Surrealism, Count Basie illustrates the culmination of a lifetime obsession with classicism, the found object and the uneasy relationship between man and machine.
