Sung Nakhee, B. 1971 UNTITLED signed and dated 2003 on the overlap acrylic on canvas 70 by 80cm.; 27.5 by 31.5in. Provenance Gallery Mogadishni, Copenhagen Acquired from the above by the present owner in 2004 While reminiscent of postwar action painting of Jackson Pollock and other abstract expressionists, the use of vibrant colour in Sungs painting is also suggestive of graffiti art within urban popular culture. The fusion of densely applied fluorescent acrylic paint creates a rich visual expression, quite unique within the rubric of contemporary Asian art.

OSCAR EDMUND BERNINGHAUS (American 1874-1952)Winter Evening (Taos) c. 1918Oil on canvas25in. x 30in.Signed lower right : O.E. BERNINGHAUSThis quiet painting of the horses huddled together outside the warm tavern on a cold snowy night shows Berninghaus' mastery of the western nocturne a genre first brought to prominence by Frederic Remington and continued by Berninghaus' contemporary Frank Tenney Johnson. While Remington utilized a greenish palatte and Johnson cast his scenes in blue tones Berninghaus may have created the perfect nighttime painting with contrasting warm and cool grays that lend to the sense of cold reality that the cowboys endured. This large-scale painting is a rare fine example in the artist's oeuvre of the nocturne genre in addition to being a superb example of Berninghaus' talent for rendering horses in the rural settings of New Mexico.This painting by one of the founders of the Taos Art Society occupies an important place in the artist's oeuvre. The painting comes directly from the Berninghaus family of Taos. There is a letter of authentication signed by the artist's granddaughter Barbara Brenner that accompanies the lot. The present work is being offered for public sale for the first time.Provenance: Berninghaus Family Taos NM; Fenn Galleries Santa Fe NMExhibited: Parsons Fine Art Taos NM (referred to as Moonlight Taos)

Peter Doig, b. 1959, UNTITLED, signed and dated 2000 on the reverse, gouache on card, 15x10cm.; 6x4in. The depiction of the bearded man in the canoe has become a seminal image in the work of Peter Doig. This example, which dates from 2000, relates most closely to one of Doig's first large scale paintings of the same year and subject, entitled 100 Years Ago. The painting combines the depiction of a timeless, romantic wilderness with elements of magical realism. The figure stares out from his orange canoe, vascillating between a figure of pre-history and a contemporary icon of modernity. Provenance: Royal College of Art, London.

Literature: Ralph Rugoff, Kristine Stiles, Giacinto Di Pietrantonio & Jean-Paul Sartre, Paul McCarthy, London 1996, pp. 138-141, illustration in colour of another example. In Fresh Acconci the artists re-stage classic 1970s performance works by Vito Acconci with a deliberate ironic Californian sensibility. Responding to a resurgence in body-art in the mid-90s, the video and production stills portray how Kelley and McCarthy intentionally misrepresented Acconci's performances through contemporary art direction and the inclusion of a cast of nude Hollywood actors which substitute the artist. The overall product contains strong references to Hollywood 8 movies and soft-core pornography, with subtle wit and sophistication.
