2005 Ferrari 360 Modena Transmission: automaticMileage:7318The Ferrari 360 was manufactured from 1999 to 2005 and succeeded the F355. It is a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, V8 powered coupé and Ferrari partnered with Alcoa to produce an entirely new, all aluminium space-frame chassis that was 40% stiffer than the F355. Along with a lightweight frame, the new Pininfarina body styling deviated from traditions of the previous decade's sharp angles and flip-up headlights. The new V8 engine utilised a 3.6 litre capacity and, despite what looked like, on paper, as modest gains, in reality the power to weight ratio was significantly improved. The first model to be rolled out was the 360 Modena, followed later by the 360 Spider and finally, as a special edition, the Challenge Stradale.Presented in Giallo Modena Yellow with contrasting black leather trim, this is a sought after incredibly low mileage example. A desirable F1, left hand drive example first registered in 2005 to a businessman in Japan, but imported to the UK in March 2012 to it's current UK owner. The 3586cc engine fires up immediately and sounds evocative. We are advised it drives well as every Ferrari does with no known faults. The odometer equates to an incredible 4,500 miles from new and this 360 is supplied with a V5 registration document and a current MoT test certificate. A very attractive motorcar and, what can be considered, one of the ultimate driving Ferraris.

Auguste Rodin, 1840 Paris – 1917 MeudonMAIN DE DIEU Modell um 1900, jedoch vor 1905, posthumer Guss von 1943Bronze, gegossen und schokoladenbraun patiniert.15,5 x 16,7 x 15,2 cm.Außen signiert „A. Rodin“, innen erhaben signiert „A. Rodin“, außen mit Gießerstempel „A. Rudier fondeur Paris“.Einer von nur zwei Güssen aus dem Jahr, bei einer weltweiten Gesamtauflage von fünf Güssen.Beigegeben ein Gutachten der Comité Auguste Rodin vom 5. Februar 2022, in Kopie. Aus dem Gutachten geht hervor, dass der Guss 1943 zu datieren ist, da in diesem Jahr Dokumente bezeugen, dass 11 Stunden an der Ziselierung und eine Stunde an der Montierung der Bronze gearbeitet worden sind und eine Reduktion eines größeren Marmorvorbildes darstellen, das im Musée Rodin verwahrt wird. Dier hier angebotene Bronze wird unter der Werkverzeichnisnummer 2022-6532B geführt.Die „Hand Gottes“ ist ursprünglich 1895 von Rodin nach der rechten Hand eines Bürgers von Calais, Pierre de Wissant, in Gips modelliert worden, welche ein sich umschlingendes Paar hält. Im Jahre 1905 entsteht eine große Marmorskulptur nach dieser Gipsausformung. Von diesem ersten Marmor ließ er dann eine halbgroße Verkleinerung anfertigen, dessen Größe mit den Maßen unserer Bronze übereinstimmt. „Hand Gottes“, „Hand des Schöpfers“, sie kann vor allem symbolisch als die Hand des Bildhauers, während dieser in vollem Ruhm steht und als der größte Künstler seiner Zeit anerkannt wird, interpretiert werden. Aus verlegerischer Sicht ist die Auflage des Modells gering, denn es sind nur fünf Exemplare bekannt. Unseres ist besonders, denn nicht nur der Guss wurde von Eugène Rudier, der der bevorzugte Gießer Rodins und des Museums war, hergestellt, sondern es ist auch das Exemplar aus dessen persönlichen Sammlung. Nach 1917 war Eugène Rudier sowohl Gießer als auch Händler von Rodin, kaufte Bronzen im Hôtel Drouot, um sie weiterzuverkaufen. Er war auch ein Sammler von Bronzegüssen, die häufig von ihm selbst hergestellt wurden. Die Erfahrung zeigt, dass es sich dabei immer um sehr schöne Güsse handelt.Provenienz: Musée Rodin, Paris.Sammlung Eugène Rudier.Privatsammlung, New Jersey, USA. (1330114) (13)Auguste Rodin,1840 Paris – 1917 MeudonMain de dieu,Model ca. 1900 however before 1905, posthumous casting ca. 1943Bronze casting, with chocolate brown patina. 15.5 x 16.7 x 15.2 cm.Signed on outside “A. Rodin”, raised signature on inside “A. Rodin”, outside with foundry mark “A. Rudier fondeur Paris”.One of only two castings dating to 1943 with a total global limited edition of five.Accompanied by the expert’s report by the Comité Rodin dated 5 February 2022, in copy. The expert’s report makes it clear that the casting dates to 1943, as documents during this year testify that it took eleven hours to chisel and one hour to mount the bronze, representing a reduction of a larger marble model held at the Rodin Museum. The bronze on offer for sale in this lot is listed in the catalogue raisonné with no. 2022-6532B. The “Hand of God” was originally modelled in plaster by Rodin in 1895 after the right hand of a citizen of Calais, Pierre de Wissant, holding an entwining couple. In 1905 a large marble sculpture was created from this plaster mould. He then had a half-sized reduction made from this first marble, the size of which corresponds to the dimensions of our bronze. Hand of God or Hand of the Creator as it can be interpreted symbolically, represents above all the hand of the sculptor at the zenith of his career and recognized as the greatest artist of his time. This is an extremely small number of a limited edition with only five copies ever produced. The casting on offer for sale in this lot is exceptional because not only was the casting made by Eugène Rudier, Rodin’s and the museum’s preferred founder, but it is also a specimen from his personal collection. After 1917, Eugène Rudier was both a founder and art dealer of Rodin, buying bronzes from Hôtel Drouot for resale. He was also a collector of bronze castings, often created by himself. Experience shows that these are always very beautiful castings.Provenance: Musée Rodin, Paris. Eugène Rudier collection. Private collection, New-Jersey, USA.

Design by ANTONI GAUDÍ (Reus or Riudoms, Tarragona, 1852 - Barcelona, 1926).Calvet" armchair.Oak wood.BD edition. Production ca.1985.Wear and tear. Some damage to the wood of the seat.Model exhibited in "Objects of Desire. Surrealism and design, 1924-2020", La Caixa.Measurements: 96 x 65 x 60 cm.The "Calvet" chair is an original design by Gaudí from 1902, re-edited by BD and produced by hand, with the same original materials and all the richness of detail with which the originals were made in their day. It is a chair with curved, fluid, natural and soft lines, with a small backrest reminiscent of the central balconies on the back façade of the Casa Calvet. It is a simple, comfortable piece of furniture intended to form part of the modernist office of the house. The Casa Calvet on Carrer Casp in Barcelona was the first housing project built by the Catalan architect, which was recognised by Barcelona City Council with the prize for the best building of 1900. Two years later, in 1902, Gaudí designed the oak furniture for the offices on the ground floor. They were originally manufactured by the firm Casa y Bardés and are now kept in the Gaudí Museum in Park Güell.The greatest representative of Catalan and, therefore, Spanish modernism, Gaudí is one of the most outstanding architects and decorators in European history. He studied architecture at the Llotja School and the Barcelona School of Architecture, where he graduated in 1878. With his first major commission, the Casa Vicens, he began to make a name for himself and to attract increasingly important commissions. In 1878, he exhibited at the Universal Exhibition in Paris a display cabinet made for the Comella glove shop. This piece, which was both modernist in design and functional, impressed the industrialist Eusebi Güell, a key figure in Gaudí's artistic biography from then on. In fact, Güell was not only Gaudí's great friend, but also his main patron, and commissioned some of his most outstanding works, such as the Parc Güell. In 1883 he accepted the commission to continue the work on the Sagrada Família; Gaudí completely modified the initial project, and this building became his masterpiece, on which he worked until the day he died. This project was followed by other important commissions, such as the episcopal palace of Astorga, the Batlló and Milá houses and the restoration of the cathedral of Palma de Mallorca. In 1910 the first exhibition dedicated to Gaudí was held at the Grand Palais in Paris. After his death, important retrospectives of the architect were held, including the one at MoMA in New York, his first major international exhibition, which took place in 1957. Gaudí's designs for furniture and decorative arts can now be admired at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the MOMA in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. and the National Art Museum of Catalonia, as well as at his House-Museum in Park Güell.

CHARLES DE TEMPLE: 'ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD' RING, CIRCA 1965The bicoloured openwork ring in polished and textured finish, forming the words 'All the time in the world' to both the interior and exterior, unsigned, size I, maker's pouchFootnotes:Provenance: The present owner's father, who was a close friend of Charles de Temple, purchased the ring from him in the 1960s. It is believed to be the prototype of the famous wedding ring given by James Bond (George Lazenby) to Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo or 'Tracy' (Diana Rigg) on the occasion of their wedding in the 1969 film 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'.The phrase 'All the Time in the World' was the title of the film's theme song by Louis Armstrong, as well as being the final words of the film; 007's first and only wife is assassinated shortly after their nuptials and Bond recounts the phrase to her as she lies lifeless in his arms. The song also featured as closing credits after 007 was killed at the end of the 2021 film 'No Time to Die'. Following the release of the film, Charles de Temple garnered a great deal of success and by popular demand, a limited edition of 50 rings were produced instead reading 'All the Love in the World'.Black and white photograph: Diana Rigg & George Lazenby, 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service', 1969 © Mirrorpix/Peter StoneFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
