CATHERINE II THE GREAT: (1762-1796) Empress of Russia 1762-96, Catherine the Great. An excellent and very attractive D.S., `Ekaterina´, in Cyrillic, a bold and good signature example, one large page, oblong 15 x 21 folio, Saint Petersburg, 8th August 1769, in Cyrillic. The document bears to the front a splendid and very large paper seal with coat of Imperial arms and is signed by the `Empress and Sovereign of All Russias..´, being a title given, appointing a representative to the Pope Clemens XIV, who will carry out his duties from the Russian consulate established in the port city of Ancona on the Adriatic Sea. Countersigned at the base by Prince Alexander Golitsyn. It is likely that this appointment was postponed or canceled, the name of the diplomat having never been completed. It was probably part of a political strategy of Catherine II who, after the occupation of Poland, had waited only a spark to launch a war of expansion against Turkey, under the false pretext of providing help to Christians against the unbelievers. It will be done in September 1768, and the port of Ancona, natural gate to Turkey, will serve as a base for the Russian fleet already installed in the Mediterranean Sea. In 1771, Russia will seize Crimea and the Turks will finally sign peace in 1774. Accompanied by an official contemporary translation into Latin, attached to main document signed by Catherine II. Very small overall minor age wear. VG Prince Alexander Golitsyn (1718-1783) Russian Marshal and Diplomat. Governor of Saint Petersburg.

δ Dieter Roth (1930-1998)German Cities (Dobke 137-141)The scarce complete set of five screenprints with offset planograph in colours, 1970, each signed and dated in pencil, numbered from the edition of 100, printed by Karl Löw, and Staib & Mayer, Stuttgart, published by Edition Tangente, Heidelberg, on wove paper, the full sheets, each sheet 610 x 860mm (24 x 33 7/8 in) (unframed)Note. Roth appropriated the imagery for German Cities from black-and-white postcards featuring banal views of landmarks in four cities in Germany. Keeping them true to scale, he reproduced these photographs in an orderly five-by-five grid. Next, he obscured each source image by covering it with a nearly opaque layer of ink, solid except for a shape taken from one of the pictured city's famed landmarks, such as Berlin's Brandenburg Gate or Munich's Frauenkirche. In each grid of twenty-five images, the silhouette of the landmark is purposefully misaligned, matching up only once. From: 'Wait, Later This Will be Nothing: Editions by Dieter Roth, Museum of Modern Art, New York February 17 - June 24, 2013' δ This lot is sold subject to Artists Resale Rights, details of which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.
