GEORG BASELITZ (B. 1938)Er ist es, ich bin es nicht 2018 signed, titled and dated 24. VIII 2018 on the reverse oil on canvas 305.2 by 170 cm. 120 3/16 by 66 15/16 in. Footnotes:ProvenanceGagosian Gallery, London Acquired directly from the above by the present owner in 2018Georg Baselitz with his inimitable style has long been recognised around the globe as one of the greatest painters of the late Twentieth Century. His works adorn the walls of many of the world's most prestigious public and private museums, such as the Tate Gallery in London, the Guggenheim in New York and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, as well as many of Germany's most prestigious art institutions. In 1980, Baselitz represented Germany at the Venice Biennale and took part at the Documenta 5, 6 and 7 in Kassel in 1972, 1977 and 1982. The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York was the first to show a comprehensive retrospective of the artist's work in 1995, an exhibition that then travelled widely and in 2007 the Royal Academy of Art in London organized a further significant retrospective. In Er ist es, ich bin es nicht from 2018, an ethereal, weightless human figure is captured mid movement on a staircase, ascending or descending the thinly outlined steps. This large-scale masterpiece focuses on the human body, the atmospheric figure rendered in shimmering golden hues is difficult to approach or perceive. There is nothing in the title to clarify the identity of the figure, but the style in which the work is rendered draws strong parallels to the artist's pivotal Avignon paintings that were featured in the 2015 Biennale di Venezia - a series of eight towering vertical canvases, each containing a single visceral figure. The series was based on Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase from 1912 – a work, generally considered to be an ending, a departure from painting, but also a new beginning and which Baselitz deems to be stolen from Picasso. Instead of following a prismatic Cubist descent, Baselitz's nude vanishes; feet floating, not fully grounded on the thinly outlined, barely corporeal steps, the head disappearing past the canvas. Throughout his career, Baselitz has incessantly revisited certain motifs and this consistent re-evaluation of subject matter forms an anchor within an oeuvre of constant experimentation.In his 'inverted' paintings, Baselitz intended first to unsettle and confound, then to open our eyes to new ways of viewing the world, to liberate the painting from the limits of immediate comparison to reality. Not simply turning them on their heads, but painting portraits and landscapes upside-down, he aimed to produce images devoid of traditional associations or implications, art which paradoxically utilises elements of the representational while enjoying the freedoms of abstraction: 'I have always seen my paintings as independent from meanings with regard to contents – and also independent from associations that could result from them. If one pursues the logical conclusion of that thought, then it follows that if one needs a tree, a person, or a cow in the picture, but without meaning, without contents, then one simply takes it and turns it upside down. Because that really separates the subject from its associations, that simply has to be believed; it defies an interpretation of the contents' (the artist in: Evelyn Weiss, 'Georg Baselitz in conversation with Evelyn Weiss' in Detlev Gretenkort Ed., Georg Baselitz: Collected Writings and Interviews, London 2010, p. 90). Born as Hans-Georg Kern in 1938 in Deutschbaselitz, the small village from which he later took his working name, Baselitz began painting at a young age. He established himself as something of a rebel during his brief period of study at the Art Academy of East Berlin in 1958, where his refusal to conform to the principles of Social Realism quickly led to his expulsion on the grounds of 'sociopolitical immaturity'. He continued his studies in West Berlin, where he was to immerse himself in the avant-garde and in 1969 he produced his first 'upside-down' painting, the style which would define his career and artistic output.Despite being a contemporary of other great German artists such as Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke and Anselm Kiefer, all part of a generation of artists grappling with Germany's recent history, Baselitz can be viewed as something of an outsider. Curator Michael Auping puts him into context as follows: 'It can be argued that of all of these artists – each of whom can be identified with a signature style of art making – Baselitz has been the most forceful and Promethean, in many senses of the term, in carving out his new space of inquiry and reordering' (Michael Auping, 'Portrait of Resistance' in Alberto Cetti Serbelloni Ed., Georg Baselitz: Paintings 1962-2001, Milan 2002, p. 6). Today he lives and works in Basel, Lake Ammersee (Bavaria), Salzburg and Imperia (Liguria, Italy).For over half a century, Georg Baselitz has challenged the very limits of color, composition and material. Most distinctive is his habit of inversion which we see to great effect in the present work. Er ist es, ich bin es nicht exemplifies Baselitz at his best, a consummate painter in complete control of his medium, constantly challenging what has come before and as so many of his best works, it tests the often-ambiguous boundaries between the figurative and the abstract. As a result, it is a work of art which pushes the limits, a work produced by an artist who is an inveterate explorer of the unknown and the new.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR TP* 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.TP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Exceptionelle, rare et belle montre de gousset à cadran ouvert en or jaune 18K (750) avec automate musical remontoir à clefAn exceptional, fine and rare 18K gold key wind open face musical automaton pocket watch Date: Circa 1810Movement: Gilt full plate verge, 3-arm brass balance, pierced and engraved balance bridge, music playing on pinned disc, numbered under dial 387Dial: Gilt with engraved scene of Father Time upon a globe, black Roman numerals to brushed surround, outer minute divisions, winding apertures near 6 and 10, polished hands Case: Polished round, classical scene to back with automaton man playing the lute whilst a lady dances back and forward and a sheep grazes up and down, the male rests against a finely engraved tree beside a dwelling, in the background an enamel pastoral scene beside the water and in front of a mountain, reeded band with button at 11 to activate automatonSize: 55mm Weight: 127,80gFootnotes:The Lute Player and The DancerThe popularity of the automaton watch during the late 18th and early 19th century coincided with the transformation of the watch from mechanical jewel into precision timekeeper. The watchmaker demanded ever more complex motion from the interaction of wheels and pinions and combined with ever more detailed enamelling and gold work, the automaton watch was born. Produced in very limited numbers, automatons are incredible pieces of art that stand as testament to the exceptional skills of the period. Automaton watches are complicated timepieces and traditionally feature at most 2 or 3 animations. On the current lot these take the form of a male playing the lute, a female dancing back and forth and a sheep grazing up and down. This is a busy scene with the automaton figures interspersed between a rustic dwelling and woodland beside a stream that leads to a hall. The lute player is a character seen on other automatons from this period but it is exceptionally rare to come across a musician accompanied by both a dancer and actual music. The combination of the three makes this a truly stunning piece of art. The addition of the grazing sheep minding its own business is then a lovely piece of gentle humour to this romanticised bucolic scene. Although not signed, this musical automaton timepiece is certainly in the style of celebrated makers such as Isaac Daniel Piguet or Henry Capt. It is not unusual for such complicated automatons to be not signed and Henry Capt in particular left most of his work unsigned with a limited number of pieces bearing his scratched name on the movements.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Bauquier, Fernand Léger, catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre peint, 1952-1953, Paris, 2013, no. 1492 (the painted version illustrated p. 57).Executed on a monumental scale, Composition abstraite is one of the most iconic tapestries Fernand Léger ever created. The design for this work was based on a study for Projet pour une peinture murale which Léger created in 1953. The tapestries, however, were executed by the Atelier Tabard Frères et Soeurs in Aubusson in 1961 and 1962, after the artist's death in 1955. Although six examples were scheduled for the edition, only four were realised. The present work was acquired in the year of execution by Nancy Oakes, daughter of Canadian gold mining tycoon Sir Harry Oakes. Her family name and relationship with British Hollywood actor Richard Greene made her a popular public figure and her glamorous appearance was featured in numerous media outlets across the globe throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Oakes was very much a cosmopolitan socialite, and her eventful life led her to numerous countries, before she ultimately settled between London and The Bahamas. Composition abstraite remained in her personal collection until her death in 2005, whereafter it was bequeathed to the present owner. Another version of Composition abstraite was commissioned by the artist's wife together with George Bauquier, the initiator of the Musée national Fernand Léger, in Biot, where it is currently housed.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: AR W TPAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.W Lot is located in the Bonhams Warehouse and will only be available for collection from this location.TP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
