FRITSCH, KATHARINA1956 EssenTitel: Pudel. Datierung: 1995. Technik: Gips und schwarzes Pigment. Maße: 42 x 15 x 42cm. Bezeichnung: Nummeriert, signiert und datiert unter der Pfote: 27/64 K. Fritsch 95. Exemplar: 27/64. Sockel/Rahmen: Plexiglashaube. Provenienz:- Privatsammlung NiederlandeKatharina Fritsch fertigt Skulpturen, die alltägliche Objekte nachbilden. Indem sie die Größe und Farbe dieser Objekte manipuliert und sie in unerwarteten Kombinationen arrangiert, destabilisiert sie das Vertraute, so auch in der Darstellung des schwarzen Pudels. Fritschs akribischer Herstellungsprozess, der nahezu industrielle Perfektion erreicht, umfasst Skizzen, handgefertigte Modelle, Gipsabgüsse, Bronze-, Kupfer- oder Edelstahlabgüsse und schließlich eine Beschichtung mit stark gesättigter matter Farbe, die den für sie typischen jenseitigen Effekt erzeugt. Ihre Arbeiten sind zutiefst psychologisch und voller beunruhigender religiöser und spiritueller Assoziationen. Sie werden als Versuch beschrieben, unsere größten Ängste zu visualisieren, die in Mythologie, Religion, Kulturgeschichte und Alltag verwurzelt sind. Dabei sieht sie sich selbst als Medium einer Vision, als Mittlerin einer höheren Eingebung. Die 1956 in Essen geborene Künstlerin studierte zwischen 1977 und 1984 an der Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf bei Fritz Schwegler und lehrt seit 2001 als Professorin für Bildhauerei, erst an der Kunstakademie Münster, seit 2010 an der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.

I attacked it from the rear, getting in a good burst from the front gun. The E.A. did not make any attempt to manoeuvre, and soon went into a steep dive, eventually going down in 'falling-leaf' fashion…..I fired 70 rounds into this E.A. after which I left it and attacked another'. Signed by Park at the foot confirming one decisive victory.

10th-early 11th century A.D. An iron double-edged cutting sword of Petersen Type S variant, the well-defined cutting edges showing strong traces of employment on a battlefield, shallow tapering fullers and a hefty tang; both boat-shaped guards decorated with the remains of Jellinge Style interlaced silver inlay, three-lobed pommel with similar decoration, the lobes separated by inlaid silver segments. See Petersen, J., De Norske Vikingsverd, Oslo, 1919; Oakeshott, R.E., The Archaeology of the weapons, London, 1960; Peirce, I., Swords of the Viking Age, Suffolk, 2002; Marek, L., Early Medieval Swords from Central and Eastern Europe: Dilemmas of an Archaeologist and a Student of Arms, Wroc?aw, 2005; Hjardar, K. & Vike, V., Vikings at war, Oxford-Philadelphia, 2016, p.169, for the type; the sword finds good parallels in various similar Viking age specimens, like the sword from Mixnam’s pit, Chertsey, today at the Chertsey Museum (Peirce, 2002, pp.98ff.). 1.5 kg, 91 cm long (35 7/8 in.). Acquired 1960s-1990s. Late Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister. Accompanied by an academic report by military specialist Dr Raffaele D’Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no.114438-195542. It is believed that the Type S swords were developed in the 10th century from the older Type D swords. The Type S was often characterised by splendid decoration achieved with silver and copper inlays. Usually the decoration was realised using silver wire, which was wound around copper wire and then hammered into the base metal which had been prepared by scoring the surface to secure the overlay. The design was then bordered by fine copper wires. A similar sword was found in the famous grave of the Gjermundbu Chieftain (Hjardar & Vike, 2016, p.169).
14th-15th century A.D. A gold posy ring composed of a D-section band, the external face decorated with spiralling double-beaded rose gold bands alternating with recessed pale gold bands; the interior bearing an Anglo-French inscription in Lombardic script: '+DE LVI:PENSEZ.PAR.KI SVI:SI:' for 'Think of Him by whom I am here', with traces of black niello inlay. Cf. The British Museum, museum number 1967,1208.1, for the comparable Fishpool ring dated 1400-1464 A.D.; cf. The V&A Museum, accession number 889-1871 and M.184-1975, for two different styles of medieval ring dated 1200-1300, also bearing this and similar inscriptions. See British Museum Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS), reference no. HAMP-14F3E5 and Treasure Act, reference 2021 T260 (this ring). 3.16 grams, 21.56 mm overall, 18.41 mm internal diameter (approximate size British P, USA 7 1/2, Europe 16.23, Japan 15) (3/4 in.). Found whilst searching with a metal detector on Monday 19th April 2021 on land belonging to Breamore House, Breamore, New Forest, Hampshire, UK. Accompanied by a copy of the British Museum's Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) report number HAMP-14F3E5. Accompanied by a copy of the Treasure Report number 2021 T260 for H M Coroner, and a copy of the letter from the British Museum disclaiming the Crown's interest in the find. Accompanied by a typed detailed account from the finder explaining the circumstances of discovery. Accompanied by a copy of a reference page from the Victoria & Albert Museum where it states: 'until around 1350 the style of lettering took the form of the rounded capitals, known as Lombardic script, and from that date until after 1500 lettering was in the spiky script known as Gothic'. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no.114448-193623. Late medieval posy rings were gifted by men and women as expressions of love, as wedding rings, and as a show of friendship, the interior inscription hidden to everyone besides the giver and wearer. The posy engraved on the interior of the hoop here is intended to evoke fond thoughts of the giver when gazed upon by the wearer, often with an inscription in French, the language of courtly love, and spoken widely by the elite in medieval Europe. The accompanying PAS report states: 'The inscription has been confirmed and translated by Dr Malcolm Jones, formerly of Sheffield University. He comments this is a 'relatively common Anglo-French amatory inscription. The spelling with initial K is a characteristically English as opposed to (Continental) French spelling.' Dr Jones notes this phrase is usually written as a rhyming couplet.Posy rings are typically a plain gold so the use of two golds in this decorative form is of note. A similar form of spiral bands of plain and beaded decoration is found on a ring from the Fishpool Hoard, Nottinghamshire, now in the British Museum collection and dated to 1400-1464.However, the Fishpool example is plain gold and formed from single decorative strands rather than the double beading found on this Hampshire example. The two incised lines on the exterior (of the ring on sale) may represent a casting error rather than damage, as they overlie a small incomplete area in the beaded band.'

18th century A.D. A plain gold finger ring inscribed to the inner face '[*] Pacienc is My Penance' for 'Patience is my penance' in a florid italic script. 4.26 grams, 19.11 mm overall, 16.14 mm internal diameter (approximate size British K 1/2, USA 5 1/2, Europe 10.58, Japan 10) (3/4 in.).

Property of a London lady, part of her family's collection. Accompanied by an academic report by Dr Raffaele D’Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no. 11543-196361. This splendid specimen was probably originally housed in an aristocratic Russian home. The icon of the Virgin Mother of Vladimir with the infant Jesus (the original preserved in the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow), probably the most famous icon of all of Russia, was thought to have been created in Constantinople in the early part of 1100s. This image is sometimes referred to as the ‘tenderness icon’, with artists attempting to show the close relationship of mother and son with their cheeks touching as they embrace.’ [A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions Website.]

Private U.K. family collection formed in the early 1970s. The property of Mr and Mrs P. R. of East Sussex. Thence by descent to family members.

3rd-5th century A.D. A bichrome ceramic stirrup vessel, the body formed as a mountainous backdrop to the cacti painted on the front and rear faces; tiers of three and four bulbous protrusions likely representing snails which featured on a number of vessels and Moche murals.

Shelton, K.J., The Esquiline Treasure, London, 1981, pl.34; Riha, E. & Stern, W.B., Die Römischen Löffel aus Augst und Kaiseraugst, Basel, 1982, items 218-221, for type; Johns, K. and Potter, T., The Thetford Treasure, Roman jewellery and silver, Dorchester, 1983, items 50-82, for type; Gabra, G., Coptic Monasteries, Egypt’s Monastic Art and Architecture, Cairo-New York, 2002; Spier, J., Treasures of the Ferrell Collection, Wiesbaden, 2010, p.278, items 218-222, for type; Humer, F., Kremer, G., Pollhammer, E., Pülz, A., AD 313 Von Carnuntum zum Christentum, Bad Voslau, 2014, nos.338-339, for similar specimens. 70 grams, 25 cm long (9 3/4 in.). Ex Gorny & Mosch, 14 December 2010, lot 483 (part). Property of a European lady. Accompanied by copies of the relevant Gorny & Mosch catalogue pages. Accompanied by an academic report by Dr Raffaele D’Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no.114497-195523. A relatively large number of spoons of similar type in silver, have been discovered in treasures dating from the late 4th and early 5th centuries, and in graves of undocumented context. One very rich hoard of these objects was the Thetford treasure, where spoons with zoomorphic offsets were found (Johns and Potter, 1983, pp.38ff. and 121ff.). Many spoons were also included in the mid-4th century Kaiseraugst treasure, from Switzerland, and in Esquiline Treasure from Rome (Shelton, 1981, pl.34). These cochlearia were initially used both in Pagan (sanctuary of Faunus, see Johns and Potter, 1983, p.73) and Christian cults in the late Roman Empire. However, in this particular specimen, the inscription makes it clear that it was used in the Holy Communion.
