Wassily Kandinsky 1866 Moskau - 1944 Neuilly-sur-Seine Boot mit Laterne (Rapallo). Wohl 1906. Öl auf Leinwand, randdoubliert. 13,4 x 33,7 cm (5,2 x 13,2 in). [EH]. • Seit Entstehung in Privatbesitz – erstmals auf dem internationalen Kunstmarkt angeboten. • Im kleinen Format zeigt 'Boot mit Laterne (Rapallo)' die Farbe als Mittelpunkt des Interesses des Künstlers. • Das Farbenspiel greift voraus auf die intensive Farbauswahl in Kandinskys früher Murnauer Zeit. PROVENIENZ: Sammlung Gabriele Münter, Murnau. Privatsammlung München. LITERATUR: Hans Konrad Roethel, Jean K. Benjamin, Kandinsky. Werkverzeichnis der Ölgemälde, Bd. 1: 1900-1915, München 1982, WVZ-Nr. 163. 'Ein Bild muss klingen und von einem inneren Glühen durchtränkt sein.' Wassily Kandinsky 'Waren auch die Gründe für Kandinskys und Münters Reisen rein persönlicher Natur und hingen nicht mit künstlerischen Intentionen zusammen, hatten sie doch wesentliche Auswirkungen auf Kandinskys Kunst. Neue Sujets fanden Eingang in sein Werk, neues Licht und neue Farben verändern seinen Stil, und neue Erlebnisse regen seine Phantasie an.' Vivian E. Barnett, in: Das bunte Leben. Wassily Kandinsky im Lenbachhaus, München 1995, S. 127. Anfang Dezember 1905 brechen Wassily Kandinsky und seine Gefährtin Gabriele Münter wieder zu einer ausgedehnten Reise auf, diesmal an die ligurische Küste. Vom 23. Dezember 1905 bis zum 30. Juni 1906 überwintern die beiden dort in Rapallo. Hier passiert Wesentliches und Wegweisendes: 'Neue Sujets fanden Eingang in sein Werk, neues Licht und neue Farben verändern seinen Stil, und neue Erlebnisse regen seine Phantasie an' (Vivian E. Barnett, in: Das bunte Leben. Wassily Kandinsky im Lenbachhaus, München 1995, S. 127). Dies lässt sich auch in unserem kleinen Gemälde feststellen. Hat er zuvor den Kontrast von schwarzem Grund und bunter Farbe mehr in einer dem Art Nouveau verhafteten Weise in seinen märchenhaften Erzählungen verwendet, so zeigt Kandinsky hier das stimmungvolle Bild eines bunt erleuchteten Bootes in der tiefschwarzen Nacht. Es bleibt ein außergewöhnliches Werk für diese Zeit, in der sonst ausschließlich Schilderungen der Landschaft und des Meeres bei Tag entstehen. Bei diesem kleinen Gemälde wählt Kandinsky nicht die impressionistische Farbpalette, sondern eine Farbauswahl, die schon auf die kräftige Palette verweist, die erst zwei Jahre später in Murnau ihren Durchbruch finden wird. Die klaren, bunten Farben verselbständigen sich zu einem leuchtenden Zentrum in der nächtlichen Ruhe. Die hier von Kandinsky erprobten künstlerischen Varianten werden später in Gemälden der Murnauer Zeit in voller Blüte aufgehen. Aufrufzeit: 07.12.2024 - ca. 15.00 h +/- 20 Min. Dieses Objekt wird regel- oder differenzbesteuert angeboten.ENGLISH VERSIONWassily Kandinsky 1866 Moskau - 1944 Neuilly-sur-Seine Boot mit Laterne (Rapallo). Wohl 1906. Oil on canvas, laid on canvas. 13.4 x 33.7 cm (5.2 x 13.2 in). [EH]. • In private ownership since it was created – for the first time offered on the international art market. • The small-sized “Boat with Lantern (Rapallo)” showcases the artist's focus on color. • The play of colors anticipates Kandinsky's intense color palette of his early Murnau period. PROVENANCE: Gabriele Münter Collection, Murnau. Private collection, Munich. LITERATURE: Hans Konrad Roethel, Jean K. Benjamin, Kandinsky. Catalogue raisonné of oil paintings, vol. 1: 1900-1915, Munich 1982, cat. rais. no. 163. 'An image must resonate and be imbued with an inner glow'. Wassily Kandinsky 'Even if the reasons for Kandinsky's and Münter's travels were purely personal and not related to their artistic objectives, they had a significant impact on Kandinsky's art. New subjects found their way into his work, new light and new colors changed his style, and new experiences stimulated his imagination.' Vivian E. Barnett, in: Das bunte Leben Wassiliy Kandinsky im Lenbachhaus, Munich 1995, p. 127. Wassily Kandinsky and his companion Gabriele Münter set out on another extended journey in early December 1905, this time to the coast of Liguria, where they spent half a year in Rapallo from December 23, 1905, to June 30, 1906. This was a seminal time for the artist: “New subjects found their way into his work, his style changed in with new colors and light, and new impressions stimulated his imagination” (Vivian E. Barnett, in: Das bunte Leben. Wassily Kandinsky im Lenbachhaus, Munich 1995, p. 127). These characteristics become evident in our small painting, too. While he had previously used the contrast between the black ground and the colorful brushwork in a manner more akin to Art Nouveau in his fairytale-like narratives, Kandinsky depicts the atmospheric image of a colorfully illuminated boat in the pitch-black night in the present work. It is an extraordinary piece for this period, as he mostly created depictions of landscapes and the sea by day. In this small painting, however, Kandinsky did not choose an impressionist palette but a range of colors that pointed the way to the bold spectrum he would first use in his breakthrough paintings from Murnau two years later. The clear, bright colors become independent, creating a glowing center in the nighttime calm. The artistic variations Kandinsky tried out here would later come to full fruition in his paintings from the Murnau period. Called up: December 7, 2024 - ca. 15.00 h +/- 20 min. This lot can be purchased subject to differential or regular taxation.

Wreckage from Zeppelin L31 Three pieces of wreckage of the German Zeppelin L31, that was brought down over Potters Bar by Second Lieutenant W. J. Tempest, Royal Flying Corps, the first Canadian to shoot down a Zeppelin from the air, on 2 October 1916, comprising fragment of the airship’s outer duralumin lattice, and two pieces of the airship’s engine (?), with R.C.M.I. accession numbers in ink to first and second, all in relic condition (lot) £300-£500 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Zeppelin L31 was an R-Class Imperial German Navy super Zeppelin commanded by Heinrich Mathy. 198m in length with a crew of 19 and a maximum speed of 64mph, it took part in several raids over London during the Great War. It was shot down over Potter’s Bar by Second Lieutenant Wulstan J. Tempest, a Canadian serving with the Royal Flying Corps, shortly after midnight on 2 October 1916 with the loss of the entire crew. Tempest’s own report is a vivid account of how the L31 met her end: ‘There was a heavy ground fog on and it was bitterly cold, otherwise the night was beautiful and starlit at the altitude at which I was flying. I was gazing over towards the NE of London, where the fog was not quite so heavy, when I noticed all the searchlights in that quarter concentrated in an enormous pyramid. Following them up to the apex, I saw a small cigar-shaped object, which I at once recognised as a Zeppelin, about 15 miles away, and heading straight for London. Previous to this I had chased many imaginary Zepps only to find they were clouds on nearing them. At first I drew near to my objective very rapidly (as I was on one side of London and it was on the other and both heading for the centre of the town): all the time I was having an extremely unpleasant time, as to get to the Zepp I had to pass through a very inferno of bursting shells from the A.A. guns below. All at once, it appeared to me that the Zeppelin must have sighted me, for she dropped all her bombs in one volley, swung around, tilted up her nose and proceeded to race away northwards climbing rapidly as she went. At the time of dropping her bombs, I judged her to be at an altitude of about 11,500 feet. I made after her at all speed at about 15,000 feet altitude, gradually overhauling her. At this time the A.A. fire was intense, and I, being about five miles behind the Zeppelin, had an extremely uncomfortable time. At this point my mechanical pressure pump went wrong, and I had to use my hand-pump to keep up the pressure in my petrol tank. This exercise at so high an altitude was very exhausting, besides occupying an arm, this giving me one hand less to operate with when I commenced to fire. As I drew up with the Zeppelin, to my relief I found that I was free from A.A. fire, for the nearest shells were bursting quite three miles away. The Zeppelin was now nearly 15,000 feet high, and mounting rapidly, I therefore decided to dive at her, for though I held a slight advantage in speed, she was climbing like a rocket and leaving me standing. I accordingly gave a tremendous pump at my petrol tank, and dived straight at her, firing a burst straight into her as I came. I let her have another burst as I passed under her and then banking my machine over, sat under her tail, and flying along underneath her, pumped lead into her for all I was worth. I could see tracer bullets flying from her in all directions, but I was too close under her for her to concentrate on me. As I was firing, I noticed her begin to go red inside like an enormous Chinese lantern and then a flame shot out of the front part of her and I realised she was on fire. She then shot up about 200 feet, paused, and came roaring down straight on to me before I had time to get out of the way. I nose-dived for all I was worth, with the Zepp tearing after me, and expected every minute to be engulfed in the flames. I put my machine into a spin and just managed to corkscrew out of the way as she shot past me, roaring like a furnace. I righted my machine and watched her hit the ground with a shower of sparks. I then proceeded to fire off dozens of green Very's lights in the exuberance of my feelings. I glanced at my watch and saw it was about ten minutes past twelve. I then commenced to feel very sick and giddy and exhausted, and had considerable difficulty in finding my way to ground through the fog and landing, in doing which I crashed and cut my head on my machine-gun.’ For his gallantry that night Tempest, the first Canadian to shoot down a Zeppelin from the air, was awarded the D.S.O. ‘in recognition of conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in connection with the destruction of an Enemy Airship’ (London Gazette 13 October 1916). Subsequently awarded the Military Cross and advanced Major, he is commemorated in the names of two streets in Potters Bar, ‘Tempest Avenue’ and ‘Wulstan Park’, close to where the L31 crashed. Sold with copied research, including numerous photographic images of the wreckage, one of which is annotated: ‘Despite the presence of the military [standing guard], many souvenir hunters managed to sneak off with fragments of the wreckage.’
