1965 Aston Martin DB5 4.2-Litre Sports SaloonRegistration no. GPA 655CChassis no. DB5/1845/R•Matching numbers•Only four owners from new•Professionally restored from 'barn find' condition 2014-2018•Concours condition•The most famous of all 'James Bond' Aston MartinsFootnotes:'Racing has played a major part in the development of all Aston Martin engines since Frank Halford designed the original 1.5-litre unit for Bamford & Martin. The 3,995cc 6-cylinder light alloy engine fitted to the DB5 is in all major respects the same as that which powered the 4-litre prototype which ran in the 1962 and 1963 Le Mans 24-Hour races.' – Autocar, 21st May 1965.Aston Martin's post-war evolution had taken a giant step forward in 1958 with the launch of the DB4. Classically proportioned, the Touring-designed body established an instantly recognisable look that would stand the marque in good stead until 1970 and is still being referenced in today's Aston Martins. At its launch in October 1958, the DB4 marked a major turning point for Aston Martin as it was the first car of the David Brown era which neither used a chassis derived from the experimental Atom of 1939 nor an engine co-designed by W O Bentley. Moreover, it was the first Aston Martin to carry Carrozzeria Touring's 'Superleggera' bodywork, in which light alloy panels were fixed to a supporting framework of light-gauge steel tubes. Although styled by Touring, the DB4's gorgeous fastback coachwork was built under license at Newport Pagnell by Aston Martin, which employed some of the finest panel beaters in the industry. The result was a car whose sleek lines were described as 'unmistakably Italian and yet... equally unmistakably Aston Martin'. When the DB4 was introduced, it was Britain's most powerful and fastest production car, and its aerodynamically styled, all-aluminium, Superleggera coachwork looked sensational, establishing a look that would endure for the next dozen years. Touring's Superleggera body construction had been deemed incompatible with the DB2/4-type multi-tubular spaceframe, so engineer Harold Beach drew up an immensely strong platform type chassis for the DB4. The DB2/4's trailing-link independent front suspension gave way to unequal-length wishbones while at the rear the DB4 sported a live axle located by a Watts linkage instead of its predecessor's Panhard rod. The Aston Martin DB4 was also the first of the DB models to employ the entirely new engine designed by Tadek Marek, which had first been seen at Le Mans the previous year in the DBR2. A Polish engineer who had joined the company in 1954, Marek had previously enjoyed a racing career and posts with General Motors and FIAT in Poland. He had designed tanks during WW2 and had arrived at Newport Pagnell from Austin. An all-alloy, twin-overhead-camshaft six like its predecessor, Marek's new 3,670cc engine featured 'square' bore and stroke dimensions of 92mm and developed its maximum power of 240bhp at 5,500rpm. The David Brown gearbox was a new four-speed all-synchromesh unit.Five (unofficially designated) series were built as the model gradually metamorphosed into the DB5. Introduced in July 1963, the Aston Martin DB5 boasted a 4.0-litre engine, this enlarged unit having been seen first in the Lagonda Rapide of 1961. Equipped with three SU carburettors, the '400' engine produced 282bhp at 5,500rpm and was mated to a four-speed/overdrive gearbox, a 'proper' ZF five-speed unit being standardised later. The DB5's distinctive cowled headlamps had first appeared on the DB4GT and the newcomer was the same size as the lengthened, 'Series V' DB4. Outwardly there was little to distinguish the DB5 from the last of the DB4s apart from twin fuel filler caps, though these had already appeared on some cars. Beneath the skin, however, there were numerous improvements including alternator electrics; Girling disc brakes instead of Dunlops; Sundym glass; electric windows; and an oil pressure gauge as standard equipment. From September 1964 the 314bhp, triple-Weber Vantage engine became available and was fitted to a total of 95 cars. The DB5 was also offered in convertible form (the 'Volante' name would not be applied to the soft-top Aston until the DB6's arrival), while independent coachbuilder Harold Radford offered a shooting brake conversion. 1,021 DB5s were manufactured between July 1963 and September 1965, a total that included 123 convertibles and 12 shooting brakes. The DB5 was the first and remains the most famous of all the 'James Bond' Aston Martins, having appeared in no fewer than five movies of the series beginning with Goldfinger in 1964. Equipped with rocket launchers and sundry other gadgets, 007's DB5 was finished in Silver Birch with red interior, in which specification it was later issued by Corgi Toys. This matching-numbers DB5 has had only four owners from new. The Aston spent 32 years off the road before being rescued as a 'barn find' some seven years ago. It was then treated to a body-off, chassis-upwards, full restoration by renowned marque specialist Rikki Cann, which took four years to complete and included rebuilding the engine to 4.2 litres capacity. The restoration cost almost £400,000 and is fully documented by invoices and photographs. Finished in its original exterior colour of Dubonnet Rosso, with Magnolia hide trim, and described by the private vendor as in concours condition throughout, 'GPA 655C' represents a wonderful opportunity to own what for many enthusiasts is the ultimate Aston Martin.

One owner from new2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG CoupéRegistration no. Not RegisteredChassis no. WMX1973771A002681Offered without reserve•Built to Swiss market specification•Circa 50 km on the odometer •Automatic transmission•Well specifiedFootnotes:'For anyone wishing to give their Mercedes that extra personal touch, Mercedes-AMG GmbH has just the answers. The Daimler-Chrysler subsidiary offers the combined experience of Mercedes-Benz and AMG in the field of high-quality enhancements for Mercedes-Benz passenger cars and puts the emphasis firmly on individuality when creating the customer's dream Mercedes.' - Mercedes-AMG GmbH.AMG, which is now the official performance division of Mercedes-Benz, has a long history of producing high-performance derivatives of Mercedes' standard production vehicles, and these improved versions enjoy an enthusiastic following world-wide, with prominent figures of the motorsports, entertainment, sport, and business communities being counted among aficionados. With the introduction of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in 2010, the Affalterbach-based firm took a significant step forward. First seen at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show and acknowledged as a tribute to the legendary 300 SL 'Gullwing' coupé of the 1950s – arguably the world's first supercar – the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG was notable as the first car to be designed in-house by AMG. A collectors' item from the day it was announced, the newcomer featured 'Gullwing' doors like its illustrious predecessor and succeeded the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren at the top of the German manufacturer's range. Styled by Mercedes-Benz's Mark Fetherston, the SLS AMG received numerous prestigious design awards, and is the only automobile ever to have won the (gold) Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany. An open roadster version was introduced for 2011.Boasting a chassis/body of mainly aluminium construction, the SLS (Sport Licht Super) was powered by a 6.2-litre V8 engine producing 563bhp initially (572bhp in the car offered here) - the most powerful normally aspirated production car engine of its day - while the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission was similarly state-of-the-art. A rear wing, extendable at high speeds, kept the SLS stable at its near-200mph maximum, while its low weight (3,573lbs) helped the car lap the Mercedes-Benz test track quicker than its SLR McLaren predecessor. Not surprisingly, given its pedigree, the SLS AMG proved very popular with racing drivers, Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton among them, while the list of celebrity owners includes Eddie Murphy, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Pacino, Roger Federer, Sylvester Stallone, and Tom Hanks. Several limited edition versions were introduced, including a GT3 racer, leading up to the SLS AMG GT Final Edition of 2014. Mercedes-AMG CEO Tobias Moers has said that there are no plans for a successor, so for the time being the SLS AMG remains the ultimate expression of the noble 'Gullwing' tradition.A 2011 model built to Swiss market specification, this left-hand drive example was ordered new by the current vendor in 2010 and has covered only a relative handful of kilometres since delivery. Highlights of its mouth-watering specification include the following:Seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmissionReversing cameraGarage door openerLED daytime driving lightsAuto dimming interior and driver's side mirrorsMemory kit (seats, steering column, mirrors)AMG performance steering wheelTyre pressure controlElectrical folding exterior mirrorsAnti-theft warning deviceAutomatic climate controlCOMAND APS with DVD changerMedia interface (UCI)Headlamp cleaning systemBang & Olufsen Beo SoundInterior monitoring systemBi-xenon headlampsEmission control system with EU5 technologyFinished in Alubeam Silver (Metallic) with Designo Exclusive natural leather/light brown woven leather interior, this collectible modern Mercedes is offered with a copy of the sales receipt listing its specification in full.

c.2001 Ducati 748 R Series 2Registration no. Not UK RegisteredChassis no. ZDMH300AA1B008413•Sold new in Italy•Only 200 kilometres recorded•Offered from a respected UK Ducati collection•Requires re-commissioningFootnotes:Introduced in 2000, replacing the 748 SPS, the 748 R was built in order to homologate parts which Ducati required for their World Supersport Championship contender. The frame was borrowed from Ducati's 996 World Superbike racer, permitting the use of a much larger (14-litre) airbox and throttle body with a single shower-type fuel injector. Cams, valves, con-rods, etc were all up-rated and the 996-based engine produced a remarkable 106bhp at 11,000rpm from its 748cc. Other notable features included a slipper clutch, different chassis settings and lightweight Marchesini wheels. For 2001, a second series was introduced, with Öhlins forks and rear shock absorber replacing the previous Showa items. The frame was lightened and at the same time stiffened by using a carbon fibre airbox. There were also detailed improvements to the engine.This machine is one of the desirable 2nd Series, which we understand was limited to circa 1,500 units, this one being number '475'. Released from a respected UK Ducati collection, it is effectively new, having covered only 200 kilometres since it left the Bologna factory. As the machine is virtually unused, it should require light re-commissioning before use. This rare and desirable modern Ducati is offered with its original Italian registration papers; original owner's manual and service book; UK Nova declaration; and two keys.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SprintRegistration no. 330 XVNChassis no. 149309141Offered without reserve•Original European left-hand drive example•Finished in Bianco Nube with a blue vinyl/light grey cloth interior •One owner from 1966 to 2012, an incredible time warp•Formed part of world-class collections•Wonderful history fileFootnotes:Following the ravages of war Alfa Romeo regrouped, equipping their rebuilt factories with the latest machinery to enable them once again to become a major manufacturer on the world stage. An all-new business plan was devised to gear up production and the 1,290cc Giulietta emerged to fulfil those ambitions. In best Alfa Romeo tradition, a twin-overhead camshaft engine was to power the new model, the smallest engine size ever offered by the company but yet, in standard form, developing a more than healthy 80bhp. The unit installed is a correct specification replacement and an early variant with gear driven fuel-pump. Although offered as a four-door saloon it was the sporting Bertone-styled Giulietta Sprint which captured the Italian sporting motorists' heart with its neat and functional styling turning heads from absolutely every angle. A mildly developed Veloce engine was offered as an option giving 90bhp and providing a top speed in excess of 100mph. Handling was enhanced by independent front suspension with coil springs and wishbones with coil spring, radius arms, and A-bracket at the rear. The model ceased production in 1965 following an eleven-year run. This delightful Giulietta Sprint 750B dates from 1959 and was built in left-hand drive for the German market. Later that year, it was sold by Auto Freidrich in Frankfurt to its first owner. The early ownership details are unknown but on 1st July 1966, it was acquired by Douglas Foon Gee of Bellevue, Washington State, who evidently loved the little Alfa as he was to own it until August 22nd, 2012, a total of 46 years. It is believed the original engine suffered from frost damage whilst in his ownership. In 2017 it was sold to Axel Schuette and subsequently joined a significant private collection in Germany. The condition genuinely needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. This beautiful Alfa has been cherished and has retained such a remarkable quality throughout. The odometer readying of circa 59,000 km (circa 37,000 miles) is thought to be original. In October this year it was sent to respected Alfa specialist Chris Robinson who carried out a extensive service, including work to brakes, steering, suspension, fuel pump etc. During this work the sump was removed to assess the internal condition of the engine. He found evidence of a recent rebuild. Invoices for the Robinson work are on file totalling £1,460.It is supplied with its original Alfa pouch containing the Certificato di Origine, Owner's Manual (in German), a number of US Certificates of Title, the spare keys and the original jack.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Radierungen. Skulpturen.", Galerie am Rathaus in Bottrop, 18.11. - 16.12.1989Provenienz: Kunsthandel Wissing, Bottrop, Privatsammlung"Mein ganzer Ehrgeiz auf dem Gebiet der Malerei besteht darin, die Vorstellungsbilder der konkreten Irrationalität mit der herrschsüchtigsten Genauigkeit sinnfällig zu machen." (Salvador Dalí)Der Maler, Bildhauer, Grafiker, Schriftsteller und Bühnenbildner, Salvador Dalí, wurde am 11. Mai 1904 als Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech in Figueres, Katalonien geboren. Der exzentrische Maler gilt als ein Hauptvertreter des Surrealismus und einer der bedeutendsten Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts.1922 begann Dalí ein Studium an der Akademie von San Fernando in Madrid. Auf Grund ungebührlichen Betragens wurde er auf königlichen Erlass verwiesen. 1927 lernte Dalí während einer Parisreise Pablo Picasso kennen und trat 1929 der Gruppe der Surrealisten bei. In Paris macht er Bekanntschaft mit dem Dichter Éluard und dessen Frau Gala, welche fortan seine Lebensgefährtin, größte Inspiration und Muse wird. Im umfangreichen Oeuvre Dalís finden sich immer wiederkehrende Elemente wie das Unterbewusste, Verschlüsselte und Mystische wieder. Dalí konnte sowohl im europäischen Ausland, als auch in den USA Erfolge feiern. So war er unter anderem 1978, 1984 und 2015 auf der Biennale von Venedig und 2012 auf der documenta in Kassel vertreten.Inspiriert durch Giovanni Lorenzo Berninis Elefanten mit Obelisken auf dem Rücken in Rom, finden sich in Dalís gemaltem Oeuvre mehrfach Elefanten mit Obelisken. Gestaltet nach seiner surrealistischen paranoisch-kritischen Methode zeichnen sie sich durch extrem verlängerte, grazile Beine aus, die die übliche Vorstellung des schweren behäbigen Tiers ad absurdum führen. Die Bronzearbeit stellt die erste plastische Ausformung dieses Gedankens dar, der Dali über einen langen Zeitraum beschäftigte. Ein augenloser Zirkus-Elefant mit skelettartigen Beinen balanciert mit einem schimmernden Obelisken auf dem Rücken. Von der Art, in der das schwere Tier sich auf seinen dürren Beinen hervortastet, bis zu der Brechung des Lichts in der kristallenen Struktur der Pyramide, wirkt alles an der Figur prekär und verletzlich, gefangen in einem Zustand zwischen schweben und fallen. Dalís Werke spielen immer wieder mit abstrus erscheinenden Gegensätzen und Kontrasten, um das Gefühl einer traum-ähnlichen Irrealität zu erzeugen. Salvador Dalí (1904 Figueres/Spain - 1989 ibid)'Elephant de l'espace', 1980, bronze, dark brown patina, acrylic obelisk on brass stand, marble plinth, H with obelisk 90 cm x 22 cm x 43.5 cm, signed, foundry stamp of Venturi Arte, editior's stamp of Camblest Ltd. (dated 1981), numbered 116/350, with certificate of authenticity, tip of the obelisk broken and reattached, the left tusk with some remnants of glue, includes: Exhibition poster 'Salvador Dalí - Lithografien.

(Salvador Dalí)Painter, sculptor, graphic artist, writer and stage designer, Salvador Dalí was born Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech on 11th May 1904 in Figueres, Catalonia. The eccentric painter is considered a main representative of Surrealism and one of the most important artists of the 20th century.In 1922 Dalí began studying at the Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. However, he was later expelled by royal decree due to improper behaviour. In 1927, Dalí met Pablo Picasso during a trip to Paris and joined the Surrealist group in 1929. In Paris he made the acquaintance of the poet Éluard and his wife Gala, who from then on became his companion, greatest inspiration and muse. In Dalí's extensive oeuvre, recurring elements such as the subconscious, the coded and the mystical can be found. Dalí became successful in both Europe and the USA. Among many other exhibitions, he was represented at the Venice Biennale in 1978, 1984 and 2015 and at the documenta in Kassel in 2012.Inspired by Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini's elephants with obelisks on their backs in Rome, Dalí included several such elephants in his painted works. Designed according to his surrealist paranoiac-critical method, they are characterized by extremely elongated, graceful legs, which reduce the idea of the heavy, ponderous animal to absurdity. The bronze work represents the first sculptural expression of this idea, which preoccupied Dali over a long period of time. The eyeless circus elephant with skeletal legs balances with a shimmering obelisk on its back. From the way in which the heavy animal struggles to rise on its scrawny legs to the refraction of light in the pyramid's crystalline structure, everything about the figure seems precarious and vulnerable, caught in a state between floating and falling. Dalí's works repeatedly play with seemingly abstruse concepts and contrasts to create a sense of dream-like unreality.
Günther Uecker (1930 Wendorf) (F)Nagelkomposition, Prägedruck auf Bütten, 60 cm x 49,5 cm Blattmaß, signiert, 74 datiert, 50/100 nummeriert, partiell knickfaltigProvenienz: Privatsammlung HannoverGünther Uecker wurde am 13. März 1930 in Wendorf bei Crivitz geboren und ist mit seinen reliefartigen Nagelbildern einer der bekanntesten deutschen Maler und Objektkünstler. Nach seiner Lehre als Anstreicher und Schreiner studierte er von 1949 bis 1953 Malerei in Wismar und an der Kunstakademie in Berlin-Weißensee. Bei seinem ersten Besuch in Westberlin 1951 kam Uecker erstmalig mit abstrakter Kunst in Kontakt. Zwei Jahre später verließ Uecker Ost-Berlin und ging nach Westdeutschland um bei seinem Vorbild Otto Pankok an der Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf zu studieren. Bereits in den 1950er Jahren entdeckte Uecker den Nagel als das zentrale Medium seiner Kunst für sich. Durch die Ausrichtung und Positionierung der Nägel gelang es ihm einen dreidimensionalen und reliefartigen Eindruck zu kreieren und ein subtiles Licht-und-Schatten-Spiel zu erzeugen, das dem Raum eine neue Dynamik verleiht. 1961 schloss sich Uecker der Künstlergruppe "ZERO" an, die von Otto Piene und Heinz Mack gegründet wurde und avancierte zu einem der wichtigsten Impulsgeber der deutschen Nachkriegskunst. Von den noch lebenden ZERO-Künstlern ist Uecker der teuerste. Bereits in den 1960er Jahren durfte er seine Arbeiten auf der documenta (1964, 1968 und 1977) sowie auf der Biennale in Venedig 1970 präsentieren. Von 1976 bis 1995 lehrte er als Professor an der Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. Im Jahr 2008 war er Mitbegründer der "Zero foundation" ebenfalls in Düsseldorf.

His relief-like nail pictures made him one of the best known German contemporary artists. After his apprenticeship as a painter and carpenter, he studied art in Wismar and at the academy in Berlin-Weißensee from 1949 to 1953. Uecker first came into contact with abstract painting during his first visit to West Berlin in 1951. Two years later, Uecker left East Berlin and went to West Germany to study with his role model Otto Pankok at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf. As early as the 1950s, Uecker discovered the nail as the central medium of his art. By aligning and positioning the nails, he was able to create a three-dimensional and relief-like impression and a subtle play of light and shadow that lent a new dynamic to his works. In 1961, Uecker joined the artists' group ''ZERO,'' founded by Otto Piene and Heinz Mack, and advanced to become one of the most important instigators of post-war German art. Of the ZERO artists still alive, Uecker is the most expensive. He was already exhibiting his works at the documenta by the 1960s (1964, 1968 and 1977) and at the Venice Biennale in 1970. From 1976 to 1995 he taught as a professor at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. In 2008 he co-founded the ''Zero foundation'', also in Düsseldorf.
Pavlos Dionyssopoulos('Pavlos') (1930 Filitra, Griechenland - 2019 Paris)Bar mit 2 Etagen, Mischtechnik mit Buntstift und Collage auf Karton, 99,5 cm x 69,5 cm Blattmaß, signiert, 75 datiert, partiell Stecknadellöcher, kleine Druckstelle am oberen RandProvenienz: Privatsammlung HannoverNach dem Studium an der Kunstakademie in Athen ging Pavlos 1954 mit einem Stipendium des französischen Staats nach Paris, wo er sich 1958 dauerhaft niederließ und seine neue künstlerische Heimat fand. Um 1960 wandte er sich unter dem Eindruck der Nouveaux Réalistes von der Malerei ab und der Assemblage und Collage zu. Seit 1963 stellte er auf den Jahresausstellungen des Salon des Nouvelles Réalités aus, dem wichtigsten Forum für zeitgenössische Kunst in Frankreich seit 1946. Eine große Gruppe in Pavlos' Werk ist in einer Kombinationstechnik aus Zeichnung und Malerei sowie Formen und Streifen aus zurechtgeschnittenem, sekundär verwendetem Papiermaterial gefertigt. Die Flaschen des oberen Regalfachs sind in diesem Fall zur Hälfte aus weißen Papierformen aufgeklebt, während die andere Hälfte als gezeichnete Kontur erscheint. Die unteren Flaschen sind aus je zwei Papierformen zusammengesetzt, welche zum Teil farbige Rasteroffsetpunkte aus dem Plakatdruck erkennen lassen. Mit blauem und weißem Farbstift sind Hintergrund und Konturen auf hellbraunem Leichtkarton ausgeführt. Pavlos Dionyssopoulos ('Pavlos') (1930 Filitra, Greece - 2019)Bar with two levels, mixed media with pencil and collage on card, 99.5 cm x 69.5 cm, signed, dated 75, with some pin holes, a minor compression in the upper marginProvenance: Private collection, HanoverAfter studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Athens, Pavlos went to Paris in 1954 on a scholarship from the French state, where he settled permanently in 1958 and found his new artistic home. Around 1960, under the influence of the Nouveaux Réalistes, he turned away from painting to assemblage and collage. From 1963 he exhibited at the annual exhibitions of the Salon des Nouvelles Réalités, the most important forum for contemporary art in France since 1946. A large group in Pavlos' work is made in a combination technique of drawing and painting, as well as shapes and strips of paper cut to size. In this case, half of the bottles on the upper shelf are glued on from white paper, while the other half appears as a drawn outline. The lower bottles are each composed from two paper shapes, some of which reveal coloured half-tone offset dots from poster printing. Background and contours are executed with blue and white coloured pencil on light brown cardboard.
Ernst Mollenhauer (1892 Tapiau/Ostpreußen - 1963 Düsseldorf)Abendsonne auf Sylt, Öl auf Papier auf Platte aufgezogen, 48 cm x 62 cm, signiert, 60 datiert, partiell Farbverluste, minimale Kratzer, partiell kugelförmige Durchdrücke im oberen BereichErnst Mollenhauer wurde am 27. August 1892 in Tapiau geboren. Durch Lovis Corinth, ebenfalls aus Tapiau stammend und ein Freund seines Vaters, erfuhr er früh Förderung und durfte so ab 1913 an der Kunstakademie Königsberg u.a. bei Richard Pfeiffer studieren. Im Ersten Weltkrieg war Mollenhauer Soldat in Polen, Italien, Russland und Frankreich. Unmittelbar nach Ende des Krieges nahm er sein Studium wieder auf, beteiligte sich an der Gründung der Künstlervereinigung "Der Ring" und war ab 1920 Meisterschüler bei Arthur Degner. Nach einem Malereistudium an der Königsberger Akademie zog es Mollenhauer in den berühmten Künstlerort Nidden an der Ostsee, wo er expressionistischen Malern wie Pechstein begegnete. Bedingt durch die Kriegswirren, leidvoller Verfemungen und den Verlust eines großen Teils seiner Werke zog es Mollenhauer schließlich in den Westen. 1950 besaß er wieder ein eigenes Atelier im Düsseldorfer Künstlerhaus und richtete sich auf Sylt ein weiteres Atelier ein, das ihn an seine verlorene Heimat an der Danziger Bucht und seine frühen künstlerischen Jahre in Nidden erinnerte. Mit nur wenigen wohlgesetzten Pinselstichen im kräftigen Malduktus gelang es Mollenhauer den wesentlichen Charakter der nordfriesischen Küstenlandschaft zu erfassen und ihnen eine ausdrucksstarke Dramatik zu verliehen. In vielen dieser Bilder sind es die Sonnenuntergänge, die die Lichtstimmung und die lichtdurchtränkte Farbigkeit der Natur beherrschen. Ernst Mollenhauer (1892 Tapiau/East Prussia - 1963 Düsseldorf)Evening light on Sylt, oil on canvas laid down on board, 48 cm x 62 cm, signed, dated 60, some losses of pigment, minor scratches, several round dents in the upper sectionErnst Mollenhauer was born in Tapiau on August 27th 1892. Through Lovis Corinth, who was also from Tapiau and a friend of his father, he experienced early support and was allowed to study at the Königsberg Academy of Art in 1913. His fellow students included Richard Pfeiffer, among others. During the First World War, Mollenhauer fought in Poland, Italy, Russia and France. Immediately after the end of the war he resumed his studies, participated in the founding of the artists' association ''Der Ring'' and was a master pupil of Arthur Degner as of 1920. After studying painting at the Königsberg Academy, Mollenhauer moved to the famous artists' village of Nidden on the Baltic Sea, where he met Expressionist painters such as Pechstein. Due to the turmoil of war, painful ostracism and the loss of a large part of his works, Mollenhauer finally moved to the West. By 1950 he had his own studio again in the Düsseldorf Künstlerhaus and set up another studio on Sylt, which reminded him of his lost home on the Bay of Danzig and his early artistic years in Nidden. Using sparse, well-placed brushstrokes in a vigorous style, Mollenhauer succeeded in capturing the character of the North Frisian coastal landscape, giving it a sense of expressive drama. In many of these paintings, it is the sunsets that dominate the mood and the light-drenched colours of nature.
