Apollonio Facchinetti, genannt „Domenichini“, tätig 1740 Venedig – um 1770 DER MARKUSPLATZ GEGEN OSTEN Öl auf Leinwand. 71 x 120,5 cm. Ungerahmt.Beigegeben eine schriftliche Stellungnahme von Dario Succi von Juni 2020, in Kopie. Die hier gezeigte Ansicht von sehr hoher Qualität verleiht dem Markusdom und seinem Campanile, der von den architektonischen Flügeln der Procuratie Nuove umrahmt wird, eine durch die perspektivische Anordnung begünstigte Größe. Eine erste Version der Ansicht könnte ein Werk von Canaletto aus der Zeit um 1723 sein (William George Constable, Canaletto. Giovanni Antonio Canal. 1697-1768, hrsg. J. G. Links, Oxford 1976, Bd. 1, Tafeln 11-14), von dem der Wissenschaft mehrere Versionen bekannt sind, die sich alle durch unterschiedliche Beleuchtung auszeichnen. Auf der Piazza ist das neue Pflaster aus dem Jahr 1723 zu sehen, das bereits von Canaletto selbst dargestellt wurde. Die Gebäude sind mit großer Aufmerksamkeit für die Wiedergabe der Architektur und des Farbenspiels gestaltet, wie z.B. die Säulen am Eingang, die in einem Spiel von Schatten und Licht die graublauen und polychromen Marmorbereiche hervorheben, das Leuchten in der Ferne des Goldes der Mosaike, sogar auf den Lünetten. Die Palette zeichnet sich durch weiche, zarte Farben aus, die gut mit dem klaren Himmel harmonieren, der hier und da von ein paar Wolken durchzogen ist. Der große Platz wird durch die vielen Menschen belebt, die in kleinen, gut austarierten Gruppen flanieren und sich unterhalten, was ihm eine ruhige Alltagsatmosphäre verleiht. Langgestreckte, elegante Figuren werden in detailreich beschriebener Kleidung dargestellt. Es ist eine ähnliche Version des Gemäldes bekannt, mit leicht abweichenden Maßen (83,5 x 113 cm), die bei Sotheby‘s versteigert wurde (Auktion in London am 5. Dezember 2019, Lot 188), mit wärmeren und bernsteinfarbenen Tönen, aber demselben raffinierten Geschmack bei der Darstellung der Architektur. Apollonio Facchinetti wurde auch „Domenichini“ oder „Menichino“ genannt und war der wichtigste Künstler der in Venedig ansässigen Familie Apollonio. Hinweise zum Leben des Künstlers sind relativ rar. Vermutlich war er ein Schüler Luca Carlevaris (1663/65-1729/31), Francesco Albottos (1721/22-1757), oder Michele Giovanni Marieschis (1696/1710-1743) und scheint ab etwa 1740 als unabhängiger Künstler tätig gewesen zu sein. Als Vedutist widmete sich Apollonio wohl ausschließlich der Stadt Venedig. Der Zeitraum zwischen 1740 und 1750, in dem Canaletto (1697-1768) sich in England aufhielt, kam Apollonio zugute, war er nun, bei den Reisenden der Grand Tour mit seinen Veduten äußerst beliebt. Bei etlichen Ausstellungen wurde die Anerkennung der im Stilvergleich stehenden Werke an Apollonio immer präziser. Die von ihm stammende zusammengehörige Werkgruppe von 13 Veduten in der namensgebenden Stiftung Langmatt in Baden in der Schweiz hat man aufgrund architektonischer Details in das Jahr 1744 datiert. Die Veduten führten nach Vorschlag von Dario Succi zu einer Benennung des Malers. Sein Name wurde entdeckt durch die Korrespondenz zwischen dem britischen Minister Sir John Strange und dem venezianischen Gemäldeagenten Maria Sasso. Sein Werk ist mit dem Schaffen von Michele Giovanni Marieschi (1696/1710-1743) und Francesco Albotto (1721/22-1757) in Verbindung gebracht worden. Es ist auch mit Arbeiten von Francesco Tironi (um 1745-1797), in der Manier Giovanni Antonio Canal (1697-1768), vergleichbar. (†)Literatur: Vgl. Gertrude Borghero (Hrsg.), Mythos Venedig.

(1320122) (13)Apollonio Facchinetti, also known as “Domenichini”,active 1740 Venice – ca. 1770SAINT MARK'S SQUARE TO THE EAST Oil on canvas.71 x 120.5 cm.Accompanied by a written statement by Dario Succi dated June 2020 (copy enclosed).The high-quality veduta depicted here shows St Mark’s Basilica and its campanile, framed by the architectural wings of the Procuratie Nuove, a size favoured by the perspective arrangement. A first version may be a work by Canaletto from ca. 1723 (W.G. Constable, Canaletto, edited by J.G. Links, Oxford 1976, vol. 1, plates 11-14), of which several versions are known to scholars, all characterized by different lighting. The piazza shows the new pavement dating to 1723, which was already depicted by Canaletto. The buildings are painted with great attention to architectural detail and the play of colours, for example the columns at the entrance that, in a play of shadow and light, accentuate the greyish-blue and polychrome marble areas, the distant glow of the gold mosaics, even on the lunettes. The soft and delicate colour palette harmonizes well with the clear sky with just a few scattered clouds. The large square is animated by many people strolling and chatting in small, well-balanced groups conveying a tranquil, everyday atmosphere. Elongated, elegant figures are depicted in detailed clothing. A similar version of the painting, with slightly different dimensions (83.5 x 113 cm), is known to have been sold at Sotheby’s (London auction on 5 December 2019, lot 188), with warmer and amber hues but the same refined taste in the representation of architecture.

Artist: Helmut Newton (German/Australian, 1920-2004). Title: "Rue Aubriot I, Fashion Model Smoking, Paris, 1975 [standard format]". Medium: Original photolithograph. Date: Composed 1975. Printed 1993. Dimensions: Overall size: 10 5/8 x 7 1/4 in. (270 x 184 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed "Helmut" in black marker, lower right. Edition unknown, presumed small. High-grade archival paper. Printed to the edge of the sheet. Fine, quality printing. Very good to fine condition. Provenance: Through the photographer Wolfgang Sievers; from an extensive private collection, Melbourne, Australia. Comment(s): From Newton's Private Property Collection #1. It features actress and model Vibeke Knudsen “standing alone in a lamplit Parisian street. Styled in a deliberately androgynous outfit made up of Yves Saint Laurent's cult Le Smoking dinner jacket, pin-striped wide leg formal trousers and white tie, the photograph was to immortalize the Yves Saint Laurent aesthetic that took over the 1970’s. Newton loved to shoot outdoors and this night-time scene, using only the street lighting available, was directly drawn from the nocturnal photographs of his hero, Brassai. Recalling the shoot in an interview with New York Magazine in 1988 Newton said: 'Vibeke was a girl I often worked with in those days. The idea was a man-woman standing in the street at night - the street, in fact, in Paris' Marais district, where I lived for 14 years.’ Newton’s own house can be seen in the background.” Image copyright © Helmut Newton Foundation.

Artist: Henri Cartier-Bresson (French, 1908 - 2004). Title: "Behind the Gare St. Lazare". Medium: Original vintage photogravure. Date: Composed 1932. Printed 1953. Dimensions: Image size: 13 9/16 x 9 1/8 in. (344 x 232 mm).Lot Note(s): Stamped with the photographer's name, verso. Edition unknown, presumed small. High-grade archival paper. Printed to the edge of the sheet. Fine, quality printing. Very good to fine condition; affixed to very thin and supple archival acid-free support sheet, not mount/board. Comment(s): Although Cartier-Bresson noted that he did not prefer any one of his pictures to the others, historians regard “Behind The Gare Saint-Lazare” as his most iconic photograph. He took the black and white photograph in 1932 outside the Saint-Lazar train station in Paris. Color film did not exist at the time and professional photographers rarely used artificial lighting in their works. Regardless, the natural skylight and the black and white lens add elements to the photograph that color and artificial lighting could not. Cartier-Bresson noticed the beautiful frame from the hardly visible architectural buildings in the background to the pool of rainwater in the foreground. Still, he needed a subject. He waited and waited until a busy businessman ran across the pool of water onto a broken and disregarded ladder. He snapped the picture just as the man was in the process of jumping from the ladder back into the water, adding a layer of contrast between the man’s hurry and the water’s stillness. [25078-3-800]

Flemish or Italian master; mid-17th century."Scene from the Commedia dell'Arte".Oil on canvas. Re-tinted.Attached pictorial analysis issued by Icono, I&R, restoration and technical studies of easel painting.It has an export permit and condition report issued by Icono Restauración.It has restorations.Measurements: 116 x 144 cm.During the 16th century most of the painting reflected biblical themes, in which the authors approached the stories of the gospels to the spectators through the clothes of the models, who adopted attitudes contemporary to the time. The uniqueness of this work lies in the fact that the subject matter is based on popular reality and everyday life. However, it is not the typical tavern scenes, where the different strata of society were represented, but is dedicated to the theatre. Specifically to the Comedia Dell'arte", an enlightening fact, since during this historical period the artistic genres were more closely linked than ever before. The characters we see are archetypes taken from the aforementioned theatrical genre, in fact, we can recognise the figure of Coviello, located in the foreground on the right, while the central characters, who appear without masks and stand out for their soft, gentle and youthful features, could represent Florindo and Rosaura, a couple in love who are common in the performances of the "Comedia dell'arte".The figures in the scene seem to show a specific moment that has been captured by the viewer in the manner of a photograph. Their expressive gestures, the way they interact and the emotion on their faces distance this painting from the forced stagnation of the figures common in Flemish painting of the period, thus revealing the Italian influence. One feature that reveals the great complexity of this painting is the composition, in which the artist plays with an apparently simple frieze-like arrangement in which he introduces a typically Baroque cross or crossbrow that enhances the dynamism of the scene, leaving the central figures in the centre to take centre stage. Despite the great profusion of figures and their monumentality, the artist introduces a sense of spatiality that is particularly reflected in the arrangement of the still life in the foreground. This still life reflects the painter's technical skill in capturing with great realism the casserole with the milk or, for example, the eggs hanging on Coviello's chest. Even the presence of the cat, who is the only character who remains static, but is nonetheless humanised through the detail of the collar. The lighting is clearly reminiscent of Caravaggist painting, which also dealt with this type of subject matter, as did other painters such as Jan Cossiers and Johan Liss.

PASSENGERS - Jim Preston's Light-Up Stunt Avalon SpacesuitJim Preston's light-up stunt Avalon spacesuit from Morten Tyldum's sci-fi romance Passengers. After being awakened from suspended animation decades too soon on board a spaceship, mechanical engineer Preston (Chris Pratt) wore his suit when he attempted to repair the ship and save the lives of its passengers. This costume consists of a visorless gray plastic, fiberglass, and metal helmet; matching chest armor with shoulder accents and electrical wiring in the interior; a gray polyester and neoprene jacket and matching pants with rubber and metal accents containing plastic wiring on the interior; a black neoprene tunic; a black zip-up mesh vest; matching gloves with plastic and metal accents and wired interiors; and matching boots with wired interiors. "Stunt" is hand-marked throughout the costume.The wiring is designed to activate lighting elements inset on the armor, jacket, pants, gloves, and boots when plugged into a power source. Following production, an electronic control circuit board was removed, but the lights have since been sympathetically restored. The boots currently only illuminate red, while one glove does not illuminate due to damaged wiring. The costume also exhibits some scuffing and wear throughout.Contains electronic components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $10,000 - 15,000This lot will be auctioned on Tuesday, June 21st. The auction will begin at 8:00am PDT and lots are sold sequentially via live auctioneer; tune in to the live streaming broadcast on auction day to follow the pace.

STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE (1977) - Screen-Matched ILM Red Leader X-wing Model MiniatureAn original screen-matched 'Red Leader' X-wing Starfighter model miniature created by Industrial Light & Magic for George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope. Red Leader played heavily in the film's final battle sequence. The character wore a unique gold-colored helmet and his X-wing fighter was marked with a single red stripe on each wing, signifying his call sign as Red One. When Star Wars was released in May 1977 and became an instant phenomenon, two of the elements frequently cited for the film's success were its design aesthetic, and the quality of the visual effects work-both of which are represented in this historic X-wing fighter model.The X-wing, like much of Star Wars, was born out of a concept from Lucas himself. He imagined the ship as a dragster with a long body and a pilot on the back, and early concept designer Colin Cantwell was credited for adding the X-shaped wings. Cantwell also built the first physical prototype of the craft. From there, visual effects art director Joe Johnston refined the design into the famous ship known today.For the film's space battle sequences, several 1:24 scale models were needed of each of the core fighters-the X-wing, Y-wing, and T.I.E. fighter. Three basic-grades of models were built: hero models with multiple threaded mounting points and practical lighting elements; high-quality pyro models, designed for effects explosion shots, that were close copies of their hero counterparts but specifically made to look good in explosions on film; and lower-quality pyro models that were built out of necessity since production needed more attempts than originally planned to capture the ideal shots of exploding ships. Lucas had specific direction for the explosions, and a number of attempts with practical burn mixtures and processes were necessary to achieve that vision. "George wanted the outline of the ship to be on fire, the entire outline of the ship sparking away, and then it would blow. Figuring out how to do that took some time," recalled pyro specialist Joe Viskocil, who was responsible for the explosion shots. The lower-quality pyro models were built quickly and with less detail and looser paintwork than the high-quality pyro models. While no exact build records from the production have surfaced, the line-up of X-wing models created for the film can be reverse-engineered from production photos. It is understood by enthusiasts to be approximately: 4 hero models, 6 high-quality pyro models, and an unknown-quantity of lower-quality pyro models-likely a similar number to the high-quality models that were made.The hero and pyro models were constructed in two different manners. Hero models were fabricated from more unique elements, such as kit-bashed components, and were built around a metal armature; pryo models were primarily cast components that could be produced faster and had no armatures since they would hang from wires for the explosion shots. There are slight differences in the detailing of hero X-wing models and pyro models; one notable variation is the nose cone, which has an additional vertical panel-line inscribed on the hero model. All of the models were exceptionally detailed and finished to a very high standard, with the paintwork and decals on the high-quality pyro models closely resembling their hero counterparts.The X-wing fighter model presented here was originally built as the Red Leader (Red One) pyro model, and later in production adapted into a Biggs (Red Three) model by adding additional stripes to the wings and some additional paintwork. Red Leader's pyro shot in the film features an explosion on the back of an engine, but the ship itself remained completely intact (Red Leader then meets his end by crashing into the Death Star surface, in a shot that was an explosion only, with no ship model.) The shot of the Red Leader's engine explosion is documented in behind-the-scenes footage of the model against bluescreen, which shows this ship model remained intact, unlike other X-wings that were destroyed in full by their pyro explosions. The model was flown on thin wires to achieve the shot. Because the X-wing was intact, it was available to be converted into Red Three for possible additional filming work. Red Three's demise in the film shows a crude low-quality pyro model, and therefore this model only appears in the film as Red Leader, and never as Red Three.The Red Leader (Red One) origins of the model are confirmed by a screen-match to the pyro shot in the film where specific detailed markings on the model match up exactly. In comparing the pyro Red Leader model to the hero Red Leader model, several specific details make it clear that it is the Red Leader pyro model on screen. Two production photos showing different sides of the pyro Red Leader model show exact matches to numerous details with this specific X-wing model, confirming it is the original Red Leader pyro model. This X-wing also matches exactly to a workshop photo in its Red Three configuration taken at ILM by crew member Chris Casady. The red stripes, unique airbrush exhaust patterns, and blast-hit marks all align with exact precision to the model today, leaving no question that this is the same model seen in the photograph. Careful examination of the red stripes on the wings reveals that two of the three stripe markings have a different quality than the first, because they were applied at a different time.The significance of this Star Wars relic is enormous-genuine Star Wars models are amongst the rarest of artifacts from the films, and this is believed to be the only intact X-wing model from the original Star Wars that exists in a private collection. No other high-quality pyro models are known to have survived filming, and the hero models that survived are in the collection of George Lucas. The model is screen-matched to a memorable shot in the film and photo-matched to multiple behind-the-scenes production shots, providing unquestionable authenticity. The X-wing fighter is an integral element of the Star Wars saga and is recognized the world over.Included with the lot is an authentic giclee print showing this model in the ILM workshop photograph taken by Chris Casady, rotoscope and animation design animator on the film, during his time on the film in early 1977. The period image shows the model in great detail and is signed by photographer Casady.The X-wing fighter model is preserved extremely well and remains in excellent condition. The light-weight rigid foam remains solid, and the original unrestored paintwork is in excellent condition, with only subtle flaking in small areas. One of the laser cannons exhibits slight warpage, and one of the scratch-built laser cannon tip assemblies is loose. The pyro X-wing was intended to mount on a C-stand with a hole in the back of the fuselage, or to be hung from wires during filming. There are several small holes in the top of the fuselage related to hanging the model on wires. A custom-made aluminum stand that supports the model through the fuselage is included with the piece, as is a wooden transport crate. Dimensions: 22" x 18" x 8" (56 cm x 46 cm x 20 cm)Special shipping required; see notice in the Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $500,000 - 1,000,000This lot will be auctioned on Tuesday, June 21st.
