Artist: Damien Hirst (English, b.1965). Title: "Pharmacy Panel (Gold) (1997) (4 panel)". Medium: Color silkscreen and offset lithograph. Date: Composed 1997. Dimensions: Overall size: 36 x 42 1/2 in. (914 x 1079 mm). Image size: 36 x 42 1/2 in. (914 x 1079 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed lower right. Printed with five colors and metallic gold ink. The full sheet. Fine impression. Fine condition. Backed with a conservation support sheet. Provenance: Private collection, Birmingham, England. Comment(s): A panel of wallpaper (the complete pattern). In 1997, for his restaurant called 'The Pharmacy' located at Notting Hill Gate, London, Hirst designed wallpaper (the "wall chart") based on the pharmaceutical giant Merck’s handbook endpapers, showing pills and products and describing them with their pharmaceutical titles. Merck objected and he withdrew it as an artwork of wallpaper, after he had already plastered the restaurant with silver and gold sheets of the material. Hirst's venture gained further publicity thanks to a dispute with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, which claimed the name, pill bottles, and medical items on display could confuse people looking for a real pharmacy. The name itself breached the Medicines Act 1968, which restricts the use of the word "pharmacy". The restaurant's name was subsequently changed to "Army Chap" and then "Achy Ramp" (anagrams of "pharmacy"). Initial plans to open further restaurants outside London were quietly dropped and the restaurant itself closed in September, 2003. Sotheby's dispersed its contents in 2004. There was a small overrun of the 1997 rolls, from which our example is a part. For the massive Pharmacy sale at Sotheby’s in 2004, though, new wallpaper was designed and made that didn’t offend copyright laws, using biblical titles and references to biblical passages. The 1997 wallpaper is much scarcer and more valuable than the 2004 version. Image copyright © Damien Hirst. [27848-6-1600]

Our example compares favorably with the example printed c1926 which sold for $41,400 at Swann Galleries, New York City, April 21, 2005, lot #70. In this propaganda object published during the Russian Civil War, the intrusive red wedge symbolizes the Bolsheviks, who are penetrating and defeating their opponents, the White Movement. Lazar Markovich Lissitzky was a Russian artist, designer, photographer, typographer, polemicist, and architect. He was an important figure of the Russian avant garde, helping develop suprematism with his mentor, Kazimir Malevich, and designing numerous exhibition displays and propaganda works for the former Soviet Union. His work greatly influenced the Bauhaus and constructivist movements, and he experimented with production techniques and stylistic devices that would go on to dominate 20th-century graphic design.

No auction records located. The contract to produce the posters for the XXIV Olympic Games in 1988 in Seoul was awarded to Lloyd Shin of Chicago, who had a gallery in Chicago and a gallery and contacts in Seoul. A number of prominent artists, including Lichtenstein, agreed to create images for the posters. It is unclear what happened but apparently the posters were never distributed, though a number were printed. A few were given to the participating artists. This image was then used by Lichtenstein later in 1988 for a lithograph of the same name, printed in 1989 (Corlett 235). Corlett states (pg.216) that "the image was initially designed for use as a poster for the 24th Olympiad, but it was never used for that purpose. The brushstrokes form the Chinese characters for 'contest'". Published by Lloyd Shin Gallery, Inc. Image © Estate of Roy Lichtenstein. [28315-6-2400]

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner - - 1880 Aschaffenburg - 1938 Davos Badende. 1908/09. Farbige Kreidezeichnung. Verso mit dem kaum leserlichen Nachlassstempel des Kunstmuseums Basel (Lugt 1570 b) und der kaum lesbaren handschriftlichen Registriernummer 'FS / Dre [..]'. Auf leichtem, chamoisfarbenem Büttenkarton. 42,7 x 34,3 cm (16,8 x 13,5 in), nahezu blattgroß. [CH]. • Dynamisches, kräftiges und besonders farbstarkes Werk aus der besten 'Brücke'-Zeit. • Eindrucksvolle Körperlichkeit bei größter Freiheit des Duktus und strenger Reduzierung auf die Kontur. • Zur gleichen Zeit schafft der Künstler motivisch ähnliche Gemälde, u. a. 'Drei Akte im Walde' (1908, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam) oder 'Stehender und liegender Akt' (1908, Gordon 51). • Das Motiv der Badenden und der Akt im Freien zählen zu den Hauptmotiven der 'Brücke'-Künstler. Das Werk ist im Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Archiv, Wichtrach/Bern, dokumentiert. PROVENIENZ: Nachlass des Künstlers (Davos 1938, Kunstmuseum Basel 1946). Privatsammlung Frankreich. Privatsammlung Belgien (1999 durch Erbschaft vom Vorgenannten erhalten). Gemeinsam mit Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Erich Heckel und Fritz Bleyl gründet Ernst Ludwig Kirchner 1905 in Dresden die Künstlergruppe 'Die Brücke'. In Ablehnung eines klassischen Kunststudiums studieren die Freunde stattdessen die moderne Kunst ihrer Zeit und widmen sich dem reinen Naturstudium, ohne sich von den traditionellen formalen, technischen und ästhetischen Regeln der Akademielehren beeinflussen zu lassen. Selbstbewusst und unbeirrt suchen sie nach ihrer ganz eigenen, individuellen künstlerischen Sprache. In dieser so bedeutenden, richtungsweisenden Zeit - der Geburtsstunde des Expressionismus - steht insbesondere die Darstellung des Menschen im Fokus der jungen Maler. Der Akt bildet für die 'Brücke'-Künstler 'die Grundlage aller bildenden Kunst', wie E. L. Kirchner selbst in seiner 'Chronik' schreibt (1913, zit. nach: Ausst.-Kat. Bremer Kunsthalle, 100 Jahre Brücke, Bremen 2005, S. 65). Dem Aktzeichnen widmet sich Kirchner in der Entstehungszeit unserer Arbeit nicht nur auf seiner ersten Fehmarn-Reise 1908 und während ausgedehnter Aufenthalte an den Moritzburger Teichen (ab 1909), sondern insbesondere auch im gemeinsamen Atelier im Arbeiterviertel Dresden-Friedrichstadt. In spontanen, dynamischen Zeichnungen studiert er die Eigenschaften des weiblichen Akts, den er nicht in erstarrt-akademischen, sondern in natürlichen und ungezierten Posen und Bewegungsabläufen zeichnet. Das Dresdener Atelier ist in diesen Jahren nicht nur Lebens- und Arbeitsraum der 'Brücke'-Künstler, sondern auch Treffpunkt für viele weibliche Amateurmodelle, die insbesondere E. L. Kirchner in zahlreichen, aus dem Moment geborenen Zeichnungen skizziert. Ebenso wie sich Kirchners künstlerisches Schaffen in diesen Jahren gegen das traditionelle Kunstverständnis richtet, entspricht auch sein Privatleben nicht den konservativen Moralvorstellungen der Wilhelminischen Ära. In seinem mit Vorhängen und Paravents dekorierten Atelier herrscht in diesen Jahren eine ungezwungene Freizügigkeit, die sich auch in den frei formulierten, lebhaften Zeichnungen widerspiegelt, in denen die akademische Darstellung des Aktes endgültig überwunden scheint. Innerhalb seines gesamten Schaffens räumt Kirchner der Zeichnung einen besonders hohen Stellenwert ein. Das Medium erlaubt ihm, die von den 'Brücke'-Künstlern gesuchte Unmittelbarkeit, die aus dem Moment geborene, natürliche Pose oder eine flüchtige Bewegung festzuhalten. So ist die hier angebotene, eindrucksvolle Darstellung einer momenthaften Atelierszene in ihrer Vereinfachung der Form, der Reduzierung auf raffinierte und selbstbewusst gesetzte Konturen in starken, kräftigen Farben sowie sicher geführtem Strich und der ungezwungenen Nacktheit der weiblichen Dargestellten nicht nur ein Zeugnis des bahnbrechenden künstlerischen Schaffens von E. L. Kirchner und der radikalen Kunstauffassung der 'Brücke'-Kunst, sondern auch des gesamten deutschen Expressionismus. [CH] Aufrufzeit: 18.06.2021 - ca. 19.24 h +/- 20 Min.

With the barely legible estate stamp of the Kunstmuseum Basel (Lugt 1570 b) and the hand-written registration number 'FS / Dre [..]' on the reverse. On light creme board. 42.7 x 34.3 cm (16.8 x 13.5 in), nearly the full sheet. [CH]. • Dynamic, powerful and particularly colorful work from the best 'Brücke' times. • Impressive physicality with the greatest freedom of style and strict reduction to the contour. • At the same time the artist created, among others, the painting 'Drei Akte im Walde' (1908, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam) with a similar motif. • Bathers and plein-air nudes are among the main motifs of the 'Brücke' artists. The work is registered at the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Archive, Wichtrach/Bern. PROVENANCE: From the artist's estate (Davos 1938, Kunstmuseum Basel 1946). Private collection France. Private collection Belgium (inherited from above in 1999). Together with Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Erich Heckel and Fritz Bleyl, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner founded the artist group 'Die Brücke' in Dresden in 1905. In the established Dresden art scene, the young artists saw no significant prospects for themselves or their modern, progressive work at that time and tried to arouse the interest of a larger audience with their work in joint exhibitions. Rejecting classical art studies, the friends studied the modern art of their time instead and devoted themselves to the pure study of nature without the influence of the traditional, formal, technical and aesthetic rules of the academy. Confidently and unswervingly, they were on a quest for their very own, individual artistic style. Today 'Die Brücke' is considered to be one of the most important artist groups of the early 20th century. Naked people in free movement were the central theme for the painters of the 'Brücke'. They were not interested in studying a figure ideal in the traditional academic manner, but rather wanted to reproduce real life in their art in an unadulterated way, and this could be experienced most directly in the natural movement of naked people. During their summer stays at the Moritzburg Lakes near Dresden, the 'Brücke' painters developed a liking for the paradisiacal, sexually explicit life in nature. Drawing together in nature, which mainly yielded nude studies, the three artists Kirchner, Heckel and Pechstein developed their characteristic sharp style in the year 1910. The carefree summer stays also echo in the subsequent work, which the artists executed in their studios, such as it s the case with the lithograph 'Drei Akte im Wasser' (Three Nudes in Water). The seemingly simple work delivers proof of Kirchner's outstanding graphic skills. Kirchner's drawings, are characterized by an arrestingly poised line and a powerful expressiveness, from the years before World War I, testify to everything that made German Expressionism so unique. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's drawings from this period are among the most important accomplishments of this era. Traditional viewing habits are questioned and focus was put on the pure drawing. Due to their unmatched quality, Kirchner's drawings make up an independent body of works in German Expressionism. Called up: June 18, 2021 - ca. 19.24 h +/- 20 min.

Die Folge wurde herausgegeben von der manus presse, Stuttgart, 1975 (Schellmann 172). [EH]. • Proof zu einem Blatt aus der Mappe 'Zeichnungen zu Leonardo Codices Madrid'. • Joseph Beuys bewundert die Kunst, den wissenschaftlichen Ansatz und die Legende um die Person Leonardo da Vincis. • Zeichnen als Prozess und das Atelier als Laboratorium. PROVENIENZ: Privatsammlung Deutschland (direkt vom Künstler erworben). AUSSTELLUNG: Joseph Beuys: Wo ist Element 3?, Ketterer Kunst, Berlin, 26.3.–22.5.2021. Als 1965 in der spanischen Nationalbibliothek in Madrid von dem Romanisten Jules Piccus die später als Codices Madrid bekannt gewordenen zwei Bände mit Notizen und Zeichnungen von Leonardo da Vinci entdeckt werden, gilt das als Sensation. Zehn Jahre später schafft Beuys eine Serie von Zeichnungen, die sich auf diese Bücher Leonardos beziehen. Seine Zeichnungen werden als Granolithografien in einer limitierten Buchauflage veröffentlicht. Beuys’ Beschäftigung mit Leonardo beginnt in den 1950er Jahren, in denen er eine „Giocondologie“, eine Wissenschaft von der Gioconda, der Mona Lisa, erfindet. In Leonardo sieht Beuys einen Ansatz, der ihn für seine Erweiterungsideen interessiert: „Da liegt ein Modell vor in Leonardo.“ (J. Beuys, zit. nach: Joseph Beuys, Spuren in Italien, Kunstmuseum Luzern, 1979, o. S.). In dem vorliegenden Druck mit angedeuteten oder ausgeführten tierischen Schädelformen und den Ergänzungen – neben dem Schädel rechts unten die Wörter „exterminated“ und „fossil“ – ist Beuys‘ Interesse für naturwissenschaftliche Zusammenhänge deutlich wahrnehmbar.

The discovery of two volumes of notes and drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, later known as Codices Madrid, by the romanist Jules Piccus in the Spanish National Library in Madrid in 1965 was a sensation. Ten years later, Beuys created a series of drawings that refer to these books by Leonardo. His drawings were published as granolithographs in a limited book edition. Beuys’ occupation with Leonardo began in the 1950s, when he invented a 'Giocondology', a science of the Gioconda, the Mona Lisa. Beuys sees an approach in Leonardo‘s work that he finds interesting in terms of his own ideas of expansion: “There is a certain model in Leonardo.” (J. Beuys, quote from: Joseph Beuys, Spuren in Italien, Kunstmuseum Luzern, 1979, no p.). With this print with the suggested or executed animal skulls and the additional inscription 'exterminated' and 'fossil', Beuys expresses his interest in science.
