His images are pictorial – soft focus and impressionistic. [28053-2-300]

Artist: El Lissitzky (Russian, 1890-1941). Title: "Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge". Medium: Original color lithograph. Date: Composed 1919. Printed c1926. Dimensions: Image size: 18 1/4 x 22 1/8 in. (464 x 562 mm).Lot Note(s): Edition unknown, presumed very small. Off-white wove paper. Margins. Fine, strong impression. Overall good condition with no serious issues. Minor edge tears, not into the image. The work could be conserved easily. It has not been hinged. Literature/catalogue raisonne: Lissitzky-Kuppers 40. Comment(s): An extremely important print and arguably El Lissitzky's most famous image. 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.

Artist: Steve Wheeler (American, 1912 - 1992). Title: "Seafarers [tan]". Medium: Color etching. Date: Composed c1940. Dimensions: Overall size: 7 x 9 3/8 in. (178 x 238 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed "Wheeler" in pencil, lower right. Edition size unknown (perhaps never editioned, with only a few proofs pulled). Cream wove paper. Wide margins. Fine impression with pronounced platemark. Very good to fine condition; printed slightly off-center; would be fine save a few ink smudges in the margins. Comment(s): Wheeler’s prints in woodcut and etching are rare. ‘Gordon’s Print Prices’ lists only his silkscreens – not a single woodcut or etching. He is often spoken of as one of the least appreciated, but most deserving, of 20th Century American artists. The influence of Arshile Gorky on Wheeler’s oeuvre is often overlooked. His work is increasingly being "discovered," as evidenced by the sale of his painting "W22 (Man Looking at Pork Chop)" at Christie's New York, 05/21/2008, lot #8, at $109,000 (including premium). There has been recent increasing interest in his fine prints as well. Image copyright © The Estate of Steve Wheeler. [30114-1-800]

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]
Artist: Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987). Title: "Shell Casing". Medium: Brass shell casing (spent cartridge). Date: Composed c1982. Dimensions: Overall size: 2 1/8 x 3/8 in. (54 x 10 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed on the casing in black marker. Edition size unknown, probably 5-7. Condition: Warhol has signed the object twice: ‘Andy’ and then ‘Warhol’. Both signatures are faded. The primary images have been enhanced to properly show the signatures and their placement on the casing. A small trace of paper on the bottom, from the original mounting, remains. Provenance: Private collection, Sweden, thence to our consignor. Comment(s): Very rare. According to Borje Bengtsson, who purchased the Galeria Fernando Vijande archive, the casings were originally mounted standing, on light cardboard. When removed, each casing retained a trace of the paper at the bottom, which ours bears. Signed by the artist at the opening of the exhibition "Andy Warhol: Guns, Knives, Crosses" at Galeria Fernando Vijande, Madrid, Spain, December 20, 1982-February 12, 1983.

Fine condition; original shrink wrap intact; never opened; never played. Provenance: Private collection, Deerfield, Illinois. Comment(s): Rare when signed. The legendary record for which Rauschenberg won the 1984 Grammy Award for best recording package. "Complete with spinning plexi-discs and layers of images, it was the perfect foil for Rauschenberg’s interest in collaged objects. Red, yellow and blue discs were layered with photographs of number plates, car bumpers, and suburban bedrooms. The cover looks almost exactly like his 1967 piece "Revolver," with similar plexi-discs set in a concrete base with a motor to spin the prints. Only with the Talking Heads’ artwork we got to control them ourselves – on a record, no less. Something that’s accessible and affordable. It was the ideal medium for an artist who’d been known to say that he wanted to ‘work in the gap between art and life.’ " (courtesy Jennifer Kabat). Image copyright © Licensed by VAGA, New York, NY.

Artist: Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (Japanese, 1839-1892). Title: "Study for Hanging Scroll #01". Medium: Pen and ink drawing. Date: Composed c1870s. Dimensions: Overall size: 10 3/4 x 7 1/2 in. (273 x 190 mm). Image size: 7 3/8 x 5 3/4 in. (187 x 146 mm).Lot Note(s): Translucent Gampi (Washi/Rice/Mulberry) paper affixed at the corners to a semi-opaque, handmade, laid paper. Very good condition; minor folding lower right corner, no broken paper fibers. Provenance: Wittenborn Art Books, New York City. Comment(s): Drawings by Yoshitoshi are very scarce. This drawing came from a hand bound album of drawings and sketches, with Yoshitoshi’s name and date inscribed, not in his hand, on the first leaf (please see images). The date is written “the 27th year of Meiji period, Oct. 10th.” The 27th year of the Meiji is the year 1894, two years after the Artist’s death. The album is hand bound and had many blank pages. In addition, the final non-blank pages are colored around the drawings with cinnabar, clearly by the artist. Hence while the album could have been assembled after his death, the more likely probability is that it was bound by the Artist and became a working album, which he continually added to over the years. He is also known as Taiso Yoshitoshi, Yoshitoshi Taiso, and Tsukioka Kinzaburo Yoshitoshi. [24502-2-300]

It is also very impressive when framed. Provenance: Arizona Biltmore Hotel, Phoenix, Arizona. Comment(s): Built in 1929 and known throughout the world as “The Jewel of the Desert," the Biltmore resort was designed by Albert Chase MacArthur, with consulting from Frank Lloyd Wright and his Taliesin Architects, particularly on the brick design and general interior design, including the carpeting. Mr. Wright's carpet design was sent to the prestigious Wilton Carpet Manufacturing Company in Axminster, England, which used only the highest quality 100% wool available in its manufacture. In 1932 the carpet was installed throughout the hotel as an integral part of the overall interior design. On June 21st, 1973, a tragic fire led to the replacement of all the carpeting throughout the resort, of which our example is part (please see image of the carpet in place). The carpet was designed by Wright's Taliesin Architects based on a Wright drawing (dated by him in 1921) for the Second Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, constructed 1915-1923. "As classically correct today as the day it was created, Mr. Wright's modern use of line and rich jewel tones make this vintage carpet as modern and enduring as the Biltmore itself." (from the "Arizona Republic"). Included in several important collections, including the Baltimore Museum of Art. Image copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. [23620-16-400]
