Adam Henein was born in Cairo in 1929 into a family of metalworkers. In 1953, he graduated from School of Fine Arts, Cairo, he went on to receive a two-year grant to study at the Luxor Atelier. The atelier was established a decade earlier by the notable Egyptian artist and scholar Mohamed Nagi to promote Egyptian art education in school circular. In 1954 and 1956 Henein received the Luxor price for his artistic achievements. Two years later, he received a diploma in advanced practices from the Munich Academy in Germany.In 1971, Adam Henein was invited to participate in an Egyptian contemporary art exhibition in Paris at the Musée Galleria. He spent the next two and half decades, from 1971 to 1996 in Paris pushing his practice through sculpture and painting and continued focusing on ancient Egyptian themes and traditional materials. The early 1970s marked an important evolution in Henein's artistic practice, whilst in Paris he was given the opportunity to be exposed to the work of great western modern sculptors and artists whose freedom of interpretation he found to be deeply inspiring.In the late 1990s, Henein returned to his homeland. He contributed greatly to his Egypt's cultural landscape, particularly in Aswan where he established the city's annual International Sculpture Symposium. Upon his return to Egypt he was also appointed by the Minister of Culture to head the design team involved in the restoration of the Great Sphinx in Giza. Henein was awarded Egypt's State Medal, the State Merit Award, as well as the Mubarak Award in the arts. His works have been exhibited at the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The MATHAF in Doha, The ASB Gallery in Munich as well as in London and Rome.Throughout his vast career Henein produced a significant number of large and small-scale sculptures handling a variety of different mediums such as bronze, granite, plaster, limestone and terracotta. In 2014, the Adam Henein Museum opened its door in Cairo's Al-Harraniya district, which is a priceless gift from the artist himself to his native country. The museum is dedicated to the largest collection of Henein's sculptures as well as featuring some of his paintings.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A silver-gilt membership medal for the Beggar's Benison Club, Anstruther, Scotland, second half 18th centuryOf upright oval form, the obverse with the nude figures of Adam and Eve standing with their hands joined, she clasping her breast, he pointing to a cascading bower, with a lion at his feet, beneath the inscription 'BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY', the reverse with the nude figure of Venus reclining before a tree, Cupid at her side and the nude figure of Adonis with a spear standing before them, his dog seated to the left, all beneath the inscription 'LOSE NO OPPORTUNITY', 4.3cm high including suspension loopFootnotes:ProvenanceDurrington CollectionLiteraturePeter Dodsworth, The Durrington Collection (2006), no.37ExhibitedBroadfield House Glass Museum, 'Majesty & Rebellion', 1999, catalogue no.43This finely modelled medal was made for members of 'The Most Ancient and Most Puissant Order of the Beggar's Benison and Merryland', formed in 1732 and founded in 1739 in Anstruther, Scotland. Much of the all-male club's activity revolved around sex and erotica, specifically 'the convivial celebration of male sexuality', with members meeting twice yearly on Candlemas and St. Andrew's Day. Members dined in their green silk sashes and wore these medals, the badges of the Order, at the annual meeting and dinner at their Castle of Dreel headquarters on St. Andrew's Day. As the popularity of the Club increased, the headquarters was moved to Edinburgh. The Club became large and sprawling, with branches established in Edinburgh, Glasgow and St. Petersburg. The 'Beggar's Benison' was drunk as a toast at aristocratic dinners in London in a coded reference to sex. In his 1952 thesis 'The Literary Clubs and Societies of Eighteenth Century Scotland', D D McElory states on p.504 how 'two examples of the Club's publications which I have seen were of such a downright pornographic nature as to make my soul shrink'.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
