The cover is made of hessian covered in black leather. The Bauhaus School of Crafts and Design, or Staatliche Bauhaus, is one of the milestones of modern art. It touched on the various artistic fields, although it was architecture that was most influential. Fine art and craftsmanship had the same value within industrial production. Its meaning is "House of construction" and from it came some of the most interesting ideas and proposals of the early 20th century. It was not only a school, it also became a whole artistic movement.

On 21 September 1883, Agapit Vallmitjana's sculpture "The Lion Hunter" (also known as "The African") was installed in the Parc de la Ciutadella. Made of marble and commissioned by the City Council, in 1884 the sculpture won a medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid. Vallmitjana specialised in making sculptures representing animals, such as the lions on the main staircase of the Palace of the Generalitat of Catalonia and those on the monument to Columbus in Barcelona.The son of the sculptor Venanci Vallmitjana i Barbany, who was also a disciple of his at the Llotja School in Barcelona, Agapit Vallmitjana began his activity in 1883 when he opened a workshop with his father, where he also exhibited his works. He later combined his artistic activity with teaching, which he did from 1902 at La Llotja. He was known above all for his work in the animalistic genre, having produced numerous sculptural groups featuring wild animals, especially lions. He made a name for himself at the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts, being awarded third and second class medals in the 1884 and 1908 editions. He is currently represented in the National Art Museum of Catalonia, the Museum of Modern Art in Madrid, the Diocesan Museum of Barcelona and the Palace of the Generalitat de Catalunya, and has public monuments in Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia.

Vitra has manufactured the Charles and Ray Eames Lounge Chair using the same manufacturing methods since the 1950s.Charles and Ray Ames, a husband and wife artistic couple, worked in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and film, and are responsible for numerous designs that have become 20th century classics. Charles Eames studied architecture for two years at the University of Washington, then began his career working in a studio on residential housing projects. In 1938 he moved to Cranbrook, Michigan, to continue studying architecture and design at the city's Academy of Art. He would eventually teach there, heading the industrial design department. Together with Eero Saarinen, the son of his teacher Eliel Saarinen, he designed the trophy for the Organic Design Award, given by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1941, after divorcing his first wife, he married his colleague at Cranbrook, Ray Kaiser. Together they settled in Los Angeles, where they would remain for the rest of their lives. In the late 1940s, Ray and Charles designed their home together, known as the "Eames House," now considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. In the 1950s the couple continued to work in architecture and furniture design, pioneering the use of new techniques and materials such as fiberglass and plastic resin in the manufacture of chairs. They are currently represented in the Design Museum in London and the MoMA in New York, among many others.

Artioli choisit Modène, la ville de Ferrari, Lamborghini et Maserati pour construire son usine moderne dont la première voiture de série sortit en 1992. Baptisée EB 110 (pour ses débuts 110 ans après la naissance d'Ettore) la première nouvelle Bugatti depuis 1950 était une surpercar moderne à moteur central, accueillie comme la digne héritière de ses formidables devancières. La Bugatti EB 110 avait été conçu par nuls autres que l'ingénieur Paolo Stanzani et le styliste Marcello Gandini, co-créateurs de l'exotique Lamborghini Countach à laquelle l'EB 110 ressemblait fortement par son porte-à-faux avant court, sa carrosserie en coin et ses portes en élytre. Sous la carrosserie, on trouvait aussi quelques ressemblances, le moteur V12 à course courte avec la boîte de vitesse monté devant, déjà vu sur la Countach. Si l'EB 110 s'en était tenu à cela, elle aurait déjà constitué un assez remarquable départ pour un nouveau constructeur, mais à ses caractéristiques déjà exceptionnelles, elle ajoutait cinq soupapes par cylindre, quatre turbos, une boîte à six rapports spécifique et quatre roues motrices ! Malgré sa complexité, l'EB 110 marchait bien sur la route, ses dimensions compactes combinées aux quatre roues motrices lui conférant une agilité exceptionnelle, une excellente adhérence et un bon équilibre en toutes circonstances. Le V12 3,5 litres développait 561 ch, pour une vitesse de pointe de 340 km/h, un chiffre enregistré sur la piste d'essai de Nardo en Italie qui mettait l'EB 110 à égalité avec l'autre « voiture la plus rapide du monde », la Jaguar XJ220. Il existait aussi une version de compétition allégée, l'EB 110 SS qui fit ses débuts au Salon de Genève en 1992, six mois après le lancement de l'EB110 GT. Pour la Super Sport, Bugatti portait la puissance encore plus haut. Les chiffres publiés variaient, mais tous avaient en commun d'excéder les 600 ch. Ce surcroît de puissance avait été obtenu en installant un nouveau système de gestion électronique et de plus gros injecteurs, ainsi qu'un échappement plus libre. Le pois total avait été réduit de 202 kg en remplaçant quelques panneaux d'aluminium par des éléments en carbone Kevlar et en adoptant des jantes en magnésium BBS. Pour la Super Sport, Bugatti revendiquait un 0 à 60 miles à l'heure (0 à 97 km/h) en 3,14 secondes et une vitesse maximale de 355 km/h, des chiffres époustouflants encore aujourd'hui. Alors qu'invariablement les journalistes mettaient l'accent sur ses prodigieuses performances à l'exclusion de pratiquement tout le reste, excepté peut-être son prix (380 000 $ pour la version SS) l'EB110 était néanmoins une voiture bien construite possédant un intérieur spacieux et bien équipé.Malheureusement pour Artioli et ses collaborateurs, l'EB 110 avait été lancée juste au moment de la récession du début des années 1990 et la société fut mise en liquidation en 1994. En plus de cinq prototypes de pré-production en aluminium et huit à châssis en matériau composite, on estime (selon les sources) que seulement 125 de ces voitures exotiques furent construites (95 GT et 30 SS), le pilote de Formule 1 Michael Schumacher et son altesse royale le sultan de Brunei étant probablement les plus connus de ses propriétaires.Cette EB110 GT a été livrée neuve le 4 avril 1996 via Bruno de Cillia à Villach Landskron, près de Vienne, le concessionnaire Bugatti autrichien. Le premier propriétaire était un certain M. Schmidt, qui a conservé la voiture pendant dix années. Lorsque le second propriétaire a acheté la Bugatti, elle n'avait couvert que 1 000 kilomètres. En mai 2013, à 8 932 kilomètres, la Bugatti a été entièrement entretenu chez Bentley, à Vienne, dont la facture détaillée de 14 262 € figure au dossier. La voiture a été achetée par son actuel propriétaire (le troisième) en 2017 et n'a parcouru que 10 200 kilomètres en tout, dont un voyage à la célébration internationale Bugatti au Portugal en 2018.Équipée de deux pneus neufs, de sa housse et de sa valise d'origine, la voiture est vendue avec ses papiers d'immatriculation Autrichien originaux, diverses factures, un papier d'immatriculation portugais et un contrôle technique portugais.Bleue avec intérieur gris, 050 se présente en excellent état général et représente une rare opportunité de posséder et d'apprécier une des supercars emblématiques des années 1990, dont peu de voiture peuvent égaler les performances encore aujourd'hui. Il ne faut pas laisser passer cette chance, le marché de ces voitures de collection rares est particulièrement dynamique en ce moment. One of only 95 production EB110 GTs1996 Bugatti EB110 GT CoupéChassis no. ZA9AB01E0PCD39050Engine no. 0050Forty years after Ettore Bugatti's death in 1947, the once legendary but moribund marque, one of the most renowned in automotive history, was acquired by ambitious Italian businessman Romano Artioli, whose aim was nothing less than a resurrection of Bugatti in the form of a state-of-the-art supercar. Artioli chose Modena, home to Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati, as the place to build his modern factory from which the first completed production car rolled out in 1992. Designated 'EB110' (signifying its debut 110 years after Ettore's birth) the first new Bugatti since the 1950s was an advanced mid-engined supercar acclaimed as worthy successor to its formidable antecedents. The Bugatti EB110 GT was designed by none other than engineer Paolo Stanzani and stylist Marcello Gandini, co-creators of the exotic Lamborghini Countach supercar to which the EB110, with its short nose, wedge-shaped body and gull-wing doors, bore a strong resemblance. Beneath the skin there were similarities too, the short-stroke V12 engine with forward mounted gearbox having been pioneered on the Countach. Had the EB110 stopped there it would have constituted a remarkable enough debut for a fledgling manufacturer, but to the already outstanding specification Stanzani added five valves per cylinder, four turbo-chargers, a bespoke six-speed gearbox and four-wheel drive! Despite the complexity, the EB110 worked well on the road, its compact dimensions combined with four-wheel drive making for exceptional agility, with excellent grip and balance no matter what the conditions. The 3.5-litre V12 developed 561bhp, ... For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Token ID 371I fell in love with the wild, beautiful, uncanny and profound results that came with the first round of Eponym. With Stories, I began to explore what result would come telling Ai that this was ""for a museum"". One of the first results was 'for the museum of modern art' which looked like an abstract landscape hanging on a white wall but it also had a 3d element that was breaking the fourth wall of perspective. It felt like the perfect piece to represent modern Ai driven art with the intent of being FOR a museum. It even came with what looks like an information placard about the art hanging on the wall in lower right corner of the frame.For subsequent stories, I picked museums I've been to that inspire me and tried many permutations for the art. The ones that stood out were ones that looked like they might belong in the museum referenced but also said something to the museum about its history, its present and its future. To me, each piece honors the museum's style but also says something about the art within its walls that can be interpreted in myriad ways. 'for the louvre' has a similar feeling of breaking the fourth wall. The frame and walls evoke an Egyptian artifact that was taken by Napoleon himself and brought to Paris. It was too rich in artificial mystique to pass up.'for the guggenheim' looks like a pen and ink masterpiece Peggy herself would hang on the walls of her spiral halls. The touches of blue in the black and white figures is striking.In 'for the smithsonian' I was looking for something American that also evoked the 'shining city on the hill'. The result that came looks like a sketch that George Washington or one of his officers may have sketched in their journal during the American Revolution.With 'for the van gogh museum' I had originally set out to show how the Ai could recreate or construct a new Van Gogh painting. There were many impressive options but then the result you see here popped up. While not in the style of Van Gogh, it seems to reference the artist himself, it looks like a portion of one of his self-portraits but it also seems to be saying something. Perhaps that Van Gogh is still with us, his haunting blue eye, watching the progress of art and humanity and culture. The cryptic signature on the bottom right. The DaVinci like canvas it's painted on. I don't know. I just couldn't pass up minting it.I mean, come on, 'for the picasso museum in barcelona' looks like late-era Picasso painting, celebrating the spirit of Spanish life as well as the freedom of how children are free with their art. To me, what's minted looks like what Picasso might have painted today and perhaps minted to the chain. 'for the dali museum in paris' to me, looks like two elongated figures embracing, intertwined; surreal and Jungian, the integration of the psyche, of the self, the id and ego, the light and shadow, together as one.'for the national gallery' made me laugh. I kept trying to create a new JMW Turner painting, something quintessentially British, and there were some good options, but then this popped up and it just looked like someone hung the painting up backwards and we were looking at the back of the frame. It also had great shading for the back of the painting. As for the title, this belongs in a museum, it's a reference to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, when he rescues the Cross of Coronado...Enjoy.For more information about the artist and their story please visit:https://epostories.auction/epostory/371/this-belongs-in-a-museum

MASRIERA Y CARRERAS pendant; Barcelona, 40-50s.In white gold, pliquè-a-jour enamels, diamonds, emerald and ivory.Signed.Measurements: 7,5 x 3,5 cm (pendant).Pendant with oriental figure by the prestigious Catalan firm Masriera y Carreras with the same design, although with some changes in the materials, as the one published in "Els Masriera, Un segle de joieria i orfebreria", page 136, whose original Indian ink drawing (scale 1/1) appears, in turn, in the "Catàleg de models de Masriera Hermanos y Joaquín Carreras", vol. 3, n. 2998 and vol. 4, num 3672. Both pieces have also been published in "Els Masriera. Josep, Francesc i Lluis", Mnac, Editorial Proa, 1996, p. 131.Within the iconographic repertoire of Lluis Masriera's jewellery, the numerous representation of female figures stands out, in contrast to the almost non-existent presence of male figures. This pendant, which has an oriental figure as its subject, is one of the exceptions.The pendant's exceptional design features a frontal decorated with the image of a turbaned man whose face has been worked in ivory. The surface is decorated with pliqué-à-jour enamels, in the style of Masriera and Carreras, with the background in dark blue with vegetal and floral decoration in oranges and ochres, and with brilliant-cut diamonds around the whole of the piece. The upper part of the pendant features a knob-cut emerald, bordered with diamonds and contained in a masterly interplay of openwork. With a yellow-gold chain and a loop clasp.The plique-à-jour technique, French for "letting the light in", is a vitreous enamelling technique in which the enamel is applied in cells, similar to cloisonné, but without any backing material on the finished product, so that light can pass through the transparent or translucent material. It is an extremely expensive technique (up to 4 months to produce a piece), with a high failure rate.The silverware and jewellery firm was founded in Barcelona in 1839 by Josep Masriera Vidal. The process of making the pieces, from the design to the final polishing, was carried out in the family workshop, which gradually expanded as demand increased and, with it, production. By the end of the 19th century, the Masriera workshop was already the most important in the city of Barcelona, winning the Gold Medal and the Unique Prize awarded by the Associació d'Artífexs en Joieria i Plateria de Barcelona (Association of Jewellers and Silversmiths of Barcelona). In 1887 the firm was renamed Masriera y Hermanos, with Josep Masriera Manovens at the helm. At this time, production was extended to jewellery, partly thanks to the revival of various enamelling techniques, and Lluís Masriera Rosés, Josep's son, became the jeweller of Catalan modernism, achieving international renown. In the second decade of the 20th century, the firm left the Art Nouveau style behind in favour of more geometric lines, close to the new Art Deco. At the height of the Noucentisme, in 1915, two of the oldest families of silversmiths and jewellers in Catalonia, the Masriera and Carreras families, who had been in business since 1766, merged thanks to the association of Masriera and his brothers with Joaquim Carreras Nolla. The Masriera and Carreras firm was born, focused on the production of Lluís Masriera's designs and on the new and thriving European Art Deco style. Their participation in the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris in 1925, and in the Universal Exhibition in Barcelona in 1929, brought the firm definitive international recognition. In 1985, Masriera y Carreras and Bagués, another of Barcelona's historic firms, joined forces. The Bagués-Masriera firm remains active to this day.
