Snow, Michael Ayrton, Drawings & Sculpture, Cory, Adams & Mackay, London, 1966, no. 20, illustratedIn May 1956, while travelling in Italy, Ayrton visited Cumae, just west of Naples - site of one of the oldest Greek colonies in Italy and fabled home of the Cumaean Sibyl, one of the most notable oracles of Antiquity. It was an experience which marked a turning point in his career; the beginning of an involvement with the Greek myths of Daedalus and Icarus, the Minotaur and the Oracle, which he himself described as obsessive, and which defined his art thereafter. Initially, however, it was as much the place itself as its legendary past which fascinated him: for days he sat on a terrace halfway up the slope of the Acropolis, drawing the landscape. This quickly attracted the attention of the local population, especially the small boys who herded the goats belonging to the nearby village. Out of this came a series of drawings of goats, including the present lot. The following year, back in his studio, he painted the large Cumaean Sibyl, a landscape which interweaves mythic past and prosaic present, and in which goats (a traditional feature of both) play a prominent part. The resemblance between the foreground goat and the present lot is clear. This process of overlapping past with present, myth with reality lay at the core of Ayrton's work - he referred to it as a 'kind of temporary truth in split time', and it fed his sense of myth as something that could, and should, be as relevant to contemporary experience as to the ancient world. Things of the world around him, vineyards and archaeological excavations, RAF pilots and astronauts in training - and goats - acted as the anchors he used to bring ancient stories alive for a modern audience. But above all he drew for the joy of drawing (virtually every day of his life from the age of 14 until his death at 54), and he always enjoyed drawing goats.We are grateful to Dr Justine Hopkins for her assistance in cataloguing this lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Franz Westo.T.1976Mischtechnik auf Papier; gerahmt23 x 34 cmRückseitig signiert und datiert: West 76direkt vom Künstler erhalten;seither österreichischer PrivatbesitzDie frühen 1970er-Jahre sind für Franz West von seinem Kampf um Anerkennung geprägt. Künstlerisch setzt er sich mit den verschiedensten Richtungen auseinander, wie der Conceptual Art, mit Marcel Duchamp und Cy Twombly und der Minimal Art. "An den Werken der 1970er-Jahre sieht man, wie er sich an den Ismen abgearbeitet hat, sie haben eine unglaubliche Bandbreite." (Klaus Albrecht Schröder (Hg.), The Beginning. Kunst in Österreich 1945 bis 1980, Ausstellungskatalog, Albertina modern, Wien 2020, S. 578)Wesentlicher Bestandteil des frühen Werks sind die Collagen. Franz West verwendet dafür vorgefundenes Bildmaterial, gerne aus Reklameprospekten, das er durch Zu- und Übermalungen verfremdet und diesem so neue Bedeutung verleiht. Anklänge an dadaistische Collagen lassen sich ebenso erkennen, wie Franz Wests Bewunderung für den Pop-Art Künstler Richard Hamilton. "Die in den Werbematerialien vorgefundenen Gesichter werden im Sinne von Ready-Mades eingesetzt" (Veit Loers, Franz West, Köln 2006, S, S. 20), indem sie, ihrer bisherigen Funktion entkleidet, in einen gänzlich neuen Bedeutungszusammenhang gesetzt werden.Vier nackte Figuren, weiß gemalte Körper mit collagierten Köpfen, stehen vor einem roten Theatervorhang. Somit verorten wir sie nicht vor einem abstrakten Grund, sondern in einem Bühnenraum. Die Köpfe sind teilweise übermalt, wodurch sie wie "angefressen" wirken, "aus Halbprofilen werden verkürzte Profile à la Picasso" (Loers, S. 21 f.), die Gesichter können gleichzeitig en face und im Profil gesehen werden. Franz West greift also malerisch rigide in die Collage ein. Wir sehen zwei männliche Körper mit ejakulierenden Penissen, das weibliche Geschlecht und die Brustwarzen sind farblich hervorgehoben. Ein Frauenkopf auf einem männlichen Körper sorgt für zusätzliche Irritation. Eigentlich haben die Assemblagen Franz Wests mit herkömmlichen Collagen wenig zu tun, weil sie von Anfang an inhaltlich und nicht formal motiviert sind. Das ewige Lächeln der Werbefiguren steht hier isoliert und in seiner grundlosen Heiterkeit, "in seiner Selbstreferenz zur Lächerlichkeit erstarrt" (Loers, S. 21) da.(Sophie Cieslar)

Norbertine Bresslern-RothZwei Eisbärenum 1922Pastell auf Papier; gerahmt75 x 149 cmSigniert links unten: N. B.-Roth.Privatsammlung, Steiermark2003 Graz, St. Veiter SchlösslMichael Stoff (Hg.), Bresslern-Roth. Eine Hommage im St. Veiter Schloessl zu Graz, Graz 2003, Abb. S. 150;Christa Steinle (Hg.), Norbertine Bresslern-Roth. Tiermalerin, Ausstellungskatalog, Neue Galerie Graz Universalmuseum Joanneum, 26.10.2016-17.04.2017, Graz 2016, Abb. S. 119Eisbären haben zurzeit ein tragisches Schicksal. Sie leiden stark unter dem vom Klimawandel bedingten Verschwinden des Eises in den Polargebieten.Norbertine Bresslern-Roth (1891-1978), die sich explizit "Tiermalerin" nannte, war Tieren gegenüber stets empathisch. Die Inhalte ihrer Malerei beschränken sich im Wesentlichen auf die eigene Interpretation der Tierwelt. Man kann das nur bedingt als dokumentarisch beschreiben. Ihr Stil, den man aus der Tradition des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts verstehen muss – Symbolismus, Klassizismus und Jugendstil, – wirkt selten modern und er ist zudem ein ganzes Malerinnenleben lang weitestgehend unverändert geblieben. In den meisten Tierbildern offenbart sich die scheinbar grenzenlose Tierliebe der Künstlerin. Tiere sind für sie dem Menschen sehr nahe. Ihre Art sich zu bewegen, ihre Gesichtsausdrücke, ihre Familienstrukturen, all das erzeugt zusätzlich eine emotionale Nähe zu diesen Lebewesen. Auch diese Eisbären sind in ihrer Eleganz kaum zu überbieten und die Delikatesse der Malerei ist typisch für die Künstlerin. Im eigentlich absolut weißen Fell der Tiere und der eisigen polaren Umgebung findet die Malerin eine Unzahl an Farbwerten, die sie einsetzen kann, um die Tiere noch attraktiver in Szene zu setzen. Durch die Farbgebung mutet das Fell fast dekorativ an. Die Bewegungen der Tiere auf dem Eis, ihre selbstverständliche Vorsicht dabei, zeigen die Eisbären unglaublich lebendig und authentisch. Bresslern-Roth kannte solche Tiere von ihren ständigen Zoo-Besuchen in verschiedenen Städten Europas.Mit dem Dekorativen bzw. dem Ornamentalen hatte die Künstlerin nie Probleme. Ihre künstlerische Herkunft ist dafür mitverantwortlich. Sosehr ihr die Inhalte – Tiere und deren Schicksal, Glück oder Not – am Herzen lagen, hatte sie doch auch starke formale Ambitionen. Sie blieb immer gegenständlich, sie wollte klare und in der Farbe starke Formen schaffen sowie die Linienführung zur Darstellung der Bewegung voll ausschöpfen. Formal ging es also grundsätzlich um Gewichtsverteilung innerhalb der Bildkomposition.Norbertine Bresslern-Roth, die als Frau in Wien auf der Akademie nicht zugelassen wurde, hatte aber bei Ferdinand Schmutzer Privatunterricht und nutzte sein Atelier auf der Akademie. In der NS-Zeit nahm die Künstlerin Aufträge an, stellte regelmäßig aus und war erfolgreich. Sie verhielt sich äußerlich weitestgehend angepasst, hatte sie doch ihren Ehemann und "Manager" Georg Ritter von Bresslern und Sternau zu schützen, dessen Mutter jüdisch war.(Günther Holler-Schuster)

Andy Warhol (Pittsburgh 1928 - New York 1987). Aus: Ladies and Gentleman. 1975. Farbsiebdruck. 110 x 73,5 cm. Verso mit Bleistift sign. und dat. Andy Warhol 75 sowie num. 25/125, unter Glas gerahmt. Die Modelle der 'Ladies and Gentleman' fand Warhol in der Subkultur der New Yorker Kneipen und Nachtclubs. Manche von ihnen gehörten Minderheiten an, und ihr Leben abseits des gesellschaftlichen Mainstreams faszinierte den Künstler im Laufe seines Schaffens immer wieder. Mit dem Gespür des Künstlers wandte Warhol sich bereits 1975 Lebensentwürfen zu, die erst Jahrzehnte später eine breitere Aufmerksamkeit im öffentlichen Diskurs erhalten sollten. Die 'Ladies and Gentleman' stellen, wie Warhol selbst formulierte, eine ‘ideale Weiblichkeit‘ dar. - Literatur: WVZ: Feldmann/Schellmann II.135 - Maler, Graphiker, Filmemacher und Verleger, einer der bedeutendsten Vetreter der Pop Art. Seine seriellen Werke mit der Darstellung von Konsumgütern und Prominenten gehören zu den teuersten Ikonen der Gegenwartskunst. W. begann in den 50er Jahren als Werbegraphiker und gehörte bald zu deren hochbezahlter Elite. Bereits 1956 stellte er im MoMA aus, spätestens seit Mitte der 60er Jahre zählte er zur internationalen Avantgarde der Kunstwelt. W. hatte zahlreiche Ausstellungen, u.a. mehrfach auf der Documenta. Durch die serielle Wiederholung eines Motivs, häufig mit absichtlich ungenauem Farbauftrag, lenkt W. unsere Aufmerksamkeit auf die Manipulierbarkeit unserer Wahrnehmung durch die Medien. Mus.: New York (MoMA, Metrop. Mus., Whitney Mus.), London (Tate Modern), Los Angeles (Mus. of Contemp. Art), Pittsburgh (Andy-Warhol-Mus.), Köln (Mus. Ludwig) u.a. Lit.: Feldmann/Schellmann: A catalogue raisonné, 1985 u.a.

2005 BAE Vantare Transmission: automaticMileage:35591The BAE Vantare  is the brainchild of actor, television presenter, engineer and former professional footballer, Bradley Walsh. It is rumoured that Mr. Walsh drove a DB5 and wasn't too enamoured by the experience so set about creating a car with super stylish looks and modern day mechanicals. Hence the BAE Vantare was born.Based on a 2005 Aston Martin DB9 the car was stripped to the chassis and rebodied with the exquisite design named the Vantare. Clearly styling was a massive focus point on this project and it would appear the professional design and manufacturing team interpreted Mr Walsh's brief with enormous attention to detail. Often cars designed in low numbers can be disproportionate in their shape. This is not the case with the BAE Vantare. The curvaceous lines of this delightfully handsome car will ensure admiring glances from every angle. Under the bonnet is the well tried and tested 6.0 V12 powerplant of the DB9, ensuring performance, a sonorous sound track and power all in one package. We are informed state of the art materials were used in the make-up of this coachbuilt car including the bodywork in carbon fibre composites. LED lighting adorns the exterior and the metallic grey (Silver Birch esq) paintwork is in excellent order. Open the door and a host of buttons and knobs welcome the occupants. Drive is selected by push button and the re-designed dashboard incorporates a large display screen. The uniquely trimmed seats have been crafted very well as has the steering wheel, embossed with the Vantare logo.713 XUK was chassis number 001 of the project and was utilised as a publicity and press car.  It is our understanding that the car was very well received and always generates enormous interest on the road. A very limited production run of the BAE Vantare was planned, all bespoke to customer order  and indeed, it is understood that only three cars were manufactured, the last of which sold for £330,000. This is an unrepeatable opportunity to purchase the very first example of this stunning coachbuilt Grand Tourer.Photographs courtesy of TAZ BROTHERTON (www.tazbrophotography.com)Photograph of Bradley Walsh and the BAE Vantare reproduced by kind permission of Steve Camplin
