Lucio Fontana (Italian, 1899-1968)Crocifisso 1948-1950 painted and glazed ceramic37 by 21.6 by 12.8 cm.14 9/16 by 8 1/2 by 5 1/16 in.This work was executed in 1948-1950.Footnotes:This work is registered in the Fondazione Lucio Fontana, Milan, under no. 2240/16, and is accompanied by a photo-certificate of authenticity.ProvenancePrivate Collection, FranceAcquired directly from the above by the present ownerA work of supreme, transcendent beauty, Lucio Fontana's Crocifisso (1948-1950) is a sterling demonstration of the artist's ineffable capacity for pushing his materials and methods to their technical limits. Appearing to emerge from the lustrous black of the painted ceramic cross, arms raised aloft, Fontana's Christ is a devotional image laden with Baroque curlicues, spiritual force, and aesthetic drama that is prototypical of the Spazialismo movement Fontana founded in 1947. An artist revolutionising the aesthetic and theoretical parameters of art in the traumatic fallout of World War II, Fontana's importance as a figurehead of the Modern period cannot be understated. Moulded, painted, and fired during this hugely influential period of cultural redefinition, the present Crocifisso is testament to Fontana's lifelong appreciation of art as a key to the nether dimensions, a means to communicate with and pass through the envelope of our veiled perception. A sculpture of enduring beauty, with comparable works held in the collection of MoMA, New York, and the Musei Vaticani, Rome Fontana's Crocifissioni have formed key displays in retrospective exhibitions of the artist's oeuvre, most recently at the Terra e Oro (Earth and Gold) exhibition at Galleria Borghese in Rome. Over the course of one of the most subversive and thought-provoking careers, Fontana consistently challenged predetermined notions of creative methodology. Whilst tackling one of the oldest themes of art history, Fontana's Crocifisso presents a timeless vision of Christ in flux, the feathered tips of clay forming ornate leaves that reach into space, creating deep crevices between the limbs of the soaring Messiah and dissolving the distinction between the body and its support. 'We live in the mechanical age', the artist declared in the Manifesto Blanco, published in Buenos Aires in 1946, 'painted canvas and upright plaster no longer have any reason to exist' ('Manifesto Blanco', 1946 in E. Crispolti and R. Siligato Eds., Lucio Fontana, Milan 1998, p.115). Expressing one of the starkest images of human suffering, Fontana's Crocifisso emerges in the aftermath of global violence and captures the the vision of an artwork that goes beyond its medium and beyond the conditions of the present reality, materialising from a blackened precipice. A glazed ceramic that floats and twists with the weightlessness of silk drapery, the present work belies the weight of its earthenware, disguised under ethereal threads of clay and paint. Fontana's sculptures remain overlooked as fundamental objects that offer a significant insight into the artist's practice. Originally trained as a sculptor, first under his father Luigi, before studying at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan between 1928 and 1930, Fontana's relationship and theoretical interest in the space occupied and delineated by the art object is, first and foremost, grounded in his understanding of sculpture. In the present work this becomes tacitly clear. Modeling and moulding the clay with his hands, the Crocifisso boasts an immaculate surface of fleurettes, crevices and cascades, coalescing and springing from the body of the clay, realising Fontana's vision of 'neither painting nor sculpture [...] but [a] continuity of space in matter' (the artist in: E. Crispolti and R. Siligato Eds., Lucio Fontana, Rome 1998, p.118). Not only is Christ present as a being that transcends notions of the physical and spiritual worlds, but also as one who passes between dimensions, emerging from a lucid, alien form that conjures images of galaxies, neutron stars and the sprawling material of the monumental cosmos. The timelessness and supernatural appearance of Fontana's Crocifisso demonstrates the incredible ability of the artist to synthesise art historical, material and stylistic tropes into a single, radical form. To Fontana, '[the] Baroque was a leap ahead [...] it represented space with a magnificence that is still unsurpassed and added the notion of time to the plastic arts. The figures seemed to abandon the flat surface and continue the represented movements in space' ('Manifesto Blanco', 1946, in op. cit.). Projecting from the corpus of the ceramic, the stylistic character of the work is compelling and dynamic, channeling the energy of El Greco's florid Christ on the Cross (1600-1610) with the solidarity of its making. A breathtaking sculpture whose delicacy and craftsmanship is matched by its impassioned visual power, Fontana's Crocifisso is a rare and extraordinary artwork by one of the most important artists of the Twentieth Century.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

Manuel Rivera (Spanish, 1927-1995)Metamorfosis (Imagen) 1960 signed on the inside of the frame; signed, titled, dated 1960 and variously inscribed on the reverse of the framemesh and wire in metal frame81 by 60 cm.31 7/8 by 23 5/8 in.Footnotes:We are most grateful to Mr. Alfonso de la Torre for the information he has kindly provided.ProvenancePrivate Collection, ItalyAcquired directly from the above by the present ownerLiteratureMiguel Logroño, 1956-1981 Manuel Rivera: Los dos lados del espejo, Madrid 1981, p. 54, listedMarisa Rivera, Aproximación a un Catálogo Razonado, 1943-1994, Madrid 1997, p. 182, listedAlfonso de la Torre, Manuel Rivera, Catálogo Razonado de Pinturas, 1943 - 1994, Madrid 2009, p. 167, no. [232] P-60-17, listedFloating in a sturdy but subtle framework, the complex layers of wire netting of Metamorfosis (Imagen) are superimposed and set against each other at different levels to build an imaginative landscape of forms and depth. The work beautifully displays the formal simplicity of abstraction whilst forever changing depending on light and shadow, as well as the viewers position and emotions when viewing the work. Rivera was never tempted by sculpture or cold kinetic experimentation, he referred to his works as paintings and the expressive interplay of mesh and light with its hypnotic moiré pattern create an experience akin to the works of the Abstract Expressionists. Although Rivera's work is more abstract than that of his fellow El Paso members, he too was influenced by his environment and so we can see history, nostalgia and the artists personal memories, especially of his childhood in Grenada and of the Alhambra, woven into the mesh of his oeuvre. Rivera liked to find poetic pretexts and reference points for his paintings, and he was greatly influenced by cinema, a true symbol of modernity. In his Metamorfosis works he paid tribute to Ingmar Bergman, and not only did he meet his wife at the Regio cinema in Granada, Rivera also found artistic inspiration when he encountered some wire mesh prophetically hanging in the air in a hardware shop window on his way to the cinema. After seeing 'Black Orpheus' by Marcel Camus in 1959 he subtitled two of his Metamorfosis pieces 'Orfeo' and 'Eurídice' and increasingly played with the idea of the image and mirrors in his titles. Like Orpheus crosses the mirror, or Alice the looking glass, the viewer of his subtly manipulated, shimmering metallic paintings is transported to infinite unknown worlds. Executed in 1960, Metamorfosis (Imagen) stems from one of most productive and successful periods of Manuel Rivera's artistic production. Following the devastation of the civil war and confronted with the challenges that modern art faced in Spain at the time, Rivera pursued similar goals to the American Abstract Expressionists in the late 1950s and gradually moved away from a traditional figurative painting style towards abstraction. Along with fellow artists such as Antonio Saura, Manolo Millares, Luis Feito and Rafael Canogar, all of whom were instrumental in defining the Spanish avant-garde of the Post-War era, he co-founded the El Paso movement in 1957. By 1960, the year the present work was executed, Rivera had already found broad international recognition, having exhibited at the 4th Biennial of São Paulo in 1957 and the 29th Venice Biennale in 1958. His works are included in the permanent collections of such prestigious international institutions as the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, MOMA and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Tate Gallery in London, among others.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

Les Jumeaux, II, 1963 – 1969 with its paired back palette of ochre and earthen tones is a consummate example of the artist's work, combining the aesthetic and theoretical power of Surrealism and Cubism with Lam's own aesthetic flavour. In 1918, Lam began his studies at the Escuela de Bellas Artes in Havana, where he would be trained in academic painting, however the academic conservatism of the Bellas Artes did not inspire the artist and in 1923, with the aid of a scholarship Lam would travel across the Atlantic to Madrid, setting the scene for the beginning of his artistic development. In 1938, Lam moved to Paris, where he would meet some of the leading artists of the time including Pablo Picasso, a great admire of his work, Picasso would go on to collect many of his paintings. Marking a significant turning point in his career, it was in Paris that the artist would come into contact with African Art and Surrealism, which would have a huge impact on the development of his work. With the outbreak of World War II, Lam was forced to flee France and return to Cuba, only returning to Europe after the war. This powerful encounter between Cuban culture and avant-garde Europe would allow Lam to produce some of the most powerful and striking images of the twentieth century. An impressive and sophisticated work, created in two stages over a six-year period, Les Jumeaux, II (The Twins) incorporates the aesthetic qualities learnt during his time in Europe with elements of Cuban and Lam's own personal culture. Bound together in a totemic and disconnected embrace, reminiscent of Chinese symbols, the present work derives much of its inspiration from Cubism, the geometric composition and palette invoking Pablo Picasso's Girl with a Mandolin, 1910. While Picasso's deconstructive masterpiece retains its figurative femininity, Lam uses symbolism to create a purely representational image, one that looks beyond the female form. Inspired by the Cuban Santería religion, which finds its origins in Yoruba and West African traditions as well as savage Spanish Catholicism, the twins known as Ibeye – the catholic equivalents of Saint Cosmas and Saint Damian – are depicted. Descendants of the god of lightening, the Ibeye are sacred among the Yoruba and are considered to be the guardians and protectors of priests and houses. An enigmatic image, Lam reaches between the familiar and the unknown, projecting the viewer into an irrational and imaginary world.A giant of the avant-garde, Wifredo Lam's work can be found in the collections of public and private museums across the world including; The MoMA in New York; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Havana; the Museum of Modern Art in Brussels; the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. among many others. In 2016 his work was celebrated in the landmark retrospective at the Tate Modern, London to great acclaim.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

Yan Pei-Ming (Chinese, born 1960)Paysage International, retour sur le lieu du crime 003 1999  signed in Pinyin, signed in Chinese, titled and dated 1999 on the reverseoil on canvas180 by 300.5 cm.70 7/8 by 118 5/16 in.Footnotes:ProvenanceBernier/Eliades, AthensAcquired directly from the above by the present owner in 1999ExhibitedAthens, Bernier/Eliades, Yan Pei-Ming, 1999, no. 4LiteratureFrancesco Bonami, Yan Pei-Ming, New York 2017, p. 104, illustrated in colourWith works held in the collections of the world's most prominent institutions including the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris and the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, Yan Pei-Ming's career has soared since his beginnings creating propaganda frescoes idealizing popular heroes of the Cultural Revolution. In 1980 the artist left for France, where he would develop his signature style of over-sized portraits and anonymous landscapes in palettes of black, white and red. Recognized today as one of China's most important contemporary artists, his work is currently being celebrated in a landmark exhibition at the Petit Palais, Paris.Impressive in scale and reproduced in Francesco Bonami's monumental monograph on the artist, Paysage International, retour sur le lieu du crime 003 depicts an impenetrable blackened scene, one that is both everywhere and nowhere; a disquieting image that is further compounded by the work's title. As described by the artist, 'if you paint a landscape, often it is seductive. 'Yes, this is a pretty landscape.' If you title it 'Lieu du Crime' [Scene of the crime], however, something happens. It's as if you are walking down the street and someone says to you, 'A man was killed here a while ago.' Suddenly the place acquires a history.' (the artist in: 'Chinese Kungfu: Fabian Stech, interview with Yan Pei-Ming,' in Yan Pei-Ming, Execution , Dijon 2006, p.43). The image becomes emotionally charged, compelling the viewer to assign personal meaning to it. Oscillating between gestural representation and abstraction, his singularity of subject matter in conjunction with his use of infinite tautology impresses upon his works' collective character. A timeless beauty, the anonymity of the landscape becomes steeped with meaning, visible not only in the title but in the artist's subtle use of textures, revealing a tactile and layered surface. Executed with both speed and precision and without the use of sketches, Yan Pei-Ming work only seeks to reinforce the importance of the gesture and ultimately the act of painting itself.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: AR TPAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.TP Lots denoted with a 'TP' will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

* SHEILA MACMILLAN DA PAI (SCOTTISH 1928 - 2018), FROM GESTO (GESTO BAY, ISLE OF SKYE) oil on board, signed; titled and dated 'Tuesday, 6.6.06' verso 45cm x 60cm Framed and under glass. Note: Sheila Macnab Macmillan was born in Glasgow in 1928. She attained a degree in Geography at Glasgow University and went on to train as a teacher. However, she had always painted and her talent was strongly encouraged by her uncle the distinguished Iain Macnab (1890 - 1967) who persuaded Sheila to come to London and train under him. Iain Macnab had been Principal at Heatherley's Art School (1925 - 1940) and then went on to be founding Principal of the hugely influential Grosvenor School of Modern Art. Sheila's London influences and Glasgow School foundations evolved into a distinctive and individual style. She usually worked "en plein air" and her work is semi abstract. She focused mainly on landscape where her training as a geographer, allowed her to use her understanding of land formation, the delicate balance of the seasons and the interaction between Man and the environment. Her uncle's concept of "rhythm" is evident in Sheila's work and remained a constant throughout her career. She painted in Scotland, Spain. France and Italy and exhibited widely especially in Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and Newcastle. Her work appeared frequently at the Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Glasgow Institute, Paisley Art Institute annual exhibitions and at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (London). She won numerous awards and prizes over a long and distinguished career.
