AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE COLLECTION OF 215 AVANT-GARDE PHOTOGRAPHS AND PHOTOGRAMS BY MIKHAIL MIKHAILOVICH TARKHANOV (RUSSIAN 1888-1962) comprising 215 avant-garde photographs and photograms of flora, landscapes, scenes from hunting, portraits of the artist and family; the smallest measuring 8.5 x 7.5 cm (3 3/8 x 3 in.), the largest: 8 x 12.5 cm (3 1/8 x 4 7/8 in.)LOT NOTESMikhail Tarkhanov was a Russian avant-garde graphic artist known for his abstract, water-based textured compositions. He graduated from the Stroganov Moscow State University of Arts and Industry in 1915, later enrolling at VKhUTEMAS, where he studied under Vasili Kandinsky and Vladimir Favorsky. From 1932 until his death, the exhibition of abstract art was banned, so he secretly pursued his abstract work while working officially for various Soviet institutions. He was able to exhibit his beautiful, unique compositions only a handful of times from 1919 to 1931, alongside artists such as Natan Altman, El Lissitzky, Kazimir Malevich, and Alexander Rodchenko. Much of his oeuvre has remained unseen until the present. Tarkhanov's works are included in the permanent collections of the State Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian State Museum, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, and at the Getty Center.The present album includes a large number of avant-garde photograms, with which Tarkhanov was experimenting in the 1920s along with El Lissitsky (Russian 1890-1941) and Georgiy Zimin (Russian 1900-1985).This lot comes from the collection of Viktor Kholodkov (1948-2015), who fulfilled his passion for books, avant-garde design and paper memorabilia by devoting his life to collecting and dealing of prominent works of Russian graphic art of the first half of the 20th century. The dedicated collector acquired a multitude of books and artworks throughout decades, meticulously labeling and archiving every single item. Many came directly from the most preeminent artists of the time, as well as from their families and estates. He also possessed a vast number of drawings from the famous collection of another avant-garde enthusiast, Nikolai Khardzhiev. After leaving the USSR in 1989 and settling in California, Viktor continued his work as a Soviet art dealer and critic, actively publishing various articles and contributing to several major Russian avant-garde exhibitions across the U.S., such as the 1991 Russia Under Fire in the 40s on the West Coast and the 1992 Guggenheim exhibition The Great Utopia: The Russian and Soviet Avant-Garde. Kholodkov also contributed to the archives of the biggest American institutions. His sophisticated selection of over 2000 Russian sheet music covers was acquired by The Library of Congress, and an extensive amount of material related to VKhUTEMAS is now at the J. Paul Getty Museum.This lot is being sold without reserve.

Beatles / Signed Birthday Card, Birthday card signed by all four Beatles to the vendor on her 16th birthday (see above for the full story) - 'Love to Susan' dedication above Paul's signature and 'Best Wishes' under John's - All signatures lovely and clear - Beautiful condition - written letter of provenance available from the VendorThis lot and the following five lots are all from the same vendor who tells her story below:In 1958, my Mother started working at London Airport (now Heathrow). She joined Starways, a small Liverpool based airline operating a daily DC3 aircraft to London.One day, she was asked to meet the aircraft and help four passengers who were transferring to a flight to Germany. It turned out to be the Beatles making a trip to Hamburg and their transfer proved to be a little more complicated than expected when it was realised that their passports had been left in Liverpool. Air travel was simpler in those days and my Mother was able to get authority for them to fly on to Germany without passports on the promise that she would get the passports sent on the next flight which she did. This could never happen today and the Beatles never forgot her help.On more than one occasion, they gave us complimentary tickets for their London shows. We were always given seats in the front row which meant we could just about hear what they were singing. Further back, the screams tended to drown out the music. After the concert, we would be collected and taken to see them all in their dressing room to chat and to get my autograph book signed.Over the years, Mother met and assisted many members of their families. In the school holidays, we would often fly up to Liverpool to meet up with her Starways friends and sometimes we would also see Paul McCartney's dad, Jim.In July 1965, it was the world premier of the film HELP. I went to London Airport to meet the families when they flew down for the celebrations. There were several chauffeured limousines to collect them and Jim and his wife Angie asked if I would like to ride into London with them. It was great fun because they were all so excited about the premier and it was the poshest car I had ever been in. I came home on the tube quite happily.After the premier, I again went to the airport to see them and to hear about the evening. As they went to board their flight, John's Aunt Mimi gave me her signed programme. I was so thrilled and it's been one of several items of memorabilia that I have treasured over the years. For my 16th birthday, my Mother got the boys to sign a birthday card to me - it was my best present that year.Starways was eventually taken over by British Eagle and I have two pictures of my Mother with the Beatles, taken on a British Eagle aircraft. For me, these pictures seem to encompass most of my Beatles memories and will always remind me just how lucky I have been.
