** Julie Mehretu (b. 1970) - Untitled, 2006 watercolour, pen and ink on paper 27 x 35 in., 68.6 x 88.9 cm (frame) Provenance: Carlier | Gebauer, Berlin. Of Ethiopian heritage, now living and working in New York, Mehretu's highly individualistic abstract language is born out of conflict and human strife. Her compositions are often marked with linear structures and hard-edged blocks that have an architectural quality to them. There is always a sense of drama or tension in the composition, which at times can spill over into outright confrontation. But the overall product is often beautiful and harmonious; it is as if she is telling us that Art, and the world of aesthetics, can overcome the human predilection for schism and hostility. She herself describes the works on paper from this period as: " Right now it just feels like this big knot of all these different tendencies. It s coming out in my drawings a lot; they look like these nests or gnarled webs. Space is deflated and conflated. I m still trying to understand it myself." [J. Mehretu, quoted in L. Chua, Artists in Conversation: Julie Mehretu , BOMB Magazine, no. 91, Spring 2005]. Julie Mehretu has become one of the most recognisable artists of the last 15 years, with multiple solo exhibitions in both commercial and institutional galleries worldwide. Selected group exhibitions include Poetic Justice , 8th Istanbul Biennial (2003); Whitney Biennial; São Paolo Biennial and Carnegie International, Pittsburgh (2004); the Biennale of Sydney and the Museum of Modern Art, New York (2006); From Picasso to Julie Mehretu , British Museum, London (2010) and Document XIII, Kassel (2012). Solo exhibitions include Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; REDCAT, Los Angeles and Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo (2003); St Louis Art Museum (2005) and MUSAC, Léon, Spain (2006); City Sitings , Detroit Institute of Art and Black City Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek, Denmark (2007); Grey Area , Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin (2009) and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (2010). In 2015 she was honoured with the US State Department's 'National Medal of Arts'.

A Roman marble head of a youth 3rd century AD; 14 cm (5,33 in) high; Possibly from a figure of Eros depicting as a child, luxuriant coiffure with finely sculpted center-parted tresses and wavy curling locks falling onto the upper part of both ears, the chubby face with lidded eyes with drilled pupils, the smiling mouth slightly open revealing the upper row of teeth, rounded cheeks and chin. For the style and in particular the treatment of the coiffure, compare the marble Portrait of a boy of Santa Maria degli Angeli Collection, Rome, inv. 12055, and a Roman copy of ca. 117-138 AD of an original Greek of the 5th century BC placed in the State Hermitage Museum of St. Petersburg. This portrait has been attributed to infant Caracalla due to various elements, such as tipology and the highly refined style REFERENCES: R. Friggeri, M. Magnani Cinetti, C. Carulo (ed. by), Terme di Diocleziano: il chiostro piccolo della Certosa di Santa Maria degli Angeli, p. 141, im. 36.4. PROVENANCE: Private Collection, England.

A Regency rosewood, parcel gilt and brass inlaid centre table, circa 1810, in the manner of Marsh and Tatham, after Henry Holland, the circular tilt top, above inlaid frieze on reeded column and triform pedestal with wing and claw feet 77cm high, 112cm diameter For a remarkably similar table see Sothebys, London 18th November 2008, lot 226 and another sold 'Property from Two Ducal Collections, Woburn Abbey, Bedford' Christie's house sale, 20-21 September 2004, lot 1150 This table is closely associated to a group in the late Georgian style promoted by the architect Henry Holland. Holland's designs were in part inspired by his pupil, Charles Heathcote Tatham made during a visit to Rome in the last decade of the 18th century. Henry Holland is considered to have collaborated with the furniture makers William Marsh and Thomas Tatham in the design of closely related tables for Hollands project of Southill Park, Bedfordshire. It is also significant that Thomas Tatham's brother Charles Heathcote Tatham was employed by the firm and therefore may have contributed to the designs for this commission (G. Jackson Stops, Southill Park, Country Life, 28 April 1994, fig 11) Marsh and Tatham also worked with Henry Holland and Dominique Daguerre for the Duke of Bedford at Woburn and for the Prince of Wales at Carlton House (C. Gilbert and G. Beard, Dictionary of English Furniture Makers, 1660-1840, Leeds, 1986, pp 623-624) A library table with an almost identical pillar and base, recorded in the Heathcote collection at Normanton Park, Rutland is illustrated in M.
