Andy Warhol 1928 Pittsburgh - 1987 New York Shoes (Deluxe Edition). 1980. Serigrafie mit Diamantstaub. Feldman/Schellmann/Defendi II.250. Verso signiert und nummeriert '1/1' und beichnet 'PP' sowie 'DE'. Einziges Printers-Proof-Exemplar, außerhalb der Auflage von 10. Auf festem Aquarellpapier von Arches. 102 x 151,5 cm (40,1 x 59,6 in), blattgroß. Blatt 3 der fünfteiligen Folge 'Shoes (Deluxe Edition)'. Gedruckt von Rupert Jasen Smith, New York (mit dem Trockenstempel). Herausgegeben von Andy Warhol (verso mit dem Copyright-Stempel des Künstlers). [JS]. • Warhols exzentrisch-plakative Schöpfungen gelten als Ikonen der amerikanischen Pop-Art. • Glamourös schimmernde Wirkung aufgrund des seltenen, großflächigen Einsatzes von Diamond Dust. • Sehr selten. Einziges Printers-Proof-Exemplar außerhalb der Auflage von nur zehn Exemplaren. • Basierend auf einer fotografischen Vorlage Andy Warhols, die im Zuge eines Werbeshootings entstanden ist. PROVENIENZ: Hamilton Selway Fine Art, West Hollywood. Privatsammlung Süddeutschland (1999 vom Vorgenannten erworben, bis 2020). Privatsammlung Europa (seit 2020). 'I'm doing shoes because I'm going back to my roots. In fact, I think maybe I should do nothing but shoes from now on.' Andy Warhol, zit. nach: P. Hackett (Hrsg.), The Andy Warhol Diaries, New York 1989, S. 306. Andy Warhol gilt international als Protagonist der amerikanischen Nachkriegskunst und hat sich als extrovertierter Sonderling mit dunkler Sonnenbrille und weiß-blond gefärbter Perücke in unser kollektives Gedächtnis eingegraben. Plakativ und auffällig sind auch Warhols Schöpfungen, die als Ikonen der amerikanischen Pop-Art gelten. Dass Warhol eigentlich ein zurückhaltender Einzelgänger gewesen ist, der sich mit dieser schrillen Erscheinung ab den 1960er Jahren eine Art Maskierung und zugleich sein Markenzeichen geschaffen hat, ist weniger bekannt. Erst am College of Fine Arts in seiner Heimatstadt Pittsburgh kann der schmächtige, ewig blasse Student aufgrund seiner herausragenden künstlerischen Begabung das Trauma des Ausgeschlossenseins überwinden. Die Kunst bietet dem Einzelgänger Warhol Zeit seines Lebens Anerkennung und Rückzugsort zugleich: Als zeichnender oder später auch fotografierender Beobachter wird er zum künstlerischen Chronisten des amerikanischen Nachkriegsbooms. 1949 geht Warhol mit gerade 21 Jahren nach New York, wo er zunächst als Werbegrafiker arbeitet. Seinen ersten Auftrag erhält er im Herbst 1949 für das 'Glamour'-Magazin, für welches er seine ersten Schuhzeichnungen anfertigt, die in ihrem streng linearen Stil für sein gesamtes weiteres Schaffen wegweisend sind. Ab den 1970er Jahren wird mit dem Erwerb seiner ersten Polaroid Big Shot Camera der Fotoapparat zu Warhols ständigem Begleiter. Auch Warhols Malerei und Grafik basiert seitdem meist auf eigenen Fotografien oder auf fotografischen Vorlagen aus Zeitungen und Werbeanzeigen. Auch unsere großformatige, schwarze Serigrafie, die durch den flächigen Einsatz von wunderbar glitzerndem Diamond Dust eine einzigartige Oberflächenwirkung und einen glamourösen Ausdruck erreicht, basiert auf einer fotografischen Vorlage des Künstlers. Sie ist Teil einer ikonischen Folge von nur fünf Serigrafien, die in einer schwarzen Deluxe-Edition von nur zehn Exemplaren erschienen ist. Diese kleine Folge bringt in besonderer Weise Warhols Faszination für Glamour und Luxus zum Ausdruck und spannt zugleich den Bogen zu den künstlerischen Anfängen, Warhols frühen Schuhzeichnungen als junger Werbegrafiker. Bob Colacello, der Herausgeber des 'Interview Magazine', erinnert sich folgendermaßen an den initiierenden Moment für diese in Warhols grafischem Schaffen farblich wie technisch herausragende Folge: “A big box of shoes was sent down to Warhol to be photographed for an ad campaign. An assistant turned the box upside down and dumped the shoes out. Andy liked the way they spilled all over the floor so he took a few Polaroids [..]”. Es war also lediglich dieser kurze, zufällige Moment, den Warhol aufgrund seiner einzigartigen Spontanität und Kreativität künstlerisch erfolgreich für sich zu nutzen wusste.

A collection of correspondence including autograph letters signed, autograph Christmas cards signed, signed & inscribed book, autograph note signed etc., c.1973-1978, to the interior designer Georgina Fairholme (1921-2019.)

Items include 25 line Autograph Letter Signed, [nd], circa 1973, content re decoration of Onassis’s Manhattan apartment as photographed by Horst P. Horst and featured in the June 1973 issue of Vogue. "Miss Fairholme- When you arrange the library-I'm sure you'll want to make the books a bit neater-all the things I haven't gotten around to yet- In the closet by the bar-underneath- there are some Tanagra figures- They used to look nice among the books- but now I don't think they will...- + the weird little fertility figure was the first thing excavated at Sumer- The bottle encrusted with shells - which now blazes forth from the middle of the bookcase - John made for me- + next to it I put a mushroom I brought back from the jungle around Angkor Wat - so please don't throw it out- And the festering pomander ball that Caroline made- you can hide it - but please don't throw it out either- And under the bar is a piece of black coral I dove very deep for in Yucatan- I guess we'll have to do another room to get all my Collier brother treasures in it- Anyway have fun and move all the furniture you want...thanks so much J. Onassis", on a sheet of lined paper 28 x 21.5cm, loosely inserted in the corresponding issue of Vogue magazine, September 1 1973, Number 11, with the double page colour illustrated feature on her redecorated New York apartment library by Cultra-Fairholme; Autograph Letter Signed, 25 lines plus additional sketch of a room lay out on separate sheet and colour photograph of an Indian bedspread "Dear Miss Fairholm [sic]- I should be back by March 4 - so perhaps we can see each other that week - i'll call you then. I took this polaroid of an Indian bedspread like 2 that are in the living room in Greece...I don't suppose one could find the same - at Azuma - or Sorva the Golden One - If not - at least it gives you an idea of whats there now...I enclose a sketch of the room -not that you need it! + the picture + label from the spread - I can't wait to see the house - it will soon be so pretty...thank you so much sincerely Jacqueline Onassis...", with photograph, sketch, label and original hand written addressed envelope by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis; plus similar 11 line ALS, two Autograph Christmas cards signed in red ink "for Dear Georgina with much love at Christmas Jackie", Autograph note Signed "good luck and congratulations dear Georgina! much love Jackie" on blue personal printed card and matching printed envelope "1040 Fifth Avenue New York 10028", together with 'In the Russian Style', edited Jacqueline Onassis, New York, The Viking Press, 1976, 1st softcover edition, signed & inscribed on half title in green ink "For Georgina who does wonders In the Fairholme Style affectionately Jacqueline Onassis December 1976", illustrated throughout, original colour pictorial wraps, with four packets of souvenir views of St. Petersburg, Peterhof Palace, Catherine Palace etc. circa 1960's, plus two A.S. Onassis printed stationery card/envelope sets by Tiffany & Co New York, and two other envelopes. Jacqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis (née Bouvier, 1929–1994) was an American socialite, writer, photographer, and book editor who served as the first lady of the United States from 1961 to 1963, as the wife of President John F. Kennedy. A popular first lady, she endeared the American public with her devotion to her family, dedication to the historic preservation of the White House, the campaigns she led to preserve and restore historic landmarks and architecture along with her interest in American history, culture and arts. During her lifetime, she was regarded as an international icon for her unique fashion choices, and her work as a cultural ambassador of the United States made her very popular globally. After the assassination and funeral of her husband in 1963, Kennedy and her children largely withdrew from public view. In 1968, she married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, which caused controversy. Following Onassis's death in 1975, she had a career as a book editor in New York City, first at Viking Press and then at Doubleday, and worked to restore her public image. Even after her death, she ranks as one of the most popular and recognizable first ladies in American history, and in 1999, she was listed as one of Gallup's Most-Admired Men and Women of the 20th century. She died in 1994 and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery alongside John F. Kennedy and the two children who had predeceased them. Georgine Fairholme was born in London, 18 August 1927, and attended St Martin’s School of Art in London. She subsequently worked at interior designer Joy King’s Elizabeth Eaton shop in Belgravia before joining the esteemed London firm Colefax & Fowler in 1964, where she became a protégé of decorator John Fowler, founder of the firm. She re-located to New York to work in the firm’s Manhattan office and later joined Rose Cumming, in whose studio she presumably met the designer Harrison Cultra (1941-1983.) Together they formed the Cultra-Fairholme partnership, clients included Richard H. Jenrette and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis amongst others. Following the dissolution of the partnership, in 1978 she opened her own firm in New York City in a fiercely competitive sector but ran a book with many famous and notable clients including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon as well as Mr. and Mrs. John Hay “Jock” Whitney. In 1986, Architectural Digest called Fairholme the “doyenne of English Country Style.” In addition to designing interiors, she designed furniture, china, fabrics and wall coverings. On retirement she moved to Italy thence for the last 17 years of her life to Lavenham, Suffolk. She died in Bury St Edmunds 27 August 2019 – soon after her 92nd birthday. Provenance by descent

DENZLER, ANDY1965 ZürichTitel: "Just Another Day in Paradise". Datierung: 2013. Technik: Öl auf Leinwand. Maße: 170 x 180cm. Bezeichnung: Bezeichnet, betitelt, signiert und datiert verso rechts: #2221 Just Another Day in Paradise Denzler 2013. Provenienz:- Galerie Michael Schultz, Berlin- Privatsammlung Süddeutschland (seit 2017)- Harmonischer Farbraum mit ausgearbeiteter inhaltlicher Ebene- Charakteristische Formensprache Andy Denzlers- Zentrale Arbeit aus der gefragten Werkreihe "Motion Pictures""She calls out to the man on the street: Sir, can you help me?" beginnt der weltbekannte Song von Phil Collins, mit dem sich die vorliegende Arbeit des Schweizer Künstlers Andy Denzler den Titel teilt. In einem schlichten, farbigen T-Shirt - die Hände lässig in den Hosentaschen - und mit einer hellen Hose und Sneakers bekleidet, steht ein junger Mann mitten auf der Straße im Zentrum des Bildes. Ist er der Mann, den die namenlose Protagonistin aus Collins' Song um Hilfe bittet? Sind somit wir als Betrachter des Werkes selbst die hilfesuchenden Protagonisten? Denzler versteht es meisterlich verschiedene kulturelle Strömungen in seinen Werken in den Dialog treten zu lassen. Doch es ist nicht nur die inhaltliche Ebene, die die vorliegende Arbeit zu einem besonders charakteristischen Werk des Künstlers erklärt. Auch die einzigartige Arbeitsweise Denzlers, die ihm zu globaler Anerkennung geführt hat, tritt in dem Werk sehr deutlich zutage. Denzlers Oeuvre ist geprägt von harmonischen, erdigen Farben, die den Betrachter fast schon an die Farbräume aus der Polaroid-Fotografie erinnern. Dieses nostalgische Moment wird noch verstärkt mit denen für Denzler so typischen "Bildstörungen", die der Künstler in die noch nasse Oberfläche seiner frischen Werke einarbeitet und die den Betrachter unweigerlich an die Bildfehler alter VHS-Kassetten erinnert. Es ist die Zeit, die als zentrales Thema des Künstlers auf diesem Weg immer wieder Einzug in das Werk des Künstlers hält. Mit einer raffinierten Kombination aus Licht, Bewegung und einem dynamischen Bildaufbau evoziert der Künstler mit einer auf den ersten Blick banal wirkenden Szene eine tiefgreifende Erzählung.

MACIEJOWSKI, MARCIN1974 Babice/PolenTitel: "07:15". Datierung: 2008. Technik: Öl auf Leinwand. Maße: 170 x 130cm. Bezeichnung: Betitelt, bezeichnet, signiert und datiert verso unten rechts: "07:15" (wg. "Dwanascie" M. Swietlickiego) MARCIN MACIEJOWSKI 2008. Hier zudem mit Werkangaben versehen. Provenienz:- Galerie Meyer Kainer, Wien- Privatsammlung Süddeutschland (seit 2010)Ausstellungen:- Kunstforum Ostdeutsche Galerie, Regensburg 2010Der 1974 in Babice bei Krakau geborene Maler Marcin Maciejowski ist einer der bekanntesten zeitgenössischen Künstler Polens. Von 1996 bis 2001 studiert er an der Kunstakademie in Krakau und erlangt internationale Bekanntheit als Gründungsmitglied der Grupa ?adnie (Hübsche Gruppe), zu der auch Rafa? Bujnowski, Marek Firek, Wilhelm Sasnal, und Jósef Tomczyk Kurosawa gehören. Maciejowski hält Szenen aus dem Alltag fest und bedient sich dabei einer Vielzahl von Medien - darunter Zeitungen, Fernsehen, Werbung, Comics sowie eigene Fotografien. Die sozialen und politischen Implikationen von Maciejowskis Vorlagen werden in seinen gemalten Versionen beibehalten und durch den Wechsel des Mediums in den Mittelpunkt gerückt. Er verbindet eine Comic-Ästhetik mit dem Realismus altmeisterlicher Gemälde, um eine rätselhafte Form des sozialen Kommentars zu finden. Das vorliegende Gemälde gleicht einem Polaroid-Foto, nicht nur inhaltlich, sondern auch formal: Am unteren Rand sehen wir, fast wie auf einem Beweisfoto, das Datum und die Uhrzeit der festgehaltenen Szene. Zwei Männer und Frauen befinden sich in einer leeren Bar, tanzend oder vor ihren leeren Gläsern an der Bar sitzend oder stehend. Das grelle Licht der Polaroid-Kamera scheint die vier Personen ganz ungefiltert zu treffen. Dem Betrachter stellt sich unmittelbar die Frage, wer die Dargestellten sind, wo sie sich befinden und wie sie zueinander gehören. Ausgelassen und glücklich wirkt keine der dargestellten Personen. In der gewählten Farbigkeit schwingt eine melancholische, fast bedrohliche Stimmung mit. Maciejowski gelingt es meisterhaft, den Betrachtenden im Ungewissen zu lassen und gleichzeitig, fein nuanciert, seinen persönlichen Blick auf die photographische Vorlage preiszugeben. Marcin Maciejowskis Werke finden sich u.a. im Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, im Center for Contemporary Art in Warschau, im San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, im Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum und im Whitney Museum of American Art, beide in New York sowie in zahlreichen namhaften Privatsammlungen weltweit.

He has covered social events for the past 30 years and through his lens brings us tantalizing shots of global celebrities.

David Bowie Polaroid, London, 1981.'This polaroid was taken at a party at Regine's nightclub on top of a building in Kensington London. I spotted Bowie in the garden and nervously went up to him and asked if I could take his photo and do a Polaroid of him. He agreed but wanted us to go somewhere a little more secluded. I took the Polaroid and all the while I'm thinking, he's going to remember me as the photographer who'd taken his photo at the Blitz Club without his permission about six months before. He was asking me questions about my attire, especially the Andrew Logan mirror bowtie I was wearing. He then said ' Ahh, Robert Rosen with the looking glass bowtie.' I smiled and showed him the Polaroid that by now had fully developed. But it had my fingerprints across the top of it as I'd been nervously holding it too hard whilst talking to David. I suggested we take another one, but he said 'No I like it, it's art' and he signed it.'- Robert RosenThe Charlie Watts Polaroid is the only unsigned photograph in the collection. When Rosen asked Watts to sign it, his excuse for not doing so was because John Lennon had passed away that day.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

He said, 'Hurry up inside the awards are starting,' and whisked me through the doors. Next thing I know I am inside standing next to Paul and Linda McCartney. We began a conversation and I asked to take a shot, they were in a joyous mood and most accommodating as you can see. On the third click they kissed - I got it!
