AUSSTELLUNG: Peter Brüning – Vom Informel zu den kartographischen Bildern und Zeichnungen, Galerie Elke und Werner Zimmer, Düsseldorf, 21.3.-12.5.1984. 'Die Frage nach Gegenständlichkeit oder Ungegenständlichkeit ist überholt.' Peter Brüning, 1956. 'Informel ist kein ‚Stil‘, sondern eine Haltung. Eine Haltung, die eine Offenheit nicht nur der bildnerischen Komposition einschließt, sondern generell die Offenheit des Werkes als Prozess mit einbezieht, die sowohl den Schaffensprozess als auch den Wahrnehmungsprozess, nicht nur den eigenen, sondern auch den des Rezipienten, in der Realität des Kunstwerkes selbst vereint.' (zit. nach: Marie-Luise Otten, Peter Brüning und das Potential des Informel, in: Peter Brüning 1929-1970, Galerie Haas, 2019, S. 14) Peter Brüning gehört zu den wichtigsten Vertretern des deutschen Informel. Seine Werke zeigen auf eindrucksvolle Weise diese genannte Offenheit gegenüber der Bildkomposition, Farbgebung und dem Pinselstrich – aber auch gegenüber dem Betrachter. Brünings Kunst ist wie die der anderen informellen Künstler für jeden zugänglich und vermeidet jegliche Exklusivität. Das vorliegende Ölgemälde zeigt eine dynamische Bildkomposition, die einen virtuosen Pinselduktus erkennen lässt. Brüning arbeitet vorwiegend mit Braun- und Grün-Tönen, wobei er durch den Einsatz von schwarzen Farbakzenten das Bild strukturiert und den Blick des Betrachters lenkt. Das vorliegende Werk steht repräsentativ für seine abstrakt-gestische Kunst, die bewusst den Akt des Malens, also den Schaffensprozess, in den Vordergrund stellt. Damit lässt seine Kunst deutliche Anklänge an die Stilrichtung des Action-Paintings erkennen, wie es ab den 1950er Jahren innerhalb des abstrakten Expressionismus zu finden ist. Der Amerikaner Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter des Action-Paintings. Wie im Informel steht auch hier der Malprozess im Vordergrund, der zudem einfache Malmittel und den Einsatz des Körpers einschließt. Brünings Kunst hat bereits ab den 1950er Jahren internationale Anerkennung erfahren, so wurden ihm nicht nur zahlreiche Einzelausstellungen im In- und Ausland gewidmet, sondern auch etliche Förderpreise verliehen. Seine Teilnahme an wichtigen Ausstellungsprojekten wie der documenta II (1959), III (1964) und IV (1968) festigte zudem seine Stellung auf dem internationalen Kunstmarkt.

Fred Thieler ist sicherlich der Maler, dessen Werke dem US-amerikanischen abstrakten Expressionismus am nächsten stehen. Und in der Tat erinnert Thielers sehr individuelle Malweise an die 'drippings' von Jackson Pollock. Der Bildträger, Leinwand oder Papier, liegt während Thielers Malvorgang immer flach auf dem Boden. Die Farbe, aus Dosen, Eimern, Kanistern oder Gießkannen geschüttet, wird mittels Anheben des Bildträgers ansatzweise gelenkt, teilweise mit dem Pinsel nachgearbeitet. Für Fred Thieler bedeutete Malerei immer ein Experimentierfeld. Diese Art der Malerei vollzieht sich schnell und konzentriert, es existieren keine Vorstudien zu den Werken. Generell verwendete Thieler einen Farbkanon aus Blau, Schwarz und Weiß, wobei er wie hier den dominanten Akzent der Komposition mit Rot setzt. In diesen Werken Thielers, entstanden im Prozess des kalkulierten Zufalls, scheinen wir einen Einblick tief hinein zu den bekannten, doch unreflektierten Urmysterien menschlichen Daseins zu erhalten - oder ist es doch eher ein Blick hoch hinauf in die Weiten des Universums? Ist gar beides in diesen Bildern geborgen? Das Werk Fred Thielers gilt gemeinhin als Synonym für das Informel und ebenso für abstrakte Bildwelten. Nach ersten Gemälden in bewundernden Gedanken an Corinth Anfang der 1940er Jahre sucht Thieler in der Ungegenständlichkeit der Motive die Vergangenheit hinter sich zu lassen und im Umgang mit Farben und Formen neue Wege des Ausdrucks zu erlangen. Es folgen Spachtelbilder, wie mit der Serie der „Wannseebilder“ Anfang der 1960er Jahre verwirklicht, sodann mit den Collage- und De-Collage-Bildern Mitte der 1960er Jahre erste Schüttbilder, die er in der Fülle der gesammelten Erfahrung bis zum Schluss ausführt, dem malerischen Experiment immer offen gegenüberstehend. Um ausgreifende Bewegungen großformatig umzusetzen – sicherlich ein Nachklang der 1959 auf der zweiten Documenta in Kassel ausgestellten Action-Painting-Bilder von Jackson Pollock – verwendet Fred Thieler in der Folge wieder Pinsel und flüssigere Farbe, „ganz normale Binder-Farben in größeren Bottichen; ich habe zwar damals noch nicht gegossen, aber mit größeren Pinseln die Farbe auf der Leinwand bewegt. Teilweise wurde die Farbe auch direkt aus der Tube gedrückt. Dann hat sich aus diesem Arbeitsprozeß eine Art Misch-Technik ergeben, indem die Erfahrung lehrte, daß man in die Binderfarbe eine in Terpentin gelöste Farbe hineingibt, und daß es dann entsprechende Ausbreitungen der Farbe gab – oder eben auch nicht –, daß also von dem eigenen Prozeß immer mehr der Prozeß auf der Leinwand zu einem selbständigen Prozeß wurde. Also nicht so sehr ein absolutes Von-sich-aus-Tun, sondern immer mehr ein Reagieren auf etwas.“ (zit. nach Eva Müller-Remmert, in: Fred Thieler. Malerei, Duisburg 2014, S. 35). Thieler entdeckt zunehmend die Eigendynamik der Farben und die Möglichkeit ihres freien Fließens, ihres zufälligen Vermischens, seines Eingreifens und Gestaltens. Die Formate wachsen, die Ideen des Künstlers werden kühner. Die Vorstellung von Malerei, getragen von großer Empathie für das Geschehen, erfährt ungeahnte Größe, freie Bewegung über das jeweils gegebene Format hinaus, gleichsam das Gefühl erzeugend, die Leinwand sei zu ‚klein’ gewählt. Die so gewonnenen Erkenntnisse lassen Thieler in den 1980er Jahren bis zu seinem letzten Tag immer neue Bildmöglichkeiten finden. Es sind keine gezielten Versuche, sondern vielmehr ist es ein entschiedenes Reagieren auf das, was auf der Leinwand, dem Segeltuch oder dem Papier geschieht. „Maler sein, heißt für mich, die Existenz eines Zeitgenossen zu führen, der den Hauptteil seines Daseins mit dem Versuch verbringt, die Impulse seines Lebens: Anregungen wie Depressionen, Intuitionen wie berechnende Überlegungen, Reaktionen aus Einzelergebnissen wie Erlebnisketten malend aufzuzeigen – oder im Malvorgang zu gewinnen. Malen bedeutet für mich, die Erfahrungsanalogien und -differenzen zu registrieren und ein Ergebnis zur Entstehung zu bringen, das, aus dem Malprozeß entlassen, für den Betrachter wie für den Maler selbst sich als Reflexion menschlichen Daseinserlebnisses darstellt und anbietet.“ (Zit. nach Andrea Firmenich in: Fred Thieler Monographie und Werkverzeichnis, Köln 1995, S. 17) Diese Haltung spürt der Betrachter, sie ist bis ins reife Schaffen dieselbe geblieben. Nicht eine allgemeingültige philosophische Haltung, die Thieler mit der Frage nach der eigenen Existenz verbindet. Sie bildet den entscheidenden Hintergrund für seine Kunst, sie ist Grundlage und Energiequelle für sein großes, konsequentes Engagement nicht nur als Künstler, sondern auch als Lehrer, als Kulturpolitiker und als Kunstanwalt. Die bewusst herbeigeführte Ereignishaftigkeit der Bilder ist für Thieler mehr als eine experimentell-sinnliche Lust an der Farbe, am Malprozess. Die ungewisse Veränderbarkeit ist Bildthema und Impuls zugleich. Darin offenbart sich Thielers Grundhaltung einer Erkenntnis und Anerkenntnis des steten Wandels des Lebens, der Ungesichertheit der menschlichen Existenz, der momentanen Subjektivität von Erleben und Erfahren, die keinerlei Gültigkeitsanspruch haben kann.

Marcia Hafif (American, 1929-2018)Cadmium Red Medium, 1991 signed, titled and dated CADMIUM RED MEDIUM MARCIA HAFIF 1991 (on the overlap)oil on canvas86.4 x 86.4 cm.34 x 34 in.Footnotes:ProvenanceGalerie Albert Baronian, BrusselsPrivate Collection, EuropeAcquired directly from the above by the present ownerExhibitedAalst, Galerij S65, Red Paintings, 1998The late Marcia Hafif was a true pioneer of contemporary painting. One of the definitive artists of Minimalism and early Pop Art in Europe, her legacy as a pivotal figure of the post-war period has emerged in earnest since her passing in 2018, positioning her as one of the leading female figures of her generation. Presented here are two iconic examples of her paintings and works on paper – pieces that embody Hafif's conceptual endeavour and deep aesthetic appreciation for colour, process and form. Across a pure canvas of florid red, laden with measured strokes, and in the studied marks forming an austere lattice of lines that reads as a harmony of musical annotation, the simple power of her work is tantalising to behold in the present works. In Cadmium Red Medium (1991) and November 20, 1972 (1972), Hafif achieves a serene force that holds the physical qualities of her materials in equilibrium with the visual impact of their composition. Hafif's colour field painting and pop minimalist style owed much to her travels in the 1960s; her global perspective bred an appreciation for the emergent postmodernisms that were developing in America and Europe from the 1950s onwards. With the arrival of Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism and Pop Art, Hafif was revolutionary in her use of colour as a medium, expanding the nature of the 'plane of the painting,' whose significance had become the credo of the likes of Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman, and Jasper Johns. In her paintings, Hafif used the plane to carve out geometries and colour fields that pre-date the work of many of her male contemporaries, and whilst being included in many exhibitions that evidenced her rightful place in the canon, such as Abstract Painting: 1960-69 in 1983 at the P.S.1. Museum, New York, alongside the likes of Brice Marden, Robert Ryman, and Agnes Martin, the current market has yet to truly react to her serious contribution to painting in the Twentieth Century. Born in 1929 in Pomona, California, Hafif closely studied the art of the Italian Renaissance, captivated by the sumptuous panels and frescoes of Fra Angelico and Piero della Francesca. Learned in the intense process and methodological struggles of renaissance painting, whose layers, colours and radiance could only be achieved through a virtuoso understanding of the compound elements of paint and their affect on the eye, Hafif applied such a holistic vision to the reductive canvas painting of the day – geometrical minimalism. During her tenure in Rome, she aligned herself with the Italian Pop Art movement, as well as with artist Francesco Lo Savio who was himself a pivotal influence and precursor to American Minimalism. Producing geometric and dichromatic canvases, she returned to New York in 1971 building upon this period of creativity, achieving a maturity in her practice that led her to produce some of her first monochromes; a lifelong series that would define the artist's output for rest of her career.Across an oeuvre that has been overlooked and considerably undervalued, Hafif has proven herself to be one of the most serious minimalist painters and theoreticians, consistently pushing the significance of the materiality and synesthetic affects of paint. Writing in Artforum in 1978, she commented: 'The options open to painting in the recent past appeared to be extremely limited. [...] we may be ready to enter still another phase of abstraction, a synthetic period' (Marcia Hafif, 'Beginning Again', Artforum, September 1978, No. 17, Vol. 1, online).In the present two works, Hafif's place in the art historical canon beside the likes of Brice Marden, Agnes Martin and Ellsworth Kelly is without question. In a luscious and intense red, her Cadmium Red Medium (1991) is a unique monochrome that wonderfully conveys the intensity and labour with which Hafif rendered the pristine canvas. Likewise, November 20, 1972 (1972) demonstrates the masterful hand and the erudite mind that formulated the fastidious and complex architecture.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Laffaille, Raoul Dufy, catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre peint, Vol. II, Geneva, 1973, no. 864 (illustrated p. 351).Le retour des régates was executed in Deauville in 1933 and stems from one of Raoul Dufy's most iconic subjects. Boat races were painted by the artist on numerous occasions throughout both France and Great Britain: in fact, the subject first appeared in Dufy's work in 1907 and remained an important theme throughout his practice. Executed on a canvas measuring over a metre long, Les retour des régates is one of the largest regatta scenes ever to appear at auction and was painted at the height of the artist's career.In the early twentieth century, Deauville developed into a go-to resort for high society due to its proximity to Paris. With a racecourse, a casino and a harbour, the small town provided entertainment throughout the year. The many festivities that were held established an influx of tourists and formed the ideal environment for Dufy to paint en plein air. The artist could observe the pastimes of the French upper-class from behind the easel, and the joyous and dynamic atmosphere allowed him to experiment with movement and colour. Born on the northern coast of France in the city of Le Havre, the artist was fascinated by the ocean from a young age as he would stand on shore watching the activities around the water's edge. Dufy considered the sea as a backdrop for lively spectacles, and it formed the ultimate location to observe the ever changing light effects: 'Unhappy the man who lives in a climate far from the sea, or unfed by the sparkling waters of a river!...The painter constantly needs to be able to see a certain quality of light, a flickering, an airy palpitation bathing what he sees' (Dufy, quoted in D. Perez-Tibi, Dufy, New York, 1989, p. 158).Dufy scrutinised the boat racing theme over the course of his career, which resulted in an array of works on the subject. It allowed the artist to experiment with various structures and colour arrangements in his compositions and he mastered a uniquely free and dynamic style. In the present painting Le retour des régates, the viewer observes the sailing boats returning to the harbour after racing on a sunny day at sea. Dufy captures the scene as seen through the eyes of the sailors in the advancing boats, giving the viewer the sensation that they too are within the composition. With the wind blowing in their sails, the boats navigate towards maritime flags situating the harbour with the shore emerging in the background. Instead of carefully delineated details, Dufy employed bold and rigorous brushwork to create stylized forms on the two-dimensional picture plane. A dazzling palette of blue hues accentuate the sky and sea, evoking the atmospheric climate of his lively design. The present work is proof of the artist's masterful colour technique. In an interview with Pierre Courthion, Dufy elaborated on his choice of colour: 'Blue is the only color which keeps its own individuality across the spectrum. Take blue with its different nuances, from the darkest to the lightest; it will always be blue, whereas yellow darkens in shadow and fades out in lighter parts, dark red becomes brown and when diluted with white, it isn't red any more, but another color: pink' (Dufy quoted in P. Courthion, Raoul Dufy, Geneva, 1951, p. 52).Le retour des régates captures the spirit and influence of the Fauves, with whom Dufy exhibited following his encounter with Henri Matisse's seminal work Luxe, Calme et Volupté at the Salon des Indépendants in 1905. Being exposed to such daring work encouraged the young artist to experiment with a wider palette. As Dufy himself emphasised: 'colour captures the light that forms and animates the group as a whole. Every object or group of objects is placed within its own area of light and shade, receiving its share of reflections and being subjected to the arrangement decided by the artist' (Dufy quoted in D. Perez-Tibi, op. cit., p. 150).The 1930s are regarded as the apex of Dufy's career, as his work started to receive institutional attention and was widely acknowledged across continents. In 1932 the Musée de Luxembourg in Paris acquired one of his works for their permanent collection, and by 1936 Dufy received several important public commissions in Paris, most notably the mural for the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne. In the same year, the present painting Les retour des régates was included in the thirty-third edition of the prestigious Carnegie International exhibition, held in the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio. This show was initiated in 1896 by industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie and was the first exhibition with an international allure in North America. In 1936 the show served as an annual survey to identify international trends in avant-garde art to inspire and educate the public. Dufy's work was exhibited alongside paintings by artists such as George Braque and Pierre Bonnard. Other participants of the Carnegie International included Camille Pissarro, Salvador Dalí and Jackson Pollock.Raoul Dufy's spirited and bright compositions remain intrinsic to the art historical discourse of today, particularly his regatta paintings. Comparable works to Les retour des régates can be found in major public collections including the Musée d'Arte Moderne de la Ville in Paris, the Tate Modern in London and the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

George Richmond RA (1809-1896)Portrait of Field Marshal Sir George Pollock (1786-1872)signed 'George Richmond' l.l., pencil heightened with white58 x 47cmSir George Pollock served in India for the majority of his military life. He joined the Bengal Artillery in 1803 and served during the 2nd Maratha War (1803-1805), the Siege of Bhurtpore (1805) and the Anglo-Nepal War (1814-1816). He was promoted to major-general in 1838, the year preceding the First Anglo-Afghan War, which continued until 1842. During this war he commanded the 'Army of Retribution' that, following a successful mission to relieve a besieged garrison at Jalalabad, joined forces with Major-General Sir William Nott's force and advanced to Kabul, where they rescued British hostages and destroyed the covered bazaar. This confrontation was the last in the First Anglo-Afghan War. Pollock was appointed military member of the Supreme Council of India in 1844 and retired in 1870 at the rank of field marshal. He was made a baronet in 1872.Condition report: One or two foxing spots and a little discolouration to the background, where an old stretcher/frame has been. Old gilt frame which has a few chips.
