Michael Mann's "Heat" is widely regarded as one of the best heist thrillers and features an all-star cast including Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Val Kilmer and Jon Voight.

Country of origin Australian One-Sheet film poster for "Mad Max" (1979). Mel Gibson as 'Max' takes centre stage as black-and-white imagery is offset against a burnt orange background. This orange version is considered the 'Holy Grail' of Mad Max film posters. When the movie was first released, they did not know it would be such a huge success, and One-Sheets with a predominantly purple background were printed and used. But more cinemas wanted to show the movie than there were posters, so an additional print run of One-Sheets with a predominantly orange background were printed. However that print run is believed to have been limited to 75 to 100 One-Sheets and each one is slightly different from the other. The orange varies in color from one poster to the next and how much of the poster has orange on it varies as well. Some informed collectors say that this orange poster was printed by the M.A.P.S. employees in the middle of the night, and there are others who think that the orange poster predates the purple one.26.75" x 40.25" (68 x 102 cm)Additional Information: Orange StyleCondition: ExcellentUnrestored, folded (as issued).

A rare set of four huanghuali armchairs, meiguiyi18th/19th centuryEach with a rectangular top rail mortised and tenoned to the stiles, set with a beaded-edge apron shaped with curving scrolls enclosing two confronted chilong heads contending the yin and yang symbol, all tongue-and-grooved into the top rail, the stiles continuing through the seat frame and extending as the back legs, the arms mortise and tenon to the stiles and posts, continuing through the seat and extending as the front legs, the hard cane seat bordered by a horizontal stretcher set with vertical pillar-shaped struts below, the front beaded-edged apron carved in low relief with meandering tendrils, the side aprons and the back apron left plain, the front legs joined by a shaped footrest atop a plain shaped apron on the front and aprons on the sides, the legs joined by rounded square stretchers. 82cm (32 2/8in) high 59.5cm (23 2/8in) wide x 45cm (17 6/8in) deep (4).Footnotes:十八/十九世紀 黃花梨券口靠背玫瑰椅 四張成堂Provenance: an English private collection, and thence by descentThe collection was formed by the grandfather of the former owner who was the Assistant Commissioner, Shanghai Municipal Police, 1919-1928. His father was a Protestant missionary in China. The family returned to England shortly after the Second World War.來源：英國私人收藏，並由後人保存迄今。本拍品前任藏家之祖父曾於1919至1928年任上海公共租界工部局警務處副官，其父為一名新教傳教士；第二次世界大戰爆發後，舉家回到英格蘭。Notable for their refined elegance, slender lines and light construction, the present chairs are exceptional examples of their type. Chairs displaying a low rectangular back, only slightly higher than the arms, which were placed at right angles to the front posts, were referred to as 'rose chairs, meiguiyi, or writing chairs, wenyi. The straight back and arms gave a sense of austerity to the scholars sitting in them and would fit neatly under the window of a scholar's studio, without obstructing the view outside. Much praised for their compact proportions, meiguiyi chairs are characterised by their top rail and arms curving smoothly into the posts, imitating the flexibility of bamboo by means of complex mortise-and-tenon joints. Moreover, the chairs are lightened by the use of the humpback stretchers with pillar-shaped struts above the seat frame. This design is thought to have been inspired by a low-back armchair manufactured during the Song dynasty, an example of which is depicted in a twelfth century painting by Ma Gongxian (act.1131-1162). Here Li Ao (d.ca. 844), a Confucian scholar, is seeking instruction from Yaoshan Weiyan (751-834), a Chan master, who is seated on a low bamboo chair which resembles the construction of a meiguiyi, with the addition of a back rest. Low-back armchairs were also frequently depicted in paintings and prints dating to the Ming and Qing dynasties. A 'Literary Gathering in the Apricot Garden', painted by the court artist Xie Huan (act.1426-1452), features 'The Three Yangs' scholars of the Hanlin Academy besides bamboo and hardwood low-back armchairs. Meiguiyi armchairs also served as informal seats for women: this is visible on a woodblock print illustration to 'Phoenix Seeks a Mate' Huang Qiu Feng, a drama dating to the Qing dynasty, which depicts three court ladies seated on low-back armchairs.Smaller and less formal than the 'yoke-back' or 'horseshoe-back' armchair, low-back armchairs were often more ornately decorated, displaying decorative frames and stretchers on the back panels, such as the present examples. The back frame of the present examples features an elaborate silhouette embellished with delicate designs of angular spirals and perky chi dragons enclosing the yin/yang symbol, while the arch-shaped frame of the base displays a curling tendril motif on the seat apron.For a detailed discussion of low-back armchairs meiguiyi and their Song dynasty origin, see S.Handler, 'Rose, Bamboo and the Low-Back Armchair', in Chinese Furniture: Selected Articles from Orientations, 1984-1999, Hong Kong, 1999, pp.250-256.

A rare set of three Suzhou printsQianlong, by Guan RuiyuOf arched form, each depicting 'mother and children' domestic scenes, later mounted on brocade covered back boards. Each panel, 123cm (48 1/2in) high x 60cm (23 5/8in) wide.

Produced in the 17th and 18th century, these rare surviving examples offer a compelling glimpse into the aesthetics of the period and are considered major landmarks in the history of Chinese printmaking. The city of Suzhou was China's wealthiest metropolis when the Qing dynasty was at its zenith. Urban affluence nurtured popular art and culture and resulted in the creation of new types of woodblock prints from the Kangxi through the Qianlong period. The commercial print studios of Suzhou produced innumerable works for the New Year celebrations and other festive events, as well as non-occasional prints, all of which are known today as Suzhou prints. Although originally Suzhou was one of many centres of woodblock printing, including Nanjing, Hangzhou and Xin'an, the banning of vernacular literature during sporadic periods of the early Qing dynasty forced many woodblock carvers and printers from other centres to move to wealthy Suzhou for new opportunities. No longer limiting themselves to book illustration, they extended their work to independent single-sheet pictures, and in much larger dimensions. Suzhou prints are stylistically unique and more artistically refined than the ordinary so-called 'New Year prints' (nianhua). Suzhou was not only the wealthiest city but had also been a cradle of both literati and professional artists, as well as an urban centre than had welcomed Western culture since the Ming dynasty, giving it everything it needed to facilitate the production of both unique and popular prints. The present lot encapsulates the influence of the West with single-point perspective and chiaroscuro shadows - elements at the time which would have been seen as completely foreign and exotic. During the Yongzheng and early Qianlong reigns, Suzhou print studios began to produce large monochrome prints to which bright colours were often applied by hand. Innovative artists in Suzhou printmaking chose new subjects and themes including cityscapes, popular scenic or tourist spots in Suzhou and other areas, imaginary sites with historical or cultural associations, and compositions reflecting the life and culture of the literati. See C.Von Spee, The Printed Image in China: from the 8th to the 21st centuries, London, 2010, pp.36-41. The three prints in the present lot in fact belong to two themed sets of prints: the print depicting a mother and scantily clad children in play represent a scene of Summer in a series about the 'four seasons'; the other pair depicts warmly clad children at play during New Year celebrations. The New Year print has an inscription: 姑蘓信德號麟兒集慶新年瑞Which may be translated as:Xinde Hao [Studio] of Gusu [Archaic name for Suzhou] The children of the Qilin coming together to celebrate the New Year.The other panel depicting the summer scene has the following inscription:鳳子歡呼樂歲終吳門管□寫Which may be translated as:The children of the phoenix call out in joy at the year's endGuan of Wumen [Archaic name for Suzhou]Examples of these prints produced by the same studio, Xinde Hao, including the three prints in the present lot, can also be seen in the Esterházy Palace, Hungary, and Château de Filières, France, where they were used as wallpaper or attached to folding screens; see Xu Wenqin, 'Chinese images in 18th century European wall decorations and wallpapers', Review of Culture, Issue 99, Macau, 2016, pls.169-171, figs.14-19.
