Brodsky, Joseph, russisch-amerikanischer Dichter und Literatur-Nobelpreisträger (1940-1996). Masch. Brief m. U. 1 S. Fol. Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts 7.2.1993.1940 wurde Joseph Brodsky als Sohn jüdischer Eltern in Leningrad geboren und bekam den Vornamen Stalins. 1987, sechs Jahre vor seiner Korrespondenz mit Ingrid von Kruse war Brodsky mit dem Nobelpreis für Literatur ausgezeichnet wurden, zu dieser Zeit weilte er in den USA. 1989 und in den Folgejahren beobachtete er mit Schmerz den Verfall der Sowjetunion, auf die er einige Gedichte verfasste, die seine vehement nationalistische Haltung offenbarten. So diskreditierte er beispielsweise schon damals die Ukraine als "Randgebiet Russlands", deren Unabhängigkeitsstreben er vehement ablehnte, in einem Schmähgedicht, was den gleichgeschalteten russischen Medien unter Putin immer wieder als Quelle der anti-ukrainischen Propaganda diente. Allerdings verfasste er auch harmlosere, poetischere Verse auf die Stadt Venedig, Er schreibt: "Dear Ms. von Kruse, I am terribly tempted by your invitation to produce text to accompany your wonderful photographs. I like them very much, but I can't really succumb: I have too many other writing commitments at the moment, and I feel I have written so much on Venice already. If you would like to use text from my book Watermark or my poems about Venice I would be glad to signal my approval to my publisher ...". 1996 wurde Brodsky auf der Friedhofsinsel San Michele in der Lagune von Venedig begraben. - Die Tintenunterschrift mit leichem Feuchtfleck, gelocht.

Danny Wainwright (British b. 1975)SumsScreen print on woven paperSigned and numbered 3/50 in pencil41 x 31 cm (16 x 12 in)Bristol skater Danny Wainwright currently works as team manager at Vans, managing the company’s pro riders and planning tours.

Archaic in form, with a circular mouth and tapering neck decorated with a fine band with floral motifs in iron red, the square body is well painted on each face with polychrome enamels with a character and with inscriptions in iron red; the low ring-shaped foot is decorated with a Greek also in iron red. The centre of the base bears an eleven-character mark in iron red that reads 'Respectfully Painted by the Art Porcelain Factory for the Revolutionary Committee' (???????????). Provenance: -Private collection, Europe. Catalogue notes: The word 'Cong' is an archaic term and refers to a rectangular jade ritual vase with a round mouth, this form is one of the most famous in Chinese culture and has been taken up by almost all dynasties up to the present day. This vase is noteworthy for its extraordinary pictorial quality on a porcelain from the People's Republic of China period; the characters depicted are taken from works extolling Chinese Communist Propaganda in the second half of the 20th century; each work taken up is part of the 'Eight Model Works' approved by the Communist Party, as well as the 'Red Classics': 1-"Ode to Longjiang" (Longjiangsong, ???), 2-"On the Quays" (Haigang, ??) 3-"Fighting on the Plain" (Pingyuanzuozhan ,?? ??)  4-"The Taking of Tiger Mountain" (Zhiqu Weihushan , ?? ???) Among the top ten porcelain factories in Jingdezhen, the Art Porcelain Factory is one of the best known names in the city, having operated in the market since 1958, the year of its foundation, exerting considerable influence until 1998, when it closed for renovation. As porcelain manufacture was managed by the state, official rules were established for the production of each company, each of which had its own role. The Art Porcelain Factory concentrated on exhibition porcelain and coloured handmade porcelain. It was commissioned various works by the Party and the Revolutionary Committee, an indication of the prestige it enjoyed in the second half of the 20th century.

A rare engraved political commemorative facet stem wine glass, circa 1770The ovoid bowl decorated with Britannia seated beside a pedestal draped with a flag, holding a hat raised on a lance in her left hand, inscribed 'MAGNA CHARTA' on a banner to her right, the stem cut with hexagonal facets extending into the base of the bowl, over a conical foot, 13.8cm highFootnotes:It is likely that this glass has its roots in the radical politics of John Wilkes (1727-1797). Wilkes and his supporters invoked Magna Carta extensively as a symbol of the ancient rights and liberties that were under threat from the government. He used the symbols of English Liberty, including Magna Carta and the Hat of Liberty, as propaganda after he was tried and convicted for seditious libel in 1764. An identical glass is illustrated in Asprey's catalogue, 100 British Glasses (1985), p.61, no.96 and was offered by Bonhams as part of the James Hall Collection on 17 December 2008, lot 185.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

Hier zudem mit dem Stempel PP versehen. Herausgeber: Castelli Graphics and Multiples, Inc., New York (Hrsg.). Exemplar: PP. Rahmen: Modellrahmen. Das Werk ist rückseitig mit dem Stempel COPYRIGHT ANDY WARHOL 1972 PRINTED AT STYRIA STUDIO INC. versehen.Bei diesem Werk handelt es sich um einen PP (Printers Proof), welcher außerhalb der Auflage von 250 Exemplaren (+ 50 AP) der zehnteiligen Mappe gleichen Namens erschienen ist.Provenienz:- Privatsammlung Nordrhein-WestfalenLiteratur:- Vgl. Feldman, Frayda/Schellmann, Jörg: Andy Warhol Prints - A Catalogue Raisonné 1962-1987, Mailand 2003 (4. Auflage), WVZ.-Nr. II.96- Technisch komplexer und interessanter Druck in einer der schönsten Farbvarianten - Wunderbares Farbspiel zwischen matten und stark glänzenden Tönen - Eines von nur sehr wenigen Printers Proof-Exemplaren als Vorgabe für die Serie Die Serigrafie "Mao" ist Andy Warhols erstes nicht amerikanisches und politisches Porträt. Er beginnt diese Serie als Reaktion auf den Besuch von US-Präsident Richard Nixon in China im Jahr 1972. Als Vorlage für das Motiv diente das offizielle Porträt des chinesischen Kommunistenführer Mao Zedong aus dem Jahr 1966. In seinem unverwechselbaren Stil parodiert Warhol das mächtige Propaganda-Porträt und verwandelt es in eine Pop-Ikone der 1970er Jahre. Er gehört neben der "Marilyn" und den "Flowers" zu Warhols bekanntesten Motiven. Die 10-teilige Serie markiert den Übergang von seiner frühen druckgrafischen Phase zu der späteren ab 1972. Die druckgrafische Edition entsteht gleichzeitig zu den Gemälden. Somit basiert diese nicht auf dem malerischen Werk, sondern ist absolut gleichberechtigt mit dieser zu sehen. Dies belegt sich auch in der deutlich aufwendigeren Produktion der "Mao" Serigrafien. Warhol wählt matte, aber auch fast lackartige, hochglänzende Siebdruckfarben. Gerade das Rot, der hier vorliegenden Arbeit, ist unglaublich intensiv und strahlend. Er hinterlegt den Hintergrund und das Gesicht mit einem zusätzlichen Sieb, dass grobe Pinselstriche zeigt. Durch die Überlagerung entsteht ein reliefartiger, fast malerischer Farbauftrag, welcher unvergleichlich zu anderen Drucken dieser Zeit steht.Erläuterungen zum Katalog

[HAILE SELASSIE I]: (1892-1975) Ethiopian Regent Plenipotentiary 1916-30 and Emperor 1930-74. A rare original printed 8vo propaganda sheet issued in the name of Haile Selassie and air-dropped over Ethiopia by the South African Air Force in 1941, printed in red and with the circular Imperial Seal featuring the Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah at the head, the Amharic text stating, in part, 'The Italians have been defeated at Metema. Using the British airplanes, tanks and artillery, we have taken over Galabat and we have burned down Metema and destroyed them [the Italians] there. We have caused him [the enemy] to lose troops of three battalions…..By standing at the Ethiopian gate, I will be banging [the Italians] by hands which are as strong as steel. And now, because the Italians have totally lost hope, they are gathering and are about to send whatever troops they could get from Gojam and Gondar. Therefore, now is your chance to trap these drunken fishes [disillusioned soldiers]. Ethiopia stretches its hands unto God. Thanks be to God who has made this victory possible for us'. Lightly affixed with tape at the left edge to the inside of a paper folder annotated in an unidentified hand to the front and bearing the printed coat of arms of the University of Edinburgh to the verso. Light staining to the left edge, caused by the tape, otherwise VG Italian dictator Benito Mussolini had long held a desire for a new Italian Empire, promising his people a 'place in the sun' to match the extensive colonial empires of Great Britain and France. In early October 1935 the Italians began invading Ethiopia as the Second Italo-Ethiopian War commenced. In the following year the Emperor went into exile in England, where he was to stay until 1941. Haile Selassie spent this time focussing on countering Italian propaganda as to the state of Ethiopian resistance and the legality of the occupation. During the first half of World War II British forces, which consisted primarily of Ethiopian-backed African and South African colonial troops led by Colonel Orde Wingate, coordinated the military effort to liberate Ethiopia. The Emperor himself issued several imperial proclamations in this period, demonstrating that, while authority was not divided up in any formal way, British military might and the emperor's populist appeal could be joined in the concerted effort to liberate Ethiopia. On 18th January 1941, during the East African Campaign, Haile Selassie crossed the border between Sudan and Ethiopia and the standard of the Lion of Judah was raised again. Italy was defeated by a force of the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth of Nations, Free France, Free Belgium and Ethiopian patriots and on 5th May 1941 Haile Selassie entered Addis Ababa and personally addressed the Ethiopian people.

HITLER ADOLF: (1889-1945) Fuhrer of the Third Reich 1933-45. An historically important Autograph Manuscript, unsigned, two pages, 4to, n.p. (Munich?) n.d. (February 1925), in German. The holograph notes were prepared by Hitler in advance of a speech (the first following his release from prison) he delivered in Munich's Burgerbraukeller on 27th February 1925. In the upper left corner Hitler has penned the year 1918 followed by the questions 'What had happened?' and 'Just what went wrong', continuing with a diagram separating the political parties 'on the Left "Proletariat"….Marxism….finished for good due to criminality' and 'on the Right "Bourgeoisie"……bourgeois parties….broke down due to cowardice' and also including the 'Volunteer Corps - Nationalist Organisations, Citizens Defending Themselves', the manuscript continuing with other relevant points he intended to deliver within the speech, 'Stick to the facts. Parties reject violence (cowardly). Associations are non-political (stupid. They keep pulling their chestnuts out of the fire). During all this the nation is destroyed, plundered domestically and internationally. Could anything still help? Founding of the NSDAP [National Socialist German Workers' Party, more commonly known as the Nazi Party] Goal. Programme', and to the second page Hitler writes further notes, 'Development. 1919-20-21-22-23. 8th November Result: Inflation. 1924 Parliament. Struggle within the movement. Did anyone care about us? No. My release. December 1924, February 27th 1925. Buttmann. The division is impending. I and Held. I and Rohm. I and Ludendorff. Lies. The old movement……The movement? In a different Germany. Here.' Autograph material of Adolf Hitler is extremely rare in any form, and the present notes are of particular significance in Hitler's rise to power, this particular speech representing a landmark moment in the re-establishing of the Nazi Party and Hitler cementing his position as 'der Fuhrer'. A couple of extremely minor, very small holes at the intersection of a couple of folds, VG'If anyone comes and tries to make conditions to me then I say to him: friend, wait and see what conditions I have to make to you. I am not wooing the masses. After a year you shall judge, my party comrades; if I have not acted correctly, then I shall place my office in your hands again. But until that moment this is the rule: I lead the movement alone, and no one shall set me conditions so long as I personally bear the responsibility. And I once more bear entire responsibility for everything that happens in the movement' (extract from Adolf Hitler's two-hour speech delivered at the Burgerbraukeller, Munich, 27th February 1925)Hitler joined the tiny German workers party in 1919, He quickly became its leader. On 9 November 1923, at the height of the great German inflation (on 20 November, one U.S. dollar was equal to four trillion German marks), Hitler risked a coup. He led his followers through the streets of Munich to the Feldherrnhalle, a war memorial, where waiting police opened fire. Sixteen of Hitler's followers were killed; Hitler himself was arrested, and after a trial that he turned into a political platform, he was sentenced to four years in prison. The party was banned, and its remnants degenerated into squabbling factions. Hitler stood outside the fray, using his time in prison to write Mein Kampf. He was released in December 1924 after serving only nine months of his term, and set about rebuilding the party. The authorities lifted the ban on the Nazi Party on 16 February 1925. Hitler now arranged one of his rhetorical masterpieces: a mass meeting on 27 February to re-establish the party. He chose the same beer hall from which he had launched his abortive revolution fifteen months earlier. Three thousand people packed the hall, and several thousand more were turned away. He entered to the passionate applause of the audience, and gave [a] two hour speech….Its first three-quarters offered nothing that most in the audience had not already heard, and would hear again in Hitler's future speeches. He reviewed Germany's history, claiming that past conservative parties had no contact with the masses, and that leftist parties pretended to address the problems faced by ordinary Germans, but actually served the interests of the Jews who controlled them. He also outlined his views on propaganda. In the last quarter of the speech, he moved to re-establish his control of the party. He claimed absolute authority. Anyone unwilling to obey could go his own way. Hitler 'forgave' those who had made mistakes in his absence, and demanded that there be no criticism of him or the party for a year. The audience responded with enthusiasm. After the speech, Hitler had arranged…..'a piece of pure theatre'. The Nazi leaders who had fought for supremacy while Hitler was in prison all 'mounted the platform and, among emotional scenes, with many standing on chairs and tables and the crowd pressing forward from the back of the hall, shook hands, forgave each other, and swore undying loyalty to the leader'……The speech succeeded. Hitler once again was absolute leader of the party' (from Landmark Speeches of National Socialism, edited by Randall L. Bytwerk, Texas A&M University Press, 2008)

MAGRITTE RENÉ: (1898-1967) Belgian Surrealist Painter. An interesting and philosophical letter written by Magritte A.L.S., `René Magritte´, two pages, 8vo, Brussels, 25th September 1961, in French. A very good content letter where Magritte refers first to the priests´ propaganda and later to the Nothingness concept, stating in part `A la suite d´une discussion à propos de mon texte “La Voix du Mystère”, il faut craindre que le mystère don't je parle soit confondu avec celui don't les curés font leur propaganda: il m´a été dit qu´ils sauraient me convaincre que je suis “un croyant” comme ils l´entendent. Pour éviter cette erreur, cette horreur, il faudrait ajouter à mon texte: - qui ne correspond à aucune doctrine- dès le début. Nous aurons donc comme première phrase: Le mystère - qui ne correspond à aucune doctrine - n´est pas une possibilité…´ (Translation: “Following a discussion about my text “La Voix du Mystère”, it is to be feared that the mystery of which I am speaking is confused with that of which the priests make their propaganda: I have been told that they would know how to convince me that I am “a believer” as they understand it. To avoid this error, this horror, it would be necessary to add to my text: - which does not correspond to any doctrine - from the beginning. We will therefore have as a first sentence: The mystery - which does not correspond to any doctrine - is not a possibility…”) Further and referring to Nothingness, Magritte states `Je souhaite que vous écriviez ce que vous pensez du Néant. Vous devez pouvoir en dire ce que l´on ne sait pas encore. Comment le comprenez vous et comment le comprenez vous “par rapport” au mystère? Il s´agira peut-être de distinguer le Néant de celui qui sert à la propagande des curés de l´Orient? (Le Nirvana). Mais cette question est difficile, en “distingant” le Néant, on le determine déjà, on lui donne une forme qu´il ne saurait avoir étant le Néant? Je crois que ce que l´on ne sait pas encore du Néant nous est nécessaire´ (Translation: “I want you to write what you think of the Nothingness. You must be able to say what we do not yet know. How do you understand it and how do you understand it “in relation” to the mystery? It will perhaps be a question of distinguishing the Nothingness from that which is used for the propaganda of the priests of the East? (Nirvana). But this question is difficult, by “distinguishing” the Nothingness, we already determine it, we give it a form that it could not have, being the Nothingness? I believe that what we do not yet know of Nothingness is necessary for us”) VG

Morphy’s Zeit in Havanna ist jedoch nicht gut dokumentiert, so dass die vorliegende Ausgabe ein seltener Beitrag über diese Phase seines Lebens ist.

Full title: Issachar Ryback (1897-1935): The dance, lithograph in colours, ed. E.A.Description:Work: ca. 56 x 42 cm Frame: 79 x 63,2 cm The Ukrainian born Jewish artist Issachar Ryback (Elisabethgrad, 1897 - Paris, 1935) is part of the Ukrainian school and one of the famous students of the School of Paris: "Ryback was born into a Hassidic family and left his parents' home at a young age. He took drawing classes in his hometown and studied at the Academy of Kiev between 1911 and 1916. When the revolution broke out in 1917, the central committee for Jewish culture in Kiev ordered propaganda posters and street decorations from him. At that time, he met El Lissitzky. Together with the latter, he participated in an expedition to Ukrainian villages, financed by the Jewish Society of Ethnography and History, whose purpose was to produce a series of paintings on Jewish cemeteries and synagogues. In 1918, he lived in Moscow where he taught painting. In 1921, he left for Berlin. In collaboration with the Yiddish poet Leib Kvitko, he published stories for children (USSR state editions) and an album of thirty lithographs entitled Shtetl (1923). In 1924, he published the Jewish Types of Ukraine, an album reminiscent of Cubism and Expressionism that recounts the threatening atmosphere of a pogrom. In Berlin, he became a member of the Novembergruppe and exhibited his work at the Secession. At that time, he produced supremacist engravings for the Yiddish avant-garde journal Albatros. In 1925, he was invited to return to Russia by the Jewish Theater in Moscow, and designed sets and costumes for I.L. Peretz's play In Folisch Oyf Der Keit. The same year, he spent time in the Jewish agricultural colonies in Ukraine, where he produced drawings representing everyday life. These drawing were published when he arrived in Paris in 1926. Between 1928 and 1934, Ryback exhibited his work in Paris, The Hague, Amsterdam, Brussels, Rotterdam, Antwerp, and Philadelphia. His last exhibition took place at the Wildenstein gallery in Paris. His works are a.o. in the Issachar Ryback museum in Bat Yam, Israel." (link) This lithograph in colours is part of the 16-part series 'Mon village'.
