(241 x 251 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed in white marker, center right. Edition of c200. Medium weight light cream uncoated wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Fine condition. Comment(s): This rare letterpress print was published as part of the Warhol portfolio of eight prints which was included in the publication/portfolio "Artists & Photographs" published by Multiples, Inc., New York City, in association with Colorcraft Inc., NYC in 1970. The publication consists of a cardboard box containing artist's publications, multiples, artist's books, etc. by Warhol, Rauschenberg, Ruscha, Nauman, Gormley, Christo, Lewitt, and others. The stated edition size was 1,200 but as Peter Gidal indicates "…rumors abound that the art-box never got made in more than 800 copies, but even the origination gallery can no longer verify it. What is certain is that no "extra" copies of any of the multiples were made, and that the Gormley was in an edition of 200 and the Rauschenberg in an edition of 400. This substantiated the fact that complete boxes could never have been more than 200." Warhol's contributions were printed in different sizes, scales, and mediums. Our example is stamped verso "File Copy - Colorcraft Inc. - Please Return" indicating that it came from the Colorcraft archives. No auction records located.

1200-800 BC, Greek Archaic Period. A tanged bronze spearhead comprising a leaf-shaped blade with a large raised midrib, flanked by two smaller raised ribs on either side. This rare spear head has beautiful incised, concentric chevrons on its neck and is made even more grand by its stunning green patina. Bronze weaponry production flourished in western Asia, the Aegean, and Mainland Greece from the 2nd millennium BC to about 700 BC, when it was gradually replaced by iron. Swords, spears, and arrows were important symbols of war in Greek Bronze Age societies and served as powerful reminders that authority rested in the hands of those who could earn it. Superb condition. Size: L:380mm; 410g. Provenance: Property of an established London gallery; acquired from a private estate collection formed before 2000.
c. 800-1100 AD. Viking age. An iron bearded axe head with a short blade, round socket and hammerhead on the reverse. The item features etched decoration in a hatched design on the rear part of the blade. The bearded axe, or Skeggøx (from Old Norse Skegg, "beard", and øx, "axe") was common from the 6th century AD onwards in Scandinavia, but made most famous by the Vikings, who used these axes in battle to terrible effect. Bearded axes are named for the fact that the main part of the axe blade extends below the butt of the axe, creating a large cutting blade and allowing a fighter to hook onto the shields or weapons of his (or her) opponents. The hammerhead would have allowed for further tactical flexibility and the possibility of dealing powerful percussion blows. Further information on Viking axes can be found in Petersen, Jan (1919). De Norske Vikingesverd. Kristiania, but please note that the hammerhead is a rare variant not known at the time of that publication.. Good condition; on a custom made stand.Size: H:135mm/L:165mm/H:60mm (without stand); 584g. Provenance: From the private collection of a Cambridgeshire gentleman; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1980s on the UK /European art markets.
1200-800 BC, Bronze Age Luristan..Rare bronze axe with flat, broad blade, which tapers to a cuvillinear tang featuring horn-shaped guard. Bronze weaponry production flourished in western Asia, the Aegean, and Mainland Greece from the 2nd millennium BC to about 700 BC, when it was gradually replaced by iron. Swords, spears, and arrows were important symbols of war in Greek Bronze Age societies and served as powerful reminders that authority rested in the hands of those who could earn it. Superb condition; on custom-made stand. Size: H:200mm / W:100mm ; 268g. Provenance: Property of a London gallery, previously in old British collection formed in the 1980s.
300-500 AD, Late Roman. A group of five glass bracelets (also referred to as bangles) comprising monochrome glass loops bent into a loop, one with tooled decoration, and and more complex compositions made of a coloured glass core with applied patches. Items in this group include: 1) yellow with applied bump decoration; 2) a rare example comprising black core decorated with red, blue, yellow and other coloured patches (a design known as 'millefiori' or 'thousand flowers'); 3) reddish-brown bracelet with tooled decoration; 4) a black bracelet with yellow patches and tooled decoration; 5) a yellow bracelet decorated with red patches. Glass bracelets were an important dress accessory worn in the Roman Empire, and to judge from finds in graves, were primarily worn by women and children (and to a lesser extent by men). These versatile objects might also have been used to adorn women's elaborate hairstyles and/or to decorate horses. Glass bangles had a long lifespan and were also worn in the Middle Ages under Rome's successor state, the Byzantine Empire, where women often wore dresses which revealed their arms, making bracelets an especially appropriate accessory choice.

c. 900-1100 AD. Viking age. An iron bearded axe head with a curved blade, round socket and bell-shaped hammerhead. The bearded axe, or Skeggøx (from Old Norse Skegg, "beard", and øx, "axe") was common from the 6th century AD onwards in Scandinavia, but made most famous by the Vikings, who used these axes in battle to terrible effect. Bearded axes are named for the fact that the main part of the axe blade extends below the butt of the axe, creating a large cutting blade and allowing a fighter to hook onto the shields or weapons of his (or her) opponents. The hammerhead would have allowed for further tactical flexibility and the possibility of dealing powerful percussion blows. Further information on Viking axes can be found in Petersen, Jan (1919). De Norske Vikingesverd. Kristiania, but please note that the hammerhead is a rare variant not known at the time of that publication.. Good condition; on a custom made stand.

Literature/catalogue raisonne: Le Peintre et L'affiche, Union des Arts Decoratifs, Paris, 1988. Provenance: Estate of Seymour Hacker, Hacker Art Books/Gallery, NYC (his personal collection). Comment(s): No auction records of a signed impression have been located. Auction sales of the unsigned poster include: Swann Galleries, NYC, (Modernist Posters, #2079) - 05/08/2006 - lot#87, realized $4,370; Poster Auctions International, Inc. (Winning Posters XLIV) - 05/06/2007 - lot#325, realized $2,990; and Swann Galleries (Modernist Posters, Sale #1897) - 05/07/2001 - lot#10, realizing $2,530. The poster is printed in brown and ochre, the price "15" added by rubber stamp. The large abstract design, lettering and smaller image have all been printed from separate wood blocks, cut by Larionov himself. His signature appears at the foot of the sheet below the large design. "Arriving in Paris in 1914, Larionov became one of the major figures of the twentieth-century avant-garde, at least in part because of his relationship with Diaghiliev, with whom he worked for years at the Ballet Russes. From Fauvism to Rayonism (which he himself founded), he paved the way to the Futurism of Marinetti and for artists like Francis Picabia and Man Ray. With his wife, Natalia Gontcharova, Larionov organized key exhibitions (which has titles such as the Knave of Diamonds, The Tail of the Ass, The Golden Fleece), as well as endless parties, balls, and crazy events in Montparnasse. It is thus quite fitting that he designed the poster for one of the artists' balls of the Union of Russian Artists. Using only two colors, brown and ochre, as well as hand-cut letters, the image suggests smaller yet recognizable versions of the cubist figures and works of art. The poster has a definite flavor of the Paris avant-garde in the 1920s. Very rare." (Nicholas D. Lowry). Image copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. [6869-2-1600]

The publication consists of a cardboard box containing artist's publications, multiples, artist's books, etc. by Warhol, Rauschenberg, Ruscha, Nauman, Gormley, Christo, Lewitt, and others. The stated edition size was 1,200 but as Peter Gidal indicates "…rumors abound that the art-box never got made in more than 800 copies, but even the origination gallery can no longer verify it. What is certain is that no "extra" copies of any of the multiples were made, and that the Gormley was in an edition of 200 and the Rauschenberg in an edition of 400. This substantiated the fact that complete boxes could never have been more than 200." Warhol's contributions were printed in different sizes, scales, and mediums. Our example is stamped verso "File Copy - Colorcraft Inc. - Please Return" indicating that it came from the Colorcraft archives. No auction records located.
