Artist: Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987). Title: "Man Ray #2". Medium: Color offset lithograph. Date: Composed 1974. Dimensions: Overall size: 8 1/2 x 8 5/8 in. (216 x 219 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed in black felt tip pen, center left. Edition unknown, presumed very small. Cream wove smooth paper. Printed to the edge of the sheet. Fine impression. Fine condition; affixed to very thin and supple archival acid-free support sheet, not mount/board. Literature/catalogue raisonne: cf. Feldman/Schellmann II.148. Comment(s): Rare. Issued to promote the 'Man Ray' exhibition at Galleria Il Fauno and Alexandre Lolas, Milan, Italy, in August of 1974. The show consisted of 28 separate images of Man Ray. Apparently there were very small quantities of this lithograph printed for distribution at the opening night reception and they went fast. Printed by Poligrafico Roggero & Tortia, Beinasco/Turin, Italy. In the early 1970s Warhol began to accept regular commissions to paint the portraits of the rich and famous. However, as well as commissions, he also painted a number of portraits of people he admired, especially other artists. Man Ray was one of his heroes, so much so that, when he could afford it, Warhol acquired a number of his photographs, paintings and early books. This image is based on a Polaroid photograph he took of him, cigar in mouth, in 1973. As with the portraits of his mother and other people he felt close to, these portraits of Man Ray are among the most painterly and heavily-worked Warhol ever painted.

Artist: Shiko Munakata (Japanese, 1903-1975). Title: "Nude Female with Branches". Medium: Woodcut with watercolor handcoloring. Date: Composed 1934. Dimensions: Overall size: 7 3/4 x 5 5/8 in. (197 x 143 mm). Image size: 6 x 4 13/16 in. (152 x 122 mm).Lot Note(s): Pencil seal in the artist's hand, lower right. Edition unknown, presumed small. Thin cream wove paper. Wide margins. Fine impression. Very good condition. Provenance: Through a relative of the artist, Aomori, Japan; Private collection, Houston, Texas. Comment(s): Extremely rare, especially with the handcoloring, and a splendid example of Munakata's very early work. We could not find any auction records of a Munakata print created before 1935. In 1926, Munakata saw Kawakami Sumio's black-and-white woodcut "Early Summer Breeze," and decided to work on black-and-white prints. From 1928 onwards, Hiratsuka Unichi (1895–1997), another renowned sosaku hanga printmaker, taught Munakata wood carving. In 1929, four of his prints were accepted by the Shunyokai Exhibition, which bolstered his confidence in the new medium. In the following year (1930), four more of his woodcuts were accepted for the Kokugakai national exhibition, thus establishing him in his career. Image copyright © The Estate of Shiko Munakata.

Artist: Mexican School. Title: "Pancho Villa Reward Poster [original hand-pulled & printed "wanted" poster]". Medium: Linotype. Date: Composed 1916. Dimensions: Overall size: 11 3/16 x 8 5/8 in. (284 x 219 mm).Lot Note(s): Annotated on the verso: "J.D.A.A. - colección de". Printed on light green wove 'Papel Revolucion' paper, in common use at the time and the same paper used by Arsacio Vanegas Arroyo to produce the Jose Guadalupe Posada broadsides. The full sheet. Fine impression. Overall very good condition, with the expected edge fading common to this type of paper. Provenance: Estate of a private collector, Chihuahua, State of Chihuahua, Mexico. Comment(s): The verso annotation translates to "Collection of J.D.A.A." José Doroteo Arango Arámbula was Villa's given name before he changed it to the pseudonym Francisco (Pancho) Villa. One of the most famous reward/wanted posters in history. Shortly after the printing of the American version of the poster, it was printed in Mexico and distributed in the northern part of that country by Villa's opponents, in English, as issued, to lend credibility. Because of the ephemeral nature of this type of material, the limited quantities produced, and the use of the extremely fragile newsprint paper, the Mexican version of the poster is rarer than the American, and both are very rare.

Artist: Man Ray (American, 1890 - 1976). Title: "Photomontage with Nude and Studio Light". Medium: Original vintage photogravure. Date: Composed 1933. Printed 1934.

Printed to the edge of the sheet. Fine, quality printing. Very good to fine condition; affixed to very thin and supple archival acid-free support sheet, not mount/board. Comment(s): Very rare. According to “Gordon’s Photography Prices” the only auction record for a silver print of this image is $410,500 realized at Sotheby's, New York, 4/6/2011, lot #92. "Man Ray used separate negatives of a nude torso and a photographer's lamp to create this dreamscape. Shadows and reflections make the subject of the work ambiguous: the light bulb in the center could be a doorknob or a crystal ball. The piece is particularly successful in creating the illusion of three-dimensionality on flat paper." (Courtesy: Getty Museum).

The portfolio consists of 16 separate images of each of four reigning queens: Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Beatrix, Queen Margrethe II, and Queen Ntombi Twala, all printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, New York.

Artist: Kasimir Malevich (Russian, 1879 - 1935). Title: "Suprematist Composition [with black square]". Medium: Gouache, watercolor, and pen & ink on paper. Date: Composed c1915. Dimensions: Overall size: 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 in. (190 x 140 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed with the initials, lower right. Painted on cream wove paper. Very good to fine condition. Comment(s): Malevich works in any medium are highly sought after and are quite rare at auction. The paintings of the Russian avant-garde have, in general, elicited two types of interpretation: one focuses on issues of technique and style; the other concentrates on social and political issues. The former method is usually applied to Kazimir Malevich’s early paintings, grounded as they are in the forms of Cubism, Futurism, and other contemporaneous art movements; the latter largely avoids Malevich in favor of more politically engaged artists such as El Lissitzky, Aleksandr Rodchenko, and Vladimir Tatlin. From the formalist’s standpoint, our present example offered here in this auction is, in its mastery of shapes, a perfect example of his newly created Russian style, Suprematism. [29915-1-16000]

Artist: Yves Klein (French, 1928-1962). Title: "Timbre Bleu". Medium: IKB pigment on postage stamp. Date: Composed 1957-1959. Dimensions: Overall size: 1 x 3/4 in. (25 x 864 mm).Lot Note(s): Edition unknown. Fine condition. Provenance: The stamp was originally a gift of the artist to the head of the design department for printed matter and catalogs for the Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden in the late fifties and early sixties. Bengtsson Fine Art, Sweden, acquired them from this employee and they then were purchased at artnet.com. Comment(s): Klein Timbre Bleu stamps are rare and individual stamps have sold at auction as high as $11,930 (€9,000) (Piasa, Paris, 01/21/2014, lot #94). Effectively Yves Klein paintings in miniature, these stamps are from a series Klein made in 1957 by painting blocks of blank stamps with what was to become his signature, the patented blue pigment officially registered as IKB, or "International Klein Blue". The blue stamps were created for mailing invitations to the opening of two pivotal exhibitions, in May 1957, at the Galerie Iris Clert Gallery and the Galerie Colette Allendy Gallery, both in Paris. The postal authorities were cajoled by Klein into accepting the stamps as if they were actual postage stamps printed by the French government, and they delivered all of the invitations. Klein's handmade blue stamps thus formed an important part of the "performance" that every Yves Klein gallery opening entailed (in addition to being a venue, in the conventional sense, for introducing Klein's latest work to the public). Klein continued to use the stamps for two years following their 1957 introduction. Image copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / ADAGP, Paris. [29883-1-1600]

Condition: fine; trimmed a bit irregularly "as issued.". Literature/catalogue raisonne: Gundel/von der Osten 40 for the poster. Comment(s): Extremely rare. No auction records located. Pelons themselves are very rare "practice pieces" for early t-shirt designs. Before production was initiated the image or design was tested on cotton cloth or burlap to determine the color and line accuracy of the piece. The earlier examples, those dating from the 1970s, are generally the only pelons run on burlap. Few of these "tests" were preserved once the design was deemed acceptable and the shirt went into production. The image for the pelon is identical to that of the image for the poster created by Haring (with the exception of the background color, which is mustard yellow in the pelon) at the request of the concert promoter Bill Graham. Graham revisited his old Bronx neighborhood in August of 1986 and, appalled to see that drugs had effectively wiped out the local culture, foresaw a menacing problem in the crack craze. He teamed with David Maldonado to stage a Crack Benefit in the city, but scaled back plans several times since few shared his apprehension. Ultimately, two concerts were held, one at Madison Square Garden on October 31st and the other, an all-Latin show at the Felt Forum, the following night.

Artist: Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987). Title: "Dollar Sign - $ [on laundry bag]". Medium: Black marker drawing on green rip-stop nylon laundry bag. Date: Composed 1982. Dimensions: Overall size: 44 x 27 in. (1118 x 686 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed by Warhol twice, dated, and dedicated to "Liz". Unique. Fine condition with no issues. Literature/catalogue raisonne: See Feldman/Schellmann IIIC.49 (pg. 304) for examples of screenprints on laundry bags. Comment(s): A unique, classic, and very rare item. Our example is one of only three known original drawings that Warhol executed on a laundry bag, all of the few other bags bearing silkscreened images. The silkscreened bags themselves have fetched as much as $193,000 at auction in the past few years. Beginning in the late 1970s, Warhol and his master printer Rupert Jasen Smith worked together to produce a very small number of silkscreens on green laundry bags. The screenprinted images included those of ‘Joseph Beuys’ and Warhol’s celebrated ‘Cow.’ Our particular example (unused before the drawing) was probably left over from one of these printing sessions, at which time Warhol drew the image and signed it twice, as well as dedicating and dating it. Warhol’s dollar signs are among his “signature” images. Image copyright © Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. [29391-7-40000]

Arbus’s direct, confrontational approach to photography meant that her subjects did not always like their portraits.

Image size: 5 7/8 x 4 9/16 in. (149 x 116 mm).Lot Note(s): Edition unknown, presumed small. Thin Japan paper. Narrow top and bottom margins. Fine impression. Good condition; mounted to stiff board as issued; some scattered foxing in the image. Provenance: Through a relative of the artist, Aomori, Japan; Private collection, Houston, Texas. Comment(s): Very rare and a splendid example of Munakata's very early work. We could not find any auction records of a Munakata print created before 1935. In 1926, Munakata saw Kawakami Sumio's black-and-white woodcut "Early Summer Breeze," and decided to work on black-and-white prints. From 1928 onwards, Hiratsuka Unichi (1895–1997), another renowned sosaku hanga printmaker, taught Munakata wood carving. In 1929, four of his prints were accepted by the Shunyokai Exhibition, which bolstered his confidence in the new medium. In the following year (1930), four more of his woodcuts were accepted for the Kokugakai national exhibition, thus establishing him in his career. Image copyright © The Estate of Shiko Munakata.
