The original copper plates [of these three] were discovered by the artist's widow in 1966 at his atelier in Woodstock, New York. These plates were in sufficiently good condition to permit posthumous editions to be printed, since only one life-time proof was known of "Bending," two of "Angelica," and none of "Kneeling." These three editions were printed in New York by Miss Judith Foster in 1967, under the supervision of the artist's estate." Donald Karshan, "Archipenko: The Sculpture and Graphic Art."

To the best of our knowledge, the print run of our example with the text reading "Andy Warhol (American 1930-) [sic]" is the only lifetime printing as a poster of this image. Undoubtedly to be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonne of Warhol's non-commissioned posters by Paul Marechal. The painting was completed during the weeks after Monroe's death in August 1962. Sometimes referred to as "Marilyn x 50" it contains fifty images of the actress, which are all based on a single publicity photograph from the film 'Niagara' (1953). The twenty-five pictures on the left side of the diptych are brightly colored, while the twenty-five on the right are in black and white. It has been suggested that the relation between the left side of the canvas and the right side of the canvas is evocative of the relation between the celebrity's life and death. The painting is currently owned by the Tate. In a December 2, 2004 article in 'The Guardian', the painting was named the third most influential work of modern art in a survey of 500 artists, critics, and others.

Artist: Rudolf Bauer (German, 1881 - 1953). Title: "Non-Objective Solitary Confinement Prison Drawing [No.13]". Medium: Pencil drawing on paper. Date: Composed 1938. Dimensions: Overall size: 8 3/16 x 5 3/8 in. (208 x 137 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed with the initial in pencil (as was his custom), lower left. Drawn on grey/green wove paper. Good condition. Provenance: Estate of the Artist. Comment(s): Another example of a Bauer prison drawing sold for $6,875 at Doyle New York, November 5, 2013, lot #86. Our drawing is a highly important example of Bauer’s rare “prison drawings.” Among them, the “solitary confinement prison drawings” are of the utmost rarity. As Wikipedia states, “during his time in prison [1938], he created dozens of non-objective drawings on scavenged scraps of paper.” Bauer was in prison for several months. Initially he was held in solitary confinement. He created the present drawing, our example, during the solitary confinement period. He then was moved to the general prison population and allowed to perform office clerking functions. During this time he created yet more drawings, generally more refined and on office stationery, many with typewriter type on the verso. These drawings, while still rare, are obtainable, whereas the “solitary confinement” drawings are virtually unobtainable. The complete text of the Wikipedia article dealing with this period: “In 1938, upon his return from an exhibition of his work in Paris, Bauer was arrested by the Nazis for his ‘degenerate’ art and for speculating on the black market — meaning selling his work to [Solomon] Guggenheim. The previous year Bauer’s work had been included in the infamous Degenerate Art show in Munich, organized by the Nazis to show all the deviant, abstract art. In spite of this Bauer had refused to move from his home country. Upon his arrest Bauer was held in a Gestapo prison for several months, as [Hilla] Rebay and Guggenheim worked to free him. After several false starts, he was finally released unconditionally in August 1938. During his time in prison, he created dozens of non-objective drawings on scavenged scraps of paper. He spent the next months getting his paperwork in order and made the difficult decision to leave his homeland, emigrating to the United States in July 1939, just months before the beginning of World War II.” Image copyright © Rudolf Bauer Estate and Archives.

Lot 461

Artist: Shiko Munakata (Japanese, 1903-1975). Title: "Nude Female". Medium: Woodcut with watercolor handcoloring. Date: Composed 1934. Dimensions: Overall size: 7 13/16 x 5 5/8 in. (198 x 143 mm). Image size: 6 x 4 3/4 in. (152 x 121 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.

Undoubtedly produced by Francois Bernouard, Paris, like that for the Bal Travesti/Transmental, though the program carries no credit. Highly important and rare.
