Keith Haring & Andy Warhol (Americans, 20th Century). "Andy Mouse IV, Homage to Warhol [postcard edition]". Color offset lithograph. 1986. Signed in black marker by both Haring and Warhol, lower margin; signed in the plate by both Haring and Warhol. Edition unknown. White wove paper. Full margins. Fine impression. Fine condition. Literature/catalogue raisonne: cf. Klaus Littmann, 'Keith Haring: Editions on Paper, 1982-1990' #64-65. Overall size: 5 7/8 x 4 1/8 in. (149 x 105 mm). A rare object when signed by both artists. No auction records of a signed impression located. Haring met Andy Warhol in 1984 following his second exhibition in New York at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery. He and Warhol quickly discovered a mutual admiration for Walt Disney. For his exuberant character Andy Mouse, Haring combined two of his heroes, Andy Warhol and Walt Disney. The 'Andy Mouse' series is perhaps Haring's most sought after work. The set of four color silkscreens sold for £133,250 ($208,403) at Christie's, London, September 15th, 2010, lot #167. The silkscreens, signed by both artists, were published by George Mulder Fine Art. Image copyright © The Keith Haring Foundation. [28779-1-800]

Shiko Munakata (Japanese, 1903-1975). "Two Female Nudes". Woodcut with watercolor handcoloring. 1934. Pencil seal in the artist's hand, lower right. Edition unknown, presumed small. Thin cream wove paper. Fine impression. Very good condition. Provenance: Through a relative of the artist, Aomori, Japan; Private collection, Houston, Texas. Overall size: 7 13/16 x 5 5/8 in. (198 x 143 mm). Image size: 5 1/2 x 5 1/16 in. (140 x 129 mm). 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.

Issued to promote the “Keith Haring: Peintures, Sculptures, et Dessins” exhibition at the capc Musee d’art contemporain, Bordeaux, France. Apparently there were very small quantities of this lithograph printed for distribution at the opening night reception and they went quickly. The exhibition ran from December 15th 1985 to February 23, 1986. Printed by l’Imprimerie Union, Paris. Image copyright © The Keith Haring Foundation. [29207-1-600]

Tom Wesselmann (American, 1931 - 2004). "Wesselmann: Graphics/Multiples Retrospective, 1964-1989". Original color silkscreen and lithograph. 1990. Signed in pencil, lower right. Edition unknown, presumed very small. Very light cream watermarked 100% rag wove paper. Full margins. Fine impression with extremely fresh, bright colors. Fine to very fine condition. Overall size: 25 x 17 in. (635 x 432 mm). Image size: 13 3/4 x 14 5/8 in. (349 x 371 mm). Very rare. We have located only one auction record for this print (an unsigned impression): a sale for $2,620 (€1,875) at Dorotheum, Vienna, 03/14/2011. Issued for the Hara Museum, Tokyo, exhibition of April 28-June 6, 1990. Unlike other Pop artists (Warhol, Lichtenstein), Wesselmann posters are very uncommon/scarce. Our example is undoubtedly one of the few signed Hara posters, very scarce in their own right. The printing quality is absolutely superb. Image © Licensed by VAGA, New York, NY. [26574-5-1600]

Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987). "Christmas card: Fruit Basket". Original vintage color offset lithograph. 1960. Printed 1960. Signed in black marker, center left. Edition unknown, presumed small. Light cream wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Fine condition; fold as issued; unused; blank interior; lot includes original unused Tiffany envelope (embossed "Tiffany & Co. Makers New York"), also in fine condition. Literature/catalogue raisonne: Paul Marechal, “Andy Warhol Ephemera…Catalogue Raisonne, 1950-1987.” Lyon, France: Les amis du Musee de l’Imprimerie, 2018, Section 3, no. 12d; John Loring, “Greetings from Andy (Warhol): Christmas at Tiffany’s.” New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 2004. Overall size: 6 7/16 x 5 1/16 in. (164 x 129 mm). Warhol's lifetime Tiffany Christmas cards are rare, and extremely rare signed. The most recent sale price we found of a card, unsigned and without the envelope, was $3,000 at Christie's New York, December 1st, 2014, lot #62. In 1956, in addition to all the work Warhol was getting drawing shoes and bags, he was commissioned to design Christmas cards for Tiffany & Co. on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Warhol's cards were then published by Tiffany's every Christmas up to 1962, the year he started to exhibit his paintings of soup cans. Our example offered here is from the original first printing in 1960. The cards were subsequently reprinted in a slightly larger size in 1980.

No auction records located. Issued to promote the 'Andy Warhol: Guns, Knives, Crosses' exhibition at the Galeria Fernando Vijande, Madrid, Spain. The show consisted of dozens of separate images of Warhol's renditions of guns, knives, and crosses. Apparently there were very small quantities of this lithograph printed for distribution at the opening night reception and they went fast. The reception was held on December 19th and the exhibition ran from December 20th, 1982 to February 12, 1983. Printed by Grafex, Madrid.

Lot 1149

Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987). "Liz As Cleopatra". Original letterpress print. Printed 1970. Signed in black marker, lower right. Edition of c200. Medium weight light cream uncoated wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Very good condition. Overall size: 11 3/4 x 9 1/2 in. (298 x 241 mm). 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.

Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987). "Brillo Box #2". Color inks on stiff paperboard. Produced prior to 1963. Signed c1968 in black marker, center left. Quantity unknown, few survive. Printed on thin grey-brown stiff paperboard. Quality printing. Very good to fine condition; minor wear at edges; includes the unused pad. Dimensions: 3 x 2 3/4 x 1 in. (7.6 x 7 x 2.5 cm.). The most recent auction record we could find of a Brillo Box in this rare size is a sale for $2,250 at Auctionata, New York, January 19th, 2016, lot #35. In the mid-1960s Warhol carried his consumer-product imagery into the realm of sculpture. Calling to mind a factory assembly line, Warhol employed carpenters to construct numerous plywood boxes identical in size and shape to supermarket cartons. Then he painted and silkscreened the boxes with logos of different consumer products, including Brillo soap pads. When Warhol first exhibited them at the Stable Gallery in 1964 they caused great controversy. In reference to the boxes he later said that he "wanted something ordinary," and it was this mundane, commercial subject matter that infuriated the critics. Shortly after the exhibition, Warhol, from time to time, began to sign actual supermarket Brillo boxes – our example is one of these.

Jean-Michel Basquiat & Andy Warhol (Americans, 20th Century). "Palladium Presents: Warhol * Basquiat Paintings [Variation #1]". Original color offset lithograph. 1985. Signed by both artists in black marker, lower left and lower right. Edition unknown, presumed very small. White wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Very good condition; colors strong; some minor dimples in the image; original folds as issued for mailing. Overall size: 17 5/16 x 11 1/16 in. (440 x 281 mm). Image size: 17 5/16 x 11 1/16 in. (440 x 281 mm). Rare. The companion piece to the legendary, iconic, and famous exhibition poster (offered elsewhere in this auction) of two of the greatest artists of the latter part of the 20th Century, standing side by side, perhaps the most poignant and enduring image of the 1980's NYC art scene. Our example is the first variant of the "invitation poster" showing Warhol landing a punch on Basquiat's chin. The first variant is identical to the second variant except for the admission price, which is "Complimentary Admission for Two" in the first variant and "Admission Twenty Dollars" in the second variant. While the poster with Warhol and Basquiat standing side by side (titled "Tony Shafrazi * Bruno Bischofberger Present: Warhol * Basquiat Paintings, September 14 through October 19, 1985, 163 Mercer Street, New York) is occasionally obtainable, the alternative version (our "invitation poster") was issued for a one-night only event at the Palladium (not at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery) and very few were printed. We could locate only 2 auction records of this poster in the past 28 years, with only one of these being signed, which sold for $4,153 (€3,222) at PIASA, Paris, November 23, 2008, lot #413. The photograph is by Michael Halsband who also took the picture for the exhibition poster. Undoubtedly to be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonne of Warhol's non-commissioned posters by Paul Marechal. The full title of the poster is: "Palladium Presents Warhol * Basquiat Paintings, Saturday * September 14 * 1985 * 10 PM, Palladium, 126 East 14 Street, Exhibition at Tony Shafrazi Gallery, Complimentary Admission for Two.".

Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987). "Flowers ("Blue & Green")". Original color silkscreen. 1978. Signed in black marker, lower right. Edition unknown, presumed small. Cream wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Very good to fine condition. Literature/catalogue raisonne: cf. Feldman/Schellmann pp.213-214; II.64-73. Overall size: 27 1/2 x 27 1/2 in. (698 x 698 mm). Image size: 24 3/8 x 24 3/8 in. (619 x 619 mm). Very scarce, and rare signed. The auction record for the same image of this print (signed and by a different printer) is $3,600 realized at Swann Galleries, NYC, February 5, 2013, lot 251. This "Flowers" image is slightly different from those of the limited edition published in 1970. According to Feldman/Schellmann (pg. 214, fourth edition, 2003) "prints exist which differ from the published edition (example illustrated on previous page)." The example illustrated on pg. 213 is our example, with different colors. Based on a photograph of hibiscus flowers by Patricia Caulfield in "Modern Photography," June, 1964. The text lower left to right reads: "Andy Warhol - Flowers - Silk Screen - 1964 - coll. Harry N. Abrams - © 1978 Leo Castelli Gallery - Posters Original, Ltd. No. M 57."

Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987). "Campbell's Soup - Pepper Pot [Ferus Gallery invitation/announcement]". Original color offset lithograph. 1962. Signed in pencil, lower right. Edition unknown, presumed very small. Slightly textured white wove paper with serrated lower margin (as issued). Full margins. Fine, strong impression with bright colors. Good to very good condition: folds as issued for mailing; a few handling creases and spots, not in the image. Literature/catalogue raisonne: Paul Marechal, “Andy Warhol Ephemera…Catalogue Raisonne, 1950-1987.” Lyon, France: Les amis du Musee de l’Imprimerie, 2018 (unknown to Marechal, undoubtedly to be included in the forthcoming revised edition); cf. Feldman/Schellmann II.51. For an extensive coverage of the history and importance of this announcement and its exhibition, please see Kirk Varnedoe's essay 'Campbell's Soup Cans, 1962' in Gagosian Gallery's 'Ferus,' 2002, pp. 44-52. The announcement is illustrated, full page, full color, on pg. 42. The exhibition painting upon which the announcement is based is pictured on pg.129. Overall size: 12 1/4 x 10 in. (311 x 254 mm). Image size: 8 7/8 x 5 1/16 in. (225 x 129 mm). A very rare object. “Gordon’s Print Prices” records only three sales from 1985 to 2019, all works unsigned, the most recent sale realizing $2,750 at Bonhams New York, 12/6/2106, lot #136. The importance of the Warhol exhibition at the Ferus Gallery and this related announcement cannot be overemphasized. Although the Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian has a total of 32 different Irving Blum and Ferus Gallery announcements, it does not possess this announcement. As Wikipedia states in its article on the Campbell's Soup Cans, "Warhol…showed the work on July 9th, 1962 in his first one-man gallery exhibition as a fine artist in the Ferus Gallery of Los Angeles, California. The exhibition marked the West Coast debut of pop art." Note the differences in our poster and the related painting to the later, true to life, screenprints of the soup cans. As Varnedoe states,"…Warhol added one central, repeated note of expediently pure abstraction in the solid gold disk that utterly ignores the fine black printing actually found on this area of the real label."

Kasimir Malevich (Russian, 1879 - 1935). "Suprematist Composition [with black square]". Gouache, watercolor, and pen & ink on paper. c1915. Signed with the initials, lower right. Painted on cream wove paper. Very good to fine condition. Overall size: 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 in. (190 x 140 mm). 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]

Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987). "Flowers ["Red" - Nouvelles Images]". Original color silkscreen. 1970. Signed in black marker, lower right. Edition unknown, presumed small. Cream wove paper. The full sheet. Fine impression. Very good condition; would be very good to fine but for a one inch tear in the upper left margin, not into the image, would be masked out by the mat when framed. Literature/catalogue raisonne: cf. Feldman/Schellmann pp.213-214; II.64-73. Overall size: 27 1/2 x 27 1/2 in. (698 x 698 mm). Scarce, and rare signed. The auction record for another impression of this print (signed) is $3,600 realized at Swann Galleries, NYC, February 5, 2013, lot 251. This "Flowers" image is slightly different from those of the limited edition published in 1970. According to Feldman/Schellmann (pg. 214, fourth edition, 2003) "prints exist which differ from the published edition (example illustrated on previous page)." The example illustrated on pg. 213 is our example and that sold by Swann, with different colors. Based on a photograph of hibiscus flowers by Patricia Caulfield in "Modern Photography," June, 1964.

This image was used for three posters, the large and medium versions being printed for the Castelli exhibition, the smaller for the Metropolitan Museum, the owner of the painting (the Lila Acheson Wallace Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, permanently and exclusively devoted to 20th-century art, was inaugurated in 1987). Doering/Von der Osten states that "the poster was also printed in smaller format" by which he means the medium version, identical to the large version but smaller. In the left-hand section of the poster Lichtenstein interprets a figure by Fernand Leger. Image copyright © Estate of Roy Lichtenstein. [28313-4-1600]

This rare silkscreen 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.

1936 Vauxhall 14hp DX Light Six Tourer, Coachwork by Tickford Registration number: CBY 132 Date of first registration: 01 12 1936 VIN number: 658201 Engine number: 4633 MOT expires: N/A V5C present listing 1 former keepers Current mileage shown 1701 cc Green Introduced for 1933, the Vauxhall Light Six came with either a 1,530cc 12hp or 1,781cc 14hp overhead-valve engine and would prove an enormous success, more than 23,000 being made up to the end of 1934 when the model was redesigned and re-styled along Big Six lines, gaining a new X-braced chassis equipped with Dubonnet coil-sprung independent front suspension, four-speed synchromesh gearbox and mechanical brakes. Models offered were the 12hp DY and 14hp DX, a further 59,000-or-so of which were manufactured up to the end of 1938. This model of car also appears in the BBC film ''I Capture the Castle''. This extremely rare Vauxhall Light Six tourer was purchased new by the manager of Carbodies Limited, Coventry and first licensed in 1937. At some time during the early 1940s the car was acquired by a Christopher Charles Ancil of Weston-on-the-Green, Oxfordshire, who used it regularly until it was laid up in the 1980s. The car remained unused thereafter until Mr Ancil's death when it was left to his nephew who commissioned an extensive body-off restoration. Undertaken by Wychwood Vintage & Classic Cars of Ascott-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire, the rebuild took approximately four years to complete and was finally finished in June 2000 when the car was MOT'd. Since completion 'CBY 132' has covered very few miles and is in impeccable condition mechanically and cosmetically with excellent paintwork, re-trimmed leather interior and new hood. It's strong six cylinder engine pulls well and gear selection is smooth. A superb four-seat post-Vintage thoroughbred tourer designed by one of the countries most forward thinking and innovative coach builders, the car is offered with old-style logbook and Swansea V5. Also with the car is a large history file including restoration receipts and even a black and white photo of a previous owner. Buyer's premium of 12% inclusive of VAT @ 20%
