Dimensions: Overall size: 8 3/4 x 10 7/8 in. (222 x 276 mm). Image size: 8 7/16 x 10 in. (214 x 254 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed by Larionov in pencil, lower center, directly above his printed signature.

Good condition with no notable issues; the paper is a bit brittle. 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.

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]

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.

Comment(s): This rare 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.

In 1926, Munakata saw Kawakami Sumio's black-and-white woodcut "Early Summer Breeze," and decided to work on black-and-white prints.

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.

Comment(s): 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.

Abrams, Inc., 2004. Comment(s): 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.

VON SPANIEN, GENERAL DER KAVALLERIE. Prinz Vittorio Emanuele von Savoyen-Aosta, Infant von Spanien, Graf von Turin (24. November 1870 - 10. Oktober 1946), Sohn König Amadeo I. von Spanien war ein Enkel von König Viktor Emanuel II. und ein Mitglied des Hauses Savoyen. Er war ein Cousin von König Viktor Emanuel III. von Italien. Vittorio Emanuele wurde in Turin geboren, kurz bevor sein Vater Prinz Amadeo von Savoyen, Herzog von Aosta, nach Spanien abreisen wollte, wo er zum König gewählt worden war. Seine Mutter war Maria Vittoria del Pozzo della Cisterna. Mit der Besteigung des spanischen Throns durch seinen Vater erhielt er den zusätzlichen Titel Infant von Spanien. Das Duell 1897 forderte Vittorio Emanuele Prinz Henri von Orléans zum Duell heraus, nachdem Henri in mehreren Artikeln in der Zeitung Le Figaro die italienischen Soldaten, die während des Ersten Italo-Äthiopischen Krieges in Äthiopien gefangen gehalten wurden, als Feiglinge bezeichnet hatte. Der Streit fand in Italien und Europa ein breites Echo. Man einigte sich auf das Schwert als Waffe der Wahl, da die Italiener der Meinung waren, dass Duelle mit Pistolen, die von den Franzosen bevorzugt wurden, nur für betrogene Ehemänner und nicht für Prinzen königlichen Blutes geeignet waren. Das Duell mit dem Schwert unter der Leitung des Grafen Leontieff und des Grafen Avogadro dauerte 26 Minuten und fand am 15. August 1897 um 5.00 Uhr morgens im Bois de Marechaux in Vaucresson, Frankreich, statt. Vittorio Emanuele besiegte Henri nach fünf Reprisen. Henri erlitt eine schwere Wunde am rechten Unterleib, und die Ärzte beider Parteien hielten die Verletzung für schwer genug, um ihn in einen Zustand offensichtlicher Unterlegenheit zu versetzen, was das Ende des Duells zur Folge hatte und Vittorio Emanuele in Europa berühmt machte. Die öffentliche Resonanz auf Vittorio Emanuele in Italien war triumphal. In Turin begrüßte ihn König Umberto I. mit den Worten: "Ich möchte der Erste sein, der Ihnen von ganzem Herzen zu Ihrem Beispiel und Ihrem Erfolg gratuliert". Im April 1898 brach Vittorio Emanuele zu einer Weltreise auf. Seine erste Station war New York City in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Nachdem er einen Tag im Newport Country Club verbracht hatte, überreichte er dem Club einen Silberpokal, der dem Sieger des jährlichen Golfturniers des Grafen von Turin überreicht wird. Nach seinem Aufenthalt in den Vereinigten Staaten besuchte er auf der nächsten Etappe seiner Weltreise China und Japan. Vittorio Emanuele schlug eine Karriere in der königlichen italienischen Armee ein und wurde Oberbefehlshaber der italienischen Kavallerie. Diese Position hatte er während des Ersten Weltkriegs inne. Nach dem Waffenstillstand wurde er von Frankreich mit dem Croix de Guerre ausgezeichnet. Vittorio Emanuele starb vier Monate nach der Ausrufung der Italienischen Republik in Brüssel. Er war der letzte überlebende Sohn von König Amedeo I. von Spanien.

Prince Vittorio Emanuele of Savoy-Aosta, Infante of Spain, Count of Turin (24 November 1870 ? 10 October 1946) was a grandchild of King Victor Emmanuel II and a member of the House of Savoy. He was a cousin of Victor Emmanuel III. Vittorio Emanuele was born in Turin just before his father Prince Amadeo of Savoy, Duke of Aosta was about to leave for Spain where he had been elected king. His mother was Maria Vittoria del Pozzo della Cisterna. With his father's accession to the Spanish throne he gained the additional title Infante of Spain. The Duel In 1897 Vittorio Emanuele challenged Prince Henri of Orléans to a duel, after Henri described, in several articles in the newspaper Le Figaro, the Italian soldiers being held captive in Ethiopia during the First Italo?Ethiopian War as cowards. The dispute was widely echoed in Italy and Europe. It was agreed on the use of the sword as weapon of choice, as the Italians thought duels with pistols, favored by the French, were worthy of betrayed husbands, not of princes of royal blood. The duel with swords, directed by the Count Leontieff and the Count Avogadro, lasting 26 minutes, took place at 5:00 am on 15 August 1897 in the Bois de Marechaux at Vaucresson, France. Vittorio Emanuele defeated Henri after five reprises. Henri received a serious wound to his right abdomen, and the doctors of both parties considered the injury serious enough to put him in a state of obvious inferiority, causing the end of the duel and making Vittorio Emanuele famous in Europe. The public response for Vittorio Emanuele in Italy was triumphant. In Turin King Umberto I. welcomed him saying, "I want to be the first to congratulate you with all my heart on the example you set and the success you scored". In April 1898 Vittorio Emanuele set out on a tour of world. His first stop was New York City in the United States of America. After spending a day at the Newport Country Club he presented the club with a silver cup which is presented to the winner of the annual Count of Turin golf tournament. After his stay in the United States he visited China and Japan on the next leg of his world tour. Vittorio Emanuele pursued a career in the Royal Italian Army and became the Commander in Chief of the Italian Cavalry. He held this position during the First World War. Following the armistice he was awarded the Croix de guerre by France. Vittorio Emanuele died in Brussels four months after the proclamation of the Italian Republic. He was the last surviving son of King Amedeo I. of Spain.

Orden & Ehrenzeichen Deutschland - Frankfurt : Concordien - Orden: Bruststern zum Großkreuz.Silberlahn und Silberfäden. Das zweiteilig gefertigte Medaillon Gold. Rückseitig vollständig erhaltenes Deckpapier. Bedeutendes Originalexemplar offizieller Fertigung aus der Werkstatt des Frankfurter Juweliers Wohack aus dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert, ca.1813. Der Concordien - Orden wurde im Jahr 1813, am 15. August, dem Geburtstag Kaiser Napoleon I., durch Carl von Dalberg (1744-1817), Fürst - Primas des Rheinbundes und Großherzog von Frankfurt gestiftet. Dalberg hatte als ehemaliger Kur-Erzkanzler des Heiligen Römischen Reiches Deutscher Nation am 16.02.1810 die Regentschaft des speziell für ihn errichteten Großherzogtums Frankfurt angetreten. Zur Sicherung der französischen Herrschaft hatte er zuvor den Adoptivsohn Napoleons, Eugène de Beauharnais, Vizekönig von Italien, als Nachfolger akzeptiert. Die ersten Verleihungen des Concordien - Ordens erfolgten anläßlich des 1813 geschlossenen Kirchenkonkordats in Fontainebleau. Der Orden existierte nur einige Monate und hörte bereits nach der Besetzung Frankfurts durch die verbündeten Österreicher, Preußen und Russen am 02.11.1813 de facto auf zu existieren. Laut abschließender Verleihungsliste vom 11. Juli 1814 wurden 18 Großkreuzdekorationen verliehen (vgl. H. Huner: "Der Konkordienorden des Großherzogtums Frankfurt", in: Heimat- und Geschichte - Jahresgabe der Aschaffenburger Zeitung f. d. Geschichtsverein Aschaffenburg, S. 20 - 21, Aschaffenburg 1940). Dieses Exemplar ist bei Klingbeil/Thies, Orden 1700 - 2000, Band I, S. 194/195, Nr. 584, abgebildet und beschrieben. Neben dem hier angebotenen Exemplar offizieller Fertigung existiert noch ein privat gefertigter Metallstern des Concordien - Ordens mit emailliertem Medaillon aus dem Besitz des Staatsministers und Ministers des Innern und der Justiz im Großherzogtum Frankfurt Franz Joseph Freiherr von Albini, vermutlich eine Anfertigung der Pariser Juweliere Coudray oder Biennais. Ein weiteres privat gefertigtes Exemplar aus dem Nachlaß des Ignaz Heinrich Freiherr von Wessenberg, Generalvikar und Bistumsverweser zu Konstanz, ist ebenfalls eine Metallausführung. Darüber hinaus existiert noch ein weiterer, unserem Exemplar sehr ähnlicher gestickter Bruststern in etwas größerer Ausführung. Außer diesen vier genannten Ordenssternen scheinen sich keine weiteren Originalexemplare erhalten zu haben. Einer der seltensten Orden der napoleonischen Zeit und durch die Verbindung zu Dalberg außerordentlich ineressantes und bedeutendes Zeugnis zur Geschichte der Stadt Frankfurt sowie des Rheinbundes und dem damit verbundenen Ende des Heiligen Römischen Reiches Deutscher Nation. German Orders and Medals - Grand Duchy of Frankfurt : Grand Duchy of Frankfurt - Order of ConcordGrand Cross Breast Star. Embroidered official issue. Silver lantern and silver threads. The medallion gold and made in two separate parts. Reverse with original paper cover. Highly important and excessively rare original breast star from the workshop of the Frankfurt jeweler Wohack. Early 19th century, ca. 1813. The Order of Concord was founded in 1813, on August 15, the birthday of Emperor Napoleon I, by Carl von Dalberg (1744-1817), Prince-Primate of the Confederation of the Rhine and Grand Duke of Frankfurt. Dalberg, as former Arch-Chancellor of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, had taken up the regency of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt, which had been established especially for him, on February 16, 1810. To secure French rule for the future, he had previously accepted Napoleon's adopted son, Eugène de Beauharnais, Viceroy of Italy, as his successor. The first bestowals of the Order of Concord were made on the occasion of the Concordat with the Holy See concluded in Fontainebleau in 1813. The Order existed only a few months and already ceased to exist after the occupation of Frankfurt by the troops of the allied Austrian, Prussian and Russian forces on November 2, 1813. According to the final award list of July 11, 1814, only 18 Grand Cross decorations were awarded (cf. H. Huner: "Der Konkordienorden des Großherzogtums Frankfurt", in: Heimat- und Geschichte - Jahresgabe der Aschaffenburger Zeitung f. d. Geschichtsverein Aschaffenburg, pp. 20 - 21, Aschaffenburg 1940). This breast star is illustrated and described in Klingbeil/Thies, Orden 1700 - 2000, Vol. I, p. 194/195, No. 584. Besides the official piece of insignia offered in this auction sale only three other breast stars are known to exist two of them beeing of private manufacture. There is a privately made metal star of the Order of Concord with enameled medallion from the estate of the Minister of State and Minister of the Interior and Justice in the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt, Franz Joseph Freiherr von Albini, probably made by the Parisian jewelers Coudray or Biennais. Another example from the estate of Ignaz Heinrich Freiherr von Wessenberg, Vicar General and Bishopric Administrator at Constance, is also a privately made metal version, but with a conventional two-part medallion in gold. In addition, there is another embroidered breast star in a somewhat larger version, which is very similar to our specimen. Apart from these four breast stars, no other originals seem to have survived. One of the rarest orders of the Napoleonic period and due to the connection to Dalberg an extraordinarily interesting and important testimony to the history of the City of Frankfurt as well as the Confederation of the Rhine and the associated end of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.
