JEAN-CLAUDE FARHI (FRENCH 1940Ð2012)Grande colonne verte, perspexheight: 204 cm (80 1/4 in); diameter: 15.5 cm (6 1/8 in.) LOT NOTESJean-Claude Farhi, best known for his transluscent, large-scale columnar plexiglass sculptures, is considered one of the foremost figures of the influential Ecole de Nice group of the late 1950s-1960s, among Arman, Yves Klein and teacher and longtime collaborator Csar Baldaccini. His journey with plastic began in the mid-1970s, when he started using it for pedestals for his metal sculptures. Quickly seeing potential in the material's interaction with color and space, he dispensed with metal altogether. Shortly thereafter, the sculptor striked commissions from Gunter Sachs and Elie de Rothschild (a list now joined by Bill Gates), reveling in the transluscence and playfulness the plastic allowed him to produce. While "most sculptors work on the exterior of the sculpture," Farhi has said, he "started to think of putting everything on the inside," entrapping colors within. Both acrylic glass columns presented in this auction offer a dazzling display of Farhi's vision: dynamic, monumental, and luminous, they restore plastic to its futuristic origins.

MICHEL FRERE (BELGIAN 1961-1999) Untitled , 1996 oil on canvas 106 x 177 cm (41 3/4 x 69 3/4 in.) initialed and dated on verso PROVENANCE Collection of Richard Milazzo (label on stretcher) Sidney Janis Gallery, New York (label on stretcher)LOT NOTESMichel Frere was a Belgian abstract expressionist artist related to Informalist European postwar movements and groups, such as CoBrA, tachisme, and materialisme. Frere, with his rambunctious, large-scale canvases, viewed his work as a development of the ideas of artists such as Gustave Courbet (whom he loved for his landscapes), James Ensor and Eugène Leroy. Like other “materialist” artists - a term coined by art critic Michel Tapies to describe a certain kind of outsider art, or art brut, as it is known in Europe - including Jean Debuffet, Antoni Tapies and Lucio Fontana, Frere paid a great amount of attention to the surface qualities and presence of his works, often with the inclusion of unconventional painting materials. This piece, created in 1996, embodies both the artist’s love of landscape and his insistence upon a kind of literal substantiality. The pastose, weighty convergence of aubergine-browns, light greens, ochres, and a touch of cerulean, pays homage to the painterly outdoor scenes of the Barbizon school, and produces some of his most recognizable work.The following painting comes from the collection of art critic, publisher, poet and curator Richard Milazzo, author of a catalogue on Michel Frere and curator of several shows Sidney Janis Gallery, one of the most prominent platforms for avant-garde art in postwar New York. The Gallery, opened in 1948 and founded by eponymous art collector and entrepreneur Sidney Janis along with wife Harriet Janis, represented the likes of Lichtenstein, Warhol, Rosenquist and Oldenburg, and held exhibitions of Fauvist, Dada, Surrealist and De Stijl artists: Matisse, Mondrian, Giacometti, Arp, Leger. The Sidney Janis Gallery is perhaps best known for furthering the now-illustrious Abstract Expressionists, such as de Kooning and Pollock, and subsequently, the Pop Artists (the aforementioned Lichtenstein and Warhol) in its influential 1962 exhibition titled The New Realists."}" data-sheets-userformat="{"2":513,"3":{"1":0},"12":0}">LOT NOTES Michel Frere was a Belgian abstract expressionist artist related to Informalist European postwar movements and groups, such as CoBrA, tachisme, and materialisme.

SVETOSLAV NIKOLAEVICH ROERICH (RUSSIAN-INDIAN 1904-1993) Portrait of the Artist's Wife, the actress Devika Rani, sold along with a dedicated gift to Roerich from the Altai-Himalayas Conference each oil on board 30.5 x 40.6 cm (12 x 16 in.); the companion 20.3 x 27.9 cm (8 x 11 in.) comprising: a) a portait of the artist's wife Devika Rani (recto) and study of a woman (verso), and b) a landscape of the Himalays by an unknown artist. The second painting features a dedication to Svetoslav Roerich and his wife from the Yoga followers in Russian: Dear Svetoslav Nikolaevich! Participants of the International scientific and public conference "Altai-Himalayas-91", dedicated to the spiritual heritage of E.P.Blavatskaya, with the help of this work express their veneration of the contribution of the Roerichs' family to the spiritual rebirth of humanity and wish you and your wife Devika Rani-Roerich light and joy!LOT NOTES Svetoslav Roerich, son and chief collaborator of Nikolai Roerich, was a Russian-born painter, architect, illustrator and designer. Roerich’s peripatetic youth, from Russia to Finland to Great Britain to the United States, eventually led him to India, where he moved in 1931 and where he would go on to spend the rest of his life. Per his wishes, he was buried in Bangalore, at the 25-acre "Tataguni" estate he owned with his wife - soon to be remodeled into a museum of Roerich’s work. While Roerich began painting at a young age, it is his later portraits - including those of Nehru and Indira Gandhi at the historic Central Parliament Hall in New Delhi, his father and his wife Devika Rani, depicted here - that constitute the best-known part of his oeuvre.Film producer and actress (once student of Marlene Dietrich) Devika Rani, whose performances in some of the most popular films of the Indian Golden Age of Cinema earned her the title of “The First Lady of the Indian Screen,” married Roerich in 1945. Devika Rani sat for multiple large-scale paintings and countless drawings, some of the most sensitive portraits Roerich produced. Shown in profile, her chin upturned, her gaze undisturbed, Devika Rani imparts an air of composed sophistication. Her elegantly coiffed curled hair, softly highlighted skin, set against a background of mauve pink, as opposed to the majority of her portraits by Roerich, is less fraught with detail and decidedly more modernistic. Roerich outlines her silhouette with a single undulating stroke, parallelling her posture with three teal-colored forms at the lower left.The present portrait is accompanied by a mountainscape, dedicated to Roerich by members of the Altai-Himalayas Conference, whose name references Nikolai Roerich’s eponymous diaries. Like his father and mother, Svetoslav Roerich was deeply dedicated to the statues of the Treaty on the Protection of Artistic and Scientific Institutions and Historic Monuments, better known as the Roerich Pact, which, through his efforts, was signed by the Indian government in 1948. Besides an emphasis on the support of arts and sciences, the Roerichs were deeply influenced by the esoteric teachings of Theosopher Helena Blavatsky, referenced in the dedication. Throughout his life in India, Roerich actively lobbied for conservation efforts for ancient Indian art and monuments, and was, along with his parents, an inspiration to groups like those that organized the Conference.
