Kris Martin 1972 Kortrijk (Belgien) - lebt und arbeitet in GentEncyclopédie. 2007.Objekt. Encyclopédie d`Histoire Naturelle, Paris 1850, in Tischvitrine. Auf der letzten Seite des Inhaltsverzeichnisses signiert und datiert `20/2/2007`. Buch: 29,5 x 20,5 x 4 cm (11,6 x 8 x 1,5 in). Vitrine: 90 x 70 x 50 cm (35,4 x 27,5 x 19,7 in).[JS].Mit Zertifikat.PROVENIENZ: Sies + Höke, Düsseldorf.Privatsammlung Rheinland. Kris Martin, eine der Größen gegenwärtiger Konzeptkunst, wird im Jahr 1972 im belgischen Kortrijk geboren. Er verschreibt sich ganz der tief intellektuellen Concept Art. Das ?uvre, das Installationen und Objektskulpturen ebenso umfasst wie Zeichnungen, Fotografien und Schriftbilder, kann leitmotivisch mit der Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Werk, Rezipient und Zeit in Verbindung gebracht werden. Vergänglichkeit und Endlichkeit, Erinnerung und Imagination erhalten auf vielfältige Weise Gestalt. Durch Entkontextualisierung und Verfremdung wird dabei das Vertraute fremdartig und erhält so besonderen Reiz und außergewöhnliche Anziehungskraft. Dies gilt beispielsweise für die große Kirchenglocke, die den Besucher der großen Einzelausstellung `Every Day of the Weak` (2012, Kestnergesellschaft Hannover/Aargauer Kunsthaus/Kunstmuseum Bonn) mit kraftvollem Schwung empfängt, aber dabei keinen Ton von sich gibt: Der Klöppel fehlt. Exemplarisch für das ?uvre ist auch Kris Martins Umgang mit Kafkas `Verwandlung`: Er schreibt das berühmte Werk ab, allerdings übereinander, Wort über Wort geschichtet auf ein kleines Blatt Papier. Zurück bleibt ein abstraktes, geheimnisvolles Zeichengeflecht, eine kongeniale `Verwandlung`. Und auch geistreicher Humor kommt nicht zu kurz, so schreibt Kris Martin 2013 auf zwei Blätter Papier die Sätze `1 Thing is certain` und `Friedrich Nietzsche is dead`. Was anmutet wie ein Scherz unter Bildungsbürgern, ist zugleich subtiles spirituelles Bekenntnis. Kris Martins Werke sind auch neben der oben genannten umfassenden Museumsschau Gegenstand zahlreicher internationaler Einzelausstellungen, etwa in Innsbruck (2014), London (2013) oder Wien (2012).

Encyclopédie d`Histoire Naturelle, Paris 1850, in table display case. Signed and dated `20/2/2007` on last page of table of contents. Book: 29,5 x 20,5 x 4 cm (11,6 x 8 x 1,5 in). Display case: 90 x 70 x 50 cm (35,4 x 27,5 x 19,7 in).[JS].With certificate.PROVENANCE: Sies + Höke, Düsseldorf.Private collection Rhineland. Kris Martin was born in 1972 and is based in Ghent, Belgium. Kris Martin?s practice is poetic, deeply contemplative and yet always situated within the traditions of conceptual art. With his monumental and small-scale sculptures, drawings, photographs, performances and interventions, he draws attention to the notion of time, often by attempting to mark, halt or transcend its inevitable passing. Frequently his work engages in humankind`s most fundamental issues with a wry sense of humour and play. That the idea of play and the notion of death can sometimes be contiguous is at the centre-point of Untitled (2013). The work is comprised of an installation of standing stones. Cut into the shape of gravestones and arranged in the formation of dominos, these blank slates could suggest either a cemetery or a deck of tiles, waiting to fal

A RARE SOUTH GERMAN HEAVY BRONZE WALLGUN (DOPPELHAKEN ), DATED 1525, PROBABLY NUREMBURG 2.4cm calibre, the barrel cast in five stages with four characteristically narrow roped girdles, the forward four stages with raised scalloped edges, the muzzle and the forward section rounded, the muzzle flared slightly and with standing fore-sight, the rearward sections octagonal and widening progressively towards a short rectangular beech, cast with a large hook-like recoil-stop impaled by a transverse bolt and incised with an unusual numbering device on the right-hand side, probably that of the bronze founder , the penultimate rearward section decorated at its base with an engraved band of scale ornament arranged in triangular groups bordering a raised roped girdle at the breech, cast in relief with a shield quartered with a coarsely incised coat-of-arms and with the date "1525" also in relief on a stippled scroll above, the breech with bevelled leading edges, a further engraved scale pattern below a slotted back-sight projecting from a roped moulded base, the vent with integral pan on the right (pivot cover missing), and the underside with two lugs also carrying transverse bolts for mounting a stock: with later heavy wooden stock well-reconstructed in early 16th century style, with bevelled upper edges, the sides strongly bevelled forward of the recoil-stop, faceted behind the breech and with tapering separate tiller bound by an iron band 145.4 cm; 57¼ in barrel, 214.6 cm 84½ in overall Hakenbüchsen of this large size are correctly known as doppelhäken and were intended to be fired from a stand or tripod carriage and served by two men as a piece of light artillery. An example with closely comparable characteristics is preserved in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremburg (W 3000); this piece is most probably from the same foundry as the present example and is cast with the arms of Kressenstein. See Essenwein, Graz 1969, vol.1 p.114 and vol.2 pl. B. VII, fig.e. Another closely comparable example was previously privately sold from Schloss Langenburg and is now in a Bavarian private collection. The high quality of the casting in each case is in keeping with the leading Nuremburg bronze cannon foundries of the period. Each of the comparable examples is on its original wooden beam-shaped stock. The example formerly in Schloss Langenburg is also cut with a similarly improvised numbering device on the recoil-stop. This form of numbering system was evidently in common use in Southern Germany in the early 16th century; similar markings appear on a tally slate in a woodcut of a tavern scene by Erhard Schön of Nuremberg, circa 1530: see Trömner 2009. A conventionally sized hakenbüse of comparable form is marked in a similar manner on its hook and is in the historic town armoury of Hasselt in the Netherlands: see Kempers 1983, No.9, p.60, marking reproduced p. 77. Five bronze doppelhäken comparable with the present example are included in a finely drawn and coloured illustration in the near-contemporary Zeugbuch der vorderösterreichischen Lande (Folio 107), in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna: see Schedelmann 1972, colour frontispiece, pl.1. The stock for the present barrel is closely modelled on authentic examples, probably those in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum
