PHILIPPE HALSMAN (Riga, 1906 - New York, 1979)."Cosmic Dalí", 1948.Photograph on silver gelatin.Presents signature, and stamp "Copyright by Philippe Halsman" on the back.Size: 20.5 x 17.5 cm; 44.5 x 41.5 cm (frame).Halsman studied electrical engineering in Dresden, after being accused of the murder of his father, he spent two years in prison. On his release Halsman decided to move to France, where he began contributing to fashion magazines such as Vogue and soon earned a reputation as one of France's finest portrait photographers. Famous for his sharp rather than soft-focus, tightly cropped images. When France was invaded by Germany, Halsman fled to Marseille. He eventually managed to obtain an American visa, with the help of his family friend Albert Einstein, whom he later photographed in 1947. Halsman had his first success in the United States when the cosmetics firm Elizabeth Arden used his image of model Constance Ford against the American flag in an advertising campaign for "Victory Red" lipstick. A year later, in 1942, he found work at Life magazine, photographing hat designs; in 1941 Halsman met the surrealist artist Salvador Dalí and they began collaborating in the late 1940s. The 1948 work Dalí Atomicus explores the idea of suspension, depicting three cats flying, a bucket of water being thrown and Dalí in the air. The title of the photograph is a reference to Dalí's work Leda Atomicus, which can be seen on the right of the photograph behind the two cats. Halsman and Dalí eventually published a compendium of their collaborations in the 1954 book Dali's Moustache, which presents 36 different views of the artist's distinctive moustache. Another famous collaboration between the two was In Voluptas Mors, a surrealist portrait of Dalí next to a large skull, in fact a tableau vivant composed of seven nudes. In 1947 Halsman took what would become one of his most famous photographs of a mournful Albert Einstein, who during the shoot recounted his regret at his role in the United States pursuing the atomic bomb. The photo would later be used in 1966 on a US postage stamp and, in 1999, on the cover of Time magazine, when it called Einstein the "Person of the Century". In 1951, NBC commissioned Halsman to photograph several popular comedians of the time, including Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Groucho Marx and Bob Hope. The photographer developed a philosophy of jump photography, which he called jumpology. He published Philippe Halsman's Jump Book in 1959, which contained an ironic discussion of jumpology and 178 photographs of famous jumpers.

Bodhisattva head. Possibly Thai, 17th-18th century.In bronze.Part of the skull is missing.Wooden base.Size: 17 x 14 x 13 cm. head; 13 x 11,5 x 11,5 cm. pedestal.Representation of Buddha or bodhisattva in bronze, possibly Thai. The serene face, with a sketched smile, symbolises the balance of a perfect being. The lowered eyelids are a symbol of spiritual concentration and purity, due to their similarity to the petals of the lotus. The hairstyle also identifies the iconography of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas: the curls that cover the skull like small snails and form a double skull (ushnisha), which is a symbol of meditation and spiritual life, because it is meant to evoke a temple. However, in this piece the bun has been lost due to a breakage.

STATUETTE DE KALAJAMBHALA EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRETIBET, VERS XVE SIÈCLEHimalayan Art Resources item no. 4650 5 cm (2 in.) highFootnotes:A COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF KALAJAMBHALATIBET, CIRCA 15TH CENTURY西藏 約十五世紀 黑財神銅像Provenance:With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970sStanding in warrior stance is the black form of Jambhala, who was popularized in Tibet by Bari Lotsawa (b. 1040). The god of wealth is depicted here as a dwarf, holding a jewel-spitting mongoose in his left hand and a skull cup in the right hand. Compare with a similar bronze published in von Schroeder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, Hong Kong, 1981, p. 172, no. 30B, and a similar image in black stone with similarly broad lotus petals dated to the 15th century (HAR 9004).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

STATUETTE DE KAPALADHARA HEVAJRA EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉDYNASTIE MING, XVE SIÈCLEHimalayan Art Resources item no. 4610 28 cm (11 in.) highFootnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF KAPALADHARA HEVAJRAMING DYNASTY, 15TH CENTURY 明 十五世紀 銅鎏金喜金剛像 Published:Arman Neven, Le tantrisme dans l'art et la pensee, 1974, p. 76, no. 390.Exhibited:Le tantrisme dans l'art et la pensee, Palais de Beaux-Arts, Bruxelles, 7 March - 10 April 1974.Provenance:With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970sBelonging to the highest class of Tantra in Tibetan Buddhism, this sixteen-armed form of Hevajra known as Kapaladhara Hevajra holds in each of his hands a skull cup with eight animals representing the Eight Diseases on one side, and eight Buddha-like deities representing the corresponding cures on the other. He holds his consort Nairatmya in his principal pair of arms, while she flings her right leg around his waist as they embrace one another in a cosmic, synchronous dance. Apart from bestowing good health and fortune to practitioners, these meditational deities (yidams) quash ignorance, here manifested as four Hindu deities, two of which kneel behind the supreme couple. This powerfully rendered gilt bronze follows in the early Ming dynasty's imperial sponsorship of Tibetan Buddhism. Arguably the most generous Buddhist art patron among the Ming rulers was the Yongle emperor (1403-24), who sought to reestablish the priest-disciple relationship introduced by the Mongol khans of the Yuan dynasty, and in so doing, legitimize his rule as their spiritual heir. Part of this initiative involved the creation of small, portable bronzes in a codified yet accomplished Tibeto-Chinese style, which were either received by visiting religious envoys or sent to Tibetan monasteries as diplomatic gifts. On the other hand, the practice of exchanging images between Tibet and China was lessened considerably under the Xuande emperor (1426-1435), as the fewer number of bronzes produced during his reign were largely intended as objects of worship in Chinese temples. The lack of an imperial reign mark notwithstanding, the following work retains much of the sculptural qualities associated with Ming bronzes from the 15th century. For instance, the slightly thinner features within the entire composition bear slight resemblance to two Xuande-marked gilt bronzes, including one Manjushri published in Uhlig, On the Path to Enlightenment, 1995, p. 122, no. 72, and an esoteric form of Tara sold at Sotheby's, Hong Kong, 2 October 2017, lot 3124. Furthermore, while the divine couple's elongated proportions, imposing weight, and denser jewelry reflect the desire for bolder figures in the Xuande period, the brilliant gilding, unevenly sized tripartite swags, and compact arrangement of the lotus petals with trifurcating tips reveals the artist's reliance on Yongle archetypes. (For example, compare the pedestals and flaring, tripartite swags depicted on a Yongle Vajrabhairava and Hevajra, sold at Sotheby's, Hong Kong, 7 October 2006, lots 812 & 814.) This juxtaposition suggests that the present lot is likely from the Xuande period or soon after, as subsequent periods all but abandon the narrow petal design in favor of a wider type with foliated tips. Compare the present lot's crown type to a Ming dynasty Yama published in Beguin, Dieux du Tibet, 2018, p. 133, together with a 15th-century gilt bronze Hevajra with closely related proportions and lotus base, sold at Sotheby's, London, 11 May 2016, lot 65.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

STATUETTE DE MACHIK LABDRÖN EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉTIBET, VERS XIVE SIÈCLEHimalayan Art Resources item no. 4633 13.5 cm (5 1/4 in.) highFootnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF MACHIG LABDRONTIBET, CIRCA 14TH CENTURY西藏 約十四世紀 銅鎏金瑪吉拉準像Provenance:With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970sThe historic figure Machig Labdron (1055-1153) was the founder of the Chod tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. She is memorialized here as a Tantric master, depicted as a sublime dakini, dancing with one leg raised, a hand drum, and a skull cup. Two Vajravarahi sculptures of similar scale and style were offered at Bonhams, Hong Kong, 19 November 2016, lot 119 and published in Bigler, Before Yongle, 2015, p. 114, pl 27. The artist's reliance on the lotus stem and sash rising from the base to support the figure's pose is a common structural feature of earlier Tibetan sculptures before the 16th century.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

STATUETTE DE VAJRABHAIRAVA EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉDYNASTIE QING, XVIIIE SIÈCLEHimalayan Art Resources item no. 4606 16.5 cm (6 1/2 in.) highFootnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF VAJRABHAIRAVAQING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY清 十八世紀 銅鎏金大威德金剛像Provenance:With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970sDepicted with the face of a bull while wielding a skull club (kapala danda) is Yamantaka Vajrabhairava, the wrathful form of Manjushri, whose name alludes to his triumph over the personification of death (Yama). In spiritual advisement with the Gelug order of Tibetan Buddhism, the emperors of the Qing dynasty were considered to be the living manifestations of the bodhisattva of wisdom, and images like the following work were likely made for an imperial-sponsored Buddhist temple. See two other examples of the same subject, one with a similar physiognomy (HAR 9041) and another holding a skull club (HAR 203448).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

STATUETTE DE PANJARANATA MAHAKALA EN ALLIAGE DE CUIVRE DORÉTIBET, XIVE SIÈCLEHimalayan Art Resources item no. 4605 16 cm (6 1/4 in.) highFootnotes:A GILT COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF PANJARANATA MAHAKALATIBET, 14TH CENTURY西藏 十四世紀 銅鎏金寶帳大黑天像 Provenance:With Claude de Marteau, Brussels, by 1970s Holding a flaying knife, skull cup, and club used to annihilate karmic defilements, Panjaranata Mahakala is the fierce guardian of the Hevajra Tantra and the chief protector of the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism. Despite his violent iconography, the artist refrains from depicting Panjaranata Mahakala with gruesome features, instead casting an approachable dwarf-like figure with a handsome face and a subdued grimace, understanding the deity's formidable, but ultimately protective, demeanor. Such an exceptional gilded bronze would have required an experienced and dexterous hand, evinced by Mahakala's stocky yet balanced proportions, the snakes coiled around his earrings, the irregular rippling of his scarf, and a corpse whose hair hangs over the side. Moreover, the thickly-beaded lower rim of Mahakala's lotus base is a distinct feature of Pala-period bronzes, comparable to several examples published in von Schroeder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, Hong Kong, 1981, pp. 290-1, nos. 73A, B, G, & H). This familiarity with Northeast Indian decoration, combined with the chased striped fur of Mahakala's tiger pelt, suggests that this image was created by a Nepalese artist on behalf of a Tibetan patron during the 14th century. Compare with an image of Takkiraja, whose apron and scarf ends are subtly decorated with small chased lines, published in Grewenig & Rist, Buddha: 2000 Years of Buddhist Art, 2016, p. 396, no. 171. And more importantly, compare the similar jolly countenance and swirling striped pattern of a tiger skin worn by a 14th-century Panjaranata in parcel-gilt, published in Rhie, Wisdom and Compassion, 2000, p. 444, no. 198 (67C). The focus of a state cult as the Mongol Empire's tutelary deity, Mahakala was credited with their defeat of the Southern Song dynasty (1127–79), solidifying Khubilai Khan's legitimacy as the first emperor of the Yuan dynasty (1271–1368). Images like the present lot, which were likely made at the height of Sakya authority in Tibet, later informed the art of the early Ming dynasty, whose emperors sought to harness this esoteric power for themselves. For example, compare the present lot's densely-packed lotus petal base to a gilt-bronze from the Yongle period (1403–24), published in von Schroeder, Buddhist Sculptures in Tibet, Vol. 2, Hong Kong, 2001, p. 1239, nos. 348A-B.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A siddha is an individual who, through the practice of sadhana, attains the realization of siddhis, psychic and spiritual abilities and powers. There are eighty-four Mahasiddhas of Tantric Buddhism who can be male and female, kings and beggars, young and old, monks and laymen who through experiencing different kinds of life crises, attain the realization of the Buddha's teachings leading to the status of a guru or a tantric master eventually. Tibetan Buddhist masters of various lineages are often referred to as Mahasiddhas (grub thob chen po or tul shug). There is a long tradition of hagiographies of these Tibetan adepts, called namtar. Important Tibetan mahasiddhas include Padmasambhava, Milarepa, and Tsongkhapa.As discussed by Huntington, "Vajrayana Buddhism shares many elements of the Mahayana path, but introduces the belief that enlightenment can be obtained in a single lifetime of intense arduous practice. Transformational meditations [...] force the psyche of the practitioner into new avenues of awareness. The ideal practitioner is still the Bodhisattva but in a new and radically different guise [...] The Mahasiddha, or "Great Adept," [who] comes to be known as a Vidyadhara, or "Bearer of Esoteric Knowledge".
