A silver mounted spirit flask, London 1904. Height 13 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The gilding on the interior of the silver cup is good. The makers marks are clear however the lion passant is almost virtually erased but the leopards head is still visible as is the date letter. The silver appears to be good albeit tarnished with no signs of any dints or repairs. The lower section of the glass flask (where the silver cup covers) has a small bruise but this feels smooth to the touch. The remainder of the upper section of the glass is in relatively good order with only a very few minor flea bite nibbles on some of the faceted edges but these cannot be seen with the naked eye. The hallmarks on the top are good and clear. There is only one very small almost insignificant pinpoint size dint to the lid. The seam around the middle of the top is visible around 50% of it but again this is not visible to the naked eye. The top hinge is secure. The top twists and hinges as it should. It has a cork seal. The interior of the glass flask neck has tiny nibbles and there is one tiny rim chip. The wear and tear noted is rather minimal given its age.

Informel und Abstrakter Expressionismus 1946-1964, Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf 2010, cat. no. 133, p. 147, illAt the beginning of the 1950s, Emil Schumacher detached himself from the object as a pictorial motif. Here, in this painting from 1959, the material and painting are at the centre of his creative work as their own, meaningful expression, entirely in the spirit of Informel. Nevertheless, the strongly graphic element allows some fascinating discoveries: the viewer cannot help but unite the black lines lying on the white surface and resembling a cipher into a figurative construct. The line construct evokes associations and reveals the contours of a human being. Is there a person standing on skis in a wintery white landscape? At the same time, Schumacher makes the artistic moment, the creative process, visible in the roughness of his partly broken and sublime surfaces. The artist shares testing and experimenting with new materials, processes and techniques throughout his entire oeuvre with the viewer. It is not unusual for him to choose titles for his works that are later invented, full of associations, that sometimes originate from his imagination or are based on real places or persons and names.

Nr. 133, S. 147, Abb.Anfang der 1950er Jahre löst sich Emil Schumacher vom Gegenstand als Bildmotiv. Hier, im vorliegenden Gemälde von 1959, steht das Material und die Malerei als eigener, sinngebender Ausdruck im Zentrum seines Schaffens, ganz im Sinne des Informel. Dennoch erlaubt das stark zeichnerische Element einige faszinierende Entdeckungen: der Betrachter kommt nicht umhin, die auf der weißen Fläche liegenden, chiffreähnlichen schwarzen Linien zu einem figurativen Konstrukt zu vereinen. Das Linienkonstrukt weckt Assoziationen, lässt die Umrisse eines Menschen erkennen. Steht da eine Person in winterlich-weißer Landschaft auf Skiern? Gleichzeitig lässt Schumacher in der Rauheit seiner teils aufgebrochenen und erhabenen Oberflächen das künstlerische Moment, den Schaffensprozess, sichtbar. Das Testen und Experimentieren mit neuen Materialien, Verfahren und Techniken teilt der Künstler sein ganzes Oeuvre hindurch mit dem Betrachter. Nicht selten wählt er für seine Werke erst später erfundene, assoziationsträchtige Titel, die mal seiner Phantasie entstammen oder angelehnt sind an reale Orte oder Personen und Namen.

Provenance:- Galerie Hammelehle und Ahrens, Stuttgart- Private collection Spain.Exhibition:- Galerie Hammelehle und Ahrens, Stuttgart 2001- Frankfurter Kunstverein, 2003Literature:- Galerie Hammelehle und Ahrens (Ed.): Exhibito.-Cat. André Butzer: TODALL!, Berlin 2003, p. 15The work presented here by the Stuttgart painter and artist star André Butzer is one of his early works, which is still dominated by representationalism. The examination of figuration and abstraction is already visible in detail in this work and will soon be characteristic of his oeuvre as a whole. The artist is always concerned with questions of painting per se. "What can painting still express today" he seems to ask himself and the viewer in this and all his works.In the painting presented here, the artist combines pop and high culture in bright colors, which he places virtuously and pastily on the canvas: you find animated figures, inspired by his idol Walt Disney, as well as themes of art history, which the artist knows very well. The figures look like exaggerated, mutated comic figures with big round eyes and Pinocchio noses. At the same time, the work seems like a contemporary historical painting in which the protagonists named in the title "Bobby Bohnen und seine Hunde" (Bobby Beans and his Dogs) present themselves and become part of art history. Bobby Bohnen greets the viewer with a raised hand, while a dog grins cheekily. Their story seems to be continued in drawings on the back of the canvas.In addition to Walt Disney, Butzer also names Henri Matisse as a source of inspiration. Brown, red and blue tones are combined with the dominating bright green and violet tones to create a skilful play of colours that reflects the spirit of the times and would certainly have delighted the master of classical modernism.

André Butzer: TODALL!, Berlin 2003, S. 15Das hier präsentierte Werk des Stuttgarter Malers und Künstlerstars André Butzer zählt zu seinem Frühwerk, das noch von der Gegenständlichkeit dominiert ist. Die Auseinandersetzung mit Figuration wie Abstraktion wird im Detail schon in dieser Arbeit sichtbar und ist bald charakteristisch für sein Gesamtwerk. Denn dem Künstler geht es stets um Fragen der Malerei per se. "Was vermag die Malerei heute noch auszudrücken?" scheint er sich selbst und den Betrachter in diesem sowie allen seinen Werken zu fragen.Im hier vorgestellten Gemälde kombiniert der Künstler in schreiend bunten Farben, die er virtuos und pastos auf die Leinwand setzt, die Pop- und Hochkultur: Animationsfiguren, inspiriert von seinem Idol Walt Disney, sind darin ebenso zu Hause wie Themen der Kunstgeschichte, in der sich der Künstler bestens auskennt. Die Figuren kommen wie überzogene, mutierte Comicfiguren mit Kulleraugen und Pinocchio-Nasen daher, deren Geschichte einem Fotoroman gleich in Zeichnungen auf der Rückseite der Leinwand weitererzählt wird. Gleichzeitig mutet das Werk wie ein zeitgenössisches Historienbild an, in dem sich die im Titel genannten Protagonisten "Bobby Bohnen und seine Hunde" präsentieren und sich gut gelaunt in die Kunstgeschichte einreihen. Bobby Bohnen grüßt den Betrachter mit erhobener Hand, während ein Hund frech aus dem Bild grinst. Neben Walt Disney nennt Butzer u.a. Henri Matisse als Inspirationsquelle. So vereinen sich auch hier Braun-, Rot- und Blautöne mit den dominierenden knallig-leuchtenden Grün- und Violetttönen zu einem gekonnten Farbenspiel, das den Zeitgeist abbildet und das sicherlich auch den Meister der Klassischen Moderne begeistert hätte.
