Torpedosucher-Vorläufer 1930-31Leitz, Wetzlar. Die bislang früheste Form des Torpedosuchers für eine Leica - noch ohne Bildbegrenzungen, stattdessen zwei diagonale Linien als Zielkreuz sowie mit einem aufsteckbaren 90°-Winkelsucher, der das sonst seitenverkehrte Bild nun seitenrichtig zeigt. Zusammen in roter Original-Schachtel mit goldfarbener Prägung "Fernrohrsucher". Nicht in James L. Lager, Volume III erwähnt. Drei Raritäten in einem: die unbekannte frühe Version des Suchers, der dazugehörige völlig unbekannte Aufstecksucher für seitenrichtiges Sehen und die völlig unbekannte Benennung auf der roten Schachtel. Kein weiteres Exemplar bekannt und alles ist hervorragend erhalten. - Vermutlich war der Name Fernrohrsucher kaufmännisch ein Mißerfolg und wurde als Versuch vom Markt zurückgezogen. Der danach gewählte Name, die eingeführten Verbesserungen und das Fortlassen des die Seitenrichtigkeit betonenden Zusatzsuchers schlugen besser an - im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes Torpedo. - Eine einmalige Rarität höchsten Grades. Start Price: EUR 2800 Zustand: (2-/2-)Precursor of the Torpedo Viewfinder, 1930-31Leitz, Wetzlar. With two diagonal lines serving as crosshairs instead of the customary field frames, attachable 90-degree angle viewfinder showing the usually reversed image the right way up and original red card box with gilt-stamp "Fernrohrsucher", overall in excellent condition. - Note: The earliest form of a Leica torpedo-form finder seen to date, this model is not mentioned in James L. Lager’s "Leica, an Illustrated History" Volume III. It combines three rare and previously unrecorded features: the early version of the viewfinder, the attachable viewfinder for viewing images the right way up, and the designation on the red box. The name "Fernrohrsucher" (direct-vision optical viewfinder) was presumably not a commercial success and quickly withdrawn from the market. The later name, the improvements introduced and the omission of the additional viewfinder evidently struck a better chord with photographers. - The only example of this model that we know of. Start Price: EUR 2800 Condition: (2-/2-)

"Singer"-Plakette, Antriebsriemen, Nadel und Fußpedal sind komplett aus Holz gefertigt (78 x 42 x 94 cm). - Dabei ein Original-Pressephoto (A4), das Yoshimura mit seiner Nähmaschinen-Skulptur in seinem Studio zeigt. Rückseitig beschriftet "Fumio Yoshimura, husband of Kate Millet" und mit Pressestempel "The Observer, 24 Jan.". - Anläßlich seines Todes veröffentlichte die New York Times einen Nachruf und nannte ihn den "Sculptor of (the) Everyday". Fumio Yoshimura, geboren in Japan, studierte Kunst an der Kunstakademie in Tokio, emigrierte 1963 in die USA und lernte in New York autodidaktisch die Holzschnitzerei mit Meißel, Messern und Bohrern kennen. Er schuf sich sein eigenes Studio und kreierte detaillierte hölzerne Replikas von Pflanzen, Maschinen und verschiedensten Gebrauchsgegenständen wie Schreibmaschinen, Motorrädern und ausgefallenen Fahrrädern - alle Reproduktionen im Maßstab 1:1, aus unlackiertem Lindenholz. - 1965 heiratete Yoshimura die berühmte amerikanische Schriftstellerin, Bildhauerin und Feministin Kate Millet, die ihm 1970 ihr Werk "Sexual Politics" widmete. - Obwohl Yoshi­mura niemals Personen in seiner Arbeit darstellte, wurden in seinen Objekten indirekt deren Tätigkeiten dargestellt, wie in einem Apfelschäler mit einer halbgeschälten Frucht. Er erinnert mit seinen raffinierten Lin-denholz-Skulpturen, die er selbst "ghosts of the original objects" nannte, an die Zeit der Pop-Art und an den Funktionalismus von Andy Warhol. - Yoshimuras Skulpturen sind in namhaften Museumssammlungen zu finden, wie zum Beispiel im Philadelphia Museum of Arts, the Hood Museum of Art am Dartmouth College und im Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach. - Die hier angebotene Nähmaschinenskulptur ist ein attraktives Original-Kunstwerk eines großen und bedeutenden Künstlers der Moderne. Start Price: EUR 1800 Zustand: (2/-)Sewing Machine by Fumio Yoshimura, c. 1970Static linden wood sculpture of a treadle sewing machine with carved "Singer" plaque, bobbins, fretwork treadle, drive-belt and wheel, on serpentine base with drawer-fronts, wd. 30 ½ x dp. 16 ½ x ht. 37 in. (78 x 42 x 94 cm). - Accompanying the sculpture is an 8 x 11 in. press photograph of Yoshimura standing before this sewing machine sculpture in his studio, the reverse with pencil inscription: "Fumio Yoshimura, husband of Kate Millet" and press stamp from "The Observer" newspaper, 24. January. - Heralded by the "New York Times" as "Sculptor of (the) Everyday", Fumio Yoshimura (1926-2002) was born in Japan and studied painting at the Tokyo University of Arts. After moving to New York in 1963, Yoshimura taught himself wood carving with an assortment of chisels, knives and drills. He established his own studio and created detailed sculptures of ephemeral life, such as flowers and food, as well utilitarian items - typewriters, motorbikes, machines - which he reproduced on a 1:1 scale in unfinished linden wood. - In 1965 Yoshimura married the prominent American feminist author, artist and activist Kate Millet, whose 1970 work "Sexual Politics" is dedicated to him. - Though he never depicted people in his work, the "New York Times" notes that "human activities are often implied in objects like an apple peeler (containing) a half-skinned piece of fruit". The simple, pared-down lines of Yoshimura's everyday items, which he described as representing the "ghosts of the original objects", are reminiscent of the Pop Art movement and the functionalism of Andy Warhol. - Yoshimura's sculptures are to be found in the collections of national museums, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College and the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach. - A beautiful work by a significant modern artist.
