With his profits from his plays and books, Denslow bought a small island in Bermuda, built a “castle” on it, and crowned himself King Denslow I of Denslow Island. He began drinking heavily as his career went into a slump, and spent his last years working for a third-rate advertising agency in New York, drawing postcards, sheet music covers, advertising booklets, and an occasional magazine illustration. In 1915, he unexpectedly sold a cover to the popular humor weekly, Life, went on a bender with the money, caught pneumonia, and died. [26473-1-150]

Artist: Mikhail Larionov (Russian, 1881 - 1964). Title: "Grand Bal des Artistes…Travesti Transmental…1923". Medium: Original color woodcut . Date: Composed 1923. Dimensions: Overall size: 8 3/4 x 10 7/8 in. (222 x 276 mm). Image size: 8 7/16 x 10 in. (214 x 254 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed by Larionov in pencil, lower center, directly above his printed signature. The printed price of 15 francs crossed out, annotated "ticket gratuit" (in another hand?). Cream wove paper. Full margins. Excellent impression. Good condition with no notable issues; the paper is a bit brittle. Literature/catalogue raisonne: Le Peintre et L'affiche, Union des Arts Decoratifs, Paris, 1988. Provenance: Estate of Seymour Hacker, Hacker Art Books/Gallery, NYC (his personal collection). Comment(s): No auction records of a signed impression have been located. Auction sales of the unsigned poster include: Swann Galleries, NYC, (Modernist Posters, #2079) - 05/08/2006 - lot#87, realized $4,370; Poster Auctions International, Inc. (Winning Posters XLIV) - 05/06/2007 - lot#325, realized $2,990; and Swann Galleries (Modernist Posters, Sale #1897) - 05/07/2001 - lot#10, realizing $2,530. The poster is printed in brown and ochre, the price "15" added by rubber stamp. The large abstract design, lettering and smaller image have all been printed from separate wood blocks, cut by Larionov himself. His signature appears at the foot of the sheet below the large design. "Arriving in Paris in 1914, Larionov became one of the major figures of the twentieth-century avant-garde, at least in part because of his relationship with Diaghiliev, with whom he worked for years at the Ballet Russes. From Fauvism to Rayonism (which he himself founded), he paved the way to the Futurism of Marinetti and for artists like Francis Picabia and Man Ray. With his wife, Natalia Gontcharova, Larionov organized key exhibitions (which has titles such as the Knave of Diamonds, The Tail of the Ass, The Golden Fleece), as well as endless parties, balls, and crazy events in Montparnasse. It is thus quite fitting that he designed the poster for one of the artists' balls of the Union of Russian Artists. Using only two colors, brown and ochre, as well as hand-cut letters, the image suggests smaller yet recognizable versions of the cubist figures and works of art. The poster has a definite flavor of the Paris avant-garde in the 1920s. Very rare." (Nicholas D. Lowry). Image copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. [6869-2-1600]

Artist: Yves Klein (French, 1928-1962). Title: "Timbre bleu". Medium: IKB pigment on postage stamp. Date: Composed 1957-1959. Dimensions: Overall size: 1 x 3/4 in. (25 x 19 mm).Lot Note(s): Edition unknown. Fine condition. Provenance: The stamp was originally a gift of the artist to the head of the design department for printed matter and catalogs for the Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden in the late fifties and early sixties. Bengtsson Fine Art, Sweden, acquired them from this employee and they then were purchased at artnet.com. Comment(s): Klein Timbre Bleu stamps are rare and individual stamps have sold at auction as high as $11,930 (€9,000) (Piasa, Paris, 01/21/2014, lot #94). Effectively Yves Klein paintings in miniature, these stamps are from a series Klein made in 1957 by painting blocks of blank stamps with what was to become his signature, the patented blue pigment officially registered as IKB, or "International Klein Blue". The blue stamps were created for mailing invitations to the opening of two pivotal exhibitions, in May 1957, at the Galerie Iris Clert Gallery and the Galerie Colette Allendy Gallery, both in Paris. The postal authorities were cajoled by Klein into accepting the stamps as if they were actual postage stamps printed by the French government, and they delivered all of the invitations. Klein's handmade blue stamps thus formed an important part of the "performance" that every Yves Klein gallery opening entailed (in addition to being a venue, in the conventional sense, for introducing Klein's latest work to the public). Klein continued to use the stamps for two years following their 1957 introduction. Image copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / ADAGP, Paris. [29883-1-1600]

Edition unknown, presumed very small. High-grade archival paper. Wide margins. Fine, quality printing. Very good to fine condition. Comment(s): Drtikol’s nudes show development from pictorialism and symbolism to modern composite pictures of the nude body, with geometric decorations and thrown shadows, where one finds a number of parallels with the avant-garde works of his epoch. These often are reminiscent of Cubism, and at the same time the nudes suggest the kind of movement that was characteristic of the futurism aesthetic.

Condition: good; some foxing and browning with color attenuation; no serious problems. Literature/catalogue raisonne: See: Beraldi, Volume 8, pg. 229; IFF2; B4. Provenance: Ex-collection Cortlandt F. Bishop, with his stamp, verso; M. Knoedler, NYC, with their labels from frame back, separate from the print, since lost. Comment(s): A rare print even with letters. We could find only three sales at auction, all with letters, in the past 25 years, the last in 1995 (sold at $1,168). The print shows a part of the Boulevard du Temple, then called the Boulevard du Crime. "Jean Pierre Marie Jazet was one of the most prominent aquatint engravers of the Napoleonic era. He worked almost exclusively in aquatint, reproducing the paintings of the grand Republican artists such as David, Vernet, de Gros, and Grenier. Although the majority of his prints were patriotic images, he also produced many fine aquatints of pastoral paintings and genre scenes. His fresh images exhibit the beauty of the medium and exemplify his amazing technical ability. His extremely complex prints are fluid yet detailed; they express the beautiful painterly technique of the medium…" Courtesy: Donald A. Heald. [24412-4-800]
