CHEMA MADOZ (Madrid, 1958)Untitled. 1996.Photograph. Positive bromide virado, copy 1/15.Presents label on the back of the Madrid gallery Moriarty.Size: 12 x 6 cm; 32 x 26 cm (frame).The way he interprets art through photography and his poetic vision make Chema Madoz one of the most interesting, influential and recognisable creators on the contemporary art scene. Emphasising the irony that underlies the objects and the hidden relationships between them. In a surrealistic search for new meanings, through which to let the imagination wander towards new paths, there is always an undercurrent of play. Playing with the everyday, generating associations, metamorphoses, in a playful background he generates a singular strangeness. His artistic work has been described as "analytical photography or visual trope" and his visual style as "surreal rationality or the logic of the oneiric", to refer to the compositions of objects that are the protagonists of his works - in the words of the philosopher and art historian Luis Arenas. Madoz manipulates, invents and photographs objects. Defined as a visual poet, the associations he develops from objects as commonplace as a key, a stone or a ladder lead to a torrent of creativity. In 1999 the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía presented the exhibition Madoz. Objects 1990-1999, the first solo exhibition that the museum dedicated to a living Spanish photographer. Internationally, he has exhibited at institutions such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam, the Fondazione M. Marangoni in Florence, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Caracas and the Multimedia Art Museum in Moscow. He has received the National Photography Award and the PHotoEspaña Award in 2000, and the Culture Award of the Community of Madrid in the category of Photography in 2012, among others.

ARIEL ELIZONDO LIZARRAGA ( Brussels, Belgium, 1968)."Cubismos & Cuartitas", 2022.Natural quartzite-moscavite stone and corten steel.Signed on the base.Certificate of authenticity of the artist enclosed.Measurements: 33 x 27 x 20 cm.Ariel's life has always been in continuous and intimate contact with natural stone, of which he is a true specialist both in its technical aspects and in its application for various professional uses. For many years he visited quarries all over the world and got to know in depth the natural formations of all types of rocks and stones, as well as the extraction, cutting and finishing processes. This rich working experience also gave him a solid knowledge of steel in a wide variety of forms and applications. During these years, his artistic vocation as a sculptor developed in parallel. In his youth he had the opportunity to study and become well acquainted with the schools of contemporary art in Belgium, but on his return to Navarre, his contact with the rich tradition of the Basque school of sculpture (Chillida, Oteiza, Mendiburu, etc.) spurred a methodical and profound investigation into the integration of both elements in a genuine and original way. Stone serves as a fundamental support, as the essence and base of the whole, whether in live rock or carved, and from it emerges steel in stylised and kinetic forms. Thus a vital dialogue takes place between the two elements: the origin and formation of nature in its primary aspect on the one hand, and on the other hand the personal development which in its lyrical or dramatic variants represents the search for an intensely personal path. The steel, always worked by hand and cold, emerges from the living stone in various forms, whether thin or thick, rusted or polished, natural or laminated in colours, and grows wavy or twisted in aesthetic adventures where stone and steel form a visual and suggestive dance to the point of the dreamlike and ineffable. Everything fits and is freely expressed in this choreography of two complementary materials, without excluding the dramatic sentiment, the heroic cry or the difficult balance of the everyday in human existence. It is an art that is not conceptual but conceptualised in vibrant symbolism and full of expressive tension. It is a modern and current art because it sinks its roots in the primary and ancestral to project itself into that uncertain future that sometimes scares us and always challenges us, an art that with very ethnic elements manages to elevate itself to a universal language.

East India Company, Bombay Presidency, Later Uniform coinages, 1830-5, Bombay dies, copper Proof Half-Anna, 1832/1246h, arms and supporters, east india company above, date below, rev. scales, half anna above, adil [Justice] between pans, date below, edge plain, 10.89g/6h (Prid. 204 [Sale, lot 495]; Stevens 5.15; KM. 250). Extremely fine and toned, extremely rare [certified by NGC as a Pattern, graded PF 61 BN] £2,000-£2,600 --- Provenance: P. Snartt (Bristol, UK) Collection SNC (London) May 1980 (3843), ticket. Owner’s ticket. The building of a new mint at Bombay commenced with the laying of the foundation stone on 1 February 1825. But as far back as 1820 the Company had been engaged with Boulton, Watt & Co for the necessary minting machinery, with its emissary, Capt (later Major) John Hawkins, Bombay Engineers, making several visits to Soho, but work did not start until February 1823 and the presses, along with the sub-contractors to operate them and Hawkins himself, did not leave England until the autumn of the following year. Numerous local setbacks ensured that the first trial pieces, thought to be the ‘lion and palm’ coppers struck at the end of 1828 and described in a letter from Hawkins to Boulton in February 1829 (see Lot 562), met with a mixed reception. The Court of Directors ordered the new machine-struck coinage, of half-, quarter- and twelfth-annas, be made to a lighter weight standard, which caused concern, but manufacture of quarter-annas began on 22 November 1830 and twelfth-annas early in 1831. The old Bombay mint was closed in April 1831 and staff transferred to the new facility, but the increasingly-ill Hawkins had died two months earlier. A small number of half-annas dated 1832 were struck and a few appear to have escaped into circulation; 12 proofs were sent to London for approval by the Court of Directors, but the Bombay die-sinker, a Mr Clarke, had resigned in an apparent fit of pique, causing the mint engineer, Capt Frederick McGillivray (†1838), Royal Engineers, to request a complete set of new matrices from the mint at Calcutta
