MARCEL MARIËN (1920-1993)Le cœur sur la main signé, inscrit et daté 'Le cœur sur la main 1991 Marcel Mariën' (sous la base)pierre et ruban dans une boîte en Plexiglas Exécuté en 1991signed, inscribed and dated 'Le cœur sur la main 1991 Marcel Mariën' (under the base)stone and ribbon in a Perspex boxExecuted in 199121 x 21 x 21cm (8 1/4 x 8 1/4 x 8 1/4in).Footnotes:ProvenanceCollection Jacques Schroeder, Belgique. Acquis auprès de celle-ci par le propriétaire actuel. Né à Anvers en 1920, Marcel Mariën est rapidement devenu l'un des membres les plus prolifiques du mouvement Surréaliste belge.Mariën a découvert le surréalisme en 1935 à travers deux peintures de son compatriote belge René Magritte lors d'une exposition d'art contemporain organisée au centre communautaire d'Anvers. Il rencontra Magritte deux ans plus tard en 1937 et rejoignit ensuite le groupe surréaliste dont il était le membre le plus jeune agé de 17 ans seulement. Ce fut cette année qu'il créa et exposa son tout premier objet surréaliste et son travail le plus connu : L'introuvable, une paire de lunettes à un seul verre.Ses travaux jouent avec la norme et la déforment, formant des ponts entre le langage, l'image et l'objet, jouant en concurrence avec la perception de la réalité. Ses expérimentations artistiques à travers différents media sont une preuve de sa polyvalence comme artiste et membre du mouvement.En dehors de sa participation au Surréalisme, Mariën était écrivain, poète et théoricien. Il écrivit la première monographie de René Magritte, publiée en 1943. En 1954 il fonda le magazine Les Lèvres Nues avec Jane Graverol et Paul Nougé et en 1979 il signa le premier livre de référence sur le Surréalisme en Belgique intitulé L'activité surréaliste en Belgique (1924-1950), pour ne nommer que ses publications les plus célèbres.Ses travaux sont conservés dans les institutions artistiques les plus prestigieuses du monde comme la Tate Modern à Londres, le Getty Museum à Los Angeles, le MoMA à New York, et le Musée royal des Beaux-arts à Bruxelles.Born in Antwerp in 1920, Marcel Mariën swiftly became one of the most prolific members of the Belgian Surrealist movement.Mariën discovered Surrealism in 1935 through two paintings by fellow Belgian René Magritte during a contemporary art exhibition organized at the Antwerp community centre. He met Magritte two years later in 1937 and subsequently joined the Surrealist group - he was the youngest member at 17 years old. It was this year that he made and exhibited his very first surrealist object and his most famous work: L'introuvable, a set of single-lens glasses.His works play and distort the accepted norm, creating bridges between language, image and object, all concurrently playing with the viewer's perception of reality. His experimentation with different media is testament to his versatility as an artist and member of the movement.Aside from his involvement with the Surrealists as an artist, Mariën was a writer, poet and theorist. He penned the first monograph of René Magritte, published in 1943; in 1954 he founded the magazine Les Lèvres Nues with Jane Graverol and Paul Nougé and in 1979 he authored the first reference book on Surrealism in Belgium titled L'activité surréaliste en Belgique (1924-1950), to name just a few.His works are housed in some of the world's most prominent modern art institutions such as Tate Modern in London, The Getty Museum in Los Angeles, MoMa in New York, and the Royal Museums of Fine Arts in Brussels.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A rare pair of Coade stone oval plaqueslate 18th centurymodelled in relief with a Roman sacrifice of a bull and Cupid being placed on the altar of lovethe back of both inscribed in pencilFrom Gt Saxham Hall around 177233cm high by 40 cm wide Eleanor Coade (d.1821) opened her Lambeth Manufactory for ceramic artificial stone in 1769, and appointed the sculptor John Bacon as its manager two years later. She was employed by all the leading late 18th Century architects. From about 1777 she began her engraved designs, which were published in 1784 in a catalogue of over 700 items entitled A Descriptive Catalogue of Coade’s Artificial Stone Manufactory. Then in 1799, the year she entered into partnership with her cousin John Sealy, she issued a handbook of her Pedlar’s Lane exhibition Gallery. The firm became Coade and Sealey from this date and following Sealey’s death in 1813, it reverted to Coade and in 1821 with the death of the younger Eleanor Coade, control of the firm passed to William Croggan, who died in 1835, following bankruptcy. Coade’s manufactures resembling a fine-grained natural stone, have always been famed for their durablity.Great Saxham Hall in Suffolk was rebuilt following a fire in the Palladian style by the architect Joseph Patience, a student of Sir John Soane and was finished in 1798. Alison Kelly in Mrs Coade's stone records that plaques and a coat of arms was supplied by the Coade manufactory, most of the plaques were removed circa 1840, however a spectacular Coade gothic folly stamped Coade and Sealy still stands.

An extremely rare Coalbrookdale Osmunda fern pattern cast iron seatcirca 1870fully stamped Coalbrookdale and with diamond registration stamps, registration number and pattern No 57194cm longSee engravingIn 1708 Abraham Darby took over a blast furnace in Coalbrookdale and established perhaps the most famous of names associated with cast iron, the “wonder material” of the 19th Century, namely the Coalbrookdale foundry. The company was responsible for producing the ironwork that made the famous iron bridge across the river in 1779, the first of its type in the world and which has subsequently been designated a UNESCO world heritage site.In the Mid 19th Century the company decided to add decorative castings to their range of products and the new seats, urns, fountains and ornamental gates won great praise as well as several medals at the Great Exhibiton of 1851. The company employed leading designers of the day such as John Bell and Christopher Dresser. The largely naturalistic seats for which the firms name became synonymous were so popular that production lasted into the 20th Century and even today the designs seem as fresh as when first produced.The design was registered and patented by Coalbrookdale at The Public Record Office on 29th May 1873, and is listed as number 57 in their 1875 Castings Catalogue, Section III, page 261. Due to the omplexity of the casting very few of these seats were ever produced as compared to the more common fern and blackberry pattern seats.The Victorians had a great passion for ferns and this passion was expressed, among other ways, through the production of a wide range of 'ferny' decorative objects made in pottery, glass, metals, textiles, wood, printed paper, stone and other materials.Although the main period of popularity of ferns as a decorative motif extended from the 1850s until the 1890s, the interest in ferns had really begun in the late 1830s when the British countryside attracted increasing numbers of amateur and professional botanists (male and female). By 1855, Charles Kingsley had recognised the prevalent passion for ferns as a phenomenon and in the course of encouraging the study of natural history in his book 'Glaucus', coined the term 'Pteridomania', meaning 'Fern Madness' or 'Fern Craze'.
