Sturtevant (1924-2014)Study for Warhol's Marilyn 1965 signed, titled, and dated 1965acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas50.8 by 40.6 cm.20 by 16 in.Footnotes:This work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné being compiled by the Sturtevant Estate, Paris.ProvenancePrivate Collection, HoustonAcquired directly from the above by the present owner circa 1977Each artistic generation is defined by its novel visionaries and 'enfants terribles'; Marcel Duchamp, Robert Rauschenberg, Maurizio Cattelan, Richard Prince – these are artists whose work shatters the cultural zeitgeist and reshapes the landscape of contemporary art practice in its time. American artist Sturtevant was one of the most prominent and highly regarded conceptual pioneers of the latter half of the Twentieth Century, caricaturing and challenging the entrenched ideas of what constituted the art image and object, inspiring artists, philosophers, and critical theorists for generations. In the painting presented here for sale, there is no finer representation of Sturtevant's lifelong artistic project than this: one of the earliest Study for Warhol's Marilyn works, from 1965, the first year of her 'repetitions,' as she termed them. Executed with all the panache of a consummate master, the underpainting, silkscreen quality, and electrifying colour palette are superbly definitive of the Pop Art canon that she sought to rattle. Her ideas were revolutionary and her artworks supremely astute, engaging in the broader discourse around media and cultural theory that had gained immense traction with artists, writers, and critics in the early 1960s. Her practice went head-to-head with the artist-titans of her time, repeating the paintings of Frank Stella, Jasper Johns, and Anselm Kiefer. Sturtevant's Warhol Marilyn series, however, stands as the most iconic of her career. Superimposing images and techniques, upending the symbolic order of source material and artistic license – using not only the visage of the most recognisable leading lady of the last 70 years, but also the most illustrious portrait of the same era – Sturtevant forced the audience to consider the work of art holistically. Her ideology represented the apex point of Warhol's own practice that conflated ubiquity and fame. Her artworks suspended meaning, and instead engaged the spectator in a hierarchy of images and information, undermining the authorial roots and aura of the work of art. Unlike many whose appropriation has inspired backlash, such as Richard Prince, Jeff Koons, and Sherrie Levine, Sturtevant's Marilyns were painted not only with Warhol's blessing, but with the technicians and materials made available to her at the Factory; the canvases, paints, and screens identical to those that Warhol began producing after the actress's untimely death in 1962. Sturtevant claimed that later, when asked how he made his silkscreened works, Warhol told people to 'ask Elaine [Sturtevant].' Her paintings cannot simply be termed 'copies,' therefore, but are instead something much more complex and subversive, entering the philosophical realm of simulacra – a term the artist consistently nodded to as her holy grail and creative driving force. In an age interwoven with digital and virtual machinations that replicate, reshape, and have largely replaced our engagement with 'the real,' Sturtevant's work has become still more relevant and arresting. Shifting to video and digital art in the latter decades of her practice after moving to Paris in 1990, her earliest paintings retain a mysticism that is reserved for those works of art that are true originals – not simply in appearance, but in substance. In the present work, this sense of presence and significance is palpable and undeniable. As academic Patricia Lee wrote, Sturtevant's 'Warhol Marilyn provocatively embodies a decisive moment in the history of the object in art [...] It is in Sturtevant's work that the issue of the copy and its ramifications in Pop, Minimalism and Conceptual art crystallises' (Patricia Lee, Warhol Marilyn: Sturtevant, London, 2016, p. 17). Not only has Sturtevant's work grown to stand apart from those artists she emulated, but the historical and artistic importance of her practice is assured, with works in global museum collections that include the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Museu das Artes de Sintra, Portugal, in addition to her major career retrospective, Double Trouble, that took place at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2014. A painting by an artist who emerged to compete at the height of the Pop Art and Minimalist movements, Sturtevant's contribution to and importance as one of the definitive Postmodernists of the Twentieth Century can be held in no doubt, and Study for Warhol's Marilyn from 1965 stands as one of the earliest and most collectible works from her career to come to market.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A museum-quality painting by one of the most significant and celebrated painters of the late Modernist period, it is in the present work that we see Noland's mature style at its best; a visual symphony of unrepeatable simplicity, and one of the most accomplished 'stripe' paintings that Noland began to produce at the end of the 1960s. Noland's practice stands at the inflexion point between Modern and Postmodern painting. One of the last true pioneers of colour field painting that was ascendant in the New York School in the 1950s, his paintings expanded the colour theories of Josef Albers and the systems of the Bauhaus School, assimilating the automatic and expressive relationship to picture-making that had been championed by Noland's friend and patron, Clement Greenberg; what culminated is a body of work whose legacy endures as the quintessence of American Minimalism. In tandem with his abundant ties to the New York avant-garde of the mid-century, Noland developed his style out of much more worldly soil, consistently nodding to the likes of Paul Klee and Piet Mondrian as his touchstones; European artists who engaged deeply with the spirituality of abstraction over the significance of the picture plane. Mondrian's words offer a lens through which to read Noland's Return: 'what captivated us at first does not hold us afterwards. If one has loved the surface of things for a long time, one will finally look for something more. This 'more,' however, is already present in the surface one wants to go beyond [...] it is as we regard the surface that the inward image takes shape in our souls. This is the image we are to represent' (Piet Mondrian cited in: Diane Waldman, 'Kenneth Noland' in Kenneth Noland: A Retrospective, New York 1977, p. 11).His father, a pilot, engineer and painter, nurtured Noland's interest in the arts from an early age, once recalling the impact of scrutinising Monet's paintings during a visit to the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. when he was a teenager. From his formative years to those after his tours of duty, serving in the United States Air Force during World War II, Noland was immersed in a dialogue with contemporary painting. His studying at Black Mountain College under the pupillage of Josef Albers and Ilya Bolotowsky after the war, was followed in 1948 by travels to Paris on the G.I. Bill alongside Ellsworth Kelly, Sam Francis, Jules Olitski and Paul Jenkins, attending classes at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière taught by Ossip Zadkine. By the time of his moving to New York in 1963, after the death of his close friend and collaborator Morris Louis, Noland had absorbed, refined, and constructed a completely novel approach to painting. He was showing regularly with André Emmerich Gallery in New York, and his reputation as a master colourist at the forefront of painterly discourse was in no doubt. As he moved through the 1960s, developing his visual lexicon from 'targets,' to 'chevrons,' to shaped canvases, Noland's dexterity with acrylic – then named Liquitex, a new paint formula of water-soluble plastic – enabled him to modulate his application of colours across the raw cotton canvas with virtuosic skill. What emerged was the apex of the artists minimalist system, confining the narrow clusters of stripes to the top and bottom of the composition. Commenting on these most accomplished of his 'stripe' paintings, Diane Waldman noted that Noland 'appeared to be emptying the centers [sic] of his paintings [...] Colour here is intense but subdued, and Noland counters the effect of its unimpeded lateral sweep by investing the field with texture [...] these paintings represent Noland at his best' (Diane Waldman, Kenneth Noland: A Retrospective, New York 1977, p. 34).Return is one of the most sensitive and breath-taking of these rare 'stripes' to come to market. A painting that is teeming with almost imperceptible details and nuances over a limited palette of brilliantly organic colours, it is testament to the affective force of truly great painting that Noland spent his career devoted to. His influence as the grand master of painterly Minimalism endures in art, design, and architecture, and it is hard to view the works of Andreas Gursky, Rosemarie Trockel, or Steven Parrino, for example, without seeing the profound impact Noland had on the gravity of the surface, colour, and composition in contemporary picture-making. Residing in the collections of international public museums including the Centre Pompidou, Paris, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., the Tate Gallery, London, and the Tochigi Prefectural Museum of Fine Arts, Japan, Noland's career stands as one of the foremost contributions to art history of the last hundred years. Not only is Return one of the most elegant paintings executed by the artist over the course of his life, but it is one of the finest examples of Noland's 'stripe' paintings from a unique and highly acclaimed passage in his oeuvre. Its sale represents an opportunity to acquire one of the finest, museum-quality examples by a hugely significant and collectible blue-chip artist.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Executed in the early 1980s, the work comes from a seminal decade that would become a definitive period in the artist's oeuvre. His characterful hares have become established as popular landmarks in cities and landscapes worldwide and are included in institutional collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and the Tate Gallery in London, among others. This present work is from an edition of five, the most prominent of which is in the Minneapolis Sculpture Park on permanent display where it is widely visited and admired. 1979 marked Flanagan's departure from his post-minimalist works of the 1960s and 1970s where he used 'soft' materials such as hessian, sand and rope and rediscovered bronze casting in a figurative form. Flanagan began to produce a variety of bronze animals, but the hare emerged as his most recognisable subject. Flanagan grew up in Wales where hunters described to him the dynamism and physicality of hares and how their determination was unparalleled as they bounded through the wilderness. However, it was Flanagan's recollection of seeing a hare majestically leaping through the Sussex Downs and upon reading 'The Leaping Hare' by George Ewart Evans and David Thomson, that first inspired him to explore the motif. His earliest work Leaping Hare was exhibited at Waddington Galleries in 1980; it was the debut of what would lay the foundation for his future artistic practice, and two years later, in 1982, he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale. Flanagan was fascinated by the hare's anthropomorphic potential - its ability to amplify a range of expressive characteristics and convey meaning beyond what he felt possible in the human form. 'I use the hare as a vehicle to entertain. I abstract from the human figure, choosing the hare to behave as a human occasionally.' (The artist in: Enrique Juncosa, Barry Flanagan Sculpture 1965-2005, exh. Cat, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, 2006). Harebell on Portland stone piers conceived in 1983, exudes playfulness and bountiful energy. Flanagan was fascinated by the fluidity of the hare's anatomy. The hare, who actually delightfully spins on its axle, is depicted mid leap with its out-stretched limbs fully flexed, its ears pull behind him emphasising the velocity of movement, offering an exceptional sense of drama. The hare appears weightless, defying gravity, as it glides over the bell providing a comical contrast to the weightiness of the medium. The solidity of the bell provides further contrast emphasising a force of gravity, whilst also being a symbol of steadfast solidarity. Upon leaving St Martin's School of Art in 1966 Flanagan had established himself as a leading figure of the avant-garde. He was fascinated by the movement of 'Pataphysics, a theory defined as a 'science of imaginary solutions'. The ideologies represented an escape from reality that challenged academic seriousness and these principles had a profound influence on the Dada and Surrealist movements. An early member of this movement was Joan Miró, who in 1925 produced Landscape (The Hare). Miró depicts a hare in a vibrant imagined landscape adding a spiralled form and crescent shaped object. The hare challenges the viewer with its fixated eyes characterising its bold spirit. Miró, much like Flanagan, was said to have been inspired by seeing a hare dart across a field. It is considered that Flanagan used the motif of the hare as a metaphor for his own elusive, wild character and in response to the ideologies of 'Pataphysics as a tool against strict avant-garde academicism and the over-intellectualised view of art from that period. The present work was acquired by the prominent American collector and philanthropist Gerard L. Cafesjian. Born in 1925 in Brooklyn to Armenian immigrant parents, Mr. Cafesjian became a highly successful editor at West Publishing - a firm specialising in legal materials - and spearheaded the launch of the annual 'Art and the Law' exhibition, for which he received the prestigious Business in the Arts Award. Mr. Cafesjian's passion for collecting began with a childhood fascination with geology and gemstones, which later branched into fine art. Over the years, he patroned and developed personal relationships with world-renowned sculptors and ultimately assembled an impressive collection of both lapidary and fine works of art.Harebell on Portland stone piers is a seamless example of Barry ...

Unter der Leitung des Ägyptologen Edmé François Jomard (1777-1862) wurde die „Déscription de l‘Égypte“ erstmals 1809-1813 herausgegeben: „Normally this works consists of 8 folio vols. in 9 (the extra volume being vol 2 part 2 of the ‚Etat Moderne‘), 10 volumes of large folio plates and 3 volumes of elephant folio plates.“ (Atabey).

Das prachtvolle Werk lieferte eine Bestandsaufnahme der altägyptischen Denkmäler und die Darstellung des damals zeitgenössischen Ägyptens und diente als kunsthistorisches Inventar, das das Bild Ägyptens in Europa wesentlich erweiterte: „Diese intellektuelle Aufbereitung der während des Feldzuges gesammelten Erkenntnisse übertrifft an Umfang, Informationswert und Qualität der Abbildungen alle bis dahin bekannten Arbeiten im Rahmen der Ägyptenforschung. Die Description de l‘Égypte besteht sowohl aus Tafeln mit objektiver Wiedergabe der Denkmäler als auch aus Abbildungen idealer Rekonstruktionen der Denkmäler in Farbe.“ (Seipel, Wilfried. Ägyptomanie. Wien, 2000. S. 104, Anm. 23). - „A special engraving machine was invented by Conte especially for this work to enhance the quality of the plates; it is itself illustrated in the work. The fact that production took almost twenty years, the work being issued in livraisons, with the subsequent vagaries of binding, means that each copy differs to a certain extent. This is particularly so with reference to the coloured plates. It may have been the case that subscribers were allowed to make their own choice picking plates at random from each section, although the geological plates seem always to be coloured... The impulse which prompted Napoleon to take a scientific commission with him on his expedition to Egypt was probably driven by his desire for glory and his attempts to emulate Alexander the Great, who had also taken scientists and savants with him on his expedition to India. Whatever lay behind the impulse, the results were both tragic and grand: many of the scientists, orientalists and artists Napoleon recruited never returned from Egypt, but the mass of material which they accumulated gave Europe its first great appreciation of both the ancient and modern Egyptian worlds and provided the basis for most of the 19th c. archaeology of Egypt...“ (Atabey). - Durchgehend und meistens in den Rändern etwas stockfleckig, teils ganzseitig gebräunt, nur vereinzelte Tafeln mit kleinen Randeinrissen. - Provenienz: Gest.

Over the next three years (after 1944), 46 more Fluegel covers were issued, all in a kind of neo-Realist style, marking Allied victories, the death of Roosevelt, the bombing of Hiroshima and Philippine independence. Probably the most popular were the 13 covers marking the liberation of the ''Overrun Countries,'' whose flags appeared on United States stamps in 1943-44. Artist: Herman F. FluegelIssued: 20th c.

(1)Footnotes:The Cardiff Times of 9th July 1910 reported the action as follows:The President of the United States has forwarded through the British Foreign Office for presentation to Captain Robert Jones and Chief Officer James Jones, of the Cardiff steamship Snowdonian, handsome pairs of binocular glasses, and also gold medals for Trimmer H.Dahmen and Seamen James McKenna, Owen Williams and David Jones, belonging to the same steamer, which have been awarded to them in recognition of their services in rescuing Captain Hudson, Mrs Hudson and the crew of the American schooner Henry Clausen Junior on November 7, 1908.The rescue for which the awards have been made was of a particularly meritorious and timely nature. When the Snowdonian arrived on the scene the crew had already abandoned hope of being rescued, and despite the encouragement they got from Mrs Hudson, who, it may be stated, was making a honeymoon trip, and stood in their midst singing hymns.The Snowdonian was on a voyage from Philadelphia for Messina, and at 11 o'clock on the morning of the 7th, the derelict schooner was sighted right ahead. All the crew, with Mrs Hudson, were huddled together on the top of the after house, the only part of the vessel above water.All the schooner's boats had been lost, so Captain Jones called for a crew to man a life-boat, with the trimmer and three seamen as crew.The rescue work was attended with great difficulty and danger, but after a hard battle with the elements all were taken off the wreck. before abandonment the vessel was set fire to prevent her becoming a menace to navigation.The Snowdonian is owned by Messrs. Owen and Watkin Williams and Co. Mount Stuart Square Cardiff.Owen Williams was one of four brothers who all died in WW1.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
