Renée Sintenis (1888 Glatz/Schlesien - 1965 Berlin) (F)'Liegendes Fohlen', 1919, Bronze, braun patiniert, 6 cm x 12 cm, RS monogrammiert, Expertise von Frau Dr. Berger anbei, Literatur: WVZ. Buhlmann 129, mit Abb. S. 210.Renée Sintenis gehört zu den wichtigsten deutschen Bildhauerinnen und Graphikerinnen der klassischen Moderne. Sie wirkte vor allem in Berlin und ist für ihre Tierplastiken, Sportlerskulpturen, Portraits und Akte bekannt. 1905 zog die Familie nach Berlin, wo sie bereits in der Schulzeit Zeichenunterricht erhielt, der später von Studien in Dekorativer Plastik an der Kunstgewerbeschule Berlin weitergeführt werden sollte. Als die Künstlerin wenige Jahre später Georg Kolbe kennenlernte, wurde sie sein Modell. Durch diese Tätigkeit angeregt, begann sie selbst weibliche Akte, ausdrucksstarke Köpfe, Sportler und Selbstportraits in Zeichnungen, in Radierungen und in bildhauerischer Form zu erschaffen. "Nach 1915 entstanden die prägnanten Tierfiguren, die zu ihrem künstlerischen Lebensthema wurden. Da sie die Monumentalität in der Bildhauerkunst ablehnte, kreierte sie vornehmlich kleinformatige Skulpturen. Diese schmalen Kunstwerke wie Pferde, Rehe, Esel und Hunde erfreuten sich beim Publikum großer Beliebtheit." Diese sollten ab 1913 über Jahrzehnte in der Bildgießerei Hermann Noack in ihre Form gegossen werden. 1931 wird Renée Sintenis als zweite Frau - nach der berühmten Käthe Kollwitz - in die Preußische Akademie der Künste aufgenommen. Doch wie für viele Berliner Künstlerinnen und Künstler bedeutet die Machtübernahme durch Adolf Hitler auch für sie einen tiefgreifenden Einschnitt. Sie wurde aus der Akademie ausgeschlossen, die Ausübung und Ausstellung ihrer Werke wurden verboten. Hinzukommt, dass durch den Zweiten Weltkrieg um 1941 der Bronzeguss verboten wurde, denn das Metall war für die Rüstungsindustrie unentbehrlich. Die künstlerische Arbeit wird für Renée Sintenis spätestens zu diesem Zeitpunkt nahezu unmöglich. Im Oktober 1942 stirbt unerwartet ihr Ehemann, und 1945 zerstören alliierte Bombenangriffe ihr Atelier, wobei zahlreiche persönliche Besitztümer und viele künstlerische Arbeiten verlorengehen. Doch das Kriegsende markiert für die Künstlerin einen Neubeginn. Im Berlin der Nachkriegszeit gelingt es ihr, an ihre Erfolge aus den zwanziger und frühen dreißiger Jahren anzuknüpfen. Auch zu akademischen Ehren kommt Renée Sintenis, denn 1955 wird sie als Professorin an die Hochschule für Bildende Künste sowie an die West-Berliner Akademie der Künste berufen. Zum Markenzeichen wird ihr Berliner Bär, der als verkleinerte Nachbildung einer 1932 entstandenen Bronzeskulptur in Silber und Gold zur begehrten Trophäe der alljährlichen Filmfestspiele "Berlinale". Das kleine Fohlen kann auf das Jahr 1919 datiert werden und ist somit ein Zeichen des großartigen Erfolgs der künstlerischen Ausübung der Berliner Künstlerin. Nicht ohne Grund wurde sie ab 1920 vom Galeristen Alfred Flechtheim ausgestellt, vertrat sie bis dahin Wolfgang Gurlitt, der ihre Werke neben derer von Max Beckmann, Max Liebermann und Karl Schmidt-Rottluff ausgestellt hat. Zudem wurde sie mit Ausstellungen in der Berliner Nationalgalerie, der Tate Gallery London und dem Museum of Modern Art in New York, in Paris, Glasgow und Rotterdam zu einer international anerkannten Künstlerin, dessen Werke bis heute in bedeutenden Sammlungen weltweit vertreten sind. Renée Sintenis (1888 Glatz/Silesia - 1965 Berlin) (F)'Liegendes Fohlen', 1919, bronze, brown patinated, 6 cm x 12 cm, RS monogrammed, expertise of Dr. Berger attached, literature: WVZ. Buhlmann 129, with Fig. p. 210.Renée Sintenis belongs to the most important German sculptresses and graphic artists of the classical modern age. She worked mainly in Berlin and is known for her animal sculptures, sports sculptures, portraits and nudes. In 1905 the family moved to Berlin, where she took drawing lessons while still at school, which would later be followed by studies in decorative sculpture at the Kunstgewerbeschule Berlin. When the artist met Georg Kolbe a few years later, she became his model. Inspired by this activity, she herself began to create female nudes, expressive heads, athletes and self-portraits in drawings, in etchings and in sculptural form. "After 1915, she created the striking animal figures that became her artistic life's theme. Since she rejected monumentality in sculpture, she created mainly small-format sculptures. These slender works of art, such as horses, deer, donkeys and dogs, enjoyed great popularity with the public." These were to be cast into her mould at the Hermann Noack picture foundry for decades from 1913. In 1931 Renée Sintenis became the second woman - after the famous Käthe Kollwitz - to be admitted to the Prussian Academy of Arts. However, as for many Berlin artists, the seizure of power by Adolf Hitler also meant a profound break for her. She was expelled from the Academy, and the practice and exhibition of her works were banned. In addition, the Second World War banned bronze casting around 1941, as the metal was indispensable for the armaments industry. Artistic work became almost impossible for Renée Sintenis at this point at the latest. In October 1942, her husband died unexpectedly, and in 1945, Allied bombing raids destroyed her studio, causing the loss of numerous personal possessions and many artistic works. But the end of the war marked a new beginning for the artist. In post-war Berlin, she succeeded in building on her successes of the 1920s and early 1930s. Renée Sintenis also achieved academic honours: in 1955 she was appointed professor at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste and at the West Berlin Akademie der Künste. Her Berlin Bear, a scaled-down replica of a bronze sculpture she created in 1932 in silver and gold, became a coveted trophy at the annual Berlinale film festival. The little foal can be dated to 1919 and is thus a sign of the great success of the Berlin artist's artistic practice. It was not without reason that she was exhibited by the gallery owner Alfred Flechtheim from 1920 onwards. Until then, she had represented Wolfgang Gurlitt, who exhibited her works alongside those of Max Beckmann, Max Liebermann and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. She also became an internationally recognised artist with exhibitions at the National Gallery in Berlin, the Tate Gallery London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in Paris, Glasgow and Rotterdam, whose works are still represented in important collections worldwide.
Lot 417
One of only 33 UK-supplied examples, two owners in total, just 22,000 miles from new and a full Audi service history.Audi AG’s involvement with motorsport seems fairly recent compared to their competitors Mercedes-Benz and BMW whose trophy cabinets bulge with silverware from many decades past, however, three of the companies that merged to form Auto Union AG and subsequently Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer, have very respectable histories in circuit racing and hill-climbs so the DNA was undoubtedly there. Not long after Auto Union and NSU merged to become the current day Audi AG, a motorsport programme was on the agenda and the name is now synonymous with success having dominated Group-A rallying in the 1980s, years of good results in the DTM and other Touring Car and Supertouring Championships in the 1990s and beyond, followed by starting the new millennium with three consecutive victories at the ‘24 Hours of Le Mans’, a race widely regarded as the pinnacle of motorsport.During these periods, Audi released sportier versions into the top-end of their road-going model line-up as a nod to the success they were enjoying in motorsport. The RS4 and RS6 were most notably well received and led to RS versions of most of the model line up, however, Audi didn’t have much supercar heritage until, in 2006, they took a bold step to show the world that they could also build such a car and the R8 was the result.The R8 is a two seat, mid-engine supercar positioned as Audi’s flagship model (a title it still holds today). It was launched in 2007 with two engines, the 4.2-litre FSI V8 and the 5.2-litre FSI V10 and uses Audi’s legendary Quattro four-wheel drive system which has been honed through decades of motorsport. It’s cutting-edge design, and performance to match, gained great acclaim in the motoring press and proved the car earned its place in the supercar arena along with the likes of Porsche, Ferrari, and McLaren.But can you make the best even better? Audi AG’s private subsidiary company ‘Audi Sport GmbH’ answered that question in 2011 by developing a very special model in-house which would be produced in limited numbers and named it the R8 ‘GT’. The brief in short was simple ‘more power, less weight’. Introduced at the 2010 Wörthersee Tour, the Audi R8 GT (coupé) is a high-performance variant of the R8 V10 and was followed by its sunshine sibling, the R8 GT Spyder, unveiled at the 2011 '24 Hours of Le Mans'. Limited to only 333 units worldwide, the R8 GT Spyder combines the aggressiveness of the R8 GT with an open top driving experience.At £158,145 when new, the R8 GT Spyder was Audi’s most expensive road car to date (over £40,000 more than the standard V10 Spyder). Specification highlights include a power increase of 35bhp to 553bhp, carbon ceramic brakes, and a traditional spring suspension set-up (that sits 10mm lower than the standard V10’s variable Magnetic Ride system). The engine frame is made of ultra-light magnesium and the soft top cover and the large side panels at the rear are formed from carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP). CFRP is also used for the modified front spoiler, the fixed rear spoiler, and the new rear bumper and even the seats are made of carbon fibre which result in a weight saving of 32kg alone. Together, these components provide a weight saving of 85kg compared to the standard V10 Spyder and the resultant 197 mph top speed and 0-62 mph sprint time of 3.8 seconds make the GT a true supercar – but one you could easily use every day.The car presented here is a UK-supplied (one of just 33 we understand) 2013 Audi R8 (Type 42) GT Spyder, presented in striking Sphere Blue matt paintwork (a rare colour chosen by Audi for many of the PR images of the GT model at launch) and has been enjoyed by just two owners (in total), with our private vendor having purchased it in 2016. Naturally, it has a full Audi service history (see images; N.B. there is a typo written in the service booklet - the service at 6,506 miles should read 14/05/15 as per the Service History Certificate) ensuring that its highly conservative 22,000 miles have been enjoyed in fine mechanical health and the appearance and condition of the whole car reflect its fastidious upkeep, garaging and low mileage shared between just two diligent owners. Our guide price is truly attractive given all the factors – ability, rarity, history, condition, and sheer usability for what is arguably the world’s most approachable ‘supercar’.(The registration 'R8 XDT' will be coming with the car)SpecificationMake: AUDIModel: R8 GT SPYDERYear: 2013Chassis Number: WUAZZZ428CN910163Registration Number: R8 XDTTransmission: Semi-automaticEngine Number: CMPA001540 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 22000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

One of just 223 right-hand drive, UK-supplied, Phase-1 cars finished in Iceberg Silver.A spin-off from the ‘Clio Trophy’ race series and first previewed at the Paris Motor Show in 1998, the Clio V6 230 was in many ways the spiritual successor to the mid-engined 5-Turbo. Launched in 2001, the wide-hipped, mid-engined ‘baby supercar' was broadly based on the Clio Mk II but the V6 variant actually shared very little with its standard counterpart. Where the rear seats would normally be, nestled a tweaked version of the proven and unstressed 3.0-litre, 24v, V6 unit from the Laguna saloon offering access to 227bhp (230PS) fed to the rear wheels and enabling 0-60 in 6.2 seconds and 146mph, not for the faint-hearted in such a diminutive ‘rocket ship’. The Phase 1 cars were assembled by hand at the Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) workshops in Uddevalla in Sweden, using parts shipped from France.This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of a modern classic that already has a cult following, is fast becoming highly collectable and tipped to become a must-have for any notable classic car collection. This right-hand drive, UK-supplied Phase 1 Clio V6 is finished in sparkling Iceberg Silver with a Charcoal half leather and Alcantara interior.Indicating just 45,237 miles at the time of cataloguing, this genuine V6 has been enjoyed by four previous owners over the last 19 years. In 2021, the car benefitted from a complete underbody restoration which is documented with stage-by-stage images and completed by one of the UK's leading Renault V6 specialists. Invoices add up to around £9,000 with perishable items replaced and mechanical items refurbished or replaced where necessary. The V6 is now absolutely on-the-button and handles exactly as it should and its new owner can enjoy peace of mind knowing that the car has been recently thoroughly checked over by a highly regarded specialist. New premium-brand tyres have recently been fitted and the steering wheel has been re-trimmed to address a common issue on Renault cars from this era.This lovely Renault is accompanied by its history file which contains a current V5C ready for transfer, the current MOT valid until March 2023, various invoices for maintenance over the years and details of the underside restoration. Also included in the sale is the model-specific private registration number, V6 FCU.SpecificationMake: RENAULTModel: CLIO V6Year: 2003Chassis Number: VF1C61A0624663253Registration Number: V6 FCUTransmission: ManualEngine Number: F090503 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 45200 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
Lot 440
Exceptionally well presented and fabulously maintained, this enthusiast owned, triple show-winning V8 GT is a fantastic example of the Esprit's swansong.Released as the successor to the hugely popular, Lotus Elan, the Esprit was unveiled to the world at the Paris Motor Show in 1975 and didn’t cease production until 2003, with 10,500 units produced, rightfully gaining a loyal following. Whilst the last-of-the-line examples look undeniably progressed compared to the original S1, the Giorgetto Giugiaro-based design clearly flows through all four series of Esprit.The vast majority of Esprit were fitted with 4-cylinder engines, both naturally aspirated and turbocharged, in 2.0 or 2.2-litre guises but from 1996, the in-house Lotus built twin-turbo V8 was finally ready to be ordered by those brave enough. This remarkable Type 918 V8 was an all-aluminium, 90° DOHC, 4-valves per cylinder engine with two Garrett turbochargers, built to produce around 500bhp but detuned to 350bhp in the interest of durability and reliability. Standing at just 1.12 metres (44.1in) high, the Esprit's low-slung, rakish aesthetic offers a 'fast-moving' appearance even when stationary. With 0-60 being dispatched in a fraction over 4 seconds on the way to a top speed of 175mph, the V8 GT's performance perfectly matches its looks.After a few years of searching, our vendor acquired this Esprit in August 2012 having found what he deemed to be the best and most original example on the market. He has been a passionate Lotus enthusiast for as long as he can recall and this passion is evident in the way the car is presented. It looks fabulous in Norfolk Mustard Yellow and has covered at time of cataloguing just 47,007 miles, corroborated by the service records and MOT history. In recent years it has averaged around 1,000 miles per year being used exclusively for specific car events such as Club Lotus weekends, classic car shows, club pub meets and runs out. It was also used it to attend Lotus Factory events at Hethel, including the 70th Anniversary meeting and to follow the Lotus Cup and Elise Trophy race series at various circuits across the country.Its impressive condition can be judged by its Concours success having attended many shows across the UK winning a number of trophies including:Best Lotus - 1st Place at the Classic & Sports Car show 2013Best Lotus - 1st Place at the Classic Car Show 2015Best British Sports Car - 1st Place at the Classic Car Spectacular Show 2019The car's comprehensive history file contains details of its service history (full Lotus Main Dealer) with its original stamped Handbook. Over £12,000 has been invested in maintenance and servicing in our vendors ownership with all services (except for the first two) carried out by Christopher Neils / Oakmere Lotus, with the most recent on 15th February 2022 which included a cam belt and auxiliary belt changes at a cost of £1,599.54. The history file also contains every MOT Certificate dating back to 2004, old tax discs, receipts/invoices for all work done, the original Owners Hand Book, original Sales Brochure, Alpine Car Audio manual and a Lotus Certificate of Vehicle Provenance.During the Pandemic, the car was SORN’d and, not using it for a long period, our vendor came to the realisation that he had accomplished everything that he had wanted to achieve with the Esprit. As can be seen from the car's spectacular condition, he enjoys 'detailing' and realistically he has taken the Esprits as far as it's possible to go, so now it's time to move it on and let someone else enjoy this lovely Lotus. With its low warranted mileage, stunning condition and ever-increasing rarity, this car would fit perfectly within any collection of significant motorcars, or could comfortably be driven to and from shows, with a very high chance of coming home with more silverware to add to the collection.SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ESPRIT V8 GTYear: 2001Chassis Number: SCCDA08231HC10200Registration Number: ESP 87VTransmission: ManualEngine Number: LL918001030755Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 47007 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images
