‎Important Impressionist and Modern Paintings from a European Estate. May 10, 1994.‎

‎Christie's; New York, 1994. 48 S.; einige farb. Abb. Originalleinen mit Schutzumschlag.‎

‎Gutes Ex. - Mit Eintrittskarte und Ergebnisliste. - Paul Cezanne: Coussin sur une chaise; Maurice de Vlaminck: Paysage de banlieue; Pablo Picasso: Violon, bouteille et verre; Georges Braque: Pipe et compotier; Picasso: La couseuse; Fernand Leger: Composition jaune et noire; Gauguin: L'Aven a travers Pont-Aven. // The seven objects in this collection mark important developments in French art and culture over the course of four decades. As a group, they trace a temporal arc from late Impressionism to the biomorphic abstraction of the 1930s. The Impressionists, Paul Gauguin wrote in his Tahitian manuscript Diverses Choses, "heed only the eye and neglect the mysterious centers of thought, so falling into merely scientific reasoning. They are the officials of tomorrow, as bad as the officials of yesterday ..." Gauguin made this remark in 1896-1897, having long eliminated the last vestiges of Impressionist facture from his work. As the comment suggests, Gauguin was deeply concerned about the social and historical implications of advanced art. Impressionism had gained wide acceptance by the middle classes he so disdained; it was the legitimate cultural patrimony of the businessman and the flâneur. In contrast, Gauguin sought to explore the spiritual in art, identifying a redemptive role for the avant-garde in the Symbolist aesthetic he had been pursuing for eight years. Gauguin's mature style dates to his second trip to Brittany in 1888, during which time he painted L'Aven à travers Pont-Aven. In a sheltered landscape, two Breton peasant women and a male farmer carrying a hoe are nestled in hilly depressions, their presence barely detectable in the gently contoured land. The space of the composition is radically flattened and the perspective telescoped. As Gauguin compresses and simplifies the objects of the Breton landscape and its inhabitants, he invests great meaning in pictorial form and structure in order to translate his sensations before nature into symbolic form. A linear arabesque carries the eye through the visual field, weaving a kind of spatial tapestry that is echoed in Gauguin's insistent brushwork. Vertical accents provided by the trees and the edge of the house establish the outlines of a rudimentary grid that serves to lock the serpentine rhythm of the composition firmly in place. And color is heightened and carefully orchestrated in a range of analagous hues and glaring complementaries, as Gauguin constructs an ideal, synthetic order in which landscape, figure, and architecture effortlessly merge. L'Aven à travers Pont-Aven communicates the artist's longing for a spiritual union of man and nature in response to the excessive materialism of the modern world. Gauguin's Pont-Aven is the site of a lost organic unity whose formal counterpart is expressed in the artist's meandering line. The synthetic transformation of nature that Gauguin had first envisioned in Brittany, and subsequently in Tahiti, inspired an entire generation of French painters. For Henri Matisse, André Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck, the examples of Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Signac justified formal purity and bold experiments in chromatic and spatial structure. Both van Gogh and Gauguin had been honored with memorial retrospectives at the Salon d'Automne, in 1903 and 1905 respectively; Signac, who was Matisse's mentor, presided over the Salon des Independents. Valminck studied in depth the work of all three painters during his Fauve period, but it was van Gogh and Gauguin who left the most lasting imprint on the younger artist's work. In the magnificent Paysage de banlieue of 1905-06, Vlaminck's staccato, choppy brushstroke and intense, pure palette immediately reveal his debt to van Gogh, while the structure of the composition as a series of continuous horizontal bands vertically stacked and opening into the background recalls both Gauguin and Cézanne. From the former, Vlaminck also borrowed the flat planes of color that define the rooftops of the houses in the upper right. (Introduction)‎

‎Jewellery and Silver by Bulgari which will be sold at auction by Christie's International ... Wednesday February 17, 1993. (Auktionskatalog).‎

‎St. Moritz, 1993. Ca. 150 S.; zahlr. farb. Illustr.; 27,5 cm. Originalleinen mit Schutzumschlag.‎

‎Gutes Exemplar. - Text von Diana Scarisbrick. - Englisch. - Like the ancient Romans before them, Bulgari have set their stamp on an empire which reaches far beyond the confines of their native Italy. In addition to the flagships of Tokyo, Rome and New York, there are now thirty shops world-wide, two of them in London. Just as the Emperor Augustus imposed Roman law and institutions on his subject peoples, so Bulgari makes absolutely no concessions to local tastes: the stock and designs of the shops are identical everywhere. It is this universality which is the secret of their success. Bulgari jewellery can be worn with equal panache by all women, whether of oriental or western birth, of whatever type of beauty-blonde, red-head or brunette-and irrespective of age. Whereas most modern designs seem to repeat each other, and differ only in minor details, a Bulgari jewel stands out, being quite unlike anyone else's, yet striking a balance between originality and elegance. How has this come about? The story begins in 1879, when the founder, Sotirio Bulgari, came from Greece to seek his fortune as a silversmith in Rome. He prospered and by 1905 had premises not only in the Via Condotti, but branches in Naples and the resorts of Lucerne and St. Moritz. The name, 'The Old Curiosity Shop' which he chose for his enterprise, taken from the title of the novel of Charles Dickens, shows that his aim was to attract the attention of the many noble and rich British and American visitors brought by boat and railway to the towns of Italy and Switzerland. He must have made sure that a call at the St. Moritz shop would compare with the many agreeable distractions offered by the spa 'on the roof of Europe'. There, every summer, the young connoisseur Bernard Berenson was in his element, staying in the comfort of the Hotel Caspar Badrutt. ? (D. S.) / ...
