‎The Harry A. Franklin Family Collection of African Art. (Ausstellung / Auktion). Sotheby's; New York; 1990. Auction Saturday, April 21, 1990. (Exhibition: April 14 - April 20).‎

‎Sotheby's; NY, 1990. Ca. 170 Seiten; mit sehr zahlreichen, z. Tl. ganzseitigen, farbigen Illustrationen; 28 cm. Originalleinen mit farb. illustr. Orig.-Schutzumschlag.‎

‎Ein gutes Exemplar; der farb. Umschlag stw. berieben u. m. geringfügigen Läsuren. - Aus der Bibliothek von Dr. H. J. Koloß / Völkerkunde-Museum Berlin; mit Beilagen. - Englisch. - Sehr zahlr. Illustrationen. - Startling, mysterious and beautiful, the works of African art in the Harry A. Franklin Family Collection cast a powerful spell on the beholder. The haunting features of a Baule face mask or a Dogon male figure, like mythic totems, seem to pierce the barriers separating one culture from another, one age from the next. In looking at the Luba Shankadi divination figure (lot 431), an exquisite mother and child sculpture with a rich black patina, one sees the same tender and protective imagery so familiar to us in the sculptures of Henry Moore on the same theme. Beneath surfaces of primal and often rugged beauty, these works comment on the world and on mankind with a timeless, metaphorical wisdom. In the best sense, this is a family collection, formed over two generations with a guiding spirit of shared taste and scholarship. Harry Franklin was one of the prominent early-figures in the field of primitive art, and with his wife, Ruth, he began forming a collection of African art in 1938. Previously, the couple had collected American art. Seren-dipitously, however, one of the contemporary American artists in whom they were interested owned several pieces of African art. After seeing them, the Franklins, enthralled, radically changed their direction of collecting, and, since then, they have focused on the extraordinary sculpture of Africa. It is worth noting that few collectors in the 1930s and 1940s knew much about this field. With remarkable passion and per-sistence, the Franklins set about acquiring the finest pieces of African art they could find. Valerie Franklin, their daughter, grew up surrounded by these wonderful objects. Trained as an art historian, she became actively involved with shaping and refining the collection, complementing her father's experienced, intuitive eye with a more formally trained approach to connoisseurship. This inspired family partnership was to give the Franklin Collection added strength, character, and direction. "Our goal," Valerie Franklin has written, "was to have a series of masterpieces that are supported and illuminated by an in-depth range of sculptures demonstrating the collective and individual artistic genius of a tribe. When one knows only a single example of artistry from a tribe, one has a perspective of that tribal aesthetic which is restricted to a single piece. In order to understand a particular tribal aesthetic, it is necessary to see a number of variations on a theme. It is rather like hearing one movement of a symphony and trying to understand the artistic intent. Upon hearing three movements of the symphony the artistic statement becomes clear." The breadth and depth of the Franklin Collection is seen clearly in the rich diversity of Baule material, with examples of three figural types, unusual and classical mask variations, and miniatures. In the Senufo section, the collection embraces an exceptional group of mask types as well as smaller classical figural sculptures. In the Yoruba grouping, the collection represents most of the major artistic hands identified in the last decade, with many important types of ritual and masquerade objects included. Highlighting the group are two major examples (lots 314 and 315) of the work of the greatest Yoruba carver, Olowe of Ise. ? (Vorwort Robert C. Woolley) // ...

Nearly twenty articles are interspersed between some 450 colour plates of the most important objects, described with prices, representing all aspects of the fine and decorative arts to pass through Sotheby's salerooms. The volume opens with an article by Clive Aslet on Waldorf Astor's purchase and restoration of Hever Castle which was put up for sale through Sotheby's and Savills this season. Christopher de Hamel reflects upon a group of manuscripts from the Fiirstenberg Library and resurrects the controversy about the origins of Western printing; the Krug Collection of European glass is examined by Walter Spiegl; and Robert Kleiner gives an account of Chinese snuff bottles from the collection of the late Bob C. Stevens. In addition, David James of the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin, discusses an important Mamluk Qur'an; William H. Gerdts, Professor of History of Art at the Graduate School of the City University of New York, writes on the recently rediscovered painting, Hermia and Helena, by Washington Allston; and Manolis Chatzidakis, one of the foremost authorities on icons, surveys the importance of the Cretan school and its part in preserving the continuity of the Byzantine Orthodox tradition. Several other articles by specialists in their fields cover unusual aspects of the collectors' market, such as the little-known American porcelain factory of Bonnin and Morris, Navajo textiles and scrimshaw from the unique Barbara Johnson Collection of whaling material. ...
