‎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) // ...

‎In the Ice World of the Himalaya Among the Peaks and Passes of Ladakh Nubra Suru and Baltistan‎

‎New York: Cassell and Company 1900. First American Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. xvi 204 pp with three colored folding maps and 67 illustrations from photographs. Original green cloth with illustration of the authors on the front board. Minor insect damage to front board spine slightly toned some foxing to endpapers else quite sound and clean. The American husband and wife team were wealthy zealous and energetic explorers who together made many expeditions to the Himalayas. Fanny a suffragist as well as a bit of a publicity hound made sure the world knew of her achievements as a pioneering female climber. Among other achievements she held the women's altitude record for 28 years after her conquest of 23000-ft Pinnacle Peak in 1906. Robinson Wayward Women amusingly describes her as having "practically battered the Karakorams into submission first treading them over with her squat hob-nailed figure and then pinning them down on virgin maps and charts to take home for the various Geographical Societies of England and America to fight over." This is the account of their first Himalayan expedition 1898-99 during which they reached the Karakoram Pass and explored the Biafo Glacier Neate W124. Cassell and Company hardcover books‎
