Böcklin's Battle Kollernow in Munich Warhol's Mickey Mouse 1|19 Böcklin’s Warhol’s KollerNow Battle Mickey Mouse in Munich PAGE 4 PAGES 16/17 PAGE 18 Dear Clients and Friends We are delighted to look back on a successful auction year, in which we not only achieved excellent prices in many of the spe- cialty areas we offered, but also a particularly impressive percentage of works sold. Kees van Dongen’s "Égyptienne" entered a German private collection in June for 1.75 million Swiss francs, after we presented this expressive portrait to a large audience at special previews in Geneva, Düsseldorf, Zurich and Paris. Emil Nolde’s "Doppel- bild (Sie seltsames Licht)", painted in 1918, found a new home in an important Swiss collection after a bidding war that finally ended at CHF 1 million (see p. 11). In March 2018, the bidding reached 538,000 Swiss francs for a 17th century Vanitas still life, the second highest price ever recorded at auction for a painting by Carstian Luyckx. In June, "Kiss", 1979, by John Chamberlain, realised an outstanding 530,000 Swiss francs. These results illustrate the wide range of fine items offered in our auctions, spanning many centuries. Among the thousands of works of art that passed through our hands in the last twelve months were exceptional works by Lehmbruck, Boudin, Spitzweg, Dufy, Kirchner, Dix, Marquet, Renoir, Vlaminck, Chagall, Miró, Klee, Vasarely, Tobey, Warhol, Cragg, Soulages, Gertsch, Picasso, Poliakoff, Lichtenstein and Haring, as well as a veritable “Who’s Who” of Swiss painting, ranging from Anker and Zünd to Hodler, Vallotton, Dietrich, Amiet, Giacometti, Segantini and Itten, Lohse and Bill. These were joined by successful auctions of rare works of art from China, exquisite furniture by French ébénistes, collector’s silver, jewel- lery and rare wristwatches, Romanesque and Gothic sculptures, as well as old master prints and medieval book illumination. From 26 to 29 March 2019, to mark the start of the new auction year, we will present our next series of auctions, dedicated to works from the medieval period to the 19th century. Auctions of Modern and Contemporary Art, Design, Art Deco and Art Nouveau, Fashion, Photography, Collector’s Watches, Jewellery and Swiss Art will follow in June. Mid-April is the deadline for consignments to these sales. Our specialists in Zurich or in one of our branch offices in Geneva, Milan, Düsseldorf or Munich are at your service should you like to inquire about con- signing. Our estimates and offers with regard to our auctions are without obligation and free of charge. We will organise all shipping and customs formalities for you, as well as international marketing for the works of art entrusted to us. We look forward to working for you and with your artworks!

Cranach also served the Duke by cata- loguing his important collection of 19,000 relics and recording them in woodcuts. The present portrait on beech wood (ill. 2) was probably painted in 1525, the year of Duke Frederick’s death. The last time it was shown publicly was in 1974, in the Basel Kunstmuse- um. The still-life painter Peter Binoit (1590/91–1632), who was active in Frankfurt-on-Main and in Hanau, reminds us of the transience of our existence with small, almost-hidden signs: in his opulent bouquet (ill. 3) there are not only fresh flowers but also wilting blooms. Benoit’s masterful composition and brush- strokes, as well as the superb colours, breathe life into the bouquet painted on copper. Jan van Noordt (1623–1681), in his large-format "Encounter of Pretiose and Don Juan" (ill. 1), does not 3 refer to historical models, but creates a completely new motif. Contrary to the cliché of the womanizer from literary models, Don Juan has soft and vulnera- ble features in this often-published painting. 2 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 1 Jan van Noordt.

As in Rubens’s "Battle of the ters. Among the many highlights to be sold in Zurich Amazons" (circa 1618), Böcklin situated the wild bat- are "Winter Landscape with koek en zopie ('cookie tle scene on a bridge, which allowed him to divide the and hootch') by night" (ill. 7) by Andreas Schelfhout picture into different zones. The struggle between (1787–1870), and a Pronkstilleven still life painted by a probably Germanic tribe and a supposedly Roman David Emil Joseph de Noter in 1847 (ill. 8) in Kunst- army fills almost the entire composition. He thus kammerformat. The interest of both artists in the art brings the viewer close to the brutal and raw events; 6 of the 17th century is evident in these works. the springing horses practically jump out of the frame. Carl Morgenstern (1811–1893), one of Carl Rott- Böcklin’s portrayal can be interpreted as a rebellion of mann’s pupils and also one of the formative German Christian morality against the alienated, oppressed “Italianists” is represented in the auction by a view of masses of the Roman Empire. Venice with the Doge’s Palace and Santa Maria del- la Salute (ill. 6). On numerous journeys, Morgenstern collected impressions which he transformed into atmospherically charged representations of Italian coastal landscapes and cityscapes. The painting of- fered here, created in 1863, is proof of Morgenstern’s outstanding ability to transfer Mediterranean light to canvas. 7 Rademakers Collection Some cornerstones of 19th century Dutch Roman- ticism offered in this auction come from the collec- 5 4 Arnold Böcklin.

Chinese and Japanese lacquer works reached Europe in great numbers at this time, and first influenced craftsmen and clients in Venice and Genoa. Through imitation, the craftsmen soon de- veloped their own technique: cut-out coloured en- gravings were glued to doors and drawers and served as decoration; only the elaborate lacquer finish in Sandarak natural resin was reminiscent of the Asian originals. The figurative and floral decor of a bureau bookcase (ill. 13) in the 28 March auction is exemplary: the people depicted within idealised landscapes have visibly given themselves over to the sweet side of life. A splendidly decorated strongbox cabinet of muse- um quality and in perfect condition can be attribu- ted to the Parisian ébéniste Charles-Guillaume Diehl (1811–1885) (ill. 9). The mastery of craftsmanship manifested by Diehl and his large workshop caused a sensation at the Paris World’s Fairs of 1867 and 1878. Marquetry furniture created at that time can now be found in the world’s most important furniture collec- tions.

  • The History of Modern Painting Volume 2
    The History of Modern Painting Volume 2 by Richard Muther The History Of Modern Painting BOOK III THE TRIUMPH OF THE MODERNS CHAPTER XVI THE DRAUGHTSMEN INASMUCH as modern art, in the beginning of its career, held commerce almost exclusively with the spirits of dead men of bygone ages, it had set itself in opposition to all the great epochs that had gone before. All works known to the history of art, from the cathedral pictures of Stephan Lochner down to the works of the followers of Watteau, stand in the closest relationship with the people and times amid which they have originated. Whoever studies the works of Dürer knows his home and his family, the Nuremberg of the sixteenth century, with its narrow lanes and gabled houses; the whole age is reflected in the engravings of this one artist with a truth and distinctness which put to shame those of the most laborious historian. Dürer and his contemporaries in Italy stood in so intimate a relation to reality that in their religious pictures they even set themselves above historical probability, and treated the miraculous stories of sacred tradition as if they had been commonplace incidents of the fifteenth century. Or, to take another instance, with what a striking realism, in the works of Ostade, Brouwer, and Steen, has the entire epoch from which these great artists drew strength and nourishment remained vivid in spirit, sentiment, manners, and costume. Every man whose name has come down to posterity stood firm and unshaken on the ground of his own time, resting like a tree with all its roots buried in its own peculiar soil; a tree whose branches rustled in the breeze of its native land, while the sun which fell on its blossoms and ripened its fruits was that of Italy or Germany, of Spain or the Netherlands, of that time; never the weak reflection of a planet that formerly had shone in other zones.
