The sale features 100 lots spanning a wide variety of styles and materials from the beginning of 20th century until the present day; estimates range from £1,000 to £300,000. The Heart of the Rose and The White Rose and the Red Rose (estimate: £200,000-300,000 for each panel), a pair of painted and jewelled gesso panels by Scottish artist Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh (1864-1933), were first displayed in the Rose Boudoir at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Art in Turin, 1902. The Rose Boudoir, the result of a collaboration between Margaret and her husband Charles Rennie Mackintosh, defined a moment of consummate refinement in the evolution of the couple’s oeuvre and these panels played a pivotal role. Remaining strongly representative of the Glasgow avant-garde, they illustrate the rose theme in a lyrical, symbolist manner in a subtle evocation of maternal and sensual love.

  • Deux Chefs-D'œuvre De L'ancienne Collection
    MÉDIA ALERTE ǀ PARIS ǀ 14 OCTOBRE 2015 ǀ POUR DIFFUSION IMMÉDIATE DEUX CHEFS-D’ŒUVRE DE L’ANCIENNE COLLECTION JACQUES DOUCET PROPOSÉS LORS DE LA VENTE DU SOIR ‘DESIGN’, À PARIS LE 23 NOVEMBRE 2015 Paris – Le 23 novembre prochain, au sein de sa vente du soir ‘Design’, Christie’s aura le plaisir de présenter deux chefs-d’œuvre inédits provenant de l’ancienne collection de Jacques Doucet : Tête de Lionne réalisée par Joseph Csaky et Sculpture Lumineuse exécutée par Gustave Miklos. Pauline De Smedt, directrice du département Design, Christie’s France : « Nous sommes très fiers de pouvoir présenter deux œuvres si rares à nos collectionneurs. Redécouvrir ces deux trésors, chacun pièce unique, jamais encore exposés au marché de l’art et bénéficiant de la provenance la plus prestigieuse, constitue un moment privilégié. Les amateurs de notre spécialité qui ne manqueront pas d’aller voir l’exposition consacrée à l’un de ses plus grands mécènes, Jacques-Doucet – Yves Saint Laurent, ouvrant ses portes le 15 octobre à la Fondation Pierre Bergé | Yves Saint Laurent, auront ainsi l’occasion de compléter leur visite en venant admirer ces deux œuvres phares de la vente du soir de Design du 23 novembre ». Joseph Csaky (1888-1971) nait en Hongrie et étudie à l’École des Arts Décoratifs de Budapest avant de s’installer à Paris en 1908. Son travail est d’abord influencé par le post-classicisme de Rodin puis par la rigueur sensuelle de Maillol. Très rapidement pourtant, le cubisme s'impose comme style dominant dans son œuvre, et Csaky explore également l'abstraction.

  • Lambert-Rucki's Artistic Vision of the Ottoman
    BBogusławogusław RR.. ZZagórskiagórski Polish Institute of Word Art Studies JEAN (JAN) LAMBERT-RUCKI’S ARTISTIC VISION OF THE OTTOMAN WOMEN’S WORLD OF SELÂNIK1) THE CITY – THESSALONIKI OR SELÂNIK? n the 8th of November, 1912, the feast of Saint Demetrius, the city regarded as the second most important city of the , ﺳﻼﻧﯿﻚ of Selânik OOttoman Empire (together with Smyrna/İzmir), was surrendered to the Greek army by Tahsin Paşa, commander of the Turkish garrison. Several hours later, the rival Bulgarian army entered the suburbs of Selânik from another direction and, according to anecdotal evidence, TahsinPaşa could only inform the Bulgarian official envoys that: “I only had one Selânik, which I have already surrendered.” Greeks and Bulgarians, allied nations during the First Balkan War (1912–1913), were fighting together for new possessions, detaching them piece by piece from the living body of the Ottoman Empire. Selânik, the magnificent prize grabbed by the Greeks was to be returned; the Bulgar- ians, in turn, were allowed to occupy the port of Kavala on the Aegean Sea with its hinterland (Western Thrace). In later times, this served as a bone of contention between the two nations; at present it is in Greece. The Bulgarian troops were granted guest status in Selânik by the Greeks and a hospital for treating their wounded soldiers. 1) The author extends his warmest thanks to the Comité Jean Lambert-Rucki in Paris and to the Archives of the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków for their help in gathering source materials for this article. Jean (Jan) Lambert-Rucki’s artistic vision 213 Selânik, known as Thessaloniki in Greek, is an ancient sea port with a rich history.

  • The Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergē Collection
    26 September 2008 THE YVES SAINT LAURENT AND PIERRE BERGĒ COLLECTION “Pierre Bergé and I wished for our selection to reflect our favourite pieces and for it to evolve with them, quality being the only criterion to guide us.” Yves Saint Laurent Paris - Christie's is honoured to announce the sale of the Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé Collection, which will take place in Paris on the 23rd, 24th and 25th February 2009 at the Grand Palais, in association with the Pierre Bergé & Associates auctioneers. As in many instances where an artist’s signature style defines a décor, the word “Collection″ is uniquely deserved by that of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé. The works of art found in their respective apartments at the rue de Babylone and the rue Bonaparte, were brought together to become one of the most important collections ever to come onto the art market. A reflection of 50 years of passionate and detailed search for rare and unique pieces, this shared collection is a truly moving exhibition of their shared eye. It is one of the most sumptuous private collections of our time, a French paragon of quality and taste, consisting of masterpieces of Modern Art, Art Deco, European furniture and works of art, antiquities, Old Master and 19th century paintings and drawings. The works, amounting to more than 700 in total, are estimated at between 200 and 300 million Euros. Yves Saint Laurent bequeathed his joint share of the Collection to the Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent Foundation. Pierre Bergé has since decided to put the entire Collection up for sale and to create a new foundation dedicated mainly to scientific research and the fight against AIDS.
