  • RCEWA Case Xx
    Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest: Note of case hearing on 18 July 2012: A painting by Pablo Picasso, Child with a Dove (Case 3, 2012-13) Application 1. The Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest (RCEWA) met on 18 July 2012 to consider an application to export a painting by Pablo Picasso, Child with a Dove. The value shown on the export licence application was £50,000,000, which represented the sale price. The expert adviser had objected to the export of the painting under the first, second and third Waverly criteria i.e. on the grounds that it was so closely connected with our history and national life that its departure would be a misfortune, that it was of outstanding aesthetic importance and that it was of outstanding significance for the study of the birth of modernism and the reception of modernism in the UK. 2. The seven regular RCEWA members present were joined by three independent assessors, acting as temporary members of the Reviewing Committee. 3. The applicant confirmed that the value did include VAT and that VAT would be payable in the event of a UK sale. The applicant also confirmed that the owner understood the circumstances under which an export licence might be refused and that, if the decision on the licence was deferred, the owner would allow the painting to be displayed for fundraising. Expert’s submission 4. The expert had provided a written submission stating that the painting, Child with a Dove, was one of the earliest and most important works by Picasso to enter a British collection.

  • The Emil Bührle Collection: Works of International Artists – the Complete List
    The Emil Bührle Collection: Works of international artists – the complete list Lukas Gloor This list was compiled based upon the archive of the Foundation E.G. Bührle Collection, Zurich, and includes all the 633 purchases of artworks (paintings, works on paper, sculptures) made by Emil Bührle for his private collection mostly between 1936 and 1956. Much useful information was supplied by Laurie A. Stein, Chicago/Berlin and her provenance research on behalf of the Emil Bührle Collection, which helped to locate many sources on Emil Bührle’s acquisitions in other archives. The list is in chronological order, with the medieval sculptures in the collection at the end. There is also an appendix containing a list of works by Swiss artists that were acquired for the Oerlikon Bührle & Co. machine tool company as well as the pictures that entered the collection via the Prix Buhrle, which was sponsored by Bührle in Paris in 1952 and 1953. (Neither list claims to be exhaustive.) The list does not contain the small number of works of applied and antique art acquired by Emil Bührle. The locations indicated for the works are those that applied when the Foundation E.G. Bührle Collection was established in February 1960. Works transferred to the Foundation by Emil Bührle’s heirs at the time are listed as such, together with their numbers in the foundation deed; those that remained in private ownership are listed as 1960 : PC. The list discloses the prices paid for the works when purchased, where known. They are published in the belief that this information is of importance to historical research into the art market and reveals much about the motivations underlying the creation of an individual collection.

VOL. 30, NO. 1, 001-196 Ana María Leyra Soriano MAKING IMAGES TALK: PICASSO’S MINOTAUROMACHY ABSTRACT KEYWORDS We can say that Picasso’s images speak to us, and, as writing, speak to Labyrinth, Archetypes, us from that space in which any text – far from being reduced to a single Spanish Civil War, sense – “disseminates” its “truths”. Using the figure and the story of the Minotauromachy, Minotaur, Picasso devoted himself to one of the great themes of his Guernica, Aesthetics. pictorial work. The word “labyrinth” connotes, to the European mind, Greece, Knossos, Dedalus, Ariadne and the Minotaur. However, the Greek formula already represents a mythic and poetic outcome thoroughly developed from an imagery forged in the remotest eras of our evolution. The relationship between the image, the spiral, and the word, labyrinth is also linked to the perception of a drilled earth, excavated, with numberless tortuous tunnels which, in our imagination, provoke concern because they lead to the world of the inferi, the unknown depths of the realms of the dead. Juan Larrea, a little-known essayist in the sphere of philosophical studies, although, from the outset of international renown for Picasso’s work, he gives what is perhaps the best interpretation of Guernica and consequently also sheds much light on the engravings immediately preceding the execution of this painting, theMinotauromachy among them. The artist is not a prophet. He is not foreseeing what the future holds for humanity, but he does possess a heightened sensitivity that drives him to minutely scrutinise the conditions of the time that he has had to live, and he has a transforming eye for the symbols that constitute the deepest threads in the fabric of his culture.

    ! ! ! InformARTES! ! NEWSLETTER OF ARTES IBERIAN & LATIN AMERICAN VISUAL CULTURE GROUP ! ISSUE 13 WINTER 2013 !1 ! ! ! Tribute to Nigel Glendinning (1929-2013) ! Earlier this year we heard with great sadness of the death of our founding joint President Nigel Glendinning, who provid- ed unstinting support for ARTES activities and publications from its inception in 2000 right up to his sudden death aged 83. In tribute to him we reprint below an obituary written by Marjorie Trusted (ARTES founding member and Senior Curator of Sculpture at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London) and first published in April 2013 issue of The Art Newspaper. Another ARTES founding member, Hilary Macartney, also produced an obituary for The Burlington Maga- zine, which was published in the July 2013 issue p. 488. ! ! ! !1 ! ! InformARTES NEWSLETTER OF ARTES IBERIAN & LATIN AMERICAN VISUAL CULTURE GROUP ISSUE 13, WINTER 2013 ! Professor Nigel Glendinning, died 23 February 2013 ! The historian and art historian Nigel Glendinning died at his home in East London after a heart attack on 23 February, 2013, aged 83. Nigel’s scholarly acumen, along with his constant willingness to share his academic knowledge, were abun- dantly evident to all who knew him. As a profoundly sage and benevolent writer and teacher, he had few parallels in the Hispanic world. He was known primarily as a Goya specialist, but had a far-reaching acquaintance, indeed comfortable familiarity, with Spanish art, history and literature, from the sixteenth to the twenty-first centuries. ! Oliver Nigel Valentine Glendinning was born in East Sheen, Surrey in October 1929 to a creative family. His mother, Olive, née Ledward, was the sister of the sculptor Gilbert Ledward (1888-1960), and had worked as an assistant to the novelist Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) in the 1920s.
