Silver salver Portugal, late 16th century Weight 1050 gr. Ø 33 cm Literature: Reynaldo Dos Santos; Irene Quilho. Ourivesaria portuguesa nas colecções particulares. Lisbon: 1974. pp. 139-140; Gonçalo Vasconcelos e Sousa, Pratas Portuguesas em Colecções Particulares: séc. XV ao séc. XX. Oporto: 1998. pp. 54-55 This concave silver salver is a remarkable example of Portuguese silverwork from the late 16th century, often serving a utilitarian function in the households of prominent families of the time. Pieces like this, richly decorated with geometric elements, volutes, and shell motifs, demonstrate the artistic sophistication and craftsmanship of Portuguese artisans during that period. The base of the piece is divided into eight dotted trapezoidal frames adorned with floral elements, while the engraved central medallion features a stylized open flower, highlighting the intricate ornamentation. The historical and artistic value of this salver is further attested by its presence in the collections of prestigious museums such as the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga in Lisbon (Legado de Barros e Sá), the Lázaro Galdiano Foundation in Madrid (inventory n° 2484, room 11), and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (accession n° 13.23.1), as well as in the private collection of Dr. Miguel Pereira de Abreu in Oporto. These pieces not only represent the excellence of Portuguese silverwork but also illustrate the cultural and social roles that utilitarian objects played in the households of important families during this period.

günther uecker
Günther Uecker (Germany, Wendorf 1930) Wind, 2005 Nails and oil on canvas laid down on wood 200 x 160 cm Signed on reverse This artwork is registered in the Uecker Archive with the number GU.05.011 and will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné Günther Uecker has for six decades developed his reliefs comprising dynamic arrangements of nails. Born in 1930 in Wendorf, Germany, Uecker studied at the Kunsthochschule Berlin Weissensee and Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf, where he lives and works today. In the 1950s, influenced by Eastern philosophy and Gregorian chanting, he began a ritual of hammering nails. These materials signify protection and creation to the artist, who remembers nailing planks over the windows of his home to deter Soviet troops after the Second World War. By 1957, he was hammering nails onto canvas to achieve a 'sundial' optical effect, casting light and shadow in ephemeral patterns. In 1961, Uecker joined Heinz Mack and Otto Piene in the anti-expressionist movement Group Zero, which prioritised expanding beyond the traditional dimensions of the canvas into kinetic, serial, and participatory realms. After the group's dissolution in 1966, Uecker's work incorporated aspects of conceptual and land art, and he began designing stage sets for operas. Uecker's work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at museums worldwide. Retrospectives of his work have been organised by the Central House of Artists, Moscow (1988) and Kunsthalle München (1993), and he participated in Documenta (1964, 1968, 1977) and the 1970 Venice Biennale. His work resides in such collections as the Art Institute of Chicago; Guggenheim and MoMa in New York; Museum Ludwig in Cologne; Centre Pompidou in Paris; Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam; and Tate Modern in London.
