Brevets d’invention, Éditions Faton, 2012; Daniëlle Kisluk-Grosheide, Maison Giroux and its 'Oriental' Marquetry Technique. The Journal of the Furniture History Society, vol. XXXV, 1999; Roberto Polo. The Eye, Frances Lincoln Publisher Ltd., 2011; Bill Pallot, Marqueteries en cloisonné de la veuve Duvinage, dans L’Estampille-L’Objet d’art, September 2007 The top of this splendid pedestal table was crafted using a technique patented by Duvinage on May 6th, 1874, described as "a type of mosaic with metal cloisons for furniture and art objects." The ivory plaques covering the surface are separated by a network of gilt metal resembling branches, whilst the central motif is a delicate marquetry of multicoloured wood. To enhance the luxuriousness of the piece, some of the leaves are made of silver. This extraordinary marquetry work is combined with three majestic sacred ibises, birds characteristic of the Nile region in Antiquity, revered by the Egyptians as divine symbols.
Galerie Nathalie Obadia, Paris/Brussels
Shirley Jaffe (USA, Elizabeth 1923-2016 Louveciennes, France) Untitled, circa 1955 Oil on canvas 174.5 x 101.5 x 4 cm Provenance: the Artist’s studio; Estate of Shirley Jaffe; Galerie Nathalie Obadia Dated circa 1955, Shirley Jaffe's Untitled is a work that is both remarkable and characteristic of this decisive decade, for its composition of bursts of small, independent brushstrokes that coalesce into irregular blocks. These shapes, composed of countless brushstrokes and sometimes evoking natural forms, are inserted into surfaces that are more modulated than before, and in which patches of local color appear. Fine glazes and dramatic shifts from light to dark contribute to the luminous transparency of her works from the 1950s, which seem flooded with a beautiful, roborative clarity. At the time, Shirley Jaffe was looking for “the moment in a painting that was unusual”. The important thing, for her, was to “bring the forms out of the background, while constantly tilting the balance”. In her works from this period, she often succeeded in giving the impression that shapes emanate naturally from the application of paint, and that compositions become unstable, sometimes radically so. This text appears in Raphaël Rubinstein's 2014 catalog Les Formes de la Dislocation. This work has never been exhibited.

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.

joana vasconcelos
Joana Vasconcelos (Paris, 1971) Blue Rose, 2016 Stainless steel shower heads, handmade woollen crochet, fabric, ornaments, polyester H 246 x W 95 x D 47 cm Provenance: the artist's studio Courtesy Joana Vasconcelos and Galerie La Patinoire Royale Bach A group of works belonging to various series - Showers, Washbasins and Urinals - in which Joana Vasconcelos adds colourful crocheted elements to household sanitary ware. Resorting to crochet, Joana refers to the intimacy of the domestic realm through its link to female labour, who work from home and for the home. Textiles infiltrate and/or cover up ceramics. These coloured, smooth, and pliable additions contrast with the hard, sterile coldness of the porcelain. The disruptive process of transformation encourages a fresh look at these everyday objects and intimacy. "Water, for me, is synonymous with life and renewal. It is such a constant presence in our routine in Europe that I was only aware of its real importance when I traveled to Mexico. I remember walking into a pueblo house, which consisted of a single room, where everything happened, complete with a hammock and television, but there wasn't one single tap. That realisation awakened me. Gradually, water entered my body of work, through the shape of swimming pools, urinols or washbasins, for instance, where the aquatic representation is made through textile elements, often in blue colors with bright details simulating the water reflection. My work as an artist allows me to address pressing matters, such as the sustainability of the planet and the management of resources for the future. And the expression of water in my work is done through abundance, with elements that flow from the works, defining what water represents more and more: a luxury."

Ottavio Vannini (Florence, 1585-1644) Susanna and the Elders, circa 1615-1620 Oil on canvas 135 x 170 cm Provenance: private collection, Italy Literature: G. Papi, A New 'Susanna' by Ottavio Vannini, Paragone, 805 (3rd series, 132), 2017, pp. 30-33, col. pl. 34 Ottavio Vannini was born in Florence in 1585, as recorded in the city’s Baptismal Registers. According to the two scholars Dr. Gianni Papi and Dr. Filippo Gheri, this painting represents an important addition to Vannini’s catalogue, due to its brilliant pictorial quality and its embodiment of the painter's interests and ideas. The current work serves as a milestone for understanding Vannini’s Roman period, showcasing the impact that classicist artistic culture had on him after the second decade of the seventeenth century
Galerie Sophie Scheidecker
Anton Henning (Berlin, 1964) Blumenstilleben n° 253 (AH 2004-196), 2004 Oil on canvas 220 x 189 cm Anton Henning, born in Berlin in 1964, is a contemporary German artist whose work includes painting, sculpture, photography and installations. A self-taught artist, he trained largely through direct observation of ancient and modern art during his travels in the United States and Europe in the 1980s. Henning is distinguished by a bold approach that fuses a variety of styles and influences, from the old masters to modern movements. He appropriated classic artistic genres such as still life, portraiture and landscape. His style is recognisable for its complex compositions, bright colours and taste for geometric and organic motifs. An important figure in contemporary European art, Anton Henning has exhibited in renowned galleries and museums in Europe, notably in Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands, and his works are included in major public and private collections. In his series of paintings Blumenstilleben (Still Life of Flowers), Anton Henning explores the traditional theme of the floral still life with a singularly modern twist. Blumenstilleben No.253 (AH 2004-196), painted in 2004, is notable for its treatment of the floral motif with a palette of vibrant colours, interwoven with geometric motifs of exaggerated proportions, visible brushstrokes and juxtapositions of textures, giving it a particularly pop, modern feel. With this series, Henning also seems to be questioning the relationship between academic painting and contemporary art. He does not hesitate to break with the solemnity of traditional still lifes by introducing elements reminiscent of modern design, abstraction and even the aesthetics of comics. Inspired by the aesthetic codes of the old masters, Henning revisits the subject of flower bouquets and floral compositions in a style that oscillates between the abstract and the figurative.
