Tom Wesselmann (Cincinnati 1931-2004 New York) Long Beach Seascape, 1991/95 Alkyd oil on cut-out aluminum 99,1 x 190,5 cm Signed and dated on the back Provenance: estate of the artist Tom Wesselmann’s creative approach was in constant evolution throughout his long and productive career. Never one to follow artistic convention, he continually sought new materials and formats. His fascination with innovative surfaces and technologically advanced techniques drove him to push aesthetic and formal frontiers, as seen in 'Long Beach Seascape'. In the 1980s, Wesselmann developed a laser cutting technique that opened up a new world of creative possibilities. Using this novel method, the artist delighted in transposing his bold visual vocabulary into works that challenged the boundaries between painting, drawing, and sculpture. Speaking to the New York Times in 1985, Wesselmann couldn’t contain his enthusiasm for the new medium: 'I've just had the best year of my life [...] I always work in a kind of near ecstasy, anyway, but there's really been something about the new work that grabbed me.'' Centering dynamic line and vibrant colour, 'Long Beach Seascape' demonstrates the artist’s endless pursuit of radical forms of creative expression.

Galerie Hadjer
Sonia Delaunay (Ukraine, Gradizhsk 1885-1979 Paris) Rythmes Ondulatoires, circa 1970 Handwoven Aubusson wool tapestry 165 x 225 cm Woven by Pinton Frères, Felletin-Aubusson, France, after Sonia Delaunay’s original design Signed 'Sonia Delaunay' in the weave, lower left, and bearing the Pinton workshop monogramme Edition of 6 + 2 AP Accompanied by a certificate from the Pinton workshops, Felletin-Aubusson, France Rythmes Ondulatoires is an important example of Sonia Delaunay’s exploration of colour, rhythm and movement translated into the medium of tapestry. The composition is structured through an intricate interplay of circles, semicircles, concentric arcs and intersecting geometric planes. Vivid fields of red, blue, green, yellow and orange are set against black, white and grey, generating a powerful sense of optical vibration and continuous movement across the woven surface. The composition reflects Delaunay’s lifelong investigation into simultaneous colour contrasts, developed from the early twentieth century onwards. Together with Robert Delaunay, she explored the capacity of juxtaposed colours and geometric forms to create rhythm, luminosity and movement. These principles became fundamental to her distinctive contribution to the development of abstraction. The Collection Société Générale similarly describes Delaunay’s work in terms of her investigations into light, the movement of colours and “simultaneous contrast,” through vivid geometric forms organised into rhythmic compositions. The tapestry also reflects Delaunay’s longstanding commitment to dissolving the traditional distinction between fine and applied arts. Throughout her career, her abstract vocabulary extended beyond painting into textiles, fashion, interior decoration and other forms of applied art. Her use of pure colour and simultaneous contrasts remained central across these different media. In Rythmes Ondulatoires, the translation of Delaunay’s composition into wool by the Pinton workshops, one of the leading modern tapestry manufacturers in the Aubusson tradition, gives physical substance and texture to her chromatic language. The concentric curves and repeated arcs create an almost musical rhythm, while the juxtaposition of geometric forms produces a composition that appears to expand and contract across the surface. References and comparable examples Another Rythmes Ondulatoires, dated 1970, is documented as a handwoven Aubusson wool tapestry in scholarly lecture material devoted to Robert and Sonia Delaunay. The Société Générale Art Collection also holds a work entitled Rythmes ondulatoires, measuring 167 × 225 cm, closely corresponding in dimensions and composition. The collection describes the work through its geometric lines and forms, interwoven vivid colours and characteristic rhythmic harmony. Another Pinton-woven Rythmes Ondulatoires was publicly presented by Galleria Antonio Verolino at ArtePadova in 2024, documenting the continued presence of this composition within the art market and exhibition context. The tapestry is in very good overall condition, with strong and well-preserved colours, with no known restorations.
Heutink Ikonen
Two angels of the Lord Central Russia, ca. 1800 diam. 44 cm Provenance: private collection, Germany This remarkable icon depicts two angels, each holding a ripidion – a ceremonial liturgical fan symbolising the constant presence of the seraphim around the altar, which is used during processions and other solemn occasions in the Eastern liturgy. Given its distinctive shape and subject, it is likely that the icon formed part of a church iconostasis, where it would probably have been positioned to the right of the royal doors, which provided access to the altar area.

Epoque Fine Jewels
A SUPERB ART DECO BRACELET BY VAN CLEEF & ARPELS A superb Art Deco platinum and diamond ‘wave’ bracelet by Van Cleef & Arpels, designed as a wide openwork band composed of sixteen stylised rolling waves, each set throughout with diamonds. Total diamond weight: approximately 30 carats. Signed Van Cleef & Arpels and numbered. Period: Art Deco, circa 1925. The rhythmic, continuous wave motif creates a strong sense of movement and symmetry, characteristic of the refined geometric elegance of the Art Deco period. The dynamic repetition of the wave forms evokes the era’s fascination with speed, progress and technological innovation, reflecting the visual language of the Machine Age, in which streamlined motion and modern engineering inspired both architecture and the decorative arts. This impression of forward movement is reinforced by the uninterrupted horizontal flow of the design, giving the bracelet a distinctly modern and energetic presence. Executed in platinum, the bracelet displays exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous stone setting, allowing maximum brilliance while preserving the lightness of the openwork structure. The scroll-like abstraction of natural forms into repeating patterns exemplifies the Art Deco ideal of transforming organic movement into elegant modern geometry.
