Dino Martens (Venice, 1894-1970) For Aureliano Toso Murano, Italy, 1953 Oriente Rubinio (model 5242) Free-blown glass decorated with enclosed ground glass, flattened zanfirico pieces and transparent coloured glass squares H 34 x Ø 14.5 cm Provenance: acquired from an important German collection Literature: Heiremans M, Dino Martens, Muranese glass designer, Stuttgart, 1999; Heiremans M, Vetreria Aureliano Toso, Murano 1938-1968, Stuttgart, 2016 Exhibitions: XXVIa Espoizione Biennale Internazionale d'Arte, Venice 1952; Vidros de Murano em Lisboa, Lisbon 1961 The present object represents not only the Muranese fifties in full splendor by the combination of bold primary colors but is on its own also emblematic for the glass designs of the Venetian painter Dino Martens. Technically seen, it is the culmination of Martens experiments in coloring glass through ground glass. This series was presented as the 'Oriente', named after their vivid coloring - at the time a novelty on Murano - which reminded Martens of his years in East Africa. The line was firstly presented at the XXVI Biennial of Venice in 1952. Though seemingly arbitrarily, the composition - which consists of ground glass, transparent colored glass squares, flattened zanfirico canes and fragments of broken reticello vessels - was first carefully arranged on a flat surface before being heated and picked-up with a colorless blown form. Iconic because designed by a painter, alien to glass making.
Galerie von Vertes
George Condo (New Hampshire, Concord 1957) Female composition, 2006 Oil on canvas 165.1 x 152.4 cm Verso signed and dated 'Condo 06' George Condo, Female Portrait, 2006 'Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before'. Edgar Allan Poe Like the ‘Manichini’ or metaphysical mannequins of Giorgio de Chirico that reject a face as a symbol of status and identity, Female Composition is created as a hand puppet on a stick wearing a distinguished cloak, mocking the traditional depictions of the female portrait as seen in the works by Parmigianino, Rembrandt, and Picasso. This ironic interpretation depicts the woman as a faceless puppet with breasts, a cape, neckless and head topped with a carrot. Condo simultaneously offers a deep respect for art history and a blatant disregard for conventional narratives. In his own words: “As far as I’m concerned, the Renaissance was yesterday, and Cubism was a hundred years before it.” (George Condo quoted in Simon Baker, George Condo: Painting Reconfigured, New York 2015, p. 104). Female portrait perfectly encapsulates Condo’s concept of Artificial Realism. Exploring the carefully constructed conventions of traditional portraiture and how our reality is made up of artificial components, this majestic dystopian portrait ingeniously challenges the artificiality of visual representation.

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.

Georges Vantongerloo (1886-1965) was one of the founding members of De Stijl in 1918 along with Theo Van Doesburg and Piet Mondrian, among others. The Antwerp-based artist created sculptures as well as paintings and gouaches and is considered one of the pioneers of abstract art. He was a member of the 'Cercle et Carré' group and founded the Abstraction-Création group in Paris in 1931 to promote abstract art. At first, his abstract works still followed the straight line and angle but from 1937, curves and circles entered Vantongerloo's work. With the curved line, his work becomes more lyrical and playful. Rational volumes and proportions are replaced by lines that reflect an expression of energy.

rembrandt bugatti
Rembrandt Bugatti (Milan 1884-1916 Paris) Deux grands léopards, circa 1913-1914 Bronze, richly shaded black brown patina H 32.5 x W 108.7 x D 16.7 cm Bronze signed 'R.Bugatti', cast by Albino Palazzolo for 'A.A Hébrard cire perdue, Paris' (seal), second example inscribed (2) from an identified edition at 8 examples (circa 1914-1934) Cast in 1918 This model is typical of Bugatti’s way of depicting couples in a peaceful attitude, insisting on the fluidity of the line and the delicacy of the modelling: the first Leopard's barely raised left foreleg – a hesitation to walk ? – and the tail of the second, extending the scene to the rear, are the signatures of his work. The group belongs to the sculptor’s so-called Cubist period, when volumes become as if mathematised; and finally, of the patinas known for this model, the naturalistic red-brown colour is the most suited to the subject and also the one most sought-after by collectors. In Rembrandt Bugatti’s 326-issues in the catalogue raisonné, the 'Deux grands léopards' are one of the most imposing groups of beasts in this collection, after 'Les trois panthères marchant' from Bonhams in 2024 and the 'Deux panthères' from Rouillac in 2020. The edition is identified at 8 examples, all cast between 1915 and 1934. Ours is the second, cast in 1918.

René Magritte (Lessines 1898-1967 Brussels) Les Grâces naturelles, circa 1953 Red chalk on paper 47 x 36.7 cm Signed lower right Signed and titled on the reverse lower right Certificate of authenticity by Comité Magritte Provenance: La Sirène gallery, Brussels; private collection; sale Sotheby's, Paris; private collection, Paris 'If we imagine young girls blossoming, we can also acknowledge a bird in bloom. The emergence of this bird is as delightful as the sunrise'. René Magritte The bird-plant in this beautiful chalk drawing, Les Grâces naturelles, is an emblematic and recurring theme of Magritte's art. This particularly graceful model of metamorphosis was cquired from the Belgian artist in 1953 by Raymond Becquevort, founder of the La Sirène gallery in Brussels. Frequented by Ponge, Artaud and Michaud, it was a major hub for the surrealist intelligentsia; a place where words discovered images. Magritte began developing the theme of the bird-plant in 1942, when Belgium was under Nazi occupation. He adapted this theme into infinite variations moving from chalk to gouache, then onto canvas. So often symbols of hope, here birds are poetic and neurasthenic metaphors. The assimilation of the naturally-mobile bird with the plant that is rooted deep in the earth, contributes to a troubled state of mind.
