Paul Klee (Switzerland, Münchenbuchsee 1879-1940 Locarno) Drawing for KN the Forger (Zeichnung zu KN der Schmid), 1922 Pencil on paper, mounted by the artist 25.6 x 31 cm Signed upper left; signed, dated, numbered and bearing a mark by the artist on the mount Provenance: Gustav Kahnweiler (Mayor Gallery), London; Curt Valentin (Buchholz Gallery), Berlin-New York, 1952; Herbert Einstein, London; Galerie d'Art Moderne, Basel; Galerie Jean-Pierre Durand, Geneva; Berggruen & Cie, Paris, January 1970; Notizie Arte Contemporanea, Turin; Acquis auprès de cette dernière galerie par le propriétaire actuel; Aste Bolaffi, vente aux enchères du 13 mai 2025, lot 92; Galerie Ronny Van de Velde Literature: W. Grohmann, Paul Klee, Handzeichnungen 1921–1930, Potsdam, 1934, n° 57; The Paul Klee Foundation (éd.), Paul Klee, Catalogue raisonné, tome III, 1919–1922, Berne, 1999, n° 3020, p. 451 (illustré) Produced in 1922, Drawing for KN the Smith is regarded as a beautiful testament to the close friendship between Klee and Kandinsky. The drawing is a study for the painting of the same name, which Klee also created in 1922 and which was owned by Nina Kandinsky (now part of the Kandinsky Collection at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris). This work contains elements of Klee’s unique ability to convey lightness through childlike imagery, such as the almost caricatured figure that brings both the drawing and the painting to life in a dreamy, elegant manner. The date is also significant: Klee began teaching at the Bauhaus in January 1921, and Kandinsky joined in December of the same year. In 1922, both artists exhibited works at the First Thuringian Exhibition at the Landesmuseum in Weimar. A friendship developed between the two artists, considered one of the most fascinating of the twentieth century.

Reliquary 'in the form of a sarcophagus with a hinged roof' Limoges, mid-13th century Gilt copper plates, champlevé enamels H 11.8 x W 27.5 x D 9.5 cm Literature: Inventaire général des monuments et des richesses artistiques de la France. Emaux limousins du Moyen Age.

It is made of gilt copper plates and decorated with champlevé enamels depicting sixteen half-length angels emerging from clouds against a white enamel background. The decoration consists of two superimposed registers of three engraved gilt angels set within round medallions. The medallions stand out against a blue enamel ground adorned with gilded Gothic foliage and interlace patterns. This reliquary belongs to a series of standardised reliquaries known from the Limousin region, all dating from the 13th century. Its dimensions make it one of the largest examples of this 'sarcophagus with movable roof' type. It is closely related to the exceptional large reliquary of Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche, classified as part of the Treasure of the French Historic Monuments.

Ivory crucifix figure of Christ South Netherlandish, circa 1690-1700 Rosewood cross, carved ivory, silver halo, giltwood Small chips to fabric of hanging Perizonium, old smooth creamy patina H 109 x W 41.5 x D 22 cm (cross) H 40 x W 24 x D 6 cm (Christ) Belgium CITES: 2025/BE00989/CE Provenance: Finch and Co, circa 2005; English private collection; Irish collection Comparative reference: a similar example in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum inv. no. A.73-1920 A finely carved ivory figure of Christ mounted on a rosewood cross, adorned with a silver halo and a sacred motto. The cross is embellished with giltwood details and set on its original scallop-shaped rosewood base. At Christ’s feet rests an ivory skull and crossbones, symbolising Golgotha. His legs remain uncrossed, with hands and feet affixed by iron nails. In this image of the Passion, Christ is shown alive, his eyes open looking upwards to his right, his teeth visible with his mouth open in his call to God. Imagery based on the Passion of Christ became increasingly popular from the 13th century. The mix of emotions which well up in the devout upon looking at such a human image, a blend of guilt and gratitude, sorrow and sympathy, is a very powerful combination. The Carthusian monk, Ludolph of Saxony (died 1378) expressed this attraction, without seeking to explain it, in his ‘Life of Christ’: ‘I know not for sure…. how it is that you are sweeter in the heart of one who loves you in the form of flesh than as the word…. It is sweeter to view you as dying before the Jews on the tree, than as holding sway over the angels in Heaven, to see you as a man bearing every aspect of human nature to the end, than as God manifesting divine nature, to see you as the dying Redeemer than as the invisible Creator.’

ben storms
Ben Storms (Ghent, 1983) Ex Hale coffee table, 2024 Miel onyx H 32 x W 180 x D 90 cm Provenance: the artist's studio Ex Hale is a marble table that mimics the shape of a monumental cushion, resulting from a transformation of materials. Two metal sheets are blown up with the same technique that Ben Storms first used for his In Vein and In Hale tables. The resulting cushion shape is then scanned in 3D, after which a CNC machine mills the same shape from a block of marble. Ex Hale plays with our common notions of materiality: the hard stone looks soft instead, an impression that is further enhanced by the delicate surface treatment.
