Galerie Perrin

Odilon Redon (Bordeaux 1840-1916 Paris) Femme de profil, circa 1901-1905 Oil on paper mounted on panel 52 x 49.7 cm 71 x 68 cm (framed) Signed lower right 'Odilon Redon' This work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné currently in preparation by the Wildenstein Plattner Institute Provenance: Roger Imbert collection Few images sum up Odilon Redon’s late manner as completely as this small panel. A woman’s profile, her head wrapped in a coif, rises from the heart of a flower as though she were its pistil; around her, reds, oranges and a pale, luminous ground dissolve the boundary between figure and bloom. Painted in oil on paper around 1901–1905, it belongs to the decisive decade in which Redon, after two decades of the charcoal noirs, turned to colour and transformed the hallucinatory visions of his youth into images of serene metamorphosis. The profile is Redon’s most personal format. Seen from the side and half-concealed, his faces never quite give themselves away: “At the centre of my work,” he wrote, “there is a small door that opens onto a mystery.” Here that door opens onto two motifs that run through his finest works of the period: the head within the flower, as in Fleur illuminée (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, c. 1900), and the coif that reappears on male and female faces alike up to Moine lisant of 1914 (Kunst Museum Winterthur). Oil on paper, a support Redon used for some of his most intimate late pictures, gave him the velvety, floating surface of his pastels together with the depth of painting. The painting entered the collection of the Paris dealer Roger Imbert in 1930 alongside two Redons from the collection of Robert de Domecy, the patron for whom the artist painted the decorative panels now at the Musée d’Orsay, a provenance that places it in the circle of Redon’s closest early supporters. It will be included in the digital catalogue raisonné in preparation at the Wildenstein Plattner Institute. Coming to light as Redon’s colour works are being reassessed by major exhibitions in Winterthur, Gifu, Tokyo and at the Getty, Femme de profil offers what rarely reaches the market: a signed, intimately scaled Symbolist Redon in colour, in which the dream has become a flower.

Almine Rech

Farah Atassi (Brussels, 1981) The Shadow, 2026 Oil on canvas 195.3 x 114.3 cm Signed and dated on the back Provenance: the artist's studio Exhibitions: Farah Atassi, 'Metamorphosis', 26 June-31 July 2026, Almine Rech New York 'The Shadow' comes from a recent body of work in which Farah Atassi explored themes of metamorphosis and freedom. The central figure is a chimeric half woman-half flower that appears to flourish before our very eyes. Daphne - the nymph turned into a laurel tree to escape the god Apollo - comes to mind, a representation of transformation and transcendence. In 'The Shadow' the flower woman is organic, yet sculptural, retaining a distinct humanity that the artist has simplified, symbolised. While the composition is dreamlike and ethereal, a bold shadow brings a touch of realism, anchoring the twisting form to the pictorial plane. This work is a painting within a painting, a formal choice that allows Atassi to contrast two distinct realms while also interrogating the metamorphic potential of art. Notes of Magritte’s uncanny, atmospheric beauty emerge as the flower woman in 'The Shadow' is captured in the act of liberating herself from a canvas, striking out into the rosy dawn.

Verdini Antiques

Enrico Podio (Active 1840-1890 between Rome and Venice) Micromosaic centre table, 1873 Polychrome micromosaic, patinated, cast and chased bronze H 100 x Ø 125 cm Signed and dated 'Enrico Podio fecit' and 'Venezia 1873' This exceptional table is one of the most ambitious expressions of nineteenth-century Venetian micromosaic. Its distinction lies in the rare combination of monumental scale, extraordinary technical refinement, documented authorship and a fully integrated sculptural bronze base. Micromosaic is more often associated with small cabinet objects. Here, Enrico Podio expands the technique to a table, transforming a traditionally intimate art into a commanding architectural statement. The head of Medusa is modelled through minute glass tesserae with subtle changes of flesh tone, shadow, hair and serpent scales. The optical blending approaches the effects of painting while remaining unmistakably mosaic. The inscriptions 'ENRICO PODIO FECIT' and 'VENEZIA 1873' give the work unusual documentary precision, securely identifying the maker, place and date and anchoring the table within the mature Venetian revival of mosaic art. The patinated, cast and chased bronze pedestal is conceived as an integral part of the design. Its classical heads, masks, architectural members and zoomorphic details create a powerful counterpoint to the brilliant colour of the micromosaic top. The synthesis of rarity, scale, technical mastery, documented authorship and visual impact places this table among the most impressive examples of nineteenth-century Italian decorative arts.

Kunsthaus Kende

Bikō Hayashi (Akita, 1937) Kin-Gin-Dō Mokume-gane vase 'Hyotan', 2024 Fine gold, fine silver, copper H 18 cm Signed by the artist below and on the accompanying tomobako (wooden box) Provenance: the artist's personal collection Exhibition: featured in April 2026 at the solo exhibition 'Bikō Hayashi-Gold, Silver, and Copper Mokume-gane: Cultural Property Exhibition' in Akita Japanese metal artist Bikō Hayashi is one of the foremost representatives of contemporary Japanese metalwork. Combining the centuries-old tradition of kōgei with a modern sculptural language, he is renowned for his mastery of tankin, the art of shaping metal through hammering. A defining achievement of his career is the rediscovery of Kin-Gin-Dō Mokume-gane (gold, silver and copper wood-grain metal), a highly complex technique dating back to the early Edo period. Once used to decorate samurai swords and armour, this craft was almost entirely lost with the decline of the samurai class. After more than four decades of research, Hayashi succeeded in reconstructing its traditional methods and metal compositions, bringing this remarkable art form back to life and adapting it for contemporary sculptures and vessels. In recognition of his contribution, he was designated a custodian of intangible cultural heritage by Akita Prefecture. The Hyōtan, or bottle gourd, is a traditional Japanese symbol associated with fertility, prosperity, longevity and protection. Its distinctive shape represents the preservation of happiness and positive energy.
