Vincenzo Raffaelli (Rome, 1783-1865) Round table, circa 1835-1845 Various coloured pebbles and marbles Tabletop: ⌀ 91.2 cm - 5.2 cm Vincenzo Raffaelli Rome, Via del Babuino 93 Performed between 1835 and 1845 ca. Round top in coloured marbles 'pebble' samples 200 ca. The round top in coloured marble that we are dealing with, is a real 'pebble' sample made of ancient 'excavation' marble and modern marble, that is, used after the sixteenth century such as Malachite, Portoro or Napoleonic Orbicular Granite etc. The particularity and rarity of this table is given by the fact that the samples of marbles used, in addition to being rare then (and even more so today), were worked differently from all the other types of samples that were made between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The sample tables of this period generally have a frame in black marble from Belgium or other fine marbles, which contains all the rare colored samples committed.

Andy Warhol (Pittsburgh 1928-1987 New York) Patty Raynes and son, 1985 Acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas 102 a 102 cm Signed on the reverse and dated 'Andy Warhol 85' Provenance: Patty Raynes, USA (1985 directly acquired from the artist); private collection, USA (2022 acquired from the above) In 1985, Patty Raynes commissioned two works, this one with a yellow background and a second one with a white background. ‘Patty Raynes and Son’ from 1985 is one of a series of portraits in which Warhol no longer exclusively depicted global celebrities, but increasingly portrayed members of his social environment - individuals whose social position exerted a symbolic aura, even if they remained outside the pop-cultural canon. Patty Raynes came from a respected family of American industrialists, socialite and daughter of oil tycoon Marvin Davis, a fact that inevitably lends the work the character of a status portrait. Warhol, who was always concerned with the relationship between appearance and identity, addresses the portrait here as an expression of social affiliation. The subject, the depiction of a mother and child, is immediately reminiscent of the archetypal motifof the Madonna and Child. Warhol adopts this traditional pictorial form but transforms it into a contemporary icon: the sacred content isdisrupted by the screen-printing technique, giving the scene a cool, distanced character. Patty Haynes and son emerge from this mature period in Warhol’s oeuvre, when the artist extended his repertoire of subjects to include his panoply of famous friends, artists, actors, and socialites. A collection idolizing the who’s who of New York, Warhol intended for the 40 by 40-inch series to be exhibited together in a “Portrait of Society,” a dream eventually realized at the artist’s retrospective Andy Warhol—From A to B and Back Again at the Whitney Museum in New York in 2018.

Farah Atassi (Brussels, 1981) The Shadow, 2026 Oil on canvas 195,3 x 114,3 cm Signed and dated on the back Provenance: 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.

Corinthian capital (variation on a Roman type from the 3rd/4th century) Central-southern Italy, late 12th - early 13th century Greek Marble H 52 x W 50 x D 50 cm In this unusual variation on the Corinthian there are three orders of acanthus leaves, finelly indented with drill holes in evidence, which reach up to the top of the kalathos. Already in ancient times this type of capital was exported to Aquileia (Udine) a city destroyed by Attila in 452 and temporarily abandoned upon the arrival of the longboards in 568, as shown by a fragmentary example in the national Archeological Museum datable between the 3rd and 4th century.

Giocondo Albertolli (Bedano 1742-1839 Milan) (attributed to) Milan, Late 18th Century Wall Lights H 72 x W 45 x D 37 cm These elegant gilt-metal wall sconces are attributed to the Milanese architect, designer and ornamentist Giocondo Albertolli, one of the leading figures of Italian Neo-classicism. Their design closely relates to the engraved ornament published in Albertolli's celebrated pattern books, particularly Ornamenti Diversi (Milan, 1782), which played a central role in disseminating the new classical taste throughout Lombardy and Northern Italy. The sconces display many of the motifs associated with Albertolli's ornamental vocabulary, including scrolling acanthus brances, finely fluted candle sockets and radiating drip pans. Their unusually tall proportions and boldly projecting arms give them a distinctly sculptural character, creating a sense of movement and depth rarely encountered in wall lights of the period. The open voluted arms, enriched with naturalistic foliage, closely resemble a number of Albertolli's published designs for girandoles and wall lights. Born in Bedano, near Lugano, Albertolli settled in Milan in 1774 at the invitation of the architect Giuseppe Piermarini. As Professor of Ornament at the Brera Academy he exerted a profound influence on the decorative arts of Northern Italy, providing designs for architecture, furniture, metalwork and interior decoration. His published engravings became an important source for craftsmen working in the Neoclassical style throughout the late eighteenth century. The present sconces are attributed to Giocondo Albertolli and were almost certainly produced by craftsmen working within the circle of artists and decorators associated with him in late eighteenth century Milan. Their refined design and high quality of execution reflect the sophisticated decorative arts tradition that flourished in Lombardy during the Neoclassical period.
