Exhibitions 2010, Posticum, Oradea Lot Notes Marc Kopil about computer games: Computer games [...] represent people's need to escape from the mundane and commonplace world around us, into a more fantastic realm, in which, paradoxically, things seem to be more safe and well-ordered than in the real world. I know it is not a serious alternative to reality, but what I'm trying to say is that we all tend to run away from the toxic reality that sorounds us. Source: Omagiu, Isoni Design, 2008

Exhibitions 2010, Posticum, Oradea Lot Notes Marc Kopil about his angels: To be honest, I don't know what angels are, what they look like, or how to explain them. But the church, and the religion in general, doesn't have exclusive copyright on them. Maybe they are the people of the future, unaltered by urban despair; maybe angels are us in a future or past life; maybe they are the purest expression of our need for love - that need which we always postpone because of being too busy with our immediate and rather ridiculous 'needs' as consumers.

Nagy Oszkár founded the artists colony in Baia Sprie (Felsőbánya) which was intended to be the rival of the Baia Mare (Nagybánya) colony.

Estimate EUR 40.000-50.000
Provenance Ex-collection ALEXANDRU HASAŞ, Oradea. Lot Notes Corneliu Baba did not joined the modernism of 20th century. He rather developed a sui generis style, somethimes considered unfashionably for a 20th century painter, focusing on what Baba himself cited, El Greco, Rembrandt, and Goya as particularly strong influences. I have asked myself so many times, as others have asked me too, why I am held in such thrall by El Greco, by Rembrandt, and by Goya‌ Rembrandt is the nearest to me. (quoted by Pavel Susara in his book Corneliu Baba, London: Parkstone, 2001. p. 123). Corneliu Baba favourite subjects were the psychological portrait, the harlequin, and the mad king. The present lot represent, probably, the most profound psychological child portrait in the history of Romanian painting.

Max Herman Maxy was a painter, designer and editor who played a major role in Romanian Modernism. Together with Ilarie Voronca, Stephan Roll, Filip Brunea-Fox, Benjamin Fondane, Claude Sernet, and Ion Călugăru, Max Herman Maxy gave the modernist art movements (cubism, dadaism, futurism) the shape of Integralism. The therm (translated from Romanian Integralist) should not be confused with National Integralism ideology. Max Herman was born in Braila on 26 October 1895, in the family of carpenter Iancu Herman and his wife Eti. He studied in Bucharest under Camil Ressu and Iosif Iser in 1913-1915 and under Arthur Segal in 1922 at Berlin. It was Iosif Iser who suggested him “Maxy” pseudonym. He joined Novembergruppe in October 1922 and exhibited at Der Sturm on May 1923 together with: Alexey von Jawlensky, Arthur Segal, Cesar Domela, El Lissitzky, Erich Buchholz, Hans Richter, Hannah Hoch, Ivan Puni, Lazlo Peri, Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, Teo Van Doesburg, and Vilmos Huszar. Returning in Bucharest he organized First International Contimporanul Exhibition with the participation of: Arthur Segal, Constantin Brancusi, Erich Buchholz, Hans Mattis-Teitsch, Hans Arp, Hans Richter, Karel Teige, Kurt Schwitters, Lajos Kassak, Marcel Iancu, Mieczysław Szczuka, Milița Petrașcu, Paul Klee, Victor Brauner, and Viking Eggeling. The exhibition was followed by the second in 1930 held together with the Facla Group, honouring the visit of F.T. Marinetti in Romania, by the third in 1935 and by the fourth in 1936. In January 1925, using the Bauhaus as a the model he organized Academia Artelor Decorative (The Academy for Applied Arts). In May 1929 at Exposicion Internacional held in Barcelona, Max Herman Maxy was awarded with gold medal for his decorative work “Tea Set”. In May 1930 M.H.Maxy exhibited at the Gemeente Museum voor Moderne Kunst, The Hague and in June at Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. In July 1930 M.H.Maxy exhibited at Galerie Giroux, Bruxelles. With the invitation of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, in December 1933, Max Herman Maxy exhibited at Futurist Art Exhibition, held in Rome. M.H.Maxy exhibited at Romanian Pavilion, Exposition Universale, on September 1937. After World War II he exhibited at Prague in 1956 and at Budapest in 1959. He died in 1971 in Bucharest.

The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller.

6. LIMITED WARRANTY 6.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph, CALUSARI warrants for a period of five (5) years from the date of the sale that any property described in headings printed in UPPER CASE TYPE (i.e. headings having all capital-letter type) in this catalogue which is stated without qualification to be the work of a named author or authorship, is authentic and not a forgery. The term “author” or “authorship” refers to the creator of the property or to the period, culture, source or origin, as the case may be, with which the creation of such property is identified in the UPPER CASE TYPE description of the property in this catalogue. Only UPPER CASE TYPE headings of lots in this catalogue indicate what is being warranted by Calusari. Calusari warranty does not apply to supplemental material which appears below the UPPER CASE TYPE headings of each lot and Calusari is not responsible for any errors or omissions in such material. The warranty is subject to the following conditions: (i) It does not apply where (a) the catalogue description corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts at the date of the sale or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions; or (b) correct identification of a lot can be demonstrated only by means of either a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of publication of the catalogue was unreasonably expensive or impractical or likely to have caused damage to the property. (ii) The benefits of the warranty are not assignable and shall apply only to the original buyer of the lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by Calusari when the lot was sold at auction. (iv) In no event will our liability to a Buyer will exceed the hammer price price actually paid. The Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against Calusari and the Seller, in place of any other remedy which might be available, is the cancellation of the sale and the refund of the hammer price paid for the lot. Neither Calusari nor the Seller will be liable for any special, incidental or consequential damages including, without limitation, loss of profits nor for interest. 6.2 To be able to claim under this LIMITED WARRANTY the original purchaser of record must: (i) notify Calusari in writing within three (3) months of receiving any information that causes the original buyer of the lot to question the accuracy of UPPER CASE TYPE type heading, specifying lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons for such question; and (ii) return the Lot to Calusari original selling location in the same condition as at the day of the sale; and (iii) obtain at the original Buyer's costs, the reports of three independent and recognized experts in the field, which question the accucy of UPPER CASE TYPE type heading. 7. EXTENT OF LIMITED WARRANTY We agree to refund the purchase price in the circumstances of the LIMITED WARRANTY set out in paragraph 6 above. Apart from that, neither the seller nor we, nor any of our officers, employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any lot. Except as stated in paragraph 2 and 6, neither the Seller, ourselves, our officers, employees or agents, give any representation, warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect of any lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition, attribution, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, literature or historical relevance. 8.
