Yves Tanguy’s paintings of the 1930s consistently depicted his signature bone-like, biomorphic shapes in desolate landscapes, yet the decade also saw subtle and important changes in the artist’s output. Paintings of this era nearly always include an impression of unreal light and shadow, a horizon line that shifts and fades, and landscapes that cannot be identified with any particular geographic location, but may evoke places as exotic as the sea floor and the surface of the moon. Central to these compositions are loosely grouped
shapes that hint at organic life forms but resist identification with any particular being. The rise of facism, threat of war, infighting amongst members of the Surrealists, and frustration over response to his work were all factors that had influence on the artist’s palette and composition in the early 1930s. However, by 1935, Tanguy had his first solo exhibition in the United States and in 1936, Alfred H. Barr acquired two paintings for the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. The increase of solo
and group exhibitions and the artist’s impending emigration to the United States might have been factors that led Tanguy to shift his palette gradually lighter and caused his biomorphic shapes to appear less menacing and more playful. The artist’s work would remain consistently abstract and populated by strange forms in disquieting, otherworldly landscapes, but the subtle shifts during the 1930s influenced by disturbing world events and personal discontent were influential and important.

(65.4 x 65.4cm) provenance: The artist. Richard Borden Freeman, Mill Valley, California (acquired directly from the above in 1949). By family descent. Sarah Freeman Evans, Kentucky. note: This lot will be accompanied by a copy of ‘Wolfgang Paalen’ by Gustav Regler, Nierendorf Editions, New York, New York, 1947. The book has been dedicated to the artist’s friend, and original owner of the painting as follows: “à Richard B. Freeman très amical hommage, Wolfgang Paalen Mexico 1947.” Andreas Neufert, Berlin, has kindly confirmed the authenticity of the work based on a photograph. $40,000-60,000
From 1920 to 1940 Wolfgang Paalen studied and painted in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Greece. In the 1930’s, he was a part of the Parisian Surrealist group led by Breton and partook in the International Surrealist Exhibition in London in 1936. With the advent of the war, many artists from the group scattered, with Paalen heading to Mexico. In 1940, he organized the International Exposition of Surrealism at the Gallery of Mexican Art, Mexico City. The same year, he also held his first one-man show in America at the Julien Levy Gallery. Paalen continued to work in Mexico City, and in 1942 founded the magazine DYN in which he publicly announced his separation from surrealism. Paalen’s writings for this magazine received international attention, and were published in Wittenborn’s “Problems of Contemporary Art” in 1947. The present work was probably painted in 1948, a pivotal and important time for the artist. By now, living in Mill Valley, California, Paalen would meet Lee Mullican and
Gordon Onslow Ford who each would show individually at the San Francisco Museum of Art. The artists together declared themselves as the ‘Dynaton’ movement in a dedicated exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Art in 1951. In his introductory essay written for the show, Paalen stated of their collective artistic ambition, “For us, a painting is beautiful, when it makes the spectator partake emotionally in the great structural rhythms, the tidal waves of form and chaos, of being and becoming, which go beyond the accidents of individual fate. Our images are not meant to shock nor to relax; they are neither objects for mere aesthetic satisfaction nor for visual experimentation. Our pictures are objects for that active meditation which does not mean detachment from human purpose, but a state of self-transcending awareness, which is not an escape from reality, because it is in intuitive participation in the formative potentialities of reality. …. Painting is the adventure into an inner space which can not be
measured by yardsticks nor lightyears. A space where thought travels faster than light, where the nearest is also the farthest, where the smallest sea-shell curves as meaningful as the galactic spiral and the eye of the mind at once beholds worlds gone and to come.” (Paalen, Wolfgang, San Francisco Museum of Art, “Dynaton,” 1951 pp. 26-7). Richard Borden Freeman, the original owner of this painting was a curator at the San Francisco Museum at the time of “Dynaton,” and became friendly with the artists over the course of their work on the exhibition. The families often socialized together, and according to his family’s recollections, Mr. Freeman traded an old Studebaker to Paalen for the painting in 1949. Mr. Freeman, who went on to chair the Art departments at the Universities of Alabama and Kentucky, treasured this painting, which bears an affectionate dedication from the artist and has remained in his family ever since.

Private Collection, New Jersey. literature: Fernando Botero and Rudy Chiappini, “Fernando Botero,” Città di Lugano: Museo d’Arte Moderna, 1997 (another form the edition illus. p. 217). $200,000-300,000
Fernando Botero’s “Centaur” immediately demands attention; its bold sexuality and sumptuous surface make it difficult to ignore. In essence, this piece does not differ from a great deal of the artist’s sculpture; Botero’s work is marked by repetition. His figures, more often than not, are fat, voluptuous and strangely serene. They are also
often playful, sexual, and funny. Although wrapped in an amorous embrace, both figures are expressionless, with no apparent emotions of joy or pleasure. In this sculpture, Botero does that which he is so skilled: he gives the perception that he is a judgment-less observer. He acts as a modern day story weaver and fable teller- drawing his
narratives from the Bible, mythology, Latin American history, and even current news stories. His figures, with their solemn faces and fleshy bodies, act as powerful, recognizable archetypes for the artist to use as a tool, exploring themes of wealth, power, sexuality, history and cultural appropriation.

107 122133/1 MAQBOOL FIDA HUSAIN (indian, 1915-2011) “PEACOCK” Signed upper right, oil on canvas 36 x 17 1/2 in. (91.4 x 44.5cm) provenance: Central Cottage Industries Emporium, Indian Cooperative Union Ltd., New Delhi. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Grimes, New York, New York (purchased directly from the above in 1962). The Estate of Paul and Miriam Grimes, New York, New York and Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. note: The original owner, Mr. Paul Grimes, was the Southeast Asian correspondent for the New York Times from 1959-1962 and was based out of New Delhi. $50,000-80,000 Blending brightly colored hues with earthy tones, this work by M.F. Husain reflects the contrasting colors of day to day life in India. Depicting several blocky heads at the bottom of the work and an organic, gestural peacock rising in the center of the work, this painting is a representative example of Husain’s experimental integration of principles of expressionism with a quasi-Cubist surface treatment of the figural busts (without actually breaking up the picture plane). Stylistically, this work is characteristic of his artistic practice in the early 1960s, following a phase in the 50s when the main subject of his work is images of a rural idyll, and preceding his engagement with narrative and India’s major epics the Mahabharata and Ramayana in the late 60s and beyond. As the peacock in the painting is monochromatic, abstract, and a bit hidden, the title calls attention to the contrast between it and the colorful range at the bottom of the painting. Husain was a founding member of Bombay’s Progressive Artists Group, founded on the cusp of independence from Britain in 1947. In the following decade, he became one of India’s leading art stars. He did so equally with his prolific paintings and charismatic, eccentric personality – for example, he was known to travel around India in impeccably tailored suits, but barefoot. One of his most celebrated
artistic achievements is a blending of folk and modern (especially Cubist) traditions, but his engagement and experimentation with expressionism alongside other modern idioms has gotten less critical attention. This dimension is especially interesting because it was a major trend among several others of India’s leading artists, and it became an important marker of modernism in Indian art of the 1950s and 60s, especially among artists who were focused intellectually on existentialism. There were few commercial galleries in India in the late 50s and early 60s. In spite of this, Husain’s work was exhibited widely all over India, and by the early 1960s even in Europe and the United States. Kumar Gallery was established in New Delhi in the 1950s, and they
held a solo show of Husain’s work in 1961. The bill of sale marking the provenance of this painting from Central Cottage Industries Emporium (CCIE) is historically interesting and rare. Established by the Government of India in 1948, the mission of CCIE is to preserve and share Indian craftsmanship. Its largest and central branch remains the New Delhi location where this work was sold. At this early date, CCIE also showed and sold artworks, and this work could have been consigned directly through the artist or passed through Kumar Gallery. We are grateful to Beth Citron for contributing this note. Ms. Citron is a New York based art historian and critic who completed her dissertation on Contemporary Art in Bombay 1965-1995.

all property offered and sold (“property”) through samuel t. freeman & co, (“freeman’s”) shall be offered and sold on the terms and conditions set forth below which constitutes the complete statement of the terms and conditions on which all property is offered for sale. by bidding at the auction, whether present in person or by agent, by written bid, telephone, internet or other means, the buyer agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions. 1 Unless otherwise indicated, all Property will be offered by Freeman’s as agent for the Consignor. 2 Freeman’s reserves the right to vary the terms of sale and any such variance shall become part of these Conditions of Sale. 3 Buyer acknowledges that it had the right to make a full inspection of all Property prior to sale to determine the condition, size, repair or restoration of any Property. Therefore, all property is sold “ASIS”. Freeman’s is acting solely as an auction broker, and unless otherwise stated, does not own the Property offered for sale and has made no independent investigation of the Property. Freeman’s makes no warranty of title, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, or any other warranty or representation regarding the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition to the Property of any kind or nature with respect to the Property. 4 Freeman’s in its sole and exclusive discretion, reserves the right to withdraw any property, at any time, before the fall of the hammer. 5 Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the printed catalogue. Freeman’s reserves the right to determine any and all matters regarding the order, precedence or appropriate increment of bids or the constitution of lots. 6 The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid, to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion and in the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re- offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after sale, the Freeman’s sale record shall be conclusive in all respects. 7 If the auctioneer determines that any opening or later bid or any advance bid is not commensurate with the value of the Property offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the Property from sale.
8 Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any offered lot or article will immediately pass to the highest bidder as determined in the exclusive discretion of the auctioneer, subject to compliance by the buyer with these Conditions of Sale. Buyer thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility of the property sold, agrees to sign any requested confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full price, plus Buyer’s Premium, therefore or such part, upon such terms as Freeman’s may require. 9 No lot may be removed from Freeman’s premises until the buyer has paid in full the purchase price therefor including Buyer’s Premium or has satisfied such terms that Freeman’s, in its sole discretion, shall require. Subject to the foregoing, all Property shall be paid for and removed by the buyer at his/her expense within ten (10) days of sale and, if not so removed, may be sold by Freeman’s, or sent by Freeman’s to a public warehouse, at the sole risk and charge of the buyer(s), and Freeman’s may prohibit the buyer from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or buyer in any future sale or sales. In addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s by law, Freeman’s reserves the right to impose a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price on any balance remaining ten (10) days after the day of sale. If Property is not removed by the buyer within ten (10) days, a handling charge of 1% of the total purchase price per month from the tenth day after the sale until removal by the buyer shall be payable to Freeman’s by the buyer; Freeman’s shall charge 1.5% of the total purchase price per month for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale. Freeman’s will not be responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or otherwise responsible for any goods left in Freeman’s possession after ten (10) days. If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of law are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the buyer(s) liable for the bid price) Freeman’s, at its option, may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the buyer(s), or resell the property. In such event, the buyer(s) shall remain liable for any deficiency in the original purchase price and
will also be responsible for all costs, including warehousing, the expense of the ultimate sale, and Freeman’s commission at its regular rates together with all related and incidental charges, including legal fees. Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by Freeman’s. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. Any exceptions must be made upon Freeman’s written approval of credit prior to sale. In addition, a defaulting buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Freeman’s, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of, or owing to such buyer in Freeman’s possession, and Freeman’s may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to due to Freeman’s. Freeman’s shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code.
Premium shall be: 25% on the first $50,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $50,001 through $1,000,000, and 12% thereafter.
10 Unless the sale is advertised and announced as “without reserve”, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Freeman’s may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignors. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where Freeman’s or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to Freeman’s, Freeman’s may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds therefrom, other than the broker’s Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest.
16 In no event shall any liability of Freeman’s to the buyer exceed the purchase price actually paid.
11 No “buy” bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. 12 Any pre-sale bids must be submitted in writing to Freeman’s prior to commencement of the offer of the first lot of any sale. Freeman’s copy of any such bid shall conclusively be deemed to be the sole evidence of same, and while Freeman’s accepts these bids for the convenience of bidders not present at the auction, Freeman’s shall not be responsible for the failure to execute, or, to execute properly, any pre-sale bid. 13 A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price. The Buyer’s
14 Unless exempted by law from the payment thereof, the buyer will be required to pay any and all federal excise tax and any state and/or local sales taxes, including where deliveries are to be made outside the state where a sale is conducted, which may be subject to a corresponding or compensating tax in another state. 15 Freeman’s may, as a service to buyer arrange to have purchased property posted and shipped at the buyer’s expense.

No course of dealing and no delay or omission on the part of Freeman’s in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right and waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy of Freeman’s on any future occasion. 18 These Conditions of Sale and the buyer’s, the Consignor’s and Freeman’s rights under these Conditions of Sale shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Consignor and Buyer agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
