Salvador Dalí created this poster design around 1949 for Don Juan Tenorio, a play written in 1844 by José Zorilla and staged in 1949 by director Luis Escobar. Dalí was commissioned to design backdrops and costumes for the production at the María Guerrero National Theatre Company. Zorilla’s play is a re-telling of the story of the legendary libertine, Don Juan. The wealthy Don Juan was said to have seduced thousands of women while living a violent lifestyle punctuated by murder and gambling. In Zorilla’s play, Don Juan is eventually spared eternal damnation after asking for a divine pardon for his many sins. Dalí’s aesthetic fit perfectly with Zorilla’s writing style, which is dreamlike, surreal and features a strange, uneven pace and nonsensical verse forms. For the stage sets, Dalí utilized giant papier-mâché faces, animals and oversized insects.

Freeman’s is pleased to offer here selected works by top Australian artists from the distinguished collection of Domini Morrell. Domini grew up in Perth, Australia and as a young adult moved to Paddington, then known as the artistic center of Sydney. While living there, she befriended many artists of the day. She later met Sydney "Bill" Morrell, a foreign correspondent for the London Daily Express in Vienna, Prague, Budapest and the Middle East. The two married and began to collect Australian art in the late 1940’s after World War II. Following the war, the couple moved to New York but returned frequently to Sydney, Australia for Bill's work. In 1965 they reconnected with Sydney based art dealer Rudy Komon, a former war journalist from Czechoslovakia who had assisted Bill as a local correspondent in Vienna. The collection took shape under Rudy’s advice, and eventually included works by Robert Juniper, John Bell, Charles Blackman and Robert Dickerson among others. Selected works from the esteemed collection are offered here in lots 70 to 73.

David Park’s Untitled is one of a small number of paintings to have survived from an important transitional time for the artist who is known as one of the founding fathers of the Bay Area Figurative Art movement. An instructor at the California School of Fine Art in the late 1940s and 1950s alongside Elmer Bischoff and Richard Diebenkorn, David Park worked for a short time with the idea of ‘non-objective’ painting as a means of enjoying the act of painting and ‘looking for an image’. An echo of the abstract expressionist movement that was gathering momentum in New York (as well as with rival instructors at CSFA like Clyfford Still and Mark Rothko), the abstract works Park was executing from late 1946-1948 are bracketed by years when his painting was grounded first with two dimensional portraits in the style of Picasso, and later, by bold, subjective works of the Bay Area Figurative Movement. As Nancy Boas notes in her biography, ‘David Park,’ the artist’s work during the transitional time of 1946-1948 seems to strive for abstraction, and yet still seems to hold echoes of subjects. The striped upper area of this work appears in several other works of these years and provide a structural, compositional foundation. Similarly, the white and orange forms at center seem to evoke flowers or birds which hover around an area of rich verdant greens, browns and ochres. Certainly, the rich, lavishly applied paint shows the artist’s love of process and his medium, and foreshadow the purposeful, colorful, figurative compositions that later offered a brave alternative to the abstract expressionist works of the 1950s.

The late 1930s and early 1940s were years of dynamic growth for artist Richard Pousette-Dart. Influenced by the Vorticist sculpture of Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, he created a lexicon of biomorphic and totemic forms that would provide rich visual and symbolic sources for early paintings, and continued to enrich his extended painted repertoire. Deeply interested in the spiritual possibilities of painting (“the dynamic balance, or edge between the conscious and unconscious”) he read Jung, Freud, the Transcendentalists, and Eastern religious texts, as he simultaneously encountered works by European cubists and surrealists being exhibited in New York. Also paramount to the development of Pousette-Dart’s artistic vision was African, Oceanic and Native American primitivism. The first one-man exhibition of Richard Pousette-Dart’s paintings occurred at the Artists’ Gallery in New York in the fall of 1941. The following year he completed Symphony Number 1, The Transcendental (Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art), regarded today as one of the first mural-size canvases of the Abstract Expressionist movement. The present work, “Cathedral,” painted in 1944, is another confident, vibrant example of this important early period, featuring a heavily layered canvas bursting with the colorful forms and shapes that were echoed in the work of fellow New York artists like Gorky and Pollock. In this painting the architectural elements of a cathedral, such as the spire and circular stained glass windows, are defined by insistent outlines and vibrating, bright colors. Richard Pousette-Dart’s place in the story of twentieth century abstraction is well-secured. Major retrospectives of his art have been held in New York at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy, and in 1997-8 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We are grateful to the Estate of Richard Pousette-Dart for contributing portions of this note.

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.

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.
