THE JEFFREY M. KAPLAN COLLECTION

effrey M. Kaplan is the definition of a true renaissance man; Kaplan’s remarkable taste is coupled with an insatiable curiosity regarding all things cultural. While many collectors choose to focus only on one area of collecting, Jeffrey Kaplan’s life and experiences have led him to work with many. He acquired the works of artists in depth and aspired to create a collection of collections: Chinese ceramics, 20th century design, European furniture & decorative arts, Art Glass of the 19th-21st centuries, American modernist works on paper as well as European prints. This passion for collecting has allowed Jeffrey Kaplan to assemble an astonishing body of works in many media, that spans 1,000 years. Jeffrey Kaplan was raised in an artistic and cultured family. He graduated from the University of Michigan where he studied Art History and English literature before attending Yale Law School. He began collecting in earnest in his thirties, and was intensely involved in the cataloguing, physical care, and presentation of his collection. Transcending the role of collector, Jeffrey Kaplan has served as his own curator: hanging, re hanging, and even acquiring adjunct spaces in order to live with his entire collection within his residence. It is rare for an auction house to have the opportunity to offer a collection of such breadth, quality, and diversity that it justifies a title such as One Thousand Years of Collecting, but in this sale of over 500 works of fine and decorative arts carefully acquired by Jeffrey Kaplan, the title is more than justified. It is with the greatest pleasure that Freeman’s presents One Thousand Years of Collecting; The Jeffrey M. Kaplan Collection at auction.

GIOVANNI BATTISTA PIRANESI

orn in Venice in 1720 and educated as an architect, Giovanni Battista Piranesi left for Rome in 1740 where he studied etching under Giuseppe Vasi, achieving his own success

producing a constant series of etchings illustrating the architecture & antiquities of Rome & its environs. Known as much for his artistic diligence as for his impetuous & quarrelsome nature, Piranesi, more than any other figure, was responsible for forming the image held of Rome’s architectural antiquities for educated Europeans outside of Italy. The subjects of the Vedute di Roma, although accurate in every detail, are each presented from entirely imaginary, although idealized, perspectives. Goethe, in his Italian Journey of 1786-1788, found something lacking in the grandure of Rome’s actual antiquities compared to the expectation raised in him by Piranesi’s ultimately romantic vision. The Carceri, or Prison series, are entirely fantastic creations of an emerging romantic imagination, leading, as the art critic Kenneth Clark postulated, to the abstract intimations and terrors of the 20th-century.

him one of the premier American artists of the 20th century. He was also a remarkable draftsman whose artistic career began as an academic realist. His drawing and printmaking talents are on display in many of the lots in this sale, including ‘San Rocco,’ ‘Two Studies of a Head’ and ‘Woman in Window’ (lot 180, 181, 189). Stella was an important figure in early 20th century New York City art circles. Amongst the artworld luminaries and fellow artists with whom he associated are Gertrude Stein — whose salon he attended, Alfred Steiglitz and Walter Arensberg, along with Gino Severini, Umberto Boccioni, Marcel Duchamp and Albert Gleizes. Importantly, Stella was also a noted contributor to the seminal 1913 Armory Show, with his much heralded contribution ‘Battle of Lights, Coney Island’ which was said to beget…”a general sensation, an artistic upheaval as sudden and unexpected as it was universal (in avant-garde circles).”

of Europe after Napoleonic devastation and signaled the beginning of a fragile

pan-European peace that lasted for decades. Beginning in Vienna, a new style was born reflecting the aspirations of this blessedly quiet period. The term Biedermeier first appeared as a nom de plume, “Gottlieb Biedermeier,” which was used by the authors of series of poems published in the Munich journal “Fliegende Blätter.” One of the poems, Biedermanns Abendgemütlichkeit (Biedermann’s Evening Comfort) parodied the obsession of the people of the period for cozy bourgeois comfort, and it ultimately became the term by which the whole period is now known. Throughout the Austro-Hungarian empire and the German princely states, neoclassical furniture forms were stripped down to their most basic sculptural elements. These new, highly functional and architectural pieces of furniture were veneered in warm local and imported woods, relying only on their form and quality to express solidity and comfort. This new utterly domestic scale, designed for quiet socialization and family comfort, caught fire in central Europe, and clearly impressed Kaplan, with his eye for line and sculptural form.

REVIVAL STYLES AND THE XIX CENTURY lots 339-379

rom the end of the French Empire, artisans began to look back at the pre-Napoleonic periods of furniture-

making and the decorative arts. They did so with a romantic nostalgia and a longing for the perceived quiet stability and solid national identities that existed before the French revolution and European domination by Bonaparte. As a result, the nineteenth century became a crucible of design revivals. Mining the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo periods for visual reference, designers allowed a newly empowered haute bourgeoisie to purchase pieces that emphasized their taste, national identity, and growing power as consumers.

ARCHIBALD KNOX (BRITISH, 1864-1933) lots 419-448

ith a life and career straddling the 19th and 20th centuries, designer Archibald Knox helped give the Art Nouveau style in Britain its distinctive look and timeless appeal.

Knox came of age in the shadow of Britain’s art reform movement and influenced by the luminaries William Morris and later, M.H. Baillie Scott. As early as 1897, Knox began designing jewelry and metalwares for the London retailer Liberty & Company, whose range of artistic home and giftwares catered to aesthetically-minded consumers in Britain and abroad. Much of Liberty’s “Cymric” and “Tudric” lines were designed by Knox, and exhibit his penchant for Celtic ornament, raised slightly from the body of the object and rounded, elongated, and tapered in service of the elegant, organic lines of the Art Nouveau style, then at its height in popularity in the early 1900s. Some designs were customized by Liberty with the addition of enameling, adding jewel tones in rich contrast to the grey pewter.

ALBERT PALEY, (AMERICAN, B. 1944) lots 449-454

orking in upstate New York, Albert Paley is widely regarded as one of the great metalsmiths of our time. Paley began his career as a student in Philadelphia at

the Tyler School of Art. Upon graduating, Paley focused mainly on the creation of jewelry, worked in precious metals. In 1973 he was commissioned by the Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C. to create his now famous “Portal Gates” in wrought iron and brass. The event marked a turn in Paley’s career to large-scale, architectural commissions and sculpture worked in iron. Paley’s creations are the product of his own mind, echoing the duality of our natural and machine-made worlds. His remarkably complex treatment of iron is masked by fluid, undulating forms that more closely resemble pulled taffy than coarse steel. Paley had created several noted large-scale public and private commissions and his work is housed in over 100 museums world-wide. He is the recipient of the American Institute of Architect’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

century, that has been described as secretive. Italian-born Lino Tagliapietra trained in the glass workshops of Murano before coming to teach in the United States following a visit by the American glass artist Dale Chihuly. Dale Chihuly came of age in the 1960s, studying glass blowing with Harvey Littleton. In the early 1970s, Chuihuly co-founded the Pilchuck Glass School and was largely responsible for jumpstarting the studio glass movement in the US. Today, cooperation between Muranese glass artists and others has contributed to a global pool of talent that borrow both technique and cultural influences from one another. The work of Charles Savoie and Kyohei Fujita borrow from, but reinterpret the Venetian tradition in their vessels. 458 Cliff Lee (American, b. 1951) knife-edged and fluted celadon-glazed porcelain bowl on pedestal, 1996 In two pieces The bowl signed and dated: “Cliff Lee 96” H: 9, Dia: 8 in. provenance: The artist, 1997.

Freeman’s shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code. 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.

The auctioneer will not mistake a random gesture for a bid. By phone A limited number of telephone lines are available for bidding by phone through a Freeman’s representative. Phone lines must be reserved in advance. Requests must be submitted no later than 24 hours prior to the scheduled start of the sale.

Endangered Species Lots marked * are manufactured in whole or in part of restricted materials that may include tortoiseshell, ivory, mother-ofpearl, coral, rhinoceros horn, whalebone or marine ivory. Such materials may require specific licenses, certificates, or CITES documentation for import, export, moving between states in the U.S., or resale.
