17 PABLO PICASSO (spanish, 1881-1973) “PICASSO THEATRE” Signed, dated ‘le 10.11.67’ and dedicated ‘pour mon cher ami Feld,’ center and titled right. India ink, wash and chalk on paper. 11 11/16 x 21 1/4 in. (29.7 x 54cm) provenance: Sotheby’s, New York, “Impressionist and Modern Art, Part II,” November 9, 1995, lot 378. Private Collection, Massachusetts (acquired directly from the above sale). note: This lot is accompanied by a photo-certificate from Claude Picasso, dated 10 Octobre 2016. $150,000-250,000 At the early part of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso collaborated with the Ballets Russes founder Sergei Diaghilev and choreographer Leonide Massine, lending his Cubist vision to the design of costumes, stage sets, and curtains for innovative productions that include Parade, Le Tricorne, and Pulcinella. Between 1917 and 1924—what have come to be known as his “Theater Years”— Picasso traveled from Paris to Barcelona, London, and Rome with Diaghilev, immersing himself fully in the world of the famous ballet company, even marrying dancer Olga Khokhlova in 1918. Picasso’s long fascination with the theater and performers was not just limited to the ballet. His 1904 painting, The Actor, and the larger, Family of Saltimbanques from 1905, focus on the curious, though often bleak, world of circus performers. Picasso drew inspiration from the Cirque Medrano, a famous establishment in the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris where he lived and worked. His lifelong experimentation with the human
form found new media in his creations of ballet costumes and stage designs that, in turn, allowed Picasso to channel new perspectives and creativity into his later works.
Picasso Theatre is a draft of the final design that illustrated the clothbound cover of the first edition book of the same name, originally published in 1968. A second printing in 1987 used a different cover design, and did not include a clear acetate cover wrap emblazoned with the title. The book, prepared by British art historian Douglas Cooper and dedicated to the artist, is a collection of images of Picasso’s lesser-known works for the theater, specifically the ballet, as well as an essay on the significant influence the theater had on the artist’s oeuvre. An exhibition of items from Picasso’s theater years was staged at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice in 1998, and several pieces, including the curtain from the 1924 ballet, Mercure, are in the collection of the Centre Pompidou in Paris. According to the Picasso Authentification
Committee, also in Paris, which provided authentication for Picasso Theatre, other drafts the artist created for the cover are held in the collection of the Musee d’art et d’histoire de Saint-Denis. An India ink, wash and chalk work on paper, Picasso Theatre is signed, dated, and dedicated on what the artist intended to be the spine of the book—the center strip that separates two haunting and expressive drawings.

35 WILLIAM BARNET (american, 1918-1992) “PROVINCE BY THE SEA” Signed bottom right, inscribed with artist’s name and title verso, oil on canvas. Executed in 1957. 54 x 46 in. (137.2 x 116.8cm) provenance: The Artist. Mr. & Mrs. Peter Campbell, New York. By family descent. Private Collection, Gloucester, Massachusetts. exhibited: “Will Barnet,” Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, August 19 - September 17, 1961, no. 28. $10,000-15,000
Though he is best known for his highly stylized figurative paintings, William Barnet created works of diverse and evolving style throughout his long career. After having worked under the auspices of the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s, Barnet moved toward abstraction in the 1940s and 1950s. However, he did not align himself with the Abstract Expressionists whose presence loomed large in New York during this time, and whose paintings were boldly
gestural and individualistic. Rather, Barnet was among the Indian Space painters, a group of artists who found inspiration in North American tribal motifs and symbols. Drawn to the rhythms of these forms, the artists presented them in flattened spaces populated with organic geometries and lyrical patterns. Province by the Sea, which bears a striking resemblance to a 1959 woodcut by the artist of the same name, is an excellent example of the Indian Space aesthetic and Barnet’s
work of this time. Though by the 1960s, the artist had turned his attention toward the figurative work for which he is predominantly identified, he returned again to abstraction in the latter years of his life, revealing his continued interest in artistic exploration and discovery.

Hailed as “The New Wizard of Op Art” by Life Magazine in 1964, Anuszkiewicz was an original founder and early proponent of the movement. Indeed, just one year later, the artist won international recognition through his participation in the 1965 survey of Optical Art, “The Responsive Eye” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Though the fast-changing art world quickly moved beyond the Op Art movement in years to follow, Anuszkiewicz refused to abandon his vision of color. As a consequence, he emerged as one of the foremost colorists in the world. “I really love color,” he said. “I try to manipulate it in schemes that give
the viewer a particular feeling of enchantment. If you want to call it emotion, that’s fine.” [1] A student of Josef Albers at Yale, Anuszkiewicz was inspired by his teacher’s formulated color interactions, yet he expounded upon them by applying his own visual perception theories, adding line and field in order to create space through color. The result was a new pictorial space only hinted at by Albers. Anuszkiewicz saw himself also as an heir to the Impressionistic color tradition, and sought to continue this aesthetic. His experimentation with color and formal/geometric structures can be seen as an abstract version of the
Impressionists’ experimentation with light and color. “My work is of an experimental nature and has centered on an investigation into the effects of complementary color of full intensity when juxtaposed and the optical changes that occur as a result, and a study of the dynamic effect of the whole under changing conditions of light, and the effect of light on color.” [2] [1] The artist, as quoted in a press release for the exhibition “Richard Anuszkiewicz: Paintings and Constructions: 1986 – 1991” held at the ACA Galleries, New York in 1991.

C3S (another cast illustrated). $400,000-600,000
With a boldly distinctive style and an iconic visual language, Lynn Chadwick is one of the twentiethcentury’s most celebrated and important British sculptors. His career began on an illustrious note when, only six years after his first solo exhibition at Gimpel Fils Gallery in 1950, he was awarded the prestigious International Sculpture Prize at the XXVII Venice Biennale in 1956. Only 42 years old at the time, Chadwick was the youngest sculptor ever to receive the honor. His victory caused quite a sensation and brought significant attention to Chadwick, cementing his reputation as a master of Modern British sculpture. The decades that followed saw Chadwick experimenting with different media and evolving themes. Maquette Jubilee II is an excellent example of the artist’s mature work. The multi-figure composition displays many elements of Chadwick’s unique visual language. Utilizing his own pictorial code, he assigns the female
figure a triangular head and the male figure a rectangular one. The artist seemingly draws in metal, creating figures whose sharp angles and powerful volumes activate and engage the space around them, as if the artist not only cast the bronze but also carved the space around it. This sense of dynamism and movement was critically important to Chadwick and, as Dennis Farr notes in the 2003 Tate Modern exhibition catalogue, “Walking Figures, their cloaks or robes blowing out behind them provided Chadwick with a theme capable of sustaining endless variations, of which Maquette Jubilee II is a particularly dramatic example.” Indeed, the sense of motion in Maquette Jubilee II is unmistakable. The figures in Maquette Jubilee II stride forward with a purposeful energy, their wind-blown robes in the shapes of “elaborate butterflywing[s]…supporting them…but…imbued with a baroque exuberance that transcends the merely practical.” [1]
The present piece relates to several Chadwick editioned sculptures of similar subject and style, including 1985’s “Jubilee IV” and 1977’s “Pair of Walking Figures – Jubilee,” examples of which can be found at Le Parc du Château, Saint-Priest in Lyon, France, and at the Museo Tamayo in Mexico City.

Property from the Estate of David Adamany (1936-2016) lots 54-90 The following 41 lots come from the estate of distinguished scholar, administrator, civil rights advocate and Philadelphia resident, David W. Adamany. Adamany served as Chief Executive Officer of the Detroit Public Schools between 1999-2000 before becoming the eighth president of Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Under his leadership Temple’s enrollment grew by 17 percent, added many tenured positions, improved its diversity, and doubled the institution’s net assets. He was a stalwart supporter of equal education and urban renewal, having told the Detroit Free Press, “I firmly believe that cities will not have a full revitalization until they strengthen their school systems.” David W. Adamany was also widely recognized as a community leader and civil rights advocate. He was a longtime member of the American Civil Liberties Union and, as a proud gay man, a strong supporter of equal rights for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Trans communities. In 1997, he was awarded the Martin Luther King Jr. Award from Detroit’s Plymouth United Church of Christ, which is presented “to persons, churches or organizations that... exemplify best the legacy of Dr. King.” Adamany’s Philadelphia residence was filled with prints by iconic artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, and he took great pleasure in educating friends and family about the works he compiled over his lifetime. Many of the objects presented here reflect his values – included herein are works by important African American artists, politically inspired Mexican artists and prints sold to benefit causes Adamany supported.

An eighth generation Virginian, Robert Gwathmey is perhaps best known for his dignified depictions of African Americans in the South. Typically rendered in flat blocks of color which in turn are neatly outlined in black, his works often suggest the tension between social injustice and personal dignity in a straightforward two-dimensional scheme. Gwathmey received his artistic training at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts where he studied
under Pennsylvania Impressionist, Daniel Garber. In 1944, Gwathmey received a Rosenwald Foundation fellowship and spent the summer living and working with sharecroppers on a tobacco farm near Rocky Mount, North Carolina. The present works are likely inspired by this period, and like Mexican Muralists Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, show Gwathmey’s inherent respect for his subject.

A regular of Andy Warhol’s Factory, Al Hansen was greatly influenced by the Pop Art movement of the 60’s and is perhaps best known for his candy wrapper collages and performance art. He was an early member of the experimental “Fluxus” movement, an inclusive and decidedly non-structured aesthetic of artmaking. Out of this spirit, “Happenings,” event-oriented art making was born. One such influential performance occurred when Hansen dropped a piano off of a five story, bombed-out building while serving in Germany during World War II. This act later became known as ‘Yoko Ono Piano Drop” (after his friend and fellow Fluxus artist) and was later performed throughout New York many times. Hansen’s use of readily available materials like plywood and food wrappers also speaks directly to the democratic ideas of the Fluxus artist, while the repetition and alteration of the unmistakeable Hershey logo echoes the influence of Pop Art.

Registration information may be submitted in person at our reception desk, by fax or through our website at www.freemansauction.com. We will require proof of identification and residence and may require a credit card and/or a bank reference. By registering for the sale, the buyer acknowledges that he or she has read, understood and accepted Freeman’s Terms and Conditions of Sale.

The Buyer’s Premium shall be: 25% on the first $200,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $200,001 through $3,000,000, and 12% thereafter. Sales Tax All items in the catalogue are subject to the 8% Pennsylvania and Philadelphia sales tax. Dealers purchasing for resale must register their tax numbers on current PA forms. Forms should be submitted to our Client Services office on the second floor. Catalogue Descriptions All item descriptions, dimensions and estimates are provided for guidance only. It is the buyer’s responsibility to inspect all lots prior to bidding to ensure that the condition is to their satisfaction. If potential buyers are unable to inspect lots in person, our specialists will be happy to prepare detailed Condition Reports on individual lots as quickly as possible. These are for guidance only, and all lots will be sold “as is” as per our Terms and Conditions of Sale. Bidding At the sale Registered bidders will be assigned a bidder number and given a paddle for use at the sale. Once the first bid has been placed, the auctioneer asks for higher bids in increments determined by the auctioneer. To place your bid, simply raise your paddle until the auctioneer acknowledges you. 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. In writing Bid forms are available in the sale room and at the back of the catalogue. These should be submitted in person, by mail or by fax no later than one hour prior to the scheduled start of the sale. The auctioneer will bid on your behalf up to the limit. On the internet A fully-illustrated catalogue is available on-line at www.freemansauction.com. Registered bidders may leave absentee bids through the website and will receive email confirmation of their bid. Freeman’s is not responsible for errors or failure to execute bids. Payment Payment is due within ten (10) working days of the sale. Lots purchased will not be released until we have received full payment. Payment may be made in cash, by check, money order, or debit card. Payments by check must clear the bank before goods will be released. Removal of Purchases Deliveries will not be made during the time of the sale unless otherwise indicated by the auctioneer. All items must be paid for and removed within ten (10) working days of the sale. Purchases not so removed may be turned over to a licensed warehouse at the expense and risk of the purchaser. Shipping and Packing Responsibility for packing, shipping and insurance shall be exclusively that of the purchaser. Upon request, Freeman’s will provide the purchaser with names of professional packers and shippers known to us. Endangered Species Lots marked * are manufactured in whole or in part of restricted materials that may include tortoiseshell, ivory, mother-of-pearl, 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. Obtaining these documents may require scientific, laboratory or other expert analysis, in order to establish which species or genus the material came from. Freeman’s is unable to provide this information, and the obligation is on the purchaser of a lot containing any of these materials to ensure that they are able to obtain all the necessary or required documents should they need to, prior to bidding on the lot. If proper documentation or licenses etc. cannot be obtained for a purchased lot, the purchaser will still be required to make an on time payment for the lot as per our standard terms and conditions. Freeman’s cataloguing of the lots marked with this symbol * represents the best of our opinion, and the absence of this symbol from any lot description does not form a warranty that the lot will be free from any licensing or certification restrictions.

TERMS & CONDITIONS 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 Freeman’s. 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. 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. 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 Premium shall be: 25% on the first $200,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $200,001 through $3,000,000, and 12% thereafter. 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. Freeman’s is not responsible for any acts or omissions in packing or shipping of purchased lots whether or not such carrier is recommended by Freeman’s. Packing and handling of purchased lots is at the responsibility of the buyer and is at the entire risk of the buyer. 16 In no event shall any liability of Freeman’s to the buyer exceed the purchase price actually paid. 17 No claimed modification or amendment of this Agreement on the part of any party shall be deemed extant, enforceable or provable unless it is in writing that has been signed by the parties to this Agreement. 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.
