A. M. Whistler’s “Symphony in Flesh Color and Pink, Portrait of Mrs. Frances Leyland” (Frick Collection, New York), is part of the extensive series of works by Joon-Sung exploring the contrast between wellknown European paintings of the Belle Epoque, and their re-imagination with Asian female nudes, presented in such a way that the subject’s nudity is revealed only through the movement or actions of the audience. In this particular work, the reflection of the nude in the cheval glass, and oversize masks of male characters from the Beijing opera on the walls of the space the nude occupies, raises further questions on the nature of reality, of reflection and “truth”, as well as the role of the observer, and the nature of shims or clothing separating the viewer from the viewed.

Such materials may require specific licenses, certificates, or CITES documentation for import, export, moving between states in the U.S., or resale.

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.
