Organisers’ Welcome We are delighted to welcome you to the 23rd International Fine Art & Antique Dealers Show.
Considered the top international fair in America, The International Fine Art & Antique Dealers Show attracts a superlative roster of exhibitors, drawn from among the most prestigious and knowledgeable art and antique dealers in the United States and Europe. The fair takes place each year in October at the start of the Fall art, antiques and social season in New York City and offers a second-to-none selection of works of art.
Visitors to The International Fine Art & Antique Dealers Show are privileged to be able to view and buy from among the most important and rarest works of art currently available. The range on offer at the fair is enormously diverse, spanning continents and millennia, cultures, materials, periods and styles and from antiquities to contemporary.
Over the last 23 years, The International Fine Art & Antique Dealers Show has evolved into more than just a marketplace for high-end art and antiques. We are delighted that it provides a valuable international meeting ground for a global community of collectors, curators, dealers and interior designers. For the public and the trade, it has come to serve as an essential forum —- an exciting blend of culture and commerce through which we hope to energize future generations of collectors and art lovers.
Every object exhibited at the Fair is rigorously examined and vetted for quality and authenticity, by our honorary vetting committee so collectors can be assured they can buy with absolute confidence. The honorary vetting committees are made up of advisers, museum curators and dealers. We are extremely grateful to the committee members for giving so freely of their knowledge, expertise and time and in particular our Honorary Vetting Committee Chairman, Edward Munves.
Finally, we look forward to seeing you here again next October to celebrate the 2012 International Fine Art and
Antique Dealers Show, which will take place 19 – 25 October 2012

The Vetting of a Fine Art and Antiques Fair What it is and why?
It has long been standard practice at all major international fine art and antique fairs, for all exhibits to be examined before the opening of the fair by panels of advisers, to ensure that they are accurately described and of a quality to justify their exhibition at a prestige event.
There are separate Honorary Vetting Committees for each category, such as furniture, clocks, silver, paintings, sculpture etc., and their membership is drawn from leading authorities in the field and includes many museum curators.
There are two main reasons for vetting.
Firstly, to reassure the public that everything submitted to the Honorary Vetting Committees conforms to the regulations laid down and that, as far as possible, all items are authentic and of the period stated. As potential purchasers may not have sufficient expertise themselves in a particular subject or category, this assurance of authenticity will, we hope, give them the confidence to buy.
Secondly, vetting guarantees to all the exhibitors and to the public that standards are being maintained at a high level. It is crucial to the commercial and academic success of such an event that its reputation for only having the best in all categories is never compromised. The integrity of the fair and the reputation of the exhibitors is therefore ensured.
Our thanks to all the members of the Honorary Vetting Committees for their help and co-operation.

Central Europe 1700-1800 within the Wrightsman Galleries (fig.1). German sculpture entered the collection haphazardly alongside groups of decorative arts. Together with Judge Untermyer’s German ceramics, English decorative art, and Italian Renaissance bronzes came a group of northern European bronzes. The Linskys’s gift included many ivory and boxwood carvings, a distinctive German tradition. Yet overall, the collection lacked examples by many of the foremost German sculptors active from the end of the seventeenth through the eighteenth century; recently, efforts have been made to address this shortfall. When the Bavarian-born sculptor Balthasar Permoser (16511732) returned to Germany in 1690 following fifteen years of study and work in Italy, he became one of the most celebrated German Baroque sculptors. Beginning in 1712, in collaboration with the architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann, he carved exuberant exterior sculpture at the Zwinger palace in Dresden. His colossal atlantids and other architectural ornaments supporting the

confrontation with Bernini’s masterpiece. One of the best Bavarian Rococo artists, Ignaz Günther (17251775), is known for his painted wooden saints soaring above church altars. Like many northern sculptors, he often turned to wood instead of the more common clay or wax, when he wished to try out initial ideas for a lifesize statue. His small linden-wood model for the so-called Female Saint of Starnberg (fig.3), was whittled about 1755, shortly after the artist settled in Munich. The figure swivels her head and right leg to her left, while her torso and arms twist in the opposite direction. A scarf falling from the back of her head and the swinging pleats of her robe accentuate the flurry of movement. While the statuette’s overall form has a cubistic massing, Günther chiselled some passages of surprising delicacy.

The saint’s right hand is a blocky form and her right leg is rendered simply as two planes. But small shavings taken from her shoulder animate the surface, and the facets that describe locks of hair and the face resolve from a distance into clearly discernible features. Like the abbreviations of a pen and ink drawing on paper, the flicks of the chisel create an abstract impression of form.

Two wooden models for the Female Saint of Starnberg are known. The other one (Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, Munich) is slightly more schematic; comparison of the two clarifies the evolution of Günther’s creative process as he developed the statue’s form and composition. In the final work (Stadtisches Heimatmuseum, Starnberg), the sculptor created a more ethereal body and emphasized the saint’s upward motion. The original context of the Starnberg statue is unknown, but the saint must have formed part of an altarpiece, as did so many of Günther’s works, and there the rhythm of the pose responded to the movements of the other holy figures. One of the most intriguing, if enigmatic, sculptors from the Germanic region was Franz Xaver Messerschmidt (1736-1783). In a rather florid late Baroque style, he created statues and busts of the Emperor and Empress as well as other members of the Imperial Court in Vienna in the 1760s. A 1765 trip to Rome swayed him to the nascent Neoclassical style. In the early 1770s, he was denied a prestigious position as professor at the Austrian academy of fine arts; this misfortune aggravated by what may have been a mental breakdown, precipitated his departure from the capital. He sought work in Munich but eventually settled in Pressburg (now Bratislava), where he remained until his death. There he concentrated on an obsessive project, a series of character heads, completing about seventy of them in unique softmetal casts or in alabaster. These studies, some clearly selfportraits, others indirectly so, ranged from straightforward

On his return to France Bidauld travelled extensively exhibiting regularly at the Paris Salon where he won the gold medal in 1812. He enjoyed official patronage under Louis XVIII painting two large works on subjects from French history for the Galerie de Diane in Fontainbleau. Bidauld is an important transitional figure as his direct painting of the countryside, often en plein air, anticipates Corot and the subsequent development of pure landscape painting.
Jean Josephe Xavier Bidauld (1758-1846) Extensive Landscape with Deer Canvas, unlined, 14½ x 19 inches (37.2 x 49.3 cm) Signed and dated 1827 Bidauld was a pupil of Joseph Vernet before he moved to Rome in 1785. He stayed in Italy for five years where he is associated with French neo-classical painters such as Louis Gauffier, Nicolas Antoine Taunay and Guillaume Lethiére.
This picture was painted in 1827, when Bidauld is known to have been working in the Vaucluse. It is also the year of his son’s wedding to Justine-Sophie de Gaulle, great aunt of the future General de Gaulle.

New Testament, in Latin Illuminated manuscript on vellum Italy, Verona, first quarter of 13th century Dimensions: sheet size 193 x 115 mm. 244 leaves 1 full-page miniature of the crucifixion, 2 large historiated initials showing St Peter and St Paul, and 26 decorated initials in elaborate ornamental designs sometimes formed of dragons or other creatures, all in colours on burnished gold grounds. Manuscripts containing the entire New Testament first appeared at the end of the 12th century, in the region between France and Northern Italy. The present codex is related to a group of manuscripts probably made in Verona in the first quarter of the 13th century. The illumination is purely Romanesque. Full-page Crucifixion miniatures, common in Sacramentaries, are exceedingly rare in Bibles. With its combination of Byzantine influence and Germanic elements the manuscript is an important witness to the state of the arts in the 13th century in Verona when the pictorial arts were in a state of flux.
Provenance: 1.Probably written in Verona, and still in use in the 14th century. It had reached England by 1900 when it was rebound. 2.James P.R. Lyell (1871-1949), his ms. 49, bought on 20 March 1942 from Rosenthal; after a bequest to the Bodleian, the residue of his manuscripts were purchased by Messrs. Quaritch; their cat. 699 (1952). 3.Harry Lawrence Bradfer-Lawrence († 1965), his ms. 22, formerly on deposit at the Fitzwilliam Museum, sold en bloc to Quaritch. 4.Lawrence Witten, Connecticut, consigned by him to Sotheby’s, 5 December 1989, lot 76.

Bronze mirror Greek, Magna Graecia 525–500 BC Height: 11¾ inches (30 cm) Depth: 5⅜ inches (13.7 cm)
Provenance: Ex collection H Palivoda, Geneva, Switzerland; collected in the 1950’s This bronze mirror is supported by an exquisitely cast nude male figure. The back of the disc is embellished with finely incised decoration. The figure, which would have been attached to a base, stands upright with the left foot placed slightly forward, and thus copies the pose of early Archaic Greek marble kouroi and smaller bronze statuettes of kouroi. Like these sculptures of early Archaic date, the form of this nude male figure marks the beginning development of the human figure in Greek art. The aesthetic appeal and early date of such a high quality work of art place it among the finest and rarest of these mirrors known from South Italy and mainland Greece.

Footnote: The top of this unique table is of Nagasaki aogai lacquer, which has applied pigments overlaid with thin layers of mother-of-pearl, to brilliant effect. In 1851 London’s Great Exhibition attracted over six million visitors to view 14,000 exhibits from all parts of the globe. It was the vision of Prince Albert and Henry Cole (the first Director of the Victoria and Albert Museum). The architect of the ‘Crystal Palace’ was Joseph Paxton the 6th Duke's gardener. Paxton was knighted for this extraordinary piece of design and the Duke took great satisfaction in his protégé’s achievement. He not only attended the formal opening in May 1851 but took every opportunity to visit the building as it was being erected and its displays arranged. As James Lees-Milne writes: The Duke took one by one Harriet (his niece The Duchess of Sutherland), his brother, Black Rod (Sir Augustus Clifford), his sister Lamb (Caroline St. Jules, the hon. Mrs George Lamb), Caroline Norton, The (Marquis and Marchioness of ) Normandy(s), Lady Newburgh, (Lord) Erskine, and anyone he could enlist to share his delight and enthusiasm. (Sotheby’s, Chatsworth, The Attic Sale, London, 2010)
The Chatsworth ‘Monkey’ centre table The lobed hexagonal black lacquer top of this extraordinary centre table is profusely decorated in blue and bright pink aoga i (mother-of-pearl) with three scenes showing abundantly flowering trees and birds in landscapes. The base comprises the painted silk crepe trunk of a tree supported by three furry monkeys wearing brocade coats and harnesses. Japanese, circa 1850. Height: 28½ inches (72 cm) Diameter: 47½ inches (121 cm)
Provenance: William Spencer Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire (1790-1858), by repute, purchased at the Great Exhibition, 1851. Literature: Photographed in The Oak Room in the late 19th Century, The Duchess of Devonshire, The House - A portrait of Chatsworth, London 1982, p.165 and The Duchess of Devonshire, Chatsworth - The House, London 2002, p108 where it is described as ‘An octagonal table supported by three mangy stuffed monkeys was bought from the Great Exhibition of 1851. Its top glints with mother of pearl’ [in The Oak Room] (op. cit. p. 109).
