In the spring of 1957, designer and sculptor Harry Bertoia travelled through Italy on a grant from the Graham Foundation, “bathing in all kinds of new beauties…the works of the Etruscans, some Greek temples and marbles.” ¹ Energized, he returned to his studio in Bally, Pennsylvania with a fresh approach. “All this began to make me feel that something should start from the center and should express its joy and energy by radiating outward.” Prior to his trip, Bertoia often built his sculptures from linear elements and rectangles arranged like screens. Shortly after his return from Italy, he conceived his “Dandelion” series, a radical departure from those earlier planar works. As the present lot demonstrates, his earliest “Dandelions” were literal representations of flowers, their heads bearing articulated seeds. Later “Dandelions”, like those commissioned for the Eastman Kodak Pavilion at the New York World’s Fair in 1964, lost their parachutes, became denser and more abstract. Sometimes known as “Sunbursts”, these later sculptures, when viewed with the present lot, attest to Bertoia’s enthusiastic embrace of all things great and small, from cosmic rays down to the daily details of the backyard.

CHANDIGARH

MODEL CITY OF MODERNISM

During the Partition of India in 1947, Punjab lost Lahore, its capital, to Pakistan. In his haste to quit the heat, Border Commissions chair Sir Cyril Radcliffe had drawn a reckless line through towns, fields, even houses. In the Punjab alone, ten million Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs were displaced. Radcliffe had never been to India before and only stayed five weeks. Addressing the urgent need for a Punjabi capital, Prime Minister Nehru commissioned the planning and construction of Chandigarh, a model city to be built in the foothills of the Himalayas. Named for the Hindu goddess Chandi (bearer of lotus and lightning), Chandigarh would function as the symbol of a progressive and auspicious Indian future. American planner Albert Mayer and Polish architect Matthew Nowicki drafted the first drawings of the city, a rectangular grid of ‘superblocks’ intended to house 500,000 residents. Nowicki died in a plane crash in 1950, and Mayer withdrew from the project. In their stead, Le Corbusier and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret undertook the design and completion of the capital complex, including ‘sectors’ for housing, government offices, industry, and commerce. Jeanneret became chief architect after Le Corbusier’s own departure in 1959. Aided by admiring Indian colleagues, Jeanneret built a series of residential and civic buildings including the dramatic Ghandi Bhawan, the library of Ghandian studies at Punjab University. Its canted roofs, like wings, expressed the lofty aspirations of the project. For Jeanneret, no detail was too small; he designed lampposts, manhole covers, paddle boats—everything. Out of necessity, and with respect for his surroundings, he employed local craftsmen to build with local materials. Unlike Sir Radcliffe’s recess, Jeanneret’s fifteen year stay in India was a lifetime. Architectural critic Patwant Singh wrote: “His solutions were not impatient impositions.” Jeanneret helped build by hand what Radcliffe’s arbitrary sweep could not: a modern India. When Jeanneret returned to Europe in 1965, ill and unable to work, he reportedly lamented, “I am leaving my home and going to a foreign country.” His ashes, returned to Chandigarh, were scattered on Lake Sukhna.

American architect Orus Orville Eash (1915-2003) produced over five hundred buildings during his long career, including offices, houses, and churches, most of them in the Midwest. Eash’s own home in Ft. Wayne, Indiana (pictured below) hewed to the tenets of the International Style of architecture which espoused volume over mass, balanced proportions, and the absence of superfluous ornament. The same characteristics applied to the furniture of Danish designer Finn Juhl, whom Eash greatly admired. The present three lots, produced from 1951 by Baker Furniture of Grand Rapids, Michigan, are among the rare examples of Juhl’s works produced in the United States. Juhl’s soft contours and his play of mass and void—shaped backrests and restless arms—were a lively counterpoint to the strict geometry of Eash’s own home.

The son of Italian immigrants from Westerly, Rhode Island, James Prestini caught a lucky break in the 1920s when he caddied for Thomas Watson, founder of I.B.M. Watson’s largesse allowed the teenager to attend Yale University, where he graduated in 1930 with a degree in mechanical engineering. Prestini spent the Depression as a math teacher at Lake Forest Academy, north of Chicago. Piqued by the school’s woodworking shop, Prestini taught himself—and shortly thereafter students—to turn wood as thinly as blown glass. Edgar Kaufman Jr., exhibiting Prestini’s work at the Museum of Modern Art in 1949, wrote: “He has made grand things that are not overwhelming, beautiful things that are not personal unveilings, and simple things that do not urge usefulness to excuse their simplicity.” Prestini built the present table while he was an instructor at László Moholy-Nagy’s School of Design, now the Illinois Institute of Technology.

“Just in Time was designed for ‘Clocks by 31 Artists’ held at the Matsuya Design Gallery in 1986. For the hour hand of the first clock, Kuramata pulled out of his pocket some twigs that looked like something he’d found while walking, and for the second hand he used some kind of bristle (what could they be?), experimenting repeatedly so that when the hands moved they would create a gentle arc. The Clock was like a free-forming picture, changing according to the time it showed. Kuramata was very fond of this clock and, for a long while, liked to have one near him.” (Shiro Kuramata, exh. cat., Tokyo, 1986, p. 78)

Given the irregularities of burl, the client became concerned about the table’s practicality. Blunk produced for him a second example in rosewood and kept the present lot in his personal collection. Carved by hand and by chainsaw from a single piece of buckeye burl, the table is evidence of Blunk’s superior woodworking abilities in service to the natural characteristics of the wood.

FOUR ARTISTS

INNOVATIONS IN VENETIAN GLASS

“Do as nature does in fire,” wrote Italian poet Dante Alighieri in his Divine Comedy. To evoke the crucible of glassblowing, curator Ferruccio Franzoia borrowed the line for his exhibition of contemporary glass artists at the 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009. “Fa come natura face in foco”, on view in the Venice Pavilion last summer, represented the triumphant return of Murano glass to the Biennale after the exclusion of decorative arts in 1972 and in subsequent years. Three of the nine artists selected—Toni Zuccheri (19372008), Lino Tagliapietra, and Dale Chihuly—have enjoyed long, established careers. Four others—Yoichi Ohira, Laura de Santillana, Cristiano Bianchin, and Ritsue Mishima—all of whom appear in this catalog, represent the spry future of Venetian glassmaking, despite the fact that all are seasoned artists of varying ages and all have worked for many years in the furnaces of Murano. In Dante’s lyric, sound follows sense: the heavy stresses of his iambs and anapests combust on the page. Franzoia’s borrowing was an apt one. As their work moves from function towards pure sculpture, each of the following four artists is shaping the art of contemporary glass in an explosive way. In his reinterpretation of the vessel, Ohira swells his vases and constricts their necks; De Santillana collapses hers into slabs, their mouths sealed; but the viewer, confronting such claustrophobic forms, finds freedom in Ohira’s expansive surface treatments and in De Santillana’s incalmo landscapes. Mishima practices a more violent distortion. Although no longer vessels, her punctured forms are receptacles nonetheless: they hold calming clarity and profound turmoil, a supreme contradiction. Bianchin’s work, his opaque black glass sculptures and his hand-blown urns holding lengths of folded hemp, evoke the grand forces at either end of life: the chrysalis transforming in its shell (a vessel of sorts) and viscera embalmed in Canopic burial jars. Another line from the Divine Comedy comes to mind: “A great flame follows a little spark.” Certainly Murano’s thousand year tradition of glassmaking is no little spark. However, as the following lots show, these four artists are keeping the fires banked.

Cut, forged, and welded from sheet steel, Ron Arad’s “Little Heavy” was among his increasingly expressionistic, sculptural works of the late 1980s, a departure from the earlier pragmatism of his Kee Klamp experiments such as “Rover Chair” and “Round Rail Bed”. In Restless Furniture, Deyan Sudjic wrote: “While some designers continue to celebrate the imagery of the machine…others like Arad attempt to turn design into a species of poetry.” (New York, 1989) By the time of “Little Heavy”, Arad had mostly left behind salvaged or open-source materials, his use of which was so reminiscent of machines and vehicles. He gave wing to his imagination and with it a new poetry: the rhythms of volume and space for which he is now celebrated.

Renowned fashion designer Rick Owens launched his own line of geometric chairs, stools, and daybeds in 2005, most of them made in the same building that houses his atelier on the Place du Palais Bourbon in Paris. “Order and discipline are my comfort zones,” Owens declared in a recent interview (Vanessa Friedman, “His Dark Materials,” Financial Times: How To Spend It, London, March 20, 2010, Web). His chairs support that statement; a compliment to his angular fashions, their lines are strict, planes wide, surfaces hard. They recall the square, blunt furniture of Donald Judd, although without Judd’s total devotion to right angles—Owens bends a bit. His “Curial” chair (2006) stands at attention, but the curve of its seat eases the eye, if not the posterior. A Judd maxim comes to mind: “I think the thing to do is to either sit up or lie down or stand up: I’m not sympathetic to in-between positions.” (“Donald Judd Furniture,” Louisa Guinness Gallery, London, Web) The Curia Julia in Rome, the Senate House built by Julius Caesar, stands as a reminder of our endless need to convene. Its austere walls, faced with pale, exposed brick, held within their confines the fevered deliberations of the assembled tribe, circa 44 B.C. Two millennia later our confab continues, albeit between less hallowed walls. Owens’s “Curial” chair hints at a different sort of meeting place. Its plywood construction—flat bottom, steep arms—directly references those half-pipe skateboard ramps so prevalent in backyards throughout Southern California, where Owens grew up. The tribe is shaggier but the talk can’t be so different: curial decrees, shouts, young men boasting in air. Owens’s chair, a humble throne built from everyday materials, elevates the conversation.

Comprising fluorescent light bulbs and mirror, “Deep Table” attests to contemporary artist Iván Navarro’s preoccupation with ready-made materials, electricity, and illusion. “I make spaces in a fictional way to deal with my own psychological anxiety,” he explained on the occasion of his self-titled 2008 exhibition at Tufts University Art Gallery in Medford, Massachusetts. Raised in Chile during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, Navarro imbues his design works—generic tables or fluorescent reproductions of iconic works such as Gerrit Rietveld’s “Red Blue Chair”— with lethal energy, dysfunction, and dread.

IMPORTANT WORKS BY MARC NEWSON FROM THE HALSEY MINOR COLLECTION

Renowned collector and technology entrepreneur Halsey Minor has amassed a highly important collection of design, including seminal limited edition works by Marc Newson. In effect a comprehensive survey of Newson’s career, Mr. Minor’s collection ranges from early studio masterpieces like “Pod of Drawers” (1987) to recent ones like a prototype “Micarta” desk (2006) while stopping at all the key points between. Of his devotion to design, Mr. Minor states, “Collecting is about learning…It is an intense ongoing process of education, and it is my mission to collect only the best.”

Phillips de Pury & Company would like to thank Marc Newson and Didier Krzentowski for their assistance in cataloging these lots.

providing or participating in a guarantee on the lot, Phillips de Pury & Company will make an announcement in the saleroom that interested parties may bid on the lot. Consecutive and Responsive Bidding The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may further bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve by placing consecutive bids or bids in response to other bidders. 4 AFTER THE AUCTION Payment Buyers are required to pay for purchases immediately following the auction unless other arrangements are agreed with Phillips de Pury & Company in writing in advance of the sale. Payments must be made in US dollars either by cash, check drawn on a US bank or wire transfer, as noted in Paragraph 6 of the Conditions of Sale. It is our corporate policy not to make or accept single or multiple payments in cash or cash equivalents in excess of US$10,000. Credit Cards As a courtesy to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company will accept American Express, Visa and Mastercard to pay for invoices of $10,000 or less. Collection It is our policy to request proof of identity on collection of a lot. A lot will be released to the buyer or the buyer’s authorized representative when Phillips de Pury & Company has received full and cleared payment and we are not owed any other amount by the buyer. Promptly after the auction, we will transfer all lots to our warehouse located at 29-09 37th Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, New York. All purchased lots should be collected at this location during our regular weekday business hours. As a courtesy to clients, we will upon request transfer purchased lots suitable for hand carry back to our premises at 450 West 15th Street, New York, New York for collection within 30 days following the date of the auction. For each purchased lot not collected from us at either our warehouse or our auction galleries by such date, Phillips de Pury & Company will levy an administrative fee of $35, a storage fee of $5 per day and a pro rated Insurance charge of 0.1% of the purchase price per month. Loss or Damage Buyers are reminded that Phillips de Pury & Company accepts liability for loss or damage to lots for a maximum of five days following the auction. Transport and Shipping As a free service for buyers, Phillips de Pury & Company will wrap purchased lots for hand carry only. We will, at the buyer’s expense, either provide packing, handling and shipping services or coordinate with shipping agents instructed by the buyer in order to facilitate such services for property purchased at Phillips de Pury & Company. Please refer to Paragraph 7 of the Conditions of Sale for more information. Export and Import Licenses Before bidding for any property, prospective bidders are advised to make independent inquiries as to whether a license is required to export the property from the United States or to import it into another country. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to comply with all import and export laws and to obtain any necessary licenses or permits. The denial of any required license or permit or any delay in obtaining such documentation will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot. Endangered Species Items made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, irrespective of age, percentage or value, may require a license or certificate prior to exportation and additional licenses or certificates upon importation to any foreign country. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. We suggest that prospective bidders check with their own government regarding wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any necessary export or import licenses or certificates as well as any other required documentation. The denial of any required license or certificate or any delay in obtaining such documentation will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot.
