LATIN AMERICA and its unique cultural blend are more relevant and vibrant today than ever before. At Phillips de Pury & Company we pride ourselves on being the first to highlight the most exciting and promising artists from around the globe.

Exceptional talent originating in Latin America has exploded on the international art scene over the last few years. So much so that we felt the phenomenon deserved a more focused look from the market perspective. It is for that reason that we are inaugurating, with this catalog and sale, what we intend to become an annual event.

As always, enlightened private collectors have shown the way. Amongst them, formidable ladies such as Rosa de la Cruz, Patricia Phelps de Cisneros or Tiqui Atencio have played a pioneering role in getting greater international exposure for the best Latin American art. At the same time they have promoted a heightened awareness of the best contemporary art in the region. We are most grateful to Tiqui Atencio to have agreed to be interviewed in what is my ultimate James Bond type dream house somewhere in France. I first met Tiqui a number of years ago when in a previous life I was working at Sotheby’s. I was instantly struck by the beauty and vivacity of her eyes. Very soon I discovered that these eyes also have a razor sharp ability to spot top quality. Her enthusiasm and passion for art is balanced by her commitment to getting a wider audience for art from Latin America. Her active support for the Latin American Acquisitions Committee for Tate is only one expression of this.

It is the total originality of Vik Muniz’s work that attracted me from the time I first saw it. In my great vanity I thought it would be cool to have my portrait made by him. When I expressed that desire to him he just asked me the question: ‘Chocolate or blood?’ As a Swiss and a chocoholic on top of it, I tend to be more naturally drawn to chocolate but, as I clearly prefer bright red as a color, I answered ‘Blood.’ He did not want to be bored making a dull portrait, so he suddenly produced a gun that he instructed me to hold à la 007. The result is a portrait that I hope my grandchildren may find some amusement in. What we are really proud of at Phillips de Pury is to have sold the strong Marat Dead that is the centre piece of the very moving film You, Me, Garbage and Picasso, made by Karen Harley on Vik Muniz. All this and much, much more thanks to LATIN AMERICA!

VIK MUNIZ ART, JUNK AND VALUE WORDS JONATHAN ROMNEY | INTERVIEW KAREN WRIGHT

studio, and has his subjects trace out the image, filling in the dark areas and lines with material that they themselves have collected. Watching the film, you worry that Muniz’s subjects, on their hands and knees, seem to be doing all the hard work; but we eventually see the artist getting down and sprinkling coffee grounds, or something yuckier, on the studio floor. He then re-photographs the finished, ‘junked-in’ images and finally, completing the circle, takes the resulting pictures to auction for the highest possible price – the proceeds going to ACAMJG, the Association of Scavengers of Jardim Gramacho, of which one of his subjects, Tião (Sebastião Carlos dos Santos), is president. The project is the latest of several series in which Muniz has played with ideas about representation and material by recreating preexisting images in unlikely media. Some of these projects seem primarily conceptual: at the Whitney, he used dust from the museum to recreate some of its best-known exhibits. Other series are more obviously in the politicalpolemical vein of Pictures of Garbage. In Sugar Children (1996), Muniz created portraits of sugar workers’ children from St Kitts, traced in sugar from their plantations, to comment on the way that labour converts workers’ effort into saleable value.

Early on in Harley’s film, before such themes fully emerge, we might well feel uneasy about Muniz’s intentions. We see the artist wandering round the joyless expanses of Jardim Gramacho, watching mountains of rubbish cascade off the backs of lorries. Then Harley cuts to the glacially white curves of the Guggenheim, where Muniz muses on Picasso’s Woman Ironing, one of the paintings he will appropriate: an image of poverty contemplated in a temple of cultural and commercial value. On first arriving in Jardim Gramacho, camera strapped on his back, Muniz gazes around like a bewildered tourist, wrinkling his nose while a pair of vultures hop about in the background. ‘When you arrive here,’ he marvels, ‘you have to overcome some sensorial barriers… The smell is wonderful, it’s incredibly bad.’ You immediately suspect a dubious nostalgie de la boue (although the subtitled translation ‘wonderful’ for the Portuguese formidável may be misleading: I suspect the more ambivalent ‘amazing’ would do just as well).

Gradually, however, the logic of Muniz’s project emerges and – given

A SELF-DESCRIBED ‘low-tech illusionist,’ Brazilian artist Vik Muniz uses diverse, seemingly unpromising media – sugar, cotton, wire, thread, chocolate – to create pictures that at once are trompe l’oeil and yet at the same time fool no one. Stand at a distance from these works and they appear to be quasi-photographic re-creations of famous paintings and other images; look at them close up and what you see is the improbable material he uses, pretending to be nothing other than what it is. And what it is in his latest series is, quite simply, garbage.

A new documentary, You, Me, Garbage and Picasso, records a project that the Sao Paolo-born, New York-based Muniz recently undertook in his native Brazil. Pictures of Garbage was exhibited in spring this year in Rio de Janeiro’s Museum of Modern Art, and comprises images of contemporary Brazilians imitating heroic or classical poses: Jacques-Louis David’s Marat slain in his tub, a Madonna with children, various idealised dignity-of-labour figures in the manner of Soviet or Latin American revolutionary art.

But the pictures are actually ‘painted’ – or rather, picked out – in garbage. Muniz’s models and collaborators are scavengers, people who make a subsistence gleaning discarded but reusable material in Jardim Gramacho on the outskirts of Rio, Latin America’s biggest landfill site. Inhabited by some 5000 people, the place is reputed to be hell on earth. Its denizens, Muniz comments – before his first visit, apparently – are ‘probably the roughest people you can think of – they’re all drug addicts. This is the end of the line…

This is where everything that’s not good goes – including the people.’ The film is directed and edited by Karen Harley, with Joao Jardim and Muniz’s wife, artist Janaina Tschäpe, as additional directors. One of the executive producers is Fernando Meirelles, whose film City of God did much to bring the poverty in contemporary Brazil to global awareness (albeit arguably glamorising it in the process).

Muniz insists at one point that he is more interested in process than in final product, and this particular process is certainly an ingenious exercise in circularity. Muniz enlists a number of Jardim Gramacho inhabitants and photographs them in iconic poses – images that are themselves recycled from the cultural repertoire. He projects each photo onto the floor of a huge 12

the artist’s approachable, no-nonsense affability, even blokiness – you start to root for him and his subjects. The scavengers he recruits, some eight of them, are a charismatic and articulate bunch, godsends for film-maker Harley as much for Muniz himself. Two of the women, Isis and Suelem, are exceptionally chic and photogenic, although their glamour is very much their own and not something Muniz imposes on them in his pictures. Some of Muniz’s collaborators express a defiant pride in their occupation, notably Tião (‘To me, being a scavenger is being a hero’) and Zumbi, a father of nine who insists that scavenging is a lifestyle he has chosen because he likes it.

Tião himself is an activist given to quoting Machiavelli: he once found a discarded copy of The Prince, dried it out, then devoured it. The women, however, eschew heroics and mystification: ‘This is no future… It makes me ill,’ declares Isis, while Suelem, who eats whatever she can salvage, expresses the bottom line of the scavenger’s life when she says of her diet, ‘If I don’t die, it’s not bad.’

Once we have followed Muniz through the process of turning junk quasi-alchemically into a visual commodity worth big money, then the project makes perfect sense. Muniz is out to prove that there is something new beyond ‘the end of the line,’ and indeed that the line itself can be reversed: he wants to take products, and people, beyond the supposed limit of their socially useful lives, to grant them new value and dignity.

Even so, watching the project in its early stages could set off any sceptic’s alarm. When Muniz photographs the handsome Tião, nobly decked out as the dying Marat – in a bathtub that the model himself has obligingly hauled over a hill – we could be watching a parody of poverty-chic fashion photography, perhaps an outtake from Zoolander.

Yet everything begins to cohere as the film follows the elaborate, absurdly roundabout process of transformation by which Muniz and his collaborators painstakingly form debris into images. The reclaimed scraps and chunks are transfigured into a kind of solid ‘paint,’ yet at the same time acquire a new value as themselves, junk becoming a sort of ideal quintessence of junk. In the image of a sack carried on a worker’s back or head, the container itself becomes a cornucopia made of, and spilling over with, garbage

at its most imposing, fruitful, formidável. The process that Muniz has devised reaches its conceptual climax in the auction itself, at Phillips in London, where the picture of Tião as Marat sells for £28,000. Muniz brings Tião to London to enjoy the auction, and for a potted lesson on the relationship between art, junk and value: they admire a Gavin Turk bronze cast of a bin bag, and a Manzoni worth $300,000 (presumably, given the theme, a can of mierda de artista). Seeing his likeness on sale, Tião professes, ‘I feel like a pop star here’ – and you have to admit he carries himself like one too.

Muniz finally gives copies of the pictures to their subjects, who are delighted and moved, and even admit to being empowered by the experience: one woman says that she had never felt able to tell people what she did for a living, until working with the artist allowed her to. The subjects each get their moment of stardom, but we don’t feel that they are being led into the media mincer and cast aside: this is not, as far as we can see, an X Factor process.

Tião might get to appear on a glitzy Brazilian TV chat show, but he uses the occasion to make a political point, correcting the host that the proper term for what he and his co-workers deal in is not ‘garbage’ but ‘recyclable material.’

You, Me, Garbage and Picasso is essentially a functional ‘making-of’ document rather than having major artistic aspirations in its own right. Director Harley does an honest, effective job of storytelling and explanation: getting us on Muniz’s side, getting us to see both the joke and the serious social point of his undertaking. The film leaves some questions unanswered: it would have been good to know exactly how Muniz recruited and selected his collaborators, and – given the supposed roughness of the Jardim Gramacho population - whether he got the bum’s rush from any hostile locals who didn’t take kindly to arty types. And it could be said that the film spends too much time in the art studio, not quite enough in the garbage fields. But then, to do cinematic justice to Jardim Gramacho’s strangeness, squalor and austerity, it would really have taken a Werner Herzog – or indeed, a Fernando Meirelles.

You, Me, Garbage and Picasso will be released shortly.

«TO ME, BEING A SCAVENGER IS BEING A HERO»

«THE GARBAGE DUMP IS CLOSING AND THAT IS A SOCIAL TRAGEDY»

We caught up with Vik Muniz on a crackling mobile phone in Brazil, late at night. He had just returned from opening his show in the new Fundação Inimá de Paula, Belo Horizonte. Despite sounding tired, he revived as he talked about his project of making contemporary art accessible to all.

KAREN WRIGHT How and when did the garbage project start?

VIK MUNIZ The project started three years ago when an English couple wanted to do a project with me.They said I could work with a film maker, Lucy Walker, who had done several brilliant films. I didn’t want to do a film about me but to do something about a specific body of work.

peoples’ identities, but I chose the images instinctively. I had been to places of impressive endeavor before – gold mines where people were moving things from one place to another. This was different. People were picking up already used things. The movement seemed choreographic but when I left the site I was thinking about work.

KW Tell me about Jardim Gramacho, the site.

VM Chaotic and artistic! At times you feel you are surrounded by broken and shredded things.You feel you are losing it a bit. But it’s very beautiful – it’s also very aggressive on the senses. It’s 55 meters high, built on mangroves; one side is beautiful mountains, very pointy and beautiful. At first there is an unbearable smell, you want to vomit. After 30 minutes you get used to it and focus on other things. But at the same time it is visually enticing, it causes a cognitive challenge and you need to adapt to it.

KW Was there a specific period of art you thought of?

VM I chose paintings when people started glamorizing work, this would be after slavery. I wanted to mine a genre of work, people like Jean-François Millet and The Gleaners. The Marat picture was pure coincidence. Tião was carrying a bath and I saw it, and thought of the painting.

KW Does this come out of Duchamp’s ready mades ?

VM No, it is more Picasso than Duchamp – which is strange as all the garbage is ready mades! I am against the idea of found objects, everything can be found there, but the end result is that the garbage becomes formal.

KW How did you choose the people you worked with on the portraits?

VM There are 5000 people working on the site and some were reluctant to be filmed.We went through the process of selecting different characters.

What I liked was there was a strict work conduct. You imagine it would be very chaotic but its not.

KW How big were the portraits when you made them?

VM 20 by 30 meters.

KW Where did you do them?

VM In my studio, which is a huge hanger, in a rough area of town, Parada de Lucas, and which is conveniently next to a huge junkyard. We were up a very tall tower, 23 meters high. We were shooting down from an angle, giving the viewer a shot of normal perspective. People come to visit the studio when they are in town for Biennales. We tell them it is like life in a favela. On the other side of the street is the other gang in the narcotics war, the area is called the Gaza Strip. It sounds worse than it is. (Laughing).

KW Did you run into aggression?

VM There are extreme rules necessary to coexist. We chose to go to more friendly people. They were very suspicious, and had no idea what they were doing until I brought them into the studio. You have to remember that these people had never been to museums and knew nothing about art, not to mention contemporary art.

KW It was very touching to see the process in the film, but has it made a long term difference to people on the project?

VM This has changed their lives. If they went back, they went back with a different attitude, and some didn’t go back. Tião, the guy who I brought to London, has done some amazing things since the film. He has spent his efforts getting support for his class. He’s been on national television, on the equivalent of the David Letterman Show. 80,000,000 people watch this programme. Tião was so comfortable in front of the camera, I was more nervous than he was.He reads Machiavelli, he is comfortable talking to politicians. We are trying to get him an audience with the governor, trying to get recycling on the agenda.The garbage dump is closing and that is a social tragedy.

KW Do you feel part of the Latin American scene?

VM I feel very lonely most of the time. In Brazil there is a huge influence of the history of Neo Concretism coming into the work of artists like Ernesto Neto, but I am not into that.

KW What was your artistic background?

VM When I was young and growing up my parents were poor and we didn’t go to museums much. I was more influenced by art in Europe of the 60s and the 70s – pop, minimalism, Arte Povera – than in Latin America.

To me, Joseph Beuys was amazing! A natural shaman. Warhol was also really important. As to my market I say I am American, but as a person I am Brazilian. I was in advertising before I was an artist, dealing with marketing.

I wanted to make art about what I disliked in advertising.

Portrait: Barney Kulok

KW Has it changed you? Did the characters surprise you?

VM Yes! Fabio, who runs the studio, and I both have been changed. We didn’t know whether it would work and we thought that we would be working with rough types. Once we got past their suspicions they were very smart. They contributed to the project and had such enthusiasm. They were so eloquent about the project and how it affected them. Many of us – artists, curators and collectors – are not so clear. And I will never look at garbage in the same way! (Laughs.)

KW Has Latin American art changed?

VM When I was growing up there were things you could not say but Brazil has become more open. There is a new generation of artists – Rivanne Neuenschwander and Os Gêmeos (the graffiti artists) – more communication and more openness.

KW What is important to you now?

VM My quest is designing an exhibition to which 300,000 visitors have already been [the show just opened at the Fundação Inimá de Paula, Belo Horizonte.] There are three more venues and we are hoping that before it closes 600,000 people will have seen it. I want to make contemporary art more relevant now. I want to play with conceptual art, how to use it for a more general public. I don’t have a specific public and I have proved with this project that anyone can understand it. Making art – anyone can be part of it – it is an amazing effect. ■

KW What was important about the project for your work?

VM I was already established with my work, I had reached a curve, but sometimes I must betray my public. I wanted to work with different people, to have other input.

KW How did you choose the paintings?

VM I chose familiar paintings that carry the baggage of the viewer so they bring context to the work. At first I wanted to produce images based on 15

Opposite: in the study are photographs by Helmut Newton, Vanessa Beecroft and, in the foreground, a sculpture by Cesar. Below, the dining room reflected in a work by Jim Hodges.

THERE ARE FEW people who are as passionate about art as Tiqui Atencio. Ever since she bought her first piece, a painting by the Venezuelan artist Armando Reverón in the 1960s, she has been an avid collector. She also chairs the Committee for Acquisitions of Latin American Art at the Tate and has done so since its inception in 2003. Her interests are not limited to this region alone: she has also amassed a truly international collection.

Tiqui was born in Maracaibo, the second largest city in Venezuela. Her uncle and aunt were serious art lovers. They owned works by Pablo Picasso, Frances Bacon, Lucian Freud and Alberto Giacometti. They also collected Latin American work including Pre-Columbian artefacts and modern masters Rufino Tamayo, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and David Alfaro Siqueiros.

Tiqui’s extended family moved to Caracas when she was twelve years old, where she was introduced to the world of galleries. ‘The galleries were open on Sundays in Caracas, so it became part of our weekly ritual,’ she remembers. She first studied art history at the Catholic University in Caracas.

Tiqui later moved to New York where her uncle was living, and immediately started visiting museums and galleries. She has a special fondness for auction houses. She remarks, ‘My uncle was part of the establishment, so I would go with him to auctions. I got my education in auction houses, I went with him to view and developed a passion for them. I was in awe of the prices and I liked the drama, people raising their paddles.’

In New York she continued to collect and became increasingly drawn to the contemporary scene. She made her first contemporary purchase – a David Salle painting – and also bought JeanMichel Basquiat, Donald Bachelor, Phillip Taaffe, Andy Warhol (‘I wish I had bought more!’), Brice Marden, Jeff Koons and James Brown.

Tiqui moved to Europe in 1987, living in Paris, where she studied history of art at L’École du Regard. She is clear that art is something that has to be learned; the eye has to be developed.

Looking around at the towers of art books carefully arranged on low tables, I see she takes her education seriously. ‘I have an eclectic collection but I am lucky enough to be able to travel widely,’ she explains. ‘I go to as many events, exhibitions, biennales and fairs as possible. I am always looking and creating scenarios in my head.’ By the late 80s she was living in London, and had started to invest in the Young British Art scene. She bought her first Damien Hirst ‘for £8,000’ she says laughing. ‘I always like to buy early. I bought Cerith Wyn Evans, Gary Hume [there is a perky yellow snow man by the swimming pool] and Tracey Emin when they were starting out. In New York I bought Agnes Martin, Brice Marden and Donald Judd early in their careers.’

Sitting in her beautiful house in France, it takes a while to acclimatise oneself to the collection. Not all of it is as eye catching as the large circular Ugo Rondinone and the lurking Paul McCarthy near me. Tiqui says much of her collection 18

comes into its own at night, when the Jenny Holzer and Bill Viola shine forth. Many of the works, like the Fischli and Weiss projection piece, a work I had admired in Tate Modern at their recent show, are more subtle, waiting to be discovered.

When I comment on the Fischli and Weiss she says ‘I have a lot of Swiss artists, don’t I?’ gesturing at the Rondinone and the Urs Fischer.

She tells me that she loves the Fishli and Weiss rubber work she has in her house in London. ‘It looks like a Moroccan pouf and everyone goes and sits on it. When I tell them it is an art work, they jump up and I say no that is okay, Fishli and Weiss have given me a special artist’s dispensation to sit on it!’

DESIGN AS A MOTIF appears throughout the house, in beautiful Pre-Columbian bowls and also in work by another favourite of Tiqui’s, Franz West, whose metal chair is placed nearby. She points out another work by West, part of a series of plasters which you were meant to wear. Tiqui tells me that it reminds her of Brazilian artists Hélio Oiticica, Lygia Clarke and Lygia Pape, and the costumes that they made to be worn in their street performances.

The West chair, metallic, and dare I say it uncomfortable looking, is placed under a shimmering wall piece by Fontana. Tiqui fills me in.

‘The Fontana relief is called Manhattan and is from 1962, when Fontana went to New York for his exhibition at the Guggenheim. He made a series of cut works in metal: aluminium, pewter and copper.’ It is an extraordinary work, more of a sculpture than a painting, and sets up an interesting relationship with the nearby Tobias Putrih sculpture, a work from his ‘Macula’ series, the graduated shapes of a torso cut from corrugated cardboard.

Relationships and dialogues are central to Tiqui she tells me. ‘It is important not to ghettoise artists – or perhaps categorise them is a better word – by where they come from.’ This was a condition she imposed when she was approached by Sir Nicholas Serota to help him to start collecting Latin American art. She was on the executive committe of the International Council of the Tate when Serota asked her to put together a committee to fund acquisitions so the Tate could start collecting Latin American art in a serious way. She was already the President of the International Director’s Council of the Guggenheim and Thomas Krens had mentioned a similar idea, but Serota was more focused. Six years later she heads a committee of forty-five members, which meets twice a year. Works are pre-selected by curators who then present the work to the committee. It is her job as Chairman to get a consensus of opinion.

‘One of the first works we acquired for the Tate was a work by the Cuban artist, Carlos Garaicoa, star of the recent Havana Biennale. I have one over there.’

She points to a work nearby. ‘The com-

mittee is not about our private collections though.

We have to put those concerns aside.’ We return to this topic during our conversation. ‘Much of the Latin American work today has a heavy social political content.’ I ask her whether she had seen the installation by Teresa Margolles in the Mexican pavilion at the recent Venice Biennale. ‘Yes that is a case in point,’ she says. ‘That work is important and the Tate must have it, but it is not easy to live with it in a domestic setting.’

There is an eclecticism in the works that surround us. A glowing Mediterranean blue Yves Klein torso, a delicate white Piero Manzoni cotton balls piece placed near a plaster torso by Louise Bourgeois. It is a perceptive sensibility that has placed these works from different decades and continents in dialogue with the more contemporary Jim Hodges, Anish Kapoor, Yinka Shonibare and Tobias Putrih, who I mention to Tiqui. She says, ‘Art is about making connections between artists who have a sensibility that can come together.’

I ask whether she is still purchasing Latin American artists. ‘Yes, but since the institutions have discovered them, the prices have shot up.’

She smiles. ‘That is a price we pay to help the area.’ Recent shows, like that of Brazilian artists Hélio Oiticica and Cildo Meireles at the Tate Modern in London, have helped raise the profile of the region, as has the inclusion of artists Lygia Pape and Cildo Meireles in Daniel Birnbaum’s Venice Biennale this year.

It is not just the institutions that have helped to raise the consciousness she says. Private collections like that of Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, the Daros Foundation in Zurich, as well as American collectors Bruce and Diane Halle, have helped to spread the word, as have auctions (including the Phillips de Pury Latin American auction in New York on October third.)

Is there more to find? I ask. ‘Absolutely.

Latin America has a long history to draw from.

We have the gardens, the design, the architecture, there is a wealth still to discover.’ Tiqui says, ‘Latin Americans have a hunger to discover things themselves. They always have the latest sunglasses, trainers, hair styles, music and a love

Vik Muniz, Chocolate Portrait (2005) 21

of all things visual.’ When I ask why she thinks Latin American art has been overlooked, her response is that ‘Americans were looking North and Latin Americans were in dialogue with Europe. But there were crossovers – look at artists like Ellsworth Kelly, who would have been aware of Latin American Neo-Geo and what about artists like Jackson Pollock who hung out with artists like Siqueiros when he moved to New York.’

She pauses. ‘Above all, it was the American psyche which was suppressing it. It was all a bit xenophobic.’

Has this really changed, I ask her? She reminds me that MoMA had a show of Reverón in 2007. I learn later, however, that it was only the fourth one-man show at MoMA by a Latin American artist. I look up the review in the New York Times and read critic Harland Cotter’s prophetic words: ‘Unless you have spotted his single smoke-puff of a painting in the Museum of Modern Art, Armando Reverón probably means nothing to you. Why should he? Reverón, who died in 1954, spent most of his life in a shack by the sea in his native Venezuela.’ Cotter’s conclusion though is more upbeat, ‘Whatever. The important point is that MoMA is pushing ahead in an effort to expand its definition of modernism to include the world. We may quibble over how it proceeds, but the forward, outward movement can only be good.

And Reverón is here, in a magnetic, bizarre and haunting show. He is an artist I think you will be glad to know.’

ARE THERE YOUNG and exciting artists she is looking at, I ask. ‘Yes!’ she says enthusiastically.

She lists a few. She recently bought a work by Brazilian artist Rivanne Neuenschwander, saying it reminded her of a sculpture already in her collection, by the late Argentinian artist Mira Schendel. She likes the work of the Venezuelan Javier Tellez; Melanie Smith, an American now living and working in Mexico City; Elias Crespin, the grandson of Gertrudis Goldsmith, aka Gego; Maria Fernanda Cardoso; and Magdalena Fernandez. I point out that many of these are women and she says, ‘I have an affinity with the feminine psyche’. Tiqui is not only buying contemporary Latin America. She recently bought a seminal work from the late Venezuelan Kineticist, Jesús Rafael Soto.

All too soon it is time to leave. A quick look at two Latin American portraits of Tiqui, a work in chocolate by Vik Muniz and an earlier vibrant painting by Botero. She interjects when I peer at the Botero’s chubby faced likeness, ‘Botero is a genius you know, I have been to all his studios.’

Later, on my way home, I have a text from Tiqui. ‘Has Luke [the photographer] managed to photograph the Doris Salcedo shoe work, near the Botero? It’s one of my favorites.’ Yes is the answer, and yes, Salcedo is next to Botero and none the worse for it. ■

OBJECT LESSON: LOT 165 WORDS RODMAN PRIMACK

THE ARGENTINIAN ARTIST Leandro Erlich is a master of trickery. Since receiving international acclaim at the Venice Biennale in 2001, he has been engaging audiences with his complex visual sleights of hand. He has exhibited at the Whitney Biennial, New York (2000), Centre d’Art Santa Monica, Barcelona (2003), MACRO Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Ramos (2006), Bienal de Sao Paulo (2004), and Prospect 1, the New Orleans Biennale (2008). Shattering Door (2009) is a marvelous example of his oeuvre. Here a wooden door appears to have been smashed by a thrown steel ball which lies below. A wooden door shattered? This is impossible and thus confounds the viewer. On close inspection the ‘door’ is painted mdf.

Like the ‘magical realist’ authors so identified with twentieth century Latin American literature, Vargas Llosa, Marquez, and Allende, Erlich’s work is about transforming what we can easily recognize and accept as real, into something unexpected. In another work, Window and Ladder – Too Late for Help (2008), in an empty field a window surrounded by a fragment of brick wall hangs in mid air, an escape ladder propped to the sill. In one of his most known and heralded works, Swimming Pool (2001), a swimming pool is mysteriously filled with people walking, talking, sitting comfortably under water… Something is not right.

The sense of fun and visual trickery characterising Erlich’s work masks a darker subtext. The late 70s and early 80s were a time of great political unease and fear in Argentina. In 1976 a military coup catapulted the country down a rabbit hole of darkness in which dissidents and opponents of the military junta as los desparecidos. Even as a child at this time Erlich could not have escaped the sensation of being in a state built like a house of mirrors where nothing was as it seemed. Erlich’s use of trompe l’oeil techniques and beautifully executed optical illusions reflect the nation’s utilisation of similar tactics. At once engaging, his work leaves one with a lingering sense of confusion, doubt and irony – humor replaced by a gnawing sense of ill-ease.

The Belgian Surrealist René Magritte may have died over forty years ago, but his influence lives on in the work of contemporary artists. Pictured here, the multi-layered The Human Condition (1933).

Italian artist, Michelangelo Pistoletto, a member of the Arte Povera movement, has been utilizing mirrors as a material since 1961. His installation of huge mirrors in this year’s Venice Biennale was enlivened by two intense performances where the mirrors were attacked by Pistoletto with a menacing looking sledge hammer.

22

Leandro Ehrlich says, ‘Looking means opening an infinite space of reality interpretation.’ It sounds confusing, until you let his works like Window and Ladder-Too Late for Help (2008) help you decipher the statement.

Ehrlich’s Shattering Door is a strangely unsettling work. Erlich is not the first contemporary artist to create spiders webs, both Vija Celmins and Jim Hodges have done so, but the wood’s materiality takes the disconnect to a different level.

PARIS

FIAC is the premier Parisian art fair, which follows closely after Frieze (October 22 - 25). This year 196 modern and contemporary art galleries from 21 different countries will vie for the viewer’s attention. It would be hard not to grin when confronted with George Condo’s Smiling Clown. When you escape from the Louvre and the art fair, Paris is full to bursting with great shows. The Pompidou has a retrospective of Pierre Soulages next to Jim Hodges and a Guy Maddin retrospective while at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris you can see the work of Albert Oehlen, and if that is not enough the Grand Palais has elder statesman Renoir au XXe siècle.

Damián Ortega was born in Mexico and now lives and works in Berlin. His first major solo museum show, Damián Ortega: Do It Yourself, continues at the ICA Boston until January 18, 2010. Included is this work (above) Cosmic Thing (2002) in which he disemboweled his own 1989 VW bug and displayed it as a twenty first century mobile. It was shown in Francesco Bonami’s Dreams and Conflicts – The Viewer’s Dictatorship, the Venice Biennale of 2003, which launched Ortega’s international career. Ortega says the idea evolved from the Mexican selfbuild culture where ‘we like to construct everything.’ He points out as an influence Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica, who used modular space and ‘whose work is about penetrating, the inside and the outside.’

In New Photography 2009 MoMA explores photography through the work of six artists, all of whom practice in different ways. Pictured here is Three Color Curl (CMY: Irvine, California, August 19, 2008, Fuji Crystal Archive Type C) by London-based multipractitioner artist Walead Beshty, who proves that photography can survive full abstraction. Daniel Gordon, Leslie Hewitt, Carter Mull, Sterling Ruby, and Sara VanDerBeek complete the group of selected artists.

MEXICO CITY

Cildo Meirieles’ brilliant show at Tate Modern was a revelation for many viewers. It is proving an equally big hit in Mexico City at MuAC (the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporaneo, until November 1, 2009.) It would add an extra dimension to see the exhibition on the continent which inspired many of the works, including the unforgettable sensory room, Volatile (1980 - 1994/2008). Mereiles told me that this work was influenced by memories of summer holidays in the middle of Brazil, where it would be so hot and dry the earth would appear to swallow up his toys when he threw them.

LONDON

John Baldessari: Pure Beauty at the Tate Modern (October 13, 2009 until January 10, 2010) is just one of a starry list of exhibitions celebrating the Frieze effect in London. I love the Magritte-like surrealism of this image, not to mention the Baldessari wit on display with the punster title, God Nose (1965.)

Here Kuitca uses the universal symbols derived from Ernst Neuferts’ Architects’ Data and the architect’s cyanotype method, commonly known as a blueprint, to render the spatial and equipment layouts of such varied spaces as a sex shop and a sausage factory.

“I was always fascinated by the Neufert, that architectural catalogue where the world is completely organized, measured, calculated. Taken to painting, any project connected with that cataloging spirit becomes totally absurd. Painting produces an enormous referential arbitrariness, while architecture does just the opposite.”

there titled Pascua

When Tina Modotti moved to Mexico in 1923 following the death of her first husband, she embarked on a journey that would transform her both personally and professionally. It was there that she transitioned from actress to photographer under the tutelage of her mentor and lover Edward Weston. While the current lot and its similarities to Weston’s notable still-lifes may suggest his professional influence on her, Sarah Lowe, in her introduction to Tina Modotti: Photographs, argues that it is perhaps more indicative of her influence on him. Taken in the 1920s, the subject and formal aesthetic are consistent with her floral studies beginning in 1925 and seem to foreshadow, rather than emulate, Weston’s vegetable still-lifes which he began in 1927. Like her other works of this period, Untitled (corn) demonstrates Modotti’s keen interest in Mexican culture and the products of the local working class.

(101 x 126.4 cm). Signed, dated ‘2008’ and numbered 10/10 in ink on a Certificate of Authenticity accompanying the work. PROVENANCE Bonni Benrubi Gallery, New York Estimate $ 1 0 , 0 0 0 - 1 5 , 0 0 0 Using his camera as a tool to investigate the effects of war and how it shapes both the architecture and culture of cities, Simon Norfolk here focuses on the Colombian city of Medellin and specifically the subject of Pablo Escobar’s soccer field. Despite Escobar’s involvement in the international drug trade and the violence it brought to Medellin until his death in 1993, he was granted cult status for funding civic projects throughout the city including the soccer field illustrated in the present lot. Norfolk’s urban night scene here provides a contrastingly calm perspective on the modern Medellin with little visual reminder that the city was at one point the center of the drug trafficking stage.

The image further highlights the photographer’s strength in transforming areas devastated by war and conflict into visually beautiful compositions.

“Tamayo openly and freely melded modernist concepts and practices from Mexico, Europe, and the United States: his fusion modernism forged links between the Mexican School, the New York School, and European figure painting of the 1940s and 1950s… Tamayo was committed to the human experience as the primary subject of art, while remaining dedicated to the modernist ethos of formal experimentation.”

D. C. du Pont, Tamayo: A Modern Icon Reinterpreted, Miami, 2007

Born of Zapotec decent in Oaxaca, Mexico in 1899, Rufino Tamayo is considered one of the most important Mexican painters of the twentieth century. Heavily influenced by both Cubism and Fauvism in his art, Tamayo also integrated anthropological themes distinctive of his Mesoamerican cultural identity.

Tamayo was an outsider in post Revolutionary Mexico. Politically neutral and opposing his Mexican contemporaries’ commitment to public art, evidenced in the murals of Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, Tamayo preferred to keep his artwork unrelated and separate from the tumultuous political climate. The subjects of his artwork tended more towards everyday domesticity and humanity, as seen through his still lifes, figurative works and interior scenes.

In Mujer en un interior, Tamayo skillfully depicts a nude female figure in a Pre-Columbian style standing amidst an abstract and minimalist interior. Her torso faces the viewer while her face and legs are at a profile—a nod to Tamayo’s Pre-Columbian stylistic sensibilities.

Framed by the doorway, the lone figure is twisted, hand reaching for what appears to be a door knob. An alarm clock sits on a pedestal in the back corner of the room taking time further dramatizing the tension of the scene. Overall, the use of a dark color palate, the strong lines delineating the interior architecture of the room and the abstract female figure bring focus to the enigmatic narrative of the painting.

Mujer en un interior is a quintessential example of Tamayo’s paintings. The artist harmoniously and elegantly marries minimalism and abstraction with Pre-Columbian forms creating a characteristic style that is distinctively his. Drawing on Mexican folk art and ceramics for their forms, rich use of color and texture and themes, Tamayo brings these historical tendencies to contemporary relevance by also incorporating sophisticated compositions more closely indebted to Cubism.

Born in Jalisco, Mexico in 1983, José Clemente Orozco is considered a Mexican Social Realist painter. While attending the Academia de San Carlos, in Mexico City, Orozco would visit the workshop of the elderly artist José Guadalupe Posada, whose popular-culture imagery was driven by social, political, and tabloid themes. During the Mexican Revolution (Revolución Mexicana), Orozco was politically very active and witnessed its horrors first hand. He became a political cartoonist, publishing most of his work in local newspapers. Throughout his career he combined painting with drawing and lithography while being in an ideal position to observe human suffering to illustrate how diffi cult it would be for Mexican people to obtain social justice.

The present painting ‘Naturaleza Muerta (Autorretrato)’, which was created in the last years of his life, is a still life in which the artist depicts himself. The subject matter captures a moment where Orozco is just in the process of portraying himself. Still life—as a genre— usually represents commonplace objects which may be either natural or man-made. In Orozco’s still life he implements his persona into the scenery. The composition is fractured in different color planes, which are loosely and expressionistic applied with visible brushstrokes. His style is reminiscent of Late-Cubism and his major influence of Symbolism becomes evident—referencing his political attitude as well as his childhood accident when loosing his left hand.

“A key to understanding Orozco’s work is an awareness of the relation between the artist’s passionate idealism and his pessimism. Spain’s greatest filmmaker, the late Luis Buñuel, declared that ‘man is never free, yet he fights for what he can never be, and that is tragic.’Orozco’s sense of the human condition was based on a similar conviction of tragic impasse. ‘To have a tragic vision in the Americas is extremely diffi cult,’ says Mexican writer Carlos Fuentes, ‘because we were founded as the Brave New World of happiness, the great utopia. So when a writer like Faulkner breaks through the optimism of the United States, or a painter like Orozco breaks through the promise of Mexico of the New World, it is a very striking event.’ Through his art Orozco shared his trauma and his anger, which he insisted over and over, in many forms, is our trauma and should be our anger. ‘Painting,’ Orozco believed, ‘assails the mind. It persuades the heart.’”

“In a world in which the culture of the phallus has been imposed, and the vagina denigrated to the point of being seen as vulgar or pornographic, arises the proposal of its vindication.”

Carlos Enriquez-Gonzalez

Carlos Enriquez-Gonzalez creates exciting works that blur the boundaries between the fantasy of comics and high art. The artist uses symbols that reflect his own intimate world such as mushrooms, eyes, monsters, brains, sacred elements and sexual organs which blend his concerns with energy, power, intuition and multidimensionality. In the present lot, Magical Vagina, the artist embodies the idea of the vagina as the giver of life—a symbolic portal through which we go from one world to another. The sensational female shape with enchanting eye, atop the strong stance of the figure’s psychedelic colored encephalic body is both confrontational and mesmerizing painted in shimmering magenta. Through this hypnotic work, the artist deals with themes of birth and transformation in a fantastically singular and sublime manner.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS BUYING AT AUCTION The following pages are designed to offer you information on how to buy at auction at Phillips de Pury & Company. Our staff will be happy to assist you.

CONDITIONS OF SALE The Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty which appear later in this catalogue govern the auction. Bidders are strongly encouraged to read them as they outline the legal relationship among Phillips, the seller and the buyer and describe the terms upon which property is bought at auction. Please be advised that Phillips de Pury & Company generally acts as agent for the seller.

BUYER’S PREMIUM Phillips de Pury & Company charges the successful bidder a commission, or buyer’s premium, on the hammer price of each lot sold. The buyer’s premium is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price at the following rates: 25% of the hammer price up to and including $50,000, 20% of the portion of the hammer price above $50,000 up to and including $1,000,000 and 12% of the portion of the hammer price above $1,000,000.

1 PRIOR TO AUCTION Catalogue Subscriptions If you would like to purchase a catalogue for this auction or any other Phillips de Pury & Company sale, please contact us at +1 212 940 1240 or +44 20 7318 4010.

Pre-Sale Estimates Pre-Sale estimates are intended as a guide for prospective buyers. Any bid within the high and low estimate range should, in our opinion, offer a chance of success. However, many lots achieve prices below or above the pre-sale estimates.

Where “Estimate on Request” appears, please contact the specialist department for further information. It is advisable to contact us closer to the time of the auction as estimates can be subject to revision. Pre-sale estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or any applicable taxes.

Pre-Sale Estimates In Pounds Sterling And Euros Although the sale is conducted in US dollars, the pre-sale estimates in the auction catalogues may also be printed in pounds sterling and/or euros. Since the exchange rate is that at the time of catalogue production and not at the date of auction, you should treat estimates in pounds sterling or euros as a guide only.

Catalogue Entries Phillips may print in the catalogue entry the history of ownership of a work of art, as well as the exhibition history of the property and references to the work in art publications.

While we are careful in the cataloguing process, provenance, exhibition and literature references may not be exhaustive and in some cases we may intentionally refrain from disclosing the identity of previous owners. Please note that all dimensions of the property set forth in the catalogue entry are approximate.

Condition Of Lots Our catalogues include references to condition only in the descriptions of multiple works (e.g., prints). Such references, though, do not amount to a full description of condition.

The absence of reference to the condition of a lot in the catalogue entry does not imply that the lot is free from faults or imperfections. Solely as a convenience to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company may provide condition reports. In preparing such reports, our specialists assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the property and the nature of the auction in which it is included. While condition reports are prepared honestly and carefully, our staff are not professional restorers or trained conservators. We therefore encourage all prospective buyers to inspect the property at the pre-sale exhibitions and recommend, particularly in the case of any lot of significant value, that you retain your own restorer or professional advisor to report to you on the property’s condition prior to bidding. Any prospective buyer of photographs or prints should always request a condition report because all such property is sold unframed, unless otherwise indicated in the condition report. If a lot is sold framed, Phillips de Pury & Company accepts no liability for the condition of the frame. If we sell any lot unframed, we will be pleased to refer the purchaser to a professional framer.

Pre-Auction Viewing Pre-auction viewings are open to the public and free of charge.

Our specialists are available to give advice and condition reports at viewings or by appointment.

Electrical And Mechanical Lots All lots with electrical and/or mechanical features are sold on the basis of their decorative value only and should not be assumed to be operative. It is essential that, prior to any intended use, the electrical system is verified and approved by a qualified electrician.

Pury & Company, by a third party or jointly by us and a third party. Phillips de Pury & Company and third parties providing or participating in a guarantee may benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful. ∆ Property In Which Phillips De Pury & Company Has An Ownership Interest Lots with this symbol indicate that Phillips de Pury & Company owns the lot in whole or in part or has an economic interest in the lot equivalent to an ownership interest.

•

No Reserve Unless indicated by a , all lots in this catalogue are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confidential value established between Phillips de Pury & Company and the seller and below which a lot may not be sold. The reserve for each lot is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate and will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate.

•

2 BIDDING IN THE SALE Bidding At Auction Bids may be executed during the auction in person by paddle or by telephone or prior to the sale in writing by absentee bid.

BIDDING IN PERSON To bid in person, you will need to register for and collect a paddle before the auction begins. Proof of identity in the form of government issued identification will be required, as will an original signature. We may also require that you furnish us with a bank reference. New clients are encouraged to register at least 48 hours in advance of a sale to allow sufficient time for us to process your information. All lots sold will be invoiced to the name and address to which the paddle has been registered and invoices cannot be transferred to other names and addresses. Please do not misplace your paddle. In the event you lose it, inform a Phillips de Pury & Company staff member immediately. At the end of the auction, please return your paddle to the registration desk.

Bidding By Telephone If you cannot attend the auction, you may bid live on the telephone with one of our multi-lingual staff members.

This service must be arranged at least 24 hours in advance of the sale and is available for lots whose low pre-sale estimate is at least $1000. Telephone bids may be recorded.

By bidding on the telephone, you consent to the recording of your conversation. We suggest that you leave a maximum bid, excluding the buyer’s premium and any applicable taxes, which we can execute on your behalf in the event we are unable to reach you by telephone.

Absentee Bids If you are unable to attend the auction and cannot participate by telephone, Phillips de Pury & Company will be happy to execute written bids on your behalf. A bidding form can be found at the back of this catalogue. This service is free and confidential. Bids must be placed in the currency of the sale.

Our staff will attempt to execute an absentee bid at the lowest possible price taking into account the reserve and other bidders. Always indicate a maximum bid, excluding the buyer’s premium and any applicable taxes. Unlimited bids will not be accepted. Any absentee bid must be received at least 24 hours in advance of the sale. In the event of identical bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence.

Employee Bidding Employees of Phillips de Pury & Company and our affiliated companies, including the auctioneer, may bid at the auction by placing absentee bids so long as they do not know the reserve when submitting their absentee bids and otherwise comply with our employee bidding procedures.

Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens below the low estimate and advances in increments of up to 10%, subject to the auctioneer’s discretion. Absentee bids that do not conform to the increments set below may be lowered to the next bidding increment. $50 to $1,000 $1,000 to $2,000 $2,000 to $3,000 $3,000 to $5,000 $5,000 to $10,000 $10,000 to $20,000 $20,000 to $30,000 $30,000 to $50,000 $50,000 to $100,000 $100,000 to $200,000 above $200,000

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.

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.

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.

Telephone bids may be recorded and, by bidding on the telephone, a bidder consents to the recording of the conversation. (d) When making a bid, whether in person, by absentee bid or on the telephone, a bidder accepts personal liability to pay the purchase price, as described more fully in Paragraph 6 (a) below, plus all other applicable charges unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Phillips de Pury & Company before the commencement of the auction that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Phillips de Pury & Company and that we will only look to the principal for such payment.

3 CATALOGUE DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION OF PROPERTY Lots are sold subject to the Authorship Warranty, as described in the catalogue (unless such description is changed or supplemented, as provided in Paragraph 1 above) and in the condition that they are in at the time of the sale on the following basis. (a) The knowledge of Phillips de Pury & Company in relation to each lot is partially dependent on information provided to us by the seller, and Phillips de Pury & Company is not able to and does not carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers acknowledge this fact and accept responsibility for carrying out inspections and investigations to satisfy themselves as to the lots in which they may be interested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall exercise such reasonable care when making express statements in catalogue descriptions or condition reports as is consistent with our role as auctioneer of lots in this sale and in light of (i) the information provided to us by the seller, (ii) scholarship and technical knowledge and (iii) the generally accepted opinions of relevant experts, in each case at the time any such express statement is made. (b) Each lot offered for sale at Phillips de Pury & Company is available for inspection by prospective buyers prior to the auction. Phillips de Pury & Company accepts bids on lots on the basis that bidders (and independent experts on their behalf, to the extent appropriate given the nature and value of the lot and the bidder’s own expertise) have fully inspected the lot prior to bidding and have satisfied themselves as to both the condition of the lot and the accuracy of its description. (c) Prospective buyers acknowledge that many lots are of an age and type which means that they are not in perfect condition. As a courtesy to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company may prepare and provide condition reports to assist prospective buyers when they are inspecting lots. Catalogue descriptions and condition reports may make reference to particular imperfections of a lot, but bidders should note that lots may have other faults not expressly referred to in the catalogue or condition report. All dimensions are approximate.

Illustrations are for identification purposes only and cannot be used as precise indications of size or to convey full information as to the actual condition of lots. (d) Information provided to prospective buyers in respect of any lot, including any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by Phillips de Pury & Company. Any pre-sale estimate may not be relied on as a prediction of the selling price or value of the lot and may be revised from time to time by Phillips de Pury & Company in our absolute discretion. Neither Phillips de Pury & Company nor any of our affiliated companies shall be liable for any difference between the pre-sale estimates for any lot and the actual price achieved at auction or upon resale.

4 BIDDING AT AUCTION (a) Phillips de Pury & Company has absolute discretion to refuse admission to the auction or participation in the sale.

All bidders must register for a paddle prior to bidding, supplying such information and references as required by Phillips de Pury & Company. (b) As a convenience to bidders who cannot attend the auction in person, Phillips de Pury & Company may, if so

(e) Arranging absentee and telephone bids is a free service provided by Phillips de Pury & Company to prospective buyers.

While we undertake to exercise reasonable care in undertaking such activity, we cannot accept liability for failure to execute such bids except where such failure is caused by our willful misconduct. (f) Employees of Phillips de Pury & Company and our affiliated companies, including the auctioneer, may bid at the auction by placing absentee bids so long as they do not know the reserve when submitting their absentee bids and otherwise comply with our employee bidding procedures.

5 CONDUCT OF THE AUCTION each lot is (a) Unless otherwise indicated by the symbol offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum selling price agreed by Phillips de Pury & Company with the seller. The reserve will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate at the time of the auction.

•

(b)The auctioneer has discretion at any time to refuse any bid, withdraw any lot, re-offer a lot for sale (including after the fall of the hammer) if he or she believes there may be error or dispute and take such other action as he or she deems reasonably appropriate. (c) The auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he or she considers appropriate.

In order to protect the reserve on any lot, the auctioneer may place one or more bids on behalf of the seller up to the reserve without indicating he or she is doing so, either by placing consecutive bids or bids in response to other bidders. (d) The sale will be conducted in US dollars and payment is due in US dollars. For the benefit of international clients, pre-sale estimates in the auction catalogue may be shown in pounds sterling and/or euros and, if so, will reflect approximate exchange rates. Accordingly, estimates in pounds sterling or euros should be treated only as a guide. (e) Subject to the auctioneer’s reasonable discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of the hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the seller and the buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot passes to the buyer as set forth in Paragraph 7 below. (f) If a lot is not sold, the auctioneer will announce that it has been “passed,” “withdrawn,” “returned to owner” or “bought-in.” (g) Any post-auction sale of lots offered at auction shall incorporate these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty as if sold in the auction.

6 PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT (a) The buyer agrees to pay us, in addition to the hammer price of the lot, the buyer’s premium and any applicable sales tax (the “Purchase Price”). The buyer’s premium is 25% of the hammer price up to and including $50,000, 20% of the portion of the hammer price above $50,000 up to and including $1,000,000 and 12% of the portion of the hammer price above $1,000,000. (b) Sales tax, use tax and excise and other taxes are payable in accordance with applicable law. All prices, fees, charges and expenses set out in these Conditions of Sale are quoted exclusive of applicable taxes. Phillips de Pury & Company will only accept valid resale certificates from US dealers as proof

(d) Title in a purchased lot will not pass until Phillips de Pury & Company has received the Purchase Price for that lot in cleared funds. Phillips de Pury & Company is not obliged to release a lot to the buyer until title in the lot has passed and appropriate identification has been provided, and any earlier release does not affect the passing of title or the buyer’s unconditional obligation to pay the Purchase Price.

7 COLLECTION OF PROPERTY (a) Phillips de Pury & Company will not release a lot to the buyer until we have received payment of its Purchase Price in full in cleared funds, the buyer has paid all outstanding amounts due to Phillips de Pury & Company or any of our affiliated companies, including any charges payable pursuant to Paragraph 8 (a) below, and the buyer has satisfied such other terms as we in our sole discretion shall require, including completing any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks. As soon as a buyer has satisfied all of the foregoing conditions, he or she should contact our Shipping Department at +1 212 940 1372 or +1 212 940 1373 to arrange for collection of purchased property. (b) The buyer must arrange for collection of a purchased lot within five days of the date of the auction.

(c) As a courtesy to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company will, without charge, wrap purchased lots for hand carry only. We will, at the buyer’s expense, either provide packing, handling, insurance and shipping services or coordinate with shipping agents instructed by the buyer in order to facilitate such services for property bought at Phillips de Pury & Company.

& Company, upon notice, to arrange a resale of the item by auction or private sale, with estimates and a reserve set at Phillips de Pury & Company’s reasonable discretion. The proceeds of such sale will be applied to pay for storage charges and any other outstanding costs and expenses owed by the buyer to Phillips de Pury & Company or our affiliated companies and the remainder will be forfeited unless collected by the buyer within two years of the original auction.

9 REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT (a) Without prejudice to any rights the seller may have, if the buyer without prior agreement fails to make payment of the Purchase Price for a lot in cleared funds within five days of the auction, Phillips de Pury & Company may in our sole discretion exercise one or more of the following remedies: (i) store the lot at Phillips de Pury & Company’s premises or elsewhere at the buyer’s sole risk and expense at the same rates as set forth in Paragraph 8 (a) above; (ii) cancel the sale of the lot, retaining any partial payment of the Purchase Price as liquidated damages; (iii) reject future bids from the buyer or render such bids subject to payment of a deposit; (iv) charge interest at 12% per annum from the date payment became due until the date the Purchase Price is received in cleared funds; (v) subject to notification of the buyer, exercise a lien over any of the buyer’s property which is in the possession of Phillips de Pury & Company and instruct our affiliated companies to exercise a lien over any of the buyer’s property which is in their possession and, in each case, no earlier than 30 days from the date of such notice, arrange the sale of such property and apply the proceeds to the amount owed to Phillips de Pury & Company or any of our affiliated companies after the deduction from sale proceeds of our standard vendor’s commission and all sale-related expenses; (vi) resell the lot by auction or private sale, with estimates and a reserve set at Phillips de Pury & Company’s reasonable discretion, it being understood that in the event such resale is for less than the original hammer price and buyer’s premium for that lot, the buyer will remain liable for the shortfall together with all costs incurred in such resale; (vii) commence legal proceedings to recover the hammer price and buyer’s premium for that lot, together with interest and the costs of such proceedings; or (viii) release the name and address of the buyer to the seller to enable the seller to commence legal proceedings to recover the amounts due and legal costs. (b) As security to us for full payment by the buyer of all outstanding amounts due to Phillips de Pury & Company and our affiliated companies, Phillips de Pury & Company retains, and the buyer grants to us, a security interest in each lot purchased at auction by the buyer and in any other property or money of the buyer in, or coming into, our possession or the possession of one of our affiliated companies. We may apply such money or deal with such property as the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law permits a secured creditor to do. In the event that we exercise a lien over property in our possession because the buyer is in default to one of our affiliated companies, we will so notify the buyer.

Our security interest in any individual lot will terminate upon actual delivery of the lot to the buyer or the buyer’s agent. (c) In the event the buyer is in default of payment to any of our affiliated companies, the buyer also irrevocably authorizes Phillips de Pury & Company to pledge the buyer’s property in our possession by actual or constructive delivery to our affiliated company as security for the payment of any outstanding amount due. Phillips de Pury & Company will notify the buyer if the buyer’s property has been delivered to an affiliated company by way of pledge.

10 RESCISSION BY PHILLIPS de PURY & COMPANY Phillips de Pury & Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to rescind a sale without notice to the buyer if we reasonably believe that there is a material breach of the seller’s representations and warranties or the Authorship Warranty or an adverse claim is made by a third party. Upon notice of Phillips de Pury & Company’s election to rescind the sale, the buyer will promptly return the lot to Phillips de Pury & Company, and we will then refund the Purchase Price paid to us. As described more fully in Paragraph 13 below, the refund shall constitute the sole remedy and recourse of the buyer against Phillips de Pury & Company and the seller with respect to such rescinded sale..

11 EXPORT, IMPORT AND ENDANGERED SPECIES LICENSES AND PERMITS Before bidding for any property, prospective buyers are advised to make their own inquiries as to whether a license is required to export a lot from the United States or to import it into another country. Prospective buyers are advised that some countries prohibit the import of property made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, irrespective of age, percentage or value. Accordingly, prior to bidding, prospective buyers considering export of purchased lots should familiarize themselves with relevant export and import regulations of the countries concerned. It is solely the buyer’s responsibility to comply with these laws and to obtain any necessary export, import and endangered species licenses or permits. Failure to obtain a license or permit or delay in so doing will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot.

12 CLIENT INFORMATION In connection with the management and operation of our business and the marketing and supply of auction related

services, or as required by law, we may ask clients to provide personal information about themselves or obtain information about clients from third parties (e.g., credit information).

AUTHORSHIP WARRANTY Phillips de Pury & Company warrants the authorship of property in this auction catalogue for a period of five years from date of sale by Phillips de Pury & Company, subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth below. (a) Phillips de Pury & Company gives this Authorship Warranty only to the original buyer of record (i.e., the registered successful bidder) of any lot. This Authorship Warranty does not extend to (i) subsequent owners of the property, including purchasers or recipients by way of gift from the original buyer, heirs, successors, beneficiaries and assigns; (ii) property created prior to 1870, unless the property is determined to be counterfeit (defined as a forgery made less than 50 years ago with an intent to deceive) and has a value at the date of the claim under this warranty which is materially less than the Purchase Price paid; (iii) property where the description in the catalogue states that there is a conflict of opinion on the authorship of the property; (iv) property where our attribution of authorship was on the date of sale consistent with the generally accepted opinions of specialists, scholars or other experts; or (v) property whose description or dating is proved inaccurate by means of scientific methods or tests not generally accepted for use at the time of the publication of the catalogue or which were at such time deemed unreasonably expensive or impractical to use. (b) In any claim for breach of the Authorship Warranty, Phillips de Pury & Company reserves the right, as a condition to rescinding any sale under this warranty, to require the buyer to provide to us at the buyer’s expense the written opinions of two recognized experts approved in advance by Phillips de Pury & Company.

This remedy shall constitute the sole remedy and recourse of the buyer against Phillips de Pury & Company, any of our affiliated companies and the seller and is in lieu of any other remedy available as a matter of law. This means that none of Phillips de Pury & Company, any of our affiliated companies or the seller shall be liable for loss or damage beyond the remedy expressly provided in this Authorship Warranty, whether such loss or damage is characterized as direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential, or for the payment of interest on the original Purchase Price.

(c) These Conditions of Sale are not assignable by any buyer without our prior written consent but are binding on the buyer’s successors, assigns and representatives. (d) Should any provision of these Conditions of Sale be held void, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

AMÉRICA LATINA y su única mezcla cultural son más importantes y vibrantes hoy que nunca. En Phillips de Pury & Company, nos complace ser los primeros en destacar a los artistas más fantásticos y prometedores de todo el mundo. Durante los últimos años, el excepcional talento que surge de América Latina ha estallado en el mundo artístico internacional. Tanto es así que sentimos que este fenómeno se merecía una mirada mucho más enfocada desde la perspectiva comercial. Es por eso que estamos estrenando con este catálogo y venta lo que esperamos se convierta en un evento anual.

Como siempre, los coleccionistas privados bien informados nos han enseñado cómo hacerlo.

Entre ellas, algunas damas magníficas como Rosa de la Cruz, Patricia Phelps de Cisneros o Tiqui Atencio han emprendido el camino para lograr una mayor exposición internacional para el mejor arte de América Latina y promovieron una gran apreciación del mejor arte contemporáneo de América Latina. Estamos muy agradecidos con Tiqui Atencio por habernos concedido una entrevista en la que sería la casa de mis sueños tipo James Bond, en algún lugar de Francia. Conocí a Tiqui hace algunos años cuando, en una vida anterior yo trabajaba en Sotheby’s. Su belleza y la vivacidad de sus ojos me impactaron inmediatamente.

Muy pronto me di cuenta de que aquellos ojos tenían una capacidad muy aguda de descubrir la mejor calidad. Su entusiasmo y pasión por el arte se compensan con su compromiso de alcanzar una audiencia mayor para el arte de América Latina. El apoyo activo hacia sus amigos de América Latina en Tate Modern es sólo una expresión de esto.

La total originalidad de los trabajos de Vik Muniz me atrajo desde la primera vez que los vi.

En mi gran arrogancia, pensé que sería genial que él hiciera mi retrato. Cuando se lo comenté me hizo la siguiente pregunta: ‘¿color chocolate o rojo sangre?’ Como suizo y adicto al chocolate en primer lugar, tiendo a verme más natural en chocolate, pero como claramente prefiero el rojo intenso, entonces respondí ‘rojo sangre’. Vik no quería hacer un aburrido y apagado retrato, así que de repente hizo una pistola que me pidió que sostuviera al estilo 007.

El resultado es un retrato que espero que mis nietos puedan apreciar de alguna manera.

Lo que realmente nos complace en Phillips de Pury es haber vendido "Marat Dead", la fabulosa obra central de la conmovedora película You, Me, Garbage and Picasso, realizada por Karen Harley, de Vik Muniz. ¡Todo esto y mucho, mucho más gracias a AMÉRICA LATINA!
