N.B. Hockney is a virtual jack-of-all-trades, embracing both traditional and newer media—from acrylic paint to PhotoShop— and working as a painter, print-maker, photographer, and even a set designer. He is considered one of Britain’s most dominant Pop artists, although it is a categorization that he dislikes. From 1984 through 1987 Hockney created the series Moving Focus. What makes this series of twenty-nine prints unusual is the seeming disconnect of the subjects of the works. They include interior views, portraits, and still lifes, and vary wildly in size. The title of the series discloses the unifying principal: each plays with the depiction of space and the potential for multiple points of view. The series has been described as “Hockney’s dialogue with Picasso.” Caribbean Tea Time employs simple lines and blocks of bright, saturated color to depict an interior with a shifting, Cubist space that is both highly descriptive and playfully vertiginous. The sense is heightened by the scale of the work, and the fact that as a floor screen, it is generally viewed accordioned rather than flat so that our space and the screen’s interpenetrate. $40,000-60,000

106 Ansel Adams (American, 1902-1984) Mount Williamson, Sierra Nevada from Manzanar, California, 1944, printed 1970s. Signed “Ansel Adams� in pencil l.r., titled and dated in pencil with Carmel credit stamp on the mount verso, identified on a label from the Robert Klein Gallery, Boston, affixed to the backing. Gelatin silver print mounted to board, image/sheet size 15 1/4 x 18 1/8 in. (38.6 x 45.8 cm), framed. Condition: Good.
N.B. Ansel Adams was affiliated with f/64, an informal group of photographers dedicated to the belief that photography should emphasize its unique capabilities rather than emulating other artistic mediums. Taking the natural environment as their primary subject, the members used large-format view cameras to produce sharply detailed, high contrast photographs that celebrate both form and personal expression.
In 1943 and 1944, Adams made several trips to the Manzanar Relocation Center, located at the foot of Mount Williamson, where Japanese and Japanese-American citizens were interned after the attack on Pearl Harbor. In what he considered to be one of his best images, Adams captured a view of Mount Williamson highlighted by clouds and beams of sunlight and foregrounded by a dramatic field of boulders. While Adams truly believed that the majestic mountain range provided the internees a reprieve from their situation, the impassable rocks might also be interpreted as a metaphor for their imprisonment. $15,000-25,000

Cola Nut, Goora Nut, 1989, from the series Angola to Vietnam*, in an edition of 5. Titled, dated, numbered, and signed “...5/5 Williams” in pencil on the verso along bottom edge, identified on a label from Luhring Augustine, New York, affixed to the backing. Gelatin silver print on Agfa paper, image size 13 1/4 x 10 in. (33.5 x 25.2 cm), framed. Condition: Good. Provenance: Estate of Richard E. Anderson, New York, New York/Redding, Connecticut. N.B. Christopher Williams is a conceptual artist and fine art photographer whose work investigates the medium of photography, as well as the institutional world of archives and museums as demonstrated by his portfolio Angola to Vietnam*. The photographs in the series capture flower replicas from the Harvard Botanical Museum’s Ware Collection of Blaschka Glass Models, made between 1887 and 1936. As stated by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, where Williams’s work was the subject of a major retrospective in 2014, “by choosing to photograph glass flower models from countries where political disappearances were recorded in 1985, Williams reclassifies them by country of origin rather than by the museum’s system. Over the institution’s botanical classification, based on science, the artist proposes another, based on politics, underlining the biased nature of any classification system.1 1. www. moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/1999/muse/ artist_pages/williams_vietnam.html

202 Guercino (Italian, 1591-1666) Study for St. John the Baptist Unsigned. Brown ink and wash on paper, 10 1/2 x 7 5/8 in. (26.5 x 19.2 cm), framed. Condition: Sheet lined with laid paper backing, tears and losses to the l.r. quadrant, toning, staining. N.B. This study for St. John the Baptist has been reviewed by Dr. Nicholas Turner from high resolution photographs. Dr. Turner believes the work to be a newly rediscovered, authentic drawing by Guercino, made in preparation for his oil painting, St. John the Baptist, now on permanent display in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna. Guercino’s Vienna picture, created for the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinando III in 1641, was the most prestigious commission of the artist’s career. Dr. Turner writes, “Guercino’s pen-and-ink drawings from the early 1640s, like this example, are powerful and fast-paced in execution and have long been admired for their energy.” Dr. Turner continues that the single largest group of Guercino’s drawings to have remained together are now in the Royal Library of Windsor Castle, purchased from Guercino’s heirs in the late 1750s. The Windsor collection includes a copy of the study at hand, which Dr. Turner now believes to be a facsimile copy made by Francesco Bartolozzi (Italian, 1727-1815). 202

203 Spanish School–Aragonese, 15th Century Mary Magdalene Enthroned, Holding an Unguent Jar and Rosary Unsigned. Egg tempera and gilt on panel, 19 1/8 x 15 7/8 in. (48.8 x 40.3 cm), framed. Condition: Undulating warping to the panel, panel backed with a wax lining and fabric reinforcement running horizontally across the middle of the reverse with a corresponding line of craquelure on the recto; horizontal crack 4 1/2 to 5 inches down from the top edge of the panel running about half way across the panel, presenting as a jagged tear to the u.l. on the recto; the painted surface is irregular, with three round raised spots occurring on a vertical axis along the left side; retouch which does not fluoresce.
Provenance: Purchased in Madrid before 1977, by descent within the family of the current owner. N.B. During the first decades of the fifteenth century, coinciding with the early Italian Renaissance but unrelated to that movement, Flanders became an influential force in European painting. The spread of Flemish artistic models affected an important stylistic change in European Gothic art, particularly among the artists active in the Hispanic kingdoms, as displayed in the painting at hand from Aragon in northeastern Spain. The phrase “Hispano-Flemish” is used to describe the hybridized visual tradition that combined Flemish artistic innovation with the localized traditions of the various Iberian kingdoms, resulting in artworks that are neither quintessentially Netherlandish nor Spanish.
A synthesis of International Gothic, in its Spanish form, and the influence of the great Flemish masters of the fifteenth century, the Hispano-Flemish style was prevalent throughout the latter half of the fifteenth century, rising and falling in popularity and influence in different geographical areas. The Hispano-Flemish style was developed by both Netherlandish immigrant artists and by Spanish artists incorporating Northern European aesthetics into their practice, reflecting the socio-political and economic networks between Spain and the Low Countries. In the east, under Alphonso V of Aragon and his successors, Italian and Flemish influences were blended. The combination of Northern and Spanish influences in this work include the crisp lines of drapery and the interior setting more typical of the north, with the southern influence of the reverence of Mary Magdalene, here shown enthroned in a way more typical of a Madonna and Child. $30,000-50,000

263 Albert Bierstadt (American, 1830-1902) Butterfly Signed and dated “Albert Bierstadt/May 29/90” l.r. Oil and pencil on paper, sight size 6 1/4 x 7 3/4 in. (15.8 x 19.7 cm), matted, framed. Condition: Sheet laid down on mat, deckled upper edge, vertical crease to center (as part of the artist’s process), discoloration to center possibly due to oils in paint soaking into paper, rippling to right edge, small dog-ear fold to u.r. corner, toning, foxing, scattered stains, scattered minor handling creases.
Provenance: Gift from the artist to Paul A. Putzki; by descent to Dr. Paul S. Putzki, Washington, DC, circa 1936; by descent to Pauletta Putzki Evans, circa 1970; by descent to Susan Evans Middleton and Eleanor Evans, 2015.
A pencil touch added the antennae, that artist’s autograph was added to the corner, and now we each of us own a painting by Bierstadt.” (Gordon Hendricks, Albert Bierstadt: Painter of the American West [New York: Abrams, 1974], pp. 302-3).
N.B. Bierstadt often gifted friends and acquaintances with small artworks made on the spot, like this butterfly. In 1892, a journalist from the Detroit Free Press was invited to the artist’s studio with a select group. She reported: “We women were so glad we were women that afternoon, for Mr. Bierstadt presented each lady with a souvenir. This is how he made them. We all clustered about the table and he took out a palette, a knife and some large slips of cartridge paper. Two or three daubs of pigment on the paper, a quick fold, and holding it still folded against a pane of glass, he made two or three strokes of that wizard-like palette knife on the outside, and hey, presto! a wonderful Brazilian butterfly or moth, even the veining on the wings complete!
Bierstadt painted this butterfly in the Washington, DC, studio of fellow GermanAmerican artist Paul A. Putzki (1859-1936) on May 29, 1890. Putzki had come to Washington at the request of First Lady Caroline Harrison, who had studied watercolor and china painting with Putzki in Indianapolis and wished Putzki to teach classes at the White House. Putzki’s floral studies, many of which were painted in the White House conservatories while the orchids were in bloom, met with particular success in Washington. $12,000-18,000

326
Provenance: The estate of Frimi Sagan, Dedham, Massachusetts. N.B. The drawing was reviewed by Dr. Joachim Pissarro, and it will be included in the forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of Drawings by Camille Pissarro. In a letter that accompanies the lot, Dr. Pissarro suggests that Camille Pissarro executed this drawing in the surroundings of Chennevières, on the banks of the river Marne. The work is closely related to another study of a river landscape with boats in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. The two drawings, which are on gray paper of identical size, might have been from the same sketching tablet. Dr. Pissarro suggests a date of c. 1865 for the drawing, corresponding to Pissarro’s second stay in the town of Varenne-Saint-Hilaire near Chennevières. At that time, the artist executed a related oil painting, Banks of the Marne at Chennevières, which is cataloged as no. 103 in the Pissarro & Durand Ruel Catalogue Raisonné and which was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1865. $10,000-15,000 327 Henri Dreyfus-Lemaitre (French, 18591946)

331 Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841-1919) and Richard Guino (Spanish, 1890-1973) Tête de Vénus (Variante de la petite Vénus) Signed “Renoir” on the back of the base. Terra-cotta, height 5 7/8 in. (15.0 cm), on a black stone plinth. Condition: Surface grime, pinhole to back of the head, just above the bun. N.B. The work is accompanied by a Certificat d’Authenticité prepared and signed by Corinne Guino, wife of Michel Guino, son of the artist Richard Guino. Mme. Guino reports that this collaborative work Renoir-Guino was executed in 1913. A cast was included in the exhibition of sculpture by Renoir and Guino, organized by descendants of both artists, held in Paris at Hôtel Le Bristol in November 1974 on the occasion of the centenary of Impressionism, and it is illustrated in the catalog for the exhibition.
In his later years, with some nudging from the dealer Ambroise Vollard, Renoir began to create sculptures, but the severe crippling of his hands with arthritis made it impossible. Seeking to support the artist in this new and likely lucrative endeavor, Vollard sought a sculptor who might serve as Renoir’s assistant. He found a young Catalan artist, Richard Guino, who, since 1910, had been working for Aristide Maillol, a sculptor whom Renoir admired and whom Vollard also represented. Orchestrating this new collaboration with Renoir, Vollard introduced Renoir to Guino at Maillol’s studio, announcing, “I have found your hands.”1 Guino was much more than an assistant to Renoir; it is suggested that he was the primary creator of the sculptures. The two artists became close associates, and it was Guino’s particular genius to be able to express in clay the essence of Renoir’s paintings. Between 1913 and 1918, Guino worked under Renoir’s direction on sculptures with the same themes as his paintings, often portraits of Renoir’s friends and family or nudes.
Renoir made drawings and sometimes sketches to be reproduced in three dimensions by Guino. The two artists worked in close proximity at Les Collettes, the estate at Cagnes-sur-Mer near Nice that Renoir had purchased in 1907, the painter at his easel on the first floor of the villa and the sculptor in his studio in the garden. Anticipating the success of these sculptures, Vollard did everything he could to ensure he had exclusivity for their production and distribution in bronze, going as far as to minimize Guino’s role. It took a lengthy lawsuit before Guino’s contribution as joint artist was fully recognized in 1973.2 1.

Baselitz began painting and drawing subjects upside down in the late 1960s in an effort to focus attention on the formal aspects of his work rather than the figurative or narrative. While other artists who shared Baselitz’s interest in emphasizing the formal over the representational might dispense altogether with recognizable objects and scenes, turning to abstraction, Baselitz maintained the figural subject but made it difficult, and even uncomfortable, to read.

Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist by the current owner in 1988.

N.B. Jim Shaw worked on the series My Mirage from 1986 through 1991, creating a group of 170 interconnected works of art in a variety of media, each of which tells part of the story of a character named Billy. My Mirage follows Billy, a white, middle-class male, from childhood onward as he navigates the 1960s and 1970s American counterculture. Shaw organized the works into chapters and unified the project by maintaining a standard size of 17 x 14 inches for each work. The result is a visual narrative, structured in the form of a coming-of-age novel; however, the pieces were exhibited about thirty at a time, before being sold individually. Though attempts have been made to reunite the series, all 170 works have never been included together in the same exhibition. $12,000-18,000 422 Norman Bluhm (American, 1921-1999) Untitled Signed and dated “bluhm/58” l.l.

Conditions of Sale 1. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Skinner, Inc. below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event and whether or not a lot is subject to a reserve, the auctioneer may reject any bid or raise not commensurate with the value of such lot. 2. All property is sold “as is,� and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability. 3. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale. The auctioneer shall have sole discretion to refuse any bid, or refuse to acknowledge any bidder.

Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Upon request, our staff will provide the list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots. 9.
