100 Francis Frith (British, 1822-1898) The Mosque of the Emeer Akhoor, Cairo, 1858. Signed and dated “Frith...” in the negative l.r., titled on the pre-printed mount. Albumen silver print mounted to heavyweight paper, image/sheet size 19 1/4 x 15 3/8 in. (48.8 x 39.0 cm), unmatted, unframed. Condition: Creases in l.r. and u.r. corners. Provenance: A private Massachusetts collection. N.B. Francis Frith turned to photography in the early 1850s, and in 1856 made his first trip to Egypt, traveling up the Nile from Cairo to Abu Simbel, and photographing ancient monuments and locations using a stereoscopic camera and two large format cameras with different negative sizes (8 x 10 and 16 x 20 inches). Despite the challenging environmental conditions, Frith succeeded in producing his arresting images using a portable darkroom with wet-plate collodion on glass negatives. His use of three negative formats demonstrates the commercial nature of his enterprise and the high demand in mid19th century England for pictorial evidence of Middle Eastern subjects. 100

The successful sale of Frith’s views financed his next trip to Palestine, Syria, and Egypt in late 1857, and in the summer of 1859, he returned to Egypt, traveling up the Nile to the Fifth Cataract, and venturing further south than any other photographer before him. Settling back in Britain, he opened his own firm in Reigate, Surrey, near London, to publish and sell his images, as well as the work of other photographers. $1,200-1,800

Edward Sheriff Curtis is best known for his Herculean effort to document the North American Indian through photographs and recordings of song and speech. As the western United States was developed, he endeavored to record the vanishing cultures of the land’s original inhabitants, creating a body of work that at the time defined the country’s popular vision of Native American culture. Curtis began his fieldwork in 1906 with the support of financier J. Pierpont Morgan, and by 1930 he had documented more than eighty tribes and made over 40,000 photographs. $3,000-5,000

N.B. George Platt Lynes is recognized today as a master of 20th century photography, influencing artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe and Herb Ritts. Though Lynes was commercially successful in New York fashion and portrait photography, his art practice is largely characterized today by his remarkable photographs of nude men, from the 1930s until his death in 1955. Using inventive lighting, posing, and cropping techniques within his carefully staged studio settings, he was able to visually translate both the physical and psychological nuances of his subjects (biography from http://www.robertmillergallery.com/georgeplatt-lynes-c1f6c, accessed 12/5/2018). $1,500-2,500

N.B. Ruff began making portraits around 1980 at a time when the genre had largely disappeared from the curriculum of the Staatlichen Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf where he was a student. He decided on a specific format: bust length portraits of sitters in their regular clothes with calm, serious expressions on their faces. Between 1981 and 1985, Ruff photographed his subjects against a colored background and made prints measuring approximately 9 1/2 x 7 inches. Beginning in 1986, he began using a neutral background and printing at a much larger scale so that the presence of both the sitter and the photograph become intensified. The portrait on offer is from this latter group. $7,000-9,000

N.B. This painting has been recently reviewed by D. Frederick Baker and is now included in Ronald G. Pisano’s The Complete Catalogue of Known and Documented Work by William Merrritt Chase (1849–1916). It has been given the catalogue no. LAA.346 and the information will be entered in the Pisano/ Chase Catalogue Raisonné Project files at the Kellen Archives, New York. In his report Dr. Baker writes, “Use of a winding hill road starting in the foreground is an oft used pictorial device by the artist. But the detail of the house (u.r.) on the horizon top of a hill and the surrounding trees and vegetation is also a motif known to have been used by Chase. Aside from the physical elements, the work appears to have been painted in a masterly manner, dashed off by the artist with aplomb. The only issue is the rather indefinable jumble in the lower right quadrant of the painting. Usually Chase, though painting pretty much exactly what he saw, was more exact in defining even

casual elements. It does, however, define spatial relationship adding to the sense of the receding hill. The signature is painted with authority and deftness, also a hallmark of Chase’s style. Alas, the artist rarely dated and/or noted location in his landscapes. One might opine it was painted in the Shinnecock hills surrounding his summer home, several miles west of his famous Shinnecock Summer School located in Southampton, NY. In the summer of 1891 before his home was completed, he painted several paintings of the surrounding countryside on roughly the same sized wood panels; however the telephone pole near the house on the horizon would suggest it was done near Carmel, California, during his 1914 summer school relocated to the west coast—telephone poles being most evident in his wood panel painting of Monterey, California.” A copy of Dr. Baker’s Art Research Report accompanies the lot. $300,000-500,000

The work was newly discovered at the time of his review, and no provenance or exhibition history was known.

F. bt (Paris)” along the back edge of the base. Bronze with dark brown patina, height 35 1/2 in. (90.2 cm). Condition: Stirrups on outside legs of each rider are loose, some irregular brush marks of darker color in the patina to the inside flank and back of the saddle of the horse on the left, dust and dirt to interstices, minor wear to patina on the muzzle of the horse on the left, rein on horse on left possibly detached and crop may be slightly bent.

Provenance: The collection of Joseph Thomas Alvarez III, California. N.B. The younger brother of Rosa Bonheur, Isidore Bonheur was a prominent sculptor and animalier in his own right. He began studying painting with his father, but by 1848 he discontinued working in oil in favor of sculpture, enrolling at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in 1849. He is widely recognized for his small bronze groups, including sculptures of horses, cattle, sheep, and dogs, and like his sister, Isidore did not sentimentalize his animal subjects. His works were frequently cast by his brother-in-law, Hippolyte Peyrol. Like many 19th century French animaliers, Bonheur found that the market for his works was stronger in Britain.

This large double steeplechaser bronze has been described by Christopher Payne as “… one of the finest and largest groups in the animalier field.” (Animals in Bronze, p. 345). Unusual and ambitious in scale, the sculpture shows the vigorous movement and keenly observed detail characteristic of the artist at his best. $120,000-180,000

278 Harry Jackson (American, 1924-2011) Stampede Signed and dated “Harry Jackson 1959” and stamped with the artist’s thumbprint along the front of the bronze base c.l., incised “Fond. Vignali-Tomassi” in the base l.r. Bronze with black/brown patina, 15 x 60 x 13 1/2 in. (38.1 x 152.4 x 34.3 cm). Condition: Dust and dirt to interstices, minor wear to patina. Provenance: The collection of Joseph Thomas Alvarez III, California.

104

N.B. Stampede and Range Burial (Lot 279) were created as part of a pivotal commission Harry Jackson received from his friend Robert Coe in 1957. At the time, Coe was the U.S. Ambassador to Denmark and a trustee of the Whitney Gallery of Western Art in Cody, Wyoming, while Jackson was on a Fulbright to Italy. Coe’s original commission was for two heroic-scale paintings. It was in preparation for those paintings that Harry Jackson first turned to sculpture, and when he signed the contract with Coe in 1958, it included four works, two paintings and two bronzes on the same subjects. As he conceived the paintings, Jackson wanted a way to get to know each of the figures more completely, to fully understand them from every angle, and to experience them through touch as well as sight. From his time in Europe, Jackson had become aware of the precedent of painters exploring subjects through sculpture when charged with the creation of monumental canvases and murals. From this drive to truly know his subject, Jackson’s career as a sculptor was born.

Working with Aldo Vignali of the VignaliTommasi foundry in Pietrasanta, Jackson immersed himself in creating the two Coe bronzes and several independent works between 1958 and 1960, many of which were shown at Jackson’s sold-out show of Western bronzes and drawings at Knoedler Gallery in New York in May of 1960. The independent sculptures included single figures of cowboys that helped the artist develop the presence and dignity of each individual within his larger compositions. The two paintings, The Stampede and The Range Burial, were completed in 1965 and 1963, respectively. All four works commissioned by Robert Coe are part of the collection of the Whitney Western Art Museum, Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Cody, Wyoming. $80,000-120,000

279

279 Harry Jackson (American, 1924-2011) Range Burial Signed, dated, and numbered “Harry Jackson/1959/4” and with the artist’s thumbprint on the l.r. side edge, incised “PIETRASANTA ITALY FONDERIA/VIGNALI TOMASSI” on the l.r. edge of the back of the base. Bronze with black/brown patina, 15 x 43 x 23 in. (38.1 x 109.2 x 58.4 cm). Condition: Dust and dirt to the interstices, areas of minor wear to the patina. Provenance: The collection of Joseph Thomas Alvarez III, California.

N.B. Stampede (Lot 278) and Range Burial have been described as poles of violent energy versus absolute stillness. In approaching the subject of the burial, Harry Jackson was influenced by Gustave Courbet (French, 1819-1877), more specifically Courbet’s monumental painting A Burial at Ornans done in 1849-1850. In that work, now in the Musée d’Orsay, Courbet depicted the burial of his great-uncle with challenging, unflattering accuracy and at a scale (10 x 22 feet) theretofore reserved for historic or religious painting. The similarities with Jackson’s Range Burial include not only impressive scale but the austere landscape, the gathering around the grave site of multiple figures which are conceived as individual portraits, and the foreground open grave. Jackson substituted a blasted tree for the crucifix in Courbet’s work. $50,000-70,000

Bronze with black/brown patina, 11 x 26 1/2 x 13 in. (27.9 x 67.3 x 33.0 cm), on a wood plinth. Condition: Dust and dirt to interstices, very minor wear and losses to areas of the patina.

N.B. Cast in early 1960, Plantin’ is a smaller, second version of Range Burial. Here Jackson simplified the composition, reducing the number of figures to nine from fifteen and focusing the vantage point in closer to the grave. $22,000-28,000

281 Harry Jackson (American, 1924-2011) Sacajawea with Packhorse Signed, dated, and inscribed “© Harry Jackson/1978/SA PH 14” and with the “WFS/ ITALY” and the artist’s thumbprint on the back of the base, identified with alternate title “SACAJAWEA/SECOND WORKING MODEL/ FOR A MONUMENT/HARRY JACKSON” on a bronze plaque incorporated into the base. Bronze with brown patina, height 27 1/4 in. (69.2 cm). Condition: Dust and dirt to interstices. Provenance: The collection of Joseph Thomas Alvarez III, California.

281

N.B. In 1975 Harry Jackson began work for a major monument to Sacagawea, Lewis and Clark’s Shoshone guide, intended originally for the United States Capitol in one of the niches reserved for the state of Wyoming. However, political wrangling led to the revamping of the project with a revised focus on a site in Wyoming and an open competition. Jackson determined he would submit the Sacagawea figure as part of a pair of sculptures, the second figure being that of Chief Washakie on horseback. The new figure of Sacagawea evolved to include a pack horse behind the mother and child, and Jackson also elected to use the less familiar spelling Sacajawea. In the end, Jackson did not win the commission, but the sculptures marked a turning point in his work. Conceived for display outdoors, they were more massive and weighty, with Jackson’s hallmark movement conveyed now majestically in broadly expressed elements of the compositions. $12,000-18,000 282 Harry Jackson (American, 1924-2011) A Lack of Slack Signed, dated, and numbered “© Harry Jackson 1973/16” on the top of the base, titled on a presentation plaque affixed to the plinth. Bronze with brown/black patina, height 15 3/4 in. (40.0 cm), on a contoured stone base. Condition: Dust and dirt to interstices. Provenance: Purchased from the National Academy of Western Art Exhibition, June 1974, National Cowboy Hall of Fame, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; by family descent to the current owner. N.B. In this well-known bronze, Jackson captured the intense movement of the horses and rider at a dramatic moment with painstaking attention to every detail. The lot is accompanied by a signed letter from Harry Jackson on Wyoming Foundry Studios stationery, dated September 19, 1974, certifying this cast, by other paperwork and ephemera about the purchase, and by several catalogs about Harry Jackson. The work comes in its original wood crate with mailing label from the Cowboy Hall of Fame. $5,000-7,000

The sculpture portrays Clayton Danks on Steamboat. Danks was the high sheriff of Fremont County, Wyoming, and was described by Harry Jackson as one of the best bronc riders and steer ropers for twenty years starting at the turn of the century. In his notes, Jackson recalled the challenge of crafting a bronze that is both physically and metaphysically balanced.1 1. Larry Pointer and Donald Goddard, Harry Jackson (New York: Harry N.

Painted bronze, height 18 3/8 in. (46.7 cm), on a fauxpainted metal plinth. Condition: Good. Provenance: The collection of Joseph Thomas Alvarez III, California. N.B. Harry Jackson began his career as a painter, and color emerged, at first conservatively, as an important aspect of his sculpture beginning with Cowboy’s Meditation in 1963. In the early 1950s Jackson had experimented with Abstract Expressionism, but his desire to depict solid form within space caused him to turn away from their strict focus on two dimensions. Still, at heart Jackson remained a colorist. He wrote, “I can’t imagine the world without color.”1 His dream became to make polychrome bronzes that were, in essence, three-dimensional paintings. In the example at hand, Jackson has presented Shoshone chief Washakie on horseback, turned towards the sunset, bathed in rich warm colors on the front and in softened shades of blue and lavender shadows on the reverse. 1.

N.B. This painting originally represented the left side of an illustration for Red Book Magazine to accompany the story “The Valley of Voices” by George T. Marsh published in May 1924. The artist cut the composition in half in 1965 and reworked the left side, which is the painting being offered here. The buildings are based upon a photograph Schoonover took of a Hudson Bay Company Post in Canada. John Schoonover, the artist’s grandson, reports that the artist often altered his illustrations, including reusing canvases and painting landscapes over published illustrations. In fact, the 1924 Red Book illustration was painted over an earlier vignette done for the Country Gentleman published in 1922.

369 Gustave Loiseau (French, 1865-1935) L’Avant Port de Dieppe Signed “G Loiseau” l.r., identified on a presentation plaque affixed to the frame and on a label from David Findlay Gallery, New York, affixed to the frame backing board. Oil on canvas, 20 x 24 in. (50.0 x 61.0 cm), framed. Condition: Good.

Provenance: Purchased from David Findlay Galleries, New York, in 1981 by a private Greenwich, Connecticut, collector; by family descent to the current owners. N.B. Between 1901 and 1929, Loiseau made at least five visits to Dieppe where he painted numerous views of the town and its port. The artist had first ventured out of Paris in 1890, when he traveled to Pont Aven in the footsteps of Paul Gauguin. Following that sojourn, Loiseau spent summers painting the landscapes of Normandy, Brittany, and the Dordogne.

He developed a painting style that incorporated elements of both Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, characterized by short, interlocking brushstrokes that created an intricate, lattice-like structure. This painting is a fine example of that technique as well as of Loiseau’s attention to the effects of light on the landscape. This painting has been reviewed by Didier Imbert and will be included in his forthcoming catalogue raisonné of Loiseau’s work. A certificate from Mr. Imbert accompanies the lot. $50,000-70,000

By 1906 he had befriended art collectors Gertrude and Leo Stein through whom he met a circle of avant-garde artists and writers that included Henri Matisse. Matisse and Bruce developed a close friendship, and Bruce was an original member of the Académie Matisse, the private art school where the French master instructed young artists from 1907 to 1911. This work exhibits the influence Matisse’s strong colors and bold patterns had on Bruce. Bruce continued to be inspired by contemporary French art throughout his career, and his work gradually evolved into abstraction. $10,000-15,000

Literature: Robert Melville, Henry Moore: Sculpture and Drawings 1921–1969 (London: Thames and Hudson, 1970); John Hedgecoe, A Monumental Vision: The Sculpture of Henry Moore (London: Collins and Brown, 1998); Ann Garrould, editor, Henry Moore: Complete Drawings, 1940–49, volume 3 (London and Much Hadham: The Henry Moore Foundation with Lund Humphries, 2001). N.B. In 1973, the owner of this work wrote the following to Henry Moore: “My husband and I have always considered this painting our most precious possession and have prided ouselves on having a genuine Henry Moore, probably the only one of its kind in Lebanon or the Middle East. For some time now, we have been having an argument with our friends about it, and after much hesitation, I thought of writing directly to you for your verdict.

Do the words ‘Lithograph, reclining head figures’ at the top mean that it is a lithograph?” Moore responded, confirming that the work is indeed a drawing, and not a lithograph. He wrote, “At the time I did the drawing I thought I could do a lithograph at some time based on this drawing. In fact, I did make a lithograph using the lower part of your drawing in 1950.” This correspondence between the consignor and the artist accompanies the lot. This work is listed in the online Henry Moore Catalogue Raisonné: 1940-1949 as catalogue number HMF 2427 (see http://catalogue. henry-moore.org:8080/objects/9980/recliningfigures). $50,000-70,000

Provenance: Collection of Maria Lopez and Stephen Mindich, Massachusetts. Exhibitions: The Constructed Photograph, Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover, Massachusetts, January 17–March 23, 1997. N.B. This work is part of a series of three-dimensional installations in which part of a scene is painted to mimic a (usually black-and-white) photograph. The artist describes: “From only one angle do the painted parts coalesce to form a coherent rectangle... However, from all other angles, the view of a coherent image falls apart into discontinuous or overlapping, often trapezoidal sections. The image disintegrates spatially similar to the way a (photographed) event dissolves in time. As the painted figures form and dissolve, they suggest memories emerging and fading. The different viewpoints also suggest opposing perceptions of reality. There is the viewpoint that reflects a contained and intelligible universe, while the other viewpoints reflect discontinuous, fluctuating and ambiguous states” (http:// gillianbrown.com/portfolio/staircase/).

Looking at Sculpture: A Hands-on Evening with Conservator Rika Smith January 24, 2019 | 63 Park Plaza, Boston, MA Reception 5:30PM | Gallery Walk 6PM

reservations are requested

Rika Smith, art conservation expert in cast bronze sculpture, will join us for an evening of conversation about all things bronze. Using artworks presented for the Fine Arts & Painting auction on January 25, 2019 by Isidore Bonheur, Harry Jackson, and Mimmo Paladino, we will examine the sculptures to identify casting methods, finishing techniques, and types of patination. We will also search for signatures and foundry marks. Specific questions regarding each artwork will be answered, and questions about sculpture conservation in general will also be discussed. Smith is the principal of Rika Smith McNally & Associates/SculptureCare, serving clients in the Boston area and throughout the US. She is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and has a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in conservation from the Winterthur/University of Delaware Art Conservation Program. Smith also has a certificate in conservation from the Harvard University Art Museums and is a fellow of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works. Her career specialty has been bronze sculpture. Her most recent major treatment was a monumental Japanese Meiji era cast bronze eagle, currently on exhibition at the McMullen Museum at Boston College.
