T H E RIS E O F A RT NO U V EAU In the provincial city of Nancy, ornately gilded ivy crawls up wrought iron lamp posts, gates, and decorative balconies. Baroque architecture and an arc de triomphe delineate the city’s cobblestone center Place Stanislas, named for the Polish Duke of Lorraine under whose patronage it was built. The design and construction of this urban center in the mid eighteenth century brought a cultural renaissance to Nancy. About a century and a half later the Franco-Prussian War divided the province; as a result, many refugees from France’s easternmost province settled here. Nancy once more saw a large influx of professionals and artisans, giving birth to another cultural renaissance and resulting in a triumph of the decorative arts. This collection of Art Nouveau decorative art features three artists who were the leading figures of the École de Nancy. Emile Gallé, Louis Majorelle, and Antonin Daum all began work in their respective family businesses; Gallé and Majorelle were from Nancy, while the Daum family emigrated there from a region farther east. These decorative artists led a movement that was deeply rooted in provincial life, and inspiringly embraced modernity for their own expressive purposes. From a young age, the school’s leading figure Emile Gallé, was fascinated by botany. Throughout his life he would find inspiration in the local flora, fauna, and insects of the region, rooting his style of Art Nouveau in the provincial. Gallé also displayed strong provincial pride by heavily featuring the cross of Lorraine, inherited by the Duke of Lorraine in the fifteenth century, as ornamentation in his work. As a child, Gallé took to sketching the region’s native plants; later they would be acid-etched into the glass and marquetry-inlaid into the wood of his creations. It was because of Gallé’s lifelong study of and passion for natural life that his ornamentation takes on a life of its own. He even took to cultivating a garden around his woodworking shop, organizing it by genus and species. It was filled with local flora, fauna, and weeds that grew freely. His vegetable garden proved to be the perfect space to study local insects. Gallé also found inspiration in flowers native to Japan, which had opened up in the earlier part of the century. Gallé’s knowledge of botanical methodology gives his work a “supernatural” effect, as Maurice Rheims notes in his study of the Art Nouveau moment. Galle showed it possible that nature and science could be reconciled through art. In 1900, Gallé took the country by storm at the Paris Exposition, proving himself to be an expressive force to be reckoned with. His exhibition included a full size glass furnace from his workshop, glass pieces etched with cultural criticism, and shattered shards of glass that were spread on the ground in front, as proto-performance art.

Louis Majorelle began working with Gallé around 1894. When the École de Nancy officially opened in 1901, he, along with Antonin Daum, served as Gallé’s Vice Presidents. Both Daum and Gallé supplied Majorelle with glass as he began exploring the qualities and workmanship of metal. Majorelle studied under Jean-François Millet known for his rural subjects in a realist mode at the École de BeauxArts. Before developing a more personal style under Gallé’s influence, Majorelle worked primarily with historicist styles for his father’s business. The design of this collection’s Majorelle tables display the sumptuous, dynamic, and naturalistic contours that he came to master as a furniture designer. His masterful curvature of form won him praise and international attention at the Paris Exposition. With the connections formed during his time at the École de BeauxArts, Majorelle secured frequent major exhibitions in Paris. The Daum family came to settle in Nancy after fleeing Bitche as a result of the War. In 1889, the Daum brothers visited the Exposition Universelle in Paris, during which the Eiffel Tower officially opened. There they saw the work of Gallé and Majorelle. At the Exposition of 1900, Daum and Majorelle exhibited decorative lamps together, where Majorelle’s nuanced metalwork took on the contours of a stem and Daum’s glass, the delicacy of petals. Just as Gallé left an impression on the work of Majorelle, it left an indelible mark on the Daum studio. Like Gallé, Antonin Daum mastered the ornamental acid-etch technique, and, after the death of Gallé in 1904, went on to revitalize the pâte-de-verre technique pioneered by ancient Egyptians. Another glass designer represented in this Collection is Gabriel Argy-Rousseau. Argy-Rousseau gained recognition with his masterful use of the pâte-de-verre technique, using a molded “glass paste” to produce a richness of texture and color. Whereas Gallé’s ornamentation is inspired by his interest in botany, Argy-Rousseau mastered his technique through an interest in chemistry and was able to experiment with the blending of color and texture of surface. The thickness of his glass and the rich jewel tones create immensely rich gem-like pieces. Light plays off an ArgyRousseau nightlight (Lot 28) like the stained glass window of a church, instantaneously revealing a rich layer of color and light. All of these artists were instrumental in one of the twentieth century’s most explosive and fleeting decorative art movements. They revealed a social dimension to decorative work, and worked endlessly to ensure the prosperity of decorative art’s future. The flowers of the École de Nancy’s work are deeply rooted in Lorraine’s soil and they have etched, carved, and molded this region’s natural beauty and rich cultural history into their work.

K AYS ERZ INN PE WTE R: T HE COLLECT ION OF RU DO LF (RUDI) AMMANN, PART I Lots 89 - 118 Around the turn of the twentieth century, Engelbert Kayser, the son of a metal merchant, reimagined the expressive potential of an age old and quintessentially vernacular German metal: pewter. The beginning of Kayserzinn’s Jugendstil work shows it to be primarily ornamental, but as the brand developed this style further, it began not only to dictate ornamentation, but form as well, so that the natural world would become the limitations of Kayserzinn’s man made designs. Collaborations with artists such as Carl Geyer, Hugo Leven, and Hermann Fauser would define the development of Kayserzinn’s style. The definition of the brand’s style would not end with these artists, but permeated their wide and eclectic range of influences. Leven and Fauser’s experimental work proves to be an interesting study in form and function, challenging and expanding Art Nouveau’s limitations. Hugo Leven was, at the age of twenty-one, an early collaborator of Kayserzinn. Beginning from as early as 1895, Leven was instrumental in Kasyerzinn achieving its potential. The artists of Leven’s surroundings, such as Tiffany, Daum, and Gallé, influenced his work and can be seen in his designs for Kayserzinn. The opening of Japan in the second half of the nineteenth century, which helped define the Art Nouveau movement, was also a critical influence on Leven’s work; aesthetically Japanese florals ornament Kayserzinn’s pewter around the turn of the twentieth century. A tray from 1898, overlaid with lily pads and swirls is made to look like a Japanese inspired pond. With the birth of Kayserzinn pewter, the “Arts and Crafts movement began to bear fruit,” as Eckard Wagner and Gerhard Dietrich have asserted in their all-encompassing historicization of the artistic firm. Kayserzinn pewter found a catalyst in the Arts and Crafts movement, marrying the arts with mass production. Kayserzinn’s advertisements focused on the functionality, aesthetic superiority, affordability, and quality craftsmanship. An international audience took notice. Kayserzinn was awarded at international fairs and expositions in Paris, Turin, Dȕsseldorf, and St. Louis. The Cologne of Kayser’s time was undergoing vast changes that came along with the twentieth century’s new modernity; these changes are reflected in some of Kayserzinn’s motifs, although these representational embraces of modernity are few and far between in the Kayserzinn canon. Developing technologies such as the railway, funicular, and construction crane can be found in relief on a wine cooler from around 1902, reflecting the modernization of Cologne The Collection of Rudolf (Rudi) Ammann (1937-2019) represents one of the largest collections of Kayserzinn pewter ever assembled. As a young man, after schooling and military service, Rudi Ammann left his large and long established family in Gstaad Switzerland for travel, eventually settling in Brooklyn, New York. Early on he became lifelong friends with Don Magner, an abstract expressionist painter, then filmmaker who worked in England with Tony Richardson. Beginning in the 1960s, Magner became a seminal dealer and collector of Early Modernist design. Although Rudi and Don were comrades “on the hunt”, each collected with a different approach. Don bought widely, from Herter Bros. to Mission Oak and eventually to Memphis, while Rudi collected ‘fin de siecle’ pewter with focus and scholarly zeal. It was all displayed, throughout his apartment, integrated with a very good collection of minimalist Mission Oak furnishings, a most fitting counterpoint. Rudi’s successful career on Wall St. as an export broker of heavy construction equipment, demanded extensive travel; but frequently returning to Brooklyn Heights with a new work to add to the Collection. Rudi also bought regularly from top New York dealers. From October 12, 1989 to January 9, 1990, the Museum of Modern Art staged the first American exhibition recognizing Kayserzinn’s contributions to the cannon of Art and Design. Several pieces were lent to that exhibition from Rudi’s Collection, and are offered for sale herein. - Ethan Snyder

Such materials may require specific licenses, certificates, or CITES documentation for import, export, moving between states in the U.S., or resale. Obtaining these documents may require scientific, laboratory or other expert analysis, in order to establish which species or genus the material came from.

If proper documentation or licenses etc. cannot be obtained for a purchased lot, the purchaser will still be required to make an on time payment for the lot as per our standard terms and conditions. Freeman’s cataloguing of the lots marked with this symbol * represents the best of our opinion, and the absence of this symbol from any lot description does not form a warranty that the lot will be free from any licensing or certification restrictions.

Subject to the foregoing, all Property shall be paid for and removed by the buyer at his/ her expense within ten (10) days of sale and, if not so removed, may be sold by Freeman’s, or sent by Freeman’s to a public warehouse, at the sole risk and charge of thebuyer(s), and Freeman’s may prohibit the buyer from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or buyer in any future sale or sales. In addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s by law, Freeman’s reserves the right to impose a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price on any balance remaining ten (10) days after the day of sale. If Property is not removed by the buyer within ten (10) days, a handling charge of 1%of the total purchase price per month from the tenth day after the sale until removal by the buyer shall be payable to Freeman’s by the buyer; Freeman’s shall charge 1.5% of the total purchase price per month for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale. Freeman’s will not be responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or otherwise responsible for any goods left in Freeman’s possession after ten (10) days. If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of law are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the buyer(s) liable for the bid price) Freeman’s, at its option, may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the buyer(s), or resell the property. In such event, the buyer(s) shall remain liable for any deficiency in the original purchase price and will also be responsible for all

costs, including warehousing, the expense of the ultimate sale, and Freeman’s commission at its regular rates together with all related and incidental charges, including legal fees. Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by Freeman’s. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. Any exceptions must be made upon Freeman’s written approval of credit prior to sale. In addition, a defaulting buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Freeman’s, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of, or owing to such buyer in Freeman’s possession, and Freeman’s may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to Freeman’s. Freeman’s shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code. 10 Unless the sale is advertised and announced as “without reserve”, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Freeman’s may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignors. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where Freeman’s or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to Freeman’s, Freeman’s may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds therefrom, other than the broker’s Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest. 11 No “buy” bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. 12 Any pre-sale bids must be submitted in writing to Freeman’s prior to commencement of the offer of the first lot of any sale. Freeman’s copy of any such bid shall conclusively be deemed to be the sole evidence of same, and while Freeman’s accepts these bids for the convenience of bidders not present at the auction, Freeman’s shall not be responsible for the failure to execute, or, to execute properly, any pre-sale bid.

13 A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price. The Buyer’s Premium shall be: 25% on the first $300,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $300,001 through $3,000,000, and 12% thereafter. 14 Unless exempted by law from the payment thereof, the buyer will be required to pay any and all federal excise tax and any state and/or local sales taxes, including where deliveries are to be made outside the state where a sale is conducted, which may be subject to a corresponding or compensating tax in another state. 15 Freeman’s may, as a service to buyer, arrange to have purchased property posted and shipped at the buyer’s expense. Freeman’s is not responsible for any acts or omissions in packing or shipping of purchased lots whether or not such carrier is recommended by Freeman’s. Packing and handling of purchased lots is at the responsibility of the buyer and is at the entire risk of the buyer. 16 In no event shall any liability of Freeman’s to the buyer exceed the purchase price actually paid. 17 No claimed modification or amendment of this Agreement on the part of any party shall be deemed extant, enforceable or provable unless it is in writing that has been signed by the parties to this Agreement. No course of dealing and no delay or omission on the part of Freeman’s in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right and waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy of Freeman’s on any future occasion. 18 These Conditions of Sale and the buyer’s, the Consignor’s and Freeman’s rights under these Conditions of Sale shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Consignor and Buyer agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
