German artist Johannes Kahrs customarily takes a photo, a video projection or a film still as the starting point for his paintings.

Presented without the context of their origin, his generic subjects become monumentalized and frozen in non-sequential time, their imagery merging the banal with the horrific. Leaving the contours of his figures blurred as though floating in a hazy fog of memory, Kahrs’ painting style captures the unreliable nature of photography. He transforms the art-historical tradition of painting to the point where oils on canvas seem to represent the shadows of over-exposure or the acid hues of a print. By thus detaching the image from its original meaning, Kahrs’ work is suggestive of a completely new method of recording of reality, one both ethereal and mysterious.

“The work of Johannes Kahrs frequently mixes cinema and life in order to generate a subversive critique against images and against our perception of a world that can be too easily altered by the manipulation of a few moments and frames. In Kahrs’ paintings, photographs, drawings and video projections, cinema is returned to life, and it is placed on the border between representation and private memory, transgressing both contexts through an intense experience of violence or a subtle form of scepticism towards rhetoric of fiction.”

p. 279 (illustrated)

Urs Fischer’s art is broad-based, far-reaching, sharply focused, raw, clever and disarming. He resists easy categorization, working across a wide range of media including photography, drawing, painting, sculpture and installation. His fundamental interest, however, lies in the everyday objects that surround us, objects which he often depicts in a state of decay or metaphysical transformation. Fischer’s practice traces the production process, revealing its organic and experimental nature; he is constantly dealing, both literally and metaphorically, with the contrasting themes of construction and deconstruction. Untitled (Nürnberg) is a characteristic example of this approach, featuring a period blackand-white photograph of a wall in Nuremberg demolished during World War II. The image is mounted on wooden panels, and to the top of this sparse composition, Fischer has added a reproduction of glowing fluorescent light tubes, which seem to both light and expose the rubble below. It is a quintessential Fischer creation, its seemingly disparate imagery combining to form an ambiguous work layered deeply with meaning.

“There are no limits to Fischer’s perceptions and psychological penetration of our contemporary soul. His delight in acquiring knowledge via the senses can only be described as Baroque, focusing on reality throughout the 360 degrees of its compass.

Large numbers of vanitas symbols, candles really burning and vegetables actually rotting, combine with horror and trash symbolism inspired by heavy metal and references to the work of Martin Kippenberger to address the widespread cultural phenomenon of pleasure in angst, the secret delight in terror. In the morass of adolescent taste Fischer discovers possibilities for expanding art’s frame of reference, recognizing a rich and vital vein of imaginative potential. The imagination is the agent of Fischer’s realism symbolism.”

Sampling ideas from Modernism and Abstract Expressionism, Anselm Reyle injects new life into concepts now resting securely within the art historical canon. In his foil paintings, Reyle achieves this by reactivating concepts of abstraction and the ready-made with a shiny new material; and in so doing, he revitalises the notion of chance during the acts of both creation and viewing. Each peak, bend and valley of his synthetic foil substrate creates a new surface upon which light can refract and forms reflect; there is a constant fluctuation of light and tone, creating a work which remains new no matter how many times it is viewed.

“I found this cheap foil at a studio of a friend. I was very fascinated by this material. The quality – that it was so glossy. I’ve always liked the fact that you have to do very little to make it look good. In this case, you really have a lot of interesting effects created by almost nothing. All the colours reflect and also it has a very psychedelic effect when you look at it from a close distance. A bit like on an acid trip. The fact that this cheap store foil work is such a big contrast to the expensive acrylic box around it, is another aspect. Without this box, it would have been more trashy, cheap and even more fragile.

But when it’s inside it gets more serious leaving no doubt that it’s a real piece of art.”

Ever the hopeless romantic, Ugo Rondinone creates eclectic works in which notions of the sublime are tinged with a poetic melancholia. Standing at nearly four metres tall, air/ gets/ into/ everything/ even/ nothing is a representation of a 2,000-year-old olive tree originally found in the countryside outside Naples. Life, death and the passage of time are evoked by the tree’s gnarled trunk and bare branches, so beautifully shaped by the forces of nature over the course of two millennia. A living organism with its own cycle of growth, reproduction and decay, now frozen in aluminium and white enamel, Rondinone’s tree becomes a contemplation on the story of creation, a vehicle for mankind’s shared memory and experience.

This depiction of the natural landscape as a metaphor for human psychology, with the tree at its core, has been a recurring theme for Ugo Rondinone. As early as 1991, he began representing a nostalgic Arcadian ideal, with monumental Indian ink drawings depicting the woods, hills, streams and cottages of a pre-modern world, their simple beauty suggesting man’s lost innocence. This existential exercise is taken further in Rondinone’s trees which, while appearing to arrest the passage of time, in fact reflect upon our inescapable transience. Caught between life and death, the fragile nature of Rondinone’s tree is reminiscent of the oeuvre of the American sculptor Robert Gober. In both of these artists’ fantastic, hyperreal worlds, life can be interpreted as a melancholy progress through a failing world.

“What interests me about the two 2000-year-old olive trees is the fact that once they are cast bare naked they become a memoriam of condensed time. Through a cast olive tree you can not only experience the lapse of real time, that is lived time, frozen in its given form, but through this transformation also a different calibrated temporality. Time can be experienced as a lived abstraction, where the shape is formed by this accumulation of time and wind force. If my work in general has a nonlinear approach to the world, then the system and concept of time, which has occupied my work since the beginning, gives me a certain sense of grounding.”

Warhol’s Disaster series is a provocative statement that underscores his fascination with the power of media, the underside of American life and the indiscriminate nature of death. Culled from tragic frontpage news stories, its imagery chillingly reflects the artist’s raw and confrontational attitude towards beauty and tragedy. Indeed, as Warhol himself said in a 1963 interview: “I realized that everything I was doing must have been Death. It was Labor Day and every time you turned on the radio they said something like ‘Four million are going to die’. That started it. But when you see a gruesome picture over and over again, it doesn’t really have any effect … and I thought people should think about them some time … It’s not that I feel sorry for them, it’s just that people go by and it doesn’t really matter to them that someone unknown was killed so I thought it would be nice for these unknown people to be remembered.”

At the heart of Matthew Day Jackson’s work is the belief that technology is the key to man’s advancement – and at the same time his demise. In other words, scientific progress may promise entry to a utopian society, but it simultaneously unlocks the means to our end. In Gimme Shelter, 2009, Jackson focuses on post-World War II America and the acceleration of Cold War paranoia. While technology was allowing the average US citizen to prosper, it was also creating an underlying sense of impending doom; Jackson points up this duality and how the media plays upon it.

The subject of Gimme Shelter is an appropriated cover of Life magazine from 12 January 1962, which warns readers about nuclear fallout and advises them of the measures to be taken to protect themselves in the event of a nuclear attack. The original image depicts a modern American city with citizens being ushered into Cover of Life magazine, 12 January 1962

community shelters, while the text – stating “New Facts You Must Know about Fall Out” – starkly emphasizes the climate of fear caused by nuclear proliferation and international standoffs. Jackson heightens this notion of technology as both progress and destruction by laser-etching Life’s propaganda-like cover into black Formica, utilizing both a method and a material which were considered advancements in the 20th century. It is a powerful combination of appropriated message and medium, in which Jackson reflects darkly upon contemporary society and the portrayal of modern history.

The subject of a major travelling retrospective in 2009 and 2010, the contradictory and tautological nature of Roni Horn’s innovative and diverse output defies easy categorization. Simplified to its essence, however, the focus of her art is simply the viewer’s interaction with it. Horn’s seemingly straightforward sculptural installations, often incorporating language, are in reality highly intentional; they result from the artist’s long and thorough working method, and her engagement with the legacies of Conceptualism and Minimalism. The present lot, from her acclaimed 1993 series When Dickinson shut her eyes, comprises eight aluminium poles of different lengths leaning casually against the gallery wall, each bearing a line from Emily Dickinson’s poem A Wind that rose. With her striking interpretation of the words of the reclusive 19th-century American poet, Horn invites the viewer to explore the poem’s central themes of nature and identity, its cycles of life and death.

Following in the conceptual tradition started by Joseph Kosuth and Lawrence Weiner, Roni Horn’s homage to Dickinson investigates the possibilities of language as sculptural form.

Since the 1960s, Hermann Nitsch has defied traditional boundaries of painting, sculpture and performance. His famous, and indeed, infamous performances are provocative works that challenge our ideas of violence, transgression and pain. Nitsch’s ‘Splatter’ paintings exist as relics from the ritualistic and existential spectacles staged by the artist. With its utterly forceful display of paint and blood, the present lot expresses a terrifying but undeniable sense of beauty. Corporeally and metaphysically, the work conveys a potent contemplation of life and violence.

Andy Warhol was a visionary whose innovations changed the course of art history. From his early commercial illustrations to the iconic late self-portraits, the breadth of his art is truly astonishing.

The current lot, Hamburger Michel, is a prime example of Warhol’s wide-ranging oeuvre. The painting was produced at a time when the artist was exhibiting extensively in Germany in the early 1980s, in cities including Berlin, Hanover, Munich and Cologne. In typical Warholian fashion, the silkscreen is a multi-layered representation of a building in Hamburg. Elements such as diamond dust, traced outlines of the clock tower and colour blocks overlap, instantly creating a dynamic image.

The very definition of a Renaissance man, Olafur Eliasson inventively fuses the fields of art, design, architecture and science in his installation-based practice. Exploring ideas about experience, mediation and representation, he continually questions mankind’s relationship with space and time. His arresting works are a feast for the senses, pleasures that while often ephemeral to experience, create everlasting impressions. Installed under a glass ceiling, the mesmerizing Snow crystal roof filters, fragments, reflects and refracts natural light to create a kaleidoscopic show for the viewer below. Since the viewer’s visual experience varies depending the amount light flooding in from above the installation, Eliasson plays on the idea of phenomenology, a subject that he is interested in, to the extent that he not only invites the object and subject to intertwine, but abandons any sort of distinction between the two.

Instead, he allows one to feed off the other, thereby achieving a true artistic experience.

The numbering system used to document stars invites comparison with the numbering of prisoners in the Holocaust; and by doing so, Kiefer replaces Fludd’s theory that every star is connected to a plant with Celan’s quest for post-war reconciliation and an understanding of atrocity. The comparison of stars with victims parallels the attempt to comprehend an act which, to many, is still incomprehensible.

The idiosyncratic American artist Joseph Kosuth approaches art with conceptual and intellectual reasoning rather than artistic intuition. Like Marcel Duchamp, he is primarily concerned with the definition and meaning of a work of art. The creative process is achieved through his method of conceptualization and is highlighted by his critical questioning of visual representation and perception. Meaning (Art as idea as idea), 1967, is a prime example of Kosuth’s adoption of words and language as his artistic tools.

Devoid of everything aside from the mechanically printed words, the work can be seen as both a visual and a verbal code – one that invites the viewer to engage with the dialectical relationship between the idea of art and the realized art object. Kosuth’s preoccupation with language, meaning, relationships and the interpretation of visual information is, fundamentally, an enquiry into the very nature of art – with all the implications that suggests.

Jean-Michel Basquiat’s work was informed by a wide spectrum of art historical and cultural sources: graffiti art, African Primitivism, scientific source books, and the works of Jean Dubuffet and Cy Twombly. The present lot, entitled Ghost, neatly encapsulates the artist’s inner train of thoughts, as well as his extraordinary gift of expression. The raw pictorial format, effective use of blank space and seemingly random network of motifs and words bring an overwhelming sense of intimacy and immediacy to the viewer. As a poet, actor, musician, graffitist and artist, Basquiat was an enigmatic force whose life and work continues to intrigue.

“On a par with experiencing and reassuring oneself of one’s own everyday existence, the act of drawing was immensely important to Basquiat – in its own right, and not solely for its artistic outcome.”

(Dieter Buchhart, ‘A Revolutionary Caught Between Everyday Life, Knowledge, and Myth’, Basquiat, Fondation Beyeler, p. 11).

Andy Warhol and Joseph Beuys were both giants of 20th-century art. Warhol’s dark glasses and wig, as well as Beuys’ hat and vest, have become readily recognizable, and symbolize these two artistic personae. Any portrait of such a well-known artist by an artist as famous as Warhol, such as the present lot, inevitably invites speculation as to the personal and artistic connections between them, and presents an intriguing insight into two of the most influential yet enigmatic characters in contemporary art.

“We had breakfast with Joseph Beuys, he insisted I come to his house and see his studio and the way he lives and have tea and cake, it was really nice. He gave me a work of art which was two bottles of effervescent water which ended up exploding in my suitcase and damaging everything I have, so I can’t open the box now, because I don’t know if it’s a work of art anymore or just broken bottles. So if he comes to New York I’ve got to get him to come and sign the box because it’s just a real muck.”

Executed in 1961, the present lot is a prime example of Josef Albers’ most famous body of work, the Homage to the Square series. He first began working on the basic scheme of nested concentric squares, each hovering above the bottom edge of the last, in 1950 – and it was an endeavour he would pursue until his death 26 years later.

Producing hundreds of variations of this arrangement, Albers used the conceptual bounds of the humble square to explore a personal geometry of great sophistication. The squares within each painting related mathematically to one another, and Albers carefully planned his palette to juxtapose shades which reacted interestingly with each other, cleverly exploiting to the way the human eye processes colours which echo or oppose each another.

In direct contrast to the Abstract Expressionists of his generation, Albers executed these paintings with a deliberate, precise technique, employing a minimum of tools and avoiding any sort of painterly chaos. Instead, he would apply a single base coat on masonite, upon which he squeezed unmixed paints directly from the tubes, spreading each square as evenly and thinly as possible with a palette knife. The earlier Homages are chromatically playful, boldly eschewing academic colour theories, while later examples become more subtle in their colour schemes.

But whatever their aspect, the Homages should not be viewed as a inward-looking exercises in mere formalism; rather, each one induces a powerful and individual charge of visceral visual pleasure, no matter how long one gazes at it. For Albers, in the true spirit of the Bauhaus, created these works with a high moral purpose: he believed that if he could heighten a viewer’s perception, then that person would gain a greater awareness of the whole world.

“When I first painted a number of canvases grey all over (about eight years ago), I did so because I did not know what to paint, or what there might be to paint: so wretched a start could lead to nothing meaningful. As time went on, however, I observed differences of quality among the grey surfaces – and also that these betrayed nothing of the destructive motivation that lay behind them. The pictures began to teach me. By generalizing a personal dilemma, they resolved it. Destitution became a constructive statement; it became relative perfection, and therefore painting.

Grey. It makes no statement whatever; it evokes neither feelings nor associations; it is really neither visible nor invisible.

“Its inconspicuousness gives it the capacity to mediate, to make visible, in a positively illusionistic way, like a photograph. It has the capacity that no other colour has, to make ‘nothing’ visible. To me, grey is the welcome and only possible equivalent for indifference, non-commitment, absence of opinion, absence of shape. But grey, like formlessness and the rest, can be real only as an idea, and so all I can do is create a colour nuance that means grey but is not it.

“The painting is then a mixture of grey as a fiction and grey as a visible, designated area of colour. Finally; this kind of reductionist painting fascinates me in general, because I believe that it is a highly scrupulous and cautious attempt to achieve correctness, or rather definitiveness, in painting; that it pursues a quality which tends towards the valid and the universal. This seems to me important, in the face of a mindless, proliferating productivity that becomes less and less definitive.”

(Gerhard Richter, ‘Letter to E. de Wilde’, 1975, quoted in H.-U. Obrist, ed., Gerhard Richter, The Daily Practice of Painting, London 1995, pp. 82 – 83).

of the American artist’s landscape series.

Guggenheim Museum, New York, 1994, p. 137).

While true to his particular graphic style, Lichtenstein’s landscape paintings differ from the comic strips in their emphasis, for although both are deliberately stereotypical, many of the landscapes are so nearly abstract that their subject is not necessarily essential to their success as paintings. This is especially true of Prop for a Film and similar reductive works; they have a minimum of imagery, consisting primarily of an incised silhouette and just two areas of colour, translated into a screen of regularized Benday dots arrayed across the broad expanse of the picture plane.

Lichtenstein has bent nature to his design, a design that includes heavy black outlines not found in natural landscapes and organic forms changed into geometric ones, creating a highly structured image from a less orderly reality. It is possible to conclude from paintings such as Prop for a Film that Lichtenstein found in landscape an opportunity to embrace a certain level of abstraction, thus loosening almost entirely the links between the object and its

That Donald Judd is one of the most innovative post-war American artists is undisputed – his groundbreaking work has changed the course of modern sculpture. According to the artist, “Material, space and colour are the main aspects of visual art” (Dietmar Elger, ed., Donald Judd Colorist, Ostfildern-Ruit, 2000, p. 79). As Untitled demonstrates, Judd has utterly rejected the traditional conceits of sculpture by eschewing any traces of the artist’s hand and using industrial materials.

Rather than the usual painted aluminium, the work presented here is composed of plywood and Plexiglas – a rare example from his illustrious career. With pristine geometric simplicity, Judd places the emphasis on purity of form, colour and materiality.

Indeed, he called his works “specific objects” in order to stress their difference from conventional sculpture. First and foremost, Judd sought autonomy for his constructed objects and the spaces created by them. Notions of scale and order are explored, but it is the relationship between the object, the viewer and the surrounding environment that is central to the work. Judd’s unique vision, as seen here, is more than an investigation of material, space and colour; such a radical approach to art has had lasting influence in contemporary art, architecture and design.

British duo Gilbert and George, while celebrated in the popular media as an eccentric artistic double act, have produced a serious and important body of work which blurs the boundaries between art and life. The pair began working together in 1968 and have since championed the egalitarian ideal of ‘Art for All’. By addressing taboo subjects and questioning social conventions, they often expose the more hidden, shadowed aspects of life – a tendency well-exemplified

by Damned Buddleia. The buddleia plant is portrayed in stark contrasts of black and white within Gilbert and George’s trademark grid format.

The soft and fleshy flower forms deliver a decidedly erotic charge, but rather than suggesting a potent display of nature in bloom, a feeling of vulnerability pervades the work – the limp bouquet will, no doubt, wither in time, becoming a symbol of moral and sexual damnation.

Thus the work conveys, in essence, the universal feelings of hope and fear associated with modern society.

Trained as a scientist, Tony Cragg creates art that investigates the synthesis between the natural and material worlds. The sheer physicality of organic and synthetic objects forms the basis of his arresting and complex visual vocabulary. Cragg’s creations, like those of nature, are endlessly varied, ranging from witty works that involve stacking and accumulation to highly-finished carved figures and grand standing vessels. This work, Conical Flask, is a striking curvilinear vessel cast from highly polished and patinated bronze.

Its sinuous, biomorphic form conjures up notions of metamorphosis and evolution, even embryology. Appearing as if caught in a state of perpetual flux somewhere between abstraction and figuration, Conical Flask can be seen as a metaphor for, and a meditation upon, contemporary life.

Painted in Venice in the early 1960s, Ciclo is a large collation of forms, symbols and cipher-like signs combined into a dense, complex unity. Influenced by the Renaissance Italian master Tintoretto, a fellow Venetian, Vedova infuses the canvas with a colourful brilliance and freedom which give the work a sublime, primal beauty bursting with dynamism and energy.

Like his contemporary Willem de Kooning, Vedova incorporated newspaper pages into his composition, lending Ciclo’s surface a highly textured, almost three dimensional quality, and One of post-war Italy’s most accomplished painters, Emilio Vedova

using abstraction; as he stated in 1962, his paintings are “a cry

Convinced that, by its nature, revolutionary art had to be abstract,

for freedom at all costs”.

Vedova created pictures filled with wild patterns of smeared, poured and dripped paint. Although he briefly took evening art classes at the Scuola dei Carmini in Venice, Vedova was a mainly self-taught artist who constantly sought to represent the plight of man in a world of aggressive confrontation and social injustice.

Vedova was a major protagonist in the vigorous, highly politicized debate between realism and abstraction in Post-War Italy; and his raw, visceral paintings, influenced by Cubism and Futurism, reflected his left-wing convictions. He was a leader of several prominent movements such as Beyond Guernica, and urged fellow artists to engage with reality – meaning the anxiety and anguish of the period – without being naturalistic. His spontaneous, gestural painting style, reminiscent of the free abstraction of French art informel and American action painting, was coupled with explicitly political titles like his Cycle of Protest – a body of work to which the present lot belongs.

Highly influenced by two immediate predecessors, his compatriot Joan Miró and the Swiss painter Paul Klee, in 1948 Antoni Tàpies founded the most important artistic movement in post-war Spain.

Moving beyond his Surrealist and Dadaist roots, Tàpies developed a revolutionary style known as pintura matérica, in which he incorporated what were traditionally non-artistic materials into his paintings in a manner similar to his art informel peer, the Italian artist Alberto Burri. Fascinated by the contrasts between different materials, Tàpies covers his canvases with a thick, highly textured base incorporating matter such as clay and marble dust. To complete the composition, Tàpies adds incised and scribbled lines, various lacerations and graffiti-like marks.

Grey between Brackets is a strong early work which incorporates one of the most important and recurrent motifs of Tàpies’ oeuvre, the cross. Carefully rendered and incised like a strange wound or ritualized mark at the centre of the composition, the cross can be read as a symbol of the terrible human suffering inflicted by General Franco’s forces during the Spanish Civil War on the people of Tàpies’ native Catalonia.

Although his career was curtailed by his premature death, Juan Muñoz nevertheless managed, in a short period of time, to return figurative sculpture to the forefront of contemporary artistic practice. Presenting the viewer with haunting depictions of the human form, his dramatic installations create an intriguing tension between the illusory and the real. The work presented here depicts the rough, shadowy outline of a bust encased in a hinged wooden cupboard. Depicting a frozen moment in time trapped in an enclosed architectural setting, the voyeuristic nature of this piece puts the viewer in an awkward position. Serving as an allegory for the failure of communication and the impasse of language, this ambiguous, surreal tableau leaves the audience to interpret its own story and meaning.

“Muñoz’s figures are always either self-absorbed or involved in some enigmatic interchange that renders them obvious to all else.

Never soliciting any engagement with the viewer, their impregnable self-preoccupation cachets their audience, thereby creating a relationship that is unsettling as that generated between the architecture that shelters them and the discombobulated spectator.”

Trained as an artist and an anthropologist, Wangechi Mutu explores contemporary society’s perception of, preoccupation with, and eternal quest for beauty. Focusing on the identity of the African female figure in a global society, Mutu combines images of enhanced and artificial beauty with elements of the grotesque – a juxtaposition of forces which creates an image both enticing and repulsive. Challenging the viewer to question notions of female attractiveness as prescribed in magazines and advertisements, Mutu’s mutated figures are the result of a global society striving for an aesthetic which can never be.

Having arrived at sculpture relatively late in his career, the German artist Georg Baselitz has produced a body of work in that medium worthy of Picasso and de Kooning, the two other major paintersturned-sculptors of the 20th century. But rather than look towards the Western tradition in this medium, Baselitz has been inspired by the combination of the freshness of so much of African sculpture and the heritage from which it has come. The present lot is an imposing, totem-like statue executed in black-painted steel and crowned by a double-headed eagle. Grand and austere, the work has an official quality to it, almost as if it were commissioned by the state under the Third Reich. But as well as being an important emblem for Germany, the eagle has long held a symbolic meaning in world history, not to mention as a motif throughout Baselitz’ own work.

“I am not interested in adopting the elevated cultural vantage point of European sculpture and making use of all its sophisticated refinements. I set out to formulate things as if I were the first one, the only one, as if the precedents did not exist.”

(The artist, quoted in Georg Baselitz, exh. cat., Guggenheim Museum, New York, 1995, p. 100)

From photography to architecture to calligraphy, Zheng Guogu is an artist whose work does not conform to any particular medium or style. Zheng’s sculptural work often combines materials that serve as both tactile and symbolic matter. In Waterfall, the juxtaposition of metal ballast, embedded calligraphy scripts and melted wax can be seen as a reference to the tensions between China’s rich history and its recent transformations. Reminiscent of a mountainous landscape, the work hints at the ever-shifting environment of modern China. With great impact, Waterfall raises critical questions on ideas of permanence and temporality, of the past and the future.

The current lot is a rare watercolour by Liu Wei, enfant terrible of the Chinese avant-garde. Liu is a profoundly non-conformist artist; his subjective and often iconoclastic oeuvre is one that perfectly captures the wave of changes sweeping China in recent years.

The current lot comes from Liu’s Swimmers series in 1994, one of the most important and sought-after body of works by the artist.

Images of Mao swimming in the Yangtze River have long been engraved in the public conscience, but here Liu has abandoned the ideology of athletic doctrine for an imagined scene of flagrant sexuality. Mao is depicted emerging from the corner with his tongue sticking out perversely at the female figure. This deliberately crude portrayal of suppressed desire and sexuality is juxtaposed against the delicately painted ripples, erotically charged peony, and the sensual forms of the female body. In a bitingly satirical tone, Liu highlights the corruption of the soul and its manifestation on the human body, ultimately transforming his subjects into a revelation of moral character. Viewed in this context, this work reveals the overwhelming contradictions and tensions between the shifting currents of China’s rapid transformation.

Together with Yue Minjun and Fang Lijun, Yang Shaobin has emerged as one of the leading voices in contemporary Chinese painting. Yang’s work was influenced by the painterly traditions of Social Realism; but his interest in psychology and physiognomy can already be detected in early works such as Fun. Dating from 1992, it depicts a scene of five figures standing before a Chinese garden landscape. With varied expressions, the protagonists form a strangely compelling group.

The painting at once recalls staged family portraits and ideologically-loaded official group photographs. Looking more carefully at the work, however, the viewer slowly discerns that it may be a rather cynical portrayal of family unity. With its rigid contours, caricature-like figures and awkward poses, the image is suffused with a sense of irony and ambiguity. Although ostensibly portraying a scene of leisure and play, the protagonists are presented with a grimace as much as a smile or laugh, and there is a sense of forced enjoyment and civility. The painting works as both celebration and critique of the ordered, homogenous workings of Chinese society – the mobility of the average family, the one child policy, Confucian ideals of filial piety, and the monotony of everyday life. In short, Fun can be seen as Yang’s investigation into the cultural psychology of modern China.

The clashing ideologies of socialism and capitalism abound in Wang Guangyi’s work. As a towering exponent of the post-1989 Political Pop movement, Wang’s paintings serve as mediation between China’s totalitarian past and commercial present. The binary poles of communist idealism and western materialism are playfully explored through Wang’s appropriation of images from propaganda and advertising. Prada, from the iconic Great Criticism series, features a group of stoic proletarians in two-tone yellow, with the logo of Italian fashion house Prada firmly anchored in the foreground.

Rendered deliberately kitsch, the painting is suggestive of China’s superficial social environment; the tension between the potent legacy of propaganda and the powerful allure of advertising is easily felt. One wonders if the proletarians have high political hopes, or simply a desire for high fashion. The inscription ‘NO’ in the painting also has a certain ambiguity – are the figures refusing western consumerism or rejecting socialist values? Either way, Prada is a tongue-in-cheek comment about the ideological antagonism that exists between the two opposing doctrines.

Tom Wesselmann’s treatment of the female form is one of the most recognisable in 20th century art. Choosing the figure as his point of study, he transformed the semi-anonymous female nude into a symbol of both Pop Art and the new-found freedoms of the 1960s and 70s. His figures are highly sexualized, but at the same time disarmingly familiar – we are presented with stylised nude woman in her ordinary American home. In his studies, the artist is concerned more with the form of the figure than the specific individual. By removing the majority of facial features and placing the hands and feet out of the picture plane, Wesselmann concentrates the viewer on the contours of the body rather than the identity of the model. This focus on form is made more apparent by the limited background Wesselmann provides for his model; the backdrop’s solid colour blocks simply emphasize the lines of her figure, and draw the eye back to her torso.

Master draughtsman Keith Haring’s singular, signature style has always been lauded for its simplicity and movement. To Haring, drawings were never studies for works in other mediums but autonomous creations. With its bold graphic quality, complex composition and glorious colour scheme, the painting presented here carries all hallmarks of Haring’s rich body of work which was executed in the short time span before his untimely death in 1990.

“The drawings I do have very little to do with classical, postRenaissance drawings where you try to imitate life or make it appear to be life-like. My drawings don’t try to imitate life, they try to create life, try to invent life. That’s a much more so-called primitive idea, which is the reason that my drawings look like they could be Aztec or Egyptian or Aboriginal or all these other things, and why they have so much in common with them. It has the same attitude towards drawing: inventing images. You’re sort of depicting life, but you’re not trying to make it life-like. I don’t use colours to try to look life-like, and I don’t use lines to try to look life-like. It’s also much more Pop, I guess, after growing up in a really carbon- and comic- dominated period. And, also, growing up with Pop art.”

While looking for source material for his celebrated Nudes series, Thomas Ruff realized that virtual images on the internet no longer depict reality, but simply represent visual stimuli transmitted by purely electronic means. This flood of pictures on the web, in which imagery and digital data are combined, makes it almost impossible for viewers to distinguish between ‘real’ and ‘fake’ visual information. Ruff wanted to exploit his personal experience of technology to penetrate this realm of endless visual nothingness.

In order to create the psychedelic images of the Substratum series, Ruff used Japanese manga and anime comics as a starting point, digitally layering and multiplying them until he had a picture that was more or less devoid of meaning.

Sarah Morris makes complex, physical paintings that use rigorous overall grids and lurid colours, executed in brilliant household gloss paint on square-format canvases. As a panoramic portrait of America’s most sprawling metropolis, William Morris (Los Angeles) dynamically depicts LA’s unique architectural motifs and colour palette. Ambivalent in feeling, hanging somewhere between figuration and pure abstraction, the painting reduces its subject to line and colour. Having studied semantics, the artist is informed by an interest in signs and the de-coding of the built environment.

Therefore, while her approach may resonate with the strategies of rationalist modernism, running from Piet Mondrian to Peter Halley, Morris’s formal reductionism is in fact the product of a semiotically distilled reference to the urban world.

Composed of four individual panels in a grid format, the work displays all the hallmarks of Gilbert and George’s signature aesthetics, and is an outstanding example of the duo’s daring vision. By confronting the viewer with a swirling explosion of psychedelic shapes and colours, the artists communicate a powerful sense of psychological angst.

“We have inside ourselves a lot of thoughts, feelings, desires, dreams, hopes, fears – many things inside. And we, as artists, have a great, burning ambitious need to tell these things and to put these things out of ourselves.”

(The artists, quoted in Robert Violette, ed., The Words of Gilbert & George, London, 1997, p. 158)

“Although armed with an array of gestural brushstrokes, kitschy found objects and outdatedly ‘modern’ sculptural forms, Anselm Reyle skews his pieces away from their retro beginnings by yoking them with such futuristic materials as day-glo and fluorescent paint, neon light, silver Mylar and sheets of mirror. The results are futuromodern, perhaps, or retro-contemporary.

“In 1964 Clement Greenberg despairingly described how painterly abstraction had become, in the hands of a watered-down second generation, ‘by and large an assortment of ready-made effects’ where ‘the look of the accidental had become an academic, conventional look’. Forty years later these ready-made effects are willingly taken onboard by a new generation, ready to dissociate them from their original contexts without the need for the selfconscious irony of their Postmodern predecessors. The drip, the pour, the stain, the gestural brushstroke all have a role to play in Reyle’s painting, as do monochromes, striped canvases and black and white Op geometricism lifted straight from Victor Vasarely. For Reyle the painterly gesture is there for the taking: it has the same potential ready-made status as a found sculptural object.”

Like modern-day Dan Flavin or James Turrell, Iván Navarro is, literally, a sculptor of light. Building upon the Minimalist and Conceptual traditions, Navarro uses the seductive glow of neon to transform utilitarian objects. Record is a monumental sculptural installation in which the viewer’s eye is drawn down a perspective of receding geometric light forms, a visually hypnotic effect created by mirrors. As a deliberate distortion of spatial depth, this stack of ‘shelves’ made of fluorescent light tubes creates the illusion of several perspective points, and in doing so, pushes the boundaries of modern formalism to their limits. It is perhaps no coincidence that the artist, who uses light, a common symbol of hope and truth, as his medium, was born in Chile during General Pinochet’s brutal regime – indeed, Navarro’s work has been described as “humanitarian social sculptures whose light aims to illuminate the nebulous and nefarious undercurrents of both authoritarian and democratic societies” (Amy Ingrid Schlegel, press release for Iván Navarro, Tufts University, 2008).

Jim Lambie’s striking sculptures and installations reference popular culture, music and the everyday. Using a diverse range of materials and found objects, the Scottish artist blurs the boundaries between furniture, design and art to create works which play on the tensions between dualities such as art and craft, or decoration and function.

The Doors presents a contorted, brightly coloured door, one of his recurrent motifs, wedged between the gallery floor and the wall. Stripped of its utilitarian purpose, Lambie’s door becomes a fetishistic artefact, a reclassified object which has been granted a heightened aesthetic presence.

“Dismembered doors, cut up and folded in on themselves also bear mirrored surfaces in a crude visual pun, in part after William Blake (‘If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.’ William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, 1793), albeit via Aldous Huxley’s Doors of Perception (1954), in turn via Jim Morrison’s The Doors – and more particularly, via a much replayed performance of the band’s Light My Fire on the Ed Sullivan Show, when the band performed on a studio set dressed with hanging household doors.”

Tim Noble and Sue Webster operate by juxtaposing the languages of trash, glamour and kitsch. Celebrating British youth culture and the legacy of Pop art, over the last two decades the duo have created a witty and ironic body of work filled with imagery culled from banal everyday life. Forever – the second light sculpture from Noble and Webster’s iconic series – spells out in a nostalgic cursive script one of the most romantic and sentimental words in the English language, while acknowledging the text paintings of Jasper Johns and Ed Ruscha. However, the tacky carnival lights quickly turn what at first seemed like a study of the emotional connotations of a word into a display of how meaning can be lost within an abstract form.

Referencing the insatiable beast of consumerism with its gaudy, casino-inspired, blinking electric lights, Forever invokes sentiments of loneliness and emptiness with its trite, almost meaningless declaration of love.

Muñoz’s sculpture both tests the nature of reality and brings a poetic element to the post-Minimal art of his time. In the present work, the artist combines in a surreal manner the elements from daily life, such as a bucket and stairs, to create an illusion of potentially habitable space within a space that is otherwise alien.

Space was a fundamental concept for Muñoz: “Architecture and sculpture begin and end in their concern with space. Inhabited space, uninhabited, or to-be-inhabited space; even space as a metaphor” (S. Wagstaff, Juan Muñoz: A Retrospective, London, 2008, p. 96). Unlike the Minimalist artists who advocate Frank Stella’s famous dictum, “What you see is what you see”, Muñoz emphasizes his love of playing games with the spectator: “What you see is not what it seems to be” (ibid.).

With Imagine You Are Driving at Night (3) (1993), Julian Opie offers a modern take on the traditional genre of landscape painting.

Instead of picturesque views, en-plain-air painting, or the depiction of glittering reflections of light in vibrant paint, the contemporary landscape is a more mediated experience. Opie’s cool, detached pictorial rendition returns landscape to the western tradition of painting by offering a window to the outside world, but, by presenting our envisioning of nature to simulate the graphics of a computerized video game, he updates it to reflect our contemporary experience.

This work belongs to a group of twelve landscapes shown in the Hayward Gallery’s 1993 retrospective of Opie’s work.

“I think that when we look at art, one of the things we want to do is to attribute meanings. We try to uncover what it is that the artist is trying to do in this or that thing. This is a mode of transaction which at its simplest is to do with a certain kind of recognition – we recognize that something resembles something else. We don’t only do this in looking at art; seeing resemblances

is whether resemblance can be detached from objects. That quote about

the drawings has to do with trying to work out whether the conjunctions of resemblance, looking like, reminding of, referring to, are simple associative categories or whether they refer to something else. Metaphor is an example of a way in which objects can be put in relationship without them having any necessary resemblance; two things are put into conjunction and then you see the one in the other. It was that ability to evoke those kinds of responses – looking like, resemblance, and so on – which I had been trying to create. It requires a certain level of ambiguity, a certain level of giving and taking away at the same time. That’s the kind of thing that I was interested in.”

Strangle it is typical of Ling Jian’s bold, beautiful, and highly sexualized exploration of the notion of the ‘Communist sister’. On the one hand, the gagging of the mouth addresses the repression of the political voice, and on the other, the bloated lips suggest a suppressed feminine sexuality. Strangle it typifies Ling Jian’s masterful depiction of the feminine as an expression of his own discontent with the effect Communism has had on China both culturally and politically.

brazilian contemporary art Phillips de Pury is delighted to offer this oustanding group of works

by Brazilian artists of the last 40 years. Our goal is not just to draw attention to the fact that Brazil has produced a great deal of art but to demonstrate its excellence. By placing these works alongside their European and North American contemporaries, we aim to repudiate the common misconception that the art of the ‘Rest of the World’ is assumed to be derivative or at best exotic. For example, among the following group of works, there are highlights that show the extraordinary depth and sophistication of contemporary Brazilian art.

It also goes some way to show the significant development in artistic progression of the two cultural centres of São Paulo and Rio de Janiero.

No discourse on the art of Brazil is possible without placing Hélio

other significant artists such as Sergio Camargo, Anna Maria Maiolino, Cildo Meireles, and José Leonilson.

The extraordinary success of our recent BRIC theme sale has again proved that the appetite for Brazilian art is stronger than it has ever been. There has always been a very supportive regional market but now the international economic might of Brazil is matched by the global recognition of its culture. In the last few years there have been major retrospectives of Oiticica, Schendel, Meireles, and Lygia Clarke at Tate Modern, MOMA in New York, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. This is highly significant as it is in these leading institutions that the canons of modern and contemporary art have been formed and continue to be developed. This places Brazil’s cultural and artistic development ever more at the forefront of the international art scene and as an equal to the existing art ‘superpowers’.

Like many of the works in the series Project 3, this work is a profound exploration of the human condition and in particular the paradox of mortality. Discussing this particular work, Breuer-Weil stated: “In truth each of us is a floating soul, not rooted.

In Mortal I show life thriving on wooden planks that cover a large chasm. The whole structure is very flimsy, but people are going about their business very confidently” (quoted in the exhibition catalogue, David Breuer-Weil, Project 3, 9 –13 Mercer Street, London, 2007, p. 66).

catalogues may also be printed in US dollars 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 US dollars or euros as a guide only.

Catalogue Entries Phillips de Pury & Company 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.

Interested Parties announcement In situations where a person allowed to bid on a lot has a direct or indirect interest in such lot, such as the beneficiary or executor of an estate selling the lot, a joint owner of the lot or a party providing or participating in a guarantee on the lot, Phillips de Pury & Company will make an announcement in the saleroom that interested parties may bid on the lot.

Consecutive and Responsive Bidding The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller.

The auctioneer may further bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve by placing consecutive bids or bids in response to other bidders.
