"Orientalist Interior" Watercolor by Philippe Jullian Ex- D.D. Ryan Estate
By Philippe Jullian
Located in Bristol, CT
Elegant & fabulously rare, original Philippe Jullian (1919-1977) (ink signed LR) watercolour depicting a lavish Moorish opium salon interior with a reclining nude portrait on the wall and two monkeys with their turban clad handler. Sagittarius Gallery, NY label inscribed Jullian No. 18 on verso Art Sz: 8 3/4"H x 11 1/8"W Frame Sz: 16"H x 18"W w/ Hermes orange mat & antique bamboo frame Provenance: The estate of D. D. Ryan (1928-2007), noted fashion editor at Harper's Bazaar, an associate of Halston and a regular on best-dressed lists! Another widely appreciated achievement is her association with the creation of Eloise, the fictional little girl who lives at the Plaza Hotel. Eloise began as a character that Kay Thompson, a cabaret singer, portrayed to amuse her friends, of whom Ms. Ryan was one. Ms. Ryan urged her to write a book, put her together with Hilary Knight, the illustrator, and never stopped pushing her to finish the job. The result was “Eloise,” published in 1955 and a best seller the next year, and its popular sequels. “The book would never have existed without D. D. Never,” Mr. Knight said in an interview Thursday. “She would have just dropped it and gone on to something else.” Beyond her historic Eloise moment, Ms. Ryan thrived at the crossroads of New York’s fashion and artistic worlds, seeming to make a statement every time she dressed, almost always in clothes she made herself, always recognizable with her famous precisely stylized eyebrows. Her first job in Manhattan was as an assistant to the photographer Richard Avedon; she was photo editor at Harper’s Bazaar under the legendary editor Diana Vreeland, and she designed the costumes for Stephen Sondheim’s 1970 Broadway musical “Company.” Her social circle included Cole Porter, Andy Warhol, Mr. Sondheim and Truman Capote. When she recommended a new pair of sandals or a piece of costume jewelry — only “really good costume jewelry...

Study for a Monument in the Heroic/Erotic/Academic/Comic Style Claes Oldenburg
By Claes Oldenburg
Located in New York, NY
This sensuous and playful scene is characteristic of Oldenburg’s printmaking ouevre: a veritable heap of women displaying various expressions of ecstasy and repose. The loose sketches were drawn directly onto the plate by the artist, a master draftsman whose erotic etchings are largely unknown. The composition is based on the drawing: Clinical Study, Towards a Heroic-Erotic Monument in the Academic/Comic Style, 1965, ball-point pen on paper, 20 x 40 in. / 60 x 101.6 cm. *This print was etched in six gorgeous inks, each in an edition of ten: take your pick of color!* Oldenburg had an interest in imaginary monuments: he famously conceptualized works such as “Ball”, an unbuilt monument conceived of in 1967 which imagined two ballcocks – the round mechanism in a toilet tank...

Mid Century Modern Interior Design Presentation Gouache Meuble Mural
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Title: Mid Century Modern Interior Design Presentation Gouache Meuble Mural Medium: Gouache ink and pencil on paper, unframed Size: 25.5 x 19.75 inches (height x width) Provenance: private collection Condition: Fair vintage condition. Noticeable creasing, edge wear and handling marks. Light foxing and surface dirt visible. Lower right corner slightly worn. Paper shows age toning throughout. Structurally sound but clearly a working design sheet. Description: A striking mid century French interior design presentation drawing titled Meuble Mural, depicting a modernist living room concept centred around a bold red wall unit. Executed in gouache, ink and pencil on artists paper, the composition presents a fully realised architectural perspective alongside a secondary floor plan study below, typical of professional design proposals from the 1950s or 1960s. The main perspective showcases a dramatic modern interior with clean architectural lines, floor to ceiling glazing, and a sculptural arrangement of low lounge chairs gathered around a circular table. The vibrant red wall unit forms the focal point of the composition, contrasted against muted grey walls and deep green flooring. The integrated shelving system, or meuble mural, reflects the era’s emphasis on built in storage and minimalist design. Stylised human silhouettes provide scale and reinforce the presentation quality of the work. Below, a monochrome floor plan reveals the spatial arrangement of the seating area and architectural elements, further confirming this as a professional design study rather than a purely decorative artwork. The careful use of colour blocking, perspective drawing and graphic typography aligns closely with mid century modern interior architecture, French modernist design and post war European decorative arts. This piece would strongly appeal to collectors of mid century modern design drawings, architectural presentation artworks, and interiors inspired by 1950s and 1960s French modernism. The presence of the French title Meuble Mural significantly enhances search visibility for collectors seeking original interior design concept art and vintage architectural renderings...
