Cheetah Stretching Ingwe FoundryS31 Bronze Sculpture Maquette 3/15 Monogram BMR
Located in BUNGAY, SUFFOLK
Bronze study of a stretching cheetah. RHS under the belly bearing Ingwe Foundry stamp, ‘S31’ or ‘S3I’, Edition 3/15, monogram BMR. Artist unknown. I have been unsuccessfully resarching who the artist could be. The stretching pose of the cheetah is contemplative with a graceful, ease and content expression suggesting its attunement and hierarchy within the landscape and the animal world. Its power is conveyed with a noble quality in the pose, the sleek form and the sinewy musculature. Beautifully handworked with rich brown patina. Almost certainly inspired by the work of Dylan Lewis...

Otto and Vivika Heino Monumental Ceramic Stoneware Pottery Tile Wall Plaque 1988
By Otto and Vivika Heino
Located in Studio City, CA
A wonderfully designed and exceptionally rare hand painted, earthenware three tile/panel plaque/ wall hanging by ceramics masters husband and wife artists Vivika and Otto Heino. Quite heavy and substantial in size. The couple was best known for their inspired designs and distinctive glazes. This massive 3 tile plaque, which shows clear signs of Asian influence, is attached to a board for hanging. Again exceptionally rare in both scale and design. We have never seen another like this by the couple. The work is signed and dated (1988). Would be the crown jewel in any Heino collection and sure to stand out in any setting, modern or otherwise. Very unique. Very rare. Dimensions: 47.5" high, 18" wide, 1.5" deep. The piece is quite substantial and weighs 44 pounds. The couple are winners of the following awards: Gold Medal from the sixth Biennale internationale de céramique d'art, in Vallauris, France, (1978). Silver medal from the International Ceramics Exhibitions in Ostend, Belgium, (1959). Their work can be found in the following museums and collections: American Craft Museum, New York City, NY American Museum of Ceramic Art, Pomona, California Ariana Museum, Geneva, Switzerland Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, Arizona Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, Maryland Brunnier Art Museum, Iowa State University, Ames Iowa Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution, New York, New York County Art Museum and Craft Folk Art Museum, Los Angeles, CA Craft and Folk Art Museum, Los Angeles, California Des Moines Art Center, Des Moines, Iowa De Young Museum, San Francisco, CA Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, New York Fitchburg Art Museum, Fitchburg, Massachusetts Fred Jones, Jr. Museum of Art, The University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma Hartford Jewish Community Center, Hartford, Connecticut Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebraska Long Beach Museum of Art, Long Beach, California Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Los Angeles, California Memphis College of Art, Memphis, Tennessee Mills College Art Museum, Oakland, California Mingei Museum, San Diego Museum of Art and Design, New York, New York Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA Newark Museum, Newark, New Jersey Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art, Utah State University, Logan, Utah Picasso Museum in Vallauris, France St. Paul Gallery, St. Paul, Minnesota Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery, Scripps College, Claremont, California Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC Southern Highland Craft Guild, Asheville, North Carolina Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota, Duluth, Duluth, Minnesota University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, Illinois Ventura County...

Oil Painting on Canvas by Yang Qian
Located in Atlanta, GA
Title: Hiding in The Jungle Artist: Yang Qian (Chinese; B. 1959) Medium: Oil on canvas Years: purchased circa 1990 A Palm Beach, FL collection An early work by Yang Qian during his sojourn in Florida, USA. The series delved into art history with reinterpretation and overlaying symbolism. The painting is set in a moody tropical jungle at night and is a clear reinterpretation and a dialogue between Henri Rousseau's The Dream and Paul Gauguin's La Femme du Roi. Although the two French artists were contemporaries, they may have not intersected in their personal lives. Pioneering and ground-breaking for their time, their work were celebrated posthumously and served as inspiration for later artists. For a similar painting Odalisque Now (c.1990) see lot 135 of Sotheby's Contemporary Art Asia sale...

Oil on Canvas Painting by Peter Todd Mitchell
By Peter Todd Mitchell
Located in Miami, FL
A very colorful oil on canvas painting by Peter Todd Mitchell. Bouquet of flowers with a surrealist Medusa image. About the artist: Born: 1924 - New York City Died: 1988 - Sitges, Spain Known for: Abstract and representational urban view painting, wallpaper design He was a very talented painter and writer in Europe and the United States. Mitchell exhibited at such famous galleries as the Hanover Gallery in London and the Carstairs Gallery in New York City. For many years he supplemented his income as a painter by creating textile and wallpaper designs. Mitchell's early years were spent in the company of the fashionable and famous surrounding his beautiful playwright mother, who was twice married to the great impressario Leon Leonidoff, Senior Producer of the Radio City Music Hall. His travels with them and his associations at an early age with a theatrical and literary crowd gave him a taste for the exotic. He died suddenly in Sitges, a small town south of Barcelona, in 1988.
