About the Item

Presenting a lovely limited edition etching, namely, “The Souk” limited edition etching by Azoulay Guillaume. From 1982 the etching is numbered and signed in pencil. It is numbered 101/300. By renowned contemporary Moroccan Artist, Azoulay Guillaume, the etching features a classic Moroccan scene of a ‘souk’. Framed and under glass. Guillaume Azoulay was born in Casablanca, Morocco in 1949. Since age thirteen, Azoulay’s thirst for adventure has taken him to many parts of the world, earning his way by painting and performing as an actor. Azoulay met his wife Charmine Seal, noted Welsh ballerina, in Israel, and in 1976 they arrived in the United States. In this short time span, Azoulay has worked to establish himself as an American etcher. In 1983, Azoulay was chosen to create the official Kentucky Derby Festival Poster. He was challenged by the thought of creating image that combined his love of horses with the excitement of the world’s greatest horse races. His latest series of etchings are intended to capture the spirit and vitality of racing’s most important competitions: Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and the Belmont. Included in the artist’s achievements are the acceptance of seven of his works in the permanent collection of the Musee Du Louvre (Cabinet Des Dessins). His work is in the private collections of President Ronald Reagan, His Majesty King Hassan II of Morocco, President Francois Mitterand of France and the late President Sadat of Egypt. Several works by Azoulay are in the Nelson Rockefeller Collection. An early critique of Azoulay’s said of him that he is “a young man whose varied and prolific work lets us predict a very bright future.” (Mr. Daniel Serrulaz Chief Curator Musee Du Louvre, 1978) Major Exhibits: Rome Biennale, Rome, Italy 1965 Cassa Panca Gallery, Sardinia, Italy 1969 Huset Gallery, Copenhagen, Denmark 1970 Gallerie Orphee II, Paris, France 1973 Centre Culturel Juif, Paris, France 1975 Cassidy Gallery, Albuquerque, New Mexico 1978 Galerie La Fenetre, Houston, Texas 1978 Wash’Art, Washington, D.C. 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981 American Design, New Orleans, Louisiana 1979 Lake Gallery, Tahoe City, California 1979,1980 Union Art Gallery, San Francisco, California 1979 Fallen Leaf Gallery, Reno, Nevada 1979, 1980 Gallery One, Denver, Colorado 1979 Richard Mann Gallery, Los Angeles, California 1979 Prints 800, Los Angeles, California 1980 Towne Plaza Gallery, Beverly Hills, California 1981 Towne Plaza Gallery, Mission Viejo, California 1981 New York Art Show, New York, New York 1981 Art Expo West, Los Angeles, California 1981 Hanson Galleries, New Orleans, Louisiana 1981 Gallery One, Cherry Creek, Denver, Colorado 1981,1983 John Miller Gallery, Carmel, California 1981 Art Expo, San Francisco, California 1981 Martha White Gallery, Louisville, Kentucky 1983.

Paresh Maity Watercolor on Board, Encounter I
Located in Dallas, TX
Presenting a glorious contemporary piece of Art by a recognized Indian Master – Paresh Maity Watercolor on Board – Encounter I. This piece has impeccable Provenance! It was purchased by a Private Dallas Collector at Sotheby’s New York Auction on 18th September 2008. Lot No. 74. Sotheby’s operate a twice yearly auction of Southeast Asian Art & Antiquities in New York in the months of March and September. This sale was titled “Modern & Contemporary Indian Art”. The Lot consisted of a Group of 3 Watercolors by Babu Xavier, Paresh Maity and Ranjit Kurmi. (b.1960, b.1965, b.1970) Three Untitled Works. Signed and dated ‘Paresh Maity ’02 lower right, watercolor and ink on paper. …. 5.6 x 3.6 (14 x 9 cm)”. Exhibited: Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Modern Indian Art, Cornell University, Ithaca, April 8 – June 11 2006. The Provenance is given as: “Property of Private Maryland Collectors”. The 3 watercolors carried an Auction estimate of USD 3,000 to USD 4,000 and Sold for USD 4,000 (not including Buyers Premium). Allowing for inflation alone this would be over $7,000 in today’s value. We have this watercolor by Paresh Maity and (listed separately) the Babu Xavier watercolor, but not the Ranjit Kurmi watercolor. As an added bonus and proof of authenticity the painting still retains it’s original Sotheby’s Lot No. Label. It has substantially increased in value over the years as a HIGHLY DESIRABLE piece from an exhibited and highly collected Modern Indian Master painter. We also possess the Babu Xavier watercolor in our Collection! Paresh Maity (born 1965) is an Indian painter...
