It will feature something exceptional in the history of art: the first Slip Print made in 1961 by Antonio Recalcati (1938-2022). After beginning to make prints of his own body in oil paint in 1960, the following year Antonio Recalcati placed traces of his own clothes (shirt, pants, socks, pants, T-shirt, etc.) at the centre of his paintings. At the same time, Yves Klein was producing his beautiful Anthropometries, done in public and using the bodies of naked women as paintbrushes. On the other side of the Atlantic, Pop Art artists were also incorporating everyday objects into their paintings. But the references and atmosphere of Recalcati's paintings are radically different. The fruit of a hand-to-hand encounter between the painter and his canvas, in the solitude of the studio, these works have a dramatic tension that is offset by a singular luminosity and a great deal of vitality. In 2022, Galerie Kaléidoscope and Antonio Recalcati decided to embark on an ambitious process of rediscovery in France and abroad. Since the artist's death a year ago, she has represented the Estate, and will shortly be contributing to the launch of a catalogue raisonné of 60 years of painting. Antonio Recalcati was at the forefront of the great figurative renewal of the second half of the twentieth century, while constantly engaging in dialogue with his elders: from Etruscan painting to Picasso, via of course the masters of the Italian Renaissance.

Zebregs&Röell Fine Art and Antiques
A Mammoth ivory figure of an African Amor Flanders or Southern Germany, 17th century H 17.3 cm Provenance: private collection, United Kingdom; with Peter Petrou, London This figure has many iconological meanings. With the bow and arrows, it is an Amor, but since the bow, the quiver of arrows and one single arrow are lying on the ground together with a shield, they may symbolise unsuccessful or fended-off love. The Amor playing with his penis and blowing a whirligig together may be symbols of the fickleness and transitoriness of love. The chain with a cross around his neck is a Roman Catholic symbol and may point to a Catholic country of origin, probably South Germany or Flanders.
