Thomas Deprez Fine Arts
Gabrielle Montald (born Canivet) (Brussels, 1867-1942) Decorative bird, 1929 Gouache and ink over gold ground on paper 61.5 x 46 cm (sheet) 64 x 48 cm (framed) Signed and dated lower right ‘G. Montald 29’ Provenance: private collection, Belgium Related works: Among Gabrielle Montald’s most significant autonomous bodies of work, the so-called 'Oiseau décoratif series' occupies a central position. Although the motif appears as early as 1914, the majority of these works were produced between 1925 and the early 1930s. Following her international recognition at the 1925 'Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris', where her imaginative bird drawings were prominently exhibited, the series expanded in both scope and refinement. In 1927, three of the works shown in Paris were acquired by the Belgian government, marking the beginning of an institutional recognition that endures to this day. Rarely appearing on the market, a large part of Gabrielle Montald’s known oeuvre, including her textiles and bookbindings, is now preserved in Belgian museum collections.

Anselm Kiefer (Donaueschingen, 1945) Weiß wie Gittertünche, 1989-2020 'I don't paint illusions, but real human situations.' Emulsion, acrylic, oil, charcoal, chalk, burned books and thread on canvas 280 x 380 x 33 cm Provenance: private collection, Paris An exceptional work by Anselm Kiefer, one of the most influential figures in contemporary art, Weiß wie Gittertünche embodies the artist’s profound exploration of history, memory and collective identity. Executed on a monumental scale of 280 × 380 × 33 cm, this powerful painting combines emulsion, acrylic, oil, charcoal, chalk, burnt books and thread on canvas. Its extraordinary material richness creates a striking physical presence, transforming the painted surface into a landscape of traces, scars and accumulated history. The title is drawn from the poetry of Paul Celan, the great German-language poet of the post-war period, whose writing profoundly resonates with Kiefer’s artistic vision. The imagery evokes the tension between order and confinement, concealment and revelation, remembrance and oblivion. Through its layered textures and expressive materiality, the work invites a compelling reflection on the fragility of historical memory and the erasure of identity. Rather than offering an easy aesthetic resolution, Kiefer confronts the viewer with the complexity of the human condition and the enduring weight of the past. Its particular interest lies in the synthesis of painting, sculpture and historical reflection, a defining characteristic of Kiefer’s practice. The use of burnt books is especially significant, evoking the destruction of knowledge and the devastating consequences of cultural erasure. Kiefer’s works are held in major international collections, including the Louvre, the Centre Pompidou and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His monumental installations and museum retrospectives have established his international stature.

Guy Pieters Gallery
Pierre Alechinsky (Brussels, 1927) Paysage impressionné, 1959 Oil on canvas 205 x 289 cm Pierre Alechinsky’s ‘Paysage impressionné’, executed in 1959, is a large oil painting from an important early period in the artist’s career. Painted after the CoBrA movement had dissolved, it reflects his interest in spontaneous, expressive forms, a vivid sense of movement and the freedom of the brush. The lively brushwork and interplay of colours give the painting a sense of movement, while the broad composition feels balanced and harmonious. This combination of energy and control makes the work especially engaging.

Samuel Vanhoegaerden Gallery
Karel Appel (Amsterdam 1921-2006 Zurich) People, Birds and Sun, 1951 Gouache and pastel on paper, mounted on canvas 65 x 100 cm Signed and dated lower right Provenance: the estate of the artist; Galerie Max Hetzler, London Exhibition: Karel Appel-Cobra/Non Cobra, Galerie Max Hetzler, London, January-February 2024 This work by Karel Appel embodies the playful, instinctive visual language that makes his finest Cobra-period pieces so instantly recognizable. As the original version of the painting held in the Tate Gallery’s collection, this piece offers a glimpse into the evolution of a composition in which the imagination is given free rein. A child, a bird, a sun, and fantastical creatures appear alongside and intertwined with one another, without ever conforming to a traditional representation of reality. The figures are childlike and direct. Large eyes, erratic contours, and bold, spontaneous lines lend them an expressive presence. Appel does not paint what he sees, but rather he paints what he imagines and senses. The exuberant colors - yellow, red, green, blue, and black - collide, overlap, and amplify one another. The yellow plane infuses the composition with light and energy, while the dark lines provide structure to the various figures. This combination of childlike spontaneity and controlled painterly craft lies at the heart of Appel’s Cobra aesthetic.
