hans op de beeck
Hans Op de Beeck (Turnhout, 1969) Crow, 2025 MDF, metal, polyamide, coating and bronze H 160 x W 80 x D 56 cm - Weight 39 kg Edition of 5 plus 2 APs Provenance: Studio of the Artist 'Crow' is a kinetic sculpture of a life-size flying crow. Powered by a mechanical system, the crow's flight creates the illusion of forward motion, although it remains suspended in place. 'Crow' evokes the world of fables and classic animated films, in which animals take on human traits. The work also alludes to the age-old tradition of mechanically animated figures, whose repetitive, joyless movements often inspire a quiet melancholy. At the same time, it is striking how lifelike and fluid such mechanically simplified movements can sometimes appear.
unforget Decorative Arts
line vautrin
Line Vautrin (Paris, 1913-1997) Crète de coq mirror, circa 1965 Talosel inlaid with mirror fragments H 50 x W 41.5 cm Diameter at sight of the central witch: 10 cm This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the Line Vautrin Committee “Crète de Coq”, mirror in black Talosel inlaid with mirror fragments, by Line Vautrin. This convex “witch mirror” features a radiant decoration of incised Talosel inlaid with polychrome mirror tesserae in shades of red, gold, copper, and silver. The spiral composition evokes the bristling energy and dynamic movement of a cockscomb, its form at once organic and architectural. A rare and technically demanding creation, Crète de Coq exemplifies Vautrin’s experimental mastery of Talosel - a material she both discovered and transformed into a medium of pure artistic expression. In this piece, she chose a warm palette of reds, oranges, golden ambers, and bronzed tones, creating a striking contrast with the deep black of the Talosel structure. The frame itself unfolds in six spiraling curves, each extending into a series of radiant, gently curved points that seem to shimmer and vibrate with light. Singular within her oeuvre, this asymmetrical spiral composition differs from Vautrin’s more familiar series, revealing her ability to reinvent form and rhythm through subtle variations. Crète de Coq is not merely a mirror, but a luminous, poetic sculpture - an enchanting testament to Line Vautrin’s imagination and her genius for turning humble materials into magical, living art.

tokuda yasokichi iii
Tokuda Yasokichi III alias Kutani Masahiko (Japan, 1933-2009) Porcelain vase Japan, late 20th century H 29.5 cm Signed ‘Kutani Masahiko’ on the base Literature: Yosai - Tokuda Yasokichi Sakuhinshu (The works of Tokuda Yasokichi), Kodansha 1995, Japan This elegant Kutani porcelain vase by Tokuda Yasokichi III - designated a Living National Treasure in 1997 - exemplifies his groundbreaking approach to traditional ceramic art. The slender, tapering body is enveloped in a rich aubergine glaze, punctuated by a single iridescent blue stripe flowing vertically from the mouth to the base. This striking effect was created using Yasokichi’s innovative saiyū (polychrome overglaze) technique, which brought new luminosity and abstraction to Kutani ware. Born Masahiko, Yasokichi III redefined the possibilities of Kutani ceramics, elevating them into a modern art form. Today, his works are held in leading international museum collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the British Museum.
