Headrest Kali Hahapo Patinated wood, sennet (coconut fibre), glass beads Tonga, late 18th-early 19th century H 19 x W 53 cm Provenance: Captain A.W.F. Fuller (1882-1961) given to Dr Roland Force, in recognition of Force’s work in cataloguing the Fuller collection (see below); Julian Harding collection; Wayne Heathcote; Patricia Withers collection (1934-1998), London; Sotheby’s London, 1988; Nasser Gallery, 2010; private collection Literature: The Mark and Carolyn Blackburn Collection, 2010, p. 246, ill. 146; The Fuller Collection of Pacific Artefacts, Lund Humphries, London, 1971; Pierre Loos, Bayet et Caltaux, La tête dans les étoiles. Appuis-nuque d’Afrique et d’ailleurs, BRUNEAF, 2012, p. 157 Exhibition: BRUNEAF, Bruxelles, Belgium, La tête dans les étoiles. Appuis-nuque d'Afrique et d’ailleurs, 6-10 June 2012 A comparable example in the Tongan National Museum, Tofoa. Also several neck-rests part of the collections in the National Museum of Australia, Canberra (inv. Oz 347 and inv. Oz 348) Of elegant arching form and carved in one piece from a dense, fine grained wood, possibly ‘Intsia bijuga’. Neck-rests of this type were used in Tonga as pillows to ensure that the elaborate coiffure of the owner would not be disturbed during sleep. ‘Kali’ acquired ‘mana’ (the spiritual force) by repeated contact with the owner’s head and in the case of a chief became objects of great prestige. This example, from the renowned Captain Fuller collection, is exceptional for the elegance and purity of its form, especially evident in the strongly curved legs ending in subtle horizontal flange feet. To each end of the ‘cross-bar’ glass beads have been inserted to enhance the decorative appeal and importance of this piece. In the opinion of George Ortiz no civilisation has equalled the Pacific Islanders’ superb furniture and domestic objects. Writing of Tongan neck-rests the great connoisseur of Polynesian Art Edward Dodd said: ‘What wonderful springing forms!’ For a comparable neck-rest (no. 689) in the James Hooper collection. Of classic Tongan form, it was however collected at Mbau, Fiji, in 1865. Compare also two ‘kali’ previously in the Fuller collection ( n° 274498 and 274499) and now in the Field Museum, Chicago.

Sam Francis (San Mateo 1923-1994 Santa Monica) Celestial Insect (72-020), 1972 Acrylic on paper 45 x 55 cm Signed and dated Sam Francis Archive SF72-020 Provenance: private collection, Italy Exhibition: Falchi arte Moderna, Milano, 1974 From the end of the 1960s, Sam Francis carried out in-depth research on light. He wondered about the two contradictory states of the latter: "black, the original background from which the light springs, and white, the base of the light and the sum of the colours." He sought to obtain a good balance since, according to him, "an increase in light causes an increase in darkness." His painting is not fixed, the irregular shape of the spots and the arrangement of the colours come to rest and form a network that is both structured and disarticulated.

alexander calder
Alexander Calder (Lawnton 1898-1976 New York) Untitled, 1967 Gouache on paper 77 x 110.5 Signed and dated N° Archive A18199 Provenance: private collection, Paris Calder's gouaches are spontaneous and simple, suffused with poetry. A poetry without artifice born from minimal means, such as elementary symbols, basic figures and a palette reduced to primary colours, arranged in solid colours that do not blend with each other. The gouaches are not that different from his "mobiles," except that here, the movement is imagined: a way of projecting time in space. In 1953, Calder moved to Saché where he created "la Gouacherie," where he made all his works on paper until 1976, as well as his mobiles and stabiles. "Alexander Calder possesses a clear gift of observation and the ability to draw a single stroke."
