Silex linen cupboard, circa 1905 Poplar, blue stencils, and painted blue iron. H 192 x W 70 x D 45 cm Provenance: Villa de L’Aube, collection of Gustave Serrurier-Bovy, Soyeur-Delvoye Literature: Jacques-Grégoire Watelet, "Gustave Serrurier-Bovy", Éditions Beaunord, Paris, 1989. p. 87 Built between 1902 and 1905 on the Cointe hill in Liège, the Villa de L’Aube was the personal home of Gustave Serrurier. A true manifesto of his conception of architecture, he lived there until his death in 1910. Intended for the children’s and staff’s bedrooms, the Silex furniture was made of poplar, assembled with simple iron screws, and decorated—some of it—with painted stencils. First appearing at the Château de La Cheyrelle in 1904, Gustave Serrurier would go on to incorporate the Silex furniture into the layout of his own house. This linen cupboard was part of the original furnishings of the villa.

Waerndorfer marble); Léo VAN PUYVELDE, George Minne, Bruxelles : Editions des “Cahiers de Belgique", 1930, cat. rais. nr. 31, p. 78, ill. pl. 31; Robert HOOZEE et al., George Minne en de kunst rond 1900, Gent : Museum voor Schone Kunsten, 1982, cf. cat. 95 & 96 RELATED WORKS It has been said that George Minne, with the present sculpture, directly influenced Gustav KLIMT (1862-1918) for the painting 'Wasserschlangen I' (1904/07), cf. Hoozee. It's appeal, however, has never faded, as can be seen in several variations on the pose which have been an integral part of the famous Belgian contemporary choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s so-called 'Attitudes'. NOTE ON VERSIONS Van Puyvelde mentions editions in marble, wood and bronze. In addition, several fine plaster casts with family provenances can be identified, amongst others at the MSK Gent and at the Museum Gevaert-Minne. Among the early collectors of bronze versions we find Hélène Kröller-Müller and Karl Ernst Osthaus, partly due to the fact that Minne’s ‘Baigneuse I’ has been a favourite for the inclusion in decorative settings designed by Henry VAN DE VELDE (1863-1959). Versions in marble are held at the Royal Museums of Art & History and at the Belvedere in Vienna. We have been unable to find records of any other versions of Minne’s ‘Baigneuse I’ in wood. Executed in a fine composite of boxwood to be precise, it is likely a unique piece in the material, and can therefore be identified as entry nr. 139 at La Libre Esthétique in 1902; where both a bronze version and a version in boxwood of Minne's 'Baigneuse' would have been exhibited under the title 'Figure de femme'. Interestingly, the 1902 exhibition of La Libre Esthétique in Brussels also marks the model's public debut, ranking the present version as one of the earliest in existance and one of the first two shown publicly.
