walter sauer
Walter Sauer (Brussels 1889-1927 Algiers) Pensive woman, circa 1925 Mixed media 78.5 x 61.3 cm Signed upper left 'WS Walter Sauer' Provenance: private collection A unique, elegant style characterises the art of Walter Sauer, an artist who, in his short lifetime, lit up the Belgian art scene in the first twenty years of the twentieth century. Sauer's hand has a sensitivity to form that is characteristic of decorators; reality, in his eyes, is stripped of that which is superfluous, showing the noble essence of form. This essentiality, combined with an absolutely personal technique, makes Sauer's works instantly recognisable. The figure of the woman is the leitmotif of the artist, who combines his vision of the model with a series of cultural references ranging from Japanese art to Western tradition.

Jan Muller Antiques
Netherlandish School, circa 1500 Triptych with the Crucifixion and scenes from the Passion Oil on panel 51 x 36.5 cm (closed) 51 x 73 cm (open) The gallery is grateful to Dr. Didier Martens for his expertise The Crucifixion with Saint Jerome and Saint Dominic and Scenes from the Passion, Original frame. This triptych depicts Christ on the Cross, flanked by the sorrowful figures of the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist. Kneeling at the foot of the Cross are Saint Jerome and Saint Dominic, the latter holding a rosary. In the landscape beyond unfold several scenes from Christ’s Passion, culminating in the Crucifixion. This version follows the composition preserved in the Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh, which originally formed one half of a diptych. Its companion panel, depicting The Coronation of the Virgin, is held in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam. The distinctive iconography is closely associated with the Dominican devotion to the Rosary. Surrounding the central Crucifixion are smaller narrative scenes illustrating key moments from the Passion of Christ: • Christ in the Garden of Olives: Following the Last Supper, Christ withdraws to the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives. In deep anguish, he prays to be spared his suffering, while ultimately submitting to God’s will. • The Circumcision: According to the Gospel of Luke, this event occurred eight days after Christ’s birth, during the Brit Milah ceremony at which he received his name. • The Flagellation: This scene depicts the scourging ordered by Pontius Pilate, the customary prelude to crucifixion under Roman law. • Christ on the Cold Stone: The pensive Christ sits, crowned with thorns and bearing the marks of his scourging, his head resting in contemplation. This image reflects the influence of the Devotio Moderna, a movement that emphasized Christ’s human suffering as a model for personal devotion.

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.

"A print is a major undertaking, involving fifteen different stages. There are fewer hours of work in a large painting than in a small print; it demands willpower, precision, and hours upon hours of concentration" Miquel Barceló. Painter, sculptor, and ceramist, Miquel Barceló has shown from the beginning a keen curiosity for printmaking techniques. He has experimented with them at various stages of his career, both alone and in collaboration with renowned printers, and continues to practice in a dedicated space in his studio.
