alexander calder
Alexander Calder (Lawnton 1898-1976 New York) Untitled, 1967 Gouache and ink on paper 50 x 66 cm Signed and dated lower left CA.68 This work is registered in the Calder Foundation Archives under n° A30212 Provenance: Galerie Jacques Verrière, Lyon; private collection, France; sale Artcurial, Paris In 1968, Alexander Calder created this gouache in his studio in Saché, near Tours, where he had settled in 1953. This work, made using gouache and ink, is distinguished by a palette of black, blue, red, and orange. Like all his gouaches, it reflects the spontaneity and simplicity that characterise Calder's work. The pieces created by Calder in Saché, where he founded "La Gouacherie" after moving there, are imbued with a minimalist poetry. This poetry emerges from pared-back means: elemental symbols, basic figures, and a palette of primary colours. Calder's gouaches directly echo his mobiles and stabiles. Although movement is physically absent from his gouaches, it is nevertheless suggested and imagined, introducing a temporal dimension that is frozen in space. This is how Calder captures a moment of movement in a static form. This 1968 piece is no exception. Through planes of black, blue, red, and orange, Calder manages to convey a sense of balance and fluidity.

Dino Martens (Venice, 1894-1970) For Aureliano Toso Murano, Italy, 1953 Oriente Rubinio (model 5242) Free-blown glass decorated with enclosed ground glass, flattened zanfirico pieces and transparent coloured glass squares H 34 x Ø 14.5 cm Provenance: acquired from an important German collection Literature: Heiremans M, Dino Martens, Muranese glass designer, Stuttgart, 1999; Heiremans M, Vetreria Aureliano Toso, Murano 1938-1968, Stuttgart, 2016 Exhibitions: XXVIa Espoizione Biennale Internazionale d'Arte, Venice 1952; Vidros de Murano em Lisboa, Lisbon 1961 The present object represents not only the Muranese fifties in full splendor by the combination of bold primary colors but is on its own also emblematic for the glass designs of the Venetian painter Dino Martens. Technically seen, it is the culmination of Martens experiments in coloring glass through ground glass. This series was presented as the 'Oriente', named after their vivid coloring - at the time a novelty on Murano - which reminded Martens of his years in East Africa. The line was firstly presented at the XXVI Biennial of Venice in 1952. Though seemingly arbitrarily, the composition - which consists of ground glass, transparent colored glass squares, flattened zanfirico canes and fragments of broken reticello vessels - was first carefully arranged on a flat surface before being heated and picked-up with a colorless blown form. Iconic because designed by a painter, alien to glass making.

abie loy kemarre
Abie Loy Kemarre (Australia, 1972) Bush Leaves-Optic, 2018 Acrylic on canvas 137 x 137 cm Provenance: Utopia, Central Desert, Northern Territory, Australia Exhibition: 2024, Knokke Art Fair, Arts d’Australie • Stéphane Jacob, Knokke-Heist, Belgium Abie Loy is part of the new generation of artists living in the Utopia community, in the heart of the Australian desert. She began painting in 1994 on the advice of her grandmother, the famous Kathleen Petyarre, who guided her in her first works, inspired by the ‘dreams’ of which she is the ritual guardian: principally that of the Bush Leaves, of which this painting is a celebration. Remarkable for its variation on the theme of dot painting, the impression of breathing that emanates from it, the hypnotic character of the motifs animated by a movement that is both centrifugal and centripetal, this painting demonstrates the high degree of awareness and aesthetic success that Abie Loy has achieved - proof of the high quality and inventiveness of modern-day desert painting.

Trained by Bourdelle to sculpt from live models, her work took on an anthropomorphic character after the war, with the human body remaining at the centre of her preoccupations, but from then on taking on an allegorical and fantastic character, in the image of this Sauterelle, whose tormented material takes on a dramatic character of existentialist essence. Charged with a primitive force that, as André Pieyre de Mandiargues points out, is ‘as much rock or stump as flayed man’, La Sauterelle is undoubtedly one of the artist's masterpieces, a sculpture that has evolved towards an unprecedented baroque and expressive naturalism. The Sauterelles are among Germaine Richier's most emblematic creations, the artist produced three different versions. La Sauterelle, petite (1944), La Sauterelle, moyenne (1945) and La Sauterelle grande (1955-1956) offer astonishing variations on the strangeness of this hybrid being, both woman and animal, and impose a remarkable questioning of form and balance through a play of juxtaposed squares, fostering the ambiguity of a work that is both frozen and in motion, ready to leap.
