Tom Wesselmann (Cincinnati 1931-2004 New York) Long Beach Seascape, 1991/95 Alkyd oil on cut-out aluminum 99.1 x 190.5 cm Signed and dated on the back Provenance: the estate of the artist © 2026 The estate of Tom Wesselmann / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York Tom Wesselmann’s creative approach was in constant evolution throughout his long and productive career. Never one to follow artistic convention, he continually sought new materials and formats. His fascination with innovative surfaces and technologically advanced techniques drove him to push aesthetic and formal frontiers, as seen in 'Long Beach Seascape'. In the 1980s, Wesselmann developed a laser cutting technique that opened up a new world of creative possibilities. Using this novel method, the artist delighted in transposing his bold visual vocabulary into works that challenged the boundaries between painting, drawing, and sculpture. Speaking to the New York Times in 1985, Wesselmann couldn’t contain his enthusiasm for the new medium: 'I've just had the best year of my life [...] I always work in a kind of near ecstasy, anyway, but there's really been something about the new work that grabbed me.'' Centering dynamic line and vibrant colour, 'Long Beach Seascape' demonstrates the artist’s endless pursuit of radical forms of creative expression.

NYX Ring 18kt yellow gold, diamonds, spessartine and red enamel At the heart of the Nyx Ring, a vivid natural spessartine appears almost illuminated from within, its intense orange colour emerging against deep red enamel, natural white diamonds and 18kt yellow gold. Named after Nyx, the primordial Greek goddess of night, the ring explores the tension between darkness and light.

Abstrakte Bilder', Dusseldorf 2013 Gerhard Richter has been exploring abstraction in depth since the late 1960s. In the late 1990s, he developed the ‘Fuji’ series. As part of this series, Richter no longer applies paint to canvas, but to Alucobond, an aluminium composite panel. This highly durable panel with a smooth surface allows for the creation of particularly delicate colour structures. Richter applies the three colours that form the basis of the painting - a vibrant red, a rich green and a warm yellow-orange - to the substrate in three horizontal bands. Using a squeegee, a painting tool resembling a narrow plastic strip, the artist applies the white oil paint and draws it across the coloured surface in thin layers from the top to the bottom edge of the picture. The white paint blends with the tones of the background. This technique creates a highly complex, delicate structure on the panel, characterised by great painterly subtlety. Viewed from top to bottom, red, green and white alternate with one another. The orange, also used by Richter, is now only partially visible in the right-hand half of the composition. As the application of paint with a squeegee can only be controlled to a limited extent, the principle of chance comes into play. The title ‘Fuji’ allows for interpretation on two different levels, namely, ‘[…] the conical volcano on the island of Honshu, which, as Japan’s sacred mountain, is the country’s national symbol, and the Japanese film and photography manufacturer of the same name, whose products are also widely available in Germany. As a photographer, Richter sometimes uses Fuji film; furthermore, in 1991 he spent two weeks travelling through Japan, during which he saw the famous mountain. Some of the paintings, with their streaky, at times almost graphic structural elements, do indeed bear a distant resemblance to old-master Japanese or Chinese landscape depictions.' The background to the creation of the ‘Fuji’ paintings lies in the approach made to the artist by Helmut Friedel, director of the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus. Richter’s ‘Atlas’ - a collection of photographs, sketches, documents and reference materials by the artist - was to be acquired for the Lenbachhaus collection. To finance the purchase, Richter agreed to paint a series of oil paintings for the museum. The proceeds from the sale of these ‘Fuji’ paintings played a key role in enabling the museum to acquire the ‘Atlas’ collection of documents. Much like the works in the ‘Green-Blue-Red’ series, the appearance of each individual painting in the ‘Fuji Edition’ varies considerably, as they were painted in portrait rather than landscape format. Furthermore, the varying degrees to which the base colours had dried by the time the white layer was applied result in the colours blending in ever-changing ways. Whilst some ‘Fujis’, with their extremely delicate colour blends, invite the viewer to discover their detailed textures, others, in stark contrast, exude a particularly strong sense of self-assurance. Although the ‘Fujis’ comprise a series of 110 works conceived along the same lines, each one is unique and wonderfully illustrates the principle of Gerhard Richter’s abstract painting, which treads the fine line between conceptual work and the principle of chance.

Domenico Morelli (Naples, 1823-1901) Cesare Borgia in Capua, 1854 Oil on canvas 131 x 183.5 cm Provenance: Count Tasca d'Almerita of Palermo Literature: Almerinda Di Benedetto, 'The painted history: Domenico Morelli and the Sack of Capua' in Rosanna Cioffi, Ornella Scogliamiglio, MOSAIC, Themes and methods of art and criticism for Gianni Carlo Sciolla, vol. 2, Luciano Editore, 2012 Exhibition: Exhibition of Fine Arts in Palermo, 1856, presented as: Cesare Borgia after the siege of Capua makes women who had taken refuge in a basement of the castle draw It is above all through the letters to his friend Pasquale Villari that we know the various moments of the work that allow the painter Domenico Morelli to complete the painting 'Cesare Borgia in Capua', commissioned by the wealthy German entrepreneur Ettore Giulio Marstaller. On September 26, 1849 Domenico Morelli wrote to Villari that Marstaller had been very interested in a 'drawing sketch representing Cesare Borgia after the capture of Capua who chooses among the women locked up in a tower 40 of the most beautiful and we agreed that he will execute the painting of the same size as the bodies, with torchlight'. The relationship between the painter and the client was somewhat troubled, to the point that Domenico Morelli proposed the painting to another buyer. Completed in the spring of 54, due to Marsteller's death, the painting was sold in January of the following year to Count Tasca d'Almerita of Palermo. In 1856 the painting was thus presented at the Exhibition of Fine Arts in Palermo with the title 'Cesare Borgia after the siege of Capua makes women who had taken refuge in a basement of the castle draw', obtaining enthusiastic judgments to such an extent that in the magazine 'Il Poligrafo' the regret of not being able to grant the Neapolitan painter a diploma of gratitude, as the regulation provided for it only for Sicilian artists. The certain motivations for Morelli's choice of this dramatic historical event are not known, but, as Almerinda Di Benedetto points out, it is shown 'certain, however, that the identification of an event so historically full of meaning, both for the terribleness with which the events took place, and for the very strong symbolic message transmitted by the behavior of the Capuans, strenuous and indomitable defenders of their own land and of the moral and civil values linked to it, appears more than appropriate in an era permeated by deep Risorgimento and patriotic moods'. In relation to the terrible decision of the ruthless Duke Valentino to perpetrate an unprecedented massacre in Capua to the detriment of the helpless population, which came to count a few thousand victims, the professor and researcher Almerinda Di Benedetto recommends the 'very recent publication by Giancarlo Bova, Il sacco di Capua, July 24, 1501, in which the author contributes, with the contribution of unpublished documents, to make greater clarity on the chilling story of the memorable massacre'. As far as the purely pictorial aspect is concerned, in the year 1925 Vittorio Spinazzola would have condensed the description of the work in the following lines: 'the lush canvas, in which all the virtues of his imagination, his brush, the wise research, the sensuality of the forms, the tumultuous yet Latinally contained impetus of the composition were employed, connecting to our Venetian or seventeenth-century Neapolitan tradition, in which the wonderful bottom of battlemented walls and towers glimpsed in a gold dust and the mastery of the groupings, the glimpses, the nudes, would be enough to show how much his mastery of the drawing, the brush, the form would be enough'.
