éric antoine
Éric Antoine (France, 1974) Tidy V, 2024 Ambrotype 40 x 40 cm Provenance: the artist's studio Exhibition: La Fabrique des Éléments, 4 October-7 December 2025, Galerie Capazza, France In the Cerveaux (Brains) series, from which Tidy V originates, layers of leaves and stacked documents tell stories of real or imaginary lives. The ambrotype, one of the earliest photographic processes using a camera obscura, is created using wet collodion applied to a glass plate, resulting in a unique piece. With a contemporary approach, Eric Antoine uses wet collodion for its precision, deep blacks and silvery density. His work is closely linked to his place of residence and his memories. In the landscapes of the Alsatian Vosges, he developed a fascination for trees, which he studies in anthropomorphic portraits. Through a stationary journey, Eric Antoine often returns to the same places to capture their slow evolution. His work is organised into series in which destinies are recounted using layered still lifes, drowned flowers and accumulations of objects/symbols. These photographs without subjects challengethe very essence of this medium: light, optics, chemistry. The question of the materiality of the image remains at the heart of the artist's research. Far from any nostalgia, the wet collodion process here is an emancipatory discipline. In an almost sculptural approach, Eric Antoine delivers true photograph-objects, shimmering and silvery.

Englebert Van Anderlecht (Brussels, 1918-1961) Rome 1, 1960 Oil on canvas 150 x 122 cm Signed, dated and titled on the reverse Inventory number 664 on the reverse Provenance: private collection, Brussels Literature: Serge Goyens de Heusch, Englebert Van Anderlecht, Mercator, 1998, ill. p. 207; Englebert Van Anderlecht, exhibition catalogue, MRBAB, Brussels, 1990, ill. n° 79 Exhibitions: Galerij M.A.S. Astene, march-april 1969; Museum van Deinze, Englebert Van Anderlecht, March-May 1990; MRBAB, Englebert Van Anderlecht, Brussels, 1990 In the shadow of war and its aftermath, Englebert Van Anderlecht began his career as an artist in the early 1940s, right in the midst of the global conflict. After this tragedy, the “young Belgian painting” movement brought together a group of artists in a state of euphoria. Their style was colorful and optimistic - a form of rebirth, a way to forget and move toward new horizons. By the late 1940s, there was a desire to recreate new rules - or rather, to affirm that there were no longer any rules. Creativity alone mattered and had to prevail over any form of academicism. Thus, Englebert Van Anderlecht turned toward abstraction at the end of the 1940s and definitively embraced it by the mid-1950s. His palette grew stronger, his tones deeper, and he adhered to a form of abstract expressionism. This style of painting reflected a worldwide desire for rupture and emancipation. In the United States, the tone was set by Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline, from gestural to abstract expressionism. In France, a new generation emerged with Nicolas de Staël, Pierre Soulages, Simon Hantaï, and Judith Reigl. Belgium was no exception, with Antoine Mortier and Englebert Van Anderlecht, the latter being the most committed to the path of free or abstract expressionism. “I believe it is essential that there be men who do not accept established rules, who do not believe that truth is forever what a few moral leaders have decided it to be, who see that life is not merely the sum of all discoveries made so far. In this, I see a promise of freedom. We believe that everything remains to be done, that our earth is young, that we are not old men sunk into routine, and that the marvelous still awaits us tomorrow.” - Text by Englebert Van Anderlecht, 1960 Within this context, the large and striking canvas, Rome I, belongs to the period of maturity and recognition of this artist, who died prematurely in 1961 at the age of 43. The brush or paintbrush seems to whirl across the canvas like a ballet. The tones are deep, intense, applied with palpable strength and energy, while the final result bursts forth across the space. The work then takes on its full dimension, filling the surface with unmatched power - one of the finest works by this essential figure of Belgian painting.

Pair of oil lamps Ormoulu and patinated bronze Embossed gilt bronze and patinated bronze, representing the allegory of Philosophy and Study, each seated on an antique oil lamp, with an edge in gadroon motif, on a square footed base France, Consulat period, circa 1800 H 31 x W 36 cm Based on a model by Louis-Simon Boizot Comparative literature: H. Ottomeyer et P. Pröschel et al., Vergoldete Bronzen, Munich, 1986, vol. I, p. 294, fig. 4.17.1. I, p. 294, fig. 4.17.1. This pair of oil lamps is clearly designed in a neoclassical style, and, more specifically, in the 'Etruscan' style which came into vogue in the 1780s. This style draws its inspiration from antique forms rediscovered in archaeological digs, in particular those at Pompeii and Herculaneum, and manifested in the decorative arts by simple lines and ornamentation inspired by Antiquity. The allegorical figures of Philosophy and Study, which decorate these lamps, are taken from models created by Louis-Simon Boizot (1743-1809), then sculptor for the King. Boizot designed them for the first time in 1780 for a lamp in the antique style. He sold the model to the Sèvres factory, which then reproduced it in biscuit porcelain until 1786. These two figures were also used in the famous clock model, 'To Study and to Philosophy', created based on a drawing by François Rémond for the decorative arts merchant Dominique Daguerre. It is important to note that Pierre-Philippe Thomire (1751–1843), a reputed bronze worker, collaborated with Boizot in Sèvres beginning in 1783, the date when he succeeded Jean-Claude Thomas Duplessis (1730-1783) as the official bronze worker for the factory. The involvement of Thomire in the production of bronzes of this type is widely acknowledged. Comparable oil lamps include: - a pair kept at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles (inv. 88.SB.113.1 et 88.SB.113.2), attributed to Thomire; - another from the former collection of Sir Robert Abdy, sold at Christie's London on June 9th, 1994, lot 65,; - a pair offered for sale at Christie's London on December 13th, 2001, lot 430. - finally, a pair presented in the Madame Simone Steinitz collection at Christie's in Paris on June 19th, 2025, Paris lot 126. A drawing attributed to Thomire, kept at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris, depicts a very similar lamp placed to the right of a fireplace (cf. J. Bourne et V. Brett, L’art du luminaire, Paris, 1992, p. 156, fig. 530). In addition, two sketches found in an album of drawings analysed by P. Rosenberg and B. Peronnet (Revue de l’Art, n° 142, 2003-2004) bear witness to the distribution and success of these models. They perfectly illustrate the taste for Antiquity, which dominated French decorative arts in the late eighteenth century.

Yup'ik shaman mask Coastal Yup’ik - Eskimo, St Michael or Yukon river Delta, Alaska, 19th century Carved wood, pigments H 19.5 cm Provenance: Karin & Leo (1937-1987) Van Oosterom collection, The Hague, acquired in 1980 Yup’ik shamanic masks (from the Indigenous culture of the Arctic region of Alaska) bear witness to a spirituality and artistic power of remarkable depth. Exceptionally rare today - as most were destroyed or discarded after their ceremonial use - these works are imbued with mystery and poetry. Their evocative force and symbolism of metamorphosis deeply inspired Surrealist masters such as Max Ernst and Leonora Carrington, who discovered in them a new visual language of the unconscious. This striking mask represents a tunghak spirit - a powerful celestial being linked to the moon, the sun, and the balance between humans and nature.
