2 ÉDOUARD VUILLARD (french, 1868–1940) “NU BLOND DANS UN FAUTEUIL CRAPAUD” Stamped bottom right with initials ‘E.V.’ (Lugt, 909c), pastel on beige laid paper laid down to board. Executed circa 1912. sheet: 17 1/4 x 12 in. (43.8 x 30.5cm) board: 20 5/8 x 15 1/16 in.

É

douard Vuillard was a French Post-Impressionist painter who – along with Pierre Bonnard and Maurice Denis – was an influential member of the Nabis, a group of avant-garde painters working in Paris in the late 19th century. He is perhaps best known for his paintings of interior scenes, most often depicting women in domestic settings. Indeed, the prevalence of these scenes within his oeuvre has led many to label Vuillard as an “intimist.” The present work, which dates from 1912, is an example of such intimate scenes. Portraying a nude woman lounging languidly in an ornamented armchair, this pastel is rendered in subdued tones and suggests a quiet moment of rest happened upon by both artist and viewer.

A

contemporary of Picasso, Matisse, Léger and Lipchitz in pre-war Paris, artist, writer and theorist Amédée Ozenfant is perhaps best known as a founding father of the Purist art movement, which he created along with Swiss architect Charles-Edouard Jeanneret (“Le Corbusier”). The two artists first met in the French capital in 1917 and together developed the doctrines of Purism, which they articulated in their 1918 treatise Après le Cubisme and continued in the periodical L’Esprit Nouveau between the years 1920-1925. Perhaps in response to the chaotic social and political climate following WWI, the painter and the architect rejected the unstructured spontaneity and ornamental style of the dominant Cubist movement. Instead, they sought a purer art form, one that was rooted in the industry and technology of the current age, yet universal and timeless such that it could transcend its era. Governed by the laws of science, this “modern classicism” approached the construction of pure beauty through mathematical order and logic, rigor and coherence. Inspired by the techniques of industrial design, they called for carefully balanced compositions of controlled geometric forms and flat, juxtaposed planes of simple colors. As products of the machine age, the ideal subjects of their paintings were common utilitarian items such as glasses, bottles and instruments, which Ozenfant and Le Corbusier believed to be the perfect “object prototypes” due to their timeless and permanent nature. Composed of such timeless objects and other precisely rendered geometric forms, the present work perfectly encapsulates this Purist ethos. With its harmonious and rational arrangement, “Nature Morte – Le Pichet Blanc” is a static expression of stability, a poetic celebration of an industrial civilization.

The present drawing is a working study for one of the famous true fresco murals at Escuela Nacional de Agricultura in Chapingo, Mexico (today known as the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Chapingo). Between 1923 and 1928, Rivera began the ambitious project that covered over 700 square meters of the walls and ceilings of the school’s entrance hall, staircase, administration offices and Assembly Hall in the Ex Chapel. Rivera’s two main subjects were “Song to the Earth and Those Who Work the Land” and “And to Those who Struggle to Make it a Place Conducive to Life and Freedom of the Human Genre”. These murals reflected the school’s creed, “To teach the exploitation of the Land, not the exploitation of Men. The final version of the present work, “Silent Guardian of the Truth,” is one of several male figures shown in the ceiling vault surrounding the central scene, “Revelation of the Road to Follow.” The figures are depicted in architectural ‘squinch‘ areas that support and surround the domed ceiling above the recumbent image of Mother Nature in “The Liberated Earth with The Powers of Nature Controlled by Man.” He is one of the two main Guardians, who with a vigilant attitude and machete in hand, will defend the goals of the Mexican Revolution that will bring social change to the country and its people. Working drawings for murals for the Chapingo series come rarely to auction, and Freeman’s is delighted to present this work on behalf of a private family collection where it was enjoyed for over 40 years. $8,000-12,000

B

est known for his poetic depictions of domestic scenes, elegant women and lusciously painted flora, Le Pho shares with his viewers glimpses from his memories of his upbringing in Hanoi in the early 1900s. These works present a romanticized view of Vietnamese life yet unmarred by the local infighting and political violence soon to come. The son of the Viceroy of Tonkin in Vietnam, Le Pho was raised in a privileged and cultured environment. He studied painting at the Fine Arts College of Indochina under the close instruction of the founder of the school, Victor Tardieu, one of the only French nationals at the time who encouraged the exploration of the Vietnamese cultural identity in the artwork of his students. A student of Matisse’s in Paris, Tardieu imparted to Le Pho the fundamentals of European painting traditions and techniques. These traditions formed the basis of Le Pho’s now distinct style of painting, in which he merged a unique ideology with these European influences. With their distinctive elegance, rich colors, and delicately ethereal ambiance, the present paintings are exceptional examples of the artist’s oeuvre and depict the subjects most pleasing to artist- impressionistically rendered flowers and figures that hearken back to his childhood.

I

n 1955, a young Andy Warhol was on the cusp of an explosively successful artistic career. He actively cultivated high profile social connections and made art, even while continuing to work full time in graphic design. Indeed, that year he began an exclusive two-year print advertising design campaign for I. Miller & Sons Shoes, creating drawings of expensive women’s footwear that would appear in fashion magazines, The New York Times and Herald Tribune society pages each week. The ads were wildly successful for both the store and the artist. As a result, Warhol was given increasing leeway in his imagery, with one ad featuring rows of embellished heels (hinting at later recurrent themes of repetition) and another featuring only a pear tree to invoke associations with a new pear–colored spring shoe. Around the same time, Warhol self-published a series of portfolios, prints and books which were often lettered by his mother, and hand-colored by himself or friends, and given away as gifts or self-promotion. One of these, “À la Recherche du Shoe Perdu” included delicate and colorful shoes with witty titles and allusions to the rich and famous. A year or two later, a young aspiring pianist named Betty Lou Saxton made her way from a small town in Ohio to Manhattan to study classical piano at Julliard and academics at Columbia. She shared an apartment with five other young women and was quickly enveloped into a lively and diverse artistic social community. Betty Lou’s mother had every intention that her daughter would become a talented pianist, but once Betty Lou arrived in New York, her interest in music waned as her love of the city and its lifestyle bloomed. Betty Lou, a present day resident of suburban Philadelphia, happily declares of her jettisoned musical career, “It was worth it – it got me to New York!” Betty Lou quickly found herself immersed in a ready-made social world comprised of fellow musicians, artists and illustrators. Betty Lou was thusly introduced to Andy Warhol who by then had concluded the I. Miller print campaign and was designing the shop windows for the high end department store, Bonwit Teller. Through this friendship, Betty Lou came to know Warhol’s mother, Julia Warhola, and remembers regularly visiting their residence at 34th Street and Lexington Avenue. As Betty Lou recalls, Andy Warhol in those years made a daily circuit from his home to Bonwit Teller and finally to the public library, where he would spend hours perusing their picture and print archives for inspiration. Indeed, as art historians have noted, Warhol was insatiable in his quest for inspiration, which he drew from art history, design, friends and of course, popular culture. In these years, Warhol’s nickname for Betty Lou was “Marigold” as “he thought I should marry gold” Betty Lou warmly recalls now. Julia Warhola, Betty remembers, was a petite older woman who always wore a babushka and lived in the top floor of the brownstone with her many cats. Betty Lou and Julia struck up their own friendship, and one day Julia presented Betty Lou with an ink drawing entitled, “Purr, Purr, Purr….” Betty Lou asked Julia to sign the drawing, and the artist complied, penning ‘Andy Warhol’s Mother.’ “Even then, based on the company he was keeping, she had some sense of who he would become,” Betty Lou explains. In 1989, Grey Gallery borrowed this work for the exhibition, “Success is a Job in New York” which toured to the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; Serpentine Gallery, London and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia. For four or five years, Betty Lou’s social orbit included Andy Warhol, John Ardoin, the composer-turned-editor and photographer for ‘Musical America,’ Theodate Johnson, owner and publisher of the magazine and sister of renowned architect Philip Johnson, and many others. Betty Lou became romantically involved with Ivan Davis, a classical pianist who went on to study in Italy on a Fulbright, and later toured with the New York Philharmonic and many other illustrious orchestras. Betty Lou maintained her friendship with Julia Warhola during these years, and knowing of their close relationship, Warhol gave a copy of his mother’s book, “Holy Cats by Andy Warhol’s Mother” dedicated to both “Betty Lou Pie and Ivan Pie.” Because of their friendship with Theodate Johnson, in 1960, the two were married at Philip Johnson’s Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut. This network of artists and musicians were fixtures at the now famous Serendipity 3, where Warhol’s parties and openings were often photographed by John Ardoin. Betty Lou also recalls Andy entertaining at Café Nicholson, a southern-style restaurant also frequented in those years by Harper Lee, Tennessee Williams and Truman Capote. Davis attended Warhol’s dinner and coloring parties where the artist’s offset lithographic books were hand-colored by friends and given as gifts. Offered for sale in Betty Lou’s collection are three group-lots of such prints from the “Shoe” book, a group of recipes from “Wild Raspberries” and a complete and bound copy of the hand-colored book “25 Cats Name[d] Sam.” Additionally, two ink and watercolor drawings of cats are offered, along with the aforementioned drawing and book by Julia Warhola. These books, prints and drawings have served as intimate reminders of happy memories for their original owner for over sixty years, and speak to a pivotal moment that foreshadowed the artist’s style, themes and fame that ensued for decades thereafter.

O

ver the course of his long and prolific career, Jim Dine has developed a signature visual iconography through his repeated exploration of particular forms and motifs. He has returned time and again to favored subjects such as hearts, bathrobes, and the Venus de Milo, making them new again in each interpretation. The subject of the Venus de Milo has been particularly fruitful for the artist. He first began sculpting his own interpretations of the famous statue in 1982, inspired by a small store-bought plaster replica of the ancient work. Reflecting upon this ancient muse in a 2012 catalogue for an exhibition at the Nassau County Museum of Art, the artist noted, “I have this need to connect with the past in my way, and also I’m devoted to the ideal of woman, as a figure of enchantment...When I went to the art supply store…and got a Venus de Milo figure…I was not responding to it as an object of Pop Art, or popular culture. I saw it is a timeless classical figure which held the memory of its magnificence…But then I knocked the head off of it and made it mine.” The present work, like all Dine’s Venuses, is missing its head, thereby minimizing its attachment to any one person and allowing for broad and subjective interpretation. This lack of specificity also permits the artist to revisit the motif, all the while imbuing it with distinct stylistic features in each new iteration. “Trembling for Color” is an exciting and dynamic example of Dine’s vision of this ancient goddess and exhibits many of the hallmarks of the artist’s oeuvre. The surface of the figure’s body shows the mark of the artist’s hand and displays a tactile physicality often seen in Dine’s work of all media, but particularly effective in sculptural form. Also typical of Dine’s work, the present sculpture is boldly and energetically colored. These features, along with its impressive scale, make “Trembling for Color” a captivating and keenly exciting example of the Venus subject so important within the artist’s body of work.

It is the buyer’s responsibility to inspect all lots prior to bidding to ensure that the condition is to their satisfaction.

These are for guidance only, and all lots will be sold “as is” as per our Terms and Conditions of Sale. Bidding At the sale Registered bidders will be assigned a bidder number and given a paddle for use at the sale. Once the first bid has been placed, the auctioneer asks for higher bids in increments determined by the auctioneer. To place your bid, simply raise your paddle until the auctioneer acknowledges you. The auctioneer will not mistake a random gesture for a bid. By phone A limited number of telephone lines are available for bidding by phone through a Freeman’s representative. Phone lines must be reserved in advance. Requests must be submitted no later than 24 hours prior to the scheduled start of the sale. In writing Bid forms are available in the sale room and at the back of the catalogue. These should be submitted in person, by mail or by fax no later than one hour prior to the scheduled start of the sale. The auctioneer will bid on your behalf up to the limit.

Shipping and Packing Responsibility for packing, shipping and insurance shall be exclusively that of the purchaser. Upon request, Freeman’s will provide the purchaser with names of professional packers and shippers known to us. Endangered Species Lots marked * are manufactured in whole or in part of restricted materials that may include tortoiseshell, ivory, mother-of-pearl, coral, rhinoceros horn, whalebone or marine ivory. Such materials may require specific licenses, certificates, or CITES documentation for import, export, moving between states in the U.S., or resale. Obtaining these documents may require scientific, laboratory or other expert analysis, in order to establish which species or genus the material came from. Freeman’s is unable to provide this information, and the obligation is on the purchaser of a lot containing any of these materials to ensure that they are able to obtain all the necessary or required documents should they need to, prior to bidding on the lot. If proper documentation or licenses etc. cannot be obtained for a purchased lot, the purchaser will still be required to make an on time payment for the lot as per our standard terms and conditions. Freeman’s cataloguing of the lots marked with this symbol * represents the best of our opinion, and the absence of this symbol from any lot description does not form a warranty that the lot will be free from any licensing or certification restrictions.

By bidding at the auction, whether present in person or by agent, by written bid, telephone, internet or other means, the buyer agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions.

1 Unless otherwise indicated, all Property will be offered by Freeman’s as agent for the Consignor. 2 Freeman’s reserves the right to vary the terms of sale and any such variance shall become part of these Conditions of Sale. 3 Buyer acknowledges that it had the right to make a full inspection of all Property prior to sale to determine the condition, size, repair or restoration of any Property. Therefore, all property is sold “ASIS”. Freeman’s is acting solely as an auction broker, and unless otherwise stated, does not own the Property offered for sale and has made no independent investigation of the Property. Freeman’s makes no warranty of title, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, or any other warranty or representation regarding the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition to the Property of any kind or nature with respect to the Property. 4 Freeman’s in its sole and exclusive discretion, reserves the right to withdraw any property, at any time, before the fall of the hammer. 5 Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the printed catalogue. Freeman’s reserves the right to determine any and all matters regarding the order, precedence or appropriate increment of bids or the constitution of lots. 6 The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid, to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion and in the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re- offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after sale, the Freeman’s sale record shall be conclusive in all respects. 7 If the auctioneer determines that any opening or later bid or any advance bid is not commensurate with the value of the Property offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the Property from sale.

8 Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any offered lot or article will immediately pass to the highest bidder as determined in the exclusive discretion of the auctioneer, subject to compliance by the buyer with these Conditions of Sale. Buyer thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility of the property sold, agrees to sign any requested confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full price, plus Buyer’s Premium, therefore or such part, upon such terms as Freeman’s may require. 9 No lot may be removed from Freeman’s premises until the buyer has paid in full the purchase price therefor including Buyer’s Premium or has satisfied such terms that Freeman’s, in its sole discretion, shall require. Subject to the foregoing, all Property shall be paid for and removed by the buyer at his/her expense within ten (10) days of sale and, if not so removed, may be sold by Freeman’s, or sent by Freeman’s to a public warehouse, at the sole risk and charge of the buyer(s), and Freeman’s may prohibit the buyer from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or buyer in any future sale or sales. In addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s by law, Freeman’s reserves the right to impose a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price on any balance remaining ten (10) days after the day of sale. If Property is not removed by the buyer within ten (10) days, a handling charge of 1% of the total purchase price per month from the tenth day after the sale until removal by the buyer shall be payable to Freeman’s by the buyer; Freeman’s shall charge 1.5% of the total purchase price per month for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale. Freeman’s will not be responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or otherwise responsible for any goods left in Freeman’s possession after ten (10) days. If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of law are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the buyer(s) liable for the bid price) Freeman’s, at its option, may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the buyer(s), or resell the property. In such event, the buyer(s) shall remain liable for any deficiency

in the original purchase price and will also be responsible for all costs, including warehousing, the expense of the ultimate sale, and Freeman’s commission at its regular rates together with all related and incidental charges, including legal fees. Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by Freeman’s. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. Any exceptions must be made upon Freeman’s written approval of credit prior to sale. In addition, a defaulting buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Freeman’s, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of, or owing to such buyer in Freeman’s possession, and Freeman’s may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to Freeman’s. Freeman’s shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code. 10 Unless the sale is advertised and announced as “without reserve”, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Freeman’s may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignors. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where Freeman’s or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to Freeman’s, Freeman’s may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds therefrom, other than the broker’s Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest. 11 No “buy” bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. 12 Any pre-sale bids must be submitted in writing to Freeman’s prior to commencement of the offer of the first lot of any sale. Freeman’s copy of any such bid shall conclusively be deemed to be the sole evidence of same, and while Freeman’s accepts these bids for the convenience of bidders not present at the auction, Freeman’s shall not be responsible for the failure to execute, or, to execute properly, any pre-sale bid.

13 A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price. The Buyer’s Premium shall be: 25% on the first $200,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $200,001 through $3,000,000, and 12% thereafter. 14 Unless exempted by law from the payment thereof, the buyer will be required to pay any and all federal excise tax and any state and/or local sales taxes, including where deliveries are to be made outside the state where a sale is conducted, which may be subject to a corresponding or compensating tax in another state. 15 Freeman’s may, as a service to buyer, arrange to have purchased property posted and shipped at the buyer’s expense. Freeman’s is not responsible for any acts or omissions in packing or shipping of purchased lots whether or not such carrier is recommended by Freeman’s. Packing and handling of purchased lots is at the responsibility of the buyer and is at the entire risk of the buyer. 16 In no event shall any liability of Freeman’s to the buyer exceed the purchase price actually paid. 17 No claimed modification or amendment of this Agreement on the part of any party shall be deemed extant, enforceable or provable unless it is in writing that has been signed by the parties to this Agreement. No course of dealing and no delay or omission on the part of Freeman’s in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right and waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy of Freeman’s on any future occasion. 18 These Conditions of Sale and the buyer’s, the Consignor’s and Freeman’s rights under these Conditions of Sale shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Consignor and Buyer agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
