Christo Javacheff (Gabrovo, Bulgaria, 1935 - New York, 2020)"The Mastaba of Abu Dhabi."Mixed media, drawing, collage, pencil, photography and oil on cardboard under plexiglass frame by the artist. Signed in pencil and dated 1979.80 x 59,5 cm.Christo Vladimirov Javacheff, better known by his first name Christo, was a plastic artist famous for his large-scale artistic projects and international repercussion.After his name, in biographies, headlines of cultural magazines and newspapers, a verb appears conjugated: 'to wrap'; this is the term that summarizes his extensive, fruitful, complex and, at times, polemic career. To put this verb into practice, it is essential to consider another name: Jeanne-Claude; the artistic and vital companion of the Bulgarian creator. The three of them, Christo, Jeanne-Claude and 'wrap', amazingly converged in an original artistic practice characterized by its monumentality, by a great personality and by leaving no one indifferent. With it, they managed to transcend "the traditional limits of painting, sculpture and architecture", as we read on their official website "Christo and Jeanne-Claude".Among their main works, we highlight "Wrapped Coast" (1968-1969), where they wrapped 2. 4 km of Australian coastline near Sydney; "The Pont Neuf Wrapped" (1975-1985), where they covered the oldest bridge in Paris with fabric; "The Umbrellas" (1984-1991), the installation of blue and yellow umbrellas in valleys in Ibaraki (Japan) and California, respectively; "Wrapped Reichstag" (1971-1995), the cladding of the German parliament; and "L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped" (1961-2021), for the moment, the only project of the couple completed by their team, after the death of both (Jeanne-Claude in 2009 and Christo in 2020).Our piece, completed in 1979, is part of "The Mastaba, Project for United Arab Emirates", the project to erect the Mastaba of Abu Dhabi. It is a work of special interest and of the utmost topicality for several reasons. Firstly, this project, which the artist couple undertook in 1977 without completing it during their lifetime, is officially their last project and the only one that is still being carried out by their team, led by Christo's nephew, Vladimir Yavachev. Secondly, it was precisely in 1979, the year of our work, when they visited the United Arab Emirates for the first time and when they decided on the colors and the placement of the steel barrels. Finally, "La Mastaba" will be the only permanent large-scale public artwork. As Christo and Jeanne-Claude state on their website, the Abu Dhabi Mastaba "will be the largest contemporary sculpture (in volume) in the world, made with 410,000 multicolored barrels to form a colorful mosaic, echoing Islamic architecture". For more information, complemented by evocative photographs that take us through the entire process, we highly recommend consulting the artists' official website https://christojeanneclaude.net/artworks/the-mastaba/

Lot 88

Eliot (T.S., poet, 1888-1965), W. H. Auden, Ted Hughes, Philip Larkin, Robert Lowell, Seamus Heaney, & others. A Personal Anthology for Eric Walter White, 2 vol., 58 autograph poems by many of the leading poets of the time, choosing their favourite poem from their own works, ten with accompanying Typed or Autograph Letters signed from the poets, many signed or with signed presentation inscriptions to Eric or Eric and his wife Dodo, with 2 typed poems loosely inserted into vol.2, c.80pp. excluding blanks, on recto and verso, thick cream wove paper, autograph title, list of contents (loosely inserted), and occasional pencil note by White, vol.1 half maroon morocco over cloth, vol.2 full cloth, one or two marks, overall bright and attractive, 4to, 1962-75.*** An outstanding and unique piece of literary compilation, amassing a collection of the poets’ favourite works from their own oeuvre, sometimes with further gleams from accompanying letters.This extraordinary album amicorum poeticorum, so titled ‘The Personal Anthology of Eric Walter White’ was created over a period of thirteen years for Eric Walter White, CBE (1905- 1985), who was the first Literature Director of the Arts Council, music critic and writer, and poet. The work contains 60 poems by many of the leading poets of the time, some with accompanying letters. From his remarkable literary connections, it appears that White sent the contributors the book and invited them to write by hand their favourite poem from their own body of work. Many choose some of their more obscure poems, and some were even composed impromptu for White. Others, such as Ted Hughes, chose 'Full Moon and Little Frieda', a well known poem about his daughter, while Heaney intriguingly chose 'Personal Helicon', an autobiographical poem from his first collection Death of a Naturalist. The first volume contains the majority, including 58 autograph poems by T.S. Eliot (‘Usk’), W.H. Auden (the amusing 64-line ‘The Circuit’, on a whistle-stop reading tour of American universities, here written out before publication in the New Yorker, two months later), Stephen Spender, C. Day Lewis (an apparently unpublished poem, not in Complete Poems (1992), Philip Larkin (‘Modestie’, with an arch signed letter) , Charles Causley (‘At the British War Cemetery, Bayeux’), Ted Hughes, Seamus Heaney, Robert Lowell (the masterful ‘Inauguration Day: January 1953’), Richard Wilbur, Kathleen Raine, R.S. Thomas, Dannie Abse, John Lehmann, Edmund Blunden, John Betjeman, etc.Other poets who inscribed a work in the principal album include John Hollander, Richard Murphy, Michael Schmidt (‘Underwater’ ), Roy Fuller (‘Sister Anne’), Alan Brownjohn, two by James Kirkup, William Plomer (‘Before the Crash’), Vernon Watkins (‘Old Triton Time’), George MacBeth (‘Owl’, with a drawing of an owl), Dom Moraes, Tom Driberg, John Lehmann, Hugo Williams, Edward Lucie-Smith and Wole Soyinka. Poetical albums of this nature and quality are rarely available in commerce.

Mick Cawston Original Charcoal Drawing 'The Bodhram Player' is a nice charcoal drawing from life. This one comes from a trip to Ireland in around 2000. We have seen a number of life drawings and oil sketches from this trip, mostly of musicians, but occasionally of dancers too. It was clearly a very fulfilling trip for him at the time! The frame and mount have seen better days, however we have no reason to think that the charcoal itself is damaged. This one was drawn in Gallway according to the pencil inscription on the border. Framed as shown under glass, sold as seen. Drawing size: 10.5"x 7.5" (27 x 19cms) Overall size including frame: 19"x 15" (48 x 38cms).
