KEPLER, JOHANNES. 1571-1630. :Dissertatio cum Nuncio Sidereo nuper ad mortales misso a Galilaeo Galilaeo. Frankfurt: Zacharias Palthenius, 1611.
8vo (162 x 90 mm). Woodcut device on title page. Modern blue morocco, ruled in gilt. Even toning, minor staining and some ink underlining.

Third, pirated edition of the Dissertatio cum Nuncio Sidereo, following the 1610 Prague and Florence editions. The work is an open letter to Galileo, responding enthusiastically to Galileo\'s telescopic observations published in Sidereus Nuncius in March of 1610. Galileo sent a copy to Kepler in April 1610, and Kepler felt it was necessary to publish a response in order to disseminate the knowledge of Galileo\'s discovery and its importance to the widest possible audience. He was also more than a little relieved that Galileo\'s conclusions did not undermine his own theories. The publisher of this edition, Zacharias Palthenius of Frankfurt, had also published a pirated edition of Galileo\'s Sidereus Nuncius in 1610. Caspar 34; Zinner 4277 (both for first edition).

He remained well-respected in science and the clergy, despite his sometimes controversial writings.

Cy Twombly * - Zeitgenössische Kunst I-

(Lexington, Virginia 1928–2011 Rome)
Untitled, 1963/1964, signed Cy Twombly, colored pencil, wax crayon on paper, 86 x 67 cm, framed

Provenance:
Galleria La Tartaruga, Rome
Galerie Karsten Greve, Cologne
Private Collection, 德国y
Kunsthaus Lempertz, 3 December 2016, lot 450 - acquired there by the present owner

Literature:
Nicola Del Roscio, Cy Twombly, drawings, catalogue raisonné, Gagosian Gallery, New York (Ed.), Munich 2011, vol. 4, no. 20

Cy Twombly occupies a unique position among US artists. Twombly lived and worked in Italy, far from the 美国 art world, and felt free to experiment. In Rome, Twombly refined his distinctive artistic language. Twombly\'s visual language is informed by classical literature, ancient history, poetry and mythology, as well as his own life experience. Since the 1950s, Twombly\'s drawings have been dominated by rhythmically repeated line progressions, swirls, dense tangles and isolated numbers. Pencil, coloured pens and ballpoint pens enabled Twombly to make this \'scriptural\' drawing, which ultimately includes the signature of the artist himself. On the white of the paper, the pictorial elements provoke by appearing as scribbles, appearing as if randomly distributed on the surface.

The untitled work offered here is a vivid example of Twombly\'s unique pictorial language. The pictorial elements merge into an abstract composition that is both delicate and dynamic. The work was created in Italy between 1963-64. Twombly lived in a 17th-century palazzo on Via di Monserrato in Rome at the time the work was created. Untitled is emblematic of the groundbreaking work Twombly produced in the 1960s, widely regarded as a critical and highly fruitful period in his long and illustrious career.

“Paint is something that I use with my hands and do all those tactile things. I really don’t like oil because you can’t get back into it, or you make a mess. It’s not my favourite thing... pencil is more my medium than wet paint.”
Cy Twombly

BENOIS, ALEXANDRE. 1870-1960.:Costume design of Monsieur Jourdain, for the Balanchine ballet of Molière\'s Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, produced by the Ballets Russes de Monte-Carlo, 1932, watercolor, ink and graphite, 308 x 193 mm (12 1/8 x 7 1/2 inches), signed by Benois in pencil in lower left corner.

Benois founded the Mir iskusstva [World of Art] group with Sergei Diaghilev and was one of the most important designers of the Ballets Russes, second only to Léon Bakst. His best known sets and costumes were done for the original production of the Stravinsky ballet Petrouchka (1911) based on his idea. Benois emigrated to France in 1927 and continued to work for the theater in Paris, Milan, London, New York and elsewhere. Both Benois and Balanchine were associated with the Ballets Russes de Monte-Carlo, the successor to the original Ballets Russes, that formed after Diaghilev\'s death in 1932. Balanchine revived his ballet in 1979 for the New York City Opera with the assistance of Jerome Robbins and Peter Martins and Rudolph Nureyev in his first Balanchine production. Sold with 3 additional costume designs, two from an unknown artist, and one in pencil attributed to Georgii Yakulov.
