Jean-Michel Folon * - Zeitgenössische Kunst I-

(Brussels 1934–2005 Monaco)
La pêche miraculeuse (Buste aux poissons) / The Miraculous Catch (Bust with Fish), 2005, bronze, signed and numbered HC 2/2 (from an edition of 2 + 2 EA + 2 HC) with the foundry mark: Romain Fils, h 81 cm w 43 cm.

This work will be included in the artist’s forthcoming catalogue raisonné currently being prepared by the Fondation Folon.

This work is registered at the Fondation Folon with the number F400 and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Provenance:
European Private Collection

The 比利时 artist Jean-Michel Folon (1934-2005) has left a universal mark on the collective imagination of the last third of the 20th century through his posters, illustrations, television animations, and his numerous exhibitions. A humanist, he left behind a figurative and poetic body of work rooted in traditional techniques, which was atypical for an environment dominated by conceptual art. Folon turned to sculpture in the early 1990s, having initially focused on paper-based techniques (inks, silk-screen printing, watercolour), thus providing him with a new challenge.
His sculptures are inspired by ethnographic art and characterised by their frontality and corporality, from the Cyclades to the Etruscans, from African masks to Amerindian totems. They are largely centred on the human being and embody themes that were once treated graphically and thus project the artist\'s universe into atypical and natural environments: landscapes, gardens, parks, interiors.

La pêche miraculeuse (Buste aux poissons) [The Miraculous Catch (Bust with Fish)] from 2005 presents the artist’s favoured Everyman, the character with the hat, onto whom everyone can project themselves. He is holding an armful of fish. This bust sculpture is a variation on a theme that Folon had explored with a few years earlier in his Fontaine aux poissons [Fountain with Fish], which has been shown to the public on numerous occasions at major exhibitions, notably in Florence in 2005. The quality of the patina of this remarkable Catch is typical of Folon\'s quasi-pictorial quest for sculpture. It drew this comment from the sculptor.

“You make impressionist sculptures, these are the patinas of a painter and each of your sculptures will be unique because you will never be able to do the same thing twice.”

MUNDINUS (DI LUZZI, MONDINO). 1275–1326.:MELLERSTADT, MARTINUS, editor. c.1455-1513. Anathomia Mundini emendata per doctorem melerstat. [Leipzig: Martin Landsberg, 1493.]
4to (200 x 140 mm). 40 leaves, 34 lines, title with full-page woodcut of an anatomical scene. Modern calf antique. Inner margin of title neatly reinforced, tiny repair to blank outer margin of last leaf, illegible old library stamp to lower margin of title page, scattered light browning, mostly marginal.

FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF THE FIRST DEDICATED ANATOMY BOOK. \"The first modern book devoted solely to anatomy ... Mundinus re-introduced human dissection, which had been neglected for 1500 years before him; he was the most noted dissector of his period, and he set forth the medieval anatomical vocabulary, deriving it mainly from Arabic\" (Garrison). Mondino de\' Luzzi, professor at Bologna, is considered to be the founder of anatomy in the Middle Ages. His treatise remained popular until the beginning of the 16th-century and appeared in multiple editions.

\"The subject of anatomy was not taught either by lectures or by dissection in the universities at the middle of the fifteenth century. An occasional \'anatomy\' was held, but the neglect of the subject is well illustrated by the absence of anatomical books. There is only one in the list, that of Mundinus . . . Mundinus was a professor at Bologna from 1306 to 1326, and was the first to teach anatomy from the subject, usually the corpse of a condemned criminal; but there is the record of a procedure in 1319 against four medical students for body-snatching. His Anatomia, written in 1316, was for two hundred years the popular text book\" (Osler).

In the introduction of the book, Mundinus says, \"proposui meis scholaribus in medicina quoddam opus componere, \'I have proposed to compose a work in medicine for my scholars.\" The work \"met a need universally felt just at that time and commended itself for its brevity, conciseness, and completeness, as well as for the fact that it taught for each separate organ the necessary anatomic technique, as. for example, in the first chapter: \'Situato itaque corpore vel homine mortuo per decollationem vel suspensionem supino\', etc., \'accordingly, laying out the body of a man dead by decapitation or hanging, etc....\" (Choulant).

RARE PATENT OF NOBILITY OF \"CHARLES III\" DURING HIS EMBATTLED CLAIM TO THE SPANISH THRONE. On the death of his Hapsburg relative King Charles II of Spain (1661-1700) without a direct heir, Archduke Charles of Austria declared himself the King of Spain, thus occasioning the War of the Spanish Succession, which pitted him against a rival candidate, Philip, Duke of Anjou, grandson of Louis XIV, and a distant cousin of the Archduke. In 1711, when his brother, the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph I, died the Archduke returned to Vienna to assume the imperial crown, while Philip was eventually recognized as King Philip V of Spain. During his brief time as claimant to the Spanish throne, Charles never extended his sphere of influence beyond Catalonia and lived there only from 1705 to 1711.

THE KING JAMES\' GREAT \"SHE\' BIBLE, THE SECOND FOLIO EDITION, with the reading in Ruth 3:15 corrected to \"She went into the citie,\" and with other errors including Matthew 26:36 where Judas appears for Jesus, but in this copy that error has been a corrected in an 18th century manuscript hand.

The King James Great Bible is considered to be the most important English Bible to have been printed. The biblical scholar Francis Fry described the \"SHE\" Bible as the first edition second issue without reprints, printed within two years of the first issue to correct typographical errors that were found in the text. The King James Bible was drawn up to reconcile the versions of the bible used by the Clergy, on the one hand, and the laity on the other. The translators, who numbered around 50, were divided into committees based in Oxford. Cambridge and London, and they were instructed to take the Bishops Bible as their basis and then consult with Tyndale\'s, Coverdale\'s, Matthew\'s, Whitchurch\'s and the Geneva versions to come up with an authorized text. This copy, although with facsimile first and last leaves, and two quires lacking, is substantially complete. \"From about the middle of the seventeenth century until the appearance of the Revised Bible of 1881-5, the King James\' version reigned without rival\"(Herbert 319). cf.

KEPLER, JOHANNES. 1571-1630. :Tabulae Rudolphinae, quibus astronomicae scientiae, temporum longinquitate collapsae restauratio continentur. Ulm: Jonas Saur, 1627.
Folio (330 x 226 mm). Roman and italic types, double column, printed shoulder notes. Engraved allegorical frontispiece designed by Kepler, depicting Hipparchus, Ptolemy, Copernicus, Brahe, and Kepler gathered in the Temple of Urania, numerous woodcut diagrams in text, including a full-page of diagrams on k3v, woodcut initials, large woodcut device on part 2 section title. With the 4-leaves \"Sportula genethliacis missa\" (q4) printed in Sagan and dated 1629, inserted after the tabulae. Early 18th-century half-sheep and mottled boards, spine gilt in 7 compartments with red and green morocco lettering piece, red speckled edges, a few gatherings (including \"Sportula\", sig. q, issued in 1629) browned (as often). Provenance: Co. Riccati (Jacopo Francesco Riccati (1676-1754, Venetian mathematician; bookplate on title verso).

FIRST EDITION OF KEPLER\'S LAST LIFETIME PUBLICATION AND HIS CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT, THE \"FOUNDATION OF ALL PLANETARY CALCULATIONS FOR OVER A CENTURY\" (Sparrow). Third state, with second quire [):():(⁴] on different paper, albeit trimmed here to the same size as the adjacent leaves. \"The tables are extraordinarily important, for they document in a unique way Kepler\'s great contributions to astronomy\" (Gingerich). \"Besides the planetary, solar, and lunar tables and the associated tables of logarithms it includes Tycho Brahe\'s catalog of 1,000 fixed stars, a chronological synopsis, and a list of geographical positions ... Kepler was an astronomer\'s astronomer. It was the astronomers who recognized the immense superiority of the Tabulae Rudolphinae. For the professionals the improvement in planetary predictions was a forceful testimony to the efficacy of the Copernican system\" (Sparrow). Based on Tycho Brahe\'s observations, the tables were then supplemented by Kepler\'s own observations. The calculations were a major mathematical achievement, as of course, Brahe\'s data applied erroneously to \"perfect\" circular orbits. Kepler had discovered the true elliptical shape of the planetary orbits, and thus, had to recalculate everything according to his new laws. The printing history of the book, during the 30 years\' war, is quite complex. There were 1000 copies printed in Ulm in 1627, with three known states, affecting the title and the first two gatherings. Some copies are known with a posthumously published world map, and some have a posthumous appendix - neither is present in this copy. \"In excusing the long delay in publication... [Kepler] mentioned in the preface [p. 6] not only the difficulties of obtaining his salary and of the wartime conditions but also \'the novelty of my discoveries and the unexpected transfer of the whole of astronomy from fictitious circles to natural causes, which were most profound to investigate, difficult to explain, and difficult to calculate, since mine was the first attempt\'\" (DSB).

DOSTOEVSKY CARTE-DE-VISITE INSCRIBED TO ALEXANDER HERZEN.:DOSTOEVSKY, FYODOR. 1821-1881. Photograph signed and inscribed [in Russian] to Alexander Herzen, albumen print carte-de-visite full length portrait by M.B. Tulinov, Petersburg, 1861, 105 x 65 mm, inscribed by Dostoevsky in Russian to the verso, \"Alexander Ivanovich Herzen in memory of our meeting in London. Fyodor Dostoyevsky 8 July/20 July 1862,\" minor stain to verso.
Provenance: Alexander Ivanovich Herzen; to daughter Olga Aleksandrovna [Herzen] Monod; by descent.
Publication: For a discussion of the photograph, see Volgin, Igor. \"Introduction\" to The Dostoevsky Archive (1997), p 21.

Pull quote: \"Herzen awaits his readers in the future. Far above the heads of the present crowd, he transmits his thoughts to those who will be able to comprehend them.\" – Leo Tolstoy, 1905.

VERY RARE CARTE DE VISITE PHOTOGRAPH OF FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY PRESENTED TO ALEXANDER HERZEN IN REMEMBRANCE OF THEIR 1862 MEETING IN LONDON: A TREMENDOUSLY IMPORTANT ASSOCIATION BETWEEN TWO OF THE LEADING INTELLECTUALS OF THE 19TH-CENTURY.

Alexander Herzen was one of the most important and influential Russian writers and thinkers of the 19th-century. called the \"father of Russian socialism,\" he had a profound influence on late-19th century Russian writers, including Fyodor Dostoevsky. Born illegitimately to a wealthy Russian landowner, Herzen became a dissident and critic of the Russian feudal system. Of Herzen, Tolstoy said he had never met a man \"with so rare a combination of scintillating brilliance and depth.\" His writings, including From the Other Shore (1848) and those appearing in his influential publications of the 1850s-60s The Bell and the Polestar, would help mold a generation of Russian writing and thought.

Herzen and Dostoevsky met for the first time in Russia in 1846, following Dostoevsky\'s comment in a letter to his brother that Herzen and Goncharov stand as \"the most remarkable\" of his rivals; Herzen\'s recollection of the meeting was less than effusive, however: \"I can\'t say he made a particularly present impression.\" Their second meeting occurred when Dostoevsky visited Herzen in London in July of 1862, of which this photograph is a memento. During the 1850s and early 1860s, visits to the emigree Herzen by Russian writers and intellectuals were something of a right of passage, and Dostoevsky\'s visit followed right on the heels of Turgenev. This series of meetings profoundly affected Dostoevsky and his work, and is clearly acknowledged in his Winter Notes which he wrote later that year, exhibiting a clear debt to Herzen\'s own writings. Dostoevsky, along with Solzhenitsyn, acknowledged the formative influence of Herzen on his work, and Herzen would also appear in composite in a number of Dostoevsky\'s characters throughout his career. Herzen, however, noted, rather condescendingly, \"Dostoevsky was here yesterday—he is a naïve, not entirely lucid, but a very dear person. He believes enthusiastically in the Russian people.\"

The two towering figures would meet again on a steamship from Naples to Livorno the following year, where Dostoevsky was travelling with his mistress Polina Suslova. According to Suslova\'s diaries (as published in The Dostoevsky Archives), Dostoevsky took pains to hide their relationship from Herzen, introducing her vaguely as a family member, and even encouraged her to arrange a visit with Herzen\'s son in Paris that Winter. After they parted, Dostoevsky became angry with her over a photograph of her he had seen at Herzen\'s, which she had given at an earlier date. In 1865, Dostoevsky wrote to Herzen imploring him for a loan, and became peevish when Herzen did not immediately respond. By the late 1860s Dostoevsky would disparage Herzen, somewhat unfairly, as a \"Westernizer,\" leading to his more severe criticism of Herzen in his Writer\'s Diary.

Herzen was one of the most complex and brilliant figures of the 19th-century, and was largely responsible for assimilating western ideas into Russian thought, while still maintaining his advocacy for the freedom of the Russian serf.

In reality, the two writers/thinkers shared a great deal in their outlook: both asserted the importance of the individual, and the folly of the search for a unified teleological system, cutting against the grain of their mid-19th century contemporaries. While Herzen was embraced by Lenin, identified as the \"father of Russian socialism,\" Herzen\'s socialism was a different breed, \"Centralization may do a great deal for order and for various public undertakings, but it is incompatible with freedom. It easily brings a nation to the position of a well-tended flock or a pack of hounds cleverly kept in order by a huntsman.\" Lenin regarded Herzen\'s focus on freedom as a shortcoming of his bourgeois roots. During the 20th-century Russian-British philosopher Isaiah Berlin came across Herzen\'s writings and recognized the prescience of Herzen\'s thought. It was Berlin, who reestablished Herzen\'s influence, agreeing with and amplifying his idea that the pursuit of \"a perfect society\" invariably leads to blood.

The present photograph was taken by Mikhail Borisovich Tulinov (1823–1889) in Petersburg in 1861. Any period photograph of Dostoevsky is rare, and moreso inscribed. We trace two inscribed photographs at auction in the last 40 years. However, we find no record of an inscribed photograph of similar substance and importance in the historical record. An incredible, and incredibly rare, Dostoevsky item tying together two of the greatest thinkers and writers of the 19th-century.
