T 1987_EI5, 1987, acrylic on canvas, 65 x 50 cm, framed, is titled and dated on the reverse

This work is registered in the Fondation Hans Hartung et Anna-Eva Bergman and is accompanied by a photo certificate of authenticity

This work will be included in the artist’s forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné currently being prepared by the Fondation Hans et Anna-Eva Bergman

Provenance:

Acquired from the above by the present owner

During his final years ( 1986-1989), Hartung makes a series of paintings that testifies to an enormous degree of freedom. They are very innovative and a perfect fit for the period of the Eighties when graffiti and Street Art are at a highpoint. The works explode by virtue of their use of color and speed of execution. It is as though all pressure has been lifted from the artist, and that he has regained total freedom of expression in the use of spray nozzles of varying intensities to create an ensemble of canvases where speed of execution is driven to the extreme.

Small folio (315 x 200 mm). Folding engraved map and 15 engraved plates, advertising leaf at back. Modern quarter calf and boards. Browning and spotting, some rust holes, brown stain on pp 126-127, a few ink notations and underlines.

FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST ACCOUNT OF CEYLON IN ENGLISH, which provided source material and inspiration for Defoe\'s Robinson Crusoe. Whilst trading along the Coromandel coast Robert Knox (1641-1720) was forced to land at Kottiar Bay, Ceylon, whereupon he was held captive for the next nineteen years, eventually escaping in 1679. The Historical Relation of the Island of Ceylon was written on the voyage back to England, where it was published with encouragement of the East India Company and Robert Hooke of the Royal Society. \"The book influenced the work of contemporaries such as Daniel Defoe, who drew from Knox\'s experiences much of the context for, and the aspirations of, his hero in Robinson Crusoe\" (ODNB).

EMERSON, RALPH WALDO. 1803-1882.:Autograph Manuscript from Emerson\'s notebook, discussing key figures of the French Enlightenment and the Academie, 241 x 182 mm, laid into a larger sheet, ink on light blue paper, numbered \"80\" in upper right corner, [Boston? c.1853], tape to verso at fold.

AN UNPUBLISHED AUTOGRAPH LEAF FROM EMERSON\'S NOTEBOOK CONCERNING FIGURES OF THE FRENCH ENLIGHTENMENT. Headed \"Academie,\" the manuscript gives a brief relation of major French thinkers to the Academie Francaise: Richelieu \"wd not have established it if he cd have seen revolution in it...\"; Saint-Pierre \"induced the Acad to substitute Hope of great men for frivolous subjects\"; Montesquieu \"said, the academie had no other functions than to chatter without end.\" Emerson had visited Paris during the revolution of 1848 and held a high opinion of the French. It is likely this manuscript was produced in 1853 in conjunction with an important series of lectures Emerson would give beginning in January 1854, including \"France, or Urbanity.\" The subject, tone and wit exhibited in the manuscript resemble that of the lecture but has never been published or identified in the lecture.

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).

EINSTEIN\'S DOCTORATE CERTIFICATE FROM HIS \"MIRACULOUS YEAR\" OF 1905.:EINSTEIN, ALBERT. 1879-1955. Doctorate diploma awarded by the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Zurich at its meeting on 27 July 1905, regarding the dissertation of Albert Einstein, titled: \"Eine neue Bestimmung der Molekuldimensionen\" (\"A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions\"), issued in Zurich 15 January 1906. Printed document with signatures and two seals on vellum, 698 x 523 mm. Framed.

EINSTEIN\'S DOCTORATE CERTFICATE — THE CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT OF HIS \"ANNUS MIRABILIS\" obtained for his most frequently cited paper \"A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions\" (Einstein 1905b). During 1905, Einstein wrote 5 landmark papers including his thesis, all published in the Annalen der Physik, and all considered milestones in the foundation of modern physics. They revolutionized our understanding of space, time, mass, and energy and culminated in the world most famous mathematical equation E=mc2. The papers were:

- \"On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light.\" \"Über einen die Erzeugung und Verwandlung des Lichtes betreffenden heuristischen Gesichtspunkt.\" Annalen der Physik 17, 1905 pp. 132-148.

- \"A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions.\" \"Eine neue Bestimmung der Moleküldimensionen.\" Bern: Buchdruckreei Wyss, 1906. Also slightly revised in Annalen der Physik. 19, 1906, pp 289–305.

- \"On the Movement of Small Particles Suspended in a Stationary Liquid Required by the Molecular-Kinetic Theory of Heat.\" \"Über die von der molekularkinetischen Theorie der Wärme geforderte Bewegung von in ruhenden Flüssigkeiten suspendierten Teilchen.\" Annalen der Physik.17, 1905, pp 549–560

- \"On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies.\" \"Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper.\" Annalen der Physik. 17, pp 901-921.

- \"Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?\" \"Über die von der molekularkinetischen Theorie der Wärme geforderte Bewegung von in ruhenden Flüssigkeiten suspendierten Teilchen.\" Annalen der Physik. 17, 1905, S. 549–560.

With a thesis on intermolecular forces Einstein attempted to earn a doctorate from the University of Zurich as early as 1901. He withdrew his paper shortly after he submitted it to Alfred Kleiner, Professor of Physics at the University of Zurich. His second attempted completed April 30, 1905 was more fruitful. On July 20, 1905, Einstein formally submitted another thesis to Dr. Kleiner, who enlisted the help of Heinrich Burkhardt, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Zurich, to check the calculations in Einstein\'s dissertation. Shortly after, on July 27 the philosophical faculty awarded Einstein with the doctorate, and issued the formal acknowledgement on January 15, 1906:

\"Unter der Oberhoheit der Behoerden und des Volkes des Kantons / und im Namen der / Universitaet Zuerich / hat die Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Sektion / der / Phiolosophischen Fakultaet / in Ihrer Sitzung vom 27 Juli 1905 / dem Herren / Albert Einstein / von Zuerich / auf Grund seiner Dissertation betitelt: / \"Eine Neue Bestimmung der Molekuldimensionen\" / und der Vorschriftsmaessigen Pruefungsausweis / die Rechte und Wuerden / eines Doctor der Philosophie / verliehen / und stellt zum Zeugnis dessen diese mit dem Universitaetsstempel versehene Urkunde aus / Gegegeben in Zurich / 15 Januar 1906 / Fuer den Akademischen Senat / der Rector Dr. Otto Haab / Fuer die II Sektion der Philosophischen Fakultaet / der Dekan: Prof. Dr. Rudolf Martin. With the paper seal of the \"Academia Turicensis MDCCC XXXIII\", under the signature of the dean the paper seal \"Philosophorum Turicensium Ordo\" in center.

In his dissertation Einstein \"combined the techniques of classical hydrodynamics with those of the theory of diffusion to create a new method for the determination of molecular sizes and of Avogadro\'s number, a method he applied to solute sugar molecules ... Compared to the other topics of his research at the time, his hydrodynamical method for determining molecular dimensions was a dissertation topic uniquely suited to the empirically oriented Zurich academic environment. In contrast to the Brownian-motion work, for which the experimental techniques needed to extract information from observations were not yet available, Einstein\'s hydrodynamical method for determining the dimensions of solute molecules enabled him to derive new empirical results from data in standard tables\" (Miraculous Year).

Years later Einstein remarked \"perhaps half-jokingly, that when he submitted his thesis, Professor Kleiner rejected it for being too short, so he added one more sentence and it was promptly accepted. There is no documentary evidence for this. Either way, his thesis actually became one of his most cited and practically useful papers, with applications in such diverse fields as cement mixing, dairy production, and aerosol products. And even though it did not help him get an academic job, it did make it possible for him to become known, finally, as Dr. Einstein\" (Isaacson).

Einstein\'s doctorate from the University of Zurich represents the cornerstone of his academic career that would take him from Zurich to Berlin and finally to Princeton, along the way transforming our perception of the cosmos, and the way we understand it.

This small-format work by Andy Warhol from 1977 is a portrait of one of the best golfers of the 20th century - US golfer Jack Nicklaus, also known as The Golden Bear.

From the early 1960s until the late 1980s, Nicklaus was regarded as one of the best golfers in the world. With 18 major victories under his belt, he is still the most successful player in his sport.

This portrait was created as part of Warhol’s so-called Athletes series, commissioned by his friend and art collector Richard Weisman. It includes a total of ten portraits of famous athletes of the time, such as Muhammad Ali, Chris Evert and Pelé.
It is an interesting departure from Warhol’s usual society portraits and occupies a rather idiosyncratic position in his extensive oeuvre.

Warhol had little interest in sports and its heros, and did not choose the protagonists of the series himself, leaving this task to Weisman. The latter knew many athletes personally, which made it easy to persuade them to pose for Warhol. Warhol eventually met each of the top athletes in person, and took photographs of them with his Polaroid Big Shot camera. The silkscreen portraits were subsequently created on the basis of these images. Each portrait is executed in various colors, and captures both the glamour and personality of the individual athlete.

Of the around 60 Polaroids Warhol made of Jack Nicklaus with his Big Shot camera, he selected four and processed them further into canvases.
On the basis on the photographs of Nicklaus with his golf club, Warhol ultimately created 15 original portraits of the athlete.
