Daniel Richter * - Zeitgenössische Kunst I-

Jump from the towers, 2009, signed, dated Daniel Richter 09 on the reverse, oil on canvas, 60 x 50 cm, framed

Daniel Richter is one of 德国y\'s best-known contemporary artists. In a constant balancing act between his left-wing political origins as a squatter in Hamburg and his new lifestyle as a 德国 star painter, Richter uses iconographic representations from art history, mass media and pop culture in his works. He places these as if on a stage onto a reduced, mystical pictorial background often characterised by darkness, depicting the figures themselves in a painterly excess of light and colour.

This pictorial composition is typical of Richter and can also be found in his stage designs for the 2010 Salzburg Festival.

In Jump from the towers, it seems as if the figures are jumping out of the screen with wide-open eyes, as if in panic, in reference to the images of the 9/11 terrorist attack circulating in the media. Their bodies dissolve into streaks and splashes of colour as they move, and their colourfulness is reminiscent of the view through a thermal imaging camera. This connotation fits Richter\'s recurring theme of the total surveillance of society. The figures\' leap into the unknown triggers fascination and at the same time nervousness in the viewer.

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

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

(Pittsburgh 1928–1987 New York)
Jack Nicklaus, 1977, acrylic, silkscreen, ink on canvas, on the reverse with the stamps of The Estate of Andy Warhol and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, New York, numbered with archive number PO 41.049, numbered again on the stretcher, 25.4 x 25.4 cm, on stretcher

Provenance:

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.

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.

Lucio Fontana\'s first perforated canvases were created in 1949, and a decade later the artist began to work on his famous cuts through the canvas. Holes and cuts, buchi and tagli, became variations on Fontana\'s fundamental concept. The \"Olii\", on which Fontana worked intensively from the early 1960s, are also dominated by deep punctures and scratches.

With the radical gesture of piercing, the flat surface of the image is broken. The light falls through the openings, creating a new spatiality and depth. In this way, Fontana crosses a boundary that opens a new dimension and thus a new freedom for art - a revolutionary path in art history.

Accordingly, Fontana names his works \"Concetti Spaziali\" - spatial concepts: \"A hole is the beginning of a sculpture in space. My works are not pictures, but art concepts.\" Fontana allows the art genres - architecture, painting, sculpture - to merge into one another. In his Concetti Spaziali, real and imagined space combine; the view into the hole challenges the viewer\'s imagination. At the same time, the material character of the canvas or object is made tangible by piercing and cutting through it.

Fontana\'s \"Olii\" of the 1960s, as well as his metal works which were created during the same period, bear witness to the artist\'s sensual relationship to the material. He was fascinated by the texture of the malleable, slightly plastic oil paint, which is particularly well-suited to making visible gestures of scoring, piercing, or cutting. Fontana plays with the possibilities of handling canvas, paint, metal, glass or even light: the artistic gesture develops on the material and brings its potential to life.

\"The hole is my invention, that is all there is to it.
After this invention, I can die.\"
Lucio Fontana
