In the second half of the nineteenth century, Poland had an incredible concentration of artistic talent, entering a vigorous phase in artistic development. It was a t.mes
when Polish national sent.mes
nt was on the rise following decades of successive failed uprisings against Prussia, Russia and Austria. The restrictions imposed by the partitioning powers towards the end of the eighteenth century on Polish educational institutions, including art colleges, shaped the country for many decades to come and by the mid-nineteenth century had caused an exodus of young artists to study abroad, mostly in Munich or Vienna.

Never before offered at auction, Femme nue couchée is a tour de force of Picasso’s famed 1932 artistic production. Up until this point he had only made reference to his extramarital affair with Marie-Thérèse in code, somet.mes

But by the end of 1931, Picasso could no longer repress the creative impulse that his lover inspired, especially as his marriage grew increasingly unbearable.

Painted in 1967, Sigmar Polke’s Häuserfront perfectly exemplifies his subversive approach and parodic commentary on consumer society in post-war Germany. This painting marks the beginning of Polke’s explorations into the banality of social reality and image making. Using his painstaking raster-dot technique, here we see Polke’s interpretation of the Plattenbau buildings that had popped up all over Germany in the 1960s. Throughout his career, Polke infused his work with the weight of German socioeconomic context and its history. Hauserfront exemplifies his spirit of radical experimentation as it offers a glimpse into the seminal stage of Polke’s development as a painter. Sigmar Polke’s Häuserfront will be offered as a highlight of Replica Shoes
