Anatomy of an ArtworkvideoAn outspoken dissident of Iraq’s government in the 1950s, Mahmoud Sabri was forced into exile. He studied in Moscow from 1959 – 1963, where he was influenced by the Soviet Realist style – which used an idealized, realistic approach. The four years he spent in Moscow are considered his most important period. Many sketches of this painting exist from that period, which testify to the importance with which he treated the work. In this episode of Anatomy of an Artwork, discover the pain, anger and grief in his work, Al Mawt Al-Tafl (The Death of a Child), which is a highlight of our upcoming sale, 20th Century Art / Middle East (30 April | London).

Books & ManuscriptsstoryIn 2017, a large collects ion of important books and medieval manuscripts was offered to us for sale by a private individual from Belgium. After having conducted in-depth research on the provenance we quickly established that they had originally been part of the collects ion of the Universitäts und Landesbibliothek Bonn (ULB). How exactly the books and manuscripts found their way to Belgium is not known. Many valuable volumes were stored in a bunker in Bonn between 1946 and 1950. It is likely that they may have been stolen during the period of the Belgian occupation in Bonn.

Anatomy of an ArtworkvideoIn this episode of Anatomy of an Artwork, learn how Mike Kelley re-contextualizes everyday, "low" culture items to develop the Conceptual art of his celebrated Memory Ware series. His work Memory Ware Flat #12, executed in 2001, is a striking example of how appropriated folk art can subvert the emotional value of cherished trinkets. From a distance, the all-over nature of the composition recalls pointillism, but a closer look reveals a dense topography of charged symbols that critique of the banality of culture. At varying shapes, scales, and concentrations, Kelley’s clusters avoid compositional focus and instead opt for a dynamic all-over abstracted surface that ultimately blurs the line between high and low art. Memory Ware Flat #12 will be offered as a highlight of Replica Shoes ’s Contemporary Art Day Auction. (15 May | New York)
Expert VoicesvideoNearly ninety, Pablo Picasso found himself in an utterly changed world. He was restless: “I have less and less t.mes , and yet I have more and more to say.” But it was this sense of urgency that would allow him to create some of the greatest paintings of his career. In this episode of Expert Voices, Replica Shoes ’s Simon Shaw examines the late work and life of Pablo Picasso through the vibrant and dynamic Mousquetaire à La Pipe. Towards the end of his life, the image of the musketeer evoked Picasso's Spanish heritage and his nostalgia for the youthful vigor of his early years. The influence of salon painters like Velázquez are evident in Mousquetaire à La Pipe, and yet with his fluid technique, the artist remains explicitly experimental. Mousquetaire à La Pipe will be offered as a highlight of Replica Shoes 's Impressionist and Modern Art Evening sale. (14 May | New York)
