SOTHEBY’S MASTERS WEEK EXHIBITION
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ON JANUARY 25, 2019
New York, January 18, 2019
Sotheby’s auction of 19th Century European Art on 1 February 2019 will present over 200 works that reflect the rich diversity of artistic production of the period. Paintings by Rosa Bonheur, Virginie Demont-Breton and Elizabeth Gardner Bouguereau are among the highlights from The Female Triumphant – a group of masterworks by trailblazing female artists from the 16th through the 19th centuries, which will be offered across our Masters Week sales this January. The sale is further distinguished by William Bouguereau and Jules Breton’s portraits of rural life, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema and John William Godward’s epic visions on the Ancient world, and Pascal Adolphe Jean Dagnan-Bouveret and Jean Béraud’s views of life in the Belle Époque – many of which are from private collections and resurfacing at auction for the first time in over a century.
Open to the public on 25 January, the sale will be presented alongside Sotheby’s Masters Week exhibitions.
THE FEMALE TRIUMPHANT: WOMEN ARTISTS OF THE PREMODERN ERA
Rosa Bonheur
Le Labourage
Estimate: $80,000-$120,000
In the late nineteenth century, Paris invited innovation, experimentation and boundary breaking, yet the advancements made by women artists in the public sphere were met with challenges. Thanks to their irrefutable talent and perseverance, women certainly found success, as illustrated in the vital careers of the artists featured in The Female Triumphant, including Rosa Bonheur, Virginie Demont-Breton and Elizabeth Gardner Bouguereau.
A precocious talent from a young age, Rosa Bonheur first exhibited at the Salon in 1841. Four years later, she presented Le labourage, and earned a third place medal for its characteristically meticulous craftsmanship and photographic realism (above, estimate $80/120,000). Her achievement not only cemented her as a success, but led to further commissions and ultimately the
French Légion d’honneur, which was presented to her in 1865 and marked the first time a woman received the honor.
Elizabeth Gardner Bouguereau was one of the most accomplished Salon artists among expatriates in mid-nineteenth century Paris and in 1887 had the distinction of becoming the only American woman to receive a Salon medal. In addition, Gardner’s personal and professional attachment to her husband William Bouguereau was instrumental in establishing her style and in marketing her work such as La captive, exhibited at the Salon of 1883 (front page, estimate $250/350,000), and Les trois amis (estimate $250/350,000).
Virginie Demont-Breton
Femme de pêcheur venant de baigner ses enfants
Estimate: $100,000-$150,000
Virginie Demont-Breton enjoyed an artistic upbringing and cultivated her talent from an early age, having trained under her father, Jules Breton, who work is also represented in the auction. Winning Demont-Breton’s first medal at the Salon of 1881, Femme de pêcheur venant de baigner ses enfants is the artist’s earliest masterpiece, propelling her distinguished career as a painter and as a pioneering advocate for women artists (estimate $100/150,000). In 1894, Demont-Breton was the second woman in France to be awarded the Légion d’honneur and from 1895-1901 served as the president of the Union des Femmes Peintres et Sculpteurs where she was instrumental in the fight to grant women entrance to Paris’ École des Beaux Arts.
WILLIAM BOUGUEREAU: MASTER OF FRENCH ACADEMIC PAINTING
William Bougereau
Bacchante
Estimate: $600,000-$800,000
A selection of 10 works by William Bouguereau will be highlighted by Le livre de prix, one of the finest canvases of the artist’s mature period to come to auction (front page, estimate $1/1.5 million). The young girl in the present work is Yvonne, one of the artist’s favorite models, who appears in many of Bouguereau’s compositions from 1893. Formerly in the collection of Henry May, Vice President and General Manager of the Pierce-Arrow Motor Company, the work has remained in the same family’s collection for over 100 years. Known only through a black and white photograph from Bouguereau’s studio, its presentation today marks an important and long-awaited rediscovery.
Also featured in the January sale is Bacchante from 1894 (above, estimate $600/800,000). The painting was likely inspired by the mythological subjects favored by many nineteenth century artists, including Bouguereau’s English contemporaries Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema and John William Godward. The woman in the present work, a Dionysian devotee, belongs to a series the artist referred to as “fantasy paintings,” a theme that the artist established through earlier works that illustrate Classical narratives.
JULES BRETON: THE PAINTER OF PEASANTS
Jules Breton
Le Matin
Estimate: $400,000-$600,000
The January sale features four exceptional works spanning three decades of Jules Breton’s career. La Glaneuse is a recent discovery, compelling a renewed appreciation of the pivotal production of the self-proclaimed “painter of peasants’” early oeuvre (estimate $150/200,000). Known for his Realist, rural landscapes populated by shepherdesses, harvesters and gleaners, the atmospheric tour-de-force of Le Matin (above, estimate $400/600,00) received widespread admiration upon its exhibition at the Salon of 1883, while La Falaise’s enigmatic subject of a peasant girl looking out to sea has captivated audiences since the late 1870s (estimate $200/300,000).
VICTORIAN & BRITISH PAINTINGS
Sir Frank Dicksee P.R.A.
Yseult
Estimate: $1,000,000-$2,000,000
Featured on the sale’s catalogue cover is Sir Frank Dicksee’s Yseult, which the artist presented at the Royal Academy in 1901 (below, estimate $1/2 million). Inspired by Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur, the painting depicts Princess Yseult of the White Hands, the wife of Sir Tristram, who gazes out of her window looking for a ship on the horizon.
Female beauty would always be an important element of Dicksee’s paintings and his gorgeously decorative single-figure subjects like the present work are among his most celebrated pictures.
Completed in 1922, A Dilettante by John William Godward marks an important rediscovery for the artist, reappearing for the first time in nearly a century (estimate $400/600,000). Regarded as one of his last great paintings, A Dilettante demonstrates Godward’s painstaking attention to detail and depicts the artist’s vision of idyllic Antiquity.
Painted in 1894, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema’s jewel-like Past and Present Generations embodies the artist’s connection to the antique subjects which he cherished (right, estimate $300/500,000). In addition to painting subtle narratives with emotional depth, Alma-Tadema was known for his diligent sourcing of historical references, such as the marble Roman funerary busts of the balustrade, which are based on precise drawings Alma-Tadema made in the Uffizi in Florence and the Capitoline Museum in Rome.
Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, O.M., R.A.
Past and Present Generations
Estimate: $300,000-$500,000
The auction also offers an extraordinary oil painting by the great English Victorian-era artist John Atkinson Grimshaw. A prime example of the artist’s trademark street scenes throughout the 1880s, A November Morning, exhibits the hallmarks of Grimshaw’s mature style, and his atmospheric depiction of the evening and the first light of the morning (Estimate: $200,000-$300,000).
Among the selection of outstanding maritime paintings to be offered is Fresh Winds, High Seas by British artist Montague Dawson (Estimate: $200,000-$300,000).
Sailing on the white-capped ocean, with its sails fully unfurled, the sea spray and sunlight tangible, the monumental canvas of the racing clipper is being offered by The Saint Louis Art Museum To Benefit Future Acquisitions.
THE BACHMAN COLLECTION
LIVE AUCTION – JUNE 4, 2018
What started as an exciting estate appraisal for me has blossomed into one of the most anticipated single owner sales of American abstract expressionism. Eighteen important works of modern art collected by Gilbert and Lee Bachman will be sold at an auction scheduled for noon on Monday, June 4, 2018, at Freeman’s Auction House, 1808 Chestnut St., Philadelphia.
The Bachmans spent many years compiling a collection that includes major works by Hans Hofmann, Louise Nevelson, Willem de Kooning and Fernando Botero. Original purchase receipts demonstrate the stellar provenance of the works. In addition, several were exhibited in important institutions like The Whitney and owned by Clement Greenberg, arguably the most significant art critic of Abstract Expressionism.
Provenance is important because at any point in its history a work of art’s authenticity can be called into question. A detailed provenance record authenticates the artwork and gives an insight into the history of past owners of the work, both of which may impact the value and desirability of the piece. For example, the value of works owned by Elizabeth Taylor, in the Taubman Collection and in the Rockefeller collection skyrocketed because these works are more desirable because the previous owners were famous.
Their exhibition history and record of ownership will make these 18 works highly desired by collectors and institutions. The sale will consist of paintings, sculptures and works on paper.
A member of the Georgia Institute of Technology’s Engineering Hall of Fame, Gilbert was chairman, chief executive officer and majority stockholder of printing powerhouse Dittler Brothers in Atlanta. He and his wife, Lee, were active in several community organizations, including the Atlanta Humane Society, the Atlanta Chapter of the Anti-Defamation League and the Atlanta Jewish Federation.
Auction highlights include:
- “Cinquecento” (estimated value $300,000-500,000), a large canvas by American abstract expressionist Helen Frankenthaler.
- Three works by Hans Hofman: “Phantasie in Red” (estimate: $20,000-30,000), “Cataclysm (Homage to Howard Putzel)” (estimate: $150,000-250,000) and “Composition #43” (estimate: $150,000-250,000), which was previously in the collection of art critic Clement Greenberg, who championed abstract expressionism from its earliest days.
- Two black painted wood sculptures by Louise Nevelson, a student of Hofmann and one of the leading figures in American sculpture of the 20th century: “Dream House Wall II” (estimate: $250,000-400,000), comprised of eight separate painted wood components; and “Cascades – Perpendiculars XII” (estimate: $50,000-80,000).
- “Head #3” (estimate: $250,000-400,000), a bronze by abstract expressionist Willem de Kooning.
- “Dog,” (estimate: $120,000-180,000), a sculpture by Colombian artist Fernando Botero, who was executed in 1981. Botero, who received several international awards, portrays his subjects in exaggerated, rotund form.
- “Woman in White Wicker Rocker” (estimate: $100,000-150,000) and “Nude Torso” (estimate: $2,000-3,000), sculptures by George Segal who is best known for his life-size plaster figures.
- Two fantastic wall sculptures by Lynda Benglis who invented a new format with her celebrated “pours,” which resembled paintings but came off the wall to occupy the space of sculpture.
These works will be on view from May 30 until the auction on June 4.
FINALLY, A NEW KIND OF ART FAIR
As art advisors we need to make the rounds. Art Basel, Art Frieze, Tefaf, the Armory Show. Each art fair follows the basic formula, a large space with dealers displaying their works in their booths. Little red dots under works sold in advance to top collectors… champagne flowing at the VIP opening.
I live in Silicon Valley. As wealth and innovation are the bed rock of Silicon Valley, art has taken a back seat. It’s not surprising. It’s hard to believe that a traditional art fair model would be appealing to young, innovative and wealthy entrepreneurs and royalty of the tech world.
There is no doubt that is exactly what Linda Helen Gieseke and Sho-Joung Kim-Wechsler must have been thinking when they realized that there was an artistic vacuum in Silicon Valley. Kim-Weschler knows the tech world after stints at Artsy and 1st dibs. Hence this fair needed be more than champagne and art, it needed to be a full artistic experience integrating visual art, performance, technology and innovation.
What is even more important is that If So What is positioning itself as a thought leader, bringing tech founders and CEO’s with art professionals in a series of panels.
The Fine Art Group is proud to be part of the forefront of a new generation of art fairs that are uniquely positioned to appeal to the young, the innovative and those seeking knowledge.

Savy collectors who attend shows and fairs are using art advisors to research artist and markets before jumping into a purchase. Buyers should remain discerning when purchasing via shows and consider the following before purchasing: remove the emotion of purchase, analyze the artist, medium, size, subject matter, rarity, provenance and sales history – it is very important to confirm the sales price at auction as understanding the market of your acquisition is the basis of negotiation. Work with advisors to negotiate the purchase of a new acquisition as advisors can often save clients upwards of 20% on a new purchase. The Fine Art Group Advisors charges $300 for market analytics reports which provides a diagnostic analysis of the quality and market for the acquisition. An additional 5% of the final sales price will be charged for negotiating on the client’s behalf.
WHEN ARE VALUABLE OBJECTS CONSIDERED APPRECIATING ASSETS?
How does the expanding global art market affect the value of fine art, collector cars, memorabilia, wine, silver, jewelry and other collectibles owned by clients?
What factors influence the value of objects?
During the past several years, fine art and collectible markets have been in a continuous state of evolution expanding into new countries and to new purchasers across the globe. Due to the increased number of international buyers, tastes and desires have broadened. As a result, the value of fine art, jewelry, vintage cars and collectibles have fluctuated tremendously over the past decade due to changes in consumer demand. Many personal collectors remain unaware of the value changes and as a result, their personal assets are not adequately protected nor managed.
This presentation will educate you on the state of the art and collectible markets. You will also develop an understanding of the importance of planning for and insuring a client’s valuable tangible assets.

The next teleconference will be Dec. 14 with Colleen Boyle, senior vice president-national sales director of The Fine Art Group, as a guest speaker. Her topic will “Completing the Picture of Wealth: Managing Tangible Assets.”
The exhibition brings together a selection of artworks realized between 1959 to 1994 by Edward Kienholz and Nancy Reddin Kienholz, including the well-known installation ‘Five Car Stud’ that gives the show its title.
A life-sized reproduction of a scene of racial violence, Five Car Stud is considered one of the American artist’s most significant works. Despite the controversy and attention that it earned from critics right from its debut, the piece remained hidden from view in the storage of a Japanese collector for almost forty years.
‘Five Car Stud” is now part of the Prada Collection, and is being shown for the first time ever in Italy, where it forms the central nucleus of an exhibition path that runs from the Sud gallery to the Deposito, and extends into an external space, presenting 25 artworks including sculpture, assemblages and tableaux realized by the Kienholzes from 1959 to 1994, as well as documentation material on the history and making of Five Car Stud.
The exhibition offers what Peter Aspden in the Financial Times, calls “ withering critiques of US society”. It includes representations of violent situations that the Foundation warns may disturb or offend some visitors. The Foundation advises minors to avoid visiting the exhibition, and in any case may do so only when accompanied by an adult who assumes full responsibility for the visit.
