Works from the collection of Theodor Stoperan In its 22nd issue of the same year, the Internationale Sammlerzeitung reported on what was probably the first auction of works from the Theodor Stoperan Collection, which took place at Paul Graupe in Berlin on November 2nd and 3rd, 1928. The auction results at that time reflected national and international greats of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art, with whom Stoperan maintained a friendly relationship. Stoperan, born in Bremen in 1867, was in charge of the Kunstsalon Paul Cassirer from 1910. The Kunstsalon established itself as one of the most important galleries of Impressionist art from its inception in 1898 and exhibited not only French masters but also the main representatives of German Impressionism, who later - with Cassirer as chairman - belonged to the Berlin Secession: Max Liebermann, Max Slevogt and Lovis Corinth were among Stoperan's acquaintances. This is evidenced, among other things, by portraits of Liebermann and Slevogt made at the same time, which show the art dealer. It can be assumed that Leo Klein von Diepold, who was based in Berlin at the time, was also present at this artistic meeting in 1923; his portrait of Theodor Stoperan (estimate € 500 - 700) depicts the authorized officer in a very similar appearance to those works by his fellow artists. |

The post-war art era in the auction includes two artists who are represented with object art or an object resulting from a happening Karl Fred Dahmen's 'Galgenkasten/Therminus Vertikal' (estimate € 5,000 - 7,000) forms the middle object box of the gallows triptych from 1971, in which he assembled found objects from his adopted home in Chiemgau, which he moved to in 1967. In view of the upcoming centenary year of Herbert Zang's birth in March 2024, we present several works by the artist in our auction. From his rich oeuvre, we are offering the work '13 Stühle' (estimate € 40,000 - 50,000), which dates from 1978. The artwork is the result of a happening on June 5, 1978 at the Museum Wiesbaden, which took place as part of the exhibition 'Verweißungen' (July 4th - July 27th, 1978). As photographs from the time document, the happening was initially opened with a discussion between the visitors and the artist while the visitors sat on the chairs. Herbert Zangs then stacked two chairs on top of each other with the participation of visitors and lined them up. This installation was then connected with gauze bandages and cords to form an object unit and finally "partially welded", i.e. painted irregularly with white paint |

Colorful, popular, close to everyday life, rich in contrast - these are just some of the terms that describe pop art. The style epoch is represented by Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, Keith Haring and Roy Lichtenstein. Alex Katz's 'Self-Portrait (Passing)' from 'Alex and Ada, the 1960's to the 1980's' from 1990 (estimate € 5,000 - 10,000) is an artist's proof copy for the edition of 150 pieces. A particular highlight is Allen Jones' painting 'Parable of Our Time II' from 1981 (estimate €25,000 - 35,000). The renowned British artist created an impressive series of paintings in the 1980s that further advanced the Pop Art movement. His works are characterized by a unique blend of hyper-realistic depiction and powerful abstraction, often presenting stylized figures and objects in vivid colors. We look forward to your active participation in our auction! |
