Crafted from materials such as clay, stone, metal, and even precious metals like gold and silver, these vessels showcased the technological and artistic advancements of the time. Bronze Age vessels came in a wide array of shapes, sizes, and decorative styles, reflecting the diverse cultures and traditions across different regions.One of the most common types of vessels in the Bronze Age was the amphora, a tall, narrow-necked vessel used for storing and transporting liquids such as wine, oil, and water. Amphorae were typically made of clay and featured two handles for easy carrying and pouring. The shape of the amphora allowed for efficient stacking and storage, making it an essential container for trade and commerce throughout the ancient world.Bronze Age vessels also included pottery bowls, plates, cups, and jars, which served various domestic and ritualistic functions. These vessels were often adorned with intricate designs, geometric patterns, and symbolic motifs, reflecting the cultural beliefs and aesthetic preferences of ancient societies. Some vessels were used for everyday purposes such as cooking and dining, while others were reserved for special occasions or religious ceremonies.

JULIAN SCHNABEL (AMERICAN B. 1951) UNTITLED (MONJAS DE CALLE CON BUEN OJO) Oil and resin on rubberised fabric 213.5 x 152.5cm (84 x 60 in.)Painted in 1993. Provenance: Waddington Galleries Ltd., London Acquired from the above in 1996Painter-director Julian Schnabel has enjoyed international renown for his powerful aesthetic vision. Among the first artists represented by Mary Boone, Schnabel has since exhibited at Pace Gallery, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and Museo Correr. His large-scale works tend to incorporate an element of collage, as the traditional marriage of oil and canvas is adulterated with an admixture of resin, textiles, and even ceramic shards. The present picture, which reads 'Monjas de calle con buen ojo', or 'Street nuns with a keen eye', belongs to a series by the same title. A typically obscure juxtaposition of concepts, this imposing canvas reflects Schnabel's preoccupation with religion and literature. His decisive mark-making allows for striking visual effects: the calligraphy of 'ojo' for example, resembles a face, while the sinuous dividing line suggests the form of an amphora. Schnabel treats his thematic concerns with parity: the holy and the profane, tradition and modernity, abstraction and figuration. Condition Report: The rubberised fabric surface is slack with associated creases most notable to the extreme edges. There is some puckering to the right edge possibly caused by the thick pigment applied in that area. There is some rubbing to the extreme framing edges with some associated loss to the point of the lower left corner. There is a hole to the lower left corner approx. 20cm up from the lower edge, this is likely part of the artist's intent. Condition Report Disclaimer
NATHAN MABRY (AMERICAN B. 1978) IT IS WHAT IT IS (HOW MANY LICKS DOES IT TAKE) 2007 Terracotta and steel Height 112cm (44in.)The Los Angeles-based sculptor Nathan Mabry is irreverent and intellectual in equal measure. He has exhibited at Praz-Delavallade and the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art; his works can be found in the permanent collections of the Whitney, LACMA, and the Hammer Museum. Mabry's is a syncretic world: he marries ethnic tradition and modern culture with contemptuous ease. The artist is just as likely to turn to pre-Columbian pottery as the minimalism of Donald Judd and John McCracken, often within the same work. Mabry's It Is What It Is series is the embodiment of his practice: referential, erotic, provocative, visually appealing. The suggestive Burgessian title of It Is What Is (The Old In and Out) pertains to its figures' obscene, though subtle, hand gestures. How Many Licks Does It Take is altogether more explicit in its iconography: a strigine countenance gives way to a phallic shaft, forming a crude amphora. The use of terracotta to realise pagan symbolism is deceptively atavistic; Mabry highlights the abiding transcendence of values and beliefs without calling for a return to the past. Condition Report: Some light surface dirt including some white marks to the handle and reverse. Otherwise, the work appears to be in good original condition.Condition Report Disclaimer
