NIGHT AT THE OPERA, A (1935)/DAY AT THE RACES, A (1937) - Groucho Marx's Wire Rim Eyeglasses - Groucho Marx's personal wire rim eyeglasses. Marx, the lead star of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's (MGM) Marx Brothers films alongside his brothers Chico and Harpo, wore his signature "Windsor-style" glasses beneath a head of greased hair and above a bushy mustache as Otis B. Driftwood in Sam Wood and Edmund Goulding's A Night at the Opera as well as in Sam Wood's A Day at the Races as Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush. After both films became major hits for MGM, Marx's glasses became signatures of his public appearances throughout his life. He was photographed wearing them at live radio show tapings throughout the 1940s, and Arthur Marx, Groucho's son, included photos of his father wearing his glasses in the book Groucho: A Photographic Journey. Marx's personal secretary and archivist, Steve Stoliar, also referenced the glasses in his book Raised Eyebrows: My Years Inside Groucho's House. Marx's glasses were placed inside a safe deposit box along with his sole Academy Award® after his death in 1977.These metal wire frame glasses originate from the collection of Frank Ferrante, who portrayed Marx across stage, television, and audio programming over three decades in direct collaboration with Groucho's children Arthur and Miriam. They feature a beveled, saddle-style nose bridge and wraparound temple stems as well as a brown leatherette wrapped metal Optics by Victor eyeglasses case with a tan microfiber cleaning cloth.

‘LEOPARD AND MAGPIES’, EX ADOLPHE STOCLET COLLECTIONPlease note this Lot is to be sold at No Reserve. 本拍品不設底價Korea, Joseon dynasty (1392-1897), 19th century. Ink, watercolor, and gouache on silk, mounted on cardboard, with a gold-lacquered wood frame. Finely painted with a spotted leopard standing foursquare amid rocks, grasses, and leaves, below two magpies in flight. Provenance: From the collection of Adolphe Stoclet, and thence by descent in the Stoclet family. Adolphe Stoclet (1871-1949) was a Belgian engineer, financier, and noted collector. He was born into a family of Belgian bankers and became a director of the Société Générale de Belgique after his father’s death. He married Suzanne Stevens (1874-1960), the daughter of the art critic, historian, collector, and dealer Arthur Stevens (1825-1909) and niece of the painter Alfred Stevens (1823-1906). The Stoclets were connected with avant-garde art circles in Paris and Vienna, where they met Josef Hoffmann (1870-1956), who designed the Stoclet’s famous Palais in Brussels. Gustav Klimt (1862-1916) painted the murals in its dining room. The Palais Stoclet, today a UNESCO World Heritage site, was the lavish setting to one of the most important eclectic art collections of all times, which included Egyptian and Chinese sculpture, medieval Italian paintings and metalwork, enamels and relics, as well as Byzantine and Pre-Columbian art.Condition: Good condition with minor wear, little soiling, creasing, small tears, minuscule losses. The frame with some wear, age cracks, and a minor repair to one corner. Dimensions: Image size 211 x 114.5 cm, Size incl. frame 220 x 124 cmKkachi pyobeom, paintings depicting magpies and leopards, was a prominent motif in the minhwa folk art of the Joseon period. The leopard represents authority and the aristocratic yangban, while the dignified magpie represents the common people. Hence, such paintings were a satire of the hierarchical structure of Joseon's feudal society.Museum comparison:Compare a related painting of a leopard and magpie in the Museum of Far Eastern Anitquities, Stockholm.
