FERNANDO BOTERO (1932-2023)Dog on a cushion 1976 incised with the artist's signature and numbered 5/6bronze34 by 37 by 40 cm.13 3/8 by 14 9/16 by 15 3/4 in.This work was executed in 1976, and is number 5 from an edition of 6.Footnotes:Provenance Didier Imbert Fine Art, ParisPrivate Collection, Saint Tropez (acquired from the above in 1993)Thence by descent to the present ownerExhibitedMonte Carlo, Marisa del Re Gallery, Fernando Botero, 1992, another example exhibitedParis, Avenue Des Champs-Élysées, Grand Palais and Galerie Didier Imbert Fine Art, Botero Aux Champs-Élysées - Sculptures et Œuvres sur Papiers, 1992-1993, p. 156, another example exhibited and illustrated in colour Literature Jean-Clarence Lambert, Benjamín Villegas (Ed.), Botero Sculptures, Colombia 1998, p. 61, another example illustrated in colour, n.p., another example illustrated in colour Renowned for his distinctive style characterised by voluptuous and exaggerated forms, the Colombian artist Fernando Botero has left an indelible mark on the history of art. His works evoke a sense of affection and endearment, transcending cultural and linguistic boundaries and animals often play a quintessential role in them. Having studied under Roberto Longhi, a distinguished authority on Italian Renaissance and Baroque art, Botero obtained a remarkable art historical knowledge of Western Classicism that transfuses his oeuvre and made him one of the world's most revered and sought-after artists of the present day. The canon of art history, especially the European one became a rich source of inspiration, and no subject is quite as interwoven into the history of art as the humble dog, man's best friend and faithful companion. Dog on a Cushion from 1976 is a beautifully playful example of Botero's celebrated sculptural practice, with the small well-rounded canine proudly perching on a fluffy cushion- an emblem of domesticity and comfort but also a nod to the importance we give to the pets in our lives. The artist's fascination with horses, cats, birds, and dogs is a prominent feature throughout his oeuvre. Characterised by an intentional exaggeration of his subjects' forms, Botero's ability to infuse life into his sculptures is striking. The present work is not a mere imitation of a dog but a celebration of its essence, the exaggerated curves and humorous expectantly outstretched tongue emphasize the joviality and charm of the animal, which might at any moment jump off the cushion.Dogs have held a significant role in art history as subjects of fascination, symbolism, and companionship. From ancient cave paintings to the masterpieces of the Renaissance and beyond, dogs have been depicted in various contexts, reflecting their diverse roles in human societies. As companions and symbols of fidelity, dogs often appear in portraits, signifying loyalty, trust, and the bonds of friendship. Furthermore, their depictions in hunting scenes highlight their utilitarian roles as skilled hunters and trackers. In the broader context of art history, dogs have served as allegorical symbols, representing virtue, faithfulness, or even human qualities, reminding us of their enduring importance in the human experience.Profoundly influenced by the classical masterworks he saw during his studies and travels, Botero dedicated his life to critically re-interpret iconic paintings, paying homage to the great artists of the past whilst finding true originality doing so. Not unlike Picasso, whose Cubist breakthrough came after experimenting with the construction of a guitar, Botero had his artistic revolution with a mandolin. In 1956, the artist painted an image of a mandolin resting on a table and decided to place a disproportionately small hole in the body of the instrument, thus transforming it into an object of exaggerated mass and monumentality; a lifelong fascination with the exploration of volume was born.World-renowned for his often epic paintings, Botero's foray into sculpture has further enriched his artistic repertoire over the decades. Dog on a Cushion stands as a prime example of his prowess in this medium. His sculptures are characterised by the same aesthetic principles that define his paintings—exaggerated volumes, harmonious proportions, and a playful approach to form. The transition from canvas to three-dimensional sculpture however allowed the artist to bring his iconic subjects to life in a tangible and interactive way with a tactile quality that invites viewers to engage on a more physical level. Dog on a Cushion exemplifies this approach, with its smooth, sensuous surfaces inviting touch and exploration. The artist said that 'For my entire life, I've felt as if I had something to say in terms of sculpture. It's a very strong desire...pleasure—that of touching the new reality that you create. Certainly, in a painting you give the illusion of truth, but with sculpture, you can touch its reality . . . . If I paint a knife in my pictures, it's imaginary, but if I sculpt it, then the sensation of having it in your hand is real— it's an object from your spirit, it's a sensual experience even in its execution. It brings a special joy to touch the material with your hands.' (the artist in: E. J. Sullivan, Botero Sculpture, New York 1986, p. 13.Fernando Botero's contributions to the world of art are substantial and far-reaching and his unique style and unwavering commitment to his artistic vision have earned him a significant place in art history. His oeuvre serves as a bridge between traditional and contemporary art, drawing from classical techniques while infusing them with a modern and innovative sensibility. Embracing diversity and celebrating the inherent charm in all subjects, he challenges conventional notions of beauty and representation and forces viewers to reconsider their preconceived notions and stereotypes. The same dog of undefined breed as in the present work can be found in many of the artist's paintings, and a large-scale sculpture version, without the plump cushion, can be found in the Plaza Botero in the artist's hometown of Medellín. Other Botero works are presently held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museo Botero in Bogotá. In 1958 and 1992 Botero participated in the Venice Biennale and represented Colombia in the 5th São Paulo Biennial, Brazil. He has had major retrospectives at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC (1979); Seibu Museum of Art, Tokyo (1981); Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid (1987); Museo de Bellas Artes, Bilbao (2012); and many others. Botero's international recognition and ability to transcend geographical and cultural boundaries has elevated the visibility of Latin American artists on the global stage. Unequivocally timeless, his work continues to inspire artists worldwide, encouraging them to explore new dimensions of expression and representation and Dog on a Cushion offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire a charming example from the contemporary master's celebrated oeuvre.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Book of Hours, Use of Rome, in Latin. Illuminated manuscript on vellum [Southern Netherlands, probably Bruges, c. 1460], ii + 74 + ii leaves, lacking a calendar and an uncertain number of other leaves, probably including miniatures, foliated in 19th-century red ink; ruled in purple-red ink for 19 lines per page, the ruled space 103 × 60 mm, written in a gothic textura script, with some very calligraphic flourishes (e.g. f. 1v), ILLUMINATED WITH ONE FULL-PAGE MINIATURE, LARGE FOLIATE INITIALS AND FULL BORDERS at the main textual divisions (ff. 1r, 3r, 6r, 49r), and with two-sided borders at the seven individual hours, plus the two prayers at the end; hundreds of one- and two-line illuminated initials throughout. marbled endpapers, burgundy morocco gilt bookplate of W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey, all edges gilt, early 19th-century Italian red leather, the covers with a wide gilt frame of palmettes, the front cover with ‘Anna. Bays.’ and the spine with ‘Uffizio’ in gilt capitals, 8vo (174 x 122 mm)QTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance:Anna Bays (name on front cover).? Count Carlo Francesco Giacinto Caissotti di Chiusano (1754–1831): bought by ‘Caissotti di Chiusano’ for 24 lire in 1827 (inscription on front flyleaf).W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey (bookplate).Text:Hours of the Cross (f. 1r), and of the Holy Spirit (f. 3r); Mass of the Virgin (f. 6r); Hours of the Virgin (f. 14r), with Lauds (f. 21r), Prime (f. 29v), Terce (f. 32v), Sext (f. 35r), None (f. 37r), Vespers (f. 39v), and Compline (f. 44v); full-page miniature (f. 48v) and Seven Penitential Psalms (f. 49r), followed (f. 57r) by a Litany of saints; Office of the Dead (f. 60r); prayers ‘Obsecro te’ (f. 70v) and ‘O intemerata’ (f. 73v), both using masculine forms.Illumination:The decoration of this manuscript is typical of the mid-level works produced in large numbers in 15th-century Bruges both for locals and for visitors to the major trading town. The style of the surviving full-page miniature is related to that of the so-called Master of the Beady Eyes, which, with that of Willem Vrelant, was dominant in Bruges in the third quarter of the 15th century. An unusual feature of the present book is that the miniature is part of an integral bifolium, ruled for text, rather than a single leaf, blank on the back, as would be expected in Flanders at this date. This suggests that the book was produced by a stationer to sell ‘off-the-peg’, rather than to be customised with the insertion of miniatures according to the customer’s taste and pocket. The image shows the Last Judgement: Christ sits on an arc blessing, displaying his wounds, with a lily and a sword at his mouth, praised by the Virgin and John the Baptist, while souls rise from their graves.

Pan American World Airways, commonly known as Pan Am, was a major international airline that operated from 1927 to 1991. At its peak, Pan Am was one of the most recognized and influential airlines in the world, playing a significant role in shaping the history of commercial aviation. Here's an overview of Pan Am:1. Early History: Pan Am was founded in 1927 by Juan Trippe, initially as a small airline providing mail and passenger services between Key West, Florida, and Havana, Cuba. The airline quickly expanded its routes and operations, pioneering long-distance and transoceanic flights.2. Transatlantic and Transpacific Flights: Pan Am became renowned for its transatlantic and transpacific flights, connecting the United States with Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world. The airline operated luxurious flying boats, such as the famous Boeing 314 Clipper, which allowed for extended-range travel over water. These flights marked significant milestones in aviation history and brought intercontinental travel to a new level of comfort and sophistication.3. Innovations and Milestones: Pan Am was known for its continuous innovations in the airline industry. It introduced numerous advancements, including radio communications, instrument flying, and the development of airport infrastructure. Pan Am also played a vital role in establishing international air travel regulations and standards.4. Jet Age and Expansion: In the 1950s and 1960s, Pan Am embraced the Jet Age by introducing jet aircraft to its fleet, such as the Boeing 707 and Boeing 747. This allowed for faster and more efficient long-haul flights, further expanding the airline's reach across the globe. Pan Am continued to expand its route network, serving destinations in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.5. Cultural Influence and Iconic Image: Pan Am became synonymous with style, luxury, and glamour. Its flight attendants, known as Pan Am stewardesses, were admired as symbols of elegance and professionalism. The iconic blue and white Pan Am logo, known as the "Blue Meatball," became a recognizable symbol of aviation and travel.6. Financial Challenges and Decline: Despite its early successes, Pan Am faced financial difficulties in the 1980s. Factors such as rising fuel costs, increased competition, and geopolitical events, including the Lockerbie bombing in 1988, significantly impacted the airline's operations. Pan Am ultimately filed for bankruptcy in 1991 and ceased all operations, marking the end of an era in aviation.7. Legacy: Pan Am left a lasting legacy in the aviation industry. It played a crucial role in popularizing international air travel, connecting people around the world, and promoting cultural exchange. Pan Am's influence can still be felt today, as it paved the way for the modern global aviation network and inspired subsequent generations of airlines.While Pan Am is no longer in operation, its legacy continues to captivate aviation enthusiasts and serve as a reminder of the pioneering spirit and glamour of early commercial air travel.Mounted to linen.Measures 24 x 36.

Climbers face numerous challenges, including altitude sickness, extreme weather conditions, avalanches, and crevasses.4. Base Camps: The journey to the summit of Everest typically begins at base camps located on either the south (Nepal) or north (Tibet) side of the mountain. These base camps serve as essential logistics hubs for climbers and support teams.5. Khumbu Icefall: One of the most dangerous sections of the climb is the Khumbu Icefall, a treacherous and ever-changing ice field full of towering ice seracs and crevasses.6. Sherpas: Local Sherpa communities play a vital role in supporting mountaineering expeditions, serving as guides, porters, and high-altitude workers. They possess invaluable knowledge of the mountain and its terrain.7. Ecological Importance: The Everest region is ecologically significant, containing a wide range of ecosystems, from temperate forests at lower elevations to alpine tundra and glaciers at higher altitudes.8. Environmental Concerns: Mount Everest faces environmental challenges due to increasing tourism and mountaineering activities.

1995 Rolls-Royce Flying Spur Transmission: automaticMileage:18000The Rolls-Royce advertising logo of making the best cars in the world was certainly relevant when the Flying Spur model was launched. This model was not just the fastest or most expensive Rolls-Royce saloon to appear on the price list but was also the most exclusive, only produced for the 1995 model year, a total of 134 were produced, 92 in left hand drive and 42 in right hand drive being delivered from the factory in Crewe. Apart from the restriction in numbers produced it was the first Rolls-Royce with the turbo engine and was the most powerful model on the market at the time. The factory announced that although weighing in at 2387kg this model could propel itself to 60mph in a remarkable 6.9 seconds. This newly turbocharged engine also produced the greatest torque of any production car at the time and eclipsed even the McLaren F1 and Aston Martin Vantage. Essentially a Rolls-Royce with Bentley Turbo R running gear, the Flying Spur was more powerful and agile than a comparative Rolls-Royce Silver Spur III, on which the car was based on.This fantastic low mileage Flying Spur has covered a mere 18,000 miles and it was number 23 off the production line and was delivered to H.R. Owen Greenford on 25th January 1995 before being shipped to its first owner in Hong Kong later that year, the only year in which these cars were produced. The car is presented in Wildberry with a sumptuous Sandstone leather interior with Wildberry piping, lambswool rugs and accompanying silk privacy curtains, burr oak veneers and cocktail cabinet. Sitting in the rear 'as one should' is a real treat and should you require entertainment the inbuilt Sony VCR system can entertain you from the screens mounted in the headrests. Look up to the electronically operated sunroof, all options for which the car had to be sent to Rolls-Royce in house coachbuilders, Mulliner Park Ward to fit alongside the touring limousine rear window and rear blind. It is an open secret that the rejected leather from Rolls-Royce went to their competitor Bentley, which underlines once again what perfectionist Rolls-Royce were and this example is no exception. The woodwork was often sanded for a week to get it to the right level and the interior of any Flying Spur clearly provides a nod as to their targeted audience, those of significant wealth or notoriety and despite attempts the elusive previous owner is yet to accept our vendors invitation to be named. Options specified from the factory beyond the coachbuilt items also include adjustable rear seats, chrome door mirrors, uprated infotainment, veneered picnic tables, passenger airbag and rear quarter badges to name a few which can all found on the Rolls-Royce order sheets contained within the history file. Our owner and Rolls-Royce collector purchased this car in Hong Kong in late 2022 with the car imported to the UK earlier this year. All be it in very good condition, when purchased it was then swiftly mechanically recommissioned the works carried out includes and is not limited to replacement of all six ball joints to the front (top, lower and damper), replaced caster arm bushes, all front brake calipers (two calipers on each side) serviced, seals renewed and all front brake pads have been replaced. Brake Lines have also been replaced as have the rear suspension spheres and rear damper hydraulic seals. An oil and filter change was then supplemented by new alternator and fan belts and new wiper blades. This example has since been detailed and UK registered with the V5C registration document present.The Flying Spur featured a retractable Spirit of Ecstasy, the spring-loaded mascot sank into the radiator shell, this along with the first turbo engine and a host of Mulliner Park Ward coachbuilt options makes what we believe to be a very collectable car. One of just 42 produced in right hand drive and truly unique with a mysterious but clearly wealthy previous owner, viewing is strongly advised to appreciate the luxury which Rolls-Royce are famed for.
