Wysyp prac Mojżesza Kislinga. Na samej górze pokazuję jego olej Mariane, oniryczny portret francuskiej dziewczyny, praca z pominiętej aukcji październikowej, jaki najbardziej cenię pośród tych nowych z nadchodzących aukcji. Warto zauważyć, że w przypadku prac Kislinga, podawane są często informacje o potwierdzeniu autentyczności, zazwyczaj przez syna artysty. Czyżby pojawiało się wiele udanych falsyfikatów prac tego malarza? A może to forma komercji? Drugi z portretów (poniżej), tej przechodzący ostatnio z rak do rąk, jest zimny w oglądaniu. Akt, jeszcze niżej, moim zdaniem chyba niepotrzebnie powstał. Pragnę zwrócić uwagę na umiarkowane ceny estymacyjne, w porównaniu do cen polskich, bo właśnie Desa-Unicum oraz Polswiss Art wystawiły kilka prac Kislinga na swoje aukcje, do miliona złotych. Namawiam do kupownia we Francji, jest dużo taniej, większy wybór, ciągła podaż, a poza tym proweniencja z Sotheby’s czy z Christie’s jest chyba lepsza. Nie rozumiem tych leniwych, tłustych polskich kotów.

Judyta (Jehudith) Sobel (1924 – 2012)

**Judyta (Jehudith) Sobel.** *Still life with flowers in a vase*, 1964

Lot 178. SOBEL, Jehudith (Polish, American 1924 – 2012). (Still life with flowers in a vase), 1964. Oil on canvas, signed and dated ‘J. Sobel 64’ (lower right); framed. A few spots of surface grime, an unobtrusive bulge on the upper right (probably original condition), else in very good condition.

Notes: The art of Jewish artist Jehudith Sobel shows influence of such art movements as postimpressionism and constructivism, and of such artists as Matisse, Malevich, and Braque. Taking these influences as a point of departure, Sobel arrived at her own artistic style, just around the time the work offered here was painted.
Dimensions: Image size 76 x 61 cm., frame size 95 x 79.5 cm.
Artist Name: SOBEL, Jehudith (Polish, American 1924 – 2012).

Estimate: €2,500 – €3,500. Adams Amsterdam. 12/14/20

Oceniam te dwie prace za jedne z lepszych tej artystki jakie widziałem (zwłaszcza martwa natura). Zainfekowanie rynku (amerykańskiego) jej fasyfikatami jest obecnie ogromne bo została stosunkowo niedawno spopularyzowana w Polsce.

Notes: The art of Jewish artist Jehudith Sobel shows influence of such art movements as postimpressionism and constructivism, and of such artists as Matisse, Malevich, and Braque. Taking these influences as a point of departure, Sobel arrived at her own artistic style, just around the time the work offered here was painted.

Władysław Strzemiński (1893 – 1952)

**Władysław Strzemiński.** *Moving shapes*

Czy ten rysunek Strzemińskiego, mający proweniencję Galerii Gmurzyńskiej, rozpali czy ostudzi kolekcjonerów? Przyznam, że gdy mowa o tym aryście to widzę Katarzynę Kobro i jej przy nim zmarnowane życie.

Lot 183.STRZEMIŃSKI, Władysław (Polish 1893 – 1952). (Moving shapes), c. 1940s. Ink on paper, signed in pencil ‘W. Strz’ (lower left); framed under passe-partout behind glass. Unexamined out of the frame, corners very slightly bumped, some light handling creases, else apparently in excellent condition.

Notes: “Wladyslaw Strzeminski, the pioneer and the main representative of the Constructivist movement in Poland was a painter, theoretician and organizer of artistic life. He was an artist who made a highly original, and major contribution to twentieth century art. His work is an essential element and of enduring value in the panorama of the world avant-garde. […] During the war he produced a few other cycles of drawings, such as: Deportations, War Against Homes, Faces, Cheap as Mud, Hands which are not with us, and a series To My Friends the Jews, consisting of collages. The drawings of these cycles were based on the use of contour motifs, partly repeated and interlaced (with the patterns produced on tracing paper), which built the representation of the Drama of the time” (Jedlinski, Jaromir. To Construct Seeing. In: Władysław Strzemiński, 1893-1952: on the 100th anniversary of his birth. Łódź, Muzeum Sztuki, 1994). In the drawing offered here we see contours of a small human figure next to a large dissolving shape on the right. With several sharp lines Władysław Strzemiński draws what seems to resemble a tiny human shrunk under the threat of two enormous army boots – the suffocating feeling of dread brought by World War II.
Provenance: Private collection; Galerie Gmurzynska + Bargera, Cologne, 1972
Dimensions: Paper size 24.5 x 34 cm., frame size 46 x 54 cm.
Artist Name: STRZEMIŃSKI, Władysław (Polish 1893 – 1952).
Exhibited: ‘Konstruktivismus: Entwicklungen und Tendenzen seit 1913’, Galerie Gmurzynska + Bargera, Cologne, 1972

Estimate: €10,000 – €15,000. Adams Amsterdam. 12/14/20. (201400019)
