JOSE MARIA SICILIA (Madrid, 1954). "Maguelone I", 2005. Watercolor on Japan paper. Presents label of Estarte Gallery, Madrid. Work exhibited in; "Magelone: Broto, Sicilia, Valente", Estiarte Gallery, Madrid 2006. Signed and titled in the lower left area. Measurements: 51 x 50 cm; 70 x 70 cm (frame). Light and darkness, chaos and cosmos, order and chance, are the obverse and reverse of the vital and artistic philosophy of José María Sicilia. In this large format composition, cosmic latency and mystical light are suggested by the use of wax (which Sicilia always understood in its plastic symbolism of trace, poetry, transience and memory) on a dark background like the night sky. Sicilia began her studies at the School of Fine Arts in Madrid, although in 1980 she abandoned them and moved to live in Paris. Two years later he presented his first solo exhibition, in a style in line with the neo-expressionism then fashionable in Europe. Subsequently, it was the various objects of the everyday world that became the protagonists of his works. Vacuum cleaners, irons, scissors, buckets, etc., will be the center of a new language in which Sicilia will grant a greater and progressive importance to the treatment of textures. His work is organized in series on still lifes, landscapes and, the best known, on the Bastille and Aligre neighborhoods, where he himself lives and works. It was in the mid-eighties when his work reached a great national and international projection. In 1986 he presented at the Blum Helman Gallery in New York a group of works that showed a strong purification of the previous style, towards an abstract painting in which he progressively eliminated any formal reference. This new style is reflected in the series "Tulips" and "Flowers". In the nineties this reductionist aesthetic will affect the chromatic range, leaving the forms suggested by the reflection of light on the surface. A new material treatment of subtle poetic resonance, based on waxes that let floral themes slightly transparent, brings color back to an already fully consecrated work. José María Sicilia has been awarded the National Prize of Plastic Arts (1989), and is represented in the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, the MOMA and the Guggenheim in New York and the CAPC in Bordeaux, among many other centers.

2 bottles of Vega Sicilia 2014, "Valbuena" 5º Año, Ribera del Duero. Spain. Red wine. 75 cl. Preserves original wooden box. Level: A. Parker Points: 96/100. See images to check the condition of the label. The Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5º Año is a lighter wine than the Único, a blend of Tempranillo and Malbec, matured for five years. Vega Sicilia is undoubtedly a unique wine and one of the great Spanish classics. Its personality derives not only from the maximum quality of the grapes and the rigour of its manufacture, but above all from the love of detail that the Álvarez family has managed to transfer to its wines. The images of each lot are the actual images of the object and therefore form part of the cataloguing. Thus, the buyer accepts that the condition of the wines is shown in the images and/or in the cataloguing, and that the content and fragility of the cork and the seal are not the responsibility of Setdart Auctions.
