PIERRE ALECHINSKY (Brussels, 1927). "Iran & Caspian Sea", 1980-1990. Acrylic on paper adhered to canvas. Signed, dated and titled on the back. Signed on stretcher frame. Attached certificate issued and signed by the artist. Measurements: 108 x 146 cm; 124 x 162 cm (frame). Using as a base a geographical map centered on the area of Iran and the Caspian Sea, Alechinsky unfolds his imaginary and intervenes in it in a simplified way, delimiting certain zones and figuratively "flooding" others. This work belongs to his "marginal observations" series, small vignettes in the margins of the painting that will become a cardinal feature of his production. The series can be understood by taking into account that it comes from a vocabulary related to printing. "Engravers who had to draw with burin or drypoint on a copper plate tested their tool on the margin of the plate; by letting themselves go, they often sketched a small image. For my part, this sometimes explains what is at the center of the work, other times it accompanies it, it takes on more importance...", explains the artist himself. He continues, "The artist is not aware of it at the time, but by framing the central figure with other smaller drawings, he establishes an authentic pictorial device that assumes the limit of the painting and protects it, attracts our gaze and retains it". A lithographer, painter and theorist, Pierre Alechinsky trained at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture et des Arts Décoratifs de la Cambre in Brussels, showing both gifts and interest in illustration and typography. In 1945 he discovered the work of Michaux, Dubuffet and the surrealists, at which time he also became friends with the art critic Jacques Putman. He began painting in 1947, beginning a career that would mix certain characteristics of Expressionism with others of Surrealism, both accompanied by a very personal style. In the late 1940s he met the poet Christian Dotremont, one of the founding members of the CoBrA group (an acronym for Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam), and Alechinsky joined the group in 1949. Along with Alechinsky, the group included Karel Appel, Christian Dotremont and Asger Jorn, among others. He also participated in the group's first international exhibition in Amsterdam and collaborated on canvases with Karel Appel and other members. After the dissolution of CoBrA, Alechinsky moved to Paris, where he experimented with printmaking at the popular Atelier 17. There he met Giacometti, Bram van Velde and Victor Brauner. In 1954 he had his first solo exhibition at the Nina Dausset Gallery in Paris, where he was able to meet the painter Walasse Ting, who was to exert an important influence on him. In 1956 he made "Central Park", an acrylic painting that included "marginal observations", leitmotif in much of his production. The first retrospective of his work took place in 1969, at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. In 1966, André Breton chose this piece for the international exhibition of the surrealist movement. His work has been exhibited in Amsterdam, London, the Venice Biennale, New York, etc., and is kept in important private collections and institutions such as the Marion Lefebre Collection in Los Angeles, the Galerie Leolong in Paris, the Museo Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the MoMA, etc.

4.- Description of the products and services
www.setdart.com is an online auction whose purpose is to sell art, antiques, collectibles and other artistic goods of a similar nature that are entrusted to it for this purpose.
Setdart Subastas and its fiscal figure Setdart Online SL act as mediators between the owner and the buyer of each lot.
To be able to bid on Setdart, it is necessary to register as a user, after reading these Conditions and the Privacy Policy. Enter the link on the Home page "Register as a user" and correctly fill in the boxes with your data. The form will ask you to enter a "user code" and a "password".

Your personal data must be authentic and correct since, in the event of any falsehood or manipulation, Setdart will cancel the registered client. Once the correct form has been sent, Setdart will accept you as a user and will send you the approval, via email, so that you can act as a bidder. Registering as a user entitles you to receive the Newsletter that Setdart sends weekly to its users, via email, with the most outstanding news.
Once your user registration has been approved by Setdart, you can operate on the page as a bidder.
When bidding Setdart presents you with several alternatives. The first is to bid directly for the next amount the auction goes for; When entering the lot, mark the quantity you want to bid on. When accepting the bid, a proforma appears on the screen with the total amount that would be paid if the lot is awarded, including the commission and VAT on the commission. Only when you accept this proforma, will your bid enter the lot. Remember that to place a bid you must always be logged in as a user. You can also make the EXPRESS BID, in which you will bid directly for the higher amount without opening the information window.
Another option is SELF-BID: You have the possibility to bid for a higher amount, using the drop-down. In the latter case, the AutoBid system will be activated. The AutoBid is an automatic bidding system in which the system itself will enter your bid, revealing the immediately subsequent bid and will in turn save the highest bid you have made. This will not enter the auction unless another user exceeds it. Ultimately, the SELF-BID will allow you to record your maximum amount that will only be activated in the event that you are exceeded or that the piece has not reached its reserve price.

When accepting the bid, a proforma appears on the screen with the total amount that would be paid if the lot is awarded, including the commission and VAT on the commission. Only when you accept this proforma, will your bid enter the lot. Remember that to place a bid you must always be logged in as a user.
The lots presented at auction have a Reserve Price, that is, a confidential minimum price agreed between the consignor or transferor-seller and Setdart. If at the end of the auction the last bid does not reach this reserve price, the lot is not awarded and therefore it is not sold. Before the auction ends, the transferor-seller can modify the reserve price downwards in order to accept or move closer to the last existing offer at that time. Therefore, the agreed reserve price may be downward with the consent of the consignee.
Each lot is marked with a Low Estimate and a High Estimate, which represents the opinion of Setdart's experts about the range at which a lot is likely to sell at auction. Estimates are based on examining the lot or item and comparing market prices for comparable works. These estimates provide buyers with a prior indication of value and are generally a basis for setting the reserve price. The buyer can be sure that if he meets or exceeds the low estimate, he has reached the minimum price or reserve of the lot but this does not mean that the reserve price is equal to the low estimate as the reserve price may be lower.
In Setdart there are also lots at Free Price, this means that there is no reserve price and, therefore, they are sold whenever there is a bid, whatever its value.
It is strictly forbidden for any transferor / seller to make, personally or through third parties, bids on their own lots with the aim of increasing the award values of the lots and not with the intention of buying. In the event that such an action is detected, Setdart reserves the right to immediately cancel the user accounts used for this purpose, and to withdraw the auction lots from the transferor seller.
In the event that a lot has not reached the reserve price, before the auction time ends, Setdart's bidding system indicates in the bid history "Reserve Price Not Reached" and the auction time automatically increases. 3 minutes so that potential buyers can continue bidding if they want to win that lot. Only in this case, the system will admit that the same bidder exceeds his last offer in order to reach the reserve price and win the lot. Once the duration of the auction is over, when the timer indicates "This auction has ended", the user will be able to see if the lot has not reached the reserve price and, therefore, the lot has not been awarded, or if On the contrary, the lot has been awarded and sold.
If you are the winner of a lot, you will receive an e-mail informing you of the award once the day's auctions are over. During the next day you will receive the budget for your settlement. The settlement period is seven working days.

Once the lot has been awarded, a quote will be sent to you indicating the auction price and additional costs. An 24% commission is added to the auction price of the piece. This commission is subject to VAT, and therefore, the corresponding VAT of 21% must be added. If you need transportation, it will also be budgeted depending on the nature of the lot and the destination. Transportation costs are also subject to VAT.
Delivery times:
Once the lot has been settled, Setdart will proceed to carry out the arrangements for packaging and transporting the piece. Note that all the pieces that have more than 100 years are required of an export permit from the Spanish Ministry of Culture. If the lot goes outside the EU, there will be a cost for such certificate. Kindly note you can check all this information in the Spanish Miistry of Culture website. This period may vary depending on the availability of the part in our facilities, if it must be collected at the place of deposit or if the part requires special packaging or adjustments. If the client requests a grouping of lots to lower transport costs, we will wait to receive the last lot to make the shipment, although the payment deadlines will have to be met.
1. Pick up at the Setdart facilities:
You can collect your lots yourself at our facilities in Barcelona, once you have been informed by email that the lots are available.

Additional insurance:
If you wish to take out additional insurance to cover the total amount of the lot, you can contact us and we will carry out the management with an insurance company specialized in objects of art and / or jewelry.
Prices:
In Setdart we have preferred to adopt the auction system with Estimate and Reserve Price since it seems to us a more flexible system and that allows a greater rapprochement and understanding between Offer and Demand.
As already indicated in the Conditions of sale, most pieces at auction have a reserve price, that is, a confidential minimum price agreed between the transferor-seller and Setdart.com. If at the end of the auction the last bid does not reach this reserve price, the lot is not awarded and therefore it is not sold. Before the auction ends, the transferor-seller can modify the reserve price downwards in order to accept or move closer to the last existing offer at that time. Thus, the agreed reserve price is movable downward. In Setdart there are also lots at Free Price, this means that there is no reserve price and, therefore, they are sold whenever there is a bid, whatever its value.
Each lot is marked with a low estimate and a high estimate, which represents the opinion of Setdart's experts about the range at which a lot may be sold at auction. Estimates are based on examining the lot or item and comparing market prices for comparable works. These estimates provide buyers with a prior indication of value and are generally a basis for setting the reserve price. The buyer can be sure that if he meets or exceeds the low estimate, he has reached the minimum price or reserve of the lot but this does not mean that the reserve price is equal to the low estimate as the reserve price may be lower.
During the last hour of the auction process for each lot, Setdart's bidding system indicates in the bid history if the last offer has not reached the reserve price set with the acronym NAPR (Not Reached Reserve Price), inviting the Bidders to continue bidding if they wish to win that lot. Only in this case, the system will admit that the same bidder exceeds his last offer in order to reach the reserve price and win the lot. Once the duration of the auction is over, when the timer indicates "This auction has ended", it will be immediately informed whether or not the lot has been awarded.
Payment Methods:
To settle your lots, you can pay by credit / debit card through our website. Banco Sabadell offers you the Virtual POS, an online payment gateway that allows you to pay your batches with a card, through the internet, in an easy and, above all, safe way.

4.- Description of the products and services
www.setdart.com is an online auction whose purpose is to sell art, antiques, collectibles and other artistic goods of a similar nature that are entrusted to it for this purpose.
Setdart Subastas and its fiscal figure Setdart Online SL act as mediators between the owner and the buyer of each lot.
To be able to bid on Setdart, it is necessary to register as a user, after reading these Conditions and the Privacy Policy. Enter the link on the Home page "Register as a user" and correctly fill in the boxes with your data. The form will ask you to enter a "user code" and a "password". This guarantees the privacy and authenticity of the bids, since when you make an offer, your user code will be visible in the bid history and not your name and surname, and the bid will not enter unless you enter the correct password.
Your personal data must be authentic and correct since, in the event of any falsehood or manipulation, Setdart will cancel the registered client. Once the correct form has been sent, Setdart will accept you as a user and will send you the approval, via email, so that you can act as a bidder. Registering as a user entitles you to receive the Newsletter that Setdart sends weekly to its users, via email, with the most outstanding news.
Once your user registration has been approved by Setdart, you can operate on the page as a bidder.
When bidding Setdart presents you with several alternatives. The first is to bid directly for the next amount the auction goes for; When entering the lot, mark the quantity you want to bid on. When accepting the bid, a proforma appears on the screen with the total amount that would be paid if the lot is awarded, including the commission and VAT on the commission. Only when you accept this proforma, will your bid enter the lot. Remember that to place a bid you must always be logged in as a user. You can also make the EXPRESS BID, in which you will bid directly for the higher amount without opening the information window.
Another option is SELF-BID: You have the possibility to bid for a higher amount, using the drop-down. In the latter case, the AutoBid system will be activated. The AutoBid is an automatic bidding system in which the system itself will enter your bid, revealing the immediately subsequent bid and will in turn save the highest bid you have made. This will not enter the auction unless another user exceeds it. Ultimately, the SELF-BID will allow you to record your maximum amount that will only be activated in the event that you are exceeded or that the piece has not reached its reserve price.
When entering the lot, mark the quantity you want to bid on. When accepting the bid, a proforma appears on the screen with the total amount that would be paid if the lot is awarded, including the commission and VAT on the commission. Only when you accept this proforma, will your bid enter the lot. Remember that to place a bid you must always be logged in as a user.
The lots presented at auction have a Reserve Price, that is, a confidential minimum price agreed between the consignor or transferor-seller and Setdart. If at the end of the auction the last bid does not reach this reserve price, the lot is not awarded and therefore it is not sold. Before the auction ends, the transferor-seller can modify the reserve price downwards in order to accept or move closer to the last existing offer at that time. Therefore, the agreed reserve price may be downward with the consent of the consignee.
Each lot is marked with a Low Estimate and a High Estimate, which represents the opinion of Setdart's experts about the range at which a lot is likely to sell at auction. Estimates are based on examining the lot or item and comparing market prices for comparable works. These estimates provide buyers with a prior indication of value and are generally a basis for setting the reserve price. The buyer can be sure that if he meets or exceeds the low estimate, he has reached the minimum price or reserve of the lot but this does not mean that the reserve price is equal to the low estimate as the reserve price may be lower.
In Setdart there are also lots at Free Price, this means that there is no reserve price and, therefore, they are sold whenever there is a bid, whatever its value.
It is strictly forbidden for any transferor / seller to make, personally or through third parties, bids on their own lots with the aim of increasing the award values of the lots and not with the intention of buying. In the event that such an action is detected, Setdart reserves the right to immediately cancel the user accounts used for this purpose, and to withdraw the auction lots from the transferor seller.
In the event that a lot has not reached the reserve price, before the auction time ends, Setdart's bidding system indicates in the bid history "Reserve Price Not Reached" and the auction time automatically increases. 3 minutes so that potential buyers can continue bidding if they want to win that lot. Only in this case, the system will admit that the same bidder exceeds his last offer in order to reach the reserve price and win the lot. Once the duration of the auction is over, when the timer indicates "This auction has ended", the user will be able to see if the lot has not reached the reserve price and, therefore, the lot has not been awarded, or if On the contrary, the lot has been awarded and sold.
If you are the winner of a lot, you will receive an e-mail informing you of the award once the day's auctions are over. During the next day you will receive the budget for your settlement. The settlement period is seven working days.
As a customer, from the "My Data" section on the web, you can change your data, as well as the user code and password, to access the bidding process and from the "My Setdart" section you can consult all the information updated regarding your bids, purchases, sales or payments.

The parties involved, seller-depositor and buyer, must comply with the provisions of the Heritage Law, the General Tax Law and the Intellectual Property Law.
Indirect taxation on purchases from individuals.
Acquisitions made to individuals at auction, is an operation subject to the Tax on Patrimonial Transmissions, a tax assigned to the Autonomous Communities so it will have to be in accordance with their particular regulations, being the taxpayer the purchaser, who must carry out the self-assessment the fee resulting from applying the tax rate in force on the date of the acquisition, in the Autonomous Community where it has its fiscal domicile, using the form provided for this purpose, normally the 600 form.
The operations in which Setdart Auctions intervenes are subject to the provisions of Spanish Law and, more specifically, to the stipulations that regulate mediation and deposit contracts.
Once the lot has been awarded, a quote will be sent to you indicating the auction price and additional costs. An 24% commission is added to the auction price of the piece. This commission is subject to VAT, and therefore, the corresponding VAT of 21% must be added. If you need transportation, it will also be budgeted depending on the nature of the lot and the destination. Transportation costs are also subject to VAT.
Delivery times:
Once the lot has been settled, Setdart will proceed to carry out the arrangements for packaging and transporting the piece. Note that all the pieces that have more than 100 years are required of an export permit from the Spanish Ministry of Culture. If the lot goes outside the EU, there will be a cost for such certificate. Kindly note you can check all this information in the Spanish Miistry of Culture website. This period may vary depending on the availability of the part in our facilities, if it must be collected at the place of deposit or if the part requires special packaging or adjustments. If the client requests a grouping of lots to lower transport costs, we will wait to receive the last lot to make the shipment, although the payment deadlines will have to be met.
1. Pick up at the Setdart facilities:
You can collect your lots yourself at our facilities in Barcelona, once you have been informed by email that the lots are available. In the event that you are not the one who collects the awarded lot or lots, you must give an authorization to the person who is going to do it by means of an authorization document or via e-mail.
2. Shipments via MRW:
Setdart.com usually works with MRW as a transport and courier service. Setdart sends you an e-mail indicating that your shipment is ready. The collections are normally made at 18:30 in the afternoon, except in cases of urgent shipments. Shipping through MRW is usually received within 24-48 hours.

If you wish to receive the piece at a different address than the one you have specified as a user, you must indicate it in the "alternative shipping address" in your USER REGISTRATION or send it by mail to [email protected].
3. Collection of lots by your private carrier:

So, if you want to hire your own transport or collect the lot in person, it is necessary that you inform us as soon as possible so that we can send you the settlement estimate without this charge.

Additional insurance:
If you wish to take out additional insurance to cover the total amount of the lot, you can contact us and we will carry out the management with an insurance company specialized in objects of art and / or jewelry.
Prices:
In Setdart we have preferred to adopt the auction system with Estimate and Reserve Price since it seems to us a more flexible system and that allows a greater rapprochement and understanding between Offer and Demand.
As already indicated in the Conditions of sale, most pieces at auction have a reserve price, that is, a confidential minimum price agreed between the transferor-seller and Setdart.com. If at the end of the auction the last bid does not reach this reserve price, the lot is not awarded and therefore it is not sold. Before the auction ends, the transferor-seller can modify the reserve price downwards in order to accept or move closer to the last existing offer at that time. Thus, the agreed reserve price is movable downward. In Setdart there are also lots at Free Price, this means that there is no reserve price and, therefore, they are sold whenever there is a bid, whatever its value.
Each lot is marked with a low estimate and a high estimate, which represents the opinion of Setdart's experts about the range at which a lot may be sold at auction. Estimates are based on examining the lot or item and comparing market prices for comparable works. These estimates provide buyers with a prior indication of value and are generally a basis for setting the reserve price. The buyer can be sure that if he meets or exceeds the low estimate, he has reached the minimum price or reserve of the lot but this does not mean that the reserve price is equal to the low estimate as the reserve price may be lower.
During the last hour of the auction process for each lot, Setdart's bidding system indicates in the bid history if the last offer has not reached the reserve price set with the acronym NAPR (Not Reached Reserve Price), inviting the Bidders to continue bidding if they wish to win that lot. Only in this case, the system will admit that the same bidder exceeds his last offer in order to reach the reserve price and win the lot. Once the duration of the auction is over, when the timer indicates "This auction has ended", it will be immediately informed whether or not the lot has been awarded.
Payment Methods:
To settle your lots, you can pay by credit / debit card through our website. Banco Sabadell offers you the Virtual POS, an online payment gateway that allows you to pay your batches with a card, through the internet, in an easy and, above all, safe way.
