Headdress, "ere egungun olode" Yoruba, Nigeria Ohne Sockel / without base Wood, textile. H 25 cm. Provenance: Gérald Minkoff (1937-2009) and Muriel Olesen (1948-2020), Geneva. Mask of the egungun covenant, which regulated relations between the ancestors and the living. The Egungun Bund ensures that the ancestors are honoured with prayers, sacrifices and the organization of festivals with mask performances. The Egungun masks used vary from place to place; the one offered here shows a hunter with his typical side braid hairstyle. The ancestors are among the most important forces influencing the human world of the Yoruba. The goal of human existence does not lie in a happy afterlife, but in a life on earth in a vital community that grows larger and stronger with each generation. The ancestors want their life force to return to the community through newborn children. They embody the only cosmic forces that have a strong interest in the prosperity and well-being of the community. They warn its living members through dreams or the oracle when the community is in danger. In the form of egungun masks, they come to the town every year to cleanse the community of criminals and witches. The oversized tuft of hair depicted on these masks is considered a symbol of the hunters. The dancers wore the masks on their heads and the costume was attached to the wooden sculpture. The dress consisted of a multitude of patchwork-like layers of fabric in different colors and patterns, which spread out impressively when the dancer turned quickly.

Zurich: Museum Rietberg. -------------------------------------------- Gérald Minkoff and Muriel Olesen Muriel Minkoff-Olesen (1948- 2020) completed her training at the School of Design in Geneva. Gérald Minkoff (1937-2009) was a trained anthropologist and biologist. Both achieved fame as artists, and from their meeting in 1967, the emblematic couple of contemporary art became inseparable. The travel-loving Olesen-Minkoff duo explored life like curious nomads, roaming the globe from Africa to Asia, Oceania, America and Patagonia. As artists and experienced collectors of contemporary art, they understandably had a keen sensitivity to the aesthetics and concepts of non-European art. The couple's Geneva apartment, perhaps their most beautiful joint work, thus became a place where the works of close friends such as Daniel Spoerri, Arman and Man Ray, as well as their own photographs, lived together with almost a thousand objects from Africa, Oceania, Asia and South America.

RAMÓN CALSINA BARÓ (Barcelona, 1901 - 1992). "The living sculpture". Pencil on paper. Signed in the lower left corner. Measurements: 31 x 38 cm; 53 x 60 cm (frame). After initiating his formation in the Baixas Academy of Barcelona, Calsina enters in 1920 in the School of La Lonja, where he was a disciple of Feliu Mestres. He made his individual debut in 1930 at the Sala Parés, and the following year he exhibited his works in Paris. Of special importance were the anthologies he held in Barcelona in 1957 and 1966. His style, close to magical realism, is precise and stylized, often ironic and full of unusual or fantastic details. It also reveals certain influences of Goya, Daumier and Hogarth. As a draughtsman he made illustrations, posters and stained glass windows. He designed the costumes and scenery for the play "El casament de la Xela", by Xavier Berenguel (1938). Between 1931 and 1933 he collaborated with the German magazine "Der Querschnitt". He also illustrated novels, such as "Don Quixote" and the works of Edgar Allan Poe. In 1964 he won the Ynglada-Guillot international drawing prize, and in 1990 he was awarded the Cross of Sant Jordi. In 1984 a large group of poets, writers, artists and intellectuals made a social appeal for the recognition of Calsina, as a result of which the Caja de Ahorros de Barcelona, with the collaboration of the Generalitat de Catalunya, dedicated an anthological exhibition to him. In 1990 another one was held at the Centro Conde Duque in Madrid, with the collaboration of the City Council. He is represented in several Spanish museums, as well as in important private collections. In 2009 the Ramón Calsina Foundation was created, promoted by his heirs.

A FINE GILT WOOD FIGURE OF AMIDA NYORAI A FINE GILT WOOD FIGURE OF AMIDA NYORAI Japan, 19th century Amida standing on a lotus dais raised on an elaborately tiered pedestal. Wearing a loose-fitting monastic robe draped over both shoulders, opening at the chest and cascading in voluminous folds. His hands held in raigou-in mudra, welcoming the dead into his Pure Land. His serene face with heavy-lidded downcast eyes below gently arched eyebrows centered by a glass byakugo (urna), a broad nose, full lips, and a thinly painted mustache. His hair arranged in tight curls over the domed ushnisha. The kohai (aureole) behind him with swirling clouds and a central lotus blossom. HEIGHT 74 cm Condition: Good condition with minor wear, few age cracks, minor old repairs, light surface scratches here and there, and the kohai with few minor chips and a small loss. Provenance: From a Danish private collection, acquired at Bruun Rasmussen on 12 February 2024, lot 2407. The sculpture represents Amitabha, known in Japanese as Amida Nyorai, or the Buddha of Limitless Light. Amitabha reigns over the Western Pure Land, a paradise to which anyone is welcomed if they faithfully and sincerely incant his name. This place of salvation became central to the Jodo [lit. Pure Land] sect of Buddhism. Propounded in 1175 by the monk Honen, the accessibility of such tenets of redemption allowed this form of Buddhism to proliferate across the nation and feudal classes of Japan. Often depicted with an elaborate mandala, the boat-shaped halo is said to remind his followers that he serves as a guide for them to cross the ocean of suffering which contaminates the living.
