Olympic Games/ Summer, 1924/ Paris/ Hurdler. A superb hardwood jewelry box, the artist has carved a superb hurdler into the colored lid, near the engraved words "Olympiade de Paris 1924". Here he is on the hurdle, and it's a safe bet that Géo André (1889-1943) was the inspiration for this creation. He was the star of the French team, the flag-bearer, the champion chosen to take the oath, a double choice dictated by an extraordinary career and life: Olympic high jump vice-champion in London in 1908, decathlete, rugby international (13 times), war hero, bronze medallist at the Antwerp Games (4x400), he represented, at 34, the nobility of French sport.And in direct relation to this unique piece, Géo had failed to reach the foot of the podium (4th against 4 Americans) at the Antwerp Games in 1920, precisely in the 400m hurdles. Diameter: 9.5 cm, height: 5 cm.

ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE (New York, 1946- Boston, 1989). "Lisa Lyon," 1982. Gelatin silver, printed in 1982, mounted. Exemplar 1/10. Provenance: Sean Kelly Gallery, New York, Phillips, "SPOTLIGHT: Photographs from a Private London Collection," 2023 and Private Collection, Spain. Bibliography: R. Mapplethorpe, Lady: Lisa Lyon, New York: St. Martin's, 1983, p. 94 (variant). Signed and dated by Michael Ward Stout, executor, in ink, copyright ownership, limitation of reproduction and signature stamp on reverse of recessed mount. Measurements: 38.7 x 38.4 cm: 66 x 64 cm (frame). Lisa Lyon achieved fame as the first female world bodybuilding champion. In 1980 she met Mapplethorpe and began a great friendship that led to a prolific artistic relationship. Lyon's physique allowed the photographer to portray subjects of his interest such as androgyny, the anatomy of classical statuary or even American culture. Since 1980, Mapplethorpe began a series of portraits in which Lyon was captured under his lens in multiple ways, one of them being photography. All this work was immortalized in the book Lady: Lisa Lyon (1983). American photographer, known for her sensitive yet forceful treatment of controversial subjects in the black and white medium of photography. Her work included a variety of subjects, including celebrity portraits, male and female nudes, self-portraits, and images of dead flowers. His most controversial work is of the BDSM subculture in the late 1960s and early 1970s in New York City. The homoeroticism of this work fueled a national debate over public funding of controversial artwork. Mapplethorpe worked primarily in a studio, and almost exclusively in black and white, with the exception of some of his later work and his final exhibition "New Colors." His body of work features a wide range of subject matter, but his primary focus and the bulk of his work is erotic imagery. He would refer to some of his own work as pornographic, aiming to arouse the viewer, but which could also be considered great art.His erotic art explored a wide range of sexual themes, depicting the BDSM subculture of New York in the 1970s, depictions of black male nudes and classic nudes of female bodybuilders. Mapplethorpe was a participant observer in much of his erotic photography, participating in the sexual acts he was photographing and engaging sexually with his models. Other subjects included flowers, especially orchids and lilies, children, statues, and celebrities and other artists, such as Andy Warhol, Louise Bourgeois, Deborah Harry, Kathy Acker, Richard Gere, Peter Gabriel, Grace Jones, Amanda Lear, Laurie Anderson, Iggy Pop, Philip Glass, David Hockney, Cindy Sherman, Joan Armatrading, and Patti Smith. Smith was a roommate of Mapplethorpe's and a frequent subject of his photography, including an iconic, somber photograph that appears on the cover of Smith's first album, Horses. His work often referenced religious or classical imagery, such as a 1986 portrait of Patti Smith that recalls Albrecht Dürer's 1500 self-portrait. Between 1980 and 1983, Mapplethorpe created more than 150 photographs of bodybuilder Lisa Lyon, culminating in the photo album Lady, Lisa Lyon, published by Viking Press and featuring text by Bruce Chatwin.

ANDY WARHOL (Pittsburgh, USA,1928-New York, USA,1987). "Lana Turner," 1985. Polaroid photograph. Unique copy. Attached certificate of provenance, indicating that the work comes from "Estate of Andy Warhol", and the "Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts". Measurements: 10,8 x 8,6 cm. Lana Turner was an American actress. Throughout her nearly 50-year career, she achieved fame as a pin-up model and film actress, as well as for her highly publicized personal life. By the mid-1940s, she was one of the highest-paid actresses in the United States and one of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's (MGM) biggest stars. Turner is considered a popular culture icon of Hollywood glamour and a screen legend of classic Hollywood cinema. Andrew Warhola, commonly known as Andy Warhol, was an American visual artist, filmmaker and music producer who played a crucial role in the birth and development of pop art. Considered in his time a guru of modernity, Warhol has been one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. The son of Slovakian immigrants, he began his art studies at the Carnegie Institute of Technology between 1945 and 1949. In the latter year, already established in New York, he began his career as an advertising cartoonist for various magazines such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Seventeen and The New Yorker. At the same time he painted canvases whose subject matter was based on some element or image from the everyday environment, advertising or comics. Soon he began to exhibit in various galleries. He progressively eliminated from his works any expressionist trait until he reduced the work to a serial repetition of a popular element from mass culture, the world of consumerism or the media. This evolution reached its maximum level of depersonalization in 1962, when he began to use a mechanical silkscreen printing process as a working method, by means of which he systematically reproduced myths of contemporary society, the most representative examples of which are the series dedicated to Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Elizabeth Taylor or Mao Tse-tung, as well as his famous treatment of Campbell's soup cans, all works produced during the fruitful decade of the 1960s. This appropriationism, a constant in the works of the proponents of pop art, extended to works of art of a universal nature. By means of mass reproduction, he managed to strip the media fetishes he used of their usual referents and turn them into stereotyped icons with a merely decorative purpose. In 1963 he created the Factory, a workshop in which numerous figures from New York's underground culture gathered around him. The frivolity and extravagance that marked his way of life eventually established a coherent line between his work and his life's trajectory. He is currently represented in the most important contemporary art museums in the world, such as the MoMA, the Metropolitan and the Guggenheim in New York, the Fukoka Museum in Japan, the Kunstmuseum in Basel, the National Art Museum of the 21st century in Rome, the MUMOK in Vienna, the SMAK in Ghent and the Tate Gallery in London, as well as in the museums that bear his name in Pittsburgh and Medzilaborce (Slovakia).
