Michel Potage (1949-2020) 4 Oil and sand on canvas (mixed technique) monogrammed and dated on back 38 x 46 cm Michel Potage is a painter through and through: he paints in the solitude of the sacred place that is his studio, having waited a long time for inspiration... and, when it comes, he becomes frenetic, relentless, virtuoso. He paints the subject to the point of exhaustion, hence his serial work: the Aborigines, the correspondence between Van Gogh and his brother Theo, the Gypsies, the mythical Trees series... In the late 1990s, Michel Potage began a cycle of writing and signage. This was accompanied by texts, giving his work an increasingly poetic dimension that draws its inspiration directly from the street.

TJAMITJINPA Ronnie (1943-2023) Tingari cycles acrylic on canvas prepared in black signed lower center 92 x 122 cm PROVENANCE: Number 1 Company Ply Ltd - African Muse Gallery - Private collection This lot is presented by Stéphane Jacob-Langevin Ronnie Tjampitjimpa (c.1940-2023) is one of the great names in Aboriginal desert painting. Originally from Kintore, west of Papunya in the central desert, he has been painting since 1971, in other words, since the beginnings of "contemporary" Aboriginal painting, when under the impetus of Geoffrey Bardon - an art teacher based in the region - Aborigines began to reproduce on their school walls, then on plywood sheets and finally on canvas, the paintings they had previously produced for ritual purposes. Ronnie draws his inspiration from the myths associated with the Tingari Men, the great ancestors of the Dreamtime that the Pintupi still celebrate today. These mythical men roamed the Australian territory accompanied by their wives and young apprentices. They would initiate them as they went along. The initiations took place at sites they created, which still exist today: it is here that the Aborigines commemorate their memory during ceremonies in which they paint motifs on the ground evoking the Dreamtime. More often than not - and this is the case here - the works inspired by the Tingari ancestors retrace in stylized form the paths they once followed in the desert. Highly geometric in inspiration, these "tracks" often have the appearance of more or less complex labyrinths that structure the clan territories of central desert communities. They are depicted as if seen from the sky, but there is no particular way of reading such canvases: neither right nor left, neither up nor down. Collections:- Musée du Quai Branly, Paris- Aboriginal Art Museum, Utrecht, Holland- National Gallery of Australia, Canberra - National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne - Museum & Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Darwin - Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth, etc.

An Aboriginal Bark Painting Aboriginal Australians, Australia Ohne Sockel / without base Tree bark. H 111 cm. Provenance: Gérald Minkoff (1937-2009) and Muriel Olesen (1948-2020), Geneva. -------------------------------------------- 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.
