JOSÉ FRAU (Vigo, 1898 - Madrid, 1976). "Night at the port". Gouache on paper. Signed in the lower margin. Measurements: 50 x 72 cm; 80,5 x 103 cm (frame). José Frau begins his formation with Antonio de la Torre and Eugenio Hermoso, to later enter the School of Fine Arts of San Fernando, where he had José Muñoz de Degrain as a teacher. From 1917 he became known through the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts, being awarded the third medal in 1924, second in 1932 and first in 1943. He held his first individual exhibition, in the Layetanas Galleries in Barcelona, and in 1925 he was one of the participants in the exhibition of the Society of Iberian Artists, with which he also exhibited at the Jeu de Paume in Paris in 1936. Previously, Frau had also shown his work in the exhibitions of Spanish artists organized by the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburg in 1933 and 1935. From the 1940s he lived in Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Mexico, before finally returning to Spain in 1946. He is currently represented in the Novacaixa Foundation of Galicia, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Museum of Huelva, the Castrelos of Vigo and other collections, both public and private. Stylistically, he began with figurative works, evolving from 1930 to a post-impressionist style to later focus on landscapes with figures, recreated in magical and fantastic environments. In his later works he used a Fauvist chromatism with a predominance of greens, blues, earths and blacks in great contrast, showing, at the same time, a progressive stylization, with the human figure ceasing to have the prominence he had given it in his previous paintings.

YRJÖ KUKKAPURO (Finland, 1933) for Haimi. Pair of "Pressu" armchairs, design 1972. Canvas covered with polyurethane. Tubular structure in chromed steel. Measurements: 66 x 72 x 72 cm. Yrjö Kukkapuro designed the Pressu chair for Haimi in 1972. The name of the model refers to the textile material used, a highly resistant and waterproof polyurethane-coated canvas. Connoisseurs of mid-century design will be able to relate the model in bidding to Alvar Aalto's Paimio chair. Considered one of the most important figures in Scandinavian design of all time, Yrjö Kukkapuro has worked as a freelance creator and interior architect from his earliest works in 1957 to his most recent in 2007. His works are characterized by a strict control of form and extreme attention to detail, as well as a search for ergonomic forms. From 1974 to 1980 he also worked as a professor of Art and Design. His creations include the "Sirkus" office chair, the "Remmi" chair, the "Fysio" office chair (which has won numerous international awards) and the "Karuselli" armchair (1965). He has also been chief designer for companies such as Haimi, Lepokalusto and Avarte. Today Yrjö Kukkapuro continues to work and designs mainly for the company Avarte. One of his most recent works is the Element collection from 2007. Currently his works are part of collections such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London; the MoMA in New York and the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein (Germany) among others.
