Ronald Reagan Autograph Letter Signed to His Press Secretary ALS signed “Ron,” one page, 6.5 x 8.5, personal letterhead, November 1, 1989. Handwritten letter to Nancy Clark Reynolds, his former press secretary and special assistant, in full: “Thank you for the book — I’d heard about it in Japan but never saw it there. And thank you for the Joke — I’m already a smash with it. Bless you. Now about my hair! I can’t get over it. Every place I go & almost everyone I meet — especially you gals tell me to have it short that I look much younger this way. Now that’s tempting — do I or don’t I. I must say there is an advantage in the mornings — not having anything to comb. But Nancy it’s always good to hear from you. You remain a very important & beloved part of our life. Nancy — that’s my Nancy — sends her love. So do I.” In very fine condition. Accompanied by the original hand-addressed envelope, which bears Reagan’s printed franking signature. After years of working in the media, Reynolds (1927-2022) moved to San Francisco, California, and eventually joined the staff of Governor Reagan. She worked as an assistant press secretary and then as a special assistant for Reagan. She worked for six months in 1980 on Reagan's White House transition team and, a year later, President Reagan named her the U.S. representative to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.

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.

ROBERT KEMM (Salisbury, England, 1837 - London, 1895). "The Priest's Nap. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower left corner. Size: 71 x 91 cm; 89 x 108 cm (frame). Son of the carver and gilder William Kemm, Robert Kemm's love of painting must have awakened very early, as he was only fourteen years old when he was registered in the census as an artist. During his early years Kemm produced two series of 256 watercolours of Wiltshire churches. Following his contemporaries J. Phillip, J. Bagnold Burgess and E. Long, Kemm made a trip to Spain in the years between 1955 and 1955. Long, he made a trip to Spain between 1861 and 1864, visiting Seville and Granada in particular. In the years preceding his first exhibition, Kemm devoted himself mainly to portraiture. His first exhibition at the Royal Society of British Artists took place in 1874. In this first exhibition Kemm already displayed all the typical elements of his style, with works on Spanish themes. It is worth mentioning the presentation of several works by Kemm in the exhibition "English Romantic Painters in 19th century Spain", organised in Zamora by Caja Duero in 1999, from a private Spanish collection. Robert Kemm is represented in the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, the Salisbury Museum, the Wiltshire Archaeological Society, the Sunderland Museum and the Sheffield Museum, as well as in several important private collections.
