Fritz Behn, Black Panther Design from the creative period after the 2nd World War. The bozzetto for this sculpture was given to the Heinz Mocnik foundry by the artist's family for casting and was made in the same year by the foundry manager as a gift for his wife and placed in the private driveway of his house in Salzburg, Behn was dismissed from his post at the Vienna Art Academy after the Second World War due to his prominent position under National Socialism. The now more precarious financial situation forced Behn to cast his designs in plaster or cement rather than bronze, as was the case with this sculpture, a stylistically typical, minimally abstracted work with a smooth surface design and dynamic lines, still without the cubist influences of his late creative phase. World War II, rectangular plinth, tiny traces of weathering and dots of verdigris, a small abrasion on the edge of the plinth, dimensions L 143 cm, W 31 cm, H 44 cm.

Apple iPhone 4 (4th Generation, Sealed - 8GB) Black Version Unopened original black Apple iPhone 4, Part No. MD128C/A (8GB), Serial No. DX6KF3T0DP0N. The front of the box shows an image of the device’s front screen and upper left shoulder, and the back features the device’s specifications. In brand new, factory-sealed condition, with some light dampstaining to box bottom, tiny scuffs and holes to plastic, and a couple of dinged corners. The successor to the third generation iPhone 3GS, the Apple iPhone 4 was unveiled on June 7, 2010, at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, and released internationally on June 24th. The iPhone 4 featured a major design overhaul, introducing a sleek and modern look with a glass front and back and a stainless steel frame that doubled as an antenna. Touted by Steve Jobs as being the thinnest smartphone in the world, the 4 featured the game-changing ‘Retina Display,’ a high-resolution screen that offered a pixel density so high that individual pixels were hard to distinguish. The iPhone 4 had one of the longest lifespans of any iPhone ever produced, spanning close to four years. Per Jobs: ‘This is beyond the doubt, the most precise thing, and one of the most beautiful we've ever made. Glass on the front and back, and steel around the sides. It's like a beautiful old Leica camera.’
