PER BARCLAY (Oslo, 1955). "The slaughter house", 1996. Type C photograph of the installation created. Provenance: private collection. Formerly Oliva Arauna Gallery (Inver-Kalis SA). Measurements: 205 x 165 cm. With the installation "The Slaughterhouse", Per Barclay played with the reflective effect of the blood of the cattle, making the floor shine. In the same way that in other installations he deployed symbolisms of the disturbing effects of spilled oil in uninhabited spaces, here the references are multiplied: nods to the history of art, but also to the idea of sacrifice and violence. Per Barclay is a sculptor, photographer and art historian. His art installations have been seen in museums all over the world. Per Barclay's work combines concepts of tension and drama, which he works with the influence of the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. After studying art history in Bergen, in 1979 he left Norway to find new artistic references in Italy. In Florence he studied design and photography, then moved to the Academy of Bologna in 1981 and two years later to Rome. After spending time in Naples, he moved to Turin, where he came into direct contact with the artists of Arte Povera. From then on, the artist used oil and water as pictorial elements, and steel and glass as structural materials for his pieces. In 1994 he moved to Paris, where he lives and develops his projects. His works can be found, among others, in the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, the Henie-Onstad Art Centre, in the museum of contemporary art "Kiasma" in Helsinki and in different museums in Spain (Koldo Mitxelena Kulturunea, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía), Italy and France (Centre de Création Contemporaine). He participated in the Venice Biennale in 1990, in the Lillehammer Art Museum during the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer in 1994, in the Bergen International Festival in 2001 and the Northern Norwegian Festival in 2009, and has contributed to the international project Skulpturlandskap Nordland.

Elio Marchegiani (Syracuse 1929). La Mosca, 1969. 33x33 cm. Framed 48x48. Mixed media on paper. On verso on closing support Work signed inside at no. 13 of "Registro Opere Rare"". Certificate of authenticity with title, year and signature Elio Marchegiani LA MOSCA 1969. registration details and measurements in double circle at no.13 Reg.1969. Rare Works Register and green Elio Marchegiani stamp. Framed. Provenance Atelier of the artist Important private collection Bologna Notes "In early 1969, I do not remember exactly the date, an American man was selected by other men as a "superman" to be launched, with a rocket, into otherworldly space. He was to land on the moon for the first time with a special vehicle: LEM, thus completing the program called Apollo that the Americans were living in a competition with Russia, which was also preparing to conquer the moon. It was striking multimedia display not only of the mega-structures at Cape Kennedy, but also of the supermann Yankees,, supreme beings rulers of celestial space ... until ... Schweickart sneezed inside his own space suit helmet. He had fallen ill with "flu": fever, cough, runny nose. It is communicated, just to keep up appearances, that he was suffering from space sickness. At Cape Kennedy Richard Nixon and family visit him in the hospital, while television stations publicize the visit. The superman has fallen ill like any other human being: the U.S. President consoles him (brings him oranges?). Meanwhile, the greatest technological Tower of Babel, raised by man to the sky, falters: the launch stops. The Apollo 9 (multiple of three: perfect number) involving verification of the LEM, lunar module, will have to wait. Incredible: a MICROBO is still more powerful than all the power of the first World Power. With the future Apollo 10, without testing of the LEM, it is impossible to land on the Moon: it will have to wait until July for the launch of Apollo 11. Russia smiles as a MOSCA, a ubiquitous and cosmopolitan insect, licks its paws. She is the one who has contaminated Schweickart. She is the new ecumenical creature ministering the contagion: brotherhood is only in the epidemic. So thought in 1969 and still thinks in 2009 Elio Marchegiani now in his eighties."

MONTAIGNE (Michel de). Journal du voyage en Italie, par la Suisse & l'Allemagne en 1580 & 1581. With Notes by M. de Querlon. Rome and Paris, Le Jay, 1774. 2 vol. in-12 of [4] ff, cviii-324 pp., [5] pp. (bookseller's catalog) ; [2] ff, 601 pp. Engraved frontispiece portrait of Montaigne. Rare first edition. This unpublished account was found in 1769 by Abbé Prunis in Montaigne's papers. For almost a year and a half, Montaigne travelled across Europe on horseback, accompanied by his valet, in search of thermal springs to treat his kidney problems, with Rome as his final destination. We follow him through the Alpine passes, as a pilgrim to Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, and as a spa visitor to Baden or Lucca. This diary, not intended for publication, is an excellent complement to the Essais. Ex-libris manucrit from the library of the Château de L'Isle-de-Noé, signed by the Comte de Noé, most probably Louis-Pantaléon de Noé (1728-1816), owner of a plantation and slaves in Saint-Domingue (he is said to have freed Toussaint-Louverture, with whom he maintained regular relations). Ex-libris JM. A rare and fine copy with an interesting provenance. (Tchemerzine, VIII, 443.)
