JOSEP BARTOLÍ (Barcelona, 1910-New York, 1995). "Abstract", ca. 1946. Oil on panel. Signed in the lower margin. Provenance: Estate of Irena Urdang de Tours (art dealer and Holocaust survivor). Measurements: 14 x 9,5 cm; 26,5 x 22 cm (frame). Every plot of Josep Bartolí's life could have been extracted from a gripping novel. His drawings of denunciation would echo his time in concentration camps, from whose death he ended up escaping by jumping off a train. But he also experimented with abstraction, especially while in New York and Mexico. This painting ("Abstract") was probably made in New York in 1946, the year he met Frida Kalho and they fell in love, as evidenced by the love letters they wrote to each other (25 passionate letters from Fridha are preserved). The Mexican painter was in the U.S. city recovering from spinal surgery. Later, they continued their romance in Mexico. Stylistically, "Abstraction" is close to the postulates of abstract expressionism, as the artist frequented the circle of Pollock and Rothko in those years. Painter, draftsman and set designer. A disciple of Salvador Alarma and Tastàs, he collaborated with various publications (La Humanidad, La Opinión, La Esquella de la Torratxa...) as a political cartoonist. At a very young age he began to work as a cartoonist in the press and became involved in trade unionism in Barcelona at the time. Between 1933 and 1934 he presented an exhibition of drawings in Barcelona that was very successful. He was one of the organizers of the Sindicato de Dibujantes de Cataluña and of the UGT. leader in 1936. Towards the end of the Spanish Civil War he went into exile in France. Arrested by the Gestapo, he was sent to the Dachau camp, but on the way he escaped by jumping off the train and, after a long journey, he arrived in Mexico. There he resumed his pictorial activity, came into contact with the environment of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, of whom he was a lover, and participated in the founding of the Prisse gallery. In the United States he was the first cartoonist of Hollyday magazine, standing out as one of the most sought-after cartoonists of the time, he made sets for historical films in Hollywood and was part of the 10th Street group, along with Willem de Kooning, Kline, Pollock and Rothko. In 1973 he received the Mark Rothko Award for Fine Arts.3 Among his illustrated books are Caliban (1971), The black man in America (1975) and Campos de concentración (Mexico, 1943; Madrid, Spain, 2006). This last title, based on texts by the Catalan journalist Molins i Fábrega, collects his extensive documentary series of pen drawings about his experience in the concentration camps.

VICTOR MIRA (Zaragoza, 1949 - Munich, 2003). "Still life". 1986 Oil on canvas Signed in the lower right corner. Titled and dated on the back. Certificate of authenticity issued by Esther Romero Fajardo enclosed. Measurements: 100 x 81 cm. Painter, sculptor, engraver and writer, his training was basically self-taught. When he was eighteen years old he had his first individual exhibition in the gallery N'Art in Zaragoza, which was also the first open-air sculpture exhibition held in that city. Shortly afterwards he moved to Madrid, where he exhibited in 1973 at the Pol Verdié gallery. During his years in the capital he attended the Encuentros de Pamplona, where he met John Cage. Two years later, in 1974, Ana María Canales published her book "Víctor Mira, eres mi pintor preferido" (Victor Mira, you are my favourite painter). In 1975 she travelled to Heidelberg, where she lived for five months, and that same year she published "El libro de las dos hojas". In 1976 he began to work in Germany on his series "Spanische Haltung" and "Manos". After spending some time between Madrid and Germany, in 1977 he settled in Barcelona. There he began his cycle of paintings "Interiores catalanes con tomate", and in 1979 he published his first book of poems, "El bienestar de los demonios". That same year he had his first solo exhibition in Munich, at the Tanit gallery, and the following year he showed his work in the United States, at the George Staempfli gallery in New York. From then on his international career took off, with exhibitions in Germany, the United States, Holland, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Colombia, France, Belgium and Austria, while he continued to exhibit regularly in Spain. In 1983 he travelled to the United States for the first time, invited by the Meadows Museum in Dallas, and that same year he worked in the printmaking workshops of the Southern Methodist University in Dallas and spent five months in New York. Also in 1983, in Barcelona, he produced his first series of iron sculptures, "Cultura del arco" and "Mediodías". In 1997 he was invited to participate in the Art Biennale in New York by Amy Chaiklin, and six years later, shortly before his death, he was awarded the prize for the best living Spanish artist at the ARCO Fair. The most recent retrospective exhibition devoted to this artist was held in Düsseldorf, Germany, at the Beck & Eggeling gallery. Works by Mira are held in museums and private collections all over the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the MACBA in Barcelona, the Fine Arts Museums of Vitoria and Zaragoza, the Beulas Foundation in Huesca, and the Museo Colecciones ICO in Madrid, among others.
