• HIROSHI SUGIMOTO SEASCAPES
  HIROSHI SUGIMOTO SEASCAPES PHOTOGRAPH "MIRTOAN SEA"Hiroshi Sugimoto (b. 1948). Photograph titled "Mirtoan Sea, Sounion" from the "Seascapes" series, 1990. Silver gelatin print. Edition: 18/25. Provenance: Sonnabend Gallery, New York, New York; Christie's, New York, February 18, 2007, Lot 164; Private collection, Minnesota Note: The proceeds from hammer price will benefit the Minneapolis College of Art and Design Scholarship Fund. Lot Essay: “Every time I view the sea, I feel a calming sense of security, as if visiting my ancestral home; I embark on a voyage of seeing.” -Hiroshi Sugimoto In Mirtoan Sea, Sounion, Hiroshi Sugimoto captures the essence of the sea and his relationship with it, which make up the heart of his Seascapes series. Gentle grayscale ripples fade up to the horizon and stretch off the edges of the photograph, uninterrupted by any signs of human or animal life. It is desolate without being frightening; Sugimoto has imbued it with the security he feels in his relationship with the sea. Everything is gentle, and the photo has clear edges, almost like a window looking out over the sea. Sugimoto was born in Tokyo in 1948, and one of his earliest memories is being taken to the sea. He developed an interest in photography during childhood, photographing trains and and other local sights. He pursued other interests for several years, dabbling in painting in high school and receiving his degree in Political Science at St. Paul’s University in Tokyo. However, shortly after his graduation, he returned to photography and moved to Los Angeles to attend the Art Center College of Design. In 1974, Sugimoto moved to New York City, where he was influenced by many of the up-and-coming art movements he interacted with there, notably the minimalists. In his photographic works, Sugimoto works exclusively in black and white with a large format camera, often varying the exposure length or using intentional blurring to create his desired effect. He is known for his technical expertise with the camera, which he uses to explore his artistic preoccupation with the human presence in space and time. His works cleverly make the viewer question what they are seeing, utilizing the flattening effects of black and white photography to make dioramas and wax figures seem real, or using long exposures to blur a movie theater screen to a square of pure light. In his later career, Sugimoto has extended these preoccupations to his artistic practice outside of his photographic work, making forays into architecture and the performing arts. His work has received great acclaim; throughout his career he has received many prestigious awards and grants, including the Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 2017 he was honored by the Japanese government as a Person of Cultural Merit. In the Seascapes series, Sugimoto focuses on water and air, the two substances he describes as most “commonplace” and yet most intrinsic to life. Life, Sugimoto notes, was created out of them, and continues to require them to exist. The sea, as the place where these two things meet in isolation, is the perfect place to explore their relationship to one another and to humanity at large. In this photograph, the genius of the Seascapes series becomes clear, as Sugimoto lays clear the universality of the sea as humanity’s “ancestral home.” Devoid of any context, even color, that might indicate to the viewer which sea they are looking at, this photograph presents the sea as it has been viewed by all people in all places and times. The water and the sky stretch in all directions, unimaginably vast and yet intimate. The only point the viewer has with which to ground themself is the horizon line, hardly a real, tangible point in space. We’re adrift, held tightly only by the knowledge that this is a view, an experience, universal to all humans since the first one laid eyes upon the sea. Sight; height: 16 1/2 in x width: 21 1/2 in.

• GREEK BOEOTIAN POTTERY KANTHAROS W/
  GREEK BOEOTIAN POTTERY KANTHAROS W/ WHITE IVY MOTIFAncient Greece, Boeotia, ca. 450 to 425 BCE. A fabulous Boeotian kantharos, boasting an elegant silhouette with a cup-shaped body, a flared rim, and a pair of high-arching handles that connect base to rim, all supported by a tubular leg and a discoid foot. A lustrous black glaze with lovely areas of rainbow and silver iridescence envelops the entirety of the ancient vessel, save a slender ring of bare terracotta that adorns the periphery of the foot. The exterior of the body is additionally embellished by skillfully hand-painted fugitive white pigments that form an upper register of an ivy vine with leaves and berries, as well as a lower register of repeated, vertical S motifs, each separated by a petite circle. A true treasure and perfect conversation piece for your next symposium! Size: 7.9" Diameter x 9.3" H (20.1 cm x 23.6 cm) The Etruscans in Italy produced bucchero kantharoi in the late 7th or early 6th century BCE and the shape was later adopted by Boeotian potters. The kantharos is a cup used to hold wine, possibly for drinking or for ritual use or offerings. The kantharos was also an attribute of Dionysus (Roman Bacchus), the god of wine who is oftentimes depicted holding this type of vessel. Satyrs, bestial goat-men associated with Dionysus, and Maenads, women who joined in the revelry of Dionysian festivals, were also commonly portrayed on painted pottery holding a kantharos. Cf.

• GREEK APULIAN KANTHAROS W/ LADIES
  GREEK APULIAN KANTHAROS W/ LADIES OF FASHIONMagna Graecia, southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 340 to 320 BCE. An elegant kantharos (wine cup) boasting a pair of sweeping high handles with support struts, and thumb spurs. The flared cup's body sits upon a tall stem with a tiered foot. Each face of the exterior walls is beautifully adorned with a red-figure Lady of Fashion portrait wearing a saccos (head scarf) with pearl strands and hair pins, a drop earring, and a pearl necklace - all detailed with fugitive white and yellow-orange paint. A lustrous, black glaze envelops the interior, handles, stem, and foot. Size: 6.2" Diameter x 6.9" H (15.7 cm x 17.5 cm) A kantharos (also cantharus) is an ancient cup form used for drinking/holding wine, possibly for rituals or ceremonial offerings; its shape most likely derived from a metalwork form. This piece is an iconic example of what is known as Type A - characterized by a deep bowl, a tall pedestal foot, and a beautiful pair of highly swung handles extending far above the lip of the vessel. Scholars believe that the kantharos was also an attribute of Dionysos, the god of wine who was also associated with fertility. Hence, in addition to being used during festive banquets, such vessels may have been used in ceremonial rituals to symbolize rebirth.
