Sam Josefowitz was a Lithuanian immigrant to the United States who, along with his brother David, founded the Concert Hall Society, a mail-order club based in New York that sold classical music records. The brothers ran the company for about ten years before selling to Crowell-Collier Publishing. Josefowitz amassed an art collection known for its diversity, ranging from antiquities to modern masterworks. However, some commentators noticed how he had a special admiration for the painters of Pont-Aven, which included Paul Gauguin, Aristide Maillol, and F\u00e9lix Vallotton. However, none of these artists were responsible for the top seller that day. That distinction belongs to the Dutch artist Kees van Dongen and his 1918 painting <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La Qui\u00e9tude<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Van Dongen is often associated with the Fauvists, and one can see why, given his wild and bright color palette. The painting mainly shows two nude women, one completely red, the other entirely blue, lying against a gray background. There\u2019s also a pair of birds, one red and the other blue, observing in the upper left, while a dog and a blue monkey occupy the lower right. Christie\u2019s specialists describe the work as a modernist take on the Orientalist themes of previous generations of painters. The work was only one of two featured in the sale given a \u00a33M to \u00a35M estimate range; the other one being the lot immediately preceding it, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/media.mutualart.com\/Images\/\/2023_09\/18\/15\/153919568\/felix-vallotton-cinq-heures-ZEIDG.Jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cinq Heures<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by F\u00e9lix Vallotton. However, while the Vallotton exactly hit its low estimate, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La Qui\u00e9tude<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> exceeded its estimate range and achieved \u00a39.1M \/ $11M (or \u00a310.8M \/ $13.1M w\/p). With that hammer Price, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La Qui\u00e9tude<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is now the second most valuable work by Kees van Dongen ever sold at auction.

The work is a console table called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hommage \u00e1 B\u00f6cklin<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in reference to the Swiss symbolist painter who later came to influence the surrealists and fantasy art. The table is bronze and iron with pieces of copper colored with a green and gray patina. The crossbar contains several trees, while off to the side, near one of the legs, Giacometti placed a small owl figure. Like the Van Dongen, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hommage \u00e0 B\u00f6cklin<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> exceeded its estimate range. Predicted by Christie\u2019s to sell for no more than \u00a33M, the Giacometti sold for \u00a34.2M \/ $5.1M (or \u00a35.1M \/ $6.2M w\/p). This particular casting of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hommage \u00e0 B\u00f6cklin<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is now Diego Giacometti\u2018s third most valuable work sold at auction. A different casting of the work sold at Sotheby\u2019s New York in December 2021 is the sculptor\u2018s most valuable work, selling for $5.7M hammer. Attesting to the Josefowitz collection\u2019s diversity, the third place lot was one of the several antiquities featured in the sale. This was an Assyrian relief sculpture on a gypsum block dating to the ninth century BCE. At its creation, the Assyrians were the most powerful state in the Middle East. In a display of power and wealth, the Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II moved his capital from Ashur to Nimrud, where he built an extravagant palace, the site of which was where the sculpture sold at Christie\u2019s was uncovered. The carving, excavated by Sir Austin Henry Layard and shipped to London by the British consul in Baghdad, shows a character from Assyrian art known as a winged genius. A winged genius is a bearded male figure with bird\u2019s wings and were most often put in places associated with royalty. Estimated to sell for between \u00a32.5M and \u00a34M, the Assyrian winged genius sold for \u00a33.2M \/ $3.9M (or \u00a33.9M \/ $4.7M w\/p).<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_48637\" style=\"width: 221px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-2023-10-14-at-9.54.55-AM.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48637\" class=\"wp-image-48637\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-2023-10-14-at-9.54.55-AM-300x234.png\" alt=\"A relief sculpture of a winged man next to a tree made on a block of gypsum.\" width=\"211\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-2023-10-14-at-9.54.55-AM-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-2023-10-14-at-9.54.55-AM-1024x800.png 1024w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-2023-10-14-at-9.54.55-AM-768x600.png 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-2023-10-14-at-9.54.55-AM.png 1462w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-48637\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Assyrian winged genius relief<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, the sale wasn\u2019t without its surprises, the most prominent of which happened to be one of my favorite lots. A version of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/fb\/8a\/e5\/fb8ae5a0e682c38e69cd03a05bec8741.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Albrecht D\u00fcrer\u2019s famous rhinoceros woodcut print<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was up for grabs on Friday, assigned an estimate range of \u00a3120K to \u00a3180K. Given that it\u2019s one of the German Renaissance master\u2019s most iconic works, I was slightly surprised at such a low valuation. However, it seems a handful of bidders thought the same, fighting over it for several minutes and driving the final price up to \u00a3480K \/ $582.4K (or \u00a3604.8K \/ $733.8K w\/p), over 2.5 times the high estimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of the thirty-eight lots available, thirteen sold within their estimates, giving Christie&#8217;s specialists a 34% accuracy rate. Only one lot (3%) sold below estimate, while sixteen (42%) sold above. Eight lots failed to sell, giving Christie\u2019s a 79% sell-through rate. With a pre-sale total estimate range of \u00a331.4M and \u00a349.9M, the entire collection fell nicely in the middle, bringing in a total of \u00a342.1M \/ $51.1M.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, October 13th, Christie\u2019s London hosted a sale featuring selections from the Sam Josefowitz collection.
