Carl Andre (1935-2024) - RUINSOFACCOUNT YUCA 56/X 12

Carl Andre (1935-2024) RUINSOFACCOUNT YUCA 56/X 12, 1972 Monogrammed, dated and numbered on the reverse Xerox copy on typewriter paper Sheet: 28 x 21.7cm. Overall: 32 x 38.5 x 4cm. Provenance Galerie Arnaud Lefebvre, Paris. Private Collection, Amsterdam (acquired for the above). Private Collection, The Netherlands. From the series of 26 Yucatan poems, numbered YUCA 44–70. The work is monogrammed and dated by the artist ‘©1972@’ on the verso, lower right corner. The poem number is inscribed in pencil in the lower left corner, and the xerox copy number appears in the lower right. The Yucatan poems exist in several formats: original typescripts, carbon copies, and xeroxes. This xerox series was produced in an estimated edition of no more than 20 copies by Carl Andre and Rosemarie Castoro. This particular sheet was executed in 1993 and exhibited at Galerie Arnaud Lefebvre, Paris, as part of Carl Andre / Passport 1960 / Yucatan 1972 in 1997. Carl Andre’s Yucatan poems are appropriated from the chapter titles of Volume II of John L. Stephens’ Incidents of Travel in Yucatan (1848). The artist rearranged the words into grid-like formations that echo the structure and rigor of his sculptural practice. The Exceptional Sale spans all areas of the arts: Modern and Contemporary Art, Photography, Prints and Multiples, and Classical Art. Though diverse, each piece is united by its exceptional quality. Bouc-peintre (Goat-Painter) by Marc Chagall is one of the sale's highlights. Dedicated to Willem Sandberg, the former director of the Stedelijk Museum, the work boasts significant provenance and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the Comité Marc Chagall on 16 May 2024. Outstanding quality is evident in every lot, with works by some of the greatest artists: paintings by Lucassen, Jonathan Meese, Van Koningsbruggen, and Armando; works on paper by Markus Lüpertz, Breitner, Corneille, and Von Graevenitz; multiples by Yves Klein, Cy Twombly, Jan Schoonhoven, and Lawrence Weiner; and photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe and Steve McQueen. The sale concludes with two paintings by Willem Bastiaan Tholen. Particularly noteworthy is a unique ceramic relief in four parts by Bram Bogart, painted in blue and white. The work challenges the limitations of two-dimensionality and exemplifies his iconic, sculptural approach to painting. Transport and Shipping Local pickup is available, preferred, and free of charge.
