Christie's Private Collection of Mary and Alan Hobart 19 November 2024

 Christie’s is proud to present the Private Collection of Mary and Alan Hobart, founders of Pyms Gallery and leading figures in the promotion of Irish art in Britain, to be auctioned on 19 November 2024 at Christie’s in London.

Over nearly five decades, the Hobarts played a pivotal role in shaping the international art market, working closely with institutions such as the National Gallery of Ireland, and influencing both public and private collections. Their pioneering efforts brought attention to Modern Irish art and helped elevate the profiles of lesser-known and female artists globally.

The Hobarts’ expertly curated private collection, drawn from their homes at Farm Street in Mayfair, London, and Cap Ferrat, France, stands as a testament to their remarkable legacy. The sale includes works by leading Modern Irish artists such as Sir William Orpen, Jack Butler Yeats, Mary Swanzy, William Scott, Sean Scully, Grace Henry, Gerard Dillon, in dialogue with renowned twentieth century British artists, including Bridget Riley, Augustus John, Patrick Heron, Walter Sickert, Elisabeth Frink, Robert Colquhoun, John Banting, Prunella Clough, Christopher Wood, John Tunnard and many others. The collection also features carefully chosen pieces of furniture, decorative arts and design, as well as the modern art reference library that the Hobarts lived alongside.

Embodying the spirit of Pyms Gallery, established in 1974 in London, the collection showcases the Hobarts' connoisseurship and their efforts to reclaim artists for Ireland, including those who had been subsumed under British or Scottish schools. While many of the paintings they handled have now become well known as part of prominent public collections, others were retained by the Hobarts for their own collection and will be publicly displayed for the first time in many years.

Another defining aspect of the Hobarts' legacy was their commitment to championing female artists who had been historically underrepresented in the art world. The collection at Farm Street included remarkable works by trailblazing artists such as Dod Procter, Eileen Agar, Mary Swanzy and Rita Duffy.

Through seeking out these names and exhibiting their works at Pyms Gallery, the Hobarts helped to bring such artists into the spotlight, championing their significant contributions to the development of Modern art.

Elizabeth Comba, Head of Sale, Specialist, Private & Iconic Collections at Christie’s London"It is a great honour for Christie's to be entrusted with the sale of Mary and Alan Hobart's private collection. Mary and Alan Hobart played a pivotal role in the art market, effectively establishing a new canon of Modern Irish art, with landmark exhibitions showcasing artists such as Sir William Orpen, Mary Swanzy and Jack Butler Yeats. Their extraordinary personal collection demonstrates how the Hobarts' sharp and instinctive eye also championed the work of so many other great modern artists and designers. We look forward to welcoming visitors to our London and Dublin views”.

Grand Spectacle! Entertainment in Belle Époque Paris


https://www.wardmoretti.art/usr/library/documents/main/press-release_grand-spectacle-at-ward-moretti-london.pdf


Ward Moretti, London 

23 September – 1 November 2024 


Ward Moretti is delighted to announce the exhibition Grand Spectacle! Entertainment in Belle Époque Paris, which will be on display at the gallery in St James’s London from 23September to 1November 2024. The so-called ‘Belle Époque’ (1871-1914) was a remarkably optimistic and fertile period for the arts, industry and global influence of Paris. With the flourishing of the French capital's theatres, cabarets, salons, music halls and circuses, Belle Époque Paris had something to tempt denizens and visitors from every level of society. La Ville Lumière oQered a seemingly endless source of inspiration and became a global centre for the arts and entertainment. This golden age of French culture was captured by the period’s greatest artists, drawn to the vibrant and innovative atmosphere. The optimism of the era, ultimately cut short by the First World War, gave rise to new and significant artistic styles: Post-Impressionism, Orphism, Fauvism and Cubism, among many others. 

The works in this exhibition by the likes of Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso and Van Dongen provide a glimpse into the fleeting and captivating spectacles of the city at that time. In a 1904 watercolour by Picasso, Wagnerian soprano Suzanne Bloch poses dramatically in a crimson cloak. The American modern dancer and choreographer Loie Fuller, captured in her famous Serpentine Dance by Toulouse-Lautrec (c. 1892), supported newly arrived talent, such as the Japanese dancer Sada Yacco, and may even have commissioned Picasso’s drawing of her for an advertising poster (c.1900). Picasso also sketched the Can-can dancer Jane Avril, a favourite muse of Toulouse-Lautrec, for the magazine Le Frou Frou (1901), while Degas recorded the cabaret performances of singer Emilie Bécat, and society sculptor Paul Troubetskoy paid tribute to celebrated ballerina Anna Pavlova (c. 1912). 

 Among the highlights of this exhibition are two spectacular paintings of Belle Époque performers by celebrated Fauve Kees van Dongen. Shocking and stridently coloured, Danseuse Bohémienne (c. 1907) captures the zeitgeist of the era in its imagined Orientalism, inspired by a sultry dancer named Anita who performed in Montmartre’s red-light district. Even more unusual is Van Dongen’s Modjesko soprano singer (1907), which takes as its subject Claudius Modjesko, the stage name of the American born Black entertainer Edward Claude Thompson. Modjesko, known for his fine soprano voice and performances in female guise, found an enthusiastic welcome in Paris’s creative, and in many ways open-minded, artistic milieu.

Wayne Thiebaud: Art Comes from Art

 Legion of Honor

March 22–August 17, 2025


“I believe very much in the tradition that art comes from art and nothing else.” —Wayne Thiebaud

“You can do art history backwards or forwards; you can take your choice. Progress is not part of it. Variation, yes, and extension and all that, but progress? Phew. I don’t know how you’d beat any of that stuff, even from the cave period.” —Wayne Thiebaud

Artist Wayne Thiebaud (American, 1920–2021) was a self-described art “thief” who openly appropriated and reinterpreted old and new European and American paintings, believing that art history is a repository of ideas that connects artists of the past, present, and future. Organized by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (the “Fine Arts Museums”) with generous loans by the Wayne Thiebaud Foundation, the forthcoming Wayne Thiebaud: Art Comes from Art, will be the first exhibition to spotlight the artist’s extensive engagement with art history throughout his six-decade-long career, offering crucial insights into his creative process. 

Opening on March 22, 2025, at the Legion of Honor, the exhibition will present Thiebaud’s thoughtful reinterpretations of historical and contemporary masterworks—some on public view for the first time—alongside images of the original paintings that served as source material. A series of rare works from the artist's personal art collection, by artists from the past and present who informed Thiebaud’s subjects and signature style, will also be on view. 

Wayne Thiebaud is a significant part of the Legion of Honor 100, a yearlong centennial celebration of the historic San Francisco landmark museum and its collections. By installing Wayne Thiebaud at the Legion of Honor amid the museum’s permanent collection, the exhibition highlights the history of art that served as a rich resource for Thiebaud.

“As a self-identified ‘thief,’ who mined the work of his predecessors and contemporaries, Wayne Thiebaud’s practice was deeply rooted in his study of art history, but this aspect of his work has never been explored,” said Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. “Over the course of the next year, as we reflect upon the Legion of Honor’s legacy as a center of art historical research and inspiration, Wayne Thiebaud: Art Comes from Art couldn’t be more timely.”

The exhibition will present 60 of Thiebaud’s wide-ranging reinterpretations of old and new European and American artworks, spanning from 1957 to 2020, with multiple paintings inspired by the same artist displayed together. Reference images of the original artworks, and insights provided by Thiebaud about the artists he drew inspiration from, will be presented alongside his works to provide deeper insights into his creative process.

The exhibition also will include a salon-style gallery featuring about 30 of Thiebaud’s copies after other artists, spanning from Rembrandt van Rijn to Édouard Manet to Giorgio Morandi, as well as approximately 40 original artworks spanning from Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres to Henri Matisse to Joan Mitchell, which he acquired for his personal collection. Thiebaud’s copies were largely made from reproductions that offered him inspiration and insights for his paintings, while his art collection enabled him to own and study original works by some of his heroes in real life.

“Wayne Thiebaud’s engagement with art history’s ‘bureau of standards’ through the practice of appropriation and reinterpretation revealed his belief that the world of art transcended limiting definitions of time and place, as well as progress,” said Timothy Anglin Burgard, exhibition curator as well as Distinguished Senior Curator and Ednah Root Curator in Charge of American Art at the Fine Arts Museums. “Viewed from this perspective, the entire global history of art, encompassing every movement and style, was as accessible, relevant, and inspiring to Thiebaud as contemporary art.”

Three significant works from Thiebaud’s personal collection were generously given to the Fine Arts Museums by the Wayne Thiebaud Foundation ahead of the exhibition. Two of these objects—Joan Mitchell’s Untitled (ca. 1957) and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres’s Mrs. Fleetwood Pellew (Harriet Frances Webster) (1817), will be on public view for the first time during Wayne Thiebaud: Art Comes from Art.

About the Artist

 Wayne Thiebaud was born in Mesa, Arizona, raised in Southern California, and spent most of his career in Northern California. He first gained acclaim in 1962 with paintings depicting a colorful and quintessentially American array of bakery, cafeteria, delicatessen cases, and counters garnished with delicious—or dubious—foods. In the ensuing decades, Thiebaud tackled new subjects including figure groups and portraits, tightly arranged cityscapes, expansive landscapes, and poignant performing clowns. His abstract representations of the real world not only upended the art world’s perception of realism, but also challenged viewers to decide whether his perfectly posted subjects were worthy of admiration, criticism, or both.

Thiebaud was an influential and admired art and art history professor at Sacramento Junior College (now Sacramento City College) and later at the University of California, Davis. His legacy as an artist, teacher, and mentor significantly influenced the evolution of American art in the post-WWII decades.
