In this \u2018Modern Times<\/strong>\u2019 auction, the collection of Lies and Cees Soons could be high profile. A purified selection from this collection, together with other masterpieces, can be viewed in what is known as the ‘first loft of Antwerp’, or the ‘Linda Loppa loft’, located at Verlatstraat 12.<\/p>\n

The collection comprises some 150 lots with paintings, prints and drawings from the 1970s and 1980s by foreign and Belgian artists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For instance, pieces by Lucio Fontana, Gianfranco Zappettini, Lourd\u00e8s Castro, Antonio Segui, Richard Paul Lohse and Key Hiraga have been catalogued but it was still mainly work by young wolves from the Netherlands and Belgium that the collector couple focused on. Thus, on 25 April, work by Karel Appel, Klaas Gubbels, Rob Van Kroningsbruggen, Ad Dekkers, Ria Van Eyk, Willem Hussem, Jaap Wagemaker and, of course, Roger Raveel and Raoul De Keyser will be auctioned.<\/div>\n
\n
\n

It may be said that the Dutch couple Soons, residing in Antwerp in recent years, was one of the first to discover the latter, even before that happened in our own Belgium\/Flanders.<\/p>\n

No fewer than ten works (four paintings, two drawings and four prints) by this extremely important post-war painter predominate in this varied display.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Of equal refinement testifies the pottery of Ars Lenci Turin and there is also high-quality glassware from around the turn of the century, with vases by Daum\/Nancy and Etablissements Gall\u00e9, among others, all decorated with ornately etched botanical representations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”6917″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1674642827985{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;}” el_class=”justify”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”6946″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_column_text]Among the paintings, as always, the established names can be found, ranging from winter landscapes by Constant Permeke, to a sublime “Hollebeek” by Valerius De Saedeleer, dreamy portraits by Fernand Toussaint, a back-glass painting by Floris Jespers, five intriguing portraits by Nico Eekman in his unmistakable style and a typical matter painting by Bram Bogart, “Orange-red” from 1984 in a manageable size of 40 by 41 cm.<\/p>\n

Design furniture will not be missing either, including two pairs of Barcelona chairs by Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe for Knoll, two ‘womb’ chairs by Eero Sarinnen (est.: \u20ac1000-1200) and two pairs of exceptional ‘Barcelona’ chairs by Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich with cognac leather upholstery after the 1930 model.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” css=”.vc_custom_1674642865269{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;}” el_class=”justify”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_single_image image=”6899″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”30″ equal_height=”yes” el_class=”justify”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”4\/6″][vc_column_text]On the last auction day, we focus as usual on graphic work and drawings in the Works on Paper auction.<\/p>\n

Some highlights from this auction are a very rare commissioned copy of Stijn Streuvels’ debut ‘Lenteleven’, the personal copy of Elskamp’s ‘Salutations dont d’ang\u00e9liques’ (one of the three copies on Japanese, with the cover printed on silk by Henry Van de Velde), a copy of the rarest luxury Elsschot, i.e. one of the two known copies on Van Gelder of ‘Het Dwaallicht’, with a dedication to his youngest daughter Ida.<\/p>\n

From a private collection, some fine editions from the post-war period will also come under the hammer: G\u00fcnther Uecker’s ode to Jef Verheyen, ‘Souvenir’ (1989), Barbara Kruger’s artist’s book ‘My Pretty Pony’ (1988); Jeff Koons’s ‘Signature Plate (For Parkett 19)’; Jan Fabre’s ‘Luister? ‘ (1992); a full set of ‘S.M.S’ (‘Shit Must Stop’) as well as a rare full set of the fully screen-printed magazine ‘Artworker Star’ (1971-72). There are also some rare editions by Raoul de Keyser and an original design (1988) by this artist for a poster with the poem ‘Vervulling’ by Gerrit Achterberg.<\/p>\n

Finally, there will also be some fine prints from an old Antwerp collection from Brueghel over Crispin de Passe to Whistler, Jongkind and Van Straten.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”justify”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”4\/6″][vc_separator color=”black”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”justify”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_column_text]Viewing days<\/strong>
