PROVENANCE:
Carel Willink came in touch with the constructivist movement in the early
1920s and this infuenced his work: some of his collages from 1922, with
right-angled and linear forms, are reminiscent of the collages by Kurt Schwitters
(1887-1948), who was, in turn, infuenced by the form discipline of Theo
van Doesburg (1883-1931). In 1923 Willink reached the pinnacle of his
constructivist period, with compositions constructed from formal elements and
colour planes with no reference to a reality outside the picture plane.

PROVENANCE:
First: single lines split up the canvas so that the composition falls apart into
separate planes and the painting becomes a self-contained unit.
Second: single lines make the composition static. Third: the double-line or
a multiplicity of lines renders a continuity of related and inter-related rhythm
in space possible, which makes the composition dynamic instead of static.

Jacob Maris, Isaac Israls, Chris Beekman and Vincent van Gogh. Tutein
Nolthenus owned twelve paintings by Van Gogh,The Potato eaters was
among them (now in the Krller-Mller museum, Otterlo).
Hugo Tutein Nolthenius was adviced by Hendricus Petrus Bremmer
(1871-1956), the artist, collector, author, teacher, and the most important
Dutch art advisor and art critic of the frst half of the 20th century. Tutein
Noltenius sister Julie followed Bremmers art classes and so Bremmer
and Tutein Nolthenius made their acquaintance. At a certain point the
collection of Tutein Nolthenius was considered to be so important that
Bremmer organised lectures based upon the collection in 1924-25.
Another known pupil of H.P. Bremmer was zealous collector Helene
Krller-Mller, who bought her frst three paintings by Vincent van Gogh
under Bremmers guidance in 1909. Their alliance resulted in one of the
largest private Dutch collections of modern art, which now forms the core
of the Krller-Mller museum, Otterlo.
Bremmer encouraged and supported many young modern artists during his
life. Both Bart van der Leck and Piet Mondriaan were supported fnancially
and Bremmer would advice his wealthy clientele to purchase work by
artists as Charley Toorop, John Rdecker, Lambertus Zijl, Gino Severini and
Odilon Redon. Other artists were advised by Bremmer on how and what to
paint. Bremmer was extremely infuential, which is refected in many Dutch
public and private collections, such as the collection presented in this sale.
Hugo Tutein Nolthenius was generous with his collection and allowed
objects from it to go on public exhibtion on a number of occasions. In
2008 part of the collection was exhibited in Delft at the Prinsenhof in order
to celebrate both the collector and his remarkable collection.

The original painting of the same composition was created in 1918 and
was right away purchased by Helene Krller-Mller for her collection. A
photo-lithographic print was produced in 1919 to be used as a poster (with
two text banners added) for the exhibition of Van der Lecks work Voor de
Kunst (For Art) in Utrecht.
De Ruiter embodies Van der Lecks complete reduction of forms to their
base components. The image of a rider on a horse is depicted by means
of associated fragmented angular shapes whose only context is a blue strip
of line suggesting sky and two red rectangles suggesting a base or ground
for the image.

From 1909 until 1913 Max Slevogt spent the summer months at Godramstein
near Landau in the Palatinate, where his wifes parents lived. Involved in the
Berlin Secession movement with Max Liebermann and Lovis Corinth, life in a
small village in a beautiful natural setting provided a welcome change of scene
for his wife and their two children. Slevogt painted many landscapes in the
garden of the villa and the immediate surroundings in 1909-10. He abandoned
the dark palette he had been taught to use at the art academy in Munich, to
explore under the sway of French Impressionism and infuenced by Vincent van
Gogh. These landscapes are characterized by a summery joie de vivre and are
painted in exquisitely glowing, intense colours.
Since the late 1890s Slevogt had been engaged in an investigation of the
human fgure. Infuences of French artists became visible. In the autumn of 1889,
Paul and Bruno Cassirer organised an exhibition with work by Monet and other
French painters in Berlin, along with some of Slevogts paintings. The freshness
of handling and the vibrancy of the palette were an eye-opener for the artist.
Slevogt was particularly taken by Manet. I admired Manet so much, because,
in him, I found what makes the world so beautiful (op. cit. B. Geil a.o., German
Impressionist Landscape Painting Liebermann-Corinth-Slevogt, Stuttgart 2010).
In Selbstbildnis im Garten the artist is in direct contact with the viewer, with
his ever-present cigar he seems calm and confdent. The work combines the
liveliness of the sun-lit summer landscape and a self portrait of the artist at the
peak of his artistic career.
The frst owner of Selbstbildnis im Garten, Carl Steinbart (1852-1923) was a
banker, art dealer and art collector. He owned one of the largest collections of
Slevogts work, consisting of at least 80 paintings. Slevogt portrayed Steinbart
and his family members several times.

PROVENANCE:
The present lot shows a corner in the garden of Neukastel, with fowering
plants and a sunlit garden wall, painted in 1917. Originally owned by
the artists parents-in-law, the Finklers, whose daughter Slevogt had married
in 1898, the property passed to the artist in 1914. In 1917 Slevogt was
forced to stay in Neukastel during World War I. This was distressing for
him, since he had been appointed supervisor of a master-class painting
studio at the Berlin Academy in that same year. He did make good use of
this long stay at Neukastel and was very productive, resulting in a series
of vibrant pictures showing the estate and its gardens.
Bernard Geil wrote about Slevogts garden pictures from around 1917:
The choice of motifs in these garden paintings sometimes seems random,
a characteristic very typical of French Impressionism. A modest motif has

PROVENANCE:
from around 1888, and for the next decade, he became one of the leading
proponents of this style in Belgium.
By the end of the 19th Century, at the time La Tour de Furnes was painted,
Van Rysselberghe had begun to abandon the rigorously methodical
technique and its strict division of colours, turning instead towards a looser
handling and a less divisionist touch. In La Tour de Furnes, Van Rysselberghe
has still applied colour in accordance to colour harmonies, but these nuances
of colour are conveyed in a more expressive manner, suffusing the scene
with an atmospheric, sensitively conveyed interplay of light and shadows.
The artist wrote in a letter to his friend Paul Signac in 1899, the year after La
Tour de Furnes was painted, I never considered division, or pure pigment,
as an aesthetic principle even less as a philosophy but rather as a means
of expression. As soon as this medium seems incomplete to me I change
my tools (Van Rysselberghe, quoted in Tho van Rysselberghe, exh. cat.,
Brussels, 2006, p. 66).

Regarding the nudes in his work Delvaux explained that they participate
purely as a presence without any particular role. They form part of the
pictorial structure, the aim of which is purely poetic they are active only
in the lyrical sense; they have no mission in the picture beyond that of
the poetic (Delvaux quoted in J. Meuris, Paul Delvaux: Sept Dialogues,
Brussels, 1987, pp. 22 & 58). The essential mystery of the female nude
and the trains, trams and stations, we see so often in his work, was one
that never tired him. In the present lot Delvauxs focus is entirely on the two
female nudes with no background. But these elements, so essential to his
painting, held little or no symbolic value, he felt. They were ultimately only
pictorial tools by which he sought to generate the specifc atmosphere of
poetic mystery that he wanted his art to convey. Painting is not only the
pleasure of putting colours on canvas he once asserted, it is also the
expression of a poetic feelingWhat interests me is plastic expression,
the rediscovery of poetry in painting, which had been lost for centuries
(Delvaux quoted in Paul Delvaux 1897-1994, exh. cat., Royal Museums
of Fine Art, Brussels, p. 21).

After the retirement of his father, in 1909, Jan Mankes left Delft for the rustic
countryside of Friesland in the north of The Netherlands.
Here Mankes had more room for his animals, which were his favourite subject
to paint. He worked with small animals like rabbits, goats and mice. However,
he specifcally loved birds. Owls, crows and the thrush, probably sent to Mankes
by his maecenas A.A.M. Pauwels, who would supply him with all the materials,
including animals, he would need.
Mankes was especially confdent about this present lot Lijster tussen bloesem. In
February 1912 he wrote a letter to A.A.M. Pauwels: Het deed me bijzonder
plezier dat er weer wat bij verkocht is, temeer daar we daar sterk aan twijfelen,
wie weet, komt het nog niet heel goed als de zaak nog wat open blijft, de lijster
zal wel die zijn met de witte bloesems, stellig een der mooiste dingen, wat t
zelfportret is zullen we nog wel hooren. (op.cit. J. De Lange, Jan Mankes: een
kunstenaarsleven in brieven, Zwolle 2013, p. 262)
The thinly painted canvas with its transparent layers and the oblong format refects
Mankes interest in Japanese art. His inspiration came from the Gowanbook
he recieved from a friend in The Hague. The little booklet contained a few
reproductions of Japanese prints and drawings. It stimulated Mankes symbolistic
phase, in which he focused more on inner thruth and ideal beauty than the
technique that was truest to nature. The three values Mankes pursued in his work:
beauty, purity and simplicity, can therefore be recognised in the Lijster tussen
bloesem, where the bird is the ultimate example of Mankes characteristic style.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
CHRISTIES INTEREST IN PROPERTY
CONSIGNED FOR AUCTION
From time to time, Christies may offer a lot which it
owns in whole or in part. Such property is identified in the
catalogue with the symbol next to its lot number.
On occasion, Christies has a direct financial interest in
lots consigned for sale, which may include guaranteeing
a minimum price or making an advance to the consignor
that is secured solely by consigned property. Where
Christies holds such financial interest on its own we
identify such lots with the symbol next to the lot number.
Where Christies has financed all or part of such interest
through a third party the lots are identified in the catalogue
with the symbol u. When a third party agrees to finance
all or part of Christies interest in a lot, it takes on all
or part of the risk of the lot not being sold, and will be
remunerated in exchange for accepting this risk based on
a fixed fee if the third party is the successful bidder or on
the final hammer price in the event that the third party
is not the successful bidder. The third party may also bid
for the lot. Where it does so, and is the successful bidder,
the remuneration may be netted against the final purchase
price. If the lot is not sold, the third party may incur a
loss. Please see http://www.christies.com/financialinterest/ for a more detailed explanation of minimum price
guarantees and third party financing arrangements.
Where Christies has an ownership or financial interest in
every lot in the catalogue, Christies will not designate each
lot with a symbol, but will state its interest in the front of
the catalogue.

BUYING AT CHRISTIES
CONDITIONS OF SALE
ABSENTEE BIDS
ESTIMATES
Estimates are based upon prices recently paid at auction
for comparable property, condition, rarity, quality and
provenance. Estimates are subject to revision. Buyers
should not rely upon estimates as a representation or
prediction of actual selling prices. Estimates do not include
the buyers premium or VAT. Where Estimate on
Request appears, please contact the Specialist Department
for further information.
RESERVES
The reserve is the confidential minimum price the
consignor will accept and will not exceed the low
pre-sale estimate. Lots that are not subject to a reserve are
identified by the symbol next to the lot number
BUYERS PREMIUM
Christies charges a premium to the buyer on the Hammer
Price of each lot sold at the following rates:
30.25% of the Hammer Price of each lot up to and
including 30,000, plus 24.2% of the Hammer Price
between 30,001 and 1,200,000, plus 14.52% of any
amount in excess of 1,200,000. Buyers premium is
calculated on the basis of each lot individually.
PRE-AUCTION VIEWING
Pre-auction viewings are open to the public free of
charge. Christies specialists are available to give advice and
condition reports at viewings or by appointment.
BIDDER REGISTRATION
Prospective buyers who have not previously bid or
consigned with Christies should bring:
Individuals: government-issued photo identification (such
as a driving licence, national identity card, or passport)
and, if not shown on the ID document, proof of current
address, for example a utility bill or bank statement.
Corporate clients: a certificate of incorporation or if
located in the Netherlands original excerpt of Chamber of
Commerce not older than 4 weeks.
For other business structures such as trusts, offshore
companies or partnerships, please contact Christies Credit
Department at +31 (0)20 575 52 11 for advice on the
information you should supply.
A financial reference in the form of a recent bank statement
or a reference from your bank. Christies can supply a form of
wording for the bank reference if necessary.
Persons registering to bid on behalf of someone who has
not previously bid or consigned with Christies should bring
identification documents not only for themselves but also for
the party on whose behalf they are bidding, together with a
signed letter of authorisation from that party.
To allow sufficient time to process the information, new
clients are encouraged to register at least 48 hours in
advance of a sale.
Prospective buyers should register for a numbered bidding
paddle at least 30 minutes before the auction. Clients who
have not made a purchase from any Christies office within
the last two years and those wishing to spend more than
on previous occasions, will be asked to supply a new bank
reference. For assistance with references, please contact
Christies Credit Department at +31 (0)20 575 52 11.
BIDDING
The auctioneer accepts bids from those present in the
saleroom, from telephone bidders, or by absentee written
bids left with Christies in advance of the auction. The
auctioneer may also execute bids on behalf of the seller
up to the amount of the reserve. The auctioneer will not
specifically identify bids placed on behalf of the seller.
Under no circumstances will the auctioneer place any bid
on behalf of the seller at or above the reserve. Bid steps
are shown on the Absentee Bids Form at the back of this
catalogue.
TELEPHONE BIDS
Telephone bids cannot be accepted for lots estimated
below 2,200. Arrangements must be confirmed with
the Bid Department at least 24 hours prior to the auction
at +31 (0)20 575 59 50. Fax: +31 (0)20 575 59 74.
Arrangements to bid in languages other than Dutch and
English must be made well in advance of the sale date.
Telephone bids may be recorded. By bidding on the
telephone, prospective purchasers consent to the recording
of their conversation.
AUCTIONEERS DISCRETION
The auctioneer can, acting reasonably: (a) refuse any bid; (b)
move the bidding backwards or forwards in any way he or she
may decide or change the bidding order; (c) withdraw or divide
any lot; (d) combine any two or more lots; (e) in the case of
a mistake (whether or not made by Christies) or a dispute as
to the successful bidder (whether during or after the auction,
including after the fall of the hammer) restart or continue the
bidding, cancel the sale of the lot or resell or reoffer a lot. If any
dispute arises after the auction the auctioneers decision is final.
SUCCESSFUL BIDS
The fall of the auctioneers hammer indicates the final bid,
at which time the buyer assumes full responsibility for the
lot. The results of absentee bids will be mailed after the
auction. Successful bidders will pay the price of the final
bid plus premium plus any applicable VAT.
PAYMENT
Buyers are expected to pay for purchases immediately after
the auction. Payment can be made in cash, or by bank transfer

VAT
REFUNDS FOR BUYERS OUTSIDE THE EU
VAT charged on both the Hammer Price and the Premium
may be refunded provided the following conditions are met:
- Property must be exported from the EU within 2 months
of the date of the sale.
- Christies must be provided with proof of export bearing
the original customs stamp from the point of export from the
EU. Netherlands tax authorities will not accept photocopies.
- The purchase invoice must be addressed to a party resident
outside of the EU.
Christies remains liable to account for VAT on all Lots
unless the conditions listed above are satisfied. Therefore
Buyers will generally be asked to initially deposit all amounts
of VAT invoiced. To apply for a refund the appropriate
export evidence must be sent to Christies accounts
department clearly marked VAT REFUND. There will
be an administration charge of 35 payable to Christies for
this service.
An immediate refund of VAT is possible if shipping is
arranged by Christies within 2 months of the date of the sale.
SHIPPING
A shipping form is enclosed with each invoice to buyers
outside of the Netherlands. It is the buyers responsibility
to pick up purchases or make all shipping arrangements.
After payment has been made in full, Christies can arrange
property packing and shipping at the buyers request and
expense. Buyers should request an estimate for any large
items or property of high value that require professional
packing. For more information please contact the Shipping
Department at +31 (0)20 575 52 52.
VAT
BUYERS FROM WITHIN THE EU
Buyers who are resident outside The Netherlands, but within
the EU, and who have obtained a valid VAT identification
number that has been made known to Christies before or
immediately after the sale, and who furthermore comply with
all other conditions specified by Christies, will be eligible
for a VAT rate of 0 %. The buyer guarantees to Christies
the correctness of all information provided. Lots that are sold
in accordance with the above shall be ineligible to be resold
under the Margin Scheme.
EXPORT/IMPORT PERMIT
Overseas buyers are advised to familiarise themselves with any
restrictions or licence requirements relating to their intended
purchases. In case of doubt, buyers are advised to consult their
local customs authority or a reputable international shipper.
Export licences in the Netherlands can usually be obtained
within two to four weeks. Sellers and Buyers are advised
that the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sciences may
designate cultural objects as protected cultural objects, in
which case restrictions with regard to the exportation and
transfer of title of these objects apply. Sellers and Buyers
are further advised that certain objects may fall within the
scope of EU-regulation no 3911/92, as a consequence of
which an export licence from the Ministry of Education,
Culture and Sciences may be required if the objects are to
be exported to a country outside of the EU.
An export licence issued by the Ministry of Agriculture,
Nature and Food Quality, Department CITES will
be required for the export of any item made of, or
incorporating (irrespective of percentage) animal material
such as ivory, whalebone, tortoiseshell, rhinoceros horn
etc. and this generally takes up to 8 weeks. Clients are
advised to check with the regulating body in the country
of importation regarding items within this category - some
countries have an absolute ban on the importation of
certain materials.

themselves but also for the party on whose behalf
they are bidding, together with a signed letter of
authorisation from that party.
To allow sufficient time to process the information,
new clients are encouraged to register at least 48 hours
in advance of a sale.
Prospective buyers should register for a numbered
bidding paddle at least 30 minutes before the auction.
Clients who have not made a purchase from any

7. PAYMENT
The Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price to Christies
within seven days after the auction, failing which he
shall be in default. The Buyer shall owe interest on the
Purchase Price to Christies at a rate equal to the legal
interest plus two percentage points from the moment
he is in default. The Purchase Price includes V.A.T.
The Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price in full even if
a subsequent V.A.T. refund may be granted.
Christies does not accept payment from third parties.
This also applies to agents.
8. RELEASE OF LOTS
(a) Without prejudice to the provision of article
B.2.(a), the title to the objects belonging to the Lot
shall not pass to the Buyer until he has fully paid the
Purchase Price as well as any and all other moneys due
from the Buyer to Christies as a result of any other
purchase agreements. Until such time, Christies shall
have a lien (retentierecht) on the objects belonging
to the Lot.
(b) The Buyer must take away the Lot(s) purchased by
him at his expense within seven days of the auction,
failing which he shall be in default. The period of
seven days mentioned here may be deviated from in
the auction catalogue.
(c) The Buyer shall be liable for the costs of removal,
storage or other costs of any Lot which has not been
taken away by him within the period referred to
in paragraph (b) above. Christies shall have a lien
(retentierecht) on the Lot in respect of said costs.
(d) The Buyer may request Christies to pack a
purchased Lot or to cause the same to be packed. Such
packing shall be done entirely at the discretion of
Christies and at the expense and risk of the Buyer.
(e) Christies does not provide a packing, postal or
delivery service. Christies can suggest the names of
companies that provide these services if requested
to do so. However Christies does not accept
responsibility for any loss or damage which may occur
during packing, storage or transportation of the Lot(s).
(f) Collection of purchases
Christies shall be entitled to retain items sold
until all amounts due to Christies, or to Christies
International plc, or to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries
or parent companies worldwide, have been received
in full in good cleared funds or until the buyer has
performed any other outstanding obligations as we,
in our sole discretion, shall require, including, for
the avoidance of doubt, completing any anti-money
laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks we may
require to our satisfaction. In the event a buyer fails to
complete any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism
financing checks to our satisfaction, Christies shall be
entitled to cancel the sale and to take any other actions
that are required or permitted under applicable law.
Subject to this, the buyer shall collect purchased lots
within seven calendar days from the date of the sale
unless otherwise agreed between us and the buyer.
9. RISK OF PURCHASED LOTS
The risk of loss or damage to purchased Lots shall
be borne by the Buyer from the moment when the
Buyers bid is accepted as the highest bid by Christies
at the auction. This means that Buyers have a legal
obligation to pay their purchases in full, even if the
Lots are subsequently lost or damaged.
10. DEFAULT OF THE BUYER
(a) If the Buyer is in default, Christies shall be
authorised to sell the Lot(s) purchased by the Buyer
without further notice, either by private or by public
sale. The Buyer shall continue to be liable for the part
of the Purchase Price remaining unpaid after such sale,
while the Buyer shall never be entitled to any surplus
proceeds which may be realised upon re-auctioning.
(b) If, as a result of the Buyers default, Christies are
sued by the Seller or by third parties or if any property
belonging to Christies or the sold Lot(s) is/are seized
by the Seller or by third parties, or if Christies suffer
damage or incur expenses in any other way as a result
of the Buyers default, Christies shall be entitled
to recover from the Buyer all damage suffered and
expenses incurred by Christies as a result thereof.
Christies shall moreover be authorised to disclose the
identity of the Buyer to the Seller or to the said third
parties if the Buyer is in default.
