Internationale Top-Galerien fehlen, trotz des neuen Untertitels „The Universelle Art Fair“. Abgesehen von der auf Archäologie ausgerichteten Phoenix Ancient Art (New York, Genf). Phoenix hat die ganze Sammlung des 87 jährigen Chemie-Nobelpreisträgers von 1980, Walter Gilbert, am Stand. Der US Biochemiker erzählt, dass er diese innerhalb von 25 Jahren auf Auktionen und in Galerien erwarb und sie, nach Erstellung eines Katalogs, noch zu Lebzeiten über die Galerie Phoenix verkauft.

“But the show does not tell its Modernism story in a straight line, and it doesn’t even start with Modernism. In New York’s Phoenix Ancient Art gallery, the abstract, smoothly contoured marble Neolithic mother goddess is as modern and abstract as a Brancusi, and the bronze, fourth century B.C. Greek warrior’s helmet, designed to deflect the slings and arrows of battle, already embodies Modernism’s maxim, form follows function (otherwise you’re dead).”

“De Genève toujours, mais un peu égaré ici, il y a Phoenix Ancient Art, qui fait simultanément la BRAFA à Bruxelles. La galerie a amené des vases grecs ou italiotes magnifiques, plus quelques marbres antiques. On se situe avec eux dans le fastueux, mais pas trop. Les pièces les plus spectaculaires de la maison demeurent réservées aux grandes foires.”

Après des années d’austérité chic et de minimalisme zéro défaut, le goût de l’ornementation revient et le passé (ré)investit notre quotidien. Un “quotidien”, avouons-le, fait de spendeurs et de somptuosités. Des objets rares à découvrir dans les stands des exposants de la Brafa. Nos coups de coeur !

“Antiquities also make a strong showing. For its 13th year at BRAFA, Geneva and New York-based Phoenix Ancient Art brings a fine red figure kylix or drinking cup, dated to 490–480 BC and signed by the potter Hieron, the refined painting ascribed to the vase painter Makron. Also on display here is a Sarmatian woven gold neckpiece with amethyst and turquoise from 100 BC–100 AD, the fi nials representing crouching animals…”

C’est sans surprise. Jeudi dernier, à Art en Vieille Ville (AVV), Phoenix Ancient Art tenait encore la vedette. Pas de réel sujet cette fois, le mot d’ordre «10» lancé pour marquer les dix ans de l’association permettant toutes les variations. Il faut aussi dire que ce commerce d’antiques a un automne pour le moins rempli derrière lui. Il vient de faire le Sofa de Chicago après avoir participé à la TEFAF Fall de New York. Il y a des limites à l’énergie et au renouvellement.

NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — This October marks the second annual showing of the world renowned TEFAF FALL art fair in New York at the historical Park Avenue Armory. The inaugural fair last year was a grand success with Phoenix Ancient Art building a miniature Roman Pantheon as their stand design, featuring cornices, niches, vitrines, and of course the glowing oculus from the center of the dome, all reminiscent of the interior of the famous Roman temple. This year Hicham Aboutaam is bringing that stand back to life with a new flavor. A color scheme derived from the colors of different ancient stones such as porphyry, pink marble, giallo antico, breccia, alabaster, and white and red granite. The Dutch master stand-builder, Stabilo, has chartered new territory with this concept.

Phoenix Ancient Art exhibits an exquisite Egyptian rock crystal ring, a sphinx resting on the bezel, dating to the Ramesside period of the New Kingdom (1295-1069 BC). The form was developed during the reign of Tutankhamun and those topped with scarabs, cats, frogs, sometimes lions, became popular, worn as talismans. Less common is the sphinx, as are rock crystal examples as gold was more commonly used.

C’est la fille d’Ouranos et de Gaïa, autrement dit du Ciel et de la Terre (1). Mnémosyne a donné son nom à toute chose, créant ainsi le langage. Elle reste surtout la déesse de la mémoire, maintenant de la sorte le passé un peu présent. Aimée de Zeus, ce parfait infidèle, Mnémosyne accoucha aussi des neuf Muses, dont chacune possède une spécialité. Uranie, c’est l’astronomie. Clio, l’Histoire. Thalie, la comédie. Je m’arrêterai là.

“Elsewhere at the fair, Phoenix Ancient Art had one of the busiest stands. The New York and Geneva dealers had designed their booth in a Pantheon’ style and they sold the piece at the centre of their display – the Northumberland Aphrodite Anadyomene statue which was bought by a European collector at the preview for a seven-figure sum.
The 1st century BC-1st century AD Graeco- Roman statue had once belonged to the collection of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland at Syon House where it stood in the Robert Adam-designed interior.
They also sold all three of their Greek Corinthian helmets to three different collectors — New York, California, and Mexico — with prices ranging between $200,000 and $350,000.
Hicham Aboutaam of Phoenix Ancient Art, said: The VIP preview day was spectacularly crowded with many new faces along with well-known international collectors and an impressive number of people from the museum world.”
