This special auction of art from the Kraft Bretschneider Collection in Tübingen will focus on important German Informel works. The choice offering of classic post-war art is headed by Emil Schumacher’s “Mabudan”. Painted (1965) in oil with collaged canvas on canvas, this work carries an estimate of € 150 000-250 000. Measuring 77 x 179 cm, this Emil Schumacher is charged with colour contrasting black with a range of forceful red-orange tones heightened with white. The artist actually seems to have turned everything inside out, thus opening up glimpses into hidden worlds.
Other pictures revealing “the inner workings of the world” by Emil Schumacher are his 1960 “Abora I” (estimate: € 70 000-90 000) and “Taras Bulba” (1957; estimate: € 40 000-60 000) as well as “Kleines rotes Bild” [“Little Red Picture”] (estimate: € 25 000-35 000), dating from 1961. What all these Schumachers have in common is that they inspire free association and interpretation in a visual thought process due not least to the richly varied refraction of light on the picture surfaces.
Hans Hartungs acrylic on canvas “T 1969-H10” is sure to keep the auction room on tenterhooks. Measuring 50 x 73.5 cm, it was painted in 1969 and is dedicated to Antonio Corpora. The Hartung is to enter the lists carrying an estimate of € 25 000-35 000.
The 1970 Cy Twombly colour offset lithograph “Roman Notes III” and Zoran Music’s “Automne en Dalmatie” [“Autumn in Dalmatia”; 1958] are each estimated at € 15 000-20 000.
Other important works in this stellar special auction are by Francis Bott, Carl Buchheister, Sam Francis, Otto Greis, Heinz Kreutz, Serge Poliakoff and Pierre Soulages.

An elephant ivory auction totaling over 19,800 lb (9,000 kg) will be held in Namibia. This is the first time in nearly 10 years that international trade in elephant ivory has been sanctioned by the UN-backed Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
The sales will continue over the next two weeks in Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa, with a grand total of 119 tons (108 tonnes) of ivory up for bidding. This accounts for an estimated 10,000+ dead elephants.
The last authorized auction since CITES banned the ivory trade in 1989 was in 1999, when southern African countries complying with stringent controls were given permission to sell off stockpiles to generate money for conservation and community development.
