Antoni Clavé: a master of the avant-garde to be reclaimed
December 5

Antoni Clavé: a master of the avant-garde to be reclaimed

Antoni Clavé (Barcelona, 1913 – Saint-Tropez, 2005) is one of the great protagonists of 20th century European art. His production -rich, varied and deeply personal- constitutes a coherent journey from the intimate portraits of his youth to the resounding and vibrant abstraction of his maturity. Whoever approaches Clavé’s works discovers a constant evolution guided by research, sensitivity and an increasingly refined plastic language. The three works presented in this auction of works by Clavé – Portraitd’une jeune fille au chapeau (ca. 1954), Roi ( 1957) and En noir et bleu ( 1972) – provide a synthesis of the career of

But within that universe, there is one figure who shines with his own light -literally and metaphorically-: Poul Henningsen (1894-1967), the great master of Danish design and creator of some of the most influential lamps of the 20th century. At Setdart’s November 25 Design auction, we present an exceptional collection of original Poul Henningsen lamps, manufactured between the 1920s and 1940s. These are authentic PH lamps – not modern reissues – produced primarily by Louis Poulsen, which retain the patina, core materials

International Klein Blue: Yves Klein and the blue that transformed art

Color is a universal and, at the same time, deeply personal experience. It moves us, commands us, guides us. In art, it becomes a wordless language that communicates that which escapes form. From the mineral pigments of prehistoric caves to today’s digital screens, color has been much more than a decorative element: it is a means of thought and emotion, a symbolic tool that reflects how each culture understands the world. Throughout history, each era has given color its own meaning. In the Renaissance, blue was a symbol of divinity and prestige, reserved for the Virgin and the wealthiest patrons,
