注意事项
On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in the outcome of the sale of certain lots consigned for sale. This will usually be where it has guaranteed to the Seller that whatever the outcome of the auction, the Seller will receive a minimum sale price for the work. This is known as a minimum price guarantee. Where Christie's has provided a Minimum Price Guarantee it is at risk of making a loss, which can be significant, if the lot fails to sell. Christie's therefore sometimes chooses to share that risk with a third party. In such cases the third party agrees prior to the auction to place an irrevocable written bid on the lot. The third party is therefore committed to bidding on the lot and, even if there are no other bids, buying the lot at the level of the written bid unless there are any higher bids. In doing so, the third party takes on all or part of the risk of the lot not being sold. If the lot is not sold, the third party may incur a loss. The third party 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 above the written bid. Third party guarantors are required by us to disclose to anyone they are advising their financial interest in any lots they are guaranteeing. However, for the avoidance of any doubt, if you are advised by or bidding through an agent on a lot identified as being subject to a third party guarantee you should always ask your agent to confirm whether or not he or she has a financial interest in relation to the lot.

拍品专文

Infused with a deep sense of mystery, Un grand tableau qui représente un paysage is a powerful early example of Yves Tanguy’s great series of enigmatic, Surrealist landscapes. Painted in 1927, it emerged during one of the most intensive and productive periods of the artist’s career, as he delved into the recesses of his imagination and experimented with a near-automatic technique, arriving at the mature style that he would become renowned for. After first delineating a background landscape whose hazy colors and forms would articulate the mood of the picture, the painting would then be left to dry for a day or so, during which time the artist ruminated upon the shapes before him, contemplating the potential direction of the composition. Tanguy would then instinctively begin to populate the canvas with a series of intuitively arrived-at forms, modelled and shaped by spur of the moment decisions. “The element of surprise in the creation of a work of art is, to me, the most important factor,” he later explained. “The painting develops before my eyes, unfolding its surprises as it progresses. It is this which gives me the sense of complete liberty, and for this reason I am incapable of forming a plan or making a sketch beforehand” (“The Creative Process,” in Art Digest, vol. 28, no. 8, 1954, p. 14). 
Having grown up in Locronan, in the Finistère province in far west Brittany, Tanguy’s dreams of the marvelous had always revolved around and been inspired by the sea, which remained in his imagination an undeniable and ever-present manifestation of the great unknown. During the 1920s, the artist returned to this familiar landscape, spending a number of weeks each summer exploring the coastline extensively, making excursions to nearby peninsulas with rugged cliffs, and visiting the myriad Neolithic monuments that were scattered throughout the surrounding environment. These visits exerted a growing influence on his paintings from 1926 onwards, resulting in hallucinatory visions that he conjured from the depths of his subconscious, but which retained a clear affinity with the sea. In Un grand tableau qui représente un paysage the color palette is particularly suggestive of a wild, rugged coastal scene, its richly variegated blue-grey tones invoking the depths of the ocean. The deep foreground plane appears as a sandy expanse, undulating towards the shoreline, while a large stone monolith occupies the left hand side of the scene, its sheer face suggesting a cliff, a sea-stack, or an ancient menhir. A host of strange, phantasmagorical figures and forms are dotted throughout the scene, lit by an unseen source that causes strong, silhouetted shadows to fall over the ground, while wispy tendrils appear to float upwards, like clusters of seaweed caught in the breeze.
Un grand tableau qui représente un paysage was included in Tanguy’s inaugural solo-exhibition, Yves Tanguy et Objets d’Amérique at the Galerie Surréaliste in Paris from May to June, 1927. In his preface to the exhibition, André Breton praised the new direction within the artist’s oeuvre explaining that it “allows him to venture as far as he wants and to give us images of the unknown…” (Yves Tanguy et Objets d’Amérique, exh. cat., Galerie surréaliste, Paris, 1927). The painting was purchased shortly after the exhibition by Henri Hoppenot and his wife, Helena, and remained in their collection for the following three decades. While visiting a group exhibition in Washington, D.C. in the 1950s Tanguy encountered Hoppenot, who was by then a high-ranking diplomat, serving as French Ambassador to the UN Security Council. Hoppenot invited Tanguy to the ambassador’s residence to see Un grand tableau qui représente un paysage in person, an offer Tanguy happily accepted, proclaiming that he found it “a fantastic experience to see one of my children again after twenty-five years” (quoted in K. Von Maur, ed., Yves Tanguy and Surrealism, exh. cat., The Menil Collection, Houston, 2001, p. 125).
