CARTIER TANK CINTREÉ, GIFTED BY GUNTER SACHS
Est: CHF9,500 - CHF12,000
CARTIER TANK CINTREÉ, GIFTED BY GUNTER SACHS Serial No. 33500 Circa 1960 Provenance: Collection of Regina Spelman Gunter Sachs, born in Gstaad in 1932, was the son of the industrial tycoon Willy Sachs. In the 1960s and 1970s he became world famous for his extravagant lifestyle. His parties were so legendary, they turned the sleepy harbour town of St Tropez, one of his favourite vacation spots, into a jet-set destination. Due to numerous liaisons with the most beautiful women of his time, as well as his (very short-lived) marriage to Brigitte Bardot, he was considered the playboy par excellence. The watch presented here was gifted by him to the famous Munich model and ‘it’ girl Iris Gras, who was known as the ‘Fräuleinwunder’ of the post–war time and with whom Sachs shared a lifelong friendship. It is a woman’s Cartier Tank Cintrée. This model was designed by Louis Cartier in 1921 and was the first variation of the classic Cartier Tank. Compared to the latter, the case of the Cintreé is longer and ergonomically curved. With this curved shape, it perfectly hugs the contours of the wrist and is extremely comfortable to wear. This watch is in fantastic condition. The yellow gold case, with classic Roman numerals, as well as the cognac-coloured leather strap and the iconic sapphire cabochon on the winding crown make this rare and beautiful collectible a truly exceptional addition to any collection. --------------- CARTIER TANK CINTREÉ, GESCHENK VON GUNTER SACHS Seriennummer 33500. Circa 1960. Provenienz: Kollektion von Regina Spelman. Gunter Sachs, 1932 in Gstaad geboren, war der Sohn des Grossindustriellen Willy Sachs. In den 1960ern und 1970ern wurde er aufgrund seines extravaganten Lebensstils weltbekannt. Seine Partys waren so legendär, dass aus dem verschlafenen Hafenort St. Tropez einer seiner bevorzugten Ferienorte, eine Jet-Set-Destination wurde. Aufgrund zahlreicher Liaisons mit den schönsten Frauen seiner Zeit, sowie der sehr kurzen Ehe mit Brigitte Bardot, galt er als der Playboy schlechthin. Die hier präsentierte Uhr schenkte er dem berühmten Münchner Model und Ii-Girl Iris Gras, die als «Fräuleinwunder» der Nachkriegszeit bekannt war und mit der Sachs eine lebenslange Freundschaft verband. Es handelt sich um eine Cartier Tank Cintrée in Damengrösse. Dieses Model wurde 1921 von Louis Cartier designt und war die erste Variation der klassischen Cartier Tank. Im Gegensatz zu dieser ist das Gehäuse der Cintreé länger und ergonomisch gewölbt. Mit dieser geschwungenen Form nimmt sie die Konturen des Handgelenks gekonnt auf und ist äusserst angenehm zu tragen. Dieses Exemplar ist in fantastischem Zustand. Das Gehäuse aus Gelbgold, mit klassisch romanischen Ziffern, sowie das cognac-farbene Lederarmband und der ikonische Saphir-Cabochon auf der Aufzugkrone machen dieses seltene und wunderschöne Sammlerstück zu einer aussergewöhnlichen Ergänzung für jede Kollektion. ---------------

C-print Switzerland, Gstaad (?), 1996 Gunter Sachs (1932-2011) - German-Swiss photographer Inscribed verso in felt pen 'persönlich von Gunther Sachs an Prof. Schilke überreicht' Dimensions of the photograph: 105 x 60 cm Good condition Provenance: Prof. Franz Schilke Gunter Sachs is one of the most famous German bohemians of present times. He passed away only recently, in 2011, and left behind a comprehensive body of photographic work; the auction record for a C-print by Gunther Sachs is currently set at higher than €250,000 In 1973, the works by German 'playboy' Gunter Sachs caused a stir for the first time, when one of his nude photographs was published by the French Vogue. Since then, he repeatedly devoted his work to famous female beauties. In 1996, he created this and a further portrait of top model Claudia Schiffer, which is also offered in this auction. This is a photograph of the painting. The 'blue' and the 'yellow' portraits of Schiffer make up a nice couple of high rectangular format. The photograph is verso inscribed in felt pen 'persönlich von Gunther Sachs an Prof. Schilke überreicht'. There are some scratches and soiling on the surface. The frame sits a little bit lose. The dimensions of the photograph are 105 x 60 cm and the total dimensions, including the frame, are 105.8 x 60.5 cm. Gunter Sachs (1932-2011) The son of an industrialist, Gunter Sachs became known in the 1960s and 1970s primarily by his extroverted lifestyle and numerous liaisons. His diverse interests brought him not only to photography, but also to the documentary film, to art collecting, astrology and bobbing. Sachs, among others married with Brigitte Bardot, opened a gallery in Hamburg in 1972, where he showed works by Andy Warhol, his close friend. In 1974, he was the official photographer of the Cologne 'Photokina', the most important international trade fair for photography. He began exhibiting his work internationally. In photography, Gunter Sachs focused on surreal nudes and landscapes. These have been published in several art books. He also dealt with the possibilities of digital photography from an early stage of his career. Sachs' work has been shown in over 40 exhibitions worldwide, including Hamburg, St. Petersburg, Leipzig, Moscow and Baden-Baden. Today, they achieve top prices at auctions worldwide.

Gunter Sachs (1932-2011), Large Triptych with Nude, around 2000
Est: €12,800 - €16,000
Three digital C-prints on photographic paper, mounted on Aludibond Switzerland, most certainly around 2000 Fritz Gunter Sachs (1932-2011) - German-Swiss photographer and documentary filmmaker Each signed 'Gunter Sachs' and inscribed 'EdA' (Épreuve d'artiste) on verso Dimensions with frame: 140.5 x 119.5 cm (2 x); 63 x 119 cm Very good condition Provenance: German private collection Gunter Sachs is best known for his surreal photographs of nudes and landscapes; his photographs fetch up to 250,000 euros at international auctions This photographic triptych of Gunter Sachs (1932-2011) is one of his typical, surreal nudes depictions. On the left sits a sleeping blonde beauty with short hair in a yet elegant pose on the ledge of a window with a view to the outside. The sky is covered with fleecy clouds, some of which tenderly hover around the athletic woman. A lightweight cloth covers parts of her legs. Right beside, the same cloth floats as if by magic through the air - from the portrait with bright blue sky over into the starry night with moonlight, until it lands again on the legs of the same woman, being displayed at night on the same window sill. With this sequence, Sachs has added a temporal and narrative component to the triptych. The model seems to be asleep day and night on one and the same window sill. In 1973, Sachs caused a stir with one of his works for the first time, when he presented a nude photograph in the French Vogue. Since then, he should devote himself to female nudes again and again. Sachs' works show a significant influence of digital and commercial advertising photography, especially in the symbolic use of signal colours such as blue and red. By using the motivic repetition, Sachs testifies his commitment with the works of his friend Andy Warhol. All photographs are signed 'Gunter Sachs' and inscribed 'EdA' (Épreuve d'artiste) on the back. They are in very good condition, showing only minimal signs of use. The left photograph is slightly damaged on the upper left side (barely visible). The anthracite-coloured frames are a little damaged in places. The large framed photographs measure 140.5 x 119.5 cm, the size of the small photograph being 63 x 119 cm (including the frame). The image sizes are 136 x 114 cm and 47 x 114 cm.
