Two Catalan Drinkers, from: The Suite Vollard | Deux Buveurs Catalans: La Suite Vollard, by <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/search?query=Pablo+Picasso&amp;pfilters.dateRange=upcoming" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pablo Picasso</a>, 1934.<ul><li>Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973).</li><li>Etching on Montval laid paper with Vollard watermark.</li><li>Hand signed.</li><li>This work is presented unframed.</li></ul> This original etching is hand signed by the artist "Picasso" at the lower right. It was printed in by Lacourière in a limited edition of 250 impressions and published by Ambroise Vollard, Paris. This is the 9th plate in La Suite Vollard, Picasso's most important series of etchings, and was realized on 29th November 1934. With the Henri Petiet number “376” in the lower left corner. The Suite Vollard, created between 1930 and 1937, was named after its publisher, the French art dealer and critic Ambroise Vollard. Picasso and Vollard shared a close working relationship up until 1910; however, after this date Vollard was no longer Picasso’s dealer though the two continued to collaborate on publishing projects. In 1930, Vollard, encouraged by the success of two earlier ventures, ambitiously commissioned 100 plates from Picasso and by 1937 the plates were completed and given to master printer Roger Lacourière to print. The entire edition comprises 3 copies on parchment, 50 copies on larger format Montval paper (50 x 38 cm.) and 250 on smaller format Montval paper 44.5 x 34 cm.). Tragically, Ambroise Vollard died in a car crash on 22 July 1939 leaving the project temporarily suspended, until a greater part of the edition was purchased by the print dealer Henri Marie Petiet. After World War II, Petiet engaged Picasso to sign a certain number of sets, and this continued up until 1969 but ceased with the publication of the 347 Series. Hence, a large number of the prints from the edition of 250 remain unsigned. Please note: This item is excluded from complimentary shipping. Shipping quote will be calculated at time of purchase.

Morton A. Mort, from: Expressionist Woodcut Series, by <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/search?query=Roy+Lichtenstein&amp;pfilters.dateRange=upcoming" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Roy Lichtenstein</a>, 1980.<ul><li>Roy Lichtenstein (American, 1923-1997).</li><li>Woodcut in colors with embossing on Arches wove paper.</li><li>Hand signed, numbered and dated.</li><li>This work is presented unframed.</li></ul> This original woodcut in colors with embossing is hand signed in pencil "R. Lichtenstein" at the lower right margin. It is dated ‘80’ [1980] next to the signature. It is also numbered in pencil from the edition of 50, at the lower right margin. There were also 13 numbered artist’s proofs aside from the standard edition. The subject was printed by James Reid and Christine Fox at the studio of Gemini, G.E.L., Los Angeles, where it was also published. The paper bears the blindstamp of the publisher in the lower left margin and the inkstamp, verso. This work is often misidentified as a lone landscape within the portfolio of seven woodcuts, which are figurative in nature, however, Morton A. Mort is also a cleverly disguised portrait. Taking the form of a name, the title is a play on the Latin phrase ‘mort on amort’ meaning [death upon death], or ‘on the cusp of death’. With this in mind, the perceived alpine landscape transforms into the face of a reclining figure, with their mouth open ‘on the cusp of death’. This makes this composition special within the series as it truly embodies the German Expressionist interest in the human condition, the inevitability of death and the brevity of life. The Expressionists themselves were directly inspired by another longstanding artistic tradition ‘memento mori’ – used since Classical times as a reminder to enjoy life. Other impressions of this subject are held in the collections of LACMA, California (Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art), MoMA, New York (Museum of Modern Art, New York, The National Gallery of Art, Washington, The San Francisco Museum of Art, California and Saint Louis Art Museum, Missouri.

Gritty, restless and full of attitude, it announced Scorsese as a major force and remains a landmark of modern crime cinema. Issued for London’s legendary Academy Cinema, this poster carries the extra cachet of one of Britain’s great repertory venues, famous for championing the most exciting world and independent cinema of the day. Peter Strausfeld was central to that identity, creating hand-crafted posters that stood apart from standard film advertising and have since become highly collectible in their own right and this is undeniably one of his best and most coveted.

<ul><li>Retained for Italian press use when new and featured in&nbsp;Quattroruote&nbsp;magazine in 1984.</li><li>Recent mechanical servicing carried out by Thomas Mark’s Specialist Cars.</li><li>One of just 200 examples built for Group B homologation.</li><li>£265,000 GBP | Asking.</li></ul> By 1986, Peugeot’s formidable 205 Turbo 16 had emerged as the car to beat in the World Rally Championship, despite firm competition posed by Audi and Lancia. In just three years, the charismatic 205 Turbo 16 had fittingly taken sixteen WRC wins from 26 starts and consecutive Drivers’ and Manufacturers’ titles; its progress only halted by the enforced abandonment of Group B regulations at the end of 1986. Peugeot took advantage of the technical freedom and comparatively modest homologation requirements of Group B to produce 200 road-legal 205 Turbo 16s. Bearing only a passing resemblance to the production 205, the Turbo 16 was a masterpiece of packaging; its rear-mounted, 1.8-liter turbocharged engine operating in conjunction with a complex viscous-coupled four-wheel drive system beneath a hinged, racing-style rear clamshell. At approximately 200 horsepower, the Turbo 16’s output was barely half that of its competition counterpart, yet 60 mph was still achieved in under seven seconds en route to a top speed of 132 mph. Designated for press use by Peugeot in Italy in the autumn of 1984, this 205 Turbo 16 was subsequently featured in Italy’s most celebrated automotive magazine,&nbsp;Quattroruote&nbsp;(November 1984, pages 256-265). Former Formula 1 driver Ivan Capelli was sent on their behalf to drive the car as intended, and the extraordinary photographs in the article show the car being used as intended. Documents on file from the Automobile Club d’Italia confirm it was this very car bearing the registration number MI 64806W shown in the pages of&nbsp;Quattroruote. Whilst the succeeding years of the car’s history within Italy are not known, in 2015, the car received a major service by R3-Rally Racing Rent of Vezano Sul Crostolo in Reggio Emilia, which included fitting new shock absorbers, brakes, and brake servo. Imported into the UK in 2016, a further gearbox rebuild was carried out by Lyle Armstrong the following year. The car was acquired by the current owner in 2017. Although remaining largely in static storage, the car was driven regularly to ensure it always remained in running order, with MoTs on file from 2015 to 2019 and 2021, as well as the most recent being undertaken in March of 2026. Earlier in the year, the car was entrusted to Thomas Marks Specialist Cars for a mechanical recommissioning. This work totaled to just over £14,500 and the invoices are available in the car’s history file. At the time of cataloging, the odometer it showing just over 12,500 km from new, which is believed to be original. Truly one of the most fascinating homologation specials to come out of Group B racing, the 205 Turbo 16 is arguably the most exciting and sought after Peugeot of its era, a true wolf in sheep’s clothing that begs to be driven as its manufacturers intended. This example’s appearance in&nbsp;Quattroruote&nbsp;certainly makes it stand out from the rest and thanks to its recent recommissioning, it is ready for its next adventure.

<ul><li>Retained by Mercedes-Benz France for press use and kept in their collection for fifteen years.</li><li>Featured in articles in&nbsp;Auto Hebdo&nbsp;and&nbsp;Echappement&nbsp;when new, as well as&nbsp;Option Auto&nbsp;in 2002.</li><li>Recently driven 500 km by a member of the RM Sotheby’s Private Sales team.</li><li>Just 47,500 km from new.</li><li>Legendary homologation special; paved the way for Mercedes-Benz to claim two DTM Constructors’ titles.</li><li>£275,000 GBP | Asking</li></ul> Considered by many to be the quintessential homologation special, Mercedes-Benz’s 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II sits at the top of the totem pole of the W201 family of Mercedes-Benzes. While there were numerous changes under the skin from the Evolution I that preceded it, it was the bodywork of the ‘Evo II’ that got all of the attention thanks to the towering rear wing, imposing flared arches, and aggressive front splitter, bringing DTM looks and performance to the street. That being said, the mechanical changes were certainly nothing to scoff at. The Evo II’s engine was co-developed between Cosworth and Mercedes-Benz, boasting an increased displacement of 2.5-litres with four valves per cylinder bringing power to 235 bhp alongside a 7,800 rpm redline. Power was managed through a Getrag five-speed dogleg gearbox. Those wide arches housed a stiffer adjustable suspension with larger brakes, better tyres, as well as uprated anti-roll bars, firmer bushings, stiffer dampers, and a limited-slip differential. Bearing serial number 004 as shown on the gear shifter, this Evo II was delivered new to Mercedes-Benz France where it was retained for press use in 1990 and 1991. During this time, it appeared in articles in both&nbsp;Auto Hebdo&nbsp;(April 1991, pages 42-49) and&nbsp;Echappement&nbsp;(August 1990, pages 24-29) magazines. A photocopy of the original French registration remains on file, showing the car’s original French registration number of 7343 WG 78, which can be clearly seen on the car in both of the aforementioned articles. More than a decade after the car leaving the factory, the car was again featured in a comparison test in&nbsp;Option Auto&nbsp;magazine (June 2002, pages 98-106), comparing the then-new W203-generation C32 AMG with the Evo II. Amazingly, rather than being sold after its press use in period concluded, this Evo II was retained by Mercedes-Benz France, and numerous invoices are on file made out to Daimler Chrysler France, attesting that the car routine looked after and looked after in their care. The Evo II was finally sold from Mercedes-Benz France’s care in 2005, some 15 years after the car had been first registered to their name, with the car’s first private owner become Mr. Theirry Gobin of St Georges de Didonne a town in the region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine on the coast in Southwestern France. At this point the car was reregistered 7575 YC 17 and had been driven some 29,000 km as of the spring of 2005. He would go on to own the car until December 2012, at which point the car was exported to Luxembourg. Acquired by the current owner in 2017, the car was imported from Luxembourg to the UK that same year. Although remaining largely in static storage, the car was driven regularly to ensure it always remained in running order, with MoTs on file from 2017 to 2023, as well as the most recent being undertaken in March of 2026. All of this is chronicled in the car’s history file, which also includes numerous services invoices from the car’s ownership Theirry Gobin in addition to Mercedes-Benz France. Most recently, the car received an oil change and a brake fluid flush in March of 2026. Following that, the car was driven by a member of the RM Sotheby’s Private Sales team from Newcastle down to London. When asked about the drive, he commented: “This was my first experience of driving a 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II or any Mercedes-Benz of this era. Having had the pleasure of driving a few CLK DTM AMGs, I was expecting a similar experience: a car that was stiff, unforgiving, and very much a race car for the road. This couldn’t have been further from the truth. I found the Evo II to be comfortable, spacious, and very easy to drive over long distances. The car’s race-bred personality comes alive when pushed, and it remains quick even by today’s lofty standards of performance. I could see no problems in daily driving an Evo II as it is a car that is as easy to drive as it is exciting to behold. I’m pleased to say this particular example didn’t miss a beat on our 500 km journey, happily devouring motorway miles with the A/C blowing cold on a warm spring day.” With only 502 Evo IIs examples built to homologate the model, this example stands out from the pack due to its fascinating early history, appearing in a trio of French magazine articles across Mercedes-Benz France’s 15 years of ownership. Showing just 47,500 km from new at the conclusion of its recent Newcastle to London road trip, it remains ready to be used and enjoyed.

Its influence on popular culture has never faded. At the heart of it all is James Dean. In his most legendary role, Dean brought a raw, restless charisma to Jim Stark that helped turn him into a screen legend. His image remains one of the most powerful in film history, and this poster is a brilliant showcase for that enduring appeal.

The Glass Floor represents an important formative work, illustrating themes and narrative techniques that would later come to define King’s career. Copies of this fragile pulp magazine seldom survive in collectible condition, having been produced as ephemeral reading material. The present example is further distinguished by King’s signature and dated inscription from 1982, a period during which he had already achieved international recognition, lending an added layer of historical interest. A scarce and evocative item, combining an early appearance in a now-elusive pulp publication with a contemporary authorial inscription.

With Luke, Leia, Han and Vader all at their most iconic, it remains one of the defining science-fiction films of all time. Ohrai’s artwork is a huge part of the appeal here, deemed one of the best designs for the title. Revered by collectors for his richly painted, epic style, he created some of the most dynamic imagery associated with the Star Wars universe. This design was only used on the Japanese promotional materials and select international posters, including Australia and on the scale of this Australian 1 sheet poster, Ohrai’s design looks simply spectacular.
