"Paris#Marrakech II": On December 30, Artcurial closes the auction year with French and African artworks in Paris and Marrakech.

ArtcurialAuction

In 1917, French painter Jacques Majorelle discovered Marrakech, its landscape, colors and light. 100 years after his arrival, the artist who created the famous Jardin Majorelle is again on everyone's lips. Just recently, the newly opened Yves Saint Laurent Museum dedicated a special exhibition to him, and at the end of the year, the artist is now at the center of the auction "Paris#Marrakech II" of the French auction house Artcurial, which will take place on December 30, 2017 in Paris and via live conference simultaneously in Marrakech.

Up for auction are 70 works by Majorelle and his contemporaries, plus African contemporary art. With "Le Marché aux dattes" from the 1940s and "Les Allamates, Marrakech", two particularly important paintings by Majorelle are in focus. The most expensive lot, however, could be the painting "Le Khôl" by Majorelle's contemporary Étienne Dinet; Artcurial estimates its value at up to 380,000 euros.

Jacques Majorelle Kasbah de Tasgah, valée de Télouet (Grand Atlas), 1940-1941, 120.000 to 180.000 Euro.

A plus-energy house by sps-architekten in Upper Austria that harnesses the power of nature

A plus-energy house by sps-architekten in Upper Austria that harnesses the power of nature Not far from Salzburg is a house built entirely of wood. The facade, seen from a distance in front of the wooded mountain slopes, may hardly come as a surprise. Only when viewed up close does the three-story residential and office building by sps-architekten turn out to be a truly outstanding project in which nature - both functionally and aesthetically - is the be-all and end-all. "Oh" is a term one hears more often in connection with the Austrian office sps-architekten. However, the short word is not an exclamation of astonishment, but the dialect expression for the Fuschler Ache, a low mountain range river, which forms an idyllic landscape here and already had an important economic function for its riparians in the past. Energy of the elements If architect Simon Speigner is to be believed, the river could regain its importance, and so Speigner located his architectural office o

Jeff Koons designs a BMW - the artist in interview Ten years after his Art Car, Jeff Koons designs a BMW again - this time in an edition of 80 pieces. A conversation about speed, Nietzsche and the perfection of white beer foam. Jeff Koons designs a car again ten years after his BMW Art Car. This time you can also buy it. A Jeff Koons does not let himself be thwarted. Even when everything came to a standstill in the spring, he flew across the pandemic to deserted Munich to complete his edition of the M850i on site with BMW engineers. Even after a ten-hour day at the factory, Koons, the millionaire artist, is amiably focused. He answers quietly and always Solomon-like. Tomorrow he is to test drive his car. He smiles. A beer, please! Jeff Koons on the creation of his BMW Edition Are you a fast driver? Oh, in the U.S. I drive a little over the limit. But when I lived in Germany, I enjoyed pushing the gas a little more. The fastest I could go was maybe 235 kilometers per hour. What

Individual elements for the kitchen from bulthaup

Individual elements for the kitchen from bulthaup Luxurious playground The Milan showroom of bulthaup in Via Durini in Milan was buzzing these days. No wonder, the Bavarian kitchen manufacturer presented three concepts at once at Eurocucina 2014. One of them is the Solitäre - elaborately crafted and technical-looking individual elements that cover three functions in the kitchen: food preparation, the presentation of tableware and cooking utensils, and waste separation. The design is reminiscent of an earlier bulthaup product, the Butcher's Block . While the rollable waste separation element is made of aluminum and is normally in a closed state and only folded out when needed, the preparation and presentation elements stand out with an open design. The fixed geometric grid of beveled metal struts can be customized with various shelves, grids and storage elements. On the thick wooden plate of the preparation element, it is certainly allowed to tinker and cut. However, for those
