Bonhams : Rare Unseen Early Works by Yayoi Kusama in Single-Owner Sale at Bonhams New York

Infinity Net motif. Both were created in 1960, and offered
each with an estimate of $3,000,000 – 5,000,000. These early works are exceptionally rare due to Kusama's use of the colour red - almost all her other works of this period are white. The third painting in the collection,
Untitled, is a very early example of Kusama combining vibrant colours and the scale of the work lends an immersive quality, something that foreshadows the artist's later work such as her
Infinity Rooms.
The eight works on paper, executed by Kusama before she arrived in the United States in 1957, are corner stones of the artist's practice, laying the aesthetic groundwork for her career to follow. Painted when Kusama was in her twenties, the works show the genesis of her

Footnotes
Inspired by Carroll Shelby's success in shoehorning a Ford V8 into the AC Ace to create the Cobra, Rootes asked Shelby to perform the same trick with its Sunbeam Alpine sports car. Ford's 260ci (4.2-litre) 'Windsor' V8 was chosen, and even though this had 'only' 164bhp on tap it was approaching double the output of the contemporary Alpine's 1.6-litre four. The transplant radically transformed the car's character. Assembled by Jensen Motors and introduced in 1964, the Tiger kept the Alpine's basic layout but featured a stronger gearbox and rear axle plus rack-and-pinion steering. Vastly superior to its Alpine progenitor in performance terms, the Tiger stormed to 60mph in under ten seconds and peaked at around 120mph. Sadly, the model was killed off by Rootes' new owner Chrysler shortly after the revised 4.7-litre Tiger II was introduced in 1967. A little over 7,000 Sunbeam Tigers had been produced when the final cars rolled off the production line in 1968.

Bonhams : 1973 FIAT Dino 2400 Coupé Chassis no. 5817

•Immatriculée en France
Au milieu des années 1960, Ferrari avait besoin d'un moteur 2 litres de série pour la nouvelle Formule 2 et conçut la Dino à moteur central pour disposer d'un tel moteur. Devant l'énorme tâche que constituait la construction de 500 exemplaires dans l'année pour l'homologation, Ferrari demanda l'aide de Fiat, l'accord débouchant sur la construction du V6 Dino à quatre arbres à cames par ce dernier et sur un modèle inattendu pour Fiat.
Dévoilé sous la forme d'un spider à carrosserie Pininfarina au Salon de Turin en 1966, la Fiat Dino recevait le moteur 2 litres de 160 ch de façon conventionnelle à l'avant et se distinguait pour être la première Fiat à être dotée d'un moteur à quatre arbres à cames en tête et différentiel à glissement limité en série. Dotée d'une carrosserie en acier, la nouvelle Fiat recevait une boîte de vitesses Fiat à cinq rapports et une suspension avant indépendante à double triangulation et ressorts hélicoïdaux, un essieu arrière rigide et des freins à disque aux quatre roues. Un coupé à carrosserie Bertone, sur un empattement allongé, fit son apparition l'année suivante. En 1969, la cylindrée du V6 était portée à 2 418 cm3, et une boîte ZF, ainsi qu'une suspension arrière indépendante à bras oscillants longitudinaux de Fiat 130 étaient adoptées, la puissance grimpant à 180 ch (DIN) à 6 600 tr/min. Quelques retouches stylistiques mineures furent apportées, dans le cas du Spider elles se limitaient à la nouvelle grille de calandre, des inserts de caoutchouc dans les pare-chocs et des moyeux de roues différents, tandis que l'intérieur bénéficiait d'un passage de rapports amélioré et d'un tapis de coffre. Élégant moyen de transport pour quatre personnes, la Fiat Dino abattait le 0 à 100 km/h en quelque 8 secondes et atteignait les 210 km/h accompagnée de l'enivrant vacarme d'une Ferrari. La production prit fin en 1972.

Bonhams : Fereydoun Ave Shines a Light On Invisible Generation of Iranian Artists at Bonhams

In the mid-19th century Iran became home to a thriving contemporary art scene, with Tehran being West Asia's most active visual cultural centre. At the forefront of this was Fereydoun Ave (born 1945) – artist, designer, collector and art patron, Ave has devoted the last four decades to celebrating Iranian artists. Since the revolution in 1979 international sanctions on the country have made it difficult for Iranians to travel abroad and for westerners to access Iran, this has rendered a generation of artists underexposed, and invisible from the Western art World's gaze.
Bonham's New Day New Wave: Curated by Fereydoun Ave seeks to change that with works of 31 Iranian artists previously unseen on the market. The sale is online and runs from
