Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "Frank Borman and James Lovell" Signed lower right. Watercolor taped to Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover of the Dominica 25th Anniversary of the Moon Landing stamps issued July 26, 1994. Loaded with record amounts of fuel and supplies, Gemini 7 was the heaviest spacecraft yet to be launched by the United States when it lifted off on December 4, 1965. The extra provisions would be necessary if command pilot Frank Borman and co-pilot James Lovell were to set a new world endurance mark by orbiting the Earth for two weeks. But breaking records was just one objective NASA had in mind for Gemini 7. Some five weeks earlier, on October 25, Gemini 6 had been left at the launch pad because the Atlas-Agena rocket it was to rendezvous with had failed, breaking up before reaching orbit. With no target vehicle available, the Gemini 6 mission was put on hold indefinitely. However, NASA now had Gemini 7 in orbit and decided that it could act as a target for Gemini 6. So on the morning of December 15, astronauts Walter Schirra and Thomas P. Stafford were launched into orbit aboard Gemini 6. Just six hours after liftoff, the two spacecraft were less than two miles apart. Fifteen minutes after that, they were within 20 feet of each other. Photographs later revealed that the two spacecraft had come as close as two or three feet. The rendezvous was an amazing success. Gemini 6 splashed down the next day. Borman and Lovell completed their two-week mission aboard Gemini 7, splashing down on December 18, holders of a new world record for time spent in space.Image Size: 7 x 6.25 in.

A GRAY SCHIST FIGURE OF A WINGED ATLAS, ANCIENT REGION OF GANDHARA, 3RD - 4TH CENTURYThe atlant squats with his right leg raised, his toes outstretched, his right hand resting on his knee and his left still holding part of the superstructure which was originally located above him. His face superbly carved with almond-shaped eyes below bushy furrowed brows and full bow-shaped lips, framed by thick tufts of hair, flanked by his large wings.Provenance: An old private collection in France. Acher Eskenasy, Paris, France, acquired from the above in 2001. LP Collection Paris, France, acquired from the above. Acher Eskenasy is a noted French scholar and collector of Asian and tribal art. Major works previously owned by him are now in important collections and museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Musee du Quai Branly in Paris. Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, losses, nicks, scratches, structural cracks, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations. With an old sand-colored pigment coating.Weight: 8,241 g (incl. stand) Dimensions: Height 30.5 cm (excl. stand) and 35.5 cm (incl. stand)With a fitted wood stand. (2)Only a few sculptures communicate so clearly the classical legacy in Gandharan art. His mature, bushy face recalls the portraits of Greek and Roman gods and leaders, while his Herculean musculature evokes the athletic ideal. Furthermore, the atlant type stems from a tradition in classical architecture of depicting male and female figures supporting architectural superstructures best known from The Ten Books on Architecture by Vitruvius, dedicated to Emperor Augustus (see Rowland, Vitruvius: Ten Books on Architecture, Cambridge, 1999, pages 83 and 135).In the Gandharan context, similar examples in stucco surviving in situ line the veneer of stupa bases at Taxila and Hadda, recording the placement of such figures at Buddhist sites. Whilst maintaining a similar function and a clearly Western look, the Gandharan version differs from the classical prototype in the common inclusion of wings and the primarily ornamental rather than architectural function of the figure. Moreover, while we have evidence from which to understand his context at Buddhist sites, his precise identity remains a mystery. He has been called a disguised yaksha, a lesser Greek god, and a Garuda, yet there is no archaeological or textual foundation to underpin any of these claims (see Foucher, L'art Greco-Bouddhique du Gandhara, 1905, page 208, and Errington, The Western Discovery of the Art of Gandhara and the Finds of Jamalgarhi, London, 1987, page 67). Perhaps, the term “Atlas” ties him too closely to the classical prototypes, at the risk of obscuring added layers of meaning in the unique Gandharan context.Literature comparison: For a further discussion of winged Atlas figures from Gandhara, see P. Pal, Asian Art at the Norton Simon Museum, vol. 1, fig. 35, p. 68. For similar examples of winged “Atlas” figures, see W. Zwalf, A Catalogue of the Gandhara Sculpture at the British Museum, 1996, pp. 206-211, fig. 355-368. Two other examples survive in the Claude de Marteau collection in Brussels and the Peshawar Museum (see Kurita, Gandharan Art, vol. II, Tokyo, 1990, figs. 448 & 453, pp. 155 & 157).Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Bonhams New York, 17 March 2014, lot 66 Price: USD 245,000 or approx.

Pal, ，《Asian Art at the Norton Simon Museum》，卷1，圖35，頁68。一件相似的阿特拉斯像，見W. Zwalf，《A Catalogue of the Gandhara Sculpture at the British Museum》，1996年，頁206-211，圖355-368。兩件例子現存於布魯塞爾的Claude de Marteau collection和白沙瓦博物館(見Kurita，Gandharan Art，卷II，東京，1990年，圖448和453，頁155和157)。 拍賣結果比較： 形制：非常相近 拍賣：紐約邦瀚斯，2014年3月17日，lot 66 價格：USD 245,000（相當於今日EUR 280,000） 描述：西元三至四世紀犍陀羅灰色片岩阿特拉斯像 專家評論：請注意尺寸較大(40 厘米)。 拍賣結果比較： 形制：非常相近 拍賣：紐約佳士得，2007年3月21日，lot 238 價格：USD 12,000（相當於今日EUR 15,500） 描述：西元二至三世紀犍陀羅灰色片岩阿特拉斯像 專家評論：比較主題、雕刻風格和材料。請注意尺寸稍小(28.5 厘米)。

Jh., mahagonifarbenes Holzgehäuse, Uhrenkopf mit bekrönendem Atlas, Bogenfeld mit Mondphase, farbige Malerei, versilberter Zifferring auf rankenverzierter Messingfront, bezeichnet Johannes Coelombie Haarlem, separate Sekunde, Datums-, Monats- und Tagesanzeige, abstellbares Musikwalzenwerk mit 12 Melodien auf 17 Glocken, Glocke für Halbstundenschlag und Glocke für Stundenschlag abstellbar, Minutenrepetition, mit drei messingummantelten Gewichten und einem Pendel, Uhrwerk läuft an, H. 260 cm , Gehäusedekor mit kleinen Fehlstellen.Neben seiner Tätigkeit als Hersteller hochfeiner Zeitmesser hat der Haarlemer Uhrmachermeister Johannes Coelombie (1732 - 1805) vor allem durch sein posthumes Wirken als Philanthrop von sich Reden gemacht. Mit seinem Testament von 1804 verfügte er, dass sein Nachlass von 16.000 Gulden bis zum Jahre 1999 angelegt werden solle und alsdann zur Errichtung von Fabriken und Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen für Haarlems Arme eingesetzt werden möge. Bis 1999 kamen so 9,2 Millionen Gulden zusammen, auch wenn mit der russischen Revolution 1917 und dem Börsenkrach 1929 zwischenzeitlich herbe Rückschläge verzeichnet werden mussten. Nachdem diese Summe nicht für die Errichtung moderner Fabrikationsanlagen ausreichend war, wurde sie auf mehrere kirchliche Wohltätigkeitsorganisationen verteilt, welche die bis heute in Haarlem befindliche Coelombie-Stiftung ins Leben gerufen haben.Eine ähnliche Standuhr mit der Signatur "Johannes Coelombie" befindet sich im Amsterdamer Frans Hals Museum.
