THE EVIL DEADOne Sheet (27" x 41"); Silk Screen Alternate Poster Signed by Bruce Campbell and Director Sam Raimi (JSA COA)Very Fine- Folded; Artwork by Mike Ditz New Line, 1983This might be the most significant modern horror poster in existence! This special poster was printed exclusively to promote the first-ever 16mm screenings of "Evil Dead" at select theaters in 1980. This poster was created before the film was distributed nationwide in 1981. The poster is printed on a thicker paper stock using a silk screen. It features the iconic artwork by Mike Ditz and the film's original title, "Evil Dead." This is a pre-wide release poster from one of the independent or film festival screenings that Evil Dead underwent before its wide release by New Line Cinema. Notably, this poster bears the New Line logo, indicating it was likely used after the film's acquisition for distribution in early January 1983 but before its wide release in mid-April 1983. Given the few screenings during that period, this poster probably originates from one of two New York shows in May (as indicated by a Variety ad featuring the same artwork). Additionally, it's worth noting that the title is simply "Evil Dead," the name used before New Line rebranded it to "The Evil Dead" and switched to the now-iconic hand-art by M. Skilsky. The scarcity of this early, pre-wide release poster is truly remarkable! Signed by Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi (Dallas Fort Worth, TX) in 2019.

Born in Guadix but raised in Granada, the city where he spent his childhood and adolescence, and in whose school period he would make friends with Federico García Lorca and Manuel Ángeles Ortiz, and as an adult, with Juan Cristóbal, Falla and Andrés Segovia. In the Prado he practices as a copyist of El Greco, Titian, Hieronymus Bosch and Francisco de Zurbarán. It will be the still lifes of the latter and his visit in 1917 to the exhibition “Great French Impressionist Painters” at the Museum of Modern Art in the capital of Spain, who will later define part of his work. He returns to Granada and makes the cover of Impressions and landscapes by his friend the poet Federico García Lorca. In 1921 he went to Paris, where he settled irregularly, with eventual returns to his country. In Paris he saw his work recognized by Picasso, the publisher Tériade, and the poet, dealer and animator of the magazine Cahiers d'Art, Christian Zervos. In Spain he appeared in 1932, invited by the Society of Iberian Artists; That year he was recruited by Manuel Bartolomé Cossío to participate in the "Circulating Museum" or "People's Museum" of the Pedagogical Missions, together with Blesa, Fernández Mazas or Eduardo Vicente, coordinated by Ramón Gaya in the task of copyists of singular works. On September 28, 1933, he married Susana, Zervos' first wife, in Cannes, with whom he traveled to Spain from Bilbao to Madrid and from here to Granada in 1933. In 1934 he was a witness at the marriage of Georgette and César. Vallejo. In 1937 he participated in the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris International Exhibition. He had his last major exhibition in 1952. He died in Paris at the age of seventy. There is news of two anthological exhibitions after his death, one in 1968 at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, and another in Spain in 1976, organized by the bank of Granada, a city in which he has a street dedicated to him. Related works: two still lifes by the Andalusian artist preserved in the Raina Sofía Museum. Provenance: old family collection from a mansion in the South of Spain.
Bronze sculpture representing a figure in deep meditation, possibly reflecting a moment of introspection or contemplation. The rough texture and dark finish of the bronze give the work a sense of gravity and solemnity. Signed by the artist Josep Bofill, this sculpture is a clear example of modern Spanish art, where form and emotion merge to create a work that invites reflection. 36x17x14
This Spanish rosary, created in the 20th century, is designed with black glass beads that evoke a sense of sobriety and penitence. The beads are arranged on a silver chain that emphasizes the simplicity and solemn character of the object. The crucifix, made of silver with an austere and refined design, is a manifestation of contemporary sacred art, where form and function merge in perfect balance. This rosary is an example of how traditional liturgical elements can adapt to modern aesthetic sensibilities, maintaining its devotional purpose while presenting with a touch of elegance and discretion.
Oil on canvas, measurements: 85 x 63 cm, frame measurements 100 x 75 cm. The present work can be considered a representation made by an anonymous New Spain, made between 1620 and 1630, of the dedication of the Virgin of Solitude, whose devotion was taken to the New World by the order of the Servites. Its festival dates back to 1413, in Cologne, when it replaced the celebration of the Virgin of Pasmo - whose iconography sparked controversy when theologians saw her syncope or fainting as not in keeping with Mary - and thus counteracted the iconoclastic movement of the followers of John Huss. . The cult and celebration spread throughout the Ancien Regime throughout Europe and Latin America. Provenance: important private collection, property of an important collector, Spain.

Williams co-founded the Caribbean Artists Movement with other London-based Caribbean artists and intellectuals, such as Ronald Moody, Stuart Hall and Orlando Patterson. His artwork is currently in the collection of the Tate in London, the Arts Council, the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and the Bristol Museum and Gallery, among others.

Walter Langhammer, Austrian 1905-1977 - Temple in India; watercolour and pencil on paper, signed lower right 'W Langhammer' and dated in Devanagari, 36 x 47.5 cm (unframed) (ARR) Note: Austrian born Walter Langhammer was one of the foremost patrons and critics of the Bombay Progressive Artists’ Group. Born in Graz in 1905, Langhammer fled to India with his Jewish wife Käthe Urbach in 1938, shortly before the Second World War. Although their initial time in the country was turbulent, with the couple being arrested by the British and interned in different cities, they were released once their political leanings were confirmed through evidence in the form of Langhammer’s caricatures. Walter and Käthe set up a studio in their apartment at Nepean Sea Road in Bombay, and became an active part of the artistic community of the city. Langhammer secured a position at The Times of India as the newspaper’s first Art Director, and every Sunday, held an open salon for artists to discuss their work. He exposed the young Progressives to European and Indian art and encouraged them to examine and dissect these paintings. According to S H Raza, “He used to put in front of me paintings by Raphael, El Greco, Monet and Cezanne; paintings of the Persian, Rajput and Mughal miniatures and he would say, ‘Look at these paintings and tell me what is happening there.’ It was a tough job but it was an eminent awareness of form which started developing in me which I started to follow in time to come.” (Quoted in Yashodhara Dalmia, The Making of Modern Indian Art: The Progressives, New Delhi: Oxford University Press, 2001). Langhammer’s own artistic practice flourished in India, and he exhibited frequently at the Bombay Art Society. His fellow émigré and art critic Rudolf von Leyden, reviewing one of Langhammer’s exhibitions at the University Convocation Hall in Bombay in 1945, wrote, “The creative play on the sheer beauty of colour has been the preoccupation of many artists, past and present… for years he has struggled to break down the fence and reach the realm of pure colour… I would not be surprised if the impact of Indian light and colour on his artistic temperament has accelerated the process and will continue to influence it.” (Dalmia) Langhammer was also an influential member of the Bombay Art Society Committee, and collaborated with Kekoo Gandhi, who founded Chemould Art Gallery, to design frames of a superior quality for individual artworks. He maintained that modern Indian art had great potential and would continue to grow.As Langhammer’s health deteriorated, he returned to Europe with his wife. He died in 1977.
