    Mar. 05, 2025

    Adolfo Hohenstein, Onoranze a Volta

    Est: $1,700 - $2,000

    Adolfo Hohenstein Onoranze a Volta 1898 43 h x 20.5 w in (109 x 52 cm) Two young women with symbols of manual labor (a shuttle and a washboard) place a wreath around the cameo of Alessandro Volta to indicate their gratefulness for the electricity that liberated them from menial tasks. The poster is for an exhibition of electrical products being held in honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Volta, the inventor of an instrument for measuring electricity (voltmeter), and the man who defined a single unit of it, a volt, as "the electron drive force which, when applied to the conductor with the resistance of one ohm, produces a current of one ampere." That so impressed Napoleon that he made him a count as well as a senator of Lombardy. This is the smaller format. G. Ricordi, Milano Literature: Ricordi, 157; Riccione, 3; PAI-XXXVI, 353 This work will ship from Lambertville, New Jersey.

    ARTIST: ADOLFO HOHENSTEIN (1854-1928) SIZE: 25 x 38 5/8 in./63.5 x 98.2 cm PRINTER: Ricordi, Milano DESCRIPTION: This lithograph for the 1896 debut of Puccini's “La Bohème” is one of the reasons Hohenstein is known among Italy's great poster artists.

    Tosca. ca. 1899.

    Est: $2,000 - $2,500

    ARTIST: ADOLFO HOHENSTEIN (1854-1928) SIZE: 9 3/4 x 13 5/8 in./24.8 x 34.5 cm PRINTER: G. Ricordi, Milano DESCRIPTION: This variant of Hohenstein’s famous poster was printed for a piano score cover. The image depicts the dramatic climax of the opera. Scarpia, the police chief, has asked for Tosca’s love in exchange for the release of her arrested lover, Cavaradossi. She goes along with his proposal on the basis that he will forgive Cavaradossi, to which he agrees. But as soon as she receives the pardon, she stabs the police chief and places two candles beside him and a crucifix on his chest. But even so, the other guards have continued following orders to kill Tosca’s lover; she throws herself off a high wall to her death. This murky melodrama, full of high passion and double-crosses, was originally a stage play by Victorien Sardou in 1887, written expressly for Sarah Bernhardt. Why Puccini, who was known for composing lyrical, gentle music, was attracted to such a tragic piece is not clear, but his opera, which premiered in Rome on January 14, 1900, quickly became a classic—as did Hohenstein’s incredibly dramatic poster.

Condition B: extensive overpainting in margins; repaired tears, creases and overpainting in image and along vertical and horizontal folds. Three-sheets. Framed. Hohenstein designed this monumental and beautifully ornate poster for the National Hygiene Exhibition in Naples. Touting the benefits of fresh air and water, Hohenstein illustrates a "Fountain of Life," being enjoyed by a Classically-styled nude family, with a peacock at their side. Set off by gold ink background, florals and undulating decorative frames, the rich blue ink of the poster further emphasizes the element of water. The swirling lines separating the text from image are reminiscent of the artist's poster of the same year for Monte Carlo / Tir Aux Pigeons (see Swann sale 2467, Lot 222). The small, later version of this large-scale poster was printed in the commemorative Ricordi portfolio in 1914. Ricordi 161, Manifesti p. 60.

    La Bohème. 1895.

    Est: $5,000 - $6,000

    ARTIST: ADOLFO HOHENSTEIN (1854-1928) SIZE: 24 7/8 x 38 5/8 in./63 x 98 cm PRINTER: Ricordi, Milano DESCRIPTION: This lithograph for the 1896 debut of Puccini's “La Bohème” is one of the reasons Hohenstein is known among Italy's great poster artists. The great spill of human figures reminds us of Chéret, but rather than fantastical sprites, we have the real-world cross-section of humanity, from the top hat gentry in the upper right to the bohemian lovers at lower left. Hohenstein's typography, as well, has become synonymous with the character of 1890s Italy. It’s a treasure of the graphic arts by any standard. (Art Nouveau; Opera; Italian)

  • Tosca. 1899.

    Tosca. 1899.

    Est: $15,000 - $20,000

    ARTIST: ADOLFO HOHENSTEIN (1854-1928) SIZE: 52 3/4 x 112 1/2 in./134 x 285.8 cm PRINTER: G. Ricordi, Milano DESCRIPTION: This spectacular three-sheet poster depicts the dramatic climax of the opera. Scarpia, the police chief, has asked for Tosca’s love in exchange for the release of her arrested lover, Cavaradossi. She goes along with his proposal on the basis that he will forgive Cavaradossi, to which he agrees. But as soon as she receives the pardon, she stabs the police chief and places two candles beside him and a crucifix on his chest. But even so, the other guards have continued following orders to kill Tosca’s lover; she throws herself off a high wall to her death. This murky melodrama, full of high passion and double-crosses, was originally a stage play by Victorien Sardou in 1887, written expressly for Sarah Bernhardt. Why Puccini, who was known for composing lyrical, gentle music, was attracted to such a tragic piece is not clear, but his opera, which premiered in Rome on January 14, 1900, quickly became a classic—as did Hohenstein’s incredibly dramatic poster. Rare! (Art Nouveau; Opera; Italian)

    Monaco / Exposition de Canots Automobiles. 1900.

    Est: $10,000 - $12,000

    ARTIST: ADOLFO HOHENSTEIN (1854-1928) SIZE: 33 1/4 x 48 in./84.5 x 122 cm PRINTER: Ricordi, Milano DESCRIPTION: Hohenstein’s design for a motorboat exhibition and race is simple but spectacular: from aboard a boat, looking across the bows of a smart helmswoman, we see the waters off Monaco teeming with craft and sparkling in the sun. The artist returns to his trademark method for balancing the visual interest of a distant background versus a large format figure, which in this case is a charming lady: he allots most of the color to the former, and renders the latter in a few sparse lines and the brown of the paper.
