Giovanni Mataloni, Brevetto-Auer
Est: $2,400 - $3,000
Giovanni Mataloni Brevetto-Auer 1895 58.375 h x 38.75 w in (148 x 98 cm) Granted, the advertised product is a simple gas fixture, but the design makes this one of the most important—and most beautiful—early Italian Art Nouveau posters. The (admittedly, scantily clad) femme at center presents a sunflower in one hand while gesturing towards the magnificent levitating gas lamp with the other. Mataloni has imbued the image with intricate details, including the geometric tiled background, the organic elements wrapping around the border, and the mosaic-like texture of the upper register. This two-sheet design is a masterpiece of Italian poster art.

Il Mattino. 1896.
Est: $4,000 - $5,000
ARTIST: GIOVANNI MATALONI (1869-1944) SIZE: 46 x 64 5/8 in./116.8 x 164.2 cm PRINTER: Eseguito Cartografi, Roma DESCRIPTION: This sensuous, unencumbered two-sheet design is perhaps one of the most provocative newspaper promotions ever created. A larger-than-life nude basks by the seaside, her head reclining into the trees, her pose orgiastic, the earth beneath her fertile. The sun, anthropomorphized, gazes upon her either with longing or wonder. Is she Eve, relishing in sin? Or is she Gaea, giving birth to all the landscapes and creatures of Earth? We may never know, but Mataloni's design for the daily newspaper Il Mattino is a remarkable example of Italian Art Nouveau tinged with Jugendstil—and an artist's vision of unbridled dynamism. Rare!

ARTIST: GIOVANNI MATALONI (1869-1944) SIZE: 41 1/4 x 79 1/4 in./104.7 x 201.5 cm PRINTER: Armanino, Genova DESCRIPTION: Working in his standard heroic size and vein (though usually with more text than this), Mataloni announces an exhibition in conjunction with the opening of the Venice-Simplon Tunnel. In this highly decorative two-sheet Art Nouveau design, an Amazonian figure—so magnificent that her crown is Milan’s entire St. Ambrose cathedral—stands in front of the tunnel, flanked by two hunky guardians.

Est: $4,000 - $5,000
ARTIST: GIOVANNI MATALONI (1869-1944) SIZE: 54 5/8 x 79 in./138.3 x 207 cm PRINTER: DESCRIPTION: La Tribuna, personified, bends over the shadowed Earth, about to inscribe upon the new day with a quill. From her tapestried dress, we gaze upward to her feather-winged headdress—as if Mercury's winged sandals had become Shakespeare's "wings of imagination and speed of thought." A superb work of art, right down to the typography, features imagery and chiaroscuro familiar to fans of Metlicovitz and Dudovich. But Mataloni preceded both of those colleagues at Ricordi, where he arrived in 1890. Mataloni's famous Brevetto Auer poster (see previous lot) brought Art Nouveau to Italy in 1895; this magnificent piece returns us to the Italian Renaissance. This is the larger format of the poster, but without the bottom text sheet. (Art Nouveau; Literary; Italian)
