Selected Highlights:

• Sarcophagus. Egypt, Third Intermediate Period, Thebes (Deir el-Bahari?), 21st Dynasty. Circa 1000 B.C. Wood with extensive gesso and polychrome. This impressive Egyptian mummy case from around 1000 B.C. belonged to a chantress at the Temple of Amun in Thebes. Among the finest of its kind still in private hands, the mummy case is remarkable for its superb condition and the fine quality of the lavishly painted images, which illustrate sacred texts from the Book of the Dead. -Safani
  
  
• The Farwell Building Chandelier, by Tiffany Studios. Circa 1915. Glass and bronze. This "Indian Pattern" chandelier features an elaborate pattern of deep blue, mottled red, orange and yellow glass tiles. The present example is one of three similar chandeliers designed by Tiffany Studios for the entrance hall of the Farwell Building in Detroit, Michigan, designed by the Detroit architectural firm of Rogers & Bonnah and opened on March 8, 1915. By the early 1970s the Farwell building stood vacant and it was eventually donated to the Detroit Historical Society and is on the National Register of Historic Places. -Macklowe Gallery
  

• Little Girl in a Large Red Hat, by Mary Cassatt. Circa 1902-05. Oil on canvas. Around 1900, Mary Cassatt added a new type of composition to her repertory: the young girl seated alone or with a dog. Inspired by 17th century Dutch and Flemish portraits as well as English portraits of the Romantic period, Cassatt updated the genre by drawing her models from the families of local servants. Nevertheless, she instilled her sitters with a strong sense of presence and dignity. This work was once part of the famed collection of Antonio Santamarina, a cattle rancher and a leader of Argentina's Democratic Party. -Adelson Galleries
• Vessel in the form of the Prince of Flowers. Aztec. Circa 15th-16th century. Redware. This vessel, most likely made for royals given its fine workmanship, was used as a pulke (tequila) holder. Among its unusual features are press molds representing various gods in the Aztec pantheon. Its shape suggests the bulb or root of an agave plant. -Throckmorton Fine Art, Inc.
• Armchair, designed by Gerald Summers. 1934. Birch plywood. Made from a single rectangle of airplane plywood, Summers achieved with this Modernist work what his counterparts across Europe and Scandinavia had been striving for: it describes in the simplest term the ideal unity of material, production, function and form. -Peter Petrou Works of Art
• Autograph Letter, signed by Audrey Hepburn. January 6, 1982. Three pages. This letter written to her father's second wife, Fidelma, exemplifies the kindness for which Hepburn was famous. -Kenneth W. Rendell Gallery
  

Macklowe Gallery is excited to be included on an upcoming segment of the Martha Stewart show. The segment will feature pieces from the book “Chairs” by Judith Miller. Ms. Miller selected three chairs from Macklowe Gallery for inclusion in her book, including a lovely French Art Nouveau side chair by Léon Jallot seen on page 124 of “Chairs” and to be seen this Thursday October 15 at 11a.m. on the Martha Stewart Show airing on NBC. A stunning example of the Art Nouveau style, the walnut chair has gracefully carved organic rose motifs, whose leaves, thorns, and petals snake up the sides of the chair, however understated in their elegance. This particular chair has been vibrantly re-upholstered in a fabric resembling butterfly wings. Macklowe Gallery will be included in the special thanks credits, and the chair will triumphantly return to the gallery, just in time for viewing during our Tiffany mosaic week and special book signing.
