Original photographs of Michael Jackson by Arno Bani It is in 1999 during a stay in London that Michael Jackson noticed Arno Bani's work in an issue of the Sunday Times magazine. Fascinated by his fashion shots, he brought the young 23 year old photographer to New York and asked him not only to photograph him, but also to define his look for the next ten years. This meeting will be followed by several working meetings and finally a three-day photoshoot at the Malakoff studios in the southern suburbs of Paris. These photographs, supposed to serve as an illustration for the Invincible album cover, were claimed by Michael Jackson's record company and were not revealed to the public until 2010, the year after the King of Pop's death. «This collaboration will finish Arno Bani's installation as one of the most talented photographers of his generation. Subsequently, he was contacted by fashion and luxury institutions such as Lacroix, Givenchy and Cartier and by musicians such as the duo Air, David Guetta and Bob Sinclar. At 25 years old, Arno Bani is a photographer recognised beyond the borders of fashion. Made of oppositions, mixing classicism and modernity, his monochrome approach to image is now inescapable and is seen on the pages of Citizen K, Spoon, Visionaire and Jalouse. He also photographed Monica Bellucci, Mélanie Thierry and Noémie Lenoir.» (Pierre Bergé et Associés sales catalogue, December 2010) Ten original photographic portraits of Michael Jackson with the embroidered golden cape [FRENCH VERSION FOLLOWS] Tirage original unique de cette double série photographique en couleursprésentée comme deux planche-contact, numérotées, datées et signées au verso par l'artiste à l'encre noire: "1/1, sept 2010, Arno Bani".

C'est en 1999 lors d'un séjour à Londres que Michael Jackson remarque le travail d'Arno Bani dans un numéro du Sunday Times magazine. Fasciné par ses clichés de mode, il fait venir le jeune photographe de 23 ans à New York et lui demande non seulement de le photographier, mais aussi de définir son look pour les dix prochaines années. Cette rencontre sera suivie de plusieurs réunions de travail et enfin d'une séance photo de trois jours dans des studios de Malakoff, en banlieue sud de Paris. Ces photographies, supposées servir d'illustration à la pochette de l'album Invincible furent revendiquées par la maison de disques de Michael Jackson et ne furent révélées au public qu'en 2010, année suivant la disparition du king of pop. « Cette collaboration achèvera d'installer Arno Bani comme l'un des photographes les plus doués de sa génération. Par la suite, il est sollicité par des institutions de la mode et du luxe comme Lacroix, Givenchy et Cartier ou par les musiciens du duo air, David Guetta et Bob Sinclar. À vingt-cinq ans, Arno Bani est un photographe reconnu au-delà des frontières de la mode. Faite d'oppositions, mélangeant classicisme et modernité, son approche monochromique de l'image est désormais incontournable et s'exprime dans les pages de Citizen K, Spoon, Visionaire ou Jalouse. Il photographie ainsi Monica Bellucci, Mélanie Thierry ou Noémie Lenoir. » (Catalogue de la vente Pierre Bergé et Associés, décembre 2010)

- 1969, 16,8x21,6cm, carnet en spirales. - Handwritten personal diary for the year 1969 1969 | 16.8 x 21.6 cm | spiral-bound notebook Personal diary handwritten by Maurice Béjart, written in a 1969 diary celebrating the centenary of the birth of Mahatma Gandhi. 52 handwritten leaves, written in red and blue pen in a spiral-bound notebook. This diary features amongst Béjart's very rare, privately owned manuscripts, the choreographer's archives being shared between his house in Brussels, the Béjart foundation in Lausanne and the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie. The choreographer Maurice Béjart's diary written during the year 1969. An extremely rare collection of thoughts, questions and introspections from the point of view of Hinduism and Buddhist wisdom, which Béjart adopts following his first trip to India in 1967. The diary is an emblematic testimony of the indo-hippie era of the 1960s, spiritual and artistic renaissance that inspired numerous ballets of the choreographer (Messe pour le temps présent, Bhakti, Les Vainqueurs). A selection from this diary was published by Maurice Béjart in the second volume of his memoirs (La Vie de Qui ? Flammarion, 1996). During the year 1969, Béjart wrote daily notes in a diary published in memory of Mahatma Gandhi. Fascinated by Hindu mysticism since his trip to India in 1967, he filled in this spiritual journal with numerous mantras and prayers ("Krishna guide my chariot, the light is at the end of the path. OM"; "Buddha is everywhere"; "Let God enter, but how to open the door") and he calls upon the Hindu deities as well as the Bodhisattvas Mañju?r? et T?r? - soothing figures of the Buddhist pantheon. Béjart's "Indian period" was particularly rich in choreographic masterpieces, the progress of which can be followed in his diary (Baudelaire at the beginning of the year, the first performance of the Vainqueurs in Brussels and the Quatre fils Aymon in Avignon, as well as the filming and screening of his Indian ballet Bhakti). At the crossroads of New Age and the hippie movement, Béjart's "conversion" is symptomatic of an era that refuses progress and has a thirst for spirituality: "Calcutta is not India, but our western face. It is not religion or traditional thinking that is to blame, but capitalism. India, a rich country before colonisation." The Beatle's visit to the guru Maharishi's ?shram and Ravi Shankar's concert at Woodstock in 1969 marks the beginning of a real western passion for Indian music and culture, which was decisive in Béjart's ballets at the time. In Béjart's eyes, India presents itself as a place where art and ancestral traditions have not suffered the perversions of positivity. In his creations he seeks to express the spirit of a culture that intimately links the body and the spirit, and in which dance plays a major cosmic and spiritual role. Included in his ballets were Indian dance systems and Vedic songs that were discovered thanks to Alain Daniélou - in 1968 he opened the Messe pour temps présent with a long vînâ solo that lasted fifteen minutes: "Béjart is in his Hindu quarter-hour. And over there, Hindu quarter hours, can last for hours..." commented Jean Vilar, director of the Avignon festival. A wave of Indian fashion also passes through the costumes of the Ballet du XXe siècle company: large silk trousers, tunics, jewellery and oriental eyes. In the diary, Béjart states that there is "no truth without yoga," an art discovered from an Indian master that can be found in many of his ballets in the form of dance exercises on the barre. He also decides to make Bhakti "an act of Faith" by filming himself the ballet choreographer, and during the summer he prepares the Vainqueurs, an unusual meeting between Wagner and traditional Indian ragas. Beyond the prolific artist, we also discover the choreographer's troubled personality in the diary, in the grips of doubt and melancholy: "vague state of physical weightlessness and moral emptiness. Lethargy or laziness. Weakness.
- 1920-1922, oeuvres : 23x30cm ; cadres : 38,4x48,6cm, trois feuilles sous cadres. - Three original gouaches around dance by Loïs Hutton. 1. Original gouache with dancers May 16th 1920 | work: 23 x 30 cm frame: 38,4 x 48,6 cm | framed leaf This early composition, one of the rare ones still preserved, attests to her modernism and total symbiosis with her choreography. The dominant curves of the bodies in this Gouache with dancers, dated "May 16th 1920" evokes the androgynous silhouettes of Matisse's round dance (La Danse, 1910), as does the choice of vibrant blue and dark ochre tints. A Cubist aesthetic appears in the movement of the dancers with their unrelenting symmetrical balance - while the boldly contoured kaleidoscopic designs betray the influence of Vorticism, whose members during the same period assiduously frequented the underground club of Loïs' lover, Margaret Morris. This work from the London era will find its fulfilment the following year in the choreographies created in France where the Margaret Morris School settle in the summer. The photographs of these sensational performances from Dinard to Cap d'Antibes show very similar compositions, notably one of the scenes of Hutton's ballet, entitled Étincelles, created in 1922 to music by Maurice Ravel. 2. Signed original gouache "Background design, 1922" 1922 | work: 26,5 x 36 cm frame: 40 x 50 cm one framed leaf One of the only original preserved stage decor sketches by Loïs Hutton, also one of the first of her career. This abstract composition reflects the artist's incredible versatility. She flourished both as a principal dancer at her lover's school, the Margaret Morris School as well as a choreographer, set and costume designer. These painted sets on large fabrics served as the backdrop to the school's dance troupe productions and solo dances by Loïs who had previously painted a design on canvas based on a sketch by her mentor the Fauvist painter John Duncan Fergusson. Trying her hand here at a radically new and ambitious style, her design joinsthe angular movements of her dances and is inspired by the teachings of Cézanne: "Everything in nature is modelled on the sphere, the cone and the cylinder" (letter to Emile Bernard). This vital attention paid to volumes goes hand in hand with a fragmentation of motives close to Edward Wadsworth's Vorticism. Hutton visited at that time Wadsworth and the group of Vorticists in Morris' Chelsea underground club, a laboratory of modern dance where the set in its large-format version may have been displayed in December 1921 or the following year as suggested by the two dates on the lower part of the composition and on the back. 3. Signed original gouache "Composition - Ground design of dance, fool's dance" may 22 1919 | work: 20 x 25,5 cm; frame: 30 x 40 cm | one leaf One of Loïs Hutton's rare abstract works, a horizontal and graphic exploration (entitled "Ground design") of her Fool's Dance choreography. A hypnotic solo dance that she performed for the first time in January 1920 to music by Edvard Grieg. In this interesting and innovative vision of dance, Loïs Hutton lays down the products of the force of her choreographic movements on paper: a ballet of lines and curves filled with vivid colours. This fluid and dynamic composition is marked out by a square with asserted outlines, acting as both a physical support for the painting and a material surface for the scene where its movements unfold - an essential space of creation to be compared with the "original plan" theorised several years later by Kandinsky in Point et ligne sur plan (1926). Presented at the Margaret Morris Club in Chelsea where her very first creations were born, Fool's Dance will be performed again at the Château des Deux Rives in Dinard in July of the same year. It earned Hutton one of her first mentions as a performer and choreographer in the French press, in the newspaper Comoedia on 20 July 1920, and marks the beginning of her notoriety in France.
