注意事項
Where Christie’s has provided a Minimum Price Guarantee it is at risk of making a loss, which can be significant, if the lot fails to sell. Christie’s therefore sometimes chooses to share that risk with a third party who agrees prior to the auction to place an irrevocable written bid on the lot. If there are no other higher bids, the third party commits to buy the lot at the level of their irrevocable written bid. In doing so, the third party takes on all or part of the risk of the lot not being sold. Lots which are subject to a third party guarantee arrangement are identified in the catalogue. On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in the outcome of the sale of certain lots consigned for sale. This will usually be where it has guaranteed to the Seller that whatever the outcome of the auction, the Seller will receive a minimum sale price for the work. This is known as a minimum price guarantee. This is such a lot. Where Christie’s has provided a Minimum Price Guarantee it is at risk of making a loss, which can be significant, if the lot fails to sell. Christie’s therefore sometimes chooses to share that risk with a third party who agrees prior to the auction to place an irrevocable written bid on the lot. If there are no other higher bids, the third party commits to buy the lot at the level of their irrevocable written bid. In doing so, the third party takes on all or part of the risk of the lot not being sold. Christie's compensates the third party in exchange for accepting this risk provided that the third party is not the successful bidder. The remuneration to the third party may either be based on a fixed fee or an amount calculated against the final hammer price. The third party may also bid for the lot above the irrevocable written bid. Where the third party is the successful bidder, the third party is required to pay the hammer price and the buyer's premium in full. Third party guarantors are required by us to disclose to anyone they are advising their financial interest in any lots they are guaranteeing. However, for the avoidance of any doubt, if you are advised by or bidding through an agent on a lot identified as being subject to a third party guarantee you should always ask your agent to confirm whether or not he or she has a financial interest in relation to the lot.

曾受過古典藝術訓練的尼古拉斯.帕蒂出生於瑞士,他最為人著稱之處,在於他成功復興傳統肖像畫、靜物寫生和風景畫,讓人耳目一新。作畫時,帕蒂將多餘的細節從主題身上移除剔淨,使圖象能讓人一眼識透。描繪程度的精確與否並非是他在意的重點;反之,他將焦點放在形狀、顏色、媒材和構圖上,帶領觀者到一個夢般異境,創作充滿超現實的比喻意涵。帕蒂對藝術史鑽研甚深,喜愛嘗試各種創作媒介的無盡可能:畫作、雕塑、粉彩和裝置藝術均是他的實驗對象。創作過程中,他把靜物主角、物件和風景畫幻化成充滿感染力和魅惑的象徵,重新定義圖像表意的概念。帕蒂在2009 年畢業於蘇格蘭的格拉斯哥藝術學院,自那時起,他就前景看俏,在世界各地的藝術機構舉辦大型個展,像是中國北京的木木美術館(2018 年)、比利時布魯塞爾的馬格里特博物館(2018 年),美國華府的赫須巨集博物館(2017年),以及洛杉磯的漢墨美術館(2016 年)。

《彩岩》(2016 年作) 是一幅謎樣的粉彩風景畫,以帕蒂所著稱的鮮豔顏彩和平面、圖示的表象所創成。帕蒂先構築了低調、藍灰色的背景,岩石形狀隱晦未清,鬆散地層疊著,其用色不是柔和溫暖、就是大膽豔麗,相映成趣。或許因為帕蒂有3D 動畫和塗鴉藝術的背景訓練,他能巧手創造重量和容積的幻覺,卻又不會使他構圖中獨有的平板效果受到影響。較小、較圓潤的石型物安置於畫布底處,低調無害;而高屹的山丘則從後方聳立而現,像是被誇張扭曲的倒懸漏斗。此畫的主題看似宏偉浮華,但隱隱散發著某種輕盈、詼諧感,頗有英國畫家大衛.霍克尼和比利時超現實主義畫家雷內·馬格利特的氣韻。

帕蒂對藝術史的學程向來留心體會,因此他將風景畫傳統轉譯成當代創作時,均有獨到之處。當人問起他的創作手法時,他答道,「我試著以非原創的主題作畫。就是那些曾經被人源引、而且現在仍持續被擷取的主題。」( 尼古拉斯.帕蒂,引述自F. 塔多利的訪談:〈與瑞士畫家尼古拉斯.帕蒂暢敘〉《森林之果》2016 年12 月) 岩石這主題,向來在藝術史上佔有獨特搶眼的地位:在中國山水畫中尤其如此,而岩石的形狀和功能幾乎未曾改變。《彩岩》雖然指涉過往,但其山形的輪廓卻無時代或地區的聯想,在過去和未來之間的混沌邊境中擺盪著。而這恆久的特質恰恰是讓帕蒂神往的主因:他與創作媒材的限制和歷史重量間不斷拉鋸,從而創造出一幅既似曾相識卻又新鮮的作品。

帕蒂在其他創作實踐上也堅守原則,不會從生活中繪出山水風景。反之,他想像中的具象元素衍生了豐富、卻精選的藝術語彙,而他徜徉其中找尋靈感。19世紀晚期的法國後印象派畫家亨利.盧梭,經常描繪無歷史記載的風景作品,簇葉蓊鬱、各種動物出沒其中,既純真又原始;而帕蒂就延承這樣的畫風,將觀者領往玄幻唯美的想像寰宇。其他藝術史上對帕蒂帶來重大影響的前驅,還包括了巴布羅.畢加索、費利克斯.瓦洛頓、同屬瑞士出身的費迪南.霍德勒、和喬治.莫蘭迪。最後者著名的靜物寫生,構圖洋溢著詳謐專注,對帕蒂帶來源源不絕的靈感。這種承襲在這幅作品中尤其顯而易見:執行手法看似簡單,卻散發著某種謎樣氛圍。
