A UNIQUE COLLECTION OF EARLY DRAWINGS & SCULPTURES
NOVEMBER 30, 2015
Curated by Frédéric Thut

PREFACE
“Cárdenas belongs to a group of kindred spirits who during the 20th century have made
sculptures an intellectual activity, “a mental thing” according to Leonardo’s principles, but
without cutting off contact with beauty, beauty that discovered its fundamental truth in the
primitive art of Africa, native America and the Pacific. Thus the true peers of Cárdenas are
Brancusi, Arp and Henry Moore…”
José Pierre, Paris, 13 September 1988
Fine Art Auctions Miami (FAAM) is honored to present the first curated auction dedicated
to a private collection of drawings and sculptures of famed Cuban sculptor, Agustín
Cárdenas.
This season we have decided to start our week of Art Basel sales by paying homage to one
of the major figures of modern sculpture. The following exhibition examines the early
stages of the artist’s career with his first studies in Fine Art while he was still a scholar in
Cuba, all the way to his middle-age modernist and avant-garde style sculptures, which
were influenced by the work of Constantine Brancusi, Hans Arp and Henry Moore.
This unique Collection of early drawings, sculptures, photographs and archives, built
over time by the artist’s sister in law in Cuba, was acquired by the present collector after
Cárdenas’ death.
The visitor will be able to experience the artist’s creative process by taking a look at
figurative sketches that later influenced the artist’s first abstract sculptures carved before
leaving for Paris in 1955. The letters and correspondences his family preserved show the
emotional attachment between the artist and his relatives while he was abroad and his
desire to return to his motherland to spend the remainder of his life.
Harmony, voluptuous curves, femininity and sensuality are dominant themes present in
the artist’s works. The drawings and sculptures in this curated auction are full of intimacy
and vitality. We hope that this collection reflects the importance that is due to Agustín
Cárdenas in the history of art.
We hope you enjoy the exhibit.

Cárdenas was born on April 10, 1927 in Matanzas, Cuba, a city on the island’s Western
coast.
Son of a tailor, Cárdenas was exposed to the human form from an early age, and the
proportions he learned are evident in his work as an artist. Cárdenas’ father quickly
recognized his son’s artistic ability and supported him through his Fine Art studies at the
“Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes San Alejandro”from 1943 to 1949 under the supervision
of mentor Juan José Sicre – a former student of Antoine Bourdelle.
During his years at the Fine Art Academy, Cárdenas was chosen by Sicre to assist him in
his academic endeavors. Sicre always encouraged his creativity and talent throughout his
studies and greatly influenced his artistic growth.
It is interesting to notice the physique of the young Agustín around 1945, at the age
of 18; he was an accomplished athlete
1
and his passion for sports had an impact in his
artistic research.
He studied the Ancient Greek and Roman sculpture’s torsos and busts as well as the
representation of the body in the 30s, which is how Cárdenas developed his Classical
style. His sketches and drawings depicting athletes and the male figure (p.25-31) often
highlight their beauty, importance, or a heroic quality.

MOTHER & CHILD
“A work must have first of all a vitality of its own…
independent of the object represented”
Henry Moore, 1934
“Mother and Child” has been a beloved theme in
Cárdenas’ career. His first drawings and sketches show
stout, plump and curvaceous women. José Pierre
believes that Cárdenas’ sculptures are representative
of men’s ideal of female beauty in Cuba at the time.
2
Wood was Cárdenas’ medium of choice to carve
sensual, lyrical forms that depict the maternity theme
(p. 38-53; 136-137). In each piece, he always made a
point to highlight femininity and maternal warmth.
Most of the sculptures on display are accompanied
by the artist’s preliminary sketches and drawings,
revealing the various stages of Cárdenas’ artistic
process that started with a figurative and classical
drawing, but culminated with abstract sculptures,
both representing the same scene.

In 1952, Agustin Cárdenas began to explore the use of two colors in his sculptures. As
illustrated in the sculpture shown here, the artist applies white paint to create a contrast
with the dark wood. The use of black and white reflects the artist’s choice to later carve
marble instead of wood. These two opposite materials are respectively noble and
humble, but more importantly, they are the essence “of a desire for synthesis between
the maternal principle (stone) and the paternal principle (wood)”.

AFRICAN SPIRITUALITY - TOTEMS
“In his hands the wood ‘sings’ as it rarely has had the opportunity of doing….”
José Pierre
The arrival of Cárdenas in Paris, Christmas day of 1955, marked a moment that would
alter the course of his entire life. At the age of 28 he encountered André Breton, who, a
year later, invited Cárdenas to participate in his first Parisian exhibition at Galerie L’Etoile
Scellée. The exposure Cárdenas received from this show brought him international
recognition among surrealist artists and the Parisian art scene. During the years he spent
in Paris, Cárdenas sought to deconstruct the human form by carving sculptures that are
fluid, play with negative space and, while static, appear to move.
In the decade that followed, Cárdenas participated in approximately 100 group and 34
solo exhibitions, including Suzanne de Coninck and the Salon de la Jeune Sculpture. In
1957, and 1961, he took part in the Realités Nouvelles exhibition and in the International
Surrealist exhibition at Daniel Cordier Gallery, organized by André Breton and Marcel
Duchamp. He was awarded both Chevalier of Arts and Letters medal and the Bill and
Noma Copley Prize.
From 1968 to the early 1990’s, he lived and worked in the Parisian suburbs of Meudon-
Bellevue and Nogent-sur-Marne. Within this timeframe he was also inspired by his trips
to Canada, Austria, Israel, Japan, Korea and especially Italy. He spent each summer in
Tuscany - in Carrara where he sculpted marble and in the medieval city of Pietrasanta
where he carved the bronze in foundries.
In 1994, he returned to Cuba and lived in Havana until his death in 2001.

“[In Paris] I discovered what a man is… what African culture is… what it is to be a Negro.”
Agustín Cárdenas, La Gaceta de Cuba, 1967
“Here, sprung from his fingers, is the great flowering totem which, more efficiently than the
saxophone, arches the back of beautiful women.”
André Breton, Exhibition Preface at gallery La Cour d’Ingres
Paris, February 27, 1959
From the beginning of his artistic career, Agustín Cárdenas established his own creative
rhythm, whereby he invented organic and sensual sculptures. After he left Cuba, he
explored Surrealist tendencies, African spirituality and rituals, which led to his artistic
development toward abstract forms, influenced by the European environment.
While in Paris, Cárdenas discovered, due to his Afro-Cuban roots, a culture he always felt
tied to spiritually.
In 1957, he carved the first of many wooden sculptures inspired by elongated African
totems, which reflected his temper: humble and perfectly quiet in nature
3
. His works
glorified the material he used – wood – as well as its smell and texture. The artist’s eternal
quest was to find the balance between his early circular forms and those of his later
works, depicting the ascension between heaven and earth.

Bidders
4. Any person participating or registering for the Auction agrees to be bound by and
accepts these Terms and Conditions of Auction (“Bidders(s)”).
5. All Bidders must meet Auctioneers qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in
good standing of the Auctioneer may be disqualified at Auctioneer’s sole option and will not
be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by Auctioneer in its sole and unlimited
discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. Auctioneer
reserves the right to exclude any person from the auction.
6. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees

Credit
7. Bidders who have not established credit with the Auctioneer must either furnish
satisfactory credit information (including two collectibles-related business references) well
in advance of the Auction or supply valid credit card information. Bids placed through our
Interactive Internet program will only be accepted from pre-registered Bidders; Bidders who

Bidding Options
8. Bids in Auction may be placed as set forth in the printed catalog section entitled“Choose
your Bidding Method.”
9. Presentment of Bids: Non-Internet bids (including but not limited to podium, fax, phone
and mail bids) are treated similar to floor bids in that they must be on-increment or at a half
increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a
full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest fill or half increment and this
revised amount will be considered your high bid.
10. Auctioneer’s execution of certain high bids. Auctioneer cannot be responsible for your
errors in bidding, so carefully check that every bid is entered correctly. When identical mail
or FAX bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. To ensure the greatest
accuracy, your written bids should be entered on the standard printed bid sheet and be
received at Auctioneer’s place of business at least two business days before the Auction start.
Auctioneer is not responsible for executing mail bids or FAX bids received on or after the
day the first lot is sold, nor Internet bids submitted by telephone, mail, FAX, e-mail, Internet,
or in person once the Auction begins. Bids placed electronically via the Internet may not
be withdrawn until your written request is received and acknowledged by the Auctioneer
(FAX: 305-573-4245); such requests must state the reason, and may constitute grounds
for withdrawal of bidding privileges. Lots won by mail Bidders will not be delivered at the
Auction unless prearranged.
11. Caveat as to Bid Increments. Bid increments (over the current bid level) determine the
lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Bids greater than one increment over the
current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for
winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment.
Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only. No “buy” or “unlimited” bids will be
accepted.
The following Chart governs current bidding increments.
Current Bid…………. Bid Increment Current Bid…………. Bid Increment
12. If Auctioneer calls for a full increment, a bidder may request Auctioneer to accept a
bid at half of the increment (“Cut Bid”) only once per lot. After offering a Cut Bid, bidders
may continue to participate only at full increments. Off-increment bids may be accepted
by the Auctioneer at Auctions. If the Auctioneer solicits bids other than the expected
increment, these bids will not be considered Cut Bids.
Conduction the Auction
13. A “Minimum Bid” is an amount below which the lot will not sell. THE CONSIGNOR
OF PROPERTY MAY PLACE WRITTEN “Minimum Bids” ON HIS LOTS IN ADVANCE OF THE
AUCTION; ON SUCH LOTS, IF THE HAMMER PRICE DOES NOT MEET THE “Minimum Bid”,
THE CONSIGNOR MAY PAY A REDUCED COMMISSION ON THOSE LOTS. “Minimum Bids” are
generally posted online several days prior to the Auction closing. For any successful bid
placed by a consignor on his Property on the Auction floor, or by any means during the live
session, or after the “Minimum Bid” for an Auction have been posted, we will require the
consignor to pay full Buyer’s Premium and Seller’s Commissions on such lot.
14. The highest qualified Bidder recognized by the Auctioneer shall be by the Buyer. In
the event of a tie bid, the earliest received or recognized wins. In the event of any dispute
between any Bidders at an Auction, Auctioneer may at his sole discretion reoffer the lot.
Auctioneer’s decision and declaration of the winning Bidder shall be final and binding upon
all Bidders. Bids properly offered, whether by floor Bidder or other means of bidding, may
on occasion be missed or go unrecognized; in such cases, the Auctioneer may declare the
recognized bid accepted as the winning bid, regardless of whether a competing bid may
have been higher.
15. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any
bid, in its sole discretion. A bid is considered not made in “Good Faith” when made by an
insolvent or irresponsible person, a person under the age of eighteen, or is not supported
by satisfactory credit, collectibles reference, or otherwise. Regardless of the disclosure of his
identity, any bid by a consignor or his agent on a lot consigned by him is deemed to be made
in“Good Faith.”Any personal apparently appearing on the OFAC list is not eligible to bid.
16. Nominal Bids. The Auctioneer in its sole discretion may reject nominal bids, small
opening bids, or very nominal advances. If a lot bearing estimates fails to open for 40-60% of
the low estimate, the Auctioneer may pass the item or may place a protective bid on behalf
of the consignor.
17. Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer’s discretion (approximately
50%-60% of the low estimate). In the event that no bid meets or exceeds that opening
amount, the lot shall pass as unsold.
18. All items are to be purchased per lot as numerically indicated and no lots will be broken.
Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close, any lots from the Auction.
19. Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale in the event of nonpayment, breach
of a warranty, disputed ownership, auctioneer’s clerical error or omission in exercising bids
and reserves, or for any other reason in Auctioneer’s sole discretion. In cases of nonpayment,
Auctioneer’s election to void a sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to
pay Auctioneer its fees (seller’s and buyer’s premium) and any other damages or expenses
pertaining to the lot.
20. Auctioneer occasionally experiences Internet and/or server service outages, and
Auctioneer periodically schedules system downtime for maintenance and other purposes,
during which Bidders cannot participate or place bids. If such outages occur, we may at our
discretion extend bidding for the Auction. Bidders unable to place their Bids through the
Internet are directed to contact Client Services.
21. The Auctioneer, its affiliates, or their employees consign items to be sold in the Auction,
and any bid on those lots or any other lots. Auctioneer or affiliates expressly reserve the right
to modify any such bids at any time prior to the hammer based on upon data made known
to the Auctioneer or its affiliates. The Auctioneer may extend advances, guarantees, or loans
to certain consignors.
22. The Auctioneer has the right to sell certain unsold items after the close of the Auction.
Such lots shall be considered sold during the Auction and all these Terms and Conditions
shall apply to such sales including but not limited to the Buyer’s Premium, return rights, and
disclaimers.
Payment
23. All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars (including U.S> currency, bank
wire, cashier checks, travelers checks, and bank money orders, all subject to reporting
requirements). All are subject to clearing and funds being received in Auctioneer’s account
before delivery of the purchases. Auctioneer reserves the right to determine if a check
constitutes“good funds”when drawn on a U.S. bank for ten days, and thirty days when drawn
on an international bank. Credit Card (Visa or Master Card only) and PayPal payments may be

the following limitations: a/ sales are only to the cardholder, b) purchases are shipped to the
cardholder’s registered and verified address, c) Auctioneer may pre-approve the cardholder’s
credit line, d) a credit card transaction may not be used in conjunction with any other
financing or extended terms offered by the Auctioneer, and must transact immediately upon
invoice presentation, e) rights of return are governed by these Terns and Conditions, which
supersede those conditions promulgated by the card issuer, f) floor Bidders must present
their card.
24. Payment is due upon closing of the Auction session, or upon presentment of an invoice.
Auctioneer reserves the right to void an invoice if payment in full is not received within 7
days after the close of the Auction. In cases of nonpayment, Auctioneer’s election to void a
sale does not relieve the Bidder from their obligation to pay Auctioneer its fees (seller’s and
buyer’s premium) on the lot and any other damages pertaining to the lot.
25. Lots delivered to you, or your representative in the State of Florida, New York or other
states where the Auction may be held, are subject to all applicable state and local taxes,
unless appropriate permits are on file with Auctioneer. Bidder agrees to pay Auctioneer the
actual amount of tax due in the event that sales tax is not properly collected due to: 1) an
expired, inaccurate, inappropriate tax certificate or declaration, 2) an incorrect interpretation
of the applicable statute, 3) or any other reason. The appropriate form or certificate must be
on file at an verified by Auctioneer five days prior to Auction or tax must be paid; only if such
form or certificate is received by Auctioneer within 4 days after the Auction can a refund of
tax paid e made. Lots from different Auctions may not be aggregated for sales tax purposes.
26. In the event that a Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment(s), Bidder shall
pay the maximum statutory processing fee set by applicable state law. If you attempt to
pay via eCheck and your financial institution denies this transfer from your bank account,
or the payment cannot be completed using the selected funding source, you agree to
complete payment using your credit card on file.
27. If any Auction invoice submitted by Auctioneer is not paid in full when due, the unpaid
balance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law from the date of invoice until
paid. Any invoice not paid when due will bear a three percent (3%) late fee on the invoice
amount or three percent (3%) of any installment that is past due. IF the Auctioneer refers
any invoice to an attorney for collection, the buyer agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs,
and other collection costs incurred by Auctioneer. If Auctioneer assigns collection to its in-
house legal staff, such attorney’s time expended on the matter shall be compensated at a rate
comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys.
28. In the event a successful Bidder fails to pay any amount due, Auctioneer reserves
the right to sell the lot(s) securing the invoice to any under bidders in the Auction that the
lot(s) appeared, or at subsequent private or public sale, or relist the lot(s) in a future auction
conducted by Auctioneer. A defaulting Bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable costs of resale

carrier, accept risk of loss, and prepay shipping costs.
34. All shipping charges will be borne by the successful Bidder. On all domestic shipments,
any risk of loss during shipment will be borne by FAAM, LLC until the shipping carrier’s
confirmation of delivery to the address of record in Auctioneer’s file (carrier’s information is
conclusive to prove delivery to Bidder; if client has a Signature release on file with the carrier,
the package is considered delivered without Signature) or delivery by FAAM, LLC to Bidder’s
selected third-party shipper. On all foreign shipments, any risk of loss during shipment will
be borne by the Bidder following Auctioneer’s delivery to the Bidder’s designated common
carrier or third-party shipper.

days of shipment by Auctioneer.

award may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any claim must be brought
within one (1) year of the alleged breach, default or misrepresentation or the claim is waived.

prevailing party (party that is awarded substantial) and material relief on its claim or defense)
may be awarded its reasonable attorneys’fees and costs.

delivery process. Where such remedies are afforded, they shall be interpreted strictly. Bidder
agrees that any claim shall utilize such remedies; Bidder making a claim in excess of those
remedies provided in these Terms and Conditions agrees that in no case whatsoever shall

for all purposes the value of the lot.
