Sotheby's In Lundon 3 - 10 June, 2007:
Following the success of the first exhibition of the Hippo Service held
in New York, Sotheby's is delighted to present the exhibition in its
London saleroom at Olympia
The Hippo Service, commissioned from Royal Copenhagen by Richard Baron
Cohen is probably the most important commissioned service the last 100
years. Painted on the 'Flora Danica' shape with its distinctive serrated
rim, the service comprises 144 pieces hand painted with 303 different
views of hippopotamuses, alone or in family groups, taken from original
photographs of hippos in a 101 zoos from 33 countries around the world.
Each piece is titled on the reverse in the distinctive Royal Copenhagen
script with the name of the hippo or hippos, the name of the zoo and its
home city and country.
Richard Baron Cohen is a collector of important antique neoclassical
porcelain, as well as a longstanding member of Hippolotofus — The
International Hippo Society — and it is the combination of these two
interests that has provided the inspiration for the Hippopotamus Service.
Having long admired the design and quality of Royal Copenhagen's
well-known Flora Danica service, the factory was chosen by Cohen to
undertake his commission as he believed that only Royal Copenhagen
decorators had the precision painting skills necessary to successfully
undertake such a project. The result is a service unparalleled in modern
times, which continues a tradition of commissioned services that can be
traced back to the early Eighteenth Century.

Raffinesse & Eleganz
Königliche Porzellane des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts aus einer
amerikanischen Privatsammlung
Ausstellung vom 28. July 2007 bis 4.November 2007

Zwischen reichen Ornamenten gibt es minutiös gemalte Geschichten
zu entdecken, die beste Unterhaltung versprechen: ein Pferderennen
in Paris um 1811, hüftschwingende Tänzerinnen auf Haiti 1821, die
Entdeckung der Eisinseln durch Captain Cook oder ein Überfall auf
Wanderer im Schwarzwald.
Eine spektakuläre amerikanische Privatsammlung klassizistischer
Porzellane der Manufakturen Wien, Berlin und Sèvres steht im
Zentrum der Ausstellung, die erstmals die übergreifenden
Verbindungen der drei Manufakturen zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts
darstellt.
Die mit großem Enthusiasmus, gleichwohl in aller Stille in den
vergangenen fünfzehn Jahren geformte "Twinight Collection New
York" vermittelt anhand kostbarer Porzellane - fast ausnahmslos
königliche bzw. kaiserliche Geschenke - künstlerische Einflüsse
und technische Innovationen jener Epoche. Zahlreiche Entwürfe und
Vorlagen aus dem KPM-Archiv (Land Berlin) ergänzen die Kunstwerke
aus Porzellan.
Nach Berlin wird die Ausstellung in verkleinerter Form zu sehen sein
