For Robert Bunting, it all started with a performance of The Nutcrackernot just any Nutcracker, but the great George Balanchines staging of the Tschaikovsky classic for the New York City Ballet. The spark lit by that performance ignited a life-long passion for ballet that widened to encompass the vast universe of both classic and modern dance and the magnificent collection of dance art and memorabilia now known as The Robert Bunting Dance Collection. As a young medical student and intern in New York in the 1970s, Dr. Bunting was exposed to the explosion of creativity within the dance world at that time, attending performances not only by his beloved New York City Ballet, but also by American Ballet Theatre, Martha Graham, Paul Taylor and Merce Cunningham, as well as international visitors like Londons Royal Ballet and Moscows Bolshoi Balleta list that continued to widen over the years to include Roland Petits Ballets de Paris, The Stuttgart Ballet, The Royal Danish Ballet, the Kirov. The work represented the genius of Massine, Lifar, Nijinska, Ted Shawn and Ruth St. Denis, Anthony Tudor, Frederic Ashton, Twyla Tharp, Alvin Ailey, and Buntings personal favorite, Jerome Robbins. The astonishing accomplishments of those companies and artists are the heart of The Robert Bunting Dance Collection as we see it before us today. Not just memorabilia of performances past, the documentation gives us the most direct, tangible connection to the work of these artists at the time of their creation, says Dr. Bunting, most visibly in the decors and costumes commissioned by the choreographers sensitive to their unique visions: Bakst, Benois, Gontcharova, Brard, Messel, Fini, Tchelitchew, Berman, Ter-Arutunian. Of course, some designs I treasure as souvenirs of performances I saw, he continues: Looking at Rouben Ter-Aruntunians dazzling costume design, I can still feel the delight that rippled through the audience as Edward Villella leapt onto the stage in Harlequinade. But even more importantly theyre evocations of performances I never could have seen. The splendor of The Sleeping Beauty in Baksts design for the costume of the Marchioness. The sophisticated elegance of Brards decor for Les Forains. The remarkable fluidity and grace of Isadora Duncans movement as captured by Abraham Walkowitz. It has enriched the life of Robert Bunting; now he is passing the legacy on to us.

N.B. The lure of New York City loomed large in Alexanders formative years. Born in the Midwest as Allen Smith, Alexander adopted the stage name of Christopher (Cris) Alexander in his teens, which spoke to his ambition for fame and fortune.1 Upon arriving in New York in 1938, he attended the Feagin School of Dramatic Art and studied at the American Ballet School. While he began his career as a Broadway actor in the 1940s, he is perhaps best remembered for his work as portrait photographer of friends in his milieu, including Martha Graham, Vivien Leigh, Andy Warhol, and Gloria Vanderbilt. In his later years, he was the official photographer for the New York City Ballet company, and from 1980 to 1986 was a senior photographer for Warhols magazine, Interview.2

Provenance: Attributed to the collection of Karin von Aroldingen, New York, in a handwritten note attached to the frame. N.B. In 1947, Ballet Theatre (now American Ballet Theatre) commissioned George Balanchine to choreograph Theme and Variations, based upon the final movement of Tschaikovskys Suite No. 3 in G Major, Op. 55. The New York City Ballet website provides the following commentary: In 1970, Balanchine decided to choreograph Tschaikovskys entire suite for New York City Ballet, incorporating Theme and Variations as the ballets fourth and final movement with only minor revisions. The scenery and costumes were designed by Nicolas Benois, son of Alexandre Benois, the designer of many early ballets commissioned by Diaghilev, with the first three movements danced in a softly lit ballroom, which transforms for the grandeur of the ballets final movement.1 The ballet premiered in December 1970, at the New York State Theater at Lincoln Center. In an online video excerpt from the ballet on the NYC Ballet Web site, one can catch a glimpse of the bottom of Benoiss chandelier in the center of the set.

Cocteau wrote of Nijinskys animal grace: with his slender young torso contrasting with overdeveloped thighs, he is like some Florentine, vigorous beyond anything human, and feline to a disquieting degree. For the 1911 Ballets Russes season Cocteau designed two posters of the same size, the other depicting the ballerina Tamara Karsavina as the young girl in Mikhail Fokines ballet Le Spectre de la Rose (Lot 343).1
