The Robert Bunting Dance Collection
For Robert Bunting, it all started with a performance of The Nutcracker—not just any
Nutcracker, but the great George Balanchine’s 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 London’s Royal Ballet and Moscow’s Bolshoi Ballet—a list that continued
to widen over the years to include Roland Petit’s 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 Bunting’s 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, Bérard, Messel, Fini, Tchelitchew, Berman,
Ter-Arutunian. “Of course, some designs I treasure as souvenirs of performances I saw,”
he continues: “Looking at Rouben Ter-Aruntunian’s 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 they’re evocations of performances
I never could have seen.” The splendor of The Sleeping Beauty in Bakst’s design for
the costume of the Marchioness. The sophisticated elegance of Bérard’s decor for Les
Forains. The remarkable fluidity and grace of Isadora Duncan’s 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 Alexander’s 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
Warhol’s magazine, Interview.2

N.B. In 1947, Ballet Theatre (now American
Ballet Theatre) commissioned George
Balanchine to choreograph Theme and
Variations, based upon the final movement of
Tschaikovsky’s Suite No. 3 in G Major, Op. 55.
The New York City Ballet website provides the
following commentary: “In 1970, Balanchine
decided to choreograph Tschaikovsky’s entire
suite for New York City Ballet, incorporating
Theme and Variations as the ballet’s 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 ballet’s
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
Benois’s chandelier in the center of the set.

French poet and artist Jean Cocteau was
dazzled by the Ballets Russes and its star
dancer, Nijinsky, when they appeared in
Paris in 1909. Cocteau wrote of Nijinsky’s
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 Fokine’s
ballet Le Spectre de la Rose” (Lot 343).1

1953. In a description from the Margarete
Roeder Gallery that accompanies the lot, the
text explains that all elements of the dance
were arrived at by chance manipulation of
selected materials. Cunningham employed
this method to encourage the maximum play
of possibilities, beyond the ordinary range of
the choreographer’s imagination and memory.
The drawing at hand is a chart indicating the
entrances and exits from the third movement.

approached scenic design with the unfettered
freedom of a painter. Chantier, a project
for the Marquis de Cuevas Ballet, with
choreography by Ruth Page, exemplified this
approach. Previously Delfau had created many
successful designs both for the de Cuevas
company and for the Ruth Page Chicago
Opera Ballet. However, upon the death of the
Marquis Jorge de Cuevas in 1961, his dance
company was dissolved, leaving the Chantier
ballet unrealized.

of Etruscan tomb decoration and the hot,
luminous air of the Mediterranean.1 The

wearing a mask depicting the three ages of
man. The costume included a white loincloth
and a garnet red belt and wristbands, as
reported in Vogue Paris, July 1933.2

the highest successful bidder, Skinner Inc. may exercise all of its rights and remedies under the law including, without limitation, (a) canceling the sale and applying any
payments made by the purchaser to the damages caused by the purchaser’s breach, and/or (b) offering at public auction, without reserve, any lot or item for which the
purchaser has breached any of its obligations, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price, holding the purchaser liable for any deficiency plus all costs of
sale.
7. In no event will the liability of Skinner, Inc. to any purchaser with respect to any item exceed the purchase price actually paid by such purchaser for such item.
8. Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Upon request, our staff will provide the list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and
overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that include material from some endangered
species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities
is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots.
9. All purchases are subject to the Massachusetts 6.25% sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number. Exemption numbers
from other states are accepted in Massachusetts if presented with a business card or letterhead. Dealers, museums, and other qualifying parties can apply for a
Massachusetts exemption number prior to the auction by contacting the Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation at 100 Cambridge Street in Boston.
10. Except for property purchased via On-line Auctions, a premium equal to 20% of the final bid price up to and including $500,000, plus 12% of the final bid over
$500,000, will be applied to each lot sold, to be paid by the Buyer as part of the purchase price. The buyer’s premium on property purchased via On-line Auctions will
be in an amount up to 23% of the final bid price.
11. Bidding on any item indicates your acceptance of these terms and all other terms printed within, posted, and announced at the time of sale whether bidding in
person, through a representative, by phone, by Internet, or other absentee bid.
12. Skinner, Inc. and its consignors make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any
lot sold. Skinner, Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in this catalog. The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material
produced by or for Skinner, Inc. relating to a lot, including the contents of this catalog, is, and shall remain at all times, the property of Skinner, Inc. and shall not be
used by the purchaser, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent.
13. These conditions of sale shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law).
The buyer/bidder agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this agreement may be brought, and any action against Skinner in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this agreement shall be brought, in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any federal court sitting therein. The bidder/buyer consents
to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waives objections that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit.
