VALLARINO FINE ART 222 EAST 49TH STREET NEW YORK, NY 10017 FINE ART VALLARINO VALLARINOFINEART.COM ABSTRACT ADDICTIONS: .. .WHAT’S NEXT ....WHO KNOWS?.... .WHAT’S MODERN/POST-WAR ABSTRACT ADDICTIONS: 2020 WHAT’S NEXT.... WHO KNOWS?.... 2020 MODERN/POST-WAR 222 EAST 49TH STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10017 212.628.0722 66 ROUTE 343, MILLBROOK, NEW YORK 12545 [email protected] VALLARINOFINEART.COM ABSTRACT ADDICTIONS: WHAT’S NEXT....WHO KNOWS?.... What’s Next…..Who Knows?? Is a very fitting subtitle for our annual catalogue. What has happened in the past four-five months seems unimaginable, then again, it could be a blessing in disguise, a kind of wake-up call for all of us. Our global treatment of humanity, our planet’s environment, economic collapse, civil rights and politics have caused a boiling point in our society and then add the Covid-19 Pandemic to top things off and there you have “What’s Next…..Who Knows? One thing I know is art and the art market has literally been around forever and has weathered centuries of wars, economic crashes and many other global disasters and will continue to prevail perhaps in new ways to which it will need to reinvent itself. I believe a correction is taking place as has happened in every market throughout history when strained by historic events. The brick & mortar gallery model is becoming a thing of the past and the existence of art fairs in the near future is questionable regarding the current health situations for the dealers and the collectors who attend. I believe that a large group of galleries are going to close as their business models aren’t strong enough to survive these extreme times. It is my opinion the galleries that will prevail are the ones who have “skin in the game”, own what they sell and have weathered difficult times before. These are the individuals who have spent their lives deep within the passion of art. I have been in the art business for the past 50 years and own everything we sell as we believe in our expertise through our knowledge, scholarship and taste which is reassured by our experience and foresight. Fifteen years ago we became a private gallery because it was apparent that our audience was focused on what we owned and represented making our business intimate and personable unlike many larger galleries. We have a beautiful 3,000 square foot townhouse located at 222 East 49th Street next door to Kathryn Hepburn’s old residence. There you will find our in-situ viewing with mid-century furnishings as one would in their own home instead of a white box gallery setting. VFA also has a 6,000 square foot studio in Millbrook, New York 85 miles north of the city in the Hudson River Valley which was originally VINCENT VALLARINO part of Henry Flagler’s family’s estate. (shown in photos on left) Our two private destination locations are PRINCIPAL, the perfect settings for viewing our vast inventories of Post War and Modern Art in the most private and [email protected] safe accommodations one could dream of. MASHA STROGANOVA DIRECTOR, VFA’s annual catalogue is our signature statement that no other gallery comes close to producing. It shows [email protected] our vast inventories along with our taste and vision revealing itself. We are now deep in production of a JORDAN HUTTON series of short films regarding what we do, how we do it and will focus on the wonderful works of art we STUDIO MANAGER, [email protected] possess. Once again, our goal is to produce something uniquely our own showing how art has been part of our lifestyle over the past fifty years. ETHAN VALLARINO CONSULTANT, For me art is the purist addiction that exists, and overtime have realized that its eclectic relationship with [email protected] color, form and space connect everything in mysterious ways. Once again, we have put our heart and VANESSA VALLARINO soul into what we believe to be a complete statement for you to appreciate. Hopefully our passion and PROJECT DIRECTOR, enthusiasm will fuel your quest to absorb new ideas as the mystery of art unfolds around you. [email protected] I continue to believe that the future is all about the past.

THURSDAY OPEN UNTIL 7:30 P.M. ALWAYS FREE OFF KILTER, ON POINT ART OF THE 1960s FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION ABOUT THE COLLECTION Drawing on the museum’s longstanding strength in 20th-century art of the United States and Europe and including long-time visitor favorites and recent acquisitions, Off Kilter, On Point: Art of the 1960s from the Permanent Collection highlights the depth and breadth of artworks in the museum permanent collection. The exhibition showcases a wide range of media and styles, from abstraction to pop, presenting novel juxtapositions that reflect the tumult and innovations of their time. The 1960s marked a time of undeniable turbulence and strife, but also a period of remarkable cultural and societal change. The decade saw the civil rights movement and the Civil Rights Act, the Cuban missile crisis, the Vietnam conflict, political assassinations, the moon landing, the first televised presidential debate, “The Pill,” and, arguably, a more rapid rate of technological advancement and cultural change than ever before. The accelerated pace of change was well reflected in the art of the time, where styles and movements were almost constantly established, often in reaction to one another. This exhibition presents most of the major stylistic trends of art of the 1960s in the United States and Europe, drawn from the museum’s permanent collection. An art collection began taking shape at CSU long before there was an art museum, and art of the 1960s was an early focus.

    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS American Paintings, 1900–1945 Stuart Davis American, 1892 - 1964 Study for "Swing Landscape" 1937-1938 oil on canvas overall: 55.9 × 73 cm (22 × 28 3/4 in.) framed: 77.8 × 94.6 × 7 cm (30 5/8 × 37 1/4 × 2 3/4 in.) Corcoran Collection (Museum Purchase and exchange through a gift given in memory of Edith Gregor Halpert by the Halpert Foundation and the William A. Clark Fund) 2014.79.15 ENTRY Swing Landscape [fig. 1] was the first of two commissions that Stuart Davis received from the Mural Division of the Federal Art Project (FAP), an agency of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), to make large-scale paintings for specific sites in New York. The other was Mural for Studio B, WNYC, Municipal Broadcasting Company [fig. 2]. [1] The 1930s were a great era of mural painting in the United States, and Davis, along with such artists as Thomas Hart Benton (American, 1889 - 1975), Arshile Gorky (American, born Armenia, c. 1902 - 1948), and Philip Guston (American, born Canada, 1913 - 1980), was an important participant. In the fall of 1936, Burgoyne Diller (American, 1906 - 1965), the head of the Mural Division and a painter in his own right, convinced the New York Housing Authority to commission artists to decorate some basement social rooms in the Williamsburg Houses, a massive, new public housing project in Brooklyn. A dozen artists were chosen to submit work, and, while Davis’s painting was never installed, it turned out to be a watershed in his development.

This is why Statesmen, and more generally the leaders, always have the objective and concern to leave for posterity or to strengthen big cultural institutions. As proof of this we can quote, as examples, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the British Museum, the Monastery of Escorial or the many American Presidential Libraries which honor the memory of the various Presidents of the United States. Since the Holy Roman Empire and, notably, in Europe during the Renaissance times cultural sponsorship has been increasingly active for the sake of art or for the sense of splendor. Nowadays, if there is a country where sponsors have a constant and decisive presence in the world of the art, this is certainly the United States. Names given to museum rooms in memory of devoted sponsors, as well as labels next to the paintings noting the donor’s name, are a very visible aspect of cultural sponsorship, especially in America.

  • The Newark Museum of Art Presents Major Retrospective of American Abstract Painter Norman Bluhm

    The Newark Museum of Art Presents Major Retrospective of American Abstract Painter Norman Bluhm

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Tamisha Hallman, Winning Strategies Public Relations Phone: 973-799-0200, e-mail: [email protected] The Newark Museum of Art Presents Major Retrospective of American Abstract Painter Norman Bluhm Partnership with the artist’s estate to organize Norman Bluhm: Metamorphosis February 13 - May 3, 2020 NEWARK, NJ – In February 2020 The Newark Museum of Art opens Norman Bluhm: Metamorphosis, an exhibition showcasing five decades of the artist’s abstract paintings. One of the most forceful American painters of the post-war period, Bluhm, who was born in Chicago in 1920, was a central figure in both the Parisian and New York art worlds. He is revered for his grand-scaled canvases in which he combines vigorous and expressive brushwork with a lavish sense of color and formal experimentation. The first museum exhibition to explore the full range of his prolific career, Norman Bluhm: Metamorphosis is an unprecedented, overdue reconsideration of his artistic production, with works dating from 1947 to 1998. With many examples from the artist’s estate, along with loans from public and private collections, the exhibition features 46 paintings and works on paper, including a number of rarely seen late works. Epically scaled, these multi-panel paintings from the 1990s will occupy two floors of the museum. “We are thrilled to present the provocative Norman Bluhm: Metamorphosis as the first major exhibit to debut under our institution’s new branding,” said Linda C. Harrison, CEO and Director of The Newark Museum of Art. “Visitors will be awestruck by the scale of this showcase and inspired by the vibrancy of Bluhm’s work.” A transnational artist with global interests, Bluhm’s creative output reflects his multidisciplinary interests in mythology, poetry, and world history.

Fusing Both Arts to an Inseparable Unity: Frank O'Hara as a Visual Artist Abstract Frank O’Hara, a curator at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and a published poet in the 1950s and 60s, was an exemplary yet enigmatic figure in both the literary and art worlds. While he published poetry, wrote art criticism, and curated exhibitions—on Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, and Jackson Pollock—he also collaborated on numerous projects with visual artists, including Larry Rivers, Michael Goldberg, Grace Hartigan, Joe Brainard, Jane Freilicher, and Norman Bluhm. Scholars who study O’Hara fail to recognize his work with the aforementioned visual artists, only considering him a “Painterly Poet” or a “Poet Among Painters,” but never a poet and a visual artist. Through W.J.T. Mitchell’s “imagetext” model, I apply a hybridized literary and visual analysis to understand O’Hara’s artistic work in a new way.
  • Irving Sandler

    Irving Sandler

    FROM THE ARCHIVES: HANS HOFMANN: THE PEDAGOGICAL MASTER By Irving Sandler May 30, 1973 Irving Sandler died on June 2, 2018 at the age of 92. A frequent contributor to A.i.A., Sandler was best known for chronicling the rise and the aftermath of Abstract Expressionism. One of his most significant articles for A.i.A., the impact of Hans Hofmann, who taught such artists as Helen Frankenthaler and Allan Kaprow, thereby influencing not only second- and third-generation Ab Ex painters but other developments in American art after 1945. Sandler highlights Hofmann’s interest in the deep traditions of European art, and his belief that the best abstract painting continues its manner of modeling the world. “It was in this cubic quality, this illusion of mass and space, that the man-centered humanist tradition—or what could be saved of it—was perpetuated,” Sandler wrote, summarizing a central tenet of Hofmann’s teachings. The full essay, from our May/June 1973 issue, is presented below. In June we re-published Sandler’s essay “The New Cool-Art,” on the rise of Minimalism. —Eds. As both a painter and a teacher Hans Hofmann played a germinal part in the development of advanced American art for more than thirty years. This article will deal only with his pedagogical role—a topic chosen with some trepidation, for to treat an artist as a teacher is often thought to demean his stature as an artist. The repute of Hofmann’s painting has suffered in the past because of this bias, but no longer, since he is now firmly and deservedly established as a pathfinding master of Abstract Expressionism.

R. LeRoy Turner R. Leroy Turner is recognized for his vibrant Modern abstractions completed from the late 1920s through the early 1950s. His artwork emphasizes a lyrical form of Cubism, often inspired by visual interpretations of classical music. Many of his compositions are titled after specific pieces of music, and frequently they include themes of melodic symbols, devices and musical scores. Born in Sherwood, ND in 1905, Turner spent much of his childhood living in Minnesota. In Minneapolis, LeRoy Turner studied painting at the University of Minnesota with the noted artists and instructors, Cameron Booth and Edmund Kinzinger. Towards the late 1920s, Turner became highly influenced by the paintings styles of Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris, and Paul Klee. In 1928 he traveled to Europe to further his art studies in Munich and Paris. While painting in Europe he continued his association with both instructors Booth and Kinzinger. Returning to the United States, Turner joined the faculty of the St. Paul School of Art in St Paul, MN, where he became a painting instructor from 1933 to 1936.
