Now, news comes that after more than a year of searching for a new space, owner Howard Flax will move the store across the bay to downtown Oakland. The move comes ahead of a new development which, as we reported in August 2014, would see a nine‐story, 85‐foot tall building rise on the site. A year ago, Howard Flax told us that the store wasn't expected to vacate its Market Street location until February 2016 at the earliest. His wishlist for a new space included a parking lot, at least 15,000 square feet of space to work with, a central location, and a loading dock for large deliveries. While it's not a long list, finding an affordable retail space with those specifications in San Francisco proved nearly impossible. But downtown Oakland, with its plethora of empty storefronts, was a perfect fit. "The move to Oakland became simple," Flax told us. "City officials on both sides of the bay wanted us, but in SF we couldn't find the right combination of location, affordability, public access and proper zoning, and that's after a 1.5 year search." And so, after an arduous hunt, Flax finally secured a new location 15th and MLK Drive, in an old building that used to be home to the All Power Indoor Soccer Arena. Large rolling doors can be used for deliveries, and the location is an eight minute walk from the 12th Street BART Station. At 14,500 square feet, the new space is roomy (though not as big as the Market Street location), and a small parking lot to the rear of the building on 15th crosses that requirement off the list. Flax tells us that the the art supply store will begin moving its warehouse and offices into the new space on February 1st. Though a concrete date hasn't been confirmed, the retail store will likely close in that timeframe, and its inventory will travel across the bay February 16th‐21st. "Our moving sale will start soon," Flax told us. "The move itself we want to have happen very quickly to minimize disruption on the business and our customers." The Oakland Flax location will begin serving the East Bay community in March. Though the move will happen quickly, San Francisco fans won't have to commute to Oakland to get their Flax fix: there's also the new Fort Mason Flax location, which opened this fall. "Despite the smaller footprint, it's amazing how much product we can fit," Flax told us of the new space. "City College classes start soon out of their Fort Mason campus and we are looking forward to serving all those students ... I think it will be an excellent SF location for us for many years to come."

That’s what happens when you’re the son of well‐known artist Larry Winborg. The father‐son duo share a studio in Hyde Park, in a second floor loft on the mountain bench with a fantastic view of the Wellsvilles and Cache Valley. The room is lined with windows and furnished in warm colors, with paintings hanging from and lined against the walls. Their work benches mirror each other, and a billiard table takes up another corner. A lot of people ask how the two can work together, as it’s not always easy being in business with family. For the Winborgs, that’s not really a problem. “We get along good,” Larry says. “We enjoy the relationship we have as father and son, we work together as artists.” It’s nice to work with someone who is also an artist and can offer perspective during the creative process, Jeremy says. “If I’m working on a painting, I can be stuck on something that makes the painting incomplete, and he’s able to come over and tell what’s wrong with it, what needs to be done,” he explains. The 73‐year‐old elder Winborg celebrated his 50th‐year artist’s anniversary a month ago, marking from the time he graduated with a Master’s of Fine Art at Utah State University. However, he says he decided he wanted to be an artist back in the first grade, growing up in Idaho. “I’ve always wanted to be an artist, always really loved it,” Larry explains. Larry spent many years of his career as an illustrator, and he had an art studio at one time for several years in Salt Lake City with his brother. Now, he does commissioned work and art shows with his son. Their gallery, Winborg Masterpieces in downtown Logan, represents them both. They also have had artwork featured in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‐ day Saints’ magazine, “The Ensign,” and in other church works. Larry bounces around between different styles, working in oils much of the time, though in the past few years he turned to abstract work. Abstract, for him, is like music without words. Father and son don’t collaborate as much as they did when Jeremy was younger, but they are contracted to do a series of murals on the wall of a building in downtown Logan, visible on the east side of the Center Street Grill parking lot from Main Street. The first mural, up now, was created by Jeremy and is titled “Baby Steps,” featuring a family in a rustic kitchen. The son, modeled after Jeremy’s 2‐year‐old, is walking to his father, whose arms are outstretched to receive him, as his mother watches. The next in the series of murals will be one created by Larry, entitled “Flying Sparks,” including a father and son in a blacksmith’s forge, where the father is teaching the son how to make a knife. That will likely replace “Baby Steps” on the wall this spring. January 13, 2016 4 __________________________________________________________________________________________ The idea behind the project is mentoring, Larry explains. “I think we could all remember that everyone needs help, and needs to be mentored,” he says. “I’ve always had a saying of, ‘There isn’t anyone you can’t learn something from.’ So, if someone’s willing to teach you and you’re willing to learn, then you can learn from everyone.” Larry, who cites mentors like the late Utah artist Harrison Groutage, is a mentor himself. Growing up, Larry’s children had free reign of his studio, and he supplied them plenty of materials. The same goes for his grandchildren. “People ask, ‘How did you teach your kids to paint?’ And I didn’t. I just gave them the paints, the brushes, and the canvasses and the paper and said, ‘Go for it,’ and I encouraged them, praised them,” he says. The whole family is involved in some kind of art, be it weaving, painting or photography. Two daughters have a business called Winborg Sisters Design, producing art decor for children. Jeremy’s kids, who have an art heritage from their mother and father, are budding artists, down to his 2‐year‐old.

NeWmanN �NarRatiVe PoRtfOlio — by Antonia Dapena-Tretter Abstract Unpacking Robert W. Newmann's portfolio requires a layered approach with equal attention paid to biography, aesthetics, and the larger art market of the 1970s to the present. These diverse methodologies intertwine to reveal the artist's surprising rejection of the Washington 1. 3 Color School tradition of ethereal stained canvases in favor of the real space of large-scale installations. Literal layers—taking the form of pigment added to the canvas or inches of substrate sandblasted away— Bulletin 3 separate Newmann's art from that of his teachers and serve as a common thread, tying together enormous shifts in practice and medium. Although each period of the artist's oeuvre reinforces his strong attraction to the experiential, the unexpected challenges of wedding an artwork to the space around it ultimately drove Newmann to accept and embrace the unavoidable nature of the immaterial. Peeling Back Robert W. Newmann — Narrative Portfolio Washington Post critic Paul Richard theorized that 1960s D.C.-based artists such as Kenneth Noland, Thomas Downing, and Gene Davis «worked from a particular sensibility, nourished by the grids and circles of the original L’Enfant plan.»1 If this is taken to be true, the hard- edged lines of the Washington Color School canvases were born from the same inspiration as Robert Newmann’s For Pierre L’Enfant (pic.

    PRESS RELEASE KENNETH NOLAND CIRCLES—EARLY AND LATE (1959-1962/1999-2002) YARES ART 745 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10151 (212) 256-0969 Opening reception: Saturday, November 11, 5:30–7:30pm Amusement Blues, 1961. Acrylic on canvas, 94 1/4 x 94 inches (232.4 x 238.8 cm). Courtesy Yares Art, New York. © The Kenneth Noland Foundation/Licensed by VAGA, New York, NY. YARES ART is pleased to present Kenneth Noland: Circles on view in New York, November 11–December 30. The exhibition comprises twenty major works by Kenneth Noland (1924 –2010), one of the most important American painters of the post-war era. The paintings on view feature Noland’s best-known motif: the circle, in which concentric forms in rich and varied colors radiate from within each square-format compo- sition. Linking Abstract Expressionist bravura to Color Field luminosity, Noland’s large-scale “Circle” canvases, such as This and That (both 1958–59), Amusement Blues, and Spring Call (both 1961)—included in the current Yares Art exhibition—caused a stir when the artist first introduced them to the art world in the early 1960s. Today, their far-ranging influence continues to resonate in the work of a younger generation of artists, including Ugo Rondinone, Anslem Reyle, among numerous others. Noland himself revisited the circle motif in the late 1990s, producing a series of relatively intimate hard-edge compositions with vibrant concentric circles, and heightened color relationships, often employing iridescent hues. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to compare and contrast Noland’s first landmark series of “Circle” paintings with his last brilliant treatment of this theme.

(221 x 182.9 cm) © 2020 Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), rights administered by Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York YARES ART is pleased to present Leap of Color, an in-depth exploration of the Ab-Ex/Color Field movement from its inception in the mid-1950s to recent works. On view are major paintings by celebrated artists who are widely regarded as key fgures in the evolution, development, and refnement of the feld: MILTON AVERY, GENE DAVIS, THOMAS DOWNING, FRIEDEL DZUBAS, HELEN FRANKENTHALER, DOROTHY FRATT, ADOLPH GOTTLIEB, HANS HOFMANN, MORRIS LOUIS, HOWARD MEHRING, ROBERT MOTHERWELL, KENNETH NOLAND, JULES OLITSKI, and LARRY POONS, among other celebrated artists of the era. Leap of Color allows artists, art historians, and all art audiences to examine the close personal, professional and aesthetic connections and confuences of these modern and contemporary masters. Early on, beginning in the 1930s, Milton Avery, who never strayed from fguration, was a mentor to Adolph Gottlieb and a number of other leading artists of Abstract Expressionism. Ab-Ex pioneer Hans Hofmann inspired younger artists to experiment with color, as did Ab-Ex luminary Robert Motherwell, partner of Helen Frankenthaler’s in art and life for over a decade. With her staining techniques and exuberant allover compositions, Frankenthaler has been credited with launching Color Field painting, and with great infuence on the development of the Washington Color School in DC.

  • THE ART of PAUL REED: Color, Creativity, Curiosity
    THE ART OF PAUL REED: Color, Creativity, Curiosity David Gariff Color thinks for itself, independently of the objects that it clothes. — Charles Baudelaire Paul Reed1 at the age of ninety-one continues to make art in the basement studio of his Arlington, Virginia home. The studio opens up to the light and colors of the landscape behind his house, a gentle descending slope through trees to a small tributary of the Potomac River. Reed spends as much time outdoors as weather permits. His most recent paintings, washes and drizzles of paint stained on unstretched, raw muslin, illuminate the rooms of his house. Attached to his windows, they create a vision of modernist stained glass that serves to unify and blur distinctions between interior and exterior, light and color, art and nature. As if in homage to Matisse and Rothko, light and color enliven this domestic space and present a personal microcosm of the defining nature of Paul Reed’s artistic world. There is no more revealing setting to illustrate the goals and ideas that have motivated Reed’s lifelong devotion to the art of painting and his endless exploration of the many and varied properties of color. This in no way diminishes Reed’s accomplishments in sculpture, photography, printmaking, graphic design, and computer-generated imagery—all of which are part of a continuity of thought and an endless curiosity about art. Paul Reed’s journey is a long one. A native of Washington, D.C. he is best known as one 1 For the Paul Allen Reed papers, 1952‐2008, see the Smithsonian Archives of American Art, http://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/collection/reedpaul.htm.
