  • Independent Vision Modern and Contemporary Art from the Martin Muller Collection
    Independent Vision Modern and Contemporary Art from the Martin Muller Collection The Butler’s in Love by Mark Stock By Caleb Talley | Photography courtesy of the Arkansas Arts Center The exhibition, which was organized by the Arkansas Arts Center and Modernism, Inc. of San Francisco, is a tribute to Little Rock, where Muller spent his formative early years. Muller, who was born in Switzerland, moved to Little Rock in the 1970s. It was during his time in Little Rock that he discovered an affinity for post-war American painting in the library of the Arkansas Arts Center. That would be the start of a lifelong pursuit of artistic treasures. “This was the beginning of a rich, colorful, challenging and rewarding journey, started in Little Rock, where I made many lifelong friends,” says Muller. “The collection was chosen for exhibition at the Arkansas Arts Center because it originated in Little Rock,” he adds. Ode to Moe by Mel Ramos In 1977, Muller embarked on his career, pursing his passion for art professionally. He moved west, to San Francisco, and opened a warehouse, dubbed Modernism, in the South of Market district. Modernism has since presented more than 450 exhibitions in media that includes, paint, photography, sculptures and performance. Independent Vision: Modern and Contemporary Art from the Martin Muller Collection features 89 works from Muller’s personal collection, showcasing his contemporary art journey. In all, 77 artists are represented, many of which he has championed throughout his career. “The collection is unique because of its wide spectrum, covering all facets of modern and contemporary art and media,” says Muller.

  • The Museum of Modern Art
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release March 1987 DRAWINGS ACQUISITIONS Through May 26, 1987 A new installation at The Museum of Modern Art features seventy-one works on paper acquired since 1981. During this period, 554 works by 217 artists entered the collection. Organized by John Elderfield, director of the Department of Drawings, the current installation reveals the rich growth of the collection over the past six years. Among the highlights of early modern drawings in the installation are Piet Mondrian's Amstel River (1907), a large, dramatic, preabstract work that combines a Symbolist mood with an already strong sense of geometric structure, and Giorgio de Chirico's Solitude (1917), widely considered to be probably the greatest of his metaphysical drawings. Three recently acquired works on paper by Pablo Picasso include the monumental Two Nudes (1906), a study for the Museum's painting of that subject; the rigorously abstract, Cubist Guitar (1912); and the beautiful pastel, Woman in a Flowered Hat (1921). Other major Cubist works include Fernand Leger's Contrast of Forms (1912) and Juan Gris's collage, Glass and Bottle (1913), and two drawings by sculptor Julio Gonzalez. The Museum's representation of Futurism has been enhanced by the addition of Carlo Carra's charcoal drawing, Cafe Chantant (1912), and works by Giacomo Balla and F.T. Marinetti (the latter represented in the collection for the first time). Early British modernism is exemplified by David Bomberg's early abstraction, study for In the Hold (1913), and works by William Roberts and C.R.W. Nevinson (first time representation).

    Monday, July 17, 2017 Modernism Gallery’s Brilliant New Re-Invention I love the chic new design of Martin Muller’s great Modernism gallery. With its bold and dramatic Cubist/Constructivist exterior and elegant interior, it is very Martin, and very Modernism, and it is very true to the artists he has presented for the last four decades. Situated in a lively corner of San Francisco’s edgy Tenderloin neighborhood, Modernism gallery, with a museum-worthy roster of major artists, is an exciting addition to the city’s notable architecture, and cultural life. Martin Muller worked very closely with the great San Francisco architecture firm, Aidlin Darling Design, to create the new gallery. Formerly in the classical Monadnock building on Market Street (near the new SFMOMA) Modernism now pioneers new territory. Bravo, Martin. Martin Muller with paintings by Georges VALMIER [1885-1937] and Louis MARCOUSSIS [1878-1941] I’m so excited about Martin’s dramatic new gallery. It’s situated in a space on Ellis Street in the Tenderloin. It’s in an area that’s wonderful for discovery called Little Saigon. Modernism now occupies a five thousand square foot bi-level single-tenant building one-and-a-half blocks from Van Ness Avenue. First erected in 1946, the former Diebold Safe & Lock Co. building has been completely remodeled by the award-winning San Francisco architecture firm Aidlin Darling Design. The gallery's design is further enhanced by eighteen-foot-high skylights, polished concrete floors, and moveable exhibition walls that will advance Martin’s tradition of originating international exhibitions of intellectual rigor and importance.

  • Tefaf's Russian Reset
    TEFAF ’S RUSSIAN RESET AVANT-GARDE BUTTERWICK ENHANCES WORLD’S TOP FAIR The European Fine Art Fair (TEFAF), held annually in the ancient Dutch town of Maastricht, is acknowledged as the finest – and most eclectic – art and antiques fair in the world. One field, however, has long been absent: Russian Art. Until now. This year’s TEFAF (March 13-22) sees the groundbreaking début of specialist dealer James Butterwick. Our International Editor SIMON HEWITT flew to The Netherlands to investigate. I FIRST HEARD OF MAASTRICHT in 1986, ahead of interviewing Pierre Vermeulen, the Dutch winger busy helping Paris St-Germain to the French League title. The twinkled- toed chain-smoker – a generous host with a taste for expensive claret – had just joined PSG from MVV Maastricht. This was six years before the EU Treaty made Maastricht a household name, and a decade before TEFAF established itself as indisputably the world’s leading art fair. TEFAF covers everything from tribal art to jewellery, and from giltwood furniture to contemporary glass. Old Master paintings were the fair’s original focus and remain its strongest suit. Yet Maastricht – wedged in between Belgium and Germany in Holland’s deep south, just north of Luxembourg – is one of the least accessible venues in western Europe. Megarich collectors jet into the town’s tiny airport (which offers direct flights to… Katowice and Tenerife), but for most mortals the nearest relevant runway is 80 miles off, in Brussels. Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport is even further afield but makes more sense: the train journey from Brussels involves two changes and takes 3 hours 20; trains from Schiphol to Maastricht run every 30 minutes and cover the 135 miles in 2½ hours, with just one change.

  • Independent Vision: Modern and Contemporary Art from the Martin Muller Collection
    INDEPENDENT VISION: MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART FROM THE MARTIN MULLER COLLECTION September 28, 2018 – December 30, 2018 Organized by the Arkansas Arts Center and Modernism Inc., San Francisco The Arkansas Arts Center presents the striking vision of a master collector in Independent Vision: Modern and Contemporary Art from the Martin Muller Collection. San Francisco-based gallerist and collector Martin Muller curated the exhibition from his personal collection as a tribute to Little Rock – the city where he spent his formative early years in America. During those years, Muller discovered an affinity for post-war American painting in the quiet library of the Arkansas Arts Center. It was the beginning of a lifelong, relentless pursuit of new artistic treasures. “This was the beginning of a rich, colorful, challenging and rewarding journey, started in Little Rock, where I made many lifelong friends,” Muller said. Independent Vision: Modern and Contemporary Art from the Martin Muller Collection features nearly 90 works from Muller’s personal collection representing his journey through contemporary art. The works in the exhibition represent a range of artistic expression, from American photographers Diane Arbus and Robert Mapplethorpe, modernist masters Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, pioneers of the Russian avant-garde Kazimir Malevich, Alexander Bogomazov, and El Lissitzky and pop artists Andy Warhol, Mel Ramos and Edward Ruscha. The show also includes a diverse array of contemporary works by artists such as Joel Besmar, Damian Elwes and Jean-Charles Blais. Independent Vision draws from Muller’s personal collection – and represents 77 artists he has championed throughout his career. Together, these works form a picture of Muller the collector, on a life-long journey for enlightenment through art and literature.

    Biography Alexandra Exter A Great Lady of the Russian Avant-Garde 1907-1914 – Paris and Italy, Cubism and Futurism 1914-1924 – Back in Russia 1924 – Paris Again Bibliography ALEXANDRA EXTER BIOGRAPHY Alexandra Alexandrovna Grigorovich Exter b. 6 January 1882, Bielostock, near Kiev, Ukraine, Imperial Russia d. 17 March 1949, Fontenay-aux-Roses, near Paris, France Alexandra Exter, 1912 A Great Lady of the Russian Avant-Garde She was a contemporary of Kazimir Malevich, Vasily Kandinsky, El Lissitzky, Marc Chagall, Alexei von Jawlensky, Alexander Archipenko, and many others. Yet Alexandra Grigorovich Exter died in general obscurity in 1949 at Fontenay-aux- Roses, near Paris, consigned to a basement apartment, poverty stricken and ill. Another example, and one too many, in the tradition of forgotten artists. Exter was born near Kiev, in Ukraine, into a wealthy upper class family. She was educated in the best academic establishments and in 1901 she enrolled in the School of Fine Art in Kiev. In 1904 she married a cousin, Nikolai Exter, a lawyer, whose name she kept even after his death in 1918 and her remarriage to the actor, George Nekrassov in 1920. 1907-1914 – Paris and Italy, Cubism and Futurism Even after she left Russia, she kept up her friendships with artists from the Kiev School of Fine Art – Aristarkh Lentulov, Alexander Bogomazov, and Alexander Archipenko. Cultured, speaking several languages, and financially well-off, she decided to continue her studies in Paris. That is where she settled on her vocation as a painter. Exter was in good company when she arrived in the French capital in 1907, many of those she met being the future players of the Russian avant-garde and who would come to Paris until the War broke out in 1914 – Piotr Konchalovsky, Alexander Korovin, A.

    4 ARS 2/201 Men of Taste. Essays on Art Collecting in East-Central Europe is a collection of four case-studies devoted to Duke Albert Saxe-Teschen, Count János Pálffy, Baron Karl Kuffner, Enea Grazioso Lanfranconi and Count Antoine E. Seilern. The book fills a gap in the literature on the history of art collecting in general and, at the same time, enriches the reader’s knowledge of the cultural milieu of East-Central Europe during the Enlightenment and beyond to the post-World War II era. It is a significant contribution to the still-sparse scholarly literature on art collecting in this part of the world. The book is devoted mainly to scenes from the lives of saints in panel paintings originally produced in the northern regions of the Kingdom of Hungary in present-day Slovakia. The individual scenes in the pictorial legends expressed human ideas about the world, human needs and the essential values of human existence.
