Harold Stevenson Harold Stevenson Harold Moncreau Stevenson Jr. (March 11, 1929 – October 21, 2018) was an Harold Stevenson American painter known for his paintings of the male nude.[1] He was a friend, a mentor, and an associate of Andy Warhol, and appeared in the Warhol film, Heat Born March 11, 1929 (credited as "Harold Childe").[2] Idabel, Oklahoma, U.S. Died October 21, 2018 Biography (aged 89) Idabel, Oklahoma, U.S. [3] Stevenson was born in Idabel, Oklahoma in 1929 and attended the University Nationality American of Oklahoma before moving to New York City in 1949.[3] He moved to Paris in Known for Painting 1952 and exhibited at European galleries for the next 20 years. Movement Pop art Stevenson's most well-known works were painted in the 1960s, including his Patron(s) Peggy Guggenheim, most famous works, Eye of Lightning Billy and The New Adam. Eye of Lightning Iris Clert, Andy Warhol, Billy was exhibited at the Sidney Janis Gallery in 1962 as part of the "New Alexander Iolas Realists" exhibit, which included works by Warhol (including his 200 Campbell’s Soup Cans), Claes Oldenburg, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Moskowitz, Robert Indiana, George Segal, Jim Dine, Peter Agostini, James Rosenquist, Wayne Thiebaud and Tom Wesselmann. The Eye of Lightning Billy was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in 2008.[2] In 1963, Stevenson's massive mural, The New Adam, was displayed at the Iris Clert Gallery in Paris. The mural is an 8-foot by 39-foot reclining nude man. The model was young actor Sal Mineo, and the painting was dedicated to Stevenson's lover at the time, Lord Timothy Willoughby de Eresby, the heir to the Earl of Ancaster. The work was considered for inclusion in the 1963 seminal Pop Art exhibition "Six Painters and the Object" at the Guggenheim, but was considered too large, and that it would distract from the rest of the works. In 2005, the painting was acquired by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.[2] In 1963, Stevenson created a 40-foot tall painting of the Spanish bullfighter El Cordobes, which was hung from the Eiffel Tower with the permission of the French government. The resulting traffic jam caused the government to require that the painting be taken down.[2] In 1968, in Paris, Stevenson exhibited "The Great Society", a collection of portraits of individuals from his hometown. The collection is now owned by the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art at the University of Oklahoma.[2] Having lived in New York, Paris, Key West and the Hamptons, Stevenson returned to his hometown of Idabel. He frequently contributed to NIGHT magazine.[2] Stevenson died on October 21, 2018 in Idabel, Oklahoma at the age of 89.[4] Selected works The New Adam - http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/collections/collection-online/artwork/15278 The Eye of Lightning Billy - http://www.matthewmarks.com/new-york/exhibitions/2007-07-09_project-for-a- revolution-in-new-york/works-in-exhibition/#/images/9/ The Great Society - http://www.ou.edu/content/fjjma/experience/collections/contemporaryArt/HaroldStevensonCollection.html References 1. http://www.artnews.com/2018/10/26/harold-stevenson-freethinking-artist-gallivanter-painter-new-adam-dies-89/ 2.

  • Galleries, Like Their Buyers, Make Themselves at Home in Palm Beach the City Has Become an Art Hub of Its Own That Benefits from Being Near, but Not In, Miami
    https://nyti.ms/39zx4u7 Galleries, Like Their Buyers, Make Themselves at Home in Palm Beach The city has become an art hub of its own that benefits from being near, but not in, Miami. By Hilarie M. Sheets Dec. 1, 2020 Updated 10:28 a.m. ET When the pandemic forced Art Basel Miami Beach to shift its raucous annual art fair to online viewing rooms and events, a cluster of top New York City galleries still made the pilgrimage to South Florida in hopes of connecting with collectors in person. Notably, they all chose to set up outposts not in Miami but some 70 miles north in Palm Beach — home (or second or third home) to a concentrated community of prominent art collectors sheltering for the winter. “What dealer wouldn’t want to be where the collectors are?” said Adam Sheffer, a vice president at Pace Gallery, who is heading up a new space in Palm Beach leased through Memorial Day. “It allows for an ongoing dialogue with some of these same people you would see in Miami once a year, but now you get to do it on their turf, in a way that’s safe where they’re comfortable.” Building on the success of galleries following their wealthy patrons to East Hampton, N.Y., this summer in the early months of the pandemic, Pace, Acquavella Galleries and Sotheby’s auction house coordinated opening spaces in Royal Poinciana Plaza adjacent to the contemporary gallery Gavlak, long based in Palm Beach.

  • 5 Essential Tips for Collecting Drawings Scott Indrisek Sep
    AiA news-service 5 Essential Tips for Collecting Drawings Scott Indrisek sep. 13, 2019 5:44pm Andy Warhol Kenny Burrell, 1956 Ambleside Gallery While prints are a common entry point into the art market, there may come a day when a budding collector yearns for a unique artwork, rather than an edition. Works on paper, specifically drawings, can be a fruitful place to start: a way to access an artist’s intimate process without breaking the bank. While some artists, like Robert Longo or Kara Walker , make drawing a centerpiece of their practice, for many the medium is one tool among many. Drawings can be sketches or studies pointed toward fuller paintings or sculptures; they can be whimsical diversions, quick experiments, or fully fleshed-out artworks in their own right. They “can provide a very different creative outlet to the artist’s primary practice,” said Sueyun Locks of Philadelphia’s Locks Gallery, “and thus can offer us a more complete story about an artist’s oeuvre.” Kara Walker The Root, The Demise of the Flesh, The Immortal Negress, 2018 Sikkema Jenkins & Co. They may never have the commanding wall power of a massive Abstract Expressionist canvas, but that’s part of the point. Drawings have a quieter energy, one that welcomes deep, close-up contemplation. And unlike larger works—which, in many cases, may have been completed with the aid of studio assistants—a drawing is one of the easiest ways to commune directly with the hand of the artist, hunched over her desk or drafting table. Here are a few key tips for anyone looking to start collecting this singular medium.

  • By Andy Warhol from the Leo Castelli Gallery, NY
    Marilyn By Andy Warhol From the Leo Castelli Gallery, NY TITLE: Marilyn ARTIST: Andy Warhol DATE: 1964 SIZE: 40 X 40“ MEDIUM: Silkscreen & Oil on Canvas STYLE: Pop Art ELEMENT & PRINCIPLE: Color & Value to create Emphasis Andy Warhol was born on August 6, 1928, in Pittsburgh, PA, to Czechoslovak immigrant parents. He received his B.F.A. from the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh, in 1949. That same year, he moved to New York, where he soon became successful as a commercial artist and illustrator. By the 1960s, Warhol began to paint comic-strip characters and images derived from advertisements; this work was characterized by repetition of culturally popular subjects such as Coca-Cola bottles and soup cans. He also painted celebrities at this time. By 1963, he had substituted a silkscreen process for hand painting, making this medium a serious fine art medium. He tried his hand at filmmaking, but soon began to paint again. Warhol died from gallbladder surgery complications February 22, 1987, in New York. Pop Art (1950’s – 1960’s) is a style of art which explores the everyday imagery which is part of contemporary consumer culture. It was a movement in which artists adopted and adapted elements of popular culture (hence, the name "pop") into their works of art. Common sources include advertisements, consumer product packaging, celebrities, and comic strips. Leading Pop artists include Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, George Segal, Jim Dine, Tom Wesselmann, Robert Indiana, Wayne Thiebaud, and Robert Rauschenberg. On the next 3 slides you will see more Marilyns …pay attention to the technique of placing down areas of flat color, followed by a stamp-type photographic image.

  • JANUARY 2018 Having Been Included In
    JANUARY 2018 Having been included in William C. Seitz’s Museum of Modern Art exhibition “The Art of Assemblage” in 1961, and with a solo debut at the Leo Castelli Gallery the following year, Robert Moskowitz has maintained a quiet but persistent presence on the New York scene for more than half a century. Quiet persistence has been a characteristic quality of his art as much as of his career. That tenacity pays off was demonstrated by his recent exhibition of six paintings, some of which were probably among his best, and, for that matter, are among the best anyone is making today. Observers have always struggled to pigeonhole Moskowitz’s work or to sort out its affinities and affiliations. Early on, he was seen as a fellow traveler of Pop; later, as the godfather of the New Image painting of the late 1970s (Susan Rothenberg, Lois Lane, Joe Zucker et al.). Today, I’d think of Ellsworth Kelly as a close relation. But mainly Moskowitz just seems to have gone his own way, somehow imbibing various influences and influencing others in turn while following his own path. Among the first works he showed were collages made of window shades; since then, while eventually eschewing the use of found objects, he has continued to be fascinated by the visual form of quotidian things—and particularly things that are part of the built environment. At the same time, he has usually depicted those things—if depicted is even the right word—with the eye of an abstractionist, even a kind of small-m minimalist, a parer-down rather than an elaborator.
