Tangible Investments LLC Tangible Investments LLC Late Summer Coin, Antique and Jewelry Auction Thursday - September 12, 2013 Late Summer Coin, Antique and Jewelry Auction 1887 Proof Seated 25C, NGC PF66, Rainbow Toned (65771) USD 1,750 - 2,250 NGC has certified only 31 pieces at this level, with a mere 11 coins grading finer. Considering the Greysheet price for this coin, it seems that this issue may be a sleeper. Certified as PF66 by NGC. However, on this piece the technical grade nearly takes a back seat to the stunning rainbow toning on the obverse. This specimen clearly came from an old-time cabinet or has housed for years in a vintage Wayte Raymond album. The obverse is a spectacular blend of lime-green toning at the peripheries, and electric-blue and violet iridescence at the centers. The reverse offers a gorgeous palette of russet and gold coloration. A splendid Seated quarter on all fronts. 2: Original 1832 Bust 50C, ANACS XF40 (65850) USD 150 - 250 Fully original 1832 Capped Bust half dollar, with more detail than one would expect for an XF40 designation. Remnants of luster remain deep in the recesses of the protected areas. Pleasing gunmetal-gray patination confirms the unmolested state of this early half dollar. 3: Rare 1850 Seated Liberty Dollar, PCGS MS63 (67424) USD 11,000 - 12,500 Only 7,500 Seated Liberty dollars were minted with this date, and few have survived in Uncirculated condition. In fact, PCGS has certified a mere five pieces at this level, with only two coins grading finer, and they are both MS64. PCGS has never graded an MS65 specimen. In our book, that makes this issue undervalued, relative to Greysheet prices. This gorgeous Seated Liberty Dollar is dripping with originality. Electric-blue, rose, and gold iridescence dances across the surfaces of both sides. The details are razor-sharp and the overall eye appeal is far above average. Conservatively graded as MS63 by PCGS. 4: Exceptional 1882 Trade Dollar, NGC PF64 Cameo (41622) USD 2,500 - 5,000 Mostly white interiors are framed by gently toned pale-gold rims on this wonderful 1882 proof Trade dollar. The contrast is memorable and the quality is what one would expect of a certified PF64 example, if not better. Certainly worthy of strong bidding activity. Only 41 examples have been certified by NGC at the PF64 level, from a low mintage of only 1,097 pieces. 5: 1888-O Morgan $1, PCGS MS65 (67233) USD 500 - 600 While common in lower grades, true Gem Uncirculated 1888-O dollars can be a challenge to locate. PCGS has certified only 231 pieces finer, and all are at the MS66 level, with none finer. The example offered here is a frosty, original Gem dollar with ample eye appeal. We note that the hologram on the back of the slab is partially missing. If the winning bidder desires, we will have this coin re-holdered at no additional cost to the customer. 6: Key Date 1893-S Morgan $1, PCGS G06 (67239) USD 1,800 - 2,200 The key date of the business strike Morgan dollars. The current piece displays full rims and attractive two-tone patination. Everything is clear and there are not distracting flaws to lower the eye appeal of most lower grade specimens. Certified by PCGS as Good-4. The holder should be replaced, as the reverse hologram is partially missing. If the winning bidder desires, we will have this coin re-holdered at no additional cost to the customer. 7: 1928 Peace Dollar, PCGS MS63 (67243) USD 700 - 800 The key date to the Peace dollar series. This frosty 1928 dollar offers ample eye appeal and investment opportunity. Why purchase an AU when for just a bit more you can have a certified, real BU coin in a PCGS MS63 holder? 8: 1855 Type Two Gold Dollar USD 300 - 400 For type coin collectors, this is the Indian Princess Head gold dollar, or Type II (1854-56). This short-lived series offers only a couple of easily collectible dates: the 1854 and 1855 Philadelphia issues. The other branch mint options can be challenging. The current offering is nicely detailed, although lightly cleaned. Still a nice representative of the type. Bid Live Online at LiveAuctioneers.com Page 1 Late Summer Coin, Antique and Jewelry Auction 9: 1851-O Quarter Eagle, Nice VG Condition (64554) USD 300 - 500 For little over the current gold value, you can own a genuine two-and-a-half dollar gold piece struck at the New Orleans branch mint. Interestingly, the 1851 New Orleans $2.5 gold issue had a scant mintage of 148,000 coins, compared to 1,372,748 pieces struck at the Philadelphia Mint that same year. However, they both issues are priced at the same level in this grade range. Do the math. Which would you prefer for the same price, which happens to be slightly above the melt value. The coin offered here has full rims on both sides, is problem-free, and displays wear that is nothing but honest. 10: 1852 $2.5 Gold Piece, Raw XF (65938) USD 250 - 350 You are bidding on a nicely detailed 1852 quarter eagle in gold. This is a problem-free example with tinges of luster in the protected area. Uncertified, but conservatively placed at the XF level. 11: 1856 $2.5 Gold Piece, Raw XF/AU (66688) USD 350 - 450 A boldly struck specimen, with sharp details on both sides, and a bit of luster in the protected areas. Five mints struck quarter eagles dated 1856, and all but the Philadelphia issue have mintages of less than 100,000 coins. Even so, only 384,240 pieces were struck in Philadelphia, making it a somewhat scarce issue, although the price guides do not reflect this fact. 12: 1879-S Quarter Eagle, Raw VF (65939) USD 300 - 400 1879-S $2.5 gold piece in VF condition. This survivor comes from a scant mintage of only 43,500 pieces. Although twice as many 1879-P quarter eagles were struck, the price guides tend to price the two at the same level in circulated condition. This date is a sleeper, without question. In all grades combined, NGC has certified only 197 coins throughout the past two decades, yet they have graded 859 Philadelphia coins. 14: Scarce 1807 $5, NGC MS62, BD-8, R.2 (67172) USD 10,000 - 18,000 BD-8 die marriage, and BassDannreuther Die State c/a. Straw-gold coloration throughout, with semi-prooflikeness in the protected areas. A please Uncirculated survivor. In all grades combined, NGC has certified a mere 242 examples of this date. Compare that to--let's say--the key date 1909-S VDB cent, where well over 7,000 coins have been graded by NGC. Early U.S. gold remains one of the most underrated areas in numismatics. The values listed in price guides are disproportionate relative to the number of extant examples, and are mainly driven by supply and demand: the supply is low, but so is the demand. It is only a matter of time before collectors realize how relatively rare early U.S. gold coins truly are. 15: Attractive 1809/8 $5 Gold, NGC AU58 (41610) USD 6,000 - 12,500 Highly desirable 1809/8 overdate gold half eagle. The example offered here is attributed at BD-1, which is an R.3+ variety. The low mintage of only 33,875 is deceiving, as much of the original production was melted not long after being struck. Finding an example of this date in any condition is challenging. Locating a near-Mint State survivor is much more difficult. Lustrous, orange-gold coloration throughout. An eye-appealing specimen for the advanced collector. 16: 1813 $5, Rare BD-2, R.4, NGC MS61 (41611) USD 7,500 - 15,000 Only two die marriages were employed to strike 1813 half eagles. The most common of the two varieties is the BD-1 combination. The obverse die used on BD-1 was later married to a new reverse die to create the BD-2 variety. The Bass-Dannreuther reference on early gold opines that only 15% to 25% of the mintage of 1813 half eagles were struck with the BD-2 die pair, and they estimate that only 150 to 200 examples of this marriage have survived to this day. The current Mint State specimen is boldly stuck and displays bountiful luster throughout the apricot-gold surfaces. The reverse reveals remnants of adjustment marks, which add character to this early piece of numismatic Americana. Bid Live Online at LiveAuctioneers.com Page 2 Late Summer Coin, Antique and Jewelry Auction 17: 1836 Classic Head Five Dollar Gold, Uncertified (46945) USD 500 - 800 A pleasing pale-gold, well defined example of this early half eagle. From a mintage of 553,147 pieces, less than a few thousand coins have survived years of gold melts and natural attrition. The current offering is pleasantly struck and perfectly suitable for the type. For the sake of full disclosure, we note a small mark to the right of Ms. Liberty's mouth, and two circular abrasions affecting the reverse shield and the eagle's left (facing) wing. When bidding, please remember that each early five dollar gold piece contains just under one-quarter troy ounce of pure gold. 18: 1902-S Twenty Dollar Gold Piece (66699) USD 1,300 - 1,600 A circulated example of James B. Longacre's famous Liberty Head double eagle. This one is a 1902 San Francisco issue, and it lightly circulated. All details are clearly visible.

The class will produce a 20th-Century Abstract Art Project, with an optional step into 21st Century Digital Art. REALISM ABSTRACTION DIVIDE This article skips a small rock across a large body of well-documented art history, including 650,000 books covering fine art that are currently available, as well as approximately 55,000 on critical insights, and almost 15,000 books examining the methods of individual artists and how they approached their work. You, of course can read a lot of them in your spare time! But today, our goal is to is gain a better understanding of why, at the very beginning of the 20th century, there was a major departure in how some groups of "avant-garde" painters approached their canvas, abandoning realistic art. The rock's trajectory attempts to show how the camera's extraordinary technology provoked some phenomenal artists to re- examine how they painted, inventing new methods of applying colors in a far less photographic manner that was far more subjective, departing from: what we see to focus on what way we see. 2 These innovators produced art that in time became incredibly valued.

She was well known among the second generation of postwar American abstract painters and is widely credited for playing a pivotal role in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to Color Field painting. Through her invention of the soak-stain technique, she expanded the possibilities of abstract painting, while at times referencing figuration and landscape in unique ways.

  • On Minimalism + Meditation
    On Minimalism + Meditation CIRCA GALLERY OCT 24TH, 2018 9:27 AM Lindsy Halleckson Silent Search - No. 26, 2015 CIRCA Gallery Contemporary minimalism as a style and practice is intertwined with meditation from start to finish. The artist often begins the creation of the piece by meditating, or falls into a meditative state while making the piece. On the other end of the process, the viewer can use the minimal nature of the artwork to guide their meditation, or after casually viewing the work may slip into an unintentional state of meditation. MINIMALIST PAINTING IS THE PLACE TO BEGIN MEDITATION THROUGH ART. CIRCA’s current exhibition depth of [color] field focuses on minimal, monochromatic, color field paintings that facilitate this kind of looking or mindful observation­­—looking into a piece, rather than at it. The very nature of minimal artwork allows the viewer to more easily move into a meditative state, where reality fades and all that remains is the observer and the painting. Without a specific visual subject or topic, the mind is much more open, unencumbered, and blank while viewing. The deep, saturated color of pieces like Brad Durham’s Without Shadows pull the viewer in and guide their eye deep into its textured layers. While other surfaces, like the subtle shifts and perspective-bending color transitions in Lindsy Halleckson’s Silent Search series, make a space for the eye to truly rest, almost as if out of focus. Brad Durham Without Shadows, 2017 CIRCA Gallery INTENTIONAL OBSERVATION IS ESSENTIAL. It’s no secret that the majority of the population dislikes minimalist art.

  • Color Field, Then And
    Color Field, Then and Now I fear that the visual culture in which these works were admired is now one of those distant “you had to be there” moments, which are impossible to reconstruct. by David Carrier March 7, 2020 Paul Feeley, Formal Haut, 1965, oil-based enamel on canvas, 60 x 60 inches The Fullness of Color: 1960s Painting at the Guggenheim Museum, New York, is a small catalogue-less exhibition that presents a large roomful of Color Field paintings. The show includes Kenneth Noland’s “Trans Shift” (1964), in which a suspended blue and green chevron, set on the white canvas ground, reaches almost to the bottom edge of the frame; Jules Olitski’s “Lysander-I” (1970), where the reddish mist in the upper right quadrant slowly fades into yellow; Alma Thomas’s “Cherry Blossom Symphony” (1972), with a violet background on which small marks of dark blue are superimposed — they look a little like the lozenges in some of Larry Poon’s early paintings. (Thomas actually is the most interesting artist here. Her presence puzzles me, for I don’t usually associate her with these other Color Field painters.) In Morris Louis’s “I-68” (1962), a field of thinly painted colors descends vertically. And Helen Frankenthaler’s “Canal” (1963) sets an irregularly shaped orange-yellow form of billowing color in front of a blue patch and, at the top, behind a dark grayish form. And there are two minor paintings, Gene Davis’s big “Wheelbarrow” (1971) and Paul Feeley’s decorative “Formal Haut” (1965). A review should focus on the art displayed.

  • Color Field Painting Is a Tendency Within Abstract Expressionism, Distinct from Gestural Abstraction, Or Action Painting
    QUICK VIEW: Synopsis Color field painting is a tendency within Abstract Expressionism, distinct from gestural abstraction, or action painting. It was pioneered in the late 1940s by Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, and Clyfford Still, who were all independently searching for a style of abstraction which might provide a modern, mythic art, and express a yearning for transcendence and the infinite. To achieve this they abandoned all suggestions of figuration and instead exploited the expressive power of color by deploying it in large fields which might envelope the viewer when seen at close quarters. Their work inspired much Post-painterly abstraction, particularly that of Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, and Jules Olitski, though for later color field painters, matters of form tended to be more important that mythic content. Key Ideas / Information • Color field painting emerged out of the attempts of several artists in the late 1940s to devise a modern, mythic art. Seeking to connect with the primordial emotions locked in ancient myths, rather than the symbols themselves, they sought a new style which would do away with any suggestion of illustration. • The style was championed most enthusiastically by critic Clement Greenberg, who acclaimed the advances it achieved in the realm of form and composition. Bemoaning what he saw as the increasingly imitative, academic qualities of some action painters, he argued that color field painting represented the way forward. His advocacy of the style proved highly influential. • Color field painting marks a major development in abstract painting, since it was the first style to resolutely avoid the suggestion of a form or mass standing out against a background.

We have written this thesis to educate not only ourselves, but to give other non art and art history majors, an idea of where to start if you were thinking about exploring the subject. With little background in art and art history, we didn’t know where to start looking, but quickly found three art movements that interested us the most: Abstract, Abstract Expressionism, and Pop Art. With our topics in mind we decided to paint six paintings, two in each movement, and yet it seemed that the six paintings by themselves were not enough. We wanted to learn more. To supplement those six paintings we wrote this paper to give some background information on each movement and how we incorporated the styles of each movement into our paintings.

  • American Painting During the Cold War
    Artforum, May 1973 American Painting During the Cold War Max Kozloff This article is a somewhat revised version of the introduction to the catalogue of the exhibition, "Twenty-five Years of American Painting 1948–1973," organized by James T. Demetrion at the Des Moines Art Center (Josef Albers, Ron Davis, Richard Diebenkorn, Richard Estes, Sam Francis, Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Irwin, Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Lindner, Morris Louis, Barnett Newman, Kenneth Noland, Philip Pearlstein, Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg, Mark Rothko, Frank Stella, Clyfford Still, Wayne Thiebaud, Mark Tobey, Andy Warhol, and William T. Wiley, March 6– April 22, 1973). Catalogue: 72 pages, perfect bound, 9 3/4" square, 23 black-and-white illustrations, 23 colorplates, brief bibliography, $7.00. All colorplates used here are somewhat reduced in size and courtesy of the Des Moines art Center. More celebrated than its counterparts in letters, architecture, and music, American postwar art has become a success story that begs, not to be retold, but told freshly for this decade. The most recent as well as most exhaustive book on Abstract Expressionism is Irving Sandler's The Triumph of American Painting, a title that sums up the self-congratulatory mood of many who participated in its career. Three years ago, the Metropolitan Museum enshrined 43 artists of the New York School, 1940–1970, as one pageant in the chapter of its own centennial. Though elevated as a cultural monument of an unassailable but also a fatiguing grandeur, the virtues of this painting and sculpture will survive the present period in which they are taken too much for granted.

Dodge 2 Introduction: Helen Frankenthaler’s Education and Formative Years In a decade marked by the omnipresence of black-and-white television, McCarthyism, the end of the Korean War and the fledgling sounds of rock n’ roll, the 1950s invited American artists to utilize color in forms and abstractions to challenge the domesticated, safe boundaries established by European masters. The 1950s perpetuated dominate male, decision–making stereotyping while subordinating females as submissive, adorned homemakers. Sandwiched between the creative genius and evolution of the U.S abstract expressionist movement of the 1940s and the emerging pop artists of the 1960s, the 1950s signaled the development and the ascendency of Helen Frankenthaler.
