  • Online Exhibition David Smith. Sprays
    Press Release Online Exhibition David Smith. Sprays hauserwirth.com Live Date: 7 July 2020 Hauser & Wirth announces an online exhibition featuring the late post-war American artist David Smith (1906- 1965), including six virtual museum loans alongside significant works spanning from 1958 until 1964. ‘David Smith. Sprays’ is curated by the artist’s daughters and co-presidents of the David Smith Estate, Candida and Rebecca Smith, and Dr. Jennifer Field, Executive Director of the David Smith Estate. The pioneering body of work is presented with walkthrough films of the virtual exhibition space created in HWVR. With thanks to contributing museums: Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York; Harvard Art Museums/ Fogg Museum, Cambridge, MA; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas; The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco/de Young Museum, San Francisco; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. ‘I belong with painters, in a sense; and all my early friends were painters because we all studied together. And I never conceived of myself as anything other than a painter because my work came right through the raised surface and color and objects applied to the surface’. – David Smith, 1960 The in-depth digital presentation celebrates Smith's innovative approach to the newly available medium of aerosol paint and the consequent interplay between colour, form and the drawn image. The Sprays represent a direct and unmediated form of expression that provide a vital counterpoint to Smith’s metal work. When creating a sculpture, Smith would often place components of the work in progress on white-washed areas of his shop floor, before joining them together.

  • Modernist Delicacy David Smith at 100 Sara Krulwich/The New York Times Art Review | ‘David Smith’ by HOLLAND COTTER
    Friday, February 03, 2006 Modernist Delicacy David Smith at 100 Sara Krulwich/The New York Times Art Review | ‘David Smith’ By HOLLAND COTTER SISSIES were second-class citizens in mid-20th-century American culture. And Smith’s mostly modest-size sculptures are set wide apart on the ramps, leaving art was a he-man’s game: booze, broads, Sasquatch manners, the whole nine expanses of white wall. This allows Wright’s spiral to assume its famously diffused yards. Sure, a little sensitivity was O.K., as long as you didn’t get carried away. It’s glow. And it lets Smith’s dark metal sculptures be exactly what Ms. Giménez says as if there was a sign at the Cedar Bar door: Girlie-men need not apply. Except they are: drawings in space. In short, what you get is a Guggenheim experience as this picture isn’t quite right. Look at the art. De Kooning painted the way Tamara well as a David Smith experience, which add up to a Modernism experience, with Toumanova danced, with a diva’s plush bravura. all the optical rigor and boutique-spirituality Pollock interwove strands of pigment as if he that that implies. were making lace.

  • WHY ARE AUSTRALIAN RACE WALKERS AMONGST the BEST in the WORLD? by BOB CRUISE
    WHY ARE AUSTRALIAN RACE WALKERS AMONGST THE BEST IN THE WORLD? by BOB CRUISE While our Australian racewalking efforts pale into insignificance when compared with the Russian experience, we have consistently performed above expectations in the sport of racewalking and are currently looked upon as one of power houses. It is indeed timely that Bob Cruise has forwarded the following to me for review. Why are Australian race walkers amongst the best in the world? Last year, just prior to the Olympics, I was asked by Tim O’Shannesy, distance running development officer with Athletics Australia, why I thought Australian race walkers were so good and whether the walking community had a master plan? Tim’s question encouraged me to reflect on why our walkers are where they are today in the international arena. Our recent and past success is due to many factors and influences. Some of these are listed below. 1. The National Family of Race Walking: Race walking in Australia is a small and relatively coherent group of enthusiasts. It is characterised by a number of clubs that have been in existence for nearly 100 years and numerous others that are prepared, in often difficult circumstances and frequently in an environment that in many cases in neither supportive nor encouraging, to provide for administration, coaching and competition. Race walking has groups of followers in all states of Australia, that, despite the above, continue to pursue and support race walking at a local, national and when appropriate at international level. When comparing race walking to any other track and field discipline in Australia it is very apparent that the followers and participants of race walking are members of a dedicated and committed family.

  • John D. Graham Will Be on View at the Museum of Modern Art from August I3 Through October I3
    //(f The Museum of Modern Art No. 81 \';'-,! 53 street, New York, N.Y.. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart FOR RELEASE: Tuesday^ August I3, I968 PRESS PREVIEW: Monday, August 12, I968 11 A.M. - k P.M. Xwenty-seven drawings and paintings by the Russian-born artist John D. Graham will be on view at The Museum of Modern Art from August I3 through October I3. Eila Kokkinen, Assistant Curator for Drawings of the Museum's Department of Drawings and Prints, has selected this group of his later works which includes portraits of women, self portraits, and other subjects reflecting his absorption in astrology, numerology, and other occult and mystical systems. Graham had been among the vanguard of American abstract art in the 30's, but he developed in these works of the ifO's and 50's a unique figurative style based on Renaissance painting. Graham, who died in I96I, was born Ivan Dabrowsky in Kiev. An enigmatic figure, he created an aura of myth about himself. Even the date of his birth is not certain, though he was in his thirties when he came to the United States in I920 and began to study painting for the first time at the Art Students League, His work was soon recognized, and he had one-man shows in Paris in I928 and I929, and in the latter year he was exhibited at the Phillips Memorial Gallery, Washington, and the Dudensing Galleries, New York. Although his work is not well known to the general public, Graham himself was well known to the New York art world of the 30's through his activities as a collector and artist.

The works here represent four of the climactic series that Smith produced from 1956 until his untimely death in 1965. They encompass rising forms that evoke the human presence (albeit in abstract terms) and others in which a more stern character, by turns mechanistic or architectonic, prevails. 4 The Courtyard display seeks to recreate the spirit of Smith’s installations in his fields at Bolton Landing in upstate New York. There, not only did each sculpture enter into a silent dialogue with others, but they also responded to the space and sky around them. Thus, for example, the dazzling stainless-steel surfaces of the ‘Cubi’ answer to the brooding, inward darkness of ‘Zig III’. Often, Smith’s imagery and ideas parallel concerns seen throughout Abstract Expressionism in general.

Or­ ganized and installed by Sam Hunter, Associate Curator of the Department of Painting and Sculpture, it includes J>k sculptures and a limited number of paintings and draw­ ings. Nine sculptures in the show have never before been exhibited: Chicago II and The Five Spring of 1956; and Sentinel III, Sentinel IV, 0 Drawing, Pilgrim, Portrait of a Lady Painter, Detroit Queen and Personage of May, all from 1957• Covering the period from 1936 to the present, but concentrating on the last decade of the artist's activity, the exhibition is part of a series devoted to middle-generation artists in America and Europe, entitled "Artists in Mid-Career." Now 51, David Smith has been one of the important innovators in contemr porary American sculpture, and a pioneer in welded iron and steel constructions. His first iron sculpture was made in 1933. Mr. Hunter says in the catalog* accompanying the exhibition that in his use of metals, "Smith is distinguished from his American contemporaries...by an adherence to strict forms, by his almost exclusive use of the more obdurate materials, iron and steel, and by a basically constructivist esthetic, which is re­ lieved

  • David Smith's
    David Smith’s Timeless Clock (1957) Jennifer Field, PhD Executive Director of the David Smith Estate ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ David Smith was born in 1906 in Decatur, Indiana, a small, midwestern town in the United States. At the time of Smith’s upbringing, the region was characterized by innovation and self-sufficiency. Smith later recalled: When I was a kid, everyone from the whole town was an inventor. There must have been fifteen automobiles made in Decatur, Indiana, and they were all put together in parts by all kinds of people. Just two blocks from where I lived there were guys building automobiles in an old barn. Invention was the fertile thing then. Invention was the great thing. … There was never any art involved. … The inventors in Decatur were the heroes.1 David Smith, Timeless Clock, 1957, silver, 20 3/8 x 26 x 6 1/2 in., Anderson Collection at Stanford University, Gift of Harry W. and Mary Margaret Anderson, and Mary Patricia Anderson Pence, 2014.1.026 ■ ■ ■ The sculpture 3 4 As an adult, Smith would apply his own practical experience 1 in mechanical labor to become the first artist in America to radically redefine notions of sculpture – most famously by welding together found utilitarian objects such as farm tools and machine parts using a combination of advance planning and improvisation, rather than through traditional methods of casting or carving. Smith’s work would help to define the New York School generation of artists and influence the direction of contemporary sculpture. After working a number of jobs in the Midwest such as laying telephone cable and doing assembly line work at a Studebaker 6 automobile factory, Smith moved to New York City in 1926 to study art.2 Like many members of the New York School, he studied at the Art Students League where, until 1931, he took classes in painting with the Czech modernist Jan Matulka.

Over the passing decades the sweeping diversity of his forms developed steadily, like those of a great symphony in space. It is vital, though, to grasp the revolutionary aspects of Smith’s achieve- ment in context and its great import for his successors. Welding – which Smith was the first to develop fully as a sculptural process in the United States – is now such a common technique that it is hard to imagine the process ever having been daringly new. Yet Smith’s decision to establish his workshop in the industrial site of the Brooklyn Navy Pier in New York in 1933 was unprecedented – most sculptors then used a bronze foundry, a marble quarry, or a conventional studio. Smith fundamentally recast the artist’s role and persona. When he chose to move in 1940 to the rural isolation of upstate Bolton Landing in the Adirondacks, Smith left the buzzing New York art world behind to synthesize his own workspace, combining industry and nature.

I am indebted to Peter for this generous appraisal. Tim Erickson, born 23 November 1950, raced at 5ft 8in and 145 lbs. He was a member of Ivanhoe Harriers and was trained by John Boas who was at one time the Australian National Walking Coach. Tim's walking career commenced in 1966 as a junior and was interrupted in 1968 to concentrate on his studies. It was not until April 1973 that he resumed racing as a 22 year old and he showed immediate potential over the long distances. He was 5th in the Australian 50 km title in his first year and by 1974, his times over the shorter distances were starting to come down. In that year he gained a third place in the Victorian 20 km championship and broken 100 mins for the first time. In 1975, he really began to show what he was capable of and won the Australian 50 km in Perth in 4:33:04. He followed this up with a new Australian record for the 50 miles which he covered in 8:14:46. But just when the gates seemed to be opening, he was beaten into second place in the 1976 Victorian 20 km championship by Willi Sawall, a relative newcomer to race walking, who equalled Noel Freeman’s Australian record.
