Historical OK Harris Works of Art specialized in a wide range of contemporary art and was known for its early support of Photo-realism. When it opened in 1969, the gallery was one of the first to operate in the SoHo area of Manhattan and its presence helped shape the neighborhood's development into a vibrant arts district. Ivan C. Karp (1926-2012), the founder of OK Harris Works of Art, established a reputation in the art world while co-director of Leo Castelli Gallery from 1959-1969. He is credited with launching the careers of Pop artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, John Chamberlain, Tom Wesselmann, and Claes Oldenburg. Karp wrote, published, and lectured extensively on art and the art business. He was the author of a romantic novel about New York life, Doobie Doo (published in 1965, front cover by Roy Lichtenstein, back cover by Andy Warhol) and his short stories were published in literary reviews. Karp was actively involved in architectural preservation efforts in New York City. As President of the Anonymous Arts Recovery Society, he rescued and stored cornices, capitals, portals, columns and other architectural fragments of historical and aesthetic interest from demolition sites. Many are displayed in his Anonymous Arts Museum, Charlotteville, NY and some became part of a sculpture garden that Karp donated to the Brooklyn Museum of Art. While Leo Castelli Gallery was closed for summer vacations in 1963 and 1964, Karp ran his own contemporary art gallery in Provincetown. He named it OK Harris, a name he thought suggestive of a colorful, very American character. A few years later, Karp opened OK Harris Works of Art in SoHo where a portrait of a bearded man titled "Oscar Klondike Harris" hung in his office. "Mr. Harris" frequently assumed blame for delays, rejections and other unwelcome news or decisions. OK Harris Works of Art (first at 469 West Broadway and later at 383 West Broadway) was a 10,000 square foot ground-floor space where as many as six concurrent solo exhibitions were presented every six weeks. The goal was "to exhibit the broadest spectrum of the most adventuresome art being offered" and the focus was on emerging artists, many of them unknown. In addition to being at the forefront of the Photo-realist movement in 1969, OK Harris Works of Art was the first gallery to exhibit the work of Duane Hanson, Deborah Butterfield, Manny Farber, Richard Pettibone, Robert Cottingham, Robert Bechtle, Marilyn Levine, Nancy Rubins, Malcolm Morley, Luis Jiminez, Jake Berthot, Jack Goldstein, Porfirio DiDonna, and Al Souza. An approachable, friendly man who enjoyed sharing his knowledge, Karp usually sat at the gallery's front desk and was available to all. Unlike many dealers, he was willing to look at and discuss artists' slides, offered encouragement, and often followed up with studio visits. Page 2 of 66 Ivan C. Karp papers and OK Harris Works of Art gallery records AAA.okharr At his request, Marilynn Gelfman Karp became gallery director after her husband's death in 2012. She ran the business with gallery staff including Ivan's oldest son, Ethan. Following Ivan's guidelines, OK Harris Works of Art closed with a gala celebration 2014 for all the gallery's artists, collectors and friends. Scope and Contents The Ivan C.

  • Andy Warhol Who Later Became the Most
    Jill Crotty FSEM Warhol: The Businessman and the Artist At the start of the 1960s Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg and Robert Rauschenberg were the kings of the emerging Pop Art era. These artists transformed ordinary items of American culture into famous pieces of art. Despite their significant contributions to this time period, it was Andy Warhol who later became the most recognizable icon of the Pop Art Era. By the mid sixties Lichtenstein, Oldenburg and Rauschenberg each had their own niche in the Pop Art market, unlike Warhol who was still struggling to make sales. At one point it was up to Ivan Karp, his dealer, to “keep moving things moving forward until the artist found representation whether with Castelli or another gallery.” 1Meanwhile Lichtenstein became known for his painted comics, Oldenburg made sculptures of mass produced food and Rauschenberg did combines (mixtures of everyday three dimensional objects) and gestural paintings. 2 These pieces were marketable because of consumer desire, public recognition and aesthetic value. In later years Warhol’s most well known works such as Turquoise Marilyn (1964) contained all of these aspects. Some marketable factors were his silk screening technique, his choice of known subjects, his willingness to adapt his work, his self promotion, and his connection to art dealers. However, which factor of Warhol’s was the most marketable is heavily debated. I believe Warhol’s use of silk screening, well known subjects, and self 1 Polsky, R. (2011). The Art Prophets. (p. 15).

Lots of small things yield interesting late-twentieth-century art photography), it is worth noting that those ties are scarcely referred to in the work itself. Photorealism is textures—details reinforce neighboring details and cancel out technical problems.

  • Janice Mason Art Museum LESSON PLANS for WIER EXHIBIT Background Information
    Janice Mason Art Museum LESSON PLANS FOR WIER EXHIBIT Background Information ARTIST NAME : Richard Estes ART PIECE ON DISPLAY: “Untitled (Chinese Lady)” About the Artist Richard Estes was born on May 14, 1936, in Kewanee, Illinois, but his family actually lived in Sheffield, a very small town 20 miles from his birthplace. He always liked to draw and still has a drawing he did when he was about four years old and signed it “Dick Estes”. When he was eight years old, he received an oil painting set for Christmas. His family moved to Chicago when Estes was a teenager, and he studied at the Art Institute of Chicago in the 1950’s, where his training centered on figure drawing and traditional academic painting. Estes said, “ I never really thought I’d wind up as a painter, rather, I thought I would probably do commercial art or design or something like that. I didn’t think I’d be successful as a painter although I always wanted to do it.” After graduation from the Art Institute, Estes moved to New York, working in the graphic design field as a freelance illustrator and for various magazine publishers and advertising agencies. He continued to paint at night, and his first one-person show opened in New York in 1968. Most of Estes’s paintings from the early 1960’s are scenes of New Yorkers engaged in urban activities. Around 1967 his paintings of city street scenes changed to images of glass storefronts, reflecting distorted images of buildings and cars. The artist works from photographs to create his free-hand paintings.

  • Art and Alchemy
    NEXT GALLERY AT MCNY PRESENTS Art and Alchemy October 8, 2008 — December 5, 2008 About the show….. At one time or another almost everyone has found treasure in trash. We might be attracted to an object’s color, shape, or texture or simply an object’s ability to resonate emotionally with us. Each of the artist- alchemists in this exhibition uses found materials to transform waste into wonder. The term “Alchemy,” from the Arabic al-kīmiyā, originally referred to an investigation of nature combining elements of chemistry, physics, medicine, astrology, mysticism, and art. Alchemists throughout the ages sought to transform common metals into gold or silver, or find an elixir of life to cure all diseases and prolong life indefinitely. Today the term has come to mean any magical power or process of transmuting a common substance, usually of little value, into one of great value. Carol Goebel transforms rusted metal tools into beautiful installations that flicker with life and make you think you have come upon a flock of amazing flying creatures. Linda Stillman chooses found materials, remnants of daily life – coffee filters, tea bags, blossoms and bark from her garden and paint shards from her painting practice and transforms them into witty and elegant compositions. Elyse Taylor creates a charming and moving narrative patchwork of life experiences in her ongoing project, “Growing,” made up of 16 inch square panels, using a large variety of recycled and found materials along with paint and collage. Dan Walker transforms plastic parts by aggregating them according to color. His explosive assemblages and sculptures are dazzling in their intricacy and nuanced color relationships.

  • The Pamphlet Files 1
    The Pamphlet Files 1 The Pamphlet Files The Pamphlet Files were established as an original resource, part of the Library’s traditional and strong interest in the preservation of ephemera. Some of the material in these files dates back to the late nineteenth century. The Pamphlet Files are often the only record that a gallery or organization existed. They are not catalogued, and there are no references to them in our online catalogue. The files include exhibition brochures, fliers, small exhibition catalogues, gallery announcements, newsletters and other ephemera relating predominately to New York City and state galleries, museums, colleges and universities, professional associations, foundations, non-profit organizations, and other arts organizations. In addition, there are files for one-time arts events and movements, such as “New York State Exposition” and “Art for Peace.” Unless otherwise noted, all files originated from one of the five boroughs of New York City. The list of entries is arranged in alphabetical order; for galleries that have a given name and a surname, i.e. “Martha Jackson Gallery,” the entry will be alphabetized according to the first name.

This evening’s festivities and the much-needed funds it will bring to our school are a testa- ment to the hard work of the parents and faculty of NEST+m. The room is filled with treas- ures made with love and a lot of effort by our students, and with offers of special treat experiences with the teachers, another sign of the warmth of our community. Bid generously on all of the things you’ve always wanted, from handbags to summer camp experiences for your kids. The businesses that donated want to see NEST+m raise as much money as possible. Thanks to your extraordinary generosity tonight and throughout the year, NEST+m can continue to offer a unique and exceptional educational experience for our children.
