Lot Note(s): Manzoni was best known for his ironic approach to avant-garde art. The foremost example of this is his series of Achromes, which invariably looked white but were actually colorless.

Initially favoring canvases coated in gesso (1957–1958), he also worked with kaolin, another form of white clay often used in the production of porcelain. The kaolin works are generally made from clay covered canvases folded horizontally. These works showed the influence of Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein, Alberto Burri, and Robert Rauschenberg, who had painted neutral white canvases in 1951. Image copyright © The Estate of Piero Manzoni.

The regular edition silkscreens were printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, New York City and published by Ronald Feldman Fine Arts, Inc., New York City. Image copyright © Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. [29258-1-1600] Copyright ©2020 Stanford Auctioneers | www.stanfordauctioneers.com | [email protected] Page 3 of 154 10: ANDY WARHOL - After the Party USD 60,000 - 70,000 Andy Warhol (American, 1928 - 1987). "After the Party [collage/mixed media]". Collage/mixed media on fabric. Composed 1979. Signed and dated in black marker by Warhol, lower center. Unique. Overall condition very good with no holes or tears. There are scattered spots (from Champagne?) primarily on the recto, and some minor staining, primarily on the verso. The object, a woman’s size small, is cotton with a nylon lining, wearable, with the zipper fully functional. The compositional ink was applied with skill and care. Collage elements: the word “After” consists of black sequins sewn onto “appliqué mesh” and surrounded with embroidered white yarn, the mesh then sewn to the dress; the word “The” is composed with black sequins but without the corresponding yarn, the mesh sewn to the object; the word “Party” consists of red beadwork sewn to the appliqué mesh, thence sewn to the dress. The mesh edges have not been trimmed or folded. Literature/catalogue raisonne: See Feldman/Schellmann II.183 (pg. 102) for the editioned screenprint. Overall size: 36 5/8 x 18 3/4 in. (930 x 476 mm). Lot Note(s): A unique, classic, and very rare item, previously unrecorded. The image of our object is based on, but is not identical to, Warhol’s “After the Party” screenprint of 1979 (attached to this catalogue as image #10). That print is white (with a rainbow roll drawing line) on a black background, whereas our example is black (without the rainbow roll) on a white background. The print’s image is horizontal whereas ours is vertical. In addition there is a large undefined object lower center in our work, not found in the screenprint. Thus it appears that our image was created using a screen different than that of the editioned print. This fact plus the extensive collage work marks it as one of a kind. According to ‘Gordon’s Art Reference’ the auction record for the screenprint itself, issued in an edition of 1,000, is $32,500 (Phillips, New York, April 28th, 2014, lot #63). According to an “art -worker” at Warhol’s 860 Broadway “Factory,” a socialite showed up for a late-night party there wearing this plain white dress. She left in the wee hours of the morning wrapped in a large piece of canvas, sans clothing. Over the next few days Warhol and various Warhol “Superstars” applied their magic and created the work. Image copyright © Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. [29392-19-40000] 11: HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON - Ahmedabad, India USD 600 - 700 Henri Cartier-Bresson (French, 1908 - 2004).

Also included are scarce protest flyers and examples of mutual aid in the 20th Century, such as a flyer from Angela Davis speaking in Harlem only months after being found not guilty for the kidnapping and murder of a judge, and a remarkably illustrated flyer from a free nursery in the Lower East Side. For over a decade, Boo-Hooray has been committed to the organization, stabilization, and preservation of cultural narratives through archival placement.

  • The New York Observer January 10, 2000
    The New York Observer January 10, 2000 Müller and Thompson: Adjuncts in Art By Mario Naves The paintings of Jan Müller (1922-1958) and Bob Thompson (1937-1966), the subject of the exhibition “Search for the Unicorn” at Lori Bookstein Fine Art, are so striking in their similarities that one initially assumes they were colleagues working in intimate correspondence towards a common goal: the establishment of a post-Ab- Ex school of painting that embraced the Arcadian, the mythic, and the figure. Coming upon “Jan Müller’s Funeral” (1958) at Bookstein, we presume that this somber canvas was Thompson’s homage to his mentor. Which is, in a sense, precisely the case, as is the notion that both men were adjuncts in art. Yet, in actuality, Müller and Thompson never met, a fact that comes as a surprise when comparing their respective work. Thompson did eventually befriend Müller’s widow, Dody, who sternly advised the young artist not to “ever look for your solutions from contemporaries—look at Old Masters.” He would heed this advice—Thompson’s paintings are replete with quotations from Masaccio, Piero della Francesca, Poussin and others—but did not ignore the juggernaut that was the New York School. This mix resulted in densely packed canvases that are flat and bright, cluttered and hasty, electric and ambitious. Thompson can’t be considered, as the painter Jay Milder described him, “a great synthesist;” the work is too unfocused to earn such a moniker and is notable more for its promise than its attainment. But the paintings Thompson left behind upon his untimely death of a drug overdoes in 1966 do form one of the most tantalizing, and frustrating, “What if’s?” in recent art history.

  • A Stellar Century of Cultivating Culture
    COVERFEATURE THE PAAMPROVINCETOWN ART ASSOCIATION AND MUSEUM 2014 A Stellar Century of Cultivating Culture By Christopher Busa Certainly it is impossible to capture in a few pages a century of creative activity, with all the long hours in the studio, caught between doubt and decision, that hundreds of artists of the area have devoted to making art, but we can isolate some crucial directions, key figures, and salient issues that motivate artists to make art. We can also show why Provincetown has been sought out by so many of the nation’s notable artists, performers, and writers as a gathering place for creative activity. At the center of this activity, the Provincetown Art Associ- ation, before it became an accredited museum, orga- nized the solitary efforts of artists in their studios to share their work with an appreciative pub- lic, offering the dynamic back-and-forth that pushes achievement into social validation. Without this audience, artists suffer from lack of recognition. Perhaps personal stories are the best way to describe PAAM’s immense contribution, since people have always been the true life source of this iconic institution. 40 PROVINCETOWNARTS 2014 ABOVE: (LEFT) PAAM IN 2014 PHOTO BY JAMES ZIMMERMAN, (righT) PAA IN 1950 PHOTO BY GEORGE YATER OPPOSITE PAGE: (LEFT) LUCY L’ENGLE (1889–1978) AND AGNES WEINRICH (1873–1946), 1933 MODERN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE COVER (PAA), 8.5 BY 5.5 INCHES PAAM ARCHIVES (righT) CHARLES W.

But as they were profoundly committed to the energetic Abstract Expressionist way of painting that had been formative of their styles, they would not give it up, choosing instead to adapt it to their equally profound need to paint recognizable imagery. Artists like Grace Hartigan, Elaine De Kooning, and Lester Johnson in the east, Nathan Oliviera, Elaine DeKooning Richard Diebenkorn, and David Parks in the west, and Vera Clement in Chicago had only this dual allegiance in common. The paintings of twenty-seven major American Figurative Expressionists have been Figurative Expressionists have been organized by Kresge Art Museum Curator April Kingsley into an exhibition which will open at the Kresge Art Museum in fall/winter 2010 and then be available to travel to other venues starting in 2011.

  • California State University, Northridge Exploitation
    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE EXPLOITATION, WOMEN AND WARHOL A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art by Kathleen Frances Burke May 1986 The Thesis of Kathleen Frances Burke is approved: Louise Leyis, M.A. Dianne E. Irwin, Ph.D. r<Iary/ Kenan Ph.D. , Chair California State. University, Northridge ii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to Dr. Mary Kenon Breazeale, whose tireless efforts have brought it to fruition. She taught me to "see" and interpret art history in a different way, as a feminist, proving that women's perspectives need not always agree with more traditional views. In addition, I've learned that personal politics does not have to be sacrificed, or compartmentalized in my life, but that it can be joined with a professional career and scholarly discipline. My time as a graduate student with Dr. Breazeale has had a profound effect on my personal life and career, and will continue to do so whatever paths my life travels. For this I will always be grateful. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In addition, I would like to acknowledge the other members of my committee: Louise Lewis and Dr. Dianne Irwin. They provided extensive editorial comments which helped me to express my ideas more clearly and succinctly. I would like to thank the six branches of the Glendale iii Public Library and their staffs, in particular: Virginia Barbieri, Claire Crandall, Fleur Osmanson, Nora Goldsmith, Cynthia Carr and Joseph Fuchs. They provided me with materials and research assistance for this project. I would also like to thank the members of my family.

The gallery has made central a mission to explore the ever-expanding canon of Post-World War II American art. Over the last several years, the gallery has presented major retrospectives to champion artists whose stories needed to be re-told. Their significant contributions to art history have been further reinforced by recent institutional acquisitions and exhibitions. 13 American Artists celebrates this ongoing endeavor, and the new gallery, presenting several artists and estates for the first time in our New York City location.

    shfap SHFAP and Martha Henry present Pairings: Gandy Brodie / Bob Thompson: The Ecstasy of Influence, an exhibition about the painterly relationship of Gandy Brodie and Bob Thompson in the late 1950’s. Gandy Brodie and Bob Thompson both spent the summer of 1958 in Provincetown, Massachusetts, amidst a community of other artists that included Mimi Gross, Red Grooms, Jay Milder, Wolf Kahn, Emilio Cruz, Lester Johnson, Anne Tabachnick, Dody Müller and Christopher Lane. Art historian Judith Wilson characterized that Provincetown summer as exemplifying an “ecstasy of influence”: the influences of contemporary figurative painters on Thompson’s work. She wrote about this community in the 1998 Whitney Museum exhibition catalogue for Thompson’s retrospective. Jan Müller who died in January of 1958, was undeniably a significant influence on the developing Bob Thompson, despite the fact that they never met. However, the influences of other members of this community on Thompson have been less explored. Wilson touches on this as she quotes a mutual friend of Brodie and Thompson, the painter Emilio Cruz. Cruz has stated that Thompson painted “his first figurative paintings” in response to the influence of Gandy Brodie. In her Whitney essay, Wilson notes that “The gray-brown palette, division of the canvas into large rectangles of contrasting light and dark tones, and the mask- like treatment of faces, as in Brodie’s “The Penetration of a Thought”, 1958 and Thompson’s “Differences”, 1958, seems to bear this out.” This exhibition includes both “The Penetration of a Thought”, 1958 by Brodie and Thompson’s “Differences”, 1958, among 12 paintings all from the period steven harvey fine art projects gallery 24 east 73 street, #2f new york ny 10021 917.861.7312 office 780 riverside drive # 5aa new york ny 10032 212.281.2281 e [email protected] w www.shfap.com shfap between 1958 and 1964, exploring this influence and relationship between these two important post-war figurative painters.
