  • Giacometti Retrospective to Be Held at New York's Acquavella Galleries Inc
    ARCHIVE ACQUAVELLA GALLERIES Giacometti retrospective to be held at New York's Acquavella Galleries Inc. Acquavella's good name has guaranteed the participation of several distinguished lenders JASON EDWARD KAUFMAN 1st November 1994 01:00 BST Acquavella Galleries Inc. are presenting a museum-quality retrospective of seventy-three works by Alberto Giacometti. The exhibition, until 10 December, comprises sixty-three sculptures and ten paintings dating from the early 1920s until 1965, the year before the artist’s death. The collection includes signature works such as “Woman with her Throat Cut”, “The Invisible Object (Hands Holding the Void)’, “The Pointing Man”, “The Walking Man’, “The Nose”, “The Hand, The Chariot”, and five of “The Women of Venice”. The range of museum, dealer, and private loans from here and abroad attest to Mr Acquavella’s daunting reputation, a presence fortified by his 1989 acquisition in partnership with Sotheby’s of the Pierre Matisse estate, the source for a number of the exhibited works. Gallery exhibitions of Giacometti have not been wanting in Manhattan. Larry Gagosian had twenty-one works in a career-spanning show last year, and this summer Chozo Yoshii assembled fifteen, pre-1930 pieces, along with the artist’s “Tentative Catalogue of Early Works” and famous letter to Pierre Matisse. New York museums have been less attentive to the Swiss- born master; the last retrospectives were held at the Guggenheim twenty- one years ago, and at the Museum of Modern Art in 1965. (Major shows mounted by the Hirshhorn (1988-89) and the Museum of Modern in Paris (1991-92) did not travel.) The Acquavella catalogue contains essays by Giacometti biographer James Lord and former critic for the New York Times, Michael Brenson.

  • Calder and Sound
    Gryphon Rue Rower-Upjohn Calderand Sound Herbert Matter, Alexander Calder, Tentacles (cf. Works section, fig. 50), 1947 “Noise is another whole dimension.” Alexander Calder 1 A mobile carves its habitat. Alternately seductive, stealthy, ostentatious, it dilates and retracts, eternally redefining space. A noise-mobile produces harmonic wakes – metallic collisions punctuating visual rhythms. 2 For Alexander Calder, silence is not merely the absence of sound – silence gen- erates anticipation, a bedrock feature of musical experience. The cessation of sound suggests the outline of a melody. 3 A new narrative of Calder’s relationship to sound is essential to a rigorous portrayal and a greater comprehension of his genius. In the scope of Calder’s immense œuvre (thousands of sculptures, more than 22,000 documented works in all media), I have identified nearly four dozen intentionally sound-producing mobiles. 4 Calder’s first employment of sound can be traced to the late 1920s with Cirque Calder (1926–31), an event rife with extemporised noises, bells, harmonicas and cymbals. 5 His incorporation of gongs into his sculpture followed, beginning in the early 1930s and continuing through the mid-1970s. Nowadays preservation and monetary value mandate that exhibitions of Calder’s work be in static, controlled environments. Without a histor- ical imagination, it is easy to disregard the sound component as a mere appendage to the striking visual mien of mobiles. As an additional obstacle, our contemporary consciousness is clogged with bric-a-brac associations, such as wind chimes and baby crib bibelots. As if sequestered from this trail of mainstream bastardi- sations, the element of sound in certain works remains ulterior.

    Bios of RED SPRING Curating the End of the World Contributors RED SPRING is dedicated to living legend, Algernon Miller, a Father of Afrofuturist Art. Ekpe Abioto Ekpe (pronounced “eck-pay), a “musical philanthropist” and artistic director of GENIUS UNLIMITED, who specializes in children’s music and cultural entertainment. Since his career began in 1974, his motivational learning workshops on self-esteem, creative thinking, conflict resolution, drug prevention, and gang awareness have been well received by students, teachers, and administrators. As a musician, producer, recording artist, songwriter and arts educator, he plays African instruments such as the djembe drum, kalimba (thumb piano), shekere, and others, flute and saxophone. He gives entertaining and educational performances at schools, churches, festivals, colleges and universities, and is currently promoting his two CD’s entitled, “I AM A GENIUS” and “THE SPIRIT OF AFRICAN MUSIC.” His interactive music video “DON’T TOUCH A GUN” has been recognized and used as an effective means of keeping guns out of the hands of children. He is a part of The African Jazz Ensemble, a 10-piece band made up of some of Memphis' finest musicians. They've played together for over 40 years, and members have toured the world with Michael Jackson, Al Green, BB King, Eric Clapton, the Dells, Luther Allison, and Rufus and Carla Thomas. They formed the African Jazz Ensemble as a way to incorporate African influences into more traditional jazz, soul and R&B. Linda D. Addison is one of the most honored speculative poets of all time. Over the course of more than 300 published poems, stories and articles, Addison has been awarded the Horror Writer Association’s Bram Stoker Award six times.

WALLY FINDLAY GALLERIES 124 East 57th Street, New York, NY (212) 421 5390 [email protected] Aïzpiri Paul Aïzpiri (b. 1919) was born in Paris on May 14, 1919. Aïzpiri entered l’École Bulle to learn antique restoration, after his father insisted that he first learn a trade as a means of assuring his livelihood. After the course he entered the Beaux-Arts to study painting. Aïzpiri was certainly encouraged as a young painter in his early 20’s, during somber war-torn France, exhibiting amongst the painters of l’École Pont-Aven and the Nabis. He became a member of the Salon d’Automne in 1945, won Third Prize at the Salon de Moins de Trente Ans, of which he was a founding member and later showed at the Salon “Les Peintres Témoin de leur Temps”. In 1948, Aïzpiri won the Prix Corsica which allowed him to go to Marseilles. His stay there so impressed him, that he declared it was a turning point of his art. Not only did he find a whole new world to paint which was far different subjectively from any life he had known in Paris, but also a new world of color.

  • Alexander Calder (American, 1898–1976) the Ghost (Maquette), 1964 Painted Sheet Metal, Metal Rods, and Steel Wire Leonard and Ruth Horwich Family Loan, EL1995.13
    PB Alexander Calder (American, 1898–1976) The Ghost (maquette), 1964 Painted sheet metal, metal rods, and steel wire Leonard and Ruth Horwich Family Loan, EL1995.13 Alexander Calder redefined sculpture in the 1940s by incorporating the element of movement. He created motorized works and later hanging sculptures, or “mobiles,” that rotate freely in response to airflow. Using wire, found objects, and industrial materials, Calder constructed three-dimensional line drawings of people, animals, and objects that he activated with kinetic verve.
