    Oral history interview with William T. Wiley, 1997 October 8-November 20 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Interview PAUL KARLSTROM: Smithsonian Institution, an interview with William T. Wiley, at his studio in Woodacre, California, north of San Francisco. The date is October 8, 1997. This is the first session in what I hope will be a somewhat extensive series. The interviewer for the archives is Paul Karlstrom. Okay, here we go, Bill. I've been looking forward to this interview for quite a long time, ever since we met back in, it was the mid-seventies, as a matter of fact. At that time, in fact, I visited right here in this studio. We talked about your papers and talked about sometime doing an interview, but for one reason or another, it didn't happen. Well, the advantage to that, as I mentioned earlier, is that a lot has transpired since then, which means we have a lot more to talk about. Anyway, we can't go backwards, and here we are. I wanted to start out by setting the stage for this interview. As I mentioned, Archive's [of American Art] interviews are comprehensive and tend to move along sort of biographical, chronological structure, at least it gives something to follow through. But what I would like to do first of all, just very briefly, is kind of set the stage, and by way of an observation that I would like to make, which is also, I think, a compliment.

  • Galleries, Like Their Buyers, Make Themselves at Home in Palm Beach the City Has Become an Art Hub of Its Own That Benefits from Being Near, but Not In, Miami
    https://nyti.ms/39zx4u7 Galleries, Like Their Buyers, Make Themselves at Home in Palm Beach The city has become an art hub of its own that benefits from being near, but not in, Miami. By Hilarie M. Sheets Dec. 1, 2020 Updated 10:28 a.m. ET When the pandemic forced Art Basel Miami Beach to shift its raucous annual art fair to online viewing rooms and events, a cluster of top New York City galleries still made the pilgrimage to South Florida in hopes of connecting with collectors in person. Notably, they all chose to set up outposts not in Miami but some 70 miles north in Palm Beach — home (or second or third home) to a concentrated community of prominent art collectors sheltering for the winter. “What dealer wouldn’t want to be where the collectors are?” said Adam Sheffer, a vice president at Pace Gallery, who is heading up a new space in Palm Beach leased through Memorial Day. “It allows for an ongoing dialogue with some of these same people you would see in Miami once a year, but now you get to do it on their turf, in a way that’s safe where they’re comfortable.” Building on the success of galleries following their wealthy patrons to East Hampton, N.Y., this summer in the early months of the pandemic, Pace, Acquavella Galleries and Sotheby’s auction house coordinated opening spaces in Royal Poinciana Plaza adjacent to the contemporary gallery Gavlak, long based in Palm Beach.

  • 5 Essential Tips for Collecting Drawings Scott Indrisek Sep
    AiA news-service 5 Essential Tips for Collecting Drawings Scott Indrisek sep. 13, 2019 5:44pm Andy Warhol Kenny Burrell, 1956 Ambleside Gallery While prints are a common entry point into the art market, there may come a day when a budding collector yearns for a unique artwork, rather than an edition. Works on paper, specifically drawings, can be a fruitful place to start: a way to access an artist’s intimate process without breaking the bank. While some artists, like Robert Longo or Kara Walker , make drawing a centerpiece of their practice, for many the medium is one tool among many. Drawings can be sketches or studies pointed toward fuller paintings or sculptures; they can be whimsical diversions, quick experiments, or fully fleshed-out artworks in their own right. They “can provide a very different creative outlet to the artist’s primary practice,” said Sueyun Locks of Philadelphia’s Locks Gallery, “and thus can offer us a more complete story about an artist’s oeuvre.” Kara Walker The Root, The Demise of the Flesh, The Immortal Negress, 2018 Sikkema Jenkins & Co. They may never have the commanding wall power of a massive Abstract Expressionist canvas, but that’s part of the point. Drawings have a quieter energy, one that welcomes deep, close-up contemplation. And unlike larger works—which, in many cases, may have been completed with the aid of studio assistants—a drawing is one of the easiest ways to commune directly with the hand of the artist, hunched over her desk or drafting table. Here are a few key tips for anyone looking to start collecting this singular medium.

  • NATHAN OLIVEIRA Figural Variants
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NATHAN OLIVEIRA Figural Variants April 1- May 8, 2021 540 Ramona Street Palo Alto, CA Nathan Oliveira, Imi #3, 1990, 20 x 16 inches, oil on canvas Pamela Walsh Gallery is pleased to present Nathan Oliveira: Figural Variants, an exploration of Oliveira’s visual language as it evolved through his dedicated study of the figure. Associated with the Bay Area Figurative Movement, he was amongst artists who returned to figural subjects after the explosion of Abstract Expressionism swept through New York in the 40s and 50s. Oliveira’s work was rooted in his fascination with abstracting the human form while rendering it with a sense of honesty. He regularly worked with live models, learning their forms through repeated observation and conjuring figural variants through a diversity of mediums. Throughout his extensive career, Oliveira developed his artistic practice to flow seamlessly across multiple disciplines into one continuous voice. We are delighted to share a selection of paintings, sculptures, and prints from 1975 – 2007, highlighting his mastery of the human figure. A key figure in American Art,Nathan Oliveira (1928-2010) was a persistently individualistic artist who took his own path in defiance of the ideology of the time. With an unshakable concern for the figure, Oliveira was a prominent member of the Bay Area Figurative Movement, along with Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, Elmer Bischoff and others. A resident of Palo Alto, he taught at Stanford University for 32 years as a Professor of Studio Art. In 1959, Oliveira gained early fame as a painter, when four of his works were selected by Peter Selz for his curatorial debut exhibition, New Images of Man, at the Museum of Modern Art in NY.

Wiley A Window on History, by George. 1993 pastel, Conte crayon, charcoal, graphite and acrylic on canvas 1 61 /2 x 87 '12 inches Courtesy of John Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco, California Photograph by Cesar Rubio / r.- .. 12 -.'. Christine Giles and Hatherine Plake Hough ccentricity, individualism and nonconformity have been central to San Fran­ cisco Bay Area and Northern California's spirit since the Gold Rush era. Town Enames like Rough and Ready, Whiskey Flats and "Pair of Dice" (later changed to Paradise) testify to the raw humor and outsider self-image rooted in Northern California culture. This exhibition focuses on three artists' exploration of a different western frontier-that of individual creativity and collaboration. It brings together paintings, sculptures, assemblages and works on paper created individually and collabora­ tively by three close friends: William Allan, Robert Hudson and William T. Wiley. ·n, Bob and Bill William Allan, the eldest, was born in Everett, Washington, in 1936, followed by Wiley, born in Bedford, Indiana, in 1937 and Hudson, born in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1938. Their families eventually settled in Richland, in southeast Washington, where the three met and began a life-long social and professional relationship. Richland was the site of one of the nation's first plutonium production plants-Hanford Atomic Works. 1 Hudson remembers Richland as a plutonium boom town: the city's population seemed to swell overnight from a few thousand to over 30,000. Most of the transient population lived in fourteen square blocks filled with trailer courts.

Born in New York City in 1940, David grew up in a Jewish family in Brooklyn. David recounts how an interest in Native American cultures originally brought him to the drums and tells the story of how he acquired his first drum kit at the age of 15. David explains that as an adolescent he aspired to be an artist and consequently attended Cooper Union after graduating from high school. David recounts his decision to leave New York in 1960 and drive out to California, where he immediately enrolled at the San Francisco Art Institute and soon after started playing music with fellow artists. David explains how he became the drummer for Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1966 and reminisces about the legendary Monterey Pop Festival they performed at the following year. He shares numerous stories about Janis Joplin and speaks movingly about his grief upon hearing the news of her death. David discusses the various bands he played in after the dissolution of Big Brother and the Holding Company, as well as the many places he performed over the years in Marin County. He concludes his oral history with a discussion of his family: his daughters Alarza and Liz, both of whom are singer- songwriters, and his wife Joan Payne, an actress and singer.
