  • Donald Sultan
    THE DRAWING ROOM 66H Newtown Lane, East Hampton, New York 11937 T 631 324.5016 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 2012 DONALD SULTAN Rouge Poppies April 25 2012, conté on paper, 22 ! x 30 " inches Flocked Oranges on Branches January 22 2002, charcoal and flock on paper 19 # x 25 ! inches From June 28 through July 30, The Drawing Room in East Hampton presents a selection of important drawings and a striking new painting by DONALD SULTAN. This rich collection of works on paper, punctuated by a single 2010 Lantern Flowers painting, reveals the artist’s inventive approach to his quotidian subjects which loom larger than life on paper and become transformative sculptural objects in tar and plaster. Two early drawings, Black Roses 1988 and Black Lemon 1989 set the stage for Sultan’s dramatic and masterful use of the dry, ancient medium of charcoal in the following decades. Densely wrought in the friable medium, the small, sole lemon is a signature Sultan silhouette, widely known since the Museum of Modern Art’s 1988 exhibition, Black Lemons. Several drawings selected from his powerful 2000-2002 series, Oranges on Branches, conjure memories of walking through an orchard laden with fruit. Sultan’s playful and deft balance of compressed charcoal mark making, combined with the velvet flocking of the fruit, dazzle and confound. Ever inspired by the geometry and sensuality of flowers, Sultan made a large series, Wallflowers, in April of 2007 using the French medium of gouache for its opacity of hues worthy of flower petals. In these patterns of free floating wisteria, fritillaria, bluebells, and coreopsis, and many other species, Sultan reduces and repeats the architecture of each blossom in marvelous variations of form and color across the white expanse of the page.

  • The Museum Off Modern Art
    The Museum off Modern Art For Immediate Release January 1988 DONALD SULTAN'S BLACK LEMONS February 4 - May 3, 1988 An exhibition of monumental prints by American artist Donald Sultan opens at The Museum of Modern Art on February 4, 1988. Organized by Riva Castleman, director of the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books, DONALD SULTAN'S BLACK LEMONS includes several groups of black-and-white aquatints executed between 1984 and 1987, as well as a lead sculpture and a folding screen with printed panels. On view through May 3, the exhibition is supported by the Associates of the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books. Taking the distinctive form of the lemon—the subject of many of his somber tar-on-tile paintings—Sultan has used a unique procedure to create these large prints. Beginning with a copperplate evenly covered with resin particles, the artist has blown through a glass pipe to draw the images with his own breath. With this technique he has achieved the blurred effect of heavily applied charcoal. In an article written at the time of a 1986 exhibition in Paris, Sultan's prints were described by Brigitte Baer: "Here they are, huge, covering the wall from the celling to the floor: gorgeous, fat, velvet black, with those hazy outlines, as powdery as if they had been covered with some mysterious kind of black icing sugar. The room is swarming with black lemons." Three of the black lemon prints have been mounted in the traditional oriental manner as a six-fold screen, which is shown for the first time in this exhibition.

  • Oral History Interview with Sylvan Cole, 2000 June-October
    Oral history interview with Sylvan Cole, 2000 June-October 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 Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Sylvan Cole from June through October, 2000. The interview took place at the Sylvan Cole Gallery, New York and was conducted by Avis Berman for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. The reader should bear in mind that he or she is reading a transcript of spoken, rather than written prose. Interview AVIS BERMAN: This is Avis Berman on June 28th, 2000, interviewing Sylvan Cole in his gallery at 101 West 57th Street. And at the risk of being a little bit redundant, would you begin by stating your full name and your date of birth? SYLVAN COLE: Sylvan Cole, Junior – that’s the way I was born, no middle initial. And I was born January 10th, 1918. MS. BERMAN: Now I will start, and ask you how did you get the name Sylvan? MR. COLE: I am a junior. And Dad got the name – It’s interesting; Dad was Sylvan Cohn, C-O-H-N. And right after I was born – I actually was born Cohn – I guess I was a year old, and the name was changed to Cole for business purposes and all the rest. And the funny thing is, all Sylvans – or most Sylvans – are Jewish.

  • Picasso and Chicago at the Art Institute of Chicago,Collectors Make
    Picasso and Chicago at The Art Institute of Chicago The “Picasso and Chicago” exhibit marks the special hundred- year relationship of Pablo Picasso with the city of Chicago and features more than 250 works selected from the The Art Institute of Chicago’s own exceptional holdings and from private collections throughout city. Representing Picasso’s innovations in nearly every media—paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, and ceramics—the works not only tell the story of Picasso’s artistic development but also the city’s great interest in and support for the artist since the Armory Show of 1913, a signal event in the history of modern art. The 1913 Armory Show showcased the works of the most radical European artists of the day alongside their progressive American contemporaries and forever changed the artistic landscape for artists, collectors, critics, and cultural institutions in the United States. Unlike the other venues for the Armory Show in New York and Boston, which were private institutions, the Art Institute enjoys the distinction of being the only art museum to host the exhibition and as such, has the privilege of being the first in the United States to present the works of such artists as Constantin Brâncusi, Marcel Duchamp, Henri Matisse, and Picasso to the public. Indeed, Chicago’s interest in Picasso’s art would grow over the years, leading to a number of important distinctions: as just one remarkable example, in 1967 the city welcomed the artist’s first monumental work of public sculpture. “It is clear in even the briefest of histories that Chicago played a critical, early role in the reception and development of modern art in the United States,” said Stephanie D’Alessandro, Gary C.

  • Museum Presents Four New Installations in Collection Galleries
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release December 1990 MUSEUM PRESENTS FOUR NEW INSTALLATIONS IN COLLECTION GALLERIES The Museum of Modern Art regularly rotates the exhibitions in its collection galleries to make a broad spectrum of its holdings available to the public. STILL LIFE INTO OBJECT Through February 19, 1991 This exhibition of prints traces innovations in the traditional genre of still life from the last decade of the nineteenth century to the 1970s. A variety of stylistic approaches to this conventional subject matter are presented, beginning with works by the Nabis and Cubists, and including master prints from the 1940s and 1950s by Georges Braque, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso. The exhibition concludes with prints by Jim Dine, Jasper Johns, and Claes Oldenburg, who, in depicting commonplace objects, redefined the subject matter of the still life and questioned the objective character of the print itself. Organized by Lindsay Leard, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Prints and Illustrated Books. (Paul J. Sachs Gallery, third floor) GIFTS OF THE ASSOCIATES: 1975-1990 Through February 19, 1991 This exhibition brings together thirty-nine prints by twenty-one artists, all of which were acquired annually with funds given by the Associates of the Museum's Department of Prints and Illustrated Books. The selection includes early twentieth-century prints by Erich Heckel, Mikhail Larionov, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso, as well as recent works by Richard Diebenkorn, Donald Judd, Barbara Kruger, and Roy Lichtenstein. In 1975, a small group of print collectors joined together to form the Associates in order to acquire new works for the collection, to study prints and printmaking, and to sponsor special departmental programs.

  • Facsimile Transmittal Sheet
    - Press Release for immediate release - Donald Sultan 24th June to the 19th September Ben Brown Fine Arts is proud to present a body of works by Donald Sultan, one of the most significant artists to emerge in the 1980’s. Featuring paintings and works on paper from 1984 to present, this exhibition will highlight his most iconic imagery. From lemons to dominoes to flowers, these deceptively complex works epitomize the distinctive stylistic approach he employs to depict objects inhabiting our everyday world. Though Donald Sultan has exhibited widely throughout the world and his works are featured in many distinguished collections, including more than 50 museums worldwide, he has not exhibited in the UK since 1989. Ben Brown is delighted to be able to re-present such a pertinent contemporary artist to London. Early in his career Sultan developed an intricate additive and subtractive approach to painting. Preparing his signature surface involves bolting a standard four-foot-square sheet of plywood to wooden stretchers, onto which he glues 12-inch-square vinyl floor tiles and applies butyl rubber (commonly used in roofing) to the surface. This industrial substance has a distinctive quality as it dries – it extends the picture’s edge creating organic yet definite outlines, and serves as a ready-made, negative space. Sultan’s affinity to printmaking is evident in his paintings as he carves away any unnecessary rubber in a manner that is usually attributed to woodcuts or linocuts. He uses spackle and plaster to build up desired areas, then adds oil paint or silkscreen colour onto the surface.

T. Maclay “Every woman owes it to herself to look up Particular Passions – borrow the volume from your public library. Or, better still, buy it and put it with your favorite novel or poetry collection to sustain you. Every story in the book is an inspiration. This book is a joy and a tonic.” — Pioneer Press and Dispatch “Tantalizing glimpses into the lives of women who have not only made a living at their own “particular passion,” but have become well known, even world renowned, for doing work they love.” — Christian Science Monitor “A forceful inspiration – a revelation of woman’s courage, spirit, and strength.” — Sey Chassler, Editor in Chief Redbook “This is a wonderful book. The book is recommended reading for anyone – no matter what political or sociological background – who wants to know more about living history.” — Santa Cruz Sentinel “I have never enjoyed an oral history book more than this one.” — Sojourner “Oral histories of 46 fascinating women, unknowns to media stars, all tops in their fields.” — School Library Journal “A stellar compilation for selective reading or straight through.” — Kirkus “A fresh, rich, and absorbing book.

    Oral history interview with Tatyana Grosman, 1970 Mar. 31 Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Tatyana Grosman on March 31, 1970. The interview took place in Tatyana Grosman's home and was conducted by Paul Cummings for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. The reader should bear in mind that he or she is reading a transcript of spoken, rather than written, prose. This is a rough transcription that may include typographical errors. Interview PAUL CUMMINGS: This is March 31, 1970 - Paul Cummings talking to Tatyana Grosman in your house - right? TATYANA GROSMAN: Yes. Thank you for coming. MR. CUMMINGS: You were just about to say that you were born - where? MS. GROSMAN: I was born in Russia. MR. CUMMINGS: Whereabouts? MS. GROSMAN: In the Ural Mountains. That is actually in Siberia. The town was called Tziranbook and now it's called Svetslask. My father was the newspaper publisher in this town. You asked me previously how I became interested in printing. I would say it probably began at home since there were always books and newspapers - especially papers were always a great concern of my father's. I think that was it. So when the moment came in 1955 or 1956, when my husband became ill, that I had to do something there was no time to learn so I fell back on this heritage. MR. CUMMINGS: What kind of schools did you go to in Russia? MS.

  • Print, Making and the Work of Art Alone. Professor Paul Coldwell
    Print, making and the work of art alone. Professor Paul Coldwell Key note address SNAP 3- Kloster Bentlage/Rheine, Germany. Nov 12-15 2015 This paper will consider the relationship of print to the transmission of ideas through the multiple. This will include the changing role of the print studio and how artists are increasingly viewing print as an opportunity to produce work, which is distinct and resolved within the medium of print. I want to look at the changing role of print, not only for the way it can be the meeting place for technologies, but also for its position as a place of cross over between commercial and the aesthetic worlds. Furthermore, how artists are increasingly viewing print as an opportunity to produce work, which is both distinct and resolved within the medium of print. The history of printmaking covers a broad range of concerns, from those artists who have sought expression through the particular nature of the medium as well as those for whom print’s capacity to produce multiple images has been paramount. Of course print has always engaged a wide audience; that audience early on would have included those for whom the written word was out of their sphere, either through illiteracy or class. In medieval times, the small woodcut, cheaply printed and often sold at fairs would function not only as a souvenir but as means to understand the feeling of, for example, the gospels or connect with the potency of a particular saint with the print functioning as devotional object. Increasingly, it was through print that not only aesthetic ideas became currency, but also cartographical, philosophical, anatomical, medical etc.
