Ting left China in 1949 ending up in Paris in 1952, where he was to live for the next six years. As a poor struggling artist he became acquainted with Karel Appel, Asger Jorn and Pierre Alechinsky, members of the CoBrA-group. Ting arrived in New York in 1958 when Abstract Expressionism was at its height. He became friends with the American artist Sam Francis, and the movement had a profound influence on his work. Whereas he had struggled in Paris, in New York Ting could paint and sell his work. His paintings featured bold, dripping strokes, his work at the time mainly comprising poetic abstractions in the manner of the Paris- based Chinese artist, Zao Wouki. It was only in the Seventies that he finally developed his now distinctive style, using Chinese calligraphic brushstrokes to define outlines and filling flat areas of colour with vivid acrylic paint. Since then Ting has constantly refined his representational style, his colourful and flamboyant works now ranking among the most admired examples of popular figurative art. After more than twenty years in New York, he moved to Amsterdam. In 2002 he suffered a severe brain haemorrhage which put an end to his artistic career. He died shortly after his children moved him back to New York in May 2010.

The Late Walasse Ting
Jul 01, 2011 10:34 +08 The Late Walasse Ting Renowned Chinese-Western visual artist and poet, Walasse Ting, departed peacefully on May 17, 2010 from a severe brain hemorrhage since 2002 at a tender age of 80 years old. He was formerly known as Ding Xingquan. Completely self-taught, his signature style is a beautiful fusion of Western art and his Chinese roots. Ting’s paintings were that of Chinese calligraphic black outlines, with fluorescent colors where subjects usually consisted of nude women and cats, birds and other animals. Having briefly studied at Shanghai Art Academy, Ting travelled to France in 1946 where he lived as a struggling poor artist for the next 6 years. It was during this time that he changed his name to Walasse, adopting the last three letters of the Fauvist icon’s name, Henri Matisse whose works he had encountered. The first few years in Paris saw Ting forging a close friendship with Pierre Alechinsky, a Belgian painter who acquainted him with the momentary but significant northern European avant-garde artists’ group CoBrA, which included members like Karel Appel and Asger Jorn. During this period, Ting was highly exposed to Abstract Expressionism and works of Pablo Picasso, which shaped him as an artist to be. The highlight of Ting’s career was in 1964 when he befriended abstract expressionist painter and print maker, Sam Francis whom he was highly influenced by. Together, they worked on “One Cent Life”, a collection of 62 lithographs from 28 artists including famous Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Tom Wesselmann, James Rosenquist, Asger Jorn, and Karel Appel.

Artseen, Vivian Springford
ArtSeen: Vivian Springford By Barbara A. MacAdam December 14, 2020 Vivian Springford, Untitled, 1973. Acrylic on canvas, 48 x 48 x 1 3/8 inches. Courtesy Almine Rech, New York. Photo: Dan Bradica. Abstract painter Vivian Springford (1913–2003) has come a long way, from both her early black Abstract Expressionist paintings and her work as illustrator of Albert Carr’s book Juggernaut: the Path of Dictatorship, for which she portrayed 20 political dictators from the Napoleonic era to the early 20th century. Springford’s career followed a circuitous route, eventually finding the point where, as she explained, “My painting is my own small plot of energy, in terms of color and movement, in the universal whole.” From Franz Kline-like gestural paintings to the stain-soaked canvases that became her signature works, Springford found her place in an ever-shifting abstract art world. The 18 paintings in this delightful show attest to her success. A 1932 debutante, the Milwaukee-born, New York City-raised artist eschewed her privileged private-school upbringing and attended the Art Students League instead of college, moving in bohemian circles at a fertile moment in the city’s cultural life. Her work captured the eye of New York Times critic Howard Devree and the prominent critic-scholar and Ab Ex proponent Harold Rosenberg, who helped her land her first show in 1960 at the Great Jones Gallery in New York. This was followed by a second solo show, at the Preston Gallery, in 1963. The opening at the Great Jones Gallery appears in the short 1961 movie Bowl of Cherries, written and directed by William Kronick.

Press Release Asger Jorn
Press Release Asger Jorn The Prints March 23―June 30, 2019 Mönchsberg [4] A twofold premiere: the first comprehensive retrospective of the work Press of Asger Jorn (1914 Vejrum, DK―1973 Aarhus, DK) in Austria will also Mönchsberg 32 be the first exhibition outside Denmark to present the artist’s entire 5020 Salzburg printed oeuvre. Austria T +43 662 842220-601 Salzburg, March 22, 2019. In the exhibition Asger Jorn. The Prints, the F +43 662 842220-700 Museum der Moderne Salzburg presents around 550 works of graphic art by [email protected] the preeminent Danish visual artist, including lithographs, woodcuts, www.museumdermoderne.at etchings, linocuts, silkscreen prints, and potato prints. “As with past exhibition projects, we are drawing on our own collection; fine art prints make up half of our holdings, and among them are works by Asger Jorn given to the museum by its founding director, Otto Breicha, that are now on view in our galleries. A generous loan from the Museum Jorn enables us to show the complete set of ca. 550 prints, the first such presentation anywhere in the world,” Thorsten Sadowsky, director of the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, notes. An ensemble of fifty-two works dating from between 1933 and 1939 that were recently rediscovered in Denmark and have been on public display only once is also on its way to Salzburg. Complementing his work in painting—and, to Jorn’s mind, in no way secondary to it—the prints he created between the 1930s and 1970s bear witness to the artist’s zest for experimentation and his interest in the potentials of his materials as well as his prodigious fabulist’s imagination and wit.

Vivian Springford (American Painter, 1914-2003)
237 East Palace Avenue Santa Fe, NM 87501 800 879-8898 505 989-9888 505 989-9889 Fax [email protected] Vivian Springford (American Painter, 1914-2003) Vivian Springford was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and educated at the Spence School in New York City, and then the Art Students League. Born to a prominent family (her father was the former president and chairman of the board of Sevel, Inc, an early maker of refrigerators), she was pictured in The New York Times “Debutantes of the Winter Season in New York” in 1932. Originally a portrait artist, she illustrated Albert Carr’s 1938 book Juggernaut with portraits of twenty political dictators from the Napoleanic era to the early twentieth century. She was championed in the late 1950s by Howard DeVree, the New York Times art critic, and Harold Rosenberg helped Springford get her first show at Great Jones Gallery in 1960. The show generated much excitement and was filmed in the movie “Bowl of Cherries”, in the film library of the Museum of Modern Art. Prominent collectors such as Leon Mnuchin purchased paintings from the exhibition. Natalie Edgar reviewed the show for Art News, and wrote: “Vivian Springford has a freely brushed calligraphic style with the fantasy and naturalism of Chinese derivation. An arrested immanence results.” James R. Mellow wrote in the Arts MagaZine: “Calligraphy is said to have played an important part in the development of her style, but its effect upon the dominating blacks of these paintings is kinesthetic rather than formal – that is, it supplies the impetuous but not the resultant shape of things.

The Bma Presents 130 Rarely Seen Artists' Books By
Media Contacts: Anne Mannix-Brown Jessica Novak Sarah Pedroni 443-573-1870 THE BMA PRESENTS 130 RARELY SEEN ARTISTS’ BOOKS BY PICASSO, MIRO, HOCKNEY, HARTIGAN, AND OTHERS Exhibition casts light on little-known works by many renowned artists BALTIMORE, MD (February 10, 2017)—The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) announced today that the museum’s most anticipated exhibition of the spring, Off the Shelf: Modern & Contemporary Artists’ Books, will be on view March 12- June 25, 2017. The exhibition presents more than 130 artists’ books—artworks conceived of and produced in book form—and prints by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Kiki Smith, David Hockney, and Ed Ruscha. Stephen King, Frank O’Hara, and Robert Creeley are among the 30+ authors represented. More than half of the artists’ books and related prints in the exhibition have never before been on view at the BMA. “This exhibition is an extraordinary opportunity to see how giants of the literary, publishing, and visual arts worlds often combined their talents to create artworks that unfold page by page as text and image harmonize,” said Rena Hoisington, Senior Curator of Prints, Drawings & Photographs. “Artists’ books played a significant role in 20th-century art, and yet, the medium isn’t as widely known as it should be. This exhibition will hopefully increase visitors’ understanding of the unique art form.” Off the Shelf explores a variety of subjects from animals and classic children’s tales such as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, to works by specific artists, such as Pierre Bonnard, Wassily Kandinsky, and Dieter Roth.

PIERRE ALECHINSKY: a PRINT RETROSPECTIVE, an Exhibition Exploring
The Museum of Modern Art 50th Anniversary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE no NO. 33 MASTER PRINTS BY ALECHINSKY TO OPEN AT MUSEUM PIERRE ALECHINSKY: A PRINT RETROSPECTIVE, an exhibition exploring this contemporary artist's work in the print media, will open in the third-floor Sachs Galleries at The Museum of Modern Art on June 11, 1981. Organized by Riva Castleman, Director, and Audrey Isselbacher, Assistant Curator in the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books, with the co operation of Mr. Alechinsky and Yves Riviere, the exhibition will remain on view through August 11, 1981. A selection of 85 works drawn almost entirely from the Museum's col lection and spanning every phase of Alechinsky's career from his first print made in 1946 to the present, comprises the retrospective. Pierre Alechinsky has devoted more energy, technical skill, imagination and patience to the print media than perhaps any other contemporary artist. The Belgian-born artist has created some 950 works in various print media. Today, according to Riva Castleman, "he continues to retrieve from his crowded past and bustling present the astonishing images that inhabit his prints." It is Alechinsky's seemingly insatiable hunger for experiment and experience that makes his works so vital and vivid. Pierre Alechinsky, who was born in Brussels in 1927, began to make prints as a student at La Cambre, the Belgian national college of archi tecture and decorative arts. While he was there he experimented in all the print media he would later use: linoleum cut, woodcut, etching and continued/ 11 West .53 Street, New York, NY 10019,212-956 6100 Coble: Modemort NO.

Walasse Ting's One Cent Life
Kramer 1 Walasse Ting’s One Cent Life In 1964, artist/poet Walasse Ting presented a pioneering book of poetry that brought together artists of divergent influence and background, many whose names would dominate Contemporary art. Melding western movements from Abstract Expressionism to American Pop Art in harmony with Ting’s eastern infused English prose, twenty-seven artists worked with Ting to illustrate the pages of One Cent Life with sixty-two original lithographs.1 Ryerson Library holds Regular Edition numbered 1348/2000, which features a hand-printed cover by participating artists Roy Lichtenstein and Pierre Alchinsky. One hundred special editions were also released on handmade paper signed by individual artists.2 Born in China in 1929, Walasse Ting brought his eastern style of poetry and art to Paris in 1952, where he met Alchinsky, Jorn and Appel. Ting found himself New York City in 1956 to discover new friends Francis, Wesselman and Oldenberg.3 Global exploration and creative counterparts helped inspire Ting to attempt to publish a book of all-encompassing movements and worldly artists. Ting began the undertaking of this project by writing the poems to be illustrated by fellow artists that would soon fill the pages of One Cent Life.4 He recounts the genesis of the compilation: “I wrote 61 poems in ’61 in a small room like black coffin, inside room only salami, whiskey, sexy photographs from Times Square. No Bible, no cookbook, no telephone book, no checkbook. Short Two fingers typing, talking about World & garbage, You and I, Egg and Earth.”5 This vision began to take physical shape when friends of Ting and Francis from around the globe created lithographic imagery in response to Ting’s seedy and erotic poetry.

WALASSE TING (1929 - 2010) Front Cover: Rooster 82 x 127 cm, Acrylic on rice paper WALASSE TING 8th – 23rd February 2016 CATTO GALLERY 100 Heath Street • Hampstead • London NW3 1DP Tel: +44 (0)20 7435 6660 • [email protected] 3 Six years after his death, Walasse Ting is emerging as one of the most interesting and important painters of the 20th century. He represents a fascinating historical story. Here’s an artist who was present at the centre of the 20th century world art scene - first in Paris, then New York. Simultanously, he was an outsider. Ting was born in Wuxi, China in 1929 but raised in Shanghai. Though he underwent some early formal training at the Shanghai Art Academy, he was largely self- taught and would even paint on the pavements of his home town. During the 1940s, Ting’s reputation grew. He persuaded a bookshop owner in Hong Kong to display some of his watercolours, and this brought him to the attention of business magnate John Keswick, who bought a number of paintings for $100 each. Though his star seemed to be rising, Ting decided to leave China for Paris - the heart of the international art scene. He arrived with barely any money and very few connections. But slowly he formed close connections with the CoBrA Group - a school of artists based in Copenhagen (Co), Brussels (Br), Amsterdam (A). CoBrA preached pure experimentation in colour, and Ting clearly embraced the philosophy. He also formed a lifelong friendship with Belgian artist, Pierre Alechinsky, who discovered Ting sleeping on bare boards in a tiny attic room.
