An attractive original pen & ink on posterboard, the design for a poster advertising an “Exhibition of Paintings - Best Work of American Artists - at the Davis Studio: Cor. Main & Park Streets”, which, according to the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art, was held at Arthur E. Davis’s Davis Art Galleries / Davis Studio in Worcester, Massachusetts between May 20 and June 17, 1895. A very attractive Aesthetic Movement- inspired design with a stylized vase of flowers and ribbons. Poster Board. 8.75”x11.25”. Some light soil, some wear, corners with chipping. Pencil notes along the bottom, apparently directions for the printer. [43405] SOLD 2. [Art School] 1892 Prospectus for Rockford Illinois Art School Run by the Inventor of Air Brushes. A prospectus for the Illinois Art School, located in Rockford, which was run by the wife of the man who invented air brushes. Well, sort of. The very first air-brush-type appliance was patented in 1876 by the Stanley brothers, of Stanley Steamer fame, and was used for coating photographic plates. An air-compressor brush for artists was invented a few years later by Abner Peeler "for the painting of watercolors and other artistic purposes" and was constructed with parts from a jeweler's workshop. Liberty Walkup of Mt. Morris, Illinois then refined the design for practical assembly and patented it with a name invented by his wife Mimi- ‘air-brush’. Mimi then founded the Illinois Art School, located in the Air Brush company building,and taught general artistic subjects as well as air-brushing to students from around the world, including American Impressionist Wilson Irvine. At Mimi’s school you could buy individual lessons for 50 cents, a week’s worth for $5, a month for $16, and 4 months for $50. That might seem a trifle steep, but the brochure assures prospective students that- “The demand for artists and teachers is due to a growing appreciation of Art productions, and demand is sure to intensify with the growth of population and the development of culture. It is certain that few fields of effort are more promising to success than the one now rapidly opening to those possessing professional skill as artists. Our students are occupying positions from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to South America. The work they have been able to do has caused the demand for more help of the same class, so much so that we have not been able to fill one-fourth the demand. One stenographer and many others in the same field of office work have laid down their pen and taken up art work as they learn of the lucrative positions offered for competent help in the studio”. So there- the starving artist thing is a 20th century phenomenon. Softcover. 4.5”x6”, 8 pages, 1 black & white illustration of the school building. Minor soil. [43403] SOLD 3. [Art at Wanamaker] 1901 Guide to Paintings at the Wanamaker Store, New York City. The great Wanamaker’s Department Store started in 1876 in an abandoned Pennsylvania Railroad station and was one of the earliest of the grand department stores in America. Over the decades Wanamaker’s was the source of many innovations in the retail field, and in 1881 John Wanamaker opened an Art Gallery in the Philadelphia store, a innovation which was later extended to the New York location. Wanamaker purchased French paintings at Paris salons for sale in the store’s gallery as well as for the store’s, and his own, permanent collections. 131 paintings are described here, including some recently purchased at several 1901 salons. Softcover. 4.25”x6.5”, 36 pages. Covers with light soil, some wear, chip and crease on the rear panel. [43404] $40 4. [Balloons] Early 1900s Sheet of C.C. Phelps Gas and Hot Air Balloons Stationary. A sheet of pictorial stationary for C.C. Phelps, daring aeronaut and manufacturer of balloons for likewise daring do-ers- “C.C. Phelps Manufacturer of Gas and Hot Air Balloons and Apparatus - Aerial Exhibitions Furnished for All Occasions by the Best and Most Daring Artists in the World. McConnellsville, N.Y.”. The sheet includes 2 illustrations of balloonists doing things that most sensible folks would not do. Single sheet. 8.5”x11”. Minor soil. [43421] $35 5. [Blinds] 1880s American Patent Blind Fastener Business Card. An attractive business card for P.K. O’Lally, “Patentee and manufacturer of the Automatic Patent American Blind Fastener and also the ‘Republic’ Blind Operator”. Mr. O’Lally lived in Boston, and was seeking agents for his life-altering invention. Card. 3.75”x2.25”. Minor soil. [43381] $28 6. [Books] A Catalogue of a Valuable Collection of Books, in Various Departments of Literature, Ancient and Modern, On Sale at Extremely Low Prices for Ready Money - John Miller, Trafalgar square - 1853. “Literature” meant, as it so often did at the time, anything between covers, and was mostly nonfiction. An interesting peek at the mid-19th century antiquarian and used book trade, in condition basically the same as if you were sitting down to read it in 1853. Softcover. 4”x6.5”, 32 pages. Sun shadow on the rear cover, light soil, otherwise fine and clean and spiffy. [43402] $35 7. [Bulbs] 1882 Ornamental Flowering Bulbs Label for Parker & Gannett. A handsome Aesthetic Movement label for flowering bulbs sold by Parker and Gannett, dated 1882, featuring a lily flower. Handsome. Parker & Gannett Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store, was listed in the 1870s directories for Boston & Cambridge, Massachusetts. Label. 4.75”x7.25”. Minor soil. [43379] $60 8. [Celluloid] 1890s Celluloid Manufacturing Company Card Printed on Celluloid. Developed in the mid-19th century, celluloid came into its own as a manufacturing material in the 1870s, providing a useful substitute for ivory and horn. The Celluloid Manufacturing Company was founded by John Wesley Hyatt, one inventor of the product, who spent a certain amount of time embroiled in legal disputes with other inventors of the product. Baldwin & Gleason made a specialty of printing celluloid trade cards and other celluloid novelties, but a card for the Celluloid Company itself on celluloid is kinda neat. 4.75”x3”. A bit ‘rumpled’, minor wear, light soil. [43359] SOLD 9. [Ceramics] 1893 Villeroy & Boch World’s Columbian Exposition Card. A handsome oversized card for Villeroy & Boch, famous makers of fine pottery and porcelain, and beloved of stein collectors everywhere. 6.75”x4.5”. Minor soil, light wear. [43361] $175 10.

The card was printed in Bruges by Daveluy, the Royal lithographer. 5.5”x4”. Minor soil. Lightly mounted in thin blue paper. [43364] $275 11.

  • David Zwirner New York, NY 10011 Telephone 212 727 2070
    519 West 19th Street Fax 212 727 2072 David Zwirner New York, NY 10011 Telephone 212 727 2070 For immediate release JAMES WELLING Seascape July 10 – August 4, 2017 David Zwirner is pleased to present Seascape (2017), a new film by James Welling at its 519 West 19th Street location. This will be the United States premiere of the work and the artist’s seventh solo presentation at the gallery. In Seascape, Welling combines his family’s past with the histories of cinema, photography, and painting. The film is an homage to the artist’s grandfather, William C. Welling, who studied with the American Impressionist painter Wilson Irvine and corresponded with the seascape painter Frederick Waugh (1861-1940). Using the recently introduced Cine-Kodak Model B 16mm camera, Welling’s grandfather shot the black-and-white reversal footage in the early 1930’s in Ogunquit, Maine, at the suggestion of Waugh. Over the course of two days, he filmed the Atlantic Ocean at Perkins Cove––which was a celebrated site for seascape painters––capturing images of the rocky coast, Seascape, 2017 (video still) which he subsequently used as a basis for a 22 x 27 inch Colorized 16 mm film transferred to digital video, oil painting. For Seascape, Welling took digital color 5:18 min, stereo sound samples of his grandfather’s painting and, working with three animators, colorized the original footage using After Effects and Photoshop. The audio component is a contribution from the artist’s brother, William B. Welling, a musician. The sound, which encompasses a slow, continuous progression of three chords with Foley effects, uses a 1940 “Gloria” accordion, as well as two drums––a 1826 Eli Brown replica snare drum made in 1990 with 32 beach pebbles placed on the drum head and a Remo “Ocean Drum.” As a collaborative work between the artist, his grandfather, and his brother, the film, like Welling’s photographic series “Diary/Landscape” (1977-1986) and “Wyeth” (2010- 2015), extends the artist’s interest in incorporating autobiographical elements into his work.
