MCASD 2018 Artauction Catal WELCOME Every two years, with great anticipation, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego stages its benefit Art Auction, an exhibition and fundraiser that infuses resources into the Museum’s acquisitions and programs. The dozens of works on view are created by the leading artists of our time. Whether at the peak of their careers or at the launch, nearby or international, these noteworthy artists have been selected and their works vetted by the Museum’s curatorial team. Indeed, the objects reflect the curatorial interests and perspective of MCASD. Numerous artists included in the benefit Art Auction have been featured in MCASD exhibitions and many have works in the collection. With tremendous generosity, these artists donate their creations. We are incredibly moved by their support and recognize their crucial role in the success of this fundraiser. Their donations not only benefit MCASD, but also foster the act of collecting. Over the decades, countless local collections have been enhanced through the benefit Art Auction. The opportunity to live with a unique work of art is a lure, yet the field is vast. This dynamic event narrows the scope and provides the context, highlighting works of the highest caliber that reflect the adventurous spirit of MCASD. Here, artists become patrons, museum-goers become art collectors, and MCASD becomes the hub that connects the art of our time with the people of our region. We encourage you to find your art in this dynamic exhibition and we thank you for your support. Kathryn Kanjo The David C.

In these absurdist parodies of patriarchal culture, the known for his own distinct lexicon of images culled from American culture, including smiley faces, balding, bloated characters appear vulnerable and exposed. Stylistically, Madani’s paintings reference bullet holes, pine-tree air fresheners—and indeed, celebrities. In recent years, Lowman has turned to a range of sources, from comic books and cinema to the macho modernism of Pablo Picasso and the more tranquil subjects drawn from nature, the environment, and memory.

In Head in the Oven (Gradation), a man is seen kneeling—a much of Lowman’s work, the grainy image calls attention to the process of mechanical reproduction, recurring image in the artist’s work—with his head thrust into a glowing oven. The figure’s head with its variations and flaws, but here the dappled surface of the water suggests an Impressionist is surrounded by light, imparting the suggestion of religious iconography to an otherwise morbid landscape: Warhol meets Monet. Lowman is currently the subject of a solo exhibition at the Aspen scenario.

    JACK RUTBERG FINE ARTS 357 N. La Brea Avenue ∙ Los Angeles, CA 90036 ∙ Tel (323) 938-5222 ∙ [email protected] Reuben Nakian was born in 1897 in College Point, New York, the fifth child of Armenian immigrants. From 1916 to 1919, he apprenticed to the noted sculptor Paul Manship in New York, along with Gaston Lachaise. Nakian and Lachaise established their own studio from 1920 to 1922. In 1922, with a stipend from Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, Nakian established his own studio. Nakian’s early works of the 1920s and 30s were mainly of exotic animals sculpted in a sensually smooth manner typical of the era. In the 1920s and 30s, Nakian received considerable recognition with numerous exhibitions in New York, including the Whitney Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Downtown Gallery and Wildenstein Gallery, as well as the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Corcoran in Washington D.C. In 1926 he met Brancusi and assisted him in installing his first one-man exhibition in the U.S. In the mid 1930s, Nakian met the painter Arshile Gorky (and through him Willem De Kooning), who encouraged him to seek greater expression through abstraction. Nakian - already inspired by Picasso, and some of the European avant gardes, as was Gorky - sought to further his own expressive possibilities and pursued a course of modeling the figure with unprecedented freedom, atypical in American sculpture. Indeed, Nakian’s unique style in sculpture anticipated artists such as Willem De Kooning’s work by more than two decades. Nakian’s immersion in Greek mythology captured his interest and served as the primary inspiration of his subject matter for the duration of his career, through the mid 1980s.

  • Faces of the League Portraits from the Permanent Collection
    THE ART STUDENTS LEAGUE PRESENTS Faces of the League Portraits from the Permanent Collection Peggy Bacon Laurent Charcoal on paper, 16 ¾” x 13 ¾” Margaret Frances "Peggy" Bacon (b. 1895-d. 1987), an American artist specializing in illustration, painting, and writing. Born in Ridgefield, Connecticut, she began drawing as a toddler (around eighteen months), and by the age of 10 she was writing and illustrating her own books. Bacon studied at the Art Students League from 1915-1920, where her artistic talents truly blossomed under the tutelage of her teacher John Sloan. Artists Reginald Marsh and Alexander Brook (whom she would go on to marry) were part of her artistic circle during her time at the League. Bacon was famous for her humorous caricatures and ironic etchings and drawings of celebrities of the 1920s and 1930s. She both wrote and illustrated many books, and provided artworks for many other people’s publications, in addition to regularly exhibiting her drawings, paintings, prints, and pastels. In addition to her work as a graphic designer, Bacon was a highly accomplished teacher for over thirty years. Her works appeared in numerous magazine publications including Vanity Fair, Mademoiselle, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Dial, the Yale Review, and the New Yorker. Her vast output of work included etchings, lithographs, and her favorite printmaking technique, drypoint. Bacon’s illustrations have been included in more than 64 children books, including The Lionhearted Kitten. Bacon’s prints are in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art, all in New York.

The interview took place in Stamford, CT, and was conducted by Avis Berman for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. [Transcriber’s note: RN’s transcribed words make him appear on the written page as gruff, irritable, and even unkindly. The timbre of his voice, however, is usually at odds with the words.] Interview [Tape 1, side A (all tapes are 45 minutes per side)] DON ROSS: DON ROSS (Nakian’s assistant) RUEBEN NAKIAN: I don’t care anymore what anyone thinks. It doesn’t matter, you know, what I do or what I say. I just try to keep busy. Even my art’s, you know. I do things just to keep busy. I don’t give a goddamn if. I don’t even care to go to the Metropolitan Museum, and that was like a sacred place for me, and that meant, you know, I don’t even care to go there. So, Jesus, I don’t know what’s happening to me. I’m bored and blasé, you know.
