The Patricia and Donald Oresman Collection the Patricia and Donald Oresman Collection THE PATRICIA AND DONALD ORESMAN COLLECTION Tuesday, November 20, 2018 NEW YORK THE PATRICIA & DONALD ORESMAN COLLECTION AUCTION Tuesday, November 20, 2018 at 10am EXHIBITION Friday, November 16, 10am – 5pm Saturday, November 17, 10am – 5pm Sunday, November 18, Noon – 5pm LOCATION Doyle 175 East 87th Street New York City 212-427-2730 www.Doyle.com THE PATRICIA & DONALD ORESMAN COLLECTION Doyle is honored to auction the Collection of quintessential New Yorkers Patricia and Donald Oresman. Comprising over 500 lots, this remarkable collection showcases the works of prominent artists, popular illustrators and renowned photographers. The paintings, sculptures, works on paper, editions and photographs span several decades, movements and mediums. Each work shares a common theme: Reading. Throughout the collection, figures can be spotted in the act of reading, writing, printing and studying, many fully engrossed in literature. Not coincidentally, the works are a reflection of the Oresmans themselves — a long-married couple who could often be found sitting among their books, fully engrossed in literature. Naturally their love of reading informed their acquisitions. CONTENTS Their constantly growing art collection complemented a massive private library, Paintings 1-366 designed by noted New York architects Fairfax & Sammons to showcase both Prints 367-500 books and art. The collection clearly mirrors the Oresmans’ lifelong passion Photographs 501-567 for literature. Their extensive library was in constant use. The hundreds of books lining the Glossary I shelves were not decorative design elements. Each book was meant to be read, Conditions of Sale II and Mr. Oresman endeavored to complete every one. At over 1,200 square feet, Terms of Guarantee IV the Renaissance-inspired space with high coffered ceilings featured ornately Information on Sales & Use Tax V carved bookshelves and a graceful winding staircase inspired by one found in Buying at Doyle VI New Mexico’s Loretto Chapel. Photographed in 2013 for New York magazine, Selling at Doyle VIII the library sported clever sliding panels and secret compartments for the ever-expanding Auction Schedule IX art collection. The Oresmans’ Central Park South duplex afforded a commanding Company Directory X view of the park while also providing a magically serene setting for immersing Absentee Bid Form XII oneself in a fine novel. The couple collected many pieces created during the Great Depression, from images depicting upper class businesspeople poring over great literature and theologians immersed in religious texts to struggling down-on-their-luck folks studying the want ads. This focus led them to amass an important group of works by WPA artists including Aaron Bohrod, Jacob Lawrence, Louis Lozowick, Louise Nevelson, Ben Shahn and many others. The New Deal’s Federal Art Project — the public arts arm of the WPA — was a massive undertaking. It employed artists and craftspeople to teach young artists, create murals and commercial illustration, and design stage sets. From 1935 to 1943 the WPA was responsible for creating over 200,000 unique works of art. Mrs. Oresman was a social worker, book lover and a passionate student of Emily Dickinson’s poetry. Mr. Oresman, an attorney and businessman, served on the board of The New Criterion, The Landmarks Conservancy, The Morgan Library, The Library of America, The Academy of American Poets, and others. His energy seemingly knew no bounds. A tireless activist for preservation, his role in the Conservancy, in particular, helped create the New York City Historic Properties Fund. On the event of the 2004 exhibition of works from their collection at Poets House in New York, Mr. Oresman commented, “I think there is an intensity to reading that captures artists’ imaginations because it has a very private element to it.” Lot 102 3 4 6 9 10 12 Paintings 1 3 5 6 7 8 10 12 Helen Adams Benny Andrews Harold Anchel Richard Artschwager Carl Ashby Ethel V.

    Oral history interview with Katherine Schmidt, 1969 December 8-15 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 Katherine Schmidt on December 8 & 16, 1969. The interview took place in New York City, and was conducted by Paul Cummings for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview DECEMBER 8, 1969 [session l] PAUL CUMMINGS: Okay. It's December 8, 1969. Paul Cummings talking to Katherine Schubert. KATHERINE SCHMIDT: Schmidt. That is my professional name. I've been married twice and I've never used the name of my husband in my professional work. I've always been Katherine Schmidt. PAUL CUMMINGS: Well, could we start in 0hio and tell me something about your family and how they got there? KATHERINE SCHMIDT: Certainly. My people on both sides were German refugees of a sort. I would think you would call them from the troubles in Germany in 1848. My mother's family went to Lancaster, Ohio. My father's family went to Xenia, Ohio. When my father as a young man first started out in business and was traveling he was asked to go to see an old friend of his father's in Lancaster. And there he met my mother, and they were married. My mother then returned with him to Xenia where my sister and I were born.
