Paul Jenkins — ten works for the Abbey of Silvacane «AS ABOVE SO BELOW» July 15 — September 15, 2005 Ten canvases painted by Paul Jenkins in New York especially for this exhibition will be on view at the Cistercian Abbey of Silvacane, one of the "three sisters" of Provence, along with the Abbeys of Thoronet and Sénanque. The artist has entitled this exhibition "As Above So Below," to evoke the great mystery of the heavens on earth. This major abstract expressionist painter, known in France for his lyrical abstraction, is present in museum collections throughout the world. Through his mastery of gesture and color, his work continues to evidence that art is to be viewed in a universal context. For the Silvacane Abbey, he brings forward an exploration anchored in blue, color of the heavens and of mystery. Born July 12, 1923 in Kansas City, Missouri. After studying in New York at the Art Students League where he came to know Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, among others, he arrived in Paris in 1953. He has shared his time since then between New York and Paris, and since 1984, St-Paul-de-Vence. He currently lives and works in New York and in France. "Phenomena Encroach Trance," the 11th painting of the series "As Above So Below," will be shown at the Atelier Cézanne in Aix-en-Provence, throughout the exhibition period. Paul Jenkins will be present on September 3, 2005 at 4:30 p.m. at the Atelier Cézanne. Exhibition curator: Victoria Ville-Paris.

Paintings by Streeter Blair (January 12–February 7)
1960 Paintings by Streeter Blair (January 12–February 7) A publisher and an antique dealer for most of his life, Streeter Blair (1888–1966) began painting at the age of 61 in 1949. Blair became quite successful in a short amount of time with numerous exhibitions across the United States and Europe, including several one-man shows as early as 1951. He sought to recapture “those social and business customs which ended when motor cars became common in 1912, changing the life of America’s activities” in his artwork. He believed future generations should have a chance to visually examine a period in the United States before drastic technological change. This exhibition displayed twenty-one of his paintings and was well received by the public. Three of his paintings, the Eisenhower Farm loaned by Mr. & Mrs. George Walker, Bread Basket loaned by Mr. Peter Walker, and Highland Farm loaned by Miss Helen Moore, were sold during the exhibition. [Newsletter, memo, various letters] The Private World of Pablo Picasso (January 15–February 7) A notable exhibition of paintings, drawings, and graphics by Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), accompanied by photographs of Picasso by Life photographer David Douglas Duncan (1916– 2018). Over thirty pieces were exhibited dating from 1900 to 1956 representing Picasso’s Lautrec, Cubist, Classic, and Guernica periods. These pieces supplemented the 181 Duncan photographs, shown through the arrangement of the American Federation of Art. The selected photographs were from the book of the same title by Duncan and were the first ever taken of Picasso in his home and studio.

May 9, 2017 The Honorable Meenakshi Srinivasan, Chair New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission One Center Street, 9th Floor North New York, NY 10007 Re: 827-832 Broadway/47 East 12th Street Dear Chair Srinivasan, The Municipal Art Society of New York (MAS) writes in strong support of the proposal put forward by the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation to calendar 827-831 Broadway and 47 East 12th Street. Designed by Griffith Thomas, architect of several notable buildings in the Noho, Soho Cast-Iron, and Ladies Mile Historic Districts, who was famous for popularizing European styles and the use of cast iron for building facades. These buildings were commissioned and owned by the Lorillard family, New York City landowners since the Revolutionary War, and founders of the pioneering Lorillard Tobacco Company. Shortly after construction in 1866, Wilson Sewing Machine was headquartered at 827-829 Broadway during a time of significant growth and international recognition in the company’s history. In addition, cabinetmaker Alexander Roux held shop here for ten years, employing over 120 craftsmen. Six of his pieces are currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the latter half of the 20th Century, 831 Broadway was the home and studio of four prominent Abstract Expressionist artists of the New York School: Willem and Elaine de Kooning, Larry Poons, and Paul Jenkins. It was here that Elaine de Kooning painted her portrait of President John F. Kennedy, which is displayed in the National Portrait Gallery. Additionally, one of New York’s most renowned antique dealers, Howard Kaplan’s Antiques, was located here for over thirty years and was visited by influential New Yorkers including Jackie Onassis, John Lennon, Roone Aldridge, and Woody Allen.

The dissertation draws attention to Power’s unusual method of collecting which was characterised by his buying of work in quantity, considering it in depth and at leisure in his own home, and only then deciding on what to keep or discard. Because of the auto-didactic nature of his education in contemporary art, Power acquired work from a wide cross section of artists and sculptors in order to interrogate the paintings in his own mind. He paid particular attention to the works of Nicolas de Stael, Jean Dubuffet, Asger Jorn, Sam Francis, Barnett Newman, Ellsworth Kelly, Francis Picabia, William Turnbull and Howard Hodgkin.

März 2018 Galerie Iris Wazzau Promenade 72 CH–7270 Davos Platz Telefon 0041 81 413 31 06 [email protected] www.wazzau.com Sam Francis und Paul Jenkins Sam Francis und Paul Jenkins Sam Francis und Paul Jenkins gehören seit Jahren zu meinem Galerie-Programm. Beide wurden bei mir und weltweit in Museen und Galerien in unzähligen «Themen- und Gruppen-Ausstellungen» gezeigt. Auch nach intensiven Recherchen habe ich keine Hinweise auf eine Ausstellung «Sam Francis und Paul Jenkins» gefunden. Das ist erstaunlich, weil die Lebenswege von Sam Francis und Paul Jenkins in vielerlei Hinsicht analog verliefen. Sam Francis und Paul Jenkins sind innerhalb weniger Tage in der amerikanischen Provinz geboren und aufgewachsen. Beide gingen jung nach New York. Dort war «Action Painting» und «Abstrakter Expressionismus» aktuell. Dennoch haben sie sich bereits mit der europäischen Malerei und den damals angesagten euro- päischen Künstlern, die im New York der damaligen Zeit von keiner Wichtigkeit waren, auseinandergesetzt. Sam Francis wie auch Paul Jenkins hatten beide in den 1950iger Jahren eigene Ateliers und erste Ausstellungen in Pariser-Galerien. In Paris wurden sie mit Künstlern des «Tachismus», der europäischen Version des «Abstrakten Expressionismus», bekannt. Mit vielen weiteren, mittlerweile weltberühmten Künst- lern, pflegten sie Freundschaften. Gemeinsamkeiten gibt es auch in den Galerie-Beziehungen und Museums-Aus- stellungen. Beispielsweise die legendäre Martha Jackson Gallery, New York die Sam Francis und Paul Jenkins bereits ab 1956 immer wieder in New York prominent ausgestellt hat.
