ARTWORK ON VIEW

JAMES ROSENQUIST - Vanity Unfair for Gordon Matta Clark - oil on canvas - 62 3/4 x 43 x 2 3/4 in.

JAMES ROSENQUIST

Andrew Wyeth is considered among the preeminent representational painters of the 20th century. Born in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, Wyeth drew his subject matter from the world around him: the interiors and exteriors of the stone buildings, mills, and farms of the Brandywine River countryside, and in the summers, the clapboard houses and stark landscape of the Maine coast.
<br>
<br>In this full-sheet watercolor, “Star Route” (1977), Wyeth depicted a house on the road to East Friendship, Maine, not far from his own summer residence. While relying on keen visual observation, he pared down the elements of a composition to their most essential, giving his works an abstracted quality and imbuing them with a sense of quietude and stillness.

Carlos Cruz-Diez was one of the most important contemporary and Latin American artist. His work explores the experiential transience of color. He was often associated with the Op Art, Kinetic Art, and Concretism movement exploding out of Latin America from the mid-20th century.
<br>
<br>This work is one from one of Cruz-Diez's signature series "Physichromie" translated as "physical color", which explores the changing, physical dimension of color through the interaction of light and space.
<br>
<br>As Mari Carmen Ramírez, Wortham Curator of Latin American Art at The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, said, “He made us see and experience color as pure and sensuous pleasure; a participatory, interactive experience open to everyone, regardless of age, class, culture or social standing.”

N.C. WYETH - With a Quick, Noiseless Stride, He Crossed the Narrow Space - oil on canvas - 30 1/4 x 20 1/8 in.

Gottlieb was a first-generation member of the Abstract Expressionists. “Blue on Black” is from his trademark “Burst” series. Like fellow Ab Ex artists including Pollock who settled into their signature style late in their careers, it was not until 1956 that Gottlieb focused on these burst paintings.
<br>
<br>This painting showcases the lyricism that he found within the “Burst” paintings by simplifying color and form. In this painting, the shapes and color coalesce to produce harmony and depth within the visual landscape of the canvas.
<br>
<br>Gottlieb had an amazing 56 solo exhibitions during his long career and his works are included in over 140 museums throughout the world.

TOM WESSELMANN - Partial Monica with Hat and Beads - enamel on laser-cut steel - 33 x 34 in.

Alexander Calder was a prolific American artist who infused his artwork with a wit and whimsy and brought movement to objects, thereby creating kinetic sculptures and dynamic drawings. Famed for his mobiles which appear to be drawings in space, Calder is renowned for his paintings which capture the dynamism in lines that appear to dance and pirouette like his sculptures.
<br>
<br>This work combines the witty lines Calder was known for with his strong sense of color featuring his often-used primary colors, black, and white as well as the Orange noted in the title. Pyramids were a common motif for Calder and reappears in several of his paintings as well as in his set design for the performance “Work in Progress” at the Teatro dell’Opera in Rome.

ALEXANDER CALDER

Franz Kline was a central figure in American Art until his death in 1962. Close friends with Jackson Pollock and the “Cedar Tavern” group, Kline would help make New York City the epicenter of post-war avant-garde art in the 1940s and 1950s. Broad, gestural abstractions dominate the artist’s work. Those abstractions range from small, eloquent studies (such as the present work) and grow in scale to some of his monumentally scaled oil on canvas works, such as “Monitor” (1956) at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Kline tapped into the unconscious; his work portrays the free-flowing and impromptu moment. “Untitled” (1951) was in the artist’s collection until 1960, just two years before his death. Smaller-scale works of comparable quality can be found in museum collections worldwide. The Museum of Modern Art in New York has a similar drawing on newsprint: “Untitled” (1951).
