HISTORY In 2015, Edelman Arts curated of the public arts collection for the One World Trade Center in New York. The collection includes a monumental works by José Parla, Argue and Fritz Bultman, Greg Goldberg, and Bryan Hunt. The collection is on view in the North, South and Sixty Fourth Floor lobbies where the installations are viewed by 30,000 visitors a day. Asher Edelman began collecting in the early 1960’s and by the mid 1980’s, he had accumulated one of the preeminent and visionary contemporary art collections of its time. A close friend of Léo Castelli and Ileana Sonnabend, he set trends and many of the artists he collected early on would become the biggest icons in the art world, such as Jasper Johns, Brice Marden, Cy Twombly, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, John Chamberlain, Lucio Fontana, and Keith Haring, to mention a few. In 1991, he opened FAE, Musée d’Art Contemporain in Lausanne, which presented the first European retrospectives of seminal contemporary American artists, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Mapplethorpe and Peter Halley. “Picasso Contemporain,” an exhibition of the artist’s post war work is still considered an unparalleled exploration of Picasso as a transmitter, interpreter and prophet of the ideas and techniques of Post War art. The trailblazing group exhibition, “Post Human,” co-curated by Chantal Prod’Hom and Jeffrey Deitch at FAE, helped define a new figurative movement and vision in art with artists such as Paul McCarthy, Matthew Barney, Mike Kelley, Cindy Sherman, Jeff Koons and many more. Viewings are by appointment.

Fritz Bultman is a first generation Abstract Expressionist artist who used meticulously organized abstract compositions, sculpture, and adopted collage as a core practice early on. A familiar name in his native New Orleans, he sought creative refuge in Europe, became a leader in the arts community of Provincetown at its height and, with Motherwell, Hans Hofmann, Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, Richard Lindner and Giorgio Cavallon was a bright star in the constellation of artists living in a tight neighborhood on the Upper East Side. He could be a fearless paint-slinger or a conscience-addled second-guesser who scraped back days of progress in bursts of doubt, as diligently productive in the studio as a metronome unless paralyzed by psychoanalysis and a loathing of dealers and their deadlines. Deep down, he was committed to an aesthetic of “fullness” and the ideally positive “equivalence” (his terms) between art and nature but like so many of the Abstract Expressionists he boasted a wide and violent destructive streak. As the critic Belle Krasne wrote in an Art Digest review in 1950, Bultman’s annus mirabilis, his paintings had a “blood on the moon fierceness that strikes at the heart.”

Nabil Nahas is Lebanon’s most renowned artist, having established himself before the current heightened interest in contemporary art of the Middle East, first in New York art circles as a master of color, texture and atmosphere. Although thoroughly schooled in Western abstract painting, Nahas takes his inspiration from a diverse range of influences, most significantly nature, and occasionally Islamic art, in particular its abstract geometric and chromatic qualities. The work for which he is best known are his thickly encrusted starfish and fractal paintings, built up by layer upon layer of acrylic paint mixed with pumice and finished in vivid colors. Nabil Nahas completed his MFA from Yale University in 1973. He has exhibited internationally and has work in a multitude of important collections including, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Vorhees Zimmerli Museum, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey, the Colby College Museum of Art, Maine, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, the Flint Institute of Art, Michigan, the Michigan Museum of Art UMMA, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the High Museum in Atlanta. In July 2013 he was awarded the honor of the National Order of the Cedar, for services to Lebanese culture.

James Nares’ paintings capture the very moment of their creation. They are most frequently made in a single brush stroke, recording a gestural passage of time and motion across the canvas. An integral part of his work is the uniquely crafted brushes which he creates that give an optimum desired effect. He repeatedly creates and erases his strokes, over and over again, until he feels he has made one that represents a precision of balance between intent and improvisation. Nares’ films and videos reference many of the same preoccupations with movement, rhythm, and repetition while also ranging further afield in their scope. His work is included in a number of public and private collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of Art, and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. In 2008, Anthology Film Archives hosted a complete retrospective of his films and videos. In Spring 2014, Rizzoli published the first monograph dedicated to James Nares’s work in all media over the last four decades.

Britt Boutros-Ghali, the Norwegian painter, best known for her vibrant abstract expressionist paintings, has spent 40 plus years living and working in Egypt.

As a magnetic personage, she is revered by local artists, writers, and intellectuals as she is by collectors who often travel to Egypt to see and purchase her work. Her work is widely collected throughout the Middle East and Europe.

Cathy McClure is a Seattle based artist who shares part of her time in Brooklyn, NY. McClure’s work is centered on the appropriation and re-interpretation of mechanical toys; she is interested in the discrepancy between the perception of an imagined techno-future and the future that we now inhabit. As an artist, she juxtaposes with irony in her sometimes elaborate installations. In 1995, McClure received her BFA from Texas Technological University, followed by her MFA from the University of Washington in 1997. She is the recipient of the 19th Annual Betty Bowen Memorial Award. She has exhibited at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the Milton Hershey School Museum, and Art Miami Basel, and she is currently represented by Edelman Arts and Moss in New York, New York.

Stolen Moments is Yasmine Chatila’s love poem to New York. To capture these moments, her artistic process was as follows; Chatila would find a well-situated New York City apartment with views of apartment interiors across the way, working exclusively at night she would then set up her telescopic and photographic equipment, position the camera through a stranger’s window and patiently wait. As it was “true” surveillance, the artist did not seek permission. However, through a labor intensive post-production process, the artist obscured these intimate portraits, taking documentary events into the realm of fiction and fantasy. Over an eight-month period, Chatila meditated on thousands of Stolen Moments, thus creating her latest body of work comprehensively presented at Edelman Arts, New York.

John Margolies documented the commercial architecture and design lining America’s “highways and byways,” exploring the changing landscape and open-road automobile culture that swept America in the middle of the 20th century. His imagery is both objective and nostalgic, with subjects including mini golf courses, drive-in movie theaters, and the sort of empty small-town main streets suggesting bygone times, as in “Photographs from Roadside America” (1980). Margolies has also lectured on the topic of architectural change, a theme poignantly illustrated in his work.
