66 121499/2 CLEMENT MEADMORE (australian 1929-2005) “CROSS CURRENT” Conceived in 1977, signed and dated 1980 at base, cast bronze with brown patina, from the edition of 6 99 x 51 x 15 in. provenance: GlaxoSmithKline Corporate Collection, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. note: Australian artist Clement Meadmore was professionally trained as an aeronautical engineer, and in his personal life was an active lover of jazz.

Both of these elements are evident in Cross-Currents. Executed in 1980, the work’s title evokes at once the fluidity of quickly moving currents of water or air and the recalibration that occurs where they meet. A professed admirer of both Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism, Meadmore’s work typically incorporated stark rectangular forms that reach up and out, but also twist and flow. His works are held in collections at major museums in Australia, as well as at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Detroit Institute of Arts, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Portland Art Museum, the Butler Institute of American Art and many others in the United States as well as in Japan. This work has resided in the executive wing of GlaxoSmithKline’s corporate headquarters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the last twenty years. literature: Gibson, Eric.

11/04/12 99 121722/5 RICHARD POUSETTE-DART (american 1916-1992) UNTITLED from “strata” series Signed and dated 77 verso, oil on canvas 50 x 72 in. (127 x 183cm) Unframed provenance: The artist.

Obelisk Gallery, Boston, Massachusetts.

Private Collection, Wellesley, Massachusetts. note: Recognized as a leading member of the New York School group of Abstract Expressionist painters, Richard Pousette-Dart was largely self-taught. As the son of an artist, (his father eschewed formal art education) Richard spent many years of his childhood watching his father paint. Richard attended art school for a brief period of time but decided against any further formal training. Soon after departing for New York, he exhibited alongside Mark Tobey and later with giants such as Jackson Pollock, Barnett

Newman, and Mark Rothko at the legendary Betty Parsons Gallery.

Influenced by the writings of Jung, Freud, the Transcendentalists and Eastern religious texts, his early compositions include the totemic references seen in Pollock’s work but also evolved toward geometric forms and abstraction, referencing these powerful concepts.

While iconography and content evolved, the heavily-textured surface of Pousette-Dart’s paintings is consistent from the 1960’s onward. As with the grand-scale present work from the Strata series, large fields of thickly-impastoed, scintillating points of color fill every inch of canvas so that they shimmer and oscillate with color.

The contrasts of line versus rounded form; symmetry versus random gesture and contrasting colors all underline the artist’s interest in the tensions between stability versus motion, natural versus formality, and order versus chaos.

During the decade in which this work was executed, Pousette-Dart delivered many influential talks on

the nature of painting, and was recognized with both a prestigious Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship and Ford Foundation grant. In 1951, Pousette-Dart left New York City permanently, spending the rest of his life in Rockland County, New York, where he could be certain that his work was fresh, and free from the influence of Manhattan’s busy art scene.

His place in the story of twentiethcentury abstraction is wellsecured—major retrospectives of his art were held in New York at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy, and in 1997-98 at Metropolitan Museum of Art. As recently as 2010, several of Pousette-Dart’s paintings were included in the exhibition, “Abstract Expressionist New York” at the Museum of Modern Art. $200,000-300,000

The following four lots by Philip Guston belonged to H.W. Janson, the respected art historian and author of the hugely successful and widely distributed book “The History of Art,” first published in 1962. Janson taught at several institutions during his long career, including New York University, The University of Iowa and Washington University in St. Louis. Through these teaching opportunities, Janson had the opportunity to meet and befriend several artists such as Fletcher Martin, Julio de Diego, Edward Milman, Werner Drewes and Philip Guston.

This ink and wash drawing depicting fighting children wearing newspaper hats and bearing wooden swords has strong compositional and thematic similarities to “Gladiators,” an oil on canvas from 1940 from the Edward R. Broida Collection in the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The same themes appear in a WPA mural he painted in Long Island City, Queens called “Work and Play.” The ink drawing of Forio, Italy (lot 102) was also a planning sketch for a mural by the artist.

note: In 1977, Alex Katz was asked to create a triple-tiered, 247-foot work in billboard format above Times Square, New York. The piece, to be located on a rooftop at 42nd Street and 7th Avenue, consisted of twenty-three portraits of women each measuring twenty-feet high, and the entire billboard extended along two sides of the RKO General building on a sixty-foot tower.

An independent spirit in the midst of the Abstract Expressionist era, Katz was already focused on representational art. As critic Carter Ratcliff wrote in a 2005 monograph, "Appropriating the monumental scale, stark composition and dramatic light of the Abstract Expressionists, he would beat the heroic generation at their own game.” "It was an open door," Katz stated in 2009 for Smithsonian magazine, "No one was doing representational painting on a large scale."

Taking his inspiration from film and commercial billboards, Katz’s highly stylized pictures anticipated Pop Art. His flat, bright figures had an “everyday quality” that linked them to commercial art and popular culture, but were executed with wet-into-wet brushwork which clearly showed the artist’s hand, and was a nod to Expressionist influence. Interested in the element of surprise and discovery, Katz has painted the reverse in grays to illustrate the backs of the figures’ heads. In this sense, the work is unlike a billboard and invites more of an active, moving interaction with the viewer.

Very few original aluminum cutouts have been offered for sale at auction in recent years, and it is unusual to see one depicting so many figures in one piece. This work is special in its direct connection to one of the largest-scale commissions ever undertaken by the artist, and for its complex composition.
