Pennsylvania as her home, Andrade broke ground as a female artist in her time. With influences ranging from the Bauhaus movement, Constructivism, Futurism, Dadaism to Post Impressionism, her influence and impact on the art world still resonates. The underlying theme throughout the sale is the universality of art and how it has impacted artists regardless of their geographic location. Whether the work was created in Cuba, Italy, Poland, the Southern United States or in Pennsylvania, similarities and comparisons can be drawn between the artists and the works they are creating. Art has become the great equalizer and unifier whether it be across regional borders, oceans or even across time. We are pleased to present this selection of works to you.

14 151741/2 LUCIO FONTANA (italian, 1899-1968) “CONCETTO SPAZIALE” Signed upper right, painted terracotta with holes. Executed 1960-1963. diameter: 19 1/2 in. (49.7cm) provenance: Martha Jackson Gallery, New York, New York. David Anderson Gallery, New York, New York. The Estate of Jerome and Elaine Kurtz, New York, New York (acquired directly from the above in 1981). note: This work is registered in the Archivio Lucio Fontana, Milan under no. 3983/1 and is accompanied by a photo-certificate of authenticity issued by the Fondazione Lucio Fontana. $60,000-100,000
Although perhaps best known for his punctured and slashed canvases of the 1950’s, Lucio Fontana also worked extensively with organic materials like terracotta and clay from his earliest days as an artist. Indeed, his father was a sculptor, and the younger Fontana apprenticed in his father’s studio as a child, later opening a studio of his own. His earliest exhibitions of the 1930’s, in fact, were mostly of three dimensional, sculpted works. After attending art school in Milan, Fontana spent time in Argentina where he founded the Altamira Academy and developed the first foundations of “Spazialismo”, or “Spatialist” movement, which was formally founded upon his return to Milan in 1947. In his various writings defining this new movement, Fontana and others called for an art that embraced science and technology. During this period Fontana worked with neon paint and light, and black light creating spatial environments that can be seen now as some of the earliest examples of installation art. Ever interested in evolving, Fontana soon honed in on concepts of space and matter, and began to pierce and puncture the canvas surface so as to create actual dimensions of space: “Now in space there is no longer any measurement…Now you see infinity....in the Milky Way, now there are billions and billions ....The sense of measurement and of time no longer exists. Before it could be like that...but today it is certain, because man speaks of billions of years, of thousands and thousands of billions
of years to reach, and so, here is the void, man is reduced to nothing...When man realises ....that he is nothing, nothing, that he is pure spirit he will no longer have materialistic ambitions... man will become like God, he will become spirit. This is the end of the world and the liberation of matter, of man ...man will become a simple being like a flower, a plant will only live through his intelligence, through the beauty of nature he will purify himself with blood, because he constantly lives with blood...And my art too is all based on this purity on this philosophy of nothing, which is not a destructive nothing, but a creative nothing.... And the slash, and the holes, the first holes, were not the destruction of the painting...it was a dimension beyond the painting, the freedom to conceive art through any means, through any form.” (L. Fontana, quoted in Lucio Fontana, exh. cat. Palazzo delle Espsizioni, Rome, 1998, p. 246). Almost immediately, the artist brought this interest in a third dimension to his ceramic work. The present work, one from the simply titled, ‘Concetto Spaziale’ series, is heavy and substantial asserting its earthly physicality and weight. At the same time, it is also ethereal and delicate with a monochromatic, soft charcoal paint and delicately incised lines and signature. There is no sense of gravity in this work, no top and no bottom. And yet, three central punctures add depth and dimension with their dark voids.

The work of Ian Davis explores the relationship of man and the world around him. Davis experiments with scale and setting force the viewer to question the nature of reality itself. In the present lot, he has painted a series of men dressed in identical garb congregated around a group of trees growing inside of a vacuous interior space. A larger congregation of figures can be glimpsed through the windows in the background. The scene itself elicits a number of questions. Is the gathering of onlookers, dressed in somber formal attire, depicting a funeral of sorts -
the slow death of the arboreal giants that have been kept in captivity only to have reached the end of their lifecycle? Their detached and life-less branches lying in the innocuous interior space is the focal point of the gathering. Alternatively, is the group awaiting the first bloom to sprout from the bare appendages; to celebrate their vernal rebirth? Davis’ efficacy of creating paintings that force the viewer to both appreciate their aesthetic beauty and question the subject matter is what keeps us engaged and wanting more.

Terms & Conditions All property offered and sold (“property”) through Samuel T. Freeman & Co, (“Freeman’s”) shall be offered and sold on the terms and conditions set forth below which constitutes the complete statement of the terms and conditions on which all property is offered for sale. By bidding at the auction, whether present in person or by agent, by written bid, telephone, internet or other means, the buyer agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions.
1 Unless otherwise indicated, all Property will be offered by Freeman’s as agent for the Consignor. 2 Freeman’s reserves the right to vary the terms of sale and any such variance shall become part of these Conditions of Sale. 3 Buyer acknowledges that it had the right to make a full inspection of all Property prior to sale to determine the condition, size, repair or restoration of any Property. Therefore, all property is sold “ASIS”. Freeman’s is acting solely as an auction broker, and unless otherwise stated, does not own the Property offered for sale and has made no independent investigation of the Property. Freeman’s makes no warranty of title, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, or any other warranty or representation regarding the description, genuineness, attribution, provenance or condition to the Property of any kind or nature with respect to the Property. 4 Freeman’s in its sole and exclusive discretion, reserves the right to withdraw any property, at any time, before the fall of the hammer. 5 Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the printed catalogue. Freeman’s reserves the right to determine any and all matters regarding the order, precedence or appropriate increment of bids or the constitution of lots. 6 The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid, to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion and in the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re- offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after sale, the Freeman’s sale record shall be conclusive in all respects. 7 If the auctioneer determines that any opening or later bid or any advance bid is not commensurate with the value of the Property offered, he may reject the same and withdraw the Property from sale.
8 Upon the fall of the hammer, title to any offered lot or article will immediately pass to the highest bidder as determined in the exclusive discretion of the auctioneer, subject to compliance by the buyer with these Conditions of Sale. Buyer thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility of the property sold, agrees to sign any requested confirmation of purchase, and agrees to pay the full price, plus Buyer’s Premium, therefore or such part, upon such terms as Freeman’s may require. 9 No lot may be removed from Freeman’s premises until the buyer has paid in full the purchase price therefor including Buyer’s Premium or has satisfied such terms that Freeman’s, in its sole discretion, shall require. Subject to the foregoing, all Property shall be paid for and removed by the buyer at his/her expense within ten (10) days of sale and, if not so removed, may be sold by Freeman’s, or sent by Freeman’s to a public warehouse, at the sole risk and charge of the buyer(s), and Freeman’s may prohibit the buyer from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or buyer in any future sale or sales. In addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s by law, Freeman’s reserves the right to impose a late charge of 1.5% per month of the total purchase price on any balance remaining ten (10) days after the day of sale. If Property is not removed by the buyer within ten (10) days, a handling charge of 1% of the total purchase price per month from the tenth day after the sale until removal by the buyer shall be payable to Freeman’s by the buyer; Freeman’s shall charge 1.5% of the total purchase price per month for any property not so removed within 60 days after the sale. Freeman’s will not be responsible for any loss, damage, theft, or otherwise responsible for any goods left in Freeman’s possession after ten (10) days. If the foregoing conditions or any applicable provisions of law are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to Freeman’s and the Consignor (including without limitation the right to hold the buyer(s) liable for the bid price) Freeman’s, at its option, may either cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the buyer(s), or resell the property. In such event, the buyer(s) shall remain liable for any deficiency
in the original purchase price and will also be responsible for all costs, including warehousing, the expense of the ultimate sale, and Freeman’s commission at its regular rates together with all related and incidental charges, including legal fees. Payment is a precondition to removal. Payment shall be by cash, certified check or similar bank draft, or any other method approved by Freeman’s. Checks will not be deemed to constitute payment until cleared. Any exceptions must be made upon Freeman’s written approval of credit prior to sale. In addition, a defaulting buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Freeman’s, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money of, or owing to such buyer in Freeman’s possession, and Freeman’s may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to Freeman’s. Freeman’s shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code. 10 Unless the sale is advertised and announced as “without reserve”, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Freeman’s may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the Consignors. In certain instances, the Consignor may pay less than the standard commission rate where Freeman’s or its representative is a successful bidder on behalf of the Consignor. Where the Consignor is indebted to Freeman’s, Freeman’s may have an interest in the offered lots and the proceeds therefrom, other than the broker’s Commissions, and all sales are subject to any such interest. 11 No “buy” bids shall be accepted at any time for any purpose. 12 Any pre-sale bids must be submitted in writing to Freeman’s prior to commencement of the offer of the first lot of any sale. Freeman’s copy of any such bid shall conclusively be deemed to be the sole evidence of same, and while Freeman’s accepts these bids for the convenience of bidders not present at the auction, Freeman’s shall not be responsible for the failure to execute, or, to execute properly, any pre-sale bid.
13 A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price. The Buyer’s Premium shall be: 25% on the first $200,000 of the hammer price of each lot, 20% on the portion from $200,001 through $3,000,000, and 12% thereafter. 14 Unless exempted by law from the payment thereof, the buyer will be required to pay any and all federal excise tax and any state and/or local sales taxes, including where deliveries are to be made outside the state where a sale is conducted, which may be subject to a corresponding or compensating tax in another state. 15 Freeman’s may, as a service to buyer, arrange to have purchased property posted and shipped at the buyer’s expense. Freeman’s is not responsible for any acts or omissions in packing or shipping of purchased lots whether or not such carrier is recommended by Freeman’s. Packing and handling of purchased lots is at the responsibility of the buyer and is at the entire risk of the buyer. 16 In no event shall any liability of Freeman’s to the buyer exceed the purchase price actually paid. 17 No claimed modification or amendment of this Agreement on the part of any party shall be deemed extant, enforceable or provable unless it is in writing that has been signed by the parties to this Agreement. No course of dealing and no delay or omission on the part of Freeman’s in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right and waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy of Freeman’s on any future occasion. 18 These Conditions of Sale and the buyer’s, the Consignor’s and Freeman’s rights under these Conditions of Sale shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Consignor and Buyer agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. v2.2016
