s a child, Stanley Bard felt no love for the Hotel Chelsea. In fact, he was jealous of the building on West 23rd Street that kept his father away from home for such long hours. Granted, there was some pleasure to be had in exploring the Chelsea’s labyrinthian corridors, peering through half-open doorways at elderly gentlemen half-buried beneath towering stacks of newspapers, or gaggles of adults hunched around a coffee table, arguing politics. But it wasn’t until after he returned from college that Stanley looked at the Chelsea not as a rival for his father’s affection but as an entity in its own right—a strangely anthropomorphic being with its own personality and quintessentially New York past. Stanley’s father, David Bard, had bought the genteel if shabby hotel in partnership with a group of fellow Hungarian émigrés in the wake of the Depression. The hotel’s greatest asset, in the purchasers’ eyes, was its central location. They barely noticed the preponderance of artists, actors, and other creative types among its tenants. At least not at first. David Bard’s correspondence, which one can find in the archives of such famous residents as Virgil Thomson and John Sloan, reveals Bard as unfailingly polite, yet equally professional. A writer (Paul Bowles) is advanced cigarette money on credit “with our compliments.” A painter (John Sloan) is removed from the top-floor studio he can no longer afford but offered a cheaper room because “you are one of the Chelsea’s favorite guests.” Bard may not have known whom he was dealing with at first, but he knew how to listen. Over time, the nineteenthcentury putti ringing the ceiling of his ground-floor office darkened beneath layers of cigar smoke as Virgil Thomson, Edgar lee Masters, Arthur Miller and so many others dropped in to inquire about, say, a lack of hot water and remained to talk long into the evening about life, literature, and art. Thomson told him that this hotel had been designed for artists, like no other in New York. Masters regaled him with stories of Isadora Duncan dancing in its apartments and Mark Twain telling tales in its dining room. Miller knew about the playwrights and producers making the deals in its lobby that led to the creation of Broadway. little wonder that young Stanley was jealous. little wonder that the 22-year-old resented his father’s insistence that he ditch his dreams of a white-collar career to apprentice himself at the Chelsea for a salary of sixty dollars a week. Gradually, though, it dawned on Stanley that some of the faces he encountered at the Chelsea belonged to people whose work he’d studied in college. Wasn’t that Edmund Wilson? Brendan Behan? Mary McCarthy? Gore Vidal?

The writers had caught his father’s interest and imagination, but Stanley was drawn more to the visual arts. As luck would have it, in 1964—just as David Bard died and Stanley, only 29, took over—the Chelsea was facing an onslaught of new artists “staggering out of the muck” of ‘50s abstract expressionism and promoting any work that “does something other than sit on its ass in a museum.” Claes and Patty Oldenburg moved in while preparing his “Bedroom Ensemble” for a show at the Sidney Janis Gallery. As exhibitions of nouveau-realiste works began to take hold in New York, they were joined by a phalanx of Europeans including Yves Klein, Martial raysse, Arman, Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely, Daniel Spoerri, and Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Stanley Bard kept busy, running what reporters were now calling the “Ellis Island of the avant-garde,” delivering drop cloths to artists, looking after their children, and mediating their disputes. But hard as he worked, he had never been so happy in his life. After all, these guests were his age. They invited him to their parties, he attended their exhibitions. It was a symbiotic relationship in which both parties found satisfaction. When Daniel Spoerri stayed up past two in the morning, nailing his breakfast dishes to a tabletop in pursuit of his art, Stanley commented supportively, “Good luck to him.” When Christo incorporated the doorknob from his Chelsea Hotel bathroom door into a “Store Front” installation for the May 1964 leo Castelli show, Stanley beamed with pride. On the tenth floor, Niki de Saint-Phalle felt free to fill the hall with giant papier-mache figures she called “Nanas.” On the ninth, Arman and Allan Kaprow staged a raucous Happening called “The Artists’ Key Club,” whose subscribers were given 50-50 odds of going home with a work by a name artist but overwhelming odds of having fun. Stanley wasn’t only having fun, though. He was learning about art, and about how artists see the world. He often recalled the day Christo invited him up to his room to behold a woman standing on a pedestal, wrapped in clear plastic. “You look at her, you see a beautiful woman,” Christo said to Stanley in his imperfect English. “But when I wrap something it becomes a work of art.” Art was being stripped to its essence, Stanley’s new friends explained. If John Sloan had proved that art didn’t have to be conventionally beautiful, and Pollock had demonstrated that it needn’t have a pictorial subject, Christo, Warhol, Oldenburg and Arman had reached the logical conclusion that art didn’t have to be anything and, conversely, that anything could be art.

What could prepare you better for the second half of the 1960s than the Chelsea, where William Burroughs and Brion Gysin moved in to work on their psychedelic Dream Machine and where Andy Warhol filmed “Chelsea Girls”? As new artists including Bernard Childs, Sidney Nolan, and Carl-Henning Pedersen joined the never-ending party, Stanley struck a deal with Fillmore East owner Bill Graham to house his rock bands, adding a new type of creative energy to the hotel’s atmosphere. Janis Joplin. Jim Morrison. Patti Smith. The faster the spin, the more transcendent became the shared creative state that William Burroughs had dubbed the “Third Mind.”

Then came the crash. Drugs. Stagflation. Poets died, actors retreated to rehab, the Fillmore East shut down. Yet, if anything, hard times brought many of the Chelsea’s artists even closer to Stanley, who saw only good in the hotel. The Chelsea was “unique in providing all the conditions artists need to do their work,” he told reporters on the telephone. As manager, to help them feel comfortable, he sometimes had to “allow things to go on that you couldn’t do in the Hilton Hotel…the nouveau riche, they would not be happy here.”

His guests’ appreciation for this sympathetic spirit is evidenced by the inscriptions on the backs of so many of the works included here: “For my dear friend Stanley Bard who made my stay at the Chelsea so wonderful,” from Don Olsen. “Avec le meilleurs voeux pour une tres heureuse année” from Théo Tobiasse. “Dedicated to Hotel Chelsea from Chieko Kawasaki.” “For Stanley, cordially, Corneille, NY, 8 Dec. ’80.” “For Stanley with Affection – Tom Wesselmann.”

And, finally, Stanley Bard would die. What remains of this dream? The building itself remains shrouded, in a state of transition, but these works of art testify to a moment in history when a rich mix of inspired New Yorkers were given the opportunity to live a creative life. “What luck for us, and is it not lovely, that we have such friends as artists,” wrote John Sloan’s good friend, the critic Van Wyck Brooks. “The mere thought of it warms all the way through.”

Is this not the definition of a life well-lived? To have made a better life for those one encounters, to have added to the quality of the cultural air we breathe? Bad times would come. Alliances within the hotel’s ownership would fracture, and Stanley would be ousted. The hotel would be sold.

HENrI lE SIDANEr lot 1 While searching for a country home in 1901, Henri le Sidaner consulted with his friend and fellow artist Auguste Delaherche, who suggested the ancient city of Gerberoy in the Picardy region of France as a place to look. In 1904, le Sidaner purchased a home near the 15th century collegial church of Saint-Pierre and later acquired several other plots where he cultivated beautiful gardens. He not only planted gardens at his own home, but also around the town, including on the

ruins of an old castle and fort where le Sidaner constructed a three-leveled structure called the Temple of love, a replica of which can be found at the Palace of Versailles. Thanks to le Sidaner, this medieval town experienced a renaissance and has become a popular tourist attraction for those visiting France. It is now known as “the town of roses,” and its cobblestone streets are still home to le Sidaner’s house and gardens, which can be visited and toured by the public.

JOHN FrENCH SlOAN lots 4-9

Pennsylvania-born artist John French Sloan was well-educated and introduced to American art from an early age. During the early 1890s, Sloan began taking drawing classes and was hired as a newspaper artist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, also studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under Thomas Anshutz. Soon thereafter, he met artist robert Henri, who encouraged Sloan to move from drawing towards painting. He then became acquainted with fellow artists Everett Shinn, George luks, and William Glackens, who would go on to refer to themselves as “The Eight” (with other members including Maurice Prendergast and Arthur B. Davies) and who would later become known as the first generation of the Ashcan School. At the very beginning of the 20th century, Sloan’s reputation as an accomplished illustrator was developing. He moved from Philadelphia to New York and, along with other members of The Eight, concretized the group’s preferred style of Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images

painting, distinguishing themselves as an avant-garde force railing against the American Impressionists National Academy of Design, as well as the abstracted and modernist aesthetic of Gallery 291 and Alfred Steiglitz’s circle. Instead, The Eight sought to realistically represent authentic scenes of urban daily life in America. While the members of the group varied in their unique styles and techniques, they gravitated towards a darker color palette and gestural brushstrokes. The group exhibited together throughout the early 1900s, and Sloan himself had solo shows as well. like Henri, Sloan tended towards depictions of workingclass members of society that lived around him, while trying to keep any specific political agenda out of his work. Sloan’s urban scenes, for which he is best known, remain as important documentation of American art and its history. Sloan taught at the Art Students league in New York and even acted as president of the league in 1931, but resigned in 1932. However, in 1935 be began to teach there again for several years. During that time, he was a well-respected instructor, teaching artists that would later become world-renowned including reginald Marsh, David Smith, Alexander Calder and Barnett Newman. Sloan and his wife Dolly moved into the Chelsea Hotel on October 8, 1935, after they were evicted from their New York university apartment near Washington Square Park. The couple moved into a top-floor duplex apartmentstudio that had, in a twist of fate, been home to artist Arthur B. Davies in the 1920s. It was during his tenure at the hotel that, in 1939, Sloan wrote “Gist of Art,” the treatise that outlined the impetuses and ideologies behind his art. 24

literature: Rowland Elzea, John Sloan’s Oil Paintings: A Catalogue Raisonné part one, Newark: University of Delaware Press, 1991, no. 164 (illustrated). note: John Sloan first moved into the Chelsea Hotel in 1935. The present lot, therefore, was painted before he moved into the Chelsea, but while he was living quite nearby. Sloan met Yeats in 1910, and had known Henri through school for some time. In his January 18th, 1910 diary entry, Sloan wrote of the evening he painted his two friends, Henri and Yeats, “Laubs, Henris, Mr. Yeats, and Nellie (Mrs. Laub’s sister) at dinner and after dinner fortune telling by cards, Mrs. L., and drawing by Yeats, Henri...[while] I painted a small sketch of Henri and Yeats.” It was Sloan’s experience with these two men, as well as with other members of their social circle whom they called the “Petitpas Group,” that Sloan’s taste for living and socializing with artists and other creative people was cultivated and nurtured during the last decades of his life. $8,000-12,000

5 JOHN FRENCH SLOAN (american, 1871-1951) “PROSPECTOR IN APACHE CANYON” Signed, titled, dated 1947-8 and inscribed ‘JS#1108’ verso, casein tempera with oil-varnish glaze on board. 20 x 24 in.

note: Sloan’s diary describes the sketching trip that was the origin of this painting: “we left in our car with J[oe] Bakos driving at about 9:30 AM and after a short stop in town went by the main highway south and east to Canyoncito and into Joe’s Apache canyon. It is very beautiful and has great possibilities as beneath the canyon is plenty of water. Joe and I walked about a mile northerly, leaving the car... Joe and I started painting... beautiful dark scrub oak grottos.” (September 21, 1948). $12,000-18,000

(23.8 x 35.1cm) provenance: Stanley Bard. note: John Sloan worked on nudes towards the end of his career, from approximately 1935 to 1941, the first 6 years he was living at the Chelsea. In an interview with Joseph Abbot for WNYC on April 5, 1936, Sloan said, “Recently, I have devoted most of my work to the painting of the human figure which will require a full lifetime to reach mastery in it.” Although Sloan’s nudes never became his most popular subject, or that for which he is best known, they did occupy much of his work in his later years. On January 17, 1941, W. G. Constable, Curator of Paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (who had purchased Sloan’s painting “Pigeons on a Roof” in 1935), wrote to Walter Pach in New York, saying “I do not want to lose the chance of a good nude [by John Sloan], especially as it seems to me that he has attained at this moment a remarkable mastery over what he wants to do.” The present lot represents an exemplary nude of this time period. $1,000-1,500

C O B r A ArTISTS lots 14-24 The artistic group known as CoBrA was founded in 1948 in Paris while its first members were sitting in a café during a major international conference. Their name is an acronym that refers to the cities Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam, and their symbol fittingly became that of a curled snake, or cobra. The founding members who drew up and signed their manifesto included Asger Jorn, Joseph Noiret, Christian Dotrement, Constant, Corneille, and Karel Appel. These artists, approximately 30 of them, wanted it known within the greater artistic and sociopolitical community that they were not in agreement with other Western artists working at the time, and they outlined these ideas in their statement entitled “la Cause est Entendu” (The Case is Settled). CoBrA artists sought to move towards more spontaneity of technique and more fantastic subject matter, merging figuration and abstraction, with an aim to rejuvenate Dutch modern art. They were deeply impacted by the ravages of World War II, and they looked towards blunter styles of modernism with anticipations of a Marxist future. They favored improvisation and collaborative efforts over the traditional authorship and individualism associated with their contemporaries. Stylistically, their work was, in many ways, the European counterpart to the American gesturalism or “action painting” associated with Abstract Expressionism.

The group emphasized working without predetermined plans, and railed against academic modes of developing and creating works of art. They used bright, bold colors and experimented with a wide array of new materials. Inspired by the child-like quality of Paul Klee’s and Joan Miro’s work, the group embraced creativity and freedom of expression. They also looked to primitive art and folk art for its simplified lines and shapes. They demanded an ‘art of immediacy’, accessing the subconscious to promote and encourage free expression. This notion was somewhat influenced by the ‘automatism’ of Surrealism, which required the creator to allow their subconscious or unconscious mind control the works they made. In 1949, the group changed its name from CoBrA to Internationale des Artistes Expérimentaux, hoping to branch out from their ties to a specific location and increase membership from artists worldwide. Although several artists from other countries did join into the movement’s style, the group eventually disbanded in 1951. Nevertheless, the movement and its contributions to the realm of modern art are still felt and admired within the art historical canon. 14 KARL APPEL (dutch, 1921-2006) “PERSONNAGE” Signed bottom left, signed again, titled, dated 1969 and located ‘New York’ verso, oil on canvas. 38 1/2 x 27 1/2 in.

ArMAN, CHrISTO AND MArTIAl rAYSSE lots 29, 30 & 32 “These three artists (along with Yves Klein, Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely, and Daniel Spoerri) were part of the European influx of Nouveau Réaliste artists who created a real flowering, a golden age, in the artistic life at the Chelsea in the early- to mid-1960s. Initially, they gravitated toward the Chelsea on the recommendation of larry rivers, who had befriended many of them in Paris. As their work appeared at shows in New York, the Chelsea was where they naturally stayed.

This period coincided with Stanley Bard’s own awakening as an appreciator of art. He enjoyed getting to know these artists, and learning about and discussing their work with them. As a consequence, he cultivated real and lasting friendships with many of them. Arman’s Palette Knives in Lucite (lot 29), Christo’s The Mastaba of Abu Dhabi (lot 30), and Martial raysse’s collage with the inscription, “To Stanley Bard, Avec l’amitie de Martial raysse” (lot 32) bring this great moment in art history vividly to mind. These works truly comprise the heart of this collection. The spirit of joyful experimentation that they express powered the Chelsea, through Stanley, for decades to come.”

(61 x 45.7cm) provenance: Stanley Bard. note: Martial Raysse was one of the original members of the 1960s Nouveau Réalisme movement, along with Yves Klein, Raymond Hains and Arman, who were dissatisfied with the dominant trend of abstraction. Instead, they desired to create art that more accurately captured modern life and criticized the post war culture of consumption. The group emphasized the use of ready-made consumer objects in their art, and therefore expelled Raysse from the group when he took up painting on canvas in 1961. Raysse’s new approach, which he called the “hygiene of vision,” still incorporated real-life objects, as well as photo-silkscreens and bright neon-colored paint. He also employed images of fashion models taken from ads and magazines, making archetypal goddesses of the commercial realm the focus of his art. Yet his work from this period can be characterized by its darker tone- his subjects portrayed as wartime refugees, victims of the age of materialism, contrary to the concurrent Pop movement which alternatively celebrated this culture. $5,000-8,000 Illustrated opposite page

MANY OF MY BEST SuBJECTS HAVE rESulTED FrOM lOOKING BACK ON PAST JOurNEYS. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;SIr SIDNEY NOlAN

the stanley bard collection

SIr SIDNEY NOlAN lots 33-44 An important and influential Australian modernist artist, Sir Sidney Nolan is best-known for his richly colored paintings of the mythology and history of Australian bush life and folklore. Although he studied at the National Gallery of Victoria’s School of Art in the mid-1930s, he was also self-taught, pouring over books about modern European artists such as Paul Cézanne, Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and the Surrealists. He became affiliated with a group of artists known as the Angry Penguins, including Arthur Boyd, Albert Tucker and Joy Hester, who sought to modernize Australian literature, poetry and art through processes and ideas used by the European Surrealists. He was also heavily impacted by the poetry of rimbaud and rilke, and his affinity for literature is evident in his paintings. Nolan’s first solo show occurred in Melbourne in 1940. During that time, he also designed costumes and sets for the Ballets russes, and became a founding member of the Contemporary Art Society. It was also in the 1940s that Nolan painted his famous series inspired by the life of Australian outlaw and bushranger Ned Kelly and the Kelly Gang. Nolan chose to depict Kelly’s armor, and helmet in particular, in a dark square form, which has become an iconic symbol within his oeuvre. Sidney Nolan 1964 by Axel Poignant (1906-1986), gelatin silver photograph, Collection: National Portrait Gallery, Canberra, Purchased 2003

In 1942 he was drafted to the army, and began working on a series of paintings of the landscape. He later deserted the military in 1944, and continued travelling around north western Victoria and other territories painting the country’s interior. During the early to mid-1950s, Nolan moved to England and traveled throughout Europe. In 1958 he relocated to the united States, where he met American poet robert lowell, for whom he illustrated a number of books. While his wanderlust was strong and kept him traveling to different continents including Africa and Asia, his Australian roots called to him often, and he continued to return to his native country each year. Nolan’s painting style had many influences and inspirations, and often blurred lines between expressionism, representation and abstraction, and the real and surreal. His work has been exhibited in Australia, including retrospectives in 1967, 1987, and 1992, as well as in london in 1957 and Dublin in 1973. In 1974 Nolan donated 24 of his works to the Australian public, held as the Nolan Gallery’s Foundation Collection at the Canberra Museum and Gallery. Major exhibitions for his works have been held in Europe and the united States. He was knighted in 1981 and awarded the Order of Merit in 1983, amongst other accolades. Along with fellow Australian artist Brett Whitely, Nolan frequented the Chelsea Hotel.

note: The two present lots are very closely related to Nolan’s important series of paintings Riverbend I and II. They are more specifically aligned with the second of the two series, which he painted in 1965-66 and which is comprised of nine paintings. When arranged sequentially, these nine individual works of art measure 11 meters in length. This expansive series features the lush and majestic river landscape of the Goulburn Valley, inspired by Nolan’s memories of the terrain where he spent a portion of his early childhood. Interspersed amongst the crowded trees and wild bush of the Riverbend II paintings are the figures of legendary bushranger Ned Kelly, and the police who are pursuing him. This is one of Nolan’s most iconic themes, which dominated his imagination throughout the course of his career.

44 SIR SIDNEY NOLAN (australian, 1917-1992) UNTITLED (GALLIPOLI) Signed with an initial bottom left, signed and dated ‘29 Dec 58’ verso, polyvinyl acetate and mixed media on canvas. 48 x 60 in. (121.9 x 152.4cm) provenance: Stanley Bard. $20,000-30,000

note: On April 25, 1915, thousands of soldiers stormed the shores of the Gallipoli Peninsula as part of a campaign by the Allied Forces to capture the Turkish city of Constantinople (now Istanbul), the capital of the Ottoman Empire. For eight long and difficult months, Allied troops from Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand fought and died as part of the Gallipoli Campaign. Out of this crucible was forged a new sense of Australian national identity. To this day, April 25 is observed as a day of remembrance known as ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day, in which Australians honor their countrymen and women who fought on behalf of their nation and specifically those whose lives were lost at Gallipoli. It is little wonder that Sidney Nolan was drawn to Gallipoli as subject. In many ways, Nolan was a myth maker, favoring stories of national resonance. He first began his exploration of Gallipoli in the 1950s, while spending several months on the Greek island of Hydra with Australian authors George Johnston and Charmian Clift. While there, the artist became immersed in classical studies and, at Johnston’s urging, met Alan Morehead, a journalist who had written on the similarities between the battle for ancient Troy and the conflicts at Gallipoli. Nolan, who was studying Homer’s The Iliad at the time, was particularly struck by the comparison. He embarked upon a body of work that explored the connections between the legendary ancient war and the painfully real fight of the recent past. The resulting Gallipoli paintings, like the present example, are profound examples of the artist’s unique ability to convey specific historic events in a timeless visual language. As Johnston recalled, “in images separated by the width of the world and 3000 years of time, [Nolan] sensed a parallel, indeed a mutual poetry concerned with human struggle.”

BArrY FlANAGAN lots 45 & 46 Welsh sculptor Barry Flanagan created revolutionary and avant-garde works, while most often using the traditional medium of bronze. Best known for his sculptures of hares, he stated in 2006 to the director of london’s Serpentine Gallery, “I enjoy the third dimension and appreciate material in time and space. I find it exciting to the eyes.” His oeuvre is certainly exciting to behold. From the experimental and precocious soft sculptures of his early career in the mid-1960s, to his vibrant and frequently massive sculptures of hares and other animals, which he began executing in the 1980s, Flanagan imbues the quotidian with the whimsical and the fantastic. The subject of the hare allowed the artist not only to capitalize on its anatomical structure—both flexible and elongated—but also on the personified characteristics of the animal from folklore and stories. His fond memory of watching a hare running and leaping on Sussex Downs was his first inspiration to use the creature as a repeated motif. However, there is deeper meaning behind it, as many cultures see the hare as a symbol of life, immortality, and a representation of human existence and our relationship to the animal kingdom. Many times his bronze hares, and other animals such as horses, achieve the appearance of an abstract, fluid line, hovering between abstraction and figuration. He was greatly influenced by the 1979 exhibition “The Horses of San Marco” at the royal Academy of Arts in london, where the ancient horses on display impacted his approach to sculpture and helped shape his interest in the methods of representing the animal and exploring man’s particular affinity and connection with it. Born in 1941 in North Wales, Flanagan studied sculpture and architecture at Birmingham College in the late 1950s, subsequently attending St. Martin’s School of Art in london from 1964 to 1966. His first solo show was held in london at the rowan Gallery in 1966, and he continued thereafter to exhibit in both group and solo exhibitions in Britain and abroad. He was chosen to represent Britain in the 1982 Venice Biennale, and a major retrospective of his works was held in Madrid, Spain, which also toured to Nantes, France in 1993-1994. Subsequent major exhibitions have been held in Germany and France in 2002, and Dublin, Ireland in 2006. The artist simultaneously maintained several apartments and studios around the world in cities such as Paris, london, Amsterdam, and New York, at the Chelsea Hotel.

PHIlIP TAAFFE lot 58 Born in New Jersey in 1955, Philip Taaffe received his Bachelor of Fine Art from the Cooper union in New York in 1977 and had his first solo exhibition in New York City in 1982. Taaffe’s work is characterized by elements of Op Art and collage, with inspiration drawn from artists such as Bridget riley. He has traveled extensively throughout his career to the Middle East, India, and South America. He also lived and worked in Naples, Italy during the late 1980s and into the early 1990s. The experiences of his travels, including cultural, social and artistic encounters, have deeply impacted the style and content of his oeuvre. In a 2009 interview with fellow artist and friend Diego Cortez, Taaffe mentioned some of the considerations and concerns present within his paintings, including but not limited to, “the history of the decorative, patterns of cultural migration, Islamic art and design, Byzantine architecture, the annals of natural history, as well as contemporary painting.” The combination of these elements and influences create a unique and arresting body of work.

Taaffe’s artwork has been featured in many national and international exhibitions at venues such as the Carnegie International, two Sydney Biennials and three Whitney Biennials. It is also part of several public and museum collections, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain. The IVAM Museum in Valencia exhibited a retrospective of Taaffe’s work in 2000, and another retrospective for the artist was held in 2008 at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg. Taaffe has lived in the Chelsea Hotel since 1991, and is a continuous resident there.

I BElIEVE THAT ANY ArT COMMuNICATES WHAT YOu’rE IN THE MOOD TO rECEIVE —lArrY rIVErS

lArrY rIVErS lots 59 & 60 Born in New York in 1923 and originally named Yitzroch loiza Grossberg, larry rivers started out as a jazz saxophonist in the 1940s. During this time he changed his name while playing in clubs and bars as “larry rivers and the Mudcats.” After enlisting in the military and being honorably discharged for medical reasons in 1942, he went on to study at Juilliard School of Music, meeting and befriending fellow musicians Charlie Parker and Miles Davis in 1944. Influenced and inspired by Cubism, and in particular a work by Georges Braque, rivers began to paint in the late 1940s. He enrolled and studied in Hans Hoffmann’s School of Fine Arts, had his first solo show in 1949 at The Jane Street Gallery in New York, and subsequently garnered his Bachelors of Arts from New York university in 1951. While it may be difficult to categorize rivers and his works under one genre, he is best known as an important American painter and Pop artist, in addition to being a sculptor, poet, Jazz musician, filmmaker, set designer, and teacher. His work is distinct and unique, with a strong

focus on himself as subject and object, and displays a stylistic connection between both Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, while not completely embodying one or the other. In 1953 he completed his seminal work Washington Crossing the Delaware, (now owned by The Museum of Modern Art, New York) which he later described as a key factor in the creation and progression of his professional and artistic persona. rivers was a frequent presence at the Chelsea Hotel. A major figure in the creative and cultural community of New York City, rivers had many close friends at the hotel and collaborated on his autobiography with longtime Chelsea resident Arnold Weinstein. Indeed, his connection to the hotel was a family affair, as his son was a resident there for a time. rivers enjoyed the spirit and energy of the Chelsea, which was embodied by its many residents, both permanent and transient. Of course, no one personified the soul of the hotel more than Stanley Bard, whom rivers counted as a close friend, stopping into the Chelsea nearly every day to visit with its maestro.

TOM WESSElMANN lots 63 & 64 Tom Wesselmann’s visual lexicon is one of the most iconic and instantly recognizable of any artist working in the twentieth century. A leading figure in the American Pop Art movement, he rose to prominence in the 1960s, working in a style that uniquely blended contemporary images and pop culture with classical representation. The artist explored iconic subjects like the female nude, the landscape and the still life in new and innovative ways. The resulting paintings were boldly-colored, often erotically-charged, and always assertive. Perhaps the best known of these are his paintings from the Great American Nude series of the early 1960s, in which the female nude is portrayed in intense, bright (often patriotic) colors and exaggerated flattened forms. The images created in these, and other similar works, have come to be synonymous with Wesselmann’s name and style. Face #1 is an impressively sized oil on shaped canvas, executed in 1966, a rich and seminal period of the artist’s career. During this time, the artist focused his interest on the nude even more specifically, moving away from a complete representation of the figure and concentrating on specific, highly sexualized elements of the female form, such as the mouth and breast. Wesselmann’s decision to use shaped canvases to portray these forms gave these paintings a sculptural quality, which — in turn — imbued them with a particularly active energy that served to heighten their bold sensuality. Face #1 is an excellent example of the artist’s work of this period. The woman’s face is only partially shown, the artist choosing to emphasize her mouth, with her bright red lips erotically parted and painted with fetishistic focus against a highly sexualized cut-out relief. The painting calls to mind

leonard Cohen’s famous 1974 song, “Chelsea Hotel No. 2”, in which Cohen reminisces about a sexual encounter he shared with Janis Joplin at the hotel years earlier. In October 2016, the Almine rech Gallery held an important exhibition of Wesselman’s work, inspired by the artist’s seminal show at the Sidney Janis Gallery in 1970. The 2016 exhibition debuted the restaging of Wesselmann’s key performance piece Bedroom Tit Box in Paris for the first time, and included many works from the same series as Face #1. like so many artists of the time, Wesselmann was drawn to the creative haven of the Chelsea Hotel, and found friendship with Stanley Bard. His fondness for Stanley is clear from the dedication on Face #1, which is inscribed on the stretcher bar verso, “For Stanley with affection — Tom Wesselmann.” 63 TOM WESSELMANN (american, 1931-2004) “FACE #1” Signed and dated 66 on the bottom exterior edge of the canvas, signed again, titled, dated, dedicated ‘For Stanley with Affection - Tom Wesselmann,’ and inscribed ‘Collection Stanley Bard’ on stretcher bar verso, oil on shaped canvas. 72 1/4 x 66 in.

note: Grace Palithorpe was a British Surrealist painter who worked alongside fellow artist Reuben Mednikoff, who was — at once — her creative partner, lover and surrogate child figure. Indeed, Mednikoff referred to the dominant Palithorpe as his ‘Mother Flower’ and ultimately took her last name as his own. Together, the two shared a profound interest in psychoanalysis and saw their art as a means of exploring their subconscious, looking to one another’s work as both creative outlet and scientific experiment. So strong was her interest in this element of painting that, in 1939, Palithorpe published an essay on ‘The Scientific Aspects of Surrealism’ in the London Bulletin, the main source for Surrealist ideas in Britain at the time. Though not particularly well-known today, Palithorpe was an important figure in British Surrealism. When she and Mednikoff exhibited their works at the International Surrealist Exhibition in London in 1936, André Breton concluded that theirs were ‘the best and most truly Surrealist of the works’ on view. $500-800

as horses and dogs, and images of alluring young women. His work has been featured in many gallery and museum exhibitions and can be found in numerous collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Detroit Institute of the Arts. Andoe wrote and published a memoir of his life and experiences entitled “Jubilee City: A Memoir at Full Speed” in 2008. He lived and worked in the Chelsea Hotel for some time, and a painting similar to lot 88 hung in the hotel’s lobby for several years.

Born in Tusla, Oklahoma, Joe Andoe has lived in New York for over twenty years, but still thinks fondly of his hometown and uses it as inspiration for his paintings. He enjoyed drawing from early childhood, but did not initially study art, nor foresee a career in fine art for himself. rather, Andoe’s adolescence was filled with alcohol, drugs, parties, and reckless activities. After enrolling as an agricultural business major at a community college, he found that an elective course in art history, where he became familiar with works by other male artists such as robert Smithson and Dennis Oppenheim, inspired him to pursue more art classes. He eventually received his Masters of Fine Art from the university of Oklahoma in 1981, and shortly thereafter moved to New York. Andoe’s pieces display a fairly limited color palette, often completed in shades of blacks and grays, and he often works by applying paint and then wiping it away. The effect is hazy, ghostly, and often melancholy, and his subjects recall his youth. Nostalgic and dreamy, his paintings invoke vintage 1960s cars in nocturnal landscapes, animals such

IMPOrTANT INFOrMATION FOr BuYErS Registration All potential buyers must register for the sale prior to placing a bid. Registration information may be submitted in person at our reception desk, by fax or through our website at www.freemansauction.com. We will require proof of identification and residence and may require a credit card and/or a bank reference. By registering for the sale, the buyer acknowledges that he or she has read, understood and accepted Freeman’s Terms and Conditions of Sale. Buyer’s Premium 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. Sales Tax All items in the catalogue are subject to the 8% Pennsylvania and Philadelphia sales tax. Dealers purchasing for resale must register their tax numbers on current PA forms. Forms should be submitted to our Client Services office on the second floor. Catalogue Descriptions All item descriptions, dimensions and estimates are provided for guidance only. It is the buyer’s responsibility to inspect all lots prior to bidding to ensure that the condition is to their satisfaction. If potential buyers are unable to inspect lots in person, our specialists will be happy to prepare detailed Condition Reports on individual lots as quickly as possible. These are for guidance only, and all lots will be sold “as is” as per our Terms and Conditions of Sale. Bidding At the sale Registered bidders will be assigned a bidder number and given a paddle for use at the sale. Once the first bid has been placed, the auctioneer asks for higher bids in increments determined by the auctioneer. To place your bid, simply raise your paddle until the auctioneer acknowledges you. The auctioneer will not mistake a random gesture for a bid. By phone A limited number of telephone lines are available for bidding by phone through a Freeman’s representative. Phone lines must be reserved in advance. Requests must be submitted no later than 24 hours prior to the scheduled start of the sale. In writing Bid forms are available in the sale room and at the back of the catalogue. These should be submitted in person, by mail or by fax no later than one hour prior to the scheduled start of the sale. The auctioneer will bid on your behalf up to the limit. On the internet A fully-illustrated catalogue is available on-line at www.freemansauction.com. Registered bidders may leave absentee bids through the website and will receive email confirmation of their bid. Freeman’s is not responsible for errors or failure to execute bids. Payment Payment is due within ten (10) working days of the sale. Lots purchased will not be released until we have received full payment. Payment may be made in cash, by check, money order, or debit card. Payments by check must clear the bank before goods will be released. Removal of Purchases Deliveries will not be made during the time of the sale unless otherwise indicated by the auctioneer. All items must be paid for and removed within ten (10) working days of the sale. Purchases not so removed may be turned over to a licensed warehouse at the expense and risk of the purchaser. Shipping and Packing Responsibility for packing, shipping and insurance shall be exclusively that of the purchaser. Upon request, Freeman’s will provide the purchaser with names of professional packers and shippers known to us. Endangered Species Lots marked * are manufactured in whole or in part of restricted materials that may include tortoiseshell, ivory, mother-of-pearl, coral, rhinoceros horn, whalebone or marine ivory. Such materials may require specific licenses, certificates, or CITES documentation for import, export, moving between states in the U.S., or resale. Obtaining these documents may require scientific, laboratory or other expert analysis, in order to establish which species or genus the material came from. Freeman’s is unable to provide this information, and the obligation is on the purchaser of a lot containing any of these materials to ensure that they are able to obtain all the necessary or required documents should they need to, prior to bidding on the lot. If proper documentation or licenses etc. cannot be obtained for a purchased lot, the purchaser will still be required to make an on time payment for the lot as per our standard terms and conditions. Freeman’s cataloguing of the lots marked with this symbol * represents the best of our opinion, and the absence of this symbol from any lot description does not form a warranty that the lot will be free from any licensing or certification restrictions.

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.
