Notes: One of the enigmas of Oceanic music is the putorino, an instrument once made by the Maori people of Aotearoa (New Zealand) that may have been played as a flute or as a trumpet. Carved from a block of matai wood (Podocarpus spicatus) to mimic a case moth’s (tungou ngou) cocoon, the putorino is formed by splitting the wood, hollowing the inside, and lashing it back together with vine. The putorino has a feminine voice representing the female ancestor Hineraukatauri, who personifies flute music.

In 1970, Jasper Johns created a series of seven prints with the publisher Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles, California that was effectively a revisitation of the artist’s 1964 painting, titled “According to What.”
This expansive painting, measuring seven feet tall by sixteen feet wide, was created at what is arguably the apex of Jasper Johns’s career. Created by joining several canvases together, “According to What” is more accurately described as a mixed-media assemblage than simply a painting. Although the work includes painted areas that are instantly recognizable as the work of Jasper Johns, the artist also stenciled the names of colors vertically on the canvas before affixing a variety of found objects and cast body parts onto its surface. Twelve years after it was created, the art historian Patricia Kaplan authored an essay on the painting where she described it as “one of the artist’s most challenging and disturbing works” created to date.
This particular print, titled “Bent Stencil,” revisits the very center of Johns’s painting “According to What.” In the 1964 assemblage, Johns has enclosed ten circles of color within black, white, and grey squares before stacking them vertically from the top to the bottom of the expansive, multi-piece canvas. “Bent Stencil” reproduces three of these circles found at the bottom of the canvas, which effectively divides the composition of “According to What” in half. A notable distinction between the prints and the painting is Johns’s use of a muted, rather than brightly colored palette in this lithographic reprisal, “Blue Stencil.”
Other impressions from Johns’s “Fragment - According to What” lithographic series can be found in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Provenance: The Estate of Oscar and Barbara Leidenfrost
Notes: Proceeds to benefit non-profit organizations and educational institutions.
Created in 1970, “Pagosa Springs” is one from a series of seven lithographs relating to the artist’s “Copper Series” of paintings created between 1960 and 1961.
Printed and published by Gemini G.E.L., each of these lithographs both revisit and reinterpret these iconic paintings from an early period of Stella’s career. Titled after mining towns found in the mountainous regions of Colorado, these prints are an homage to the region of the United States that was the nation’s primary source of copper and silver at the turn of the twentieth century.
From a technical perspective, each print from this series is relatively complex: these lithographs were created using several screens through which metallic paints and tinted varnishes were applied in order to create the final image. As such, each print from the “Copper Series” is much more than simply a reproduction of Stella’s iconic paintings. A full page in the Frank Stella catalogue raisonne of prints is dedicated to this particular print from the series, “Pagosa Springs.”
Other impressions of this print are held in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Buffalo AKG Art Gallery, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.

A large yellow shipping envelope from the Los Angeles County Museum, addressed to Barbara Leidenfrost, contains assorted materials from the museum, including black and white photographs of this lot, slides, and a letter stating that “enclosed are black-and-white photographs of the piece prior to treatment at the Wadsworth Atheneum and slides following treatment. The slides indicate the damage has been virtually removed,” signed by the registrar, Renee S. Montgomery, and dated June 27, 1990.
In 1978, Robert Longo created a series of works known as “Boys Slow Dance.” These three-dimensional sculptures were inspired by a scene from the 1953 noir film “Pickup on South Street.” “Swing,” one of the works from this series, is a cast aluminum wall relief in which two men dressed in suits are shown scuffling with one another.
One author, writing on this series of works, asked: are these images of two men “locked in... deadly combat? [or an] amorous embrace?” Longo’s sculpture is decidedly post-modern for its lack of fixed meaning, even when we know the referential source of this work.

Provenance: The Estate of Oscar and Barbara Leidenfrost
Notes: Yoruba peoples have one of the highest incidents of twin births in the world. As a result, twins are regarded as extraordinary beings protected by Sango, the deity of thunder. They are believed to be capable of bestowing immense wealth upon their families or misfortune to those who do not honor them. Powerful spirits in life, twins are honored with carved memorial figures when they die. These figures, known as “ere ibeji” (literally meaning ere: sacred image; ibi: born; eji: two), remain a point of access to the spirit of the departed individual. The mother provides ritual care to the figures, bathing, dressing, adorning, and feeding them. Such daily handling is responsible for giving their surface its distinctive patina.

Signed and dated lower right: Tarmo Pasto; titled on a piece of brown paper affixed to the frame, verso 36” H x 30” W
$800-1,200
Notes: Tarmo Pasto, a noted psychologist and art professor, was also a prolific painter who frequently exhibited his works. Though he is perhaps best known for bringing attention to the work of one of his patients, the so-called Outsider artist Martin Ramirez, Pasto was a key figure in a circle of artists working in and around the Sacramento area during the post-war period. This loose coalition of artists, which includes figures such as Mel Ramos, Wayne Thiebaud, and Jack Ogden, is known for exhibiting their work at institutions such as the Crocker Art Museum which holds examples of Pastoís work in its permanent collection.
In 1986, four years after a retrospective was held at the Crocker Art Museum, Tarmo Pasto died and left behind a large body of work that has largely remained unseen by subsequent generations of viewers. John Moran Auctioneers is pleased to offer this work for sale for the very first time.

This lot is accompanied by a printed information sheet from the website of Tanya Baxter Contemporary Gallery (London, Hong Kong, Longford, Heathrow). It was found in the Leidenfrost files and may or may not relate to the exact impression of this Hockney lithograph offered here.
The textile and fashion designer Celia Birtwell has been the subject of a number of works by David Hockney, the earliest dating to 1968. A close friend of the artist, Birtwell regularly traveled from the United Kingdom to Los Angeles to visit Hockney who had a tradition of creating a portrait of her upon each arrival.
Created at the Gemini G.E.L. workshop, which was located at 8365 Melrose Avenue in Hollywood in 1973, Hockney’s print is as much a portrait as it is a document of the exact moment he created it. Hanging on the wall behind Celia is a print of a mountain, “Snow” from Hockney’s “Weather” series,” also completed in 1973.
Other impressions of this print are held in the collections of the Fine Art Museums of San Francisco, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Walker Art Center in Milaukee, the Morgan Library, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

Adolph Gottlieb (1903-1974)
“Red Ground Maroon Disc,” 1966
Screenprint in colors on paper
Edition: 38/50
Signed, dated, and numbered in pencil in the lower margin: Adolph Gottlieb; titled, dated, and numbered again on a gallery label affixed to the frame’s backboard
Image: 20” H x 15” W; Sheet: 24” H x 18” W
$2,000-4,000
Provenance: Marlborough Graphics Gallery, New York, NY
Property from the Estate of Oscar and Barbara Leidenfrost
Notes: Proceeds to benefit non-profit organizations and educational institutions.
The Marlborough Graphics Gallery label affixed to the frame’s backboard includes a black ink notation that reads, Mr. Julian Ganz, Jr.
Beginning in 1957, Adolph Gottlieb began creating a series of work that later became known as his “Burst” series. Each of these works show two spheres: one of which is relatively uniform in shape, hovering above another that appears to have burst suddenly - and violently - apart.
The Abstract Expressionist movement emerged in New York City in the immediate aftermath of World War II. Gottlieb, like all of his contemporaries, shared a collective fear of nuclear annihilation in the years that followed the use of nuclear weapons against Japan in 1945.
While some art historians have described the two spheres found in Gottlieb’s “Burst” series as representing the sun, which remains uniform in shape as a nuclear weapon explodes beneath it, alternate interpretations for this imagery have also been put forth. One alternate interpretation of this imagery is closely tied to the ideas of the philosopher Carl Gustav Jung, which suggests that the hovering sphere represents the dominance of reason above the more mercurial element of the human mind: the unconscious. Both readings remain possible, as Gottelieb - along with the artist Mark Rothko - wrote in a 1943 letter published in the New York Times that they “favour[ed] the simple expression of the complex thought.”
Other impressions of this print are held in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Edward Ruscha
(b. 1937)
“Boiling Blood, Fly,” 1969 Lithograph in colors on wove paper
An artist’s proof aside from the edition of only 20 Signed, dated, and inscribed in pencil along the lower margin edge: E. Ruscha; Tamarind Lithograph Workshop, Inc., Los Angeles, CA, prntr./pub., and with their blindstamps; annotated Calendered Rives and with the workshop number 2548 in pencil, verso Image: 8” H x 9.875” W; Sheet: 11.875 x 13.625
$8,000-12,000
Provenance: The Estate of Oscar and Barbara Leidenfrost
Notes: Proceeds to benefit non-profit organizations and educational institutions.
In 1969, Ed Ruscha was invited to create a series of prints with the Los Angeles-based Tamarind Lithography Workshop. Established in 1960 by the artist June Wayne, the workshop was established with the intention of bringing greater attention to the possibilities of lithography as a printmaking medium with funding from the Ford Foundation.
“Boiling Blood,” a lithograph in colors on paper, was created in a small edition of only twenty impressions; this particular image is an artist’s proof aside from the regular edition. Dating to an early period in the artist’s career, “Boiling Blood” is a notable example of Ruscha’s early experimentation with the lithography medium.
Other impressions from this edition can be found in the collections of the Norton Simon Museum, The Amon Carter Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., the Yale University Art Gallery, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Related artists include John Anthony Baldessari, Robert Barry, Larry Bell, Billy Al Bengston, Mel Bochner, Robert Cottingham, Jim Dine, Charles Gaines, David Hockney, Robert Indiana, Jasper Johns, Alex Katz, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol LeWitt, Roy Lichtenstein, Ed Moses, Bruce Nauman, Claes Oldenburg, Richard Pettibone, Larry Rivers, Kay Rosen, James Rosenquist, Kenny Scharf, Frank Stella, Wayne Thiebaud, Lawrence Weiner, and Tom Wesselmann.

Notes: Mario Agustín Gaspar is a Mexican artisan known for his work in “maque” a pre-Hispanic lacquer and “pasta de caña” sculptures made from a corn-stalk paste. He works in the lakeside town of Pátzcuaro, Michoacán, along with his wife, Beatriz Ortega Ruiz, also an artisan in her own right. Maque is a preHispanic lacquering technique which Mario Agustin Gaspar prefers, but more modern lacquering, called “laca” is done at the workshop, mostly by Ortega Ruiz. She draws her designs from memory, most of which are traditional, but she has a few of her own invention.

The shadowbox-framed bag with three beaded mask motifs, two red and one yellow and black chevron-patterned, each representing various deities, on the front flap; all framed by a green beaded ground and floral and geometric motifs in red and yellow beads, terminating in three yellow beaded tassels
In frame: 18.625” H x 19.25” W x 5” D
$300-500
Provenance: Property of the American Broadcasting Company, New York Walt Disney Co., Burbank, California, acquired by corporate merger with the above Private Collection, Los Angeles, California, acquired from the above
Notes: A Yoruba diviner (babalawo) would have carried this beaded leather bag to transport divining implements during his travels. The bag is used by a diviner to carry the set of sixteen palm nuts (ikin), the divining chain (opele), and other ritual accessories. In fact, diviners, who lead a peripatetic lifestyle, are commonly known as “carriers of bags” (akapo). This bag’s beadwork calls upon many different deities for protection: green and yellow beads refer to Ifa (the Yoruba system of divination); red faces to the god Ogun; and a chevron pattern to the god Sango. The floral pattern, however, marks the influence of Victorian textiles - present during the period of British colonialism - on Yoruba design.

Tarmo Pasto (1906-1986)
Horse in rolling hills Oil on canvas
Signed lower center: Tarmo Pasto 22” H x 48” W
$1,000-1,500
Notes: Tarmo Pasto, a noted psychologist and art professor, was also a prolific painter who frequently exhibited his works. Though he is perhaps best known for bringing attention to the work of one of his patients, the so-called Outsider artist Martin Ramirez, Pasto was a key figure in a circle of artists working in and around the Sacramento area during the post-war period. This loose coalition of artists, which includes figures such as Mel Ramos, Wayne Thiebaud, and Jack Ogden, is known for exhibiting their work at institutions such as the Crocker Art Museum which holds examples of Pastoís work in its permanent collection.
In 1986, four years after a retrospective was held at the Crocker Art Museum, Tarmo Pasto died and left behind a large body of work that has largely remained unseen by subsequent generations of viewers. John Moran Auctioneers is pleased to offer this work for sale for the very first time.

$300-500
Notes: ‘At the age of six or seven, a Bontoc lad put on his sulpak, the small bowl-shaped hat or flattened pillbox, which by its appendages and decorations recorded his progress through society. When he was old enough to go headhunting, the girls in the ulogs (dormitories for maidens) gave him dogsí teeth and boarsí tusks to stick on the sides of his hat. He sewed slabs of pearl shell on the sides of covered the top with agate beads and added bunches of feathers on special occasions. Traditionally there were from one to three mother-of-pearl buttons on the crown of the bowl-shaped hat, and tufts of animal hair stuck up at each side over the three or four turns of red-dyed rattan which trimmed the edge. But when a man married, he put on a sober, less fancy hat; only bachelors or men between wives wore gaudy headgear.’ - Rith Linker for Penn Museum’s “Expedition” Vol. 4 Issue 1, pub. 1961

The antelope mask with attenuated proportions and cylindrical neck hollowed at the base, tiny pierced eyeholes and equalinterval holes at the perimeter for the attachment to raffia; decorated all-over with bands of diamond and dot motifs in black, white and red pigments; mounted onto a metal rod embedded in Lucite for display

$500-700
Provenance: Property of 21st Century Fox / Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc., New York; Walt Disney Co., Burbank, California, acquired by corporate merger with the above; Private Collection, Los Angeles, California, acquired from the above
Notes: This is a ceremonial headdress worn by the Karumba peoples of central Burkina Faso. Early examples of this mask such as this one are painted with geometric designs in natural pigments of white (kaolin), black (river mud or charcoal), and reddish brown (ochre). The headdress represents - according to the original myth - Sawadougou, the civilizing hero, who is said to have descended from the sky wearing a mask. His wife and children, who accompanied him, were endowed with the features of the antelope, the hyena, and the hare. Kurumba masks are used in three major events during the annual cycle: masks escort the body of dead male and female elders to the tomb and supervise the burial on behalf of the spirits of the ancestors of the clan. Weeks or even months later, during the dry season, masks appear at funerals to honor the deceased and to free the spirit to travel to the world of ancestors. Finally, just before the first rains in late May and June, masks appear at collective sacrifices in which the ancestors are honored together with the spirits of the protective antelope, Hippotragus koba, that is the totem of most Kurumba clans.

Notes: Joe Fig is a multi-media American artist and is best known for his use of visual culture to explore the creative process. Some of his early work brought attention to the artist’s space, therefore, he started creating reproductions/ miniature replicas of the spaces that prominent artists inhabited. Specifically, for this lot, the workspace that has been replicated and photographed is, Vincent van Gogh’s bedroom, where he is most likely reading over the letter’s between him and his brother Theo.
