According to the statement of work from the artist, Robyn Horn, “The turned wood sculptures I make resemble Geodes which are hollow stones full of quartz crystals. The crystals create a sharp contrast to the rough stone exterior. I have used the same concept in my “Geode Series,” concentrating primarily on using the contrast of the smooth, polished wood against the rough, textured wood to create a tension that gives the forms motion. As my work evolves, I focus increasingly on the surface, leaving thick substantial walls that can accommodate the movement and still be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer as well as to the touch.”

$2,000-3,000
Provenance: The Estate of Eleanor Koffler
Notes: Howard Finster, American folk artist and Baptist pastor, began his art career when he was 60 years old. Born in Alabama in 1916, Finster was raised in a Baptist household and gave his first sermon as a teenager. Themes from his Christian faith, coupled with Southern storytelling traditions, later suffused many of Howard Finster’s prints. Indeed, it’s said a vision inspired the first of many paintings by Howard Finster, and from then until his death in 2001, he made thousands of art pieces. Popular paintings by Howard Finster often incorporate bold images with Bible verses using only enamel paint and plywood cut into outlines of angels or animals. Yet, Howard Finster’s sculptures were his crowning achievements; the largest, Paradise Garden, is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places.
Reuben Aaron or R. A. Miller, a resident of Rabbittown, GA, an unincorporated community north of Gainesville, was one of Georgia’s enduring self-taught artists, noted for his “whirligigs,” metal cutout figures, and drawings, which typically feature animal or human figures and short inspirational messages.
Born on July 22, 1912, on the property where he lived for most of his life, R A Miller worked in cotton mills, farmed, and served as a preacher for the Free Will Baptist Church. When chronic eye problems began to limit Miller’s activities, he started making whirligigs to pass the time. Although Miller’s early whirligigs sometimes featured mechanical figures, most were decorated with flat animal or human shapes, cut from tin and painted in enamel. By the mid-1980s Miller’s yard was a spectacle—a hilltop field of hundreds of spinning windmills. His animated environment attracted frequent visitors, including Athens, GA rock group R.E.M., who in 1984, with painter and filmmaker James Herbert, filmed a twenty-minute video, Left of Reckoning, on Miller’s hilltop.
After folk-art dealers and collectors began to purchase Miller’s inexpensive whirligigs in large quantities, the artist started to make and sell cutout figures independent of the whirligigs. The best of Miller’s tin cutouts are gracefully abstracted and animated in gesture. His animal images range from bluebirds, chickens, pigs, and snakes to a variety of dinosaur types, and human figures including red devils, angels, such American cultural icons as Uncle Sam and Elvis Presley, and less welldefined characters that sport hats, cigars, or red claws.
Miller’s work has been included in such exhibitions as “Outside the Mainstream: Folk Art in Our Time” at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta (1988) and “Passionate Visions of the American South” at the New Orleans Museum of Art in Louisiana (October 1993-January 1994). Further exhibitions, the inclusion of his work in museums’ permanent collections, and articles in such international publications as Raw Vision have contributed to Miller’s status as an elder statesman among Georgia’s self-taught artists.
In 2004 Miller lost his sight to an eye infection and moved to a nursing home in Commerce, where he died in March 2006. The month before his death, an exhibition of his work entitled “R. A. Miller: A Tribute” opened at the Brenau University Galleries.

$500-700
Provenance: Estate of Dr. Sanford Kaufman and Dr. P. Waverly Davidson
Notes: Sea coconut, coco de mer, or double coconut is endemic to the islands of Praslin and Curieuse in the Seychelles. The fruit requires six to seven years to mature (and a further two years to germinate), and was originally believed to have been a sea-bean or drift seed- a seed designed to be dispersed by the sea. It is now known that because the nut is too heavy to float, it is only the rotten nuts that are found on the sea surface, which explains why the trees are limited in range to just two islands. Until the true source of the nut was discovered in 1768, it was believed by many to grow on a mythical tree at the bottom of the sea. The coco de mer tree is now a rare and protected species.

$2,000-3,000
Notes: This lot is being offered in a frame hand-painted by the artist. The number 268 is written on the stretcher bar in ink, verso.
Tarmo Pasto, a noted psychologist and art professor, was also a prolific painter who frequently exhibited his paintings during his lifetime. 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 Pasto’s 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.

With the artist’s sewn initials and dated lower left: PJ; dated again and titled on the artist’s information label affixed to the stretcher 24” H x 24” W
$800-1,200
Provenance: The Estate of Eleanor Koffler
Exhibited: Boulder, CO, Dairy Center for the Arts, “Horizons,” June 2010
Bronxville, NY, Osilas Gallery, “Sew New: Contemporary Quilt Artists,” November-December, 2010
Notes: According to the artist, a small study painting, acrylic on canvas (12” H x 12” W), was done before the creation of the piece, “Lifeline,” 2010, and remains in the artist’s collection. In addition, “Lifeline” was the first of 20 pieces created for the solo show, “Horizons,” at the Dairy Center for the Arts, Boulder, CO, in June 2010. “Lifeline” and three other pieces by the artist were in the exhibition, “Sew New: Contemporary Quilt Artists,” curated by Kenise Brown and sold for $1,000 to an unknown patron.
“Lifeline” was applied using freehand cutting, raw edge machine applique, and quilting, and was mounted and framed by the artist, and then overpainted. Furthermore, Phil Jones described his creative process by stating, “I am enthralled with the animated line, so I abstain from rulers, straight edges, and templates. I cut freely and directly into fabrics, using only my eye as a guide. I love unexpected color shifts, gradations, and high-contrast color combinations. I love fabrics and surface design and love putting them together in some sort of composition driven only by my intuition. I like exploring various optical effects in my work, especially transparency and shifting foreground/background. I am interested in creating works that explore aesthetic concerns, but at the same time are often anchored in the traditional motifs of stripes, checkerboards, borders, and binding found in more traditional quilts.”

“Jeu Pricier Mongol,” 1956

$400-600
Literature: Miles 82
Notes: According to Richard Miles, “...Jacoulet’s numbering system was eccentric at best....Existence of an edition does not mean that the edition was printed in full, and in most cases many fewer were pulled. It was Jacoulet’s practice to print only what he expected to sell, or had already sold, to subscribers....In addition, he tried not to duplicate numbers, and largely succeeded. Therefore, [in a hypothetical example], although a print stamped 290/350 is known to exist, there are fewer than 100 actual impressions with the edition of 350 stamp, because 200 of the earlier numbers were used up in the edition of 150 and 250. Even the edition of 150, of which number 150/150 is known, may have existed in fewer impression, because Jacoulet started printing some editions of 250 before completing the first printing....It goes without saying that many of the pre-war prints that did not leave Japan prior to 1941 are no longer in existence, and in many cases the delicate vegetable pigments have faded.”

It goes without saying that many of the pre-war prints that did not leave Japan prior to 1941 are no longer in existence, and in many cases the delicate vegetable pigments have faded.”
For this particular image, Miles states “This is the last and rarest of the Manchurian prints. The implied irony of the sumptuously gowned aristocratic lady gazing reverently at a most ordinary little statue was not lost on the artist.” And continues to say, “The complexion of the lady is enhanced with powdered pearl and small touches of a very fugitive pink.”

Miles States “One of the most popular of all of Jacoulet’s work, this beautiful Mongol Princess was the last print to sell out its entire edition during the artist’s lifetime.”

Notes: Notes: According to Richard Miles, “...Jacoulet’s numbering system was eccentric at best.... Existence of an edition does not mean that the edition was printed in full, and in most cases many fewer were pulled. It was Jacoulet’s practice to print only what he expected to sell, or had already sold, to subscribers....In addition, he tried not to duplicate numbers, and largely succeeded. Therefore, [in a hypothetical example], although a print stamped 290/350 is known to exist, there are fewer than 100 actual impressions with the edition of 350 stamp, because 200 of the earlier numbers were used up in the edition of 150 and 250. Even the edition of 150, of which number 150/150 is known, may have existed in fewer impression, because Jacoulet started printing some editions of 250 before completing the first printing....It goes without saying that many of the pre-war prints that did not leave Japan prior to 1941 are no longer in existence, and in many cases the delicate vegetable pigments have faded.”

Notes: Born in the unassuming small village of Lima, New York, Helen Hyde would go on to live the life of a globetrotting artist. Hyde began art classes at the age of 12 when her family moved to California, and would graduate from the Wellesley School when her mother moved them to Philadelphia after the death of her father. Hyde once again returned to California, enrolling at the School of Design in San Francisco. After a year of study in New York City, Hyde embarked on a whirlwind tour of art schools in Europe. It was in Paris that Hyde was introduced to all things Japanese, and in 1899 she made the journey to Japan.
While in Japan, Hyde immersed herself in the culture, learning Japanese and traditional Japanese art practices, eventually paring with woodblock carvers and printers. She worked with Shohiro Murate for almost eleven years. Hyde exhibited both nationally and internationally, and her work won honors in Japan and the United States, including the bronze medal for woodcut at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915 in San Diego. Hyde was also a member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, the Printmakers Society of California, the Chicago Society of Artists and the Société de la Grauvre en Couleur. She passed away in 1919.
Her work is included in the collections of many prestigious institutions, such as: Chicago Institute of Art
Brooklyn Museum, New York City
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City
