Property from the Collections and Estates of: A Prominent Michigan Collection Important Chicago Collector The Collection of Kazimir Karpuszko, Chicago, Illinois A Prominent Chicago Collection A Private East Coast Collection Stahr Collection, Barrington, Illinois The Collection of Richard Nickel, Chicago, Illinois Private Collection, Kansas City, Missouri The Estate of Candice B. Groot, Evanston, Illinois A Midwest Collection An Ohio Collection The Collection of Wilbert and Marilyn Hasbrouck, Chicago, Illinois The Collection of Rich and Patty Thumann, Tacoma, Washington The Paul and Terry Somerson Collection of 20th & 21st Century Metalwork and Jewelry The Estate of Michael Rabkin, Los Angeles, California A Private Colorado Collection

The following pieces are from the Rabkin House in West Los Angeles, California, originally designed in 1937 by architect Lloyd Wright (eldest son of Frank Lloyd Wright) for the English cellist Walker Evans. Most prominently featured in the collection is the work of Gilbert Rohde, including furniture designs from his Paldao, East India Laurel and Executive Office Group lines. Beginning in 1930, Rohde led the transition at Herman Miller away from historicist furniture towards modern design, and this offering represents that important stage in the company’s development. Similarly, David Robertson Smith’s now uncommon Dynamique line of furniture from 1928, which echoes Paul Frankl’s “skyscraper” designs from the same period, began Johnson Furniture Company’s shift to modern design. Generally considered Art Deco in style, this collection was featured in the July 1995 issue of Architectural Digest, and it also includes notable works by Donald Deskey, Russell Wright, Warren McArthur and Paul Frankl. 8

Early mid-century furniture designer Warren McArthur has experienced a renaissance in the last few decades. His tubular aluminum furniture with internal steel supports is now appreciated for its originality and durability. McArthur ingeniously developed lightweight yet sturdy furniture with pronounced joints that are incorporated into the overall aesthetic. These McArthur prototype chests were designed as part of The Schafer Collection in 1934 once the Warren McArthur Corporation had moved from Los Angeles to Rome, New York. According to Nicholas Brown, a 20th century art and design dealer and McArthur expert in Camden, Maine, "Don Schafer was Warren's upholstery foreman and the only one of four salaried employees to have his relocation paid for by the company." Part of Schafer's compensation package for moving was that McArthur would personally design a bedroom suite, writing desk and four occasional tables for the Schafer family. These chests belonged to the bedroom suite and were fashioned from "select-grade Adirondack white mountain birch and glazed in translucent lightly tinted lacquer." Brown further notes that the Schafer prototypes are especially rare since their "anodized aluminum frames, while typical in construction, are dissimilar to all other pieces" given their thicker "rectilinear tubing for horizontal structuring."

Their best-known furniture design, the ‘Mies’ chair and ottoman, was largely a reaction to the unadorned rationalist ideas of designers such as Mies van der Rohe. Both welcoming and oddly disruptive, its over-simplification of modernist geometries and materials exemplifies many of the groups motivations, deliberately challenging pervasive understandings of functional space. 439 Studio Tetrarch for Bazzani Tovaglia coffee table Italy, 1969 lacquered fiberglass unmarked 43”sq x 15”h $3,000-5,000

Literature: Designed for Delight: Alternative Aspects of Twentieth-Century Decorative Arts, Montreal Museum of Decorative Arts, 1997, p. 276, fig. 188 Gramigna, Giuliana, Repertorio 1950/1980, Mondadori, 1985, p. 295 Catalog Note: In 1995, Enrico De Munari, one of the Studio Tetrarch designers, explained the rationale for the Tovaglia table in a letter to the Montreal Museum of Decorative Arts. De Munari and his collaborators wanted to highlight "the incapacity prevalent among the majority of designers of that particular period [the late 1960s] to interpret correctly the use of a new material like plastic." Intending to present "a friendly admonition and a lighthearted reproach" with the Tovaglia table, De Munari asserted that in "imitating the 'ways' of wood and iron, one could end up not only confusing one material with another, taking away their own semantic identity, but even mixing up form and content, that is to say, in our case, tablecloth and table." 39

SELECTED BIOGRAPHIES Robert Arneson (American, 1930-1992) Born in Benicia, California in 1930, Robert Arneson resided for many years in his beloved home city on the east side of the San Francisco Bay. From an early age, Arneson showed great promise as an artist with pencil drawings and he also excelled painting watercolors. Initially, Arneson hoped to become a cartoonist focusing on sports, and his comics were published on a weekly basis while he was still in high school. Yet after earning a BFA at California College of the Arts and an MFA from Mills College, both in Oakland, Arneson began working as a high school ceramics teacher and went on to spend 30 years as a professor of ceramics at UC Davis near Sacramento. In the 1960s, inspired by modern ceramicists such as Peter Voulkos, Arneson established his identity as an artist by making non-functional, clay sculptures of everyday objects. These early works include colorful plates, trophies, toasters, typewriters, bottles, and even toilets. By the 1970s, Arneson’s subject matter shifted and he became heavily devoted to the self-portraits for which he is most famous today. These self-referential sculptures and paintings were often humorous, irreverent, and even vulgar on the surface, but, above all, they express Arneson’s interest in the alternately poignant and absurd human condition. Along with such California artists as Ken Price, William T. Wiley, and Roy de Forest, Arneson is considered one of the progenitors of the Funk Art Movement in the 1960s and 1970s. Throughout the 1980s, Arneson shifted his artistic focus in a more politically satirical direction. After a long battle with cancer, Arneson died in 1992 at home in Benicia. Arneson’s ceramic sculptures and other artwork regularly achieve high prices at auction and can be found in museums and private collections all over the country, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC, and the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut. Harry Bertoia (Italian/American, 1915-1978) Harry Bertoia was born in Pordenone, Italy in 1915 and followed his older brother to Detroit, Michigan in 1930. At Cass Technical High School, Bertoia trained in art, design, and jewelry making. He also spent time at the Art School of the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts (later renamed the College for Creative Studies). In 1937, Bertoia received a scholarship to study at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, where he met Walter Gropius, Florence Knoll, Eero Saarinen, and Charles and Ray Eames. Bertoia later taught both jewelry design and metalworking at Cranbrook, exploring ideas that would eventually appear in his sculpture. During World War II, Bertoia married Brigitta Valentiner and soon the couple moved to Venice, California, where Bertoia worked with Charles and Ray Eames at the Evans Products Company to develop new techniques for molding plywood. While in California, Bertoia learned welding at Santa Monica City College. In 1949, he was invited to work with Florence and Hans Knoll. Bertoia’s collaboration with Knoll was memorable. His steel-wire furniture designs became very popular, especially the Diamond Chair, which repurposed an industrial material into a gracefully sculpted form. By the middle of the 1950s, Bertoia’s furniture line proved lucrative enough for him to focus exclusively on sculpture. In the years that followed, he created more than 50 pieces of public sculpture. During the 1960s, Bertoia added the element of sound in his Sonambient sculptures with vertical rods that generate various tones as they collide. He even recorded a series of albums featuring music produced by his Sonambient sculptures. Bertoia passed away at age 63 due to lung cancer in 1978, leaving behind his wife, two daughters, and a son, Val, who now makes his own Sonambient sculptures. Harry Bertoia’s work is part of the collections of several museums, including the Detroit Institute of Art, the Brooklyn Museum in New York City, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington DC, and others. Joseph A. Burlini (American, b. 1937) With a special place in the public sphere, creating pieces of both large-scale and intimate sculpture, Joseph A. Burlini’s artistic identity exists in tandem with the strong work ethic of Chicago. Thoughtfully clever in his execution and composition in relation to materials, Burlini’s work has also remained accessible over time. Born in 1937, Burlini spent his youth in Morton Grove, Illinois. He studied industrial design at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1956 to 1960. To start his professional life, Burlini worked at Sears Roebuck and Co. for six years designing toys, cameras, rifles, and other goods. In his spare time, Burlini began to experiment with drawing “Larger Than Life” celebrity portraits and welding sculptures from steel rods. In 1965, Burlini entered a sculpture in the Chicago and Vicinity show at the Art Institute of Chicago and won the John G. Curtis prize. Subsequently, Burlini told his new wife, Sue Ellen, that he planned to quit working in industrial design to become a full-time artist and she encouraged him to pursue his passion. Throughout Burlini’s 50-plus years as an artist, his focus has evolved in multiple directions. During his gallery years, Burlini had a 15-year machine phase and later a Man in the Box period. Burlini also produced his Satin and Smoke polished bronze series and 24-carat gold Butterfly People. Perhaps most notably, Burlini had a 15-year stretch in which he created kinetic do-nothing machines composed of metal rods, wheels, wings, and rudders. The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago held an early retrospective of Burlini’s work in 1977 entitled Rockets to Rainbows. In later years, Burlini was commissioned to create bold public sculptures and innovative awards for various companies and organizations. His clients have included Walt Disney Studios, McDonald’s, Standard Oil, the U.S. Pentagon, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and many other Chicago-area institutions. From May 9 to June 14, 2019, the Koehnline Museum of Art at Oakton Community College in Des Plaines, Illinois held a major retrospective with examples of sculpture and artwork from each phase of Burlini’s distinguished career.

Elizabeth Eaton Burton (American, 1869-1937) Known for her keen sense of materials and unusual aesthetic, Elizabeth Eaton Burton was often influenced by the landscape of her native Southern California and its rich history of local traditions. Burton was versatile in many mediums from leatherwork to woodblock printing to painting and photography. Yet her use of shells within repoussé metalwork left a lasting impression. Burton was born in 1869 in Paris, France to notable artist Charles Frederick Eaton (1842-1930) and Helen Justice Mitchell, who was also artistically inclined. Mr. Eaton was from a prominent East Coast family and studied painting in Paris. Elizabeth spent her childhood in France until her mother’s health declined and her father’s cramping ailment required him to give up painting. An avid antique collector, Mr. Eaton eventually created his own metalwork, leatherwork, and woodwork. In her scrapbook, Elizabeth fondly recalled spending time observing her father in the studio as cabinetmakers worked. She and her father shared a close bond and he influenced her work tremendously. The family moved to Santa Barbara, California when Elizabeth was 17. This ended up proving essential to Elizabeth’s creative development. She was captivated by the local craftsmen and drew inspiration from the Mexican leatherwork traditions manifest in saddles, belts, bags, and other small goods. Elizabeth refined her skills with help from the craftsmen and began creating her own leather and wood pieces. In 1896, she opened her first studio and continually experimented with new methods of designing ornamental leatherwork. She also produced screens, friezes, boxes, cushions, and desk accessories. Her work was well received by peers, including Gustav Stickley, one of the leaders of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. Elizabeth Eaton Burton’s eclectic vision led to success in her own time and burnished her artistic reputation for posterity. Today her work is included in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Red Roses Foundation, the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, the Museum of California Design, and in many private collections. Barry Byrne (American, 1883-1967) Francis Barry Byrne was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1883. Ultimately associated with the leading figures of the Prairie School, Byrne led an eventful life as a dedicated architect from coast to coast. After his first encounter with Frank Lloyd Wright’s works at the Chicago Architectural Club in 1902, Byrne grew enchanted with Prairie School architecture and design. Later that year, he began his apprenticeship at the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Oak Park, Illinois. Despite having no previous experience in the field, Byrne assisted important members of the studio, including Walter Burley Griffin, in executing drawings for a number of iconic buildings such as the Avery Coonley House and Unity Temple. Within five years, Byrne was considered a working member of the studio rather than an apprentice. In 1908, Byrne left Wright’s studio and moved to Seattle, Washington, forging a business partnership with Andrew Willatzen, one of Wright’s former employees. Together, they designed over 50 residential and commercial structures. Once the partnership came to an end in 1913, Byrne stayed briefly in California with Wright’s sons looking for work. In 1914, Byrne returned to Illinois to manage the Chicago architectural office of Walter Burley Griffin. This position lasted for three years until Byrne started operating under his own name. After serving in World War I, Byrne returned to Chicago. In the 1920s, he developed a distinctive style, steering away from the Prairie School aesthetics of Wright. Byrne was also influenced by Annette Cremin, his artist wife whom he met through the sculptor Alfonso Iannelli; Byrne and Iannelli were frequent collaborators. During the height of Bryne’s career, he designed multiple ecclesiastical and educational buildings for the Roman Catholic Church. His most recognized works are the Church of Christ the King in Turners Cross, Cork, Ireland (1931), the Church of St. Francis Xavier in Kansas City, Missouri (1949), and St. Benedict’s Abbey in Atchison, Kansas (1951-1957). Lynn Russell Chadwick (British, 1914-2003) Improvisational, abstract sculptor Lynn Chadwick was born in Barnes, west of London, in 1914. He learned architectural design at Merchant Taylors’ School and then was a draftsman in various architectural offices. Visits to the salon of modernist architect Rodney Thomas inspired Chadwick to pursue sculpture. His first attempts were reminiscent of Calder mobiles, with light woods like balsa acting as a counterweight to copper and brass. During the early stages of World War II, Chadwick registered as a conscientious objector. However, he did eventually become a pilot who accompanied military convoys as the Nazi threat intensified. Upon his return to London, Chadwick threw himself into his work with more spirit than ever. Instead of starting from preliminary sketches, Chadwick preferred to work without a set plan, allowing materials to dictate process. In addition to mobiles, Chadwick started making small-form sculptures. After a gallery show at Gimpel Fils in London, significant critical attention elevated Chadwick such that the Arts Council of Britain asked him to make a large sculpture for the Festival of Britain in 1951. The result was The Fisheater, which the Tate Gallery exhibited through the following year. Chadwick acted as the British representative for the Venice Biennale in 1952 and 1956, becoming the youngest recipient of the International Sculpture Prize in 1956. As the 1960s began, Chadwick’s work grew larger and more abstract, yet still regularly suggestive of human and animal forms. His first steel sculpture, Two Winged Figures, appeared at an outdoor show in 1962. Chadwick was given the Commander of the Order of the British Empire distinction in 1962, France’s Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1985, and became a Royal Academician of the United Kingdom in 2001. Today Chadwick’s sculptures and mobiles are housed within the collections of important institutions on both sides of the Atlantic: the Royal Academy of Arts in London, the Musée Rodin in Paris, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and many others. In early 2003, Tate Britain staged a major retrospective spanning Chadwick’s entire career not long after his death.

Christo Vladimirov Javacheff (Bulgarian/American, b. 1935) and Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon (French/ American, 1935-2009) The husband-and-wife artist team, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, enjoyed a 50-year partnership from their meeting in 1959 to Jeanne-Claude’s passing in 2009 due to a brain aneurysm. Their work includes large-scale, temporary public art installations. The couple has proudly been self-financed throughout their career, selling conceptual sketches and collages and designing storefronts for revenue. Until 1994, all work was only credited to Christo, but the couple then revealed that they had always been working together. Christo was born on June 13, 1935 in Gabrovo, Bulgaria. After art training at the Sofia Academy, he fled Communism to settle in Paris, where he earned his living as a portrait painter. Coincidentally, Jeanne-Claude was also born on June 13, 1935 in Casablanca, Morocco into a French family. She earned a degree in Latin and philosophy from the University of Tunis before settling in Paris in 1957. The couple met when Christo painted a portrait of JeanneClaude’s mother. After Jeanne-Claude became pregnant by Christo, she ended her engagement to another man. The couple’s son, Cyril, was born in 1960. Christo and Jeanne-Claude began their joint artistic career in 1961, covering barrels with fabric in the port of Cologne, Germany. The following year they created Iron Curtain, a road blockade in Paris made of stacked oil barrels. The couple moved to New York City in 1964 and began showing work in galleries while also creating storefronts. Over the next four decades, Christo and Jeanne-Claude would become world-famous artists as a result of high-profile public projects, such as: Wrapped Coast (1968-1969), which involved covering a large portion of the coast of Little Bay in Sydney, Australia with synthetic fabric; Valley Curtain (1971-1972), which featured a massive red cloth suspended amid the Rocky Mountains near Rifle, Colorado; Running Fence (1976), in which a fabric fence spanned 25 miles in Sonoma and Marin Counties north of San Francisco; Surrounded Islands (1983), which saw 11 islands rimmed with pink fabric in Miami’s Biscayne Bay; Wrapped Pont-Neuf (1985), in which Paris’ oldest bridge was wrapped with polyamide material; The Umbrellas (1991), which featured 3,000 huge yellow umbrellas set up in Southern California and Ibaraki, Japan; Wrapped Reichstag (1995), in which fabric and aluminum covered the German Parliament building in Berlin; and The Gates (2005), which consisted of 7,503 gates draped with orange fabric in Central Park in New York. Since Jeanne-Claude’s death in 2009, Christo has overseen The Floating Piers (2016), which included floating yellow walkways on Lake Iseo between two villages near Brescia, Italy, and The London Mastaba (2018), which featured 7,506 oil barrels arranged into a mastaba, or three-dimensional trapezoid, floating on the Serpentine in Hyde Park in London. Proposed plans also exist for The Mastaba, a gigantic, permanent structure composed of 400,000 oil barrels in Al Gharbia in the United Arab Emirates. Claude Conover (American, 1907-1994) Mid-century American ceramicist Claude Conover was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1907. He received his education at the Cleveland Art Institute and then settled in Cleveland, Ohio for the remainder of his life. For the first 30 years of Conover’s career, he was a commercial graphic designer. In his spare time, Conover began to make pottery in a studio behind his home. Before long, he gravitated to working with stoneware in an earth-tone palette. During his initial phase, Conover created animals, bowls, and lamps. Eventually, he found the form for which he would become famous: large rounded vases that evoke the clay creations of antiquity. At age 55, Conover quit his day job to pursue pottery on a full-time basis and dedicated himself to a seven-day routine. On Mondays, he rolled slabs of clay and shaped them into vessels. Tuesdays involved evaluating the forms, further shaping, and adding necks. On Wednesdays, Conover completed the shaping process by hand, without a pottery wheel. He started decorating his pieces on Thursdays with a sawtooth blade and scratched stripes or small, prehistoric-looking scripts onto them. Over the weekend, Conover completed decorative work, including painting, so that he could begin the process anew the following Monday. In this determined way, Conover generated around 250 works of pottery per year, some of which remained in the Cleveland area, but the vast majority were sold to collectors elsewhere. With Conover’s rising reputation, he became a prominent member of The Cleveland School, a group of artists active in various mediums who, from 1910 to 1960, helped found the Cleveland School of Art (now Cleveland Institute of Art), the Cleveland Society of Arts, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. During Conover’s time as a ceramicist, his pottery was shown in exhibits across America and abroad. Since his passing in 1994, appreciation for Conover’s oeuvre has continued to grow. Today his vases and other forms are part of the collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Columbus Gallery of Fine Art, the Museum of Contemporary Crafts in New York City, and many other institutions. Likewise, demand for Conover’s hand-shaped clay forms has increased among collectors, with examples regularly achieving impressive prices at auction and via private sale. Edward Sheriff Curtis (American, 1868-1952) In 1868, Edward Sheriff Curtis was born on a farm near Whitewater, Wisconsin. After working at a photography studio in St. Paul, Minnesota, Curtis moved to Seattle, Washington, where he soon married Clara Phillips. With a newly purchased camera, Curtis bought into a local studio. Edward and Clara had the first of four children in 1893 and lived above the thriving studio. Generally, Curtis photographed upperclass women in a flattering style. However, in 1895, Curtis took pictures of Princess Angeline, daughter of Chief Sealth of the Duwamish tribe. Three years later at Mount Rainer, Curtis met anthropologist George Bird Grinnell, who hired Curtis to photograph the Harriman Alaska Expedition of 1899. On this trip, Curtis was introduced to both powerful scenery and Eskimos. Grinnell then invited Curtis to Montana to photograph the Piegan tribe. This inspired Curtis to make documenting Native Americans and their customs his singular goal. Curtis first exhibited his photography in Seattle and then lectured nationally. President Theodore Roosevelt admired Curtis’ work and J.P. Morgan became Curtis’ primary patron in 1906. For 25 sets of 500-print volumes, Morgan paid Curtis $75,000 over five years. Curtis took an extensive wagon tour of the American West with researchers and interpreters. En route, he photographed leaders like Geronimo, Medicine Crow, and Chief Joseph. Curtis and his team also made wax recordings of native speech and songs. Most tribes trusted Curtis and he was named “Shadow Catcher” for his high-contrast, golden-hued orotones. Upon Morgan’s death in 1913, Curtis’ funding dwindled, affecting his photography and family. Clara filed for divorce in 1916 and won the Curtis Studio and home in the settlement. In the 1920s, Curtis revisited various tribes and observed their dramatic cultural erosion. By 1930, Curtis issued the final volume of The North American Indian, his epic collection of over 40,000 photographs. Yet the original sets only garnered $1,000 plus partial royalties. In 1952, Curtis died of a heart attack in Los Angeles at 84. His vast trove of photos now offers a window into a largely lost world. While some have criticized Curtis for staging certain scenes, the historical importance of his work is clear and, for his time, he was quite sensitive to and engaged with the plight of Native Americans.

Alfonso Iannelli (Italian/American, 1888-1965) Alfonso Iannelli was born in Andretta, Italy in 1888 before immigrating to America when he was 10. Iannelli spent most of his life in Chicago and is recognized for his creative achievements in conjunction with various noted architects, designers, and artists. Before embarking upon his career, Iannelli was formally trained under Gutzon Borglum, who sculpted Mount Rushmore. In the early 1910s, Iannelli designed advertisement posters for the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles. Through this work, he befriended Frank Lloyd Wright’s son, John, who promptly introduced Iannelli to his father. Wright invited Iannelli to join him in Chicago to contribute to the Midway Gardens project in 1914, for which Iannelli created several Sprite sculptures; one example is currently on view at the Art Institute of Chicago. Another iconic building on which Iannelli worked is Chicago’s Adler Planetarium, completed in 1930 by architect Ernest A. Grunsfeld III. For the Adler, Iannelli devised a series of zodiac-themed, Art Deco-style plaques. He also teamed with the Prairie School architectural duo of William Gray Purcell and George Grant Elmslie on the Woodbury County Courthouse in Sioux City, Iowa. With architect Barry Byrne, Iannelli executed several sculptural commissions for Roman Catholic Church buildings. In Park Ridge, Illinois, northwest of Chicago, Iannelli and his wife Margaret established Iannelli Studios, which became a popular spot for artists and designers to work side by side. Since 2006, Iannelli Studios has been occupied by the Kalo Foundation, which furthers the legacy of the renowned Arts and Crafts silversmith and jewelry making shop. In the 1920s and 1930s, Iannelli focused on industrial, commercial, and interior design. His realized products include the C-20 Coffeemaster vacuum coffee maker and the T-9 electric toaster for Sunbeam Products; both were showcased at the 1939 World’s Fair in New York City. Iannelli’s functional designs mostly fall under the international Art Deco style of Streamline Moderne. Two interior spaces by Iannelli were listed on the National Register of Historic Places during his career: the Pickwick Theater in Park Ridge, Illinois (1928) and the Catlow Theater in Barrington, Illinois (1927). Iannelli died in Chicago in 1965, leaving behind an important art and design legacy in the Midwest and beyond. Miyoko Ito (American, 1918-1983) Allusive abstractionist Miyoko Ito was born into a Japanese family in Berkeley, California in 1918. She moved to Japan with her parents in 1923 to avoid discrimination and for initial art training, including calligraphy lessons. Ito later returned to Berkeley and majored in art at the University of California, where she was exposed to cubist works by Picasso and Braque plus Hans Hofmann’s geometric compositions. During World War II, Ito was interned with her family at the Topaz camp in Delta, Utah, but she was awarded her diploma from UC Berkeley in 1942. After graduate study at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, Ito earned a scholarship for postgraduate work at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In the late 1940s, Ito began to paint abstract oils in a cubist style softened with impressionistic brushwork. Critical acclaim came in the 1950s as Ito’s paintings were part of the Art Institute’s Chicago and Vicinity shows as well as the 61st American Exhibition in 1954. During this period, Ito befriended local artists such as Ray Yoshida and Evely Statsinger whose passion for surrealism led Ito to move away from representational painting. Rather than render landscapes, figures, or objects explicitly, Ito suggested them with shapes, lines, and curves. Simultaneously, Ito’s preferred palette went from pastels to vivid oranges and reds, which she banded subtly to compel attention. Although free of pop references, the work that Ito made in the 1960s has been linked tangentially to Chicago Imagism, and Ito knew Jim Nutt, Gladys Nilsson, and Roger Brown. Blues, greens, and purples returned to Ito’s painting in the 1970s before she grew more formally abstract as the 1980s began. With the artists Richard Loving, William Conger, and Frank Piatek, Ito devised the term ‘allusive abstractionism’ for their shared approach. The Hyde Park Art Center organized a solo Ito exhibit in 1971 and her work was included in the contemporary art biennial at the Whitney Museum in New York City in 1975. The University of Chicago’s Renaissance Society held a career retrospective in 1980, not long before Ito’s death in 1983. Recently, the market for Ito’s paintings and drawings has grown considerably. Institutions holding works by Ito include the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington DC, the Art Institute of Chicago, the University of Chicago’s Smart Museum, and the Illinois State Museum in Springfield. Robert Riddle Jarvie (American, 1865-1941) Born to Scottish parents in Schenectady, New York in 1865, Robert Riddle Jarvie was not formally trained in metalsmithing, but he had an early penchant for sketching, bookbinding, and cabinet making. Once he relocated to Chicago, Jarvie began initial experiments with metalwork around the turn of the 20th century in his apartment. In particular, a distinctive lantern that Jarvie made for a friend attracted more buyers. At the Third Annual Chicago Arts and Crafts Exhibit in 1900, Jarvie had the first opportunity to showcase his work. That same year he became a partner at Krayle Co., a commercial and social alliance of local artisans and craftsmen, and set up his studio, the Jarvie Shop, in Chicago’s Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue. While Jarvie’s designs had previously ranged from Colonial to Art Nouveau, he soon developed simpler organic forms that represented a Midwestern take on the Arts and Crafts Movement. Between 1910 and 1915, Jarvie began forging products using precious metals such as gold and silver that garnered wide acclaim. Charles Hutchinson, President of the Art Institute of Chicago, commissioned Jarvie to produce a silver punch bowl for the Cliff Dwellers Club of Chicago, as both men were members; Jarvie modeled his design on an object used by Southwestern cliff dwellers that he had seen at Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History. In 1912, Jarvie started creating functional trophies such as bowls, drinkware, and other forms for the Union Stock Yard Company. Jarvie also lived on the premises. Some of his works from this period are reminiscent of Paul Revere’s style. After World War I, the Jarvie Shop ceased operations. Jarvie and his wife then moved to Evanston, Illinois, since she was employed at Northwestern University, and Jarvie worked briefly for the C.D. Peacock Company. The Jarvies later retired to the Scottish Old People’s Home in North Riverside, Illinois until their passing. During the Arts and Crafts revival of the late 20th century, collectors developed a renewed appreciation for the metalwork of Jarvie. Today examples of his designs are represented at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and elsewhere.

The Kalo Shop (1900-1970) Founded in 1900 by Clara P. Barck and five other female graduates of Louis J. Millet’s decorative design course at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Kalo Shop rose to be the most important Arts and Crafts silversmith studio in the United States. From Millet, the shop adopted the motto “beautiful, useful, and enduring” for their wares. In addition to jewelry, the shop produced works in burnt wood, leather, and other types of decorative arts. In 1905, Barck married George Welles, a coal merchant and amateur silversmith, who encouraged Barck to focus more on copper and silver objects. In the following year, Barck’s sister purchased a large home in Park Ridge, Illinois, which became the central location for the Kalo Arts and Crafts Community. Along with hiring various male silversmiths, Barck created a school for female designers and artisans who came to be known as the “Kalo Girls.” In 1912, Barck opened a Kalo branch in New York that lasted until 1916. All silversmiths were required to mark pieces they produced during business hours with the Kalo stamp. They were also allowed to create work on their own time as long as they did not mark it with the stamp. Many copper, silver, and gold pieces still exist that were undoubtedly made by Kalo silversmiths but are unmarked. Some noted Kalo silversmiths include: Grant Wood (painter of American Gothic), Matthias Hank, Julius Olaf Randahl, Henri A. Eicher, Yngve Olsson, Kristoffer Haga, Robert R. Bower, and many others. Barck retired in 1939 and moved to San Diego. She gifted the Kalo Shop in 1959 to the four remaining workers: Robert R. Bower, Arne Myhre, Yngve Olsson, and Daniel Pedersen. As few new silversmiths entered the trade, the shop closed in 1970 after Olsson passed away. The Kalo Shop was prolific and objects continue to surface all over, but the rarest pieces always demand a premium. Objects with stones, repoussé work, or added decoration are often exquisite and embody the epitome of the ideals of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Charles P. Limbert (American, 1854-1923) Originally from Linesville, Pennsylvania, Charles P. Limbert was born in 1854 into the furniture business. His father was a dealer who trained Limbert once the family moved to Akron, Ohio in 1866. After working at his father’s Akron store, Limbert became a furniture salesman for Munk & Roberts in Connersville, Indiana and later John A. Colby Company in Chicago. In 1899, Limbert and fellow salesman Philip J. Klingman set up a showroom in Grand Rapids, Michigan to exhibit products from several makers. Starting in 1894, Limbert had begun to manufacture his own chairs, which he sold at the Grand Rapids store along with furniture by firms such as Old Hickory Chair Company. In 1902, Limbert opened up his own furniture factory, Charles P. Limbert Co., with around 200 employees in Grand Rapids. The manufacturing plant moved to nearby Holland in 1906. These formative years were the most prolific in the company’s history with the release of the popular Holland Dutch Arts and Crafts Furniture line, which included both indoor and outdoor sets. Influenced by frequent research trips to the Netherlands, Limbert’s style became an amalgamation of Dutch and English Arts and Crafts as well as American Mission. To impress upon customers that Limbert furniture was made by hand, the company’s logo featured a man bent dutifully over a workbench. At the Limbert factory, some processes were executed by machine, but all assembly and finishing work was done individually by hand. Until 1915, Charles P. Limbert Co. produced the same models and styles with slight variations, omissions, and additions. During World War I and into the 1920s, Limbert shifted his focus away from Arts and Crafts lines to follow the market demand for historical furniture styles like Tudor and Renaissance Revival. Limbert was in charge of the company until 1922 when his health began to fail and he passed away the following year. Charles P. Limbert Co. would continue to operate through the 1930s. Furniture from Limbert’s prime Arts and Crafts period is now held in high esteem by collectors and examples are on view at such places as the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan and the Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art in Denver, Colorado. Susan Jacobs Lockhart (American, b. 1935) Multi-talented designer, musician, and educator Susan Jacobs Lockhart has dedicated herself over many years to preserving the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright. Lockhart’s involvement with Wright began at an early age. Her parents, Herbert and Katherine, commissioned Wright to build their home in Madison, Wisconsin. Named Usonia I (1936), the residence was a compact and energy-efficient structure; this was one of several experiments by Wright to design for cost-conscious households. Lockhart met Wright when she was only 3 and began visiting Wright’s Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona with her parents regularly in subsequent years. In addition to architecture, Taliesin West encouraged all manner of artistic expression. For her part, the young Lockhart would often play piano for Wright and other Taliesin fellows. Upon graduating from the University of Wisconsin–Madison with a degree in Arts Education in 1953, Lockhart moved to New York City to study music. During this time, Wright invited Lockhart to join him in the desert permanently. Completed in 1937, Wright’s Taliesin West was initially conceived as a seasonal retreat for Wright’s health. Its Fellowship allowed young artists, architects, and designers to reside on the property while partaking in architectural education, collaborative construction works, and various activities. While Lockhart started as an administrative staff member, she eventually became a full fellow. Her fine arts background and musical inclination combined with Taliesin’s community-centric environment proved to be an ideal match. As a member of the Taliesin Fellowship for the last 45 years, Lockhart has been involved in all aspects of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation’s operations. She is a recent past President of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy after having served on its board for many years. Additionally, she has served as a board member and director of events for various cultural and artistic organizations in Arizona. As an artist, she has created commission-based sculptures in various mediums, including glass, stained wood, and fabric. Her works incorporate natural forms from her surroundings, often rendered as abstract geometric patterns — a method consistently practiced by Wright and other Taliesin fellows. Lockhart frequently lectures about her designs as well as Wright’s philosophies and sustainability in architecture.

Warren McArthur (American, 1885-1961) Designer Warren McArthur was born in 1885 in Chicago. His was an affluent family for whom Frank Lloyd Wright built a home in the Kenwood neighborhood in 1892. McArthur studied engineering at Cornell University and then moved to Phoenix to work with his brother Charles selling Dodge automobiles and starting a radio station. Older brother Albert Chase McArthur, a Wrighttrained architect, soon joined them and the trio worked to develop the Arizona Biltmore Hotel. Warren McArthur was tasked with creating furniture for both indoor and outdoor use. His solution was to employ tubular aluminum with prominent external joints and internal steel rods for extra support. When the Arizona Biltmore closed after the onset of the Great Depression in 1929, McArthur relocated to Los Angeles and founded the Warren McArthur Corporation. He soon marketed a limited line of sleek desks, tables, chairs, and other pieces that appealed to Hollywood luminaries such as Clark Cable and Marlene Dietrich. In 1932, McArthur opted to shift operations to Rome in Upstate New York before moving again in 1936 to Bantam, Connecticut. Throughout the 1930s, McArthur was an influential figure in New York City, setting up a showroom there, and his firm made furniture not only for celebrities, but also for Chrysler’s executive offices, Marshall Field’s hair salon, and dining cars on the Union Pacific Railroad. During World War II, the Warren McArthur Corporation crafted lightweight aluminum seats for airplanes. An unsubstantiated rumor held that McArthur’s artful designs were melted down for war mobilization, but they were simply difficult to produce on a large scale given their intricate mechanics and delicate upholstery. In the postwar years, demand plummeted and the Warren McArthur Corporation closed in 1948. McArthur passed away in 1961 and only after his death did interest in his bold innovations rekindle. In recent years, various architects, dealers, interior decorators, and famous clients have sought to acquire McArthur furniture, which is now regarded as ahead of its time. Independently, McArthur implemented tubular aluminum and steel prior to Bauhaus designers Marcel Breuer, Le Corbusier, and Mies van der Rohe. Margaret Jordan Patterson (American, 1867-1950) Although raised in Boston, Massachusetts and Maine, Margaret Jordan Patterson was born aboard a ship in Surabaya, East Java in 1867 because her father was a sea captain. This early exposure to the vibrancy of nature, and coastal scenes in particular, appears to have stayed with Patterson on her way to becoming an artist. After taking a correspondence course with Louis Prang, Patterson studied at the Pratt Institute in New York City as well as with the Spanish painters Claudio Castellucho in Florence and Ermengildo Anglada-Camrasa in Paris. Back in America, the artist Ethel Mars taught Patterson to make color woodblock prints in 1910 and this became Patterson’s preferred medium. Generally, her bright compositions include trees, flowers, and a range of landscapes, frequently with bodies of water. Her woodblocks show a deep understanding of color balance and she uses high relief to produce a dreamlike realism. Patterson was awarded for her work at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. Along with being a prolific artist, Patterson taught for many years at Dana Hall School in Wellesley, Massachusetts and public schools elsewhere in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Prior to her death in Boston in 1950, Patterson exhibited widely and several important institutions now hold examples of her art, including the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington DC, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Lately, collectors have increasingly come to admire the work of Patterson and other highly skilled Arts and Crafts woodblock artists such as: Bertha Lum, who trained in traditional printmaking in Japan, lived in China, and favored Asian subject matter; William Seltzer Rice, known for his scenes of Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, and California missions; and Pedro Joseph de Lemos, who rendered the Monterey Bay Area in striking detail. Pewabic Pottery (1903-present) Founded in Detroit, Michigan in 1903 by Mary Chase Perry Stratton and Horace James Caulkins, the Pewabic Pottery ceramic studio has a rich history of making decorative items and architectural tiles in the Arts and Crafts style. Stratton was a teacher with artistic flair and a keen sense of marketing. Her partner Caulkins was a high-heat and kiln expert who created a process for better revealing the innate properties of materials used in pottery production with his “Revelation kiln.” The name Pewabic derives from the Ojibwa/ Chippewa term “bewabic” (i.e., iron or steel), with “Pewabic” referring specifically to a copper mine in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula that Stratton frequented with her father. To the metals and clays that Stratton and Caulkins fashioned, they added various signature matte and iridescent glazes. In the early part of the 20th century, Pewabic Pottery expanded its team of designers to produce not only vases, bowls, and other vessels, but also lamps and architectural tiles. Some of the notable buildings featuring Pewabic tiles, especially brightly colored iridescent examples, and other decoration include: the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC; the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Illinois; Herzstein Hall at Rice University in Houston, Texas; and several public buildings, libraries, schools, churches, performance halls, and fountains in Detroit and throughout Michigan. In 1991, Pewabic Pottery was recognized as a National Historic Landmark and the studio still operates today in a 1907 Tudor Revival home as a non-profit center offering ceramics courses and selling a range of pottery items. Regular exhibits also highlight the important legacy of Pewabic Pottery within the American Arts and Crafts Movement and provide context on the center’s continued influence in the world of ceramics. Pewabic Pottery still actively produces decorative works and architectural tiles for Detroit-area companies and organizations. The collections of the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Smithsonian’s Freer Gallery of Art in Washington DC also include pieces of Pewabic Pottery.

Richard Riemerschmid (German, 1868-1957) A leading figure of the Jugendstil movement in Germany, Richard Riemerschmid was born in Munich in 1868. After graduating from the Wilhelmsgymnasium in 1886 and serving in the army for two years, Riemerschmid studied at the Academy of Fine Arts from 1888 to 1890, studying under Gabriel von Hackl and Ludwig von Löfftz. Riemerschmid started his professional career as an independent painter and architect, occasionally producing advertisements on commission. He also wrote for Jugend, a progressive art magazine highlighting the Art Nouveau movement. Given his insistence that objects be crafted purposefully by hand from simple, natural materials, Riemerschmid’s aesthetics resonated with the English Arts and Crafts Movement. In 1895, he married actress Ida Hofmann, with whom he had four children. Seeking to raise his professional profile, Riemerschmid began designing furniture, serving wares, carpets, wallpapers, and other interior decorations. In 1898, he co-founded the Munich-based Vereinigte Werkstätten für Kunst im Handwerk (‘United Workshops for Art in Craft’). His 1899 furniture designs for a music salon exhibit in Dresden appealed to the public greatly, so mass production of the line followed. While Riemerschmid favored hand assembly, he nonetheless began with machine processing, which suggested a shift toward Modernism. By 1902, Riemerschmid had co-founded the Gartenstad-Gesellschaft (‘Garden City Association’) to promote public garden projects in the Dresden-Hellerau area. In 1907, with Josef Maria Olbrich and Peter Bruckmann, Riemerschmid formed the Deutscher Werkbund (‘German Association of Craftsmen’). From 1912 to 1924, he served as director of Munich’s Kunstgewerbeschule (‘School of Applied Arts’). From 1926 to 1931, he directed and taught at the Kölner Werkschulen (‘Cologne Academy of Fine and Applied Arts’). Late in his career, Riemerschmid wrote books on art education even though the Nazi regime undermined his scholarly efforts. However, he was awarded the Goethe Medal for Art and Science in 1943. Riemerschmid passed away in 1957, but today his designs are found at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Art Institute of Chicago, and other important institutions. Gilbert Rohde (American, 1894-1944) Groundbreaking designer Gilbert Rohde was born in 1894 in New York City, where he lived throughout his life. Rohde graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1913. Further studies included instruction at the Art Students League and the Grand Central School of Art. Initially, Rohde worked as an advertising illustrator. However, tours of Europe in 1927, 1931, and 1937 fueled Rohde’s passion for design and forged his aesthetic philosophy, which combined elements of Bauhaus, French Moderne, and American Streamline Moderne. In 1927, Rohde set up a design office in New York City and began producing furniture and other items for General Electric and the Hudson Motor Car Company. Rohde created an armless leatherette side chair in 1931 using an assembly-line process for the Heywood-Wakefield Company, and over 250,000 chairs sold by the end of the decade. In 1932, Rohde was made director of design for Herman Miller Furniture Company in Zeeland, Michigan by president D.J. De Pree. Rohde’s first design for Herman Miller was the No. 2185 bedroom suite, which was shown at Chicago’s Century of Progress exhibition in 1933. As accolades mounted, Rohde helped found the Designers Institute of the American Furniture Mart in 1933, became director of the Design Laboratory School from 1935 to 1938, and led the industrial design program at the New York University School of Architecture from 1939 to 1943. Rohde also developed exhibits for the New York World’s Fair in 1939. Simultaneously, Rohde produced cutting-edge designs for Herman Miller, including the first biomorphic furniture sold widely in America. In addition to formal innovation, Rohde employed materials that were then uncommon, such as Lucite, Plexiglas, Bakelite, and Fabrikoid, a DuPont leatherette. Wielding his influence at Herman Miller, Rohde convinced the company in 1940 to stop reproducing period furniture in favor of wholly modern designs. In 1942, Rohde unveiled his Executive Office Group line with 137 configurable elements for various business environments. Although Rohde passed away in 1944, his approach continued to influence Herman Miller for years. Rohde’s designs are now sought after by collectors and his work is part of the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The Roycrofters (1895-1915) In 1895, Elbert Hubbard, an Illinois native and socialist-leaning traveling salesman, founded the Roycroft reformist community in East Aurora, New York, just outside of Buffalo. The members of this settlement came to be called Roycrofters. Although the appellation derived from two printers in the group, Samuel and Thomas Roycroft, Hubbard chose it intentionally to connote “King’s Craft.” He wanted to create an updated version of the guilds of early modern Europe with skilled craftspeople of varied expertise. Hubbard had originally devised the concept for the Roycroft community on a visit to England, where he was profoundly influenced by Arts and Crafts pioneer William Morris. Upon returning to America, Hubbard followed Morris’ lead and established the Roycroft Press to release his book-length manuscript, Little Journeys (1916), which is a compilation of imagined visits to the men and women who shaped society over time. Lured by Hubbard’s Arts and Crafts message, various workers gravitated to East Aurora, including not just printers and bookbinders, but furniture makers, leathersmiths, and metalsmiths. The Roycrofters sought to work with their hands, head, and heart in harmony. They mixed play with work to make labor less taxing. By 1910, there were nearly 500 active Roycroft members producing all manner of items. In 1915, Elbert Hubbard and his wife Alice died as passengers aboard the RMS Lusitania, the ocean liner which was sunk by a German torpedo during World War I. This also marked the beginning of the end of the Roycroft community. The Hubbards’ son Bert took over for a while, but despite brokering an agreement for Sears & Roebuck to carry Roycroft furniture, the community soon became insolvent. Today 14 of the original buildings from the Roycroft Campus remain in East Aurora and the group’s impact on American design and craft continues to be felt. In 1986, the Roycroft Campus was designated a National Historic Landmark and educational tours are now regularly offered to visitors.

Gustav Stickley (American, 1858-1942) American Arts and Crafts leader Gustav Stickley was born in 1858 in Osceola, Wisconsin to German immigrant parents. At age 12, he earned his journeyman’s license in stonemasonry; at 17, he began work in his uncle’s chair factory, where he realized that he had a passion and aptitude for woodworking. Eventually, he started his own furniture business with his younger brothers, Charles and Albert. The chairs they created typically mark the origin of the Craftsman Style, also known as Mission or Mission Oak Style. Rather than produce machine-made, ornamental furniture like his contemporaries, Gustav Stickley sought a return to simplicity and handwrought pieces. An 1898 trip to Europe proved pivotal in determining Stickley’s direction. Inspired by the Arts and Crafts ideals of British designer William Morris, Stickley endeavored to create furniture to fulfill a purpose or mission and insisted that products be of high quality, comfortable, and practical. After returning to America, Stickley renamed his firm the Gustav Stickley Company. To promote his craft-centered design ethic and advertise his company’s furniture, Stickley launched a magazine called The Craftsman (1901-1916). Among various topics, Stickley wrote about the Morris chair he made to honor his biggest influence and published articles on building open-concept, light-filled bungalows. With clean, rectangular lines, Stickley furniture displays a sturdy, masculine style favoring oak. Although pieces are often large, their simplicity of design prevents them from appearing too bulky. True examples are usually identified by Stickley’s shopmark, a joiner’s compass with the words “Als ik Kan” (Flemish for “if I can”), and his signature. Some pieces have paper labels that identify Gustav Stickley’s shop, which is not to be confused with that of his brothers Leopold and John George Stickley, who operated their own factory at the same time. Gustav Stickley died in 1942 in Syracuse, New York. During the latter part of the 20th century, his Arts and Crafts furniture became quite popular again, achieving high results at auction and finding a home in the collections of various noteworthy museums. Leopold Stickley (American, 1869-1957) and John George Stickley (American, 1871-1921) The youngest two Stickley brothers, Leopold and John George Stickley were born in Osceola, Wisconsin in 1869 and 1871 respectively. After their father left the family, their mother Barbara moved all 11 of her children to Brandt, Pennsylvania, where her brother Schuyler C. Brandt owned a chair factory. Leopold and John George’s older brother Gustav started working at the factory and later established a furniture factory of his own. In 1899, Leopold Stickley began working as a foreman at Gustav Stickley Company in Eastwood, New York. John George worked with brother Albert at Stickley Brothers Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In 1900, Leopold and John George acquired Collins, Sisson & Pratt Furniture Company in Fayetteville, New York to start their own venture. Unlike Gustav Stickley, who was invested in spreading the Arts and Crafts handmade ethos in America, Leopold and John George were more financially motivated. By 1902, Leopold contracted with Chicago’s Tobey Furniture Company to supply Mission Style designs anonymously. Leopold and John George finally incorporated in 1904 as L. & J.G. Stickley Co., having initially called their operation The Onondaga Shops. Production expanded quickly and they released their Arts and Crafts and Simple Furniture Built on Mission Lines at the Grand Rapids Furniture Exhibition in 1905. Given his prior experience as Gustav Stickley’s foreman, Leopold was able to create Arts and Crafts designs very similar to Gustav’s to appeal to the market. However, Leopold and John George had a much different philosophical approach. They advertised their processes as modern and “scientific,” without “attempt[ing] to follow the traditions of a bygone day.” This enabled them to stay in business while adapting to ever-changing tastes. In 1918, when Gustav Stickley was forced out of business as a result of bankruptcy, Leopold and John George purchased his Craftsman Shops, combining the two leading Mission Style furniture firms. John George died in 1921, but Leopold ran the company until his death in 1957. Alfred Audi acquired L. & J.G. Stickley Co. in 1974 and the company is still in business today. Teco Pottery (1881-1935), Harald Hals (Norwegian, 1876-1959), designer In 1881, lawyer William Day Gates founded the American Terra Cotta Tile and Ceramic Company in Terra Cotta, Illinois, close to Crystal Lake, about 50 miles northwest of Chicago. Along with producing the first architectural terra cotta in America, especially for Prairie School building projects — Frank Lloyd Wright was a customer — Gates also produced various clays and glazes for art pottery. Teco, a contraction of ‘Terra Cotta,’ soon became synonymous with excellence in decorative design. Gates was originally inspired by the ideals of the Arts and Crafts Movement, which began in Britain in the late 19th century. Reacting against increasing mechanization, Arts and Crafts thinkers such as John Ruskin and William Morris championed handcrafted production using the highest quality materials. Although Teco pottery comes in a range of colors, the matte green glaze is the most distinctive and prized of all. Gates eventually turned over control of the company to his son Major. During the Great Depression, there was little demand for architectural terra cotta and Teco pottery. In 1934, George A. Berry Jr. bought the company to focus solely on generating construction elements. William Gates died the following year, but Prairie School terra cotta and Arts and Crafts pottery continue to capture the imagination of ceramic enthusiasts. Pottery makers and collectors alike still cherish Teco for its vibrant colors, rich glazes, and purity of both sculptural and organic design. In addition to making art pottery himself, William Gates employed several skilled designers, including Harald Hals, Fritz Albert, W.B. Mundie, Fernand Moreau, and others, to create innovative forms. Harald Hals in particular was trained as an architect in his native Norway before immigrating to America to act as a designer for Gates; Hals returned to his homeland in 1911 to work as an architect who eventually developed housing projects for the city of Oslo.

Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, 1848-1933) / Tiffany Studios Born in New York City in 1848, Louis Comfort Tiffany was the oldest son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, founder of Tiffany & Co. He was raised in an atmosphere of tremendous wealth and expensive taste during the Gilded Age. Instead of joining his father’s company, Tiffany studied fine arts and worked in many mediums, including furniture, metalwork, textiles, pottery, enamels, jewelry, and book design. In the late 1870s, he became intrigued by the decorative possibilities of glass and used it throughout his career. Tiffany was a notable contributor to the Aesthetic Movement and used biblical and historical sources for inspiration from Asia and the Middle East. Influenced as well by British designer William Morris, Tiffany contributed to the Arts and Crafts Movement. He was critical of painting on glass, which he felt marred the innate prismatic qualities, so he experimented with opalescent finishes and created lava glass as well as his most important innovation, Favrile glass. Tiffany patented this iridescent art glass in 1894 and began manufacture in 1896. Coined by Tiffany, the term Favrile comes from the Latin “fabrilis,” or handmade. From his glass factory in Queens, Tiffany sold Favrile windows, lamps, vases, and mosaics. An impeccable taskmaster, Tiffany would walk down production lines with his cane and shatter any piece of work that he deemed unsuitable. As a proponent of Art Nouveau in America, Tiffany presented the variegated colors and forms of the natural world directly. After World War I, cultural trends moved toward the more minimal, Bauhaus style. With his business income dwindling, lavish lifestyle, and extensive philanthropic efforts, Tiffany declared bankruptcy in 1932. On January 17, 1933, he died in New York City in relative obscurity. In the decades that followed, Tiffany would come to be regarded as a master of the decorative arts. His early glasswork is now part of the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC, Tokyo’s Imperial Museum, and other notable facilities. Tiffany’s stained-glass windows are still found in many of America’s oldest colleges and universities, including Yale, Harvard, and Columbia. Dirk van Erp (Dutch/American, 1862-1933) Widely considered the premier Arts and Crafts coppersmith, Dirk van Erp’s lamps, vases, bowls, and other items have continued to appreciate in value over the past century given their high quality and lasting beauty. Born in Leeuwarden, Netherlands in 1862, van Erp immigrated to the United States in 1890, settling in San Francisco. Soon thereafter, he married Mary Richardson Marino and the couple had a daughter, Agatha, in 1894. After failing to make his fortune during the Klondike Gold Rush in the Canadian Yukon Territory in 1898, van Erp returned to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he gained employment as a coppersmith at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo. In 1901, the van Erp family welcomed a son, William. In his spare time, van Erp started to create vases from shell casings that he obtained at the shipyard. Leaving behind his initial, ornate Victorian style, van Erp transitioned to developing pieces with an unadorned Arts and Crafts appearance. In 1908, van Erp opened the Art Copper Shop and the following year he began an important collaboration with Elizabeth Eleanor D’Arcy Gaw, who had trained at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. While their partnership lasted only a year, van Erp drew significant inspiration from D’Arcy Gaw for his iconic lamp designs and implemented shades with mica panels at her suggestion. Works from this period bear a stamped windmill with the names of van Erp and D’Arcy Gaw beneath. After exhibiting at the 1915 World’s Fair in San Francisco, van Erp largely curtailed his output during World War I to assist with military mobilization. After the war and into the 1920s, van Erp resumed his artistic metalworking practice. On July 18, 1933, van Erp and his wife Mary both died within hours of each other. Their son William kept the Art Copper Shop open until his death in 1977. John Wilde (American, 1919-2006) American surrealist John Wilde was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1919. He studied art at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he met Marshall Glasier whose studio was the center of the Madison art scene. Reacting against the American regionalism of artists like John Steuart Curry, who was then artist-in-residence on campus, Wilde, Glasier, and other young artists developed an unorthodox creative vision. This group also included Karl Priebe, working in Milwaukee, as well as Gertrude Abercrombie in Chicago. Wilde’s biggest academic influence was professor James Watrous, who instilled a deep appreciation for classical techniques and handmade mediums. After Wilde graduated in 1942, he was drafted into the Army to serve in World War II as an artist for the venereal disease program and he also created terrain maps. Disenchanted with this experience, Wilde started a sketchbook that would provide future ideas. In 1946, Wilde returned to the University of Wisconsin–Madison to earn his Master’s degree in art history. Wilde’s thesis was on the surrealist Max Ernst, but he also included a critique of abstract expressionism. Far from conventional, Wilde was a committed representational artist. Since his youth, he had enjoyed drawing the human form, animals, flowers, plants, fruits, and vegetables. Wilde combined the Renaissance ardor for depicting the body with the playful incongruity of surrealist symbols. Wilde’s paintings often feature nudes, mostly female, in fantastic landscapes with emblems of death. He also frequently painted proxies of himself into scenes. Along with painting, Wilde excelled at silverpoint, which he learned from Watrous. In the 1980s and 1990s, Wilde painted a series of Reconsidered works mining his earlier sketchbooks. In addition to being a prolific artist, Wilde taught at the University of Wisconsin–Madison from 1948 to 1982. From 1948 to 1978, the magic realist Aaron Bohrod was artist-in-residence, but he did not teach and Wilde quietly resented Bohrod’s simpler style and commercial appeal. Wilde passed away in 2006 at age 86 in Evansville, Wisconsin. Since Wilde’s death, the demand for his work has steadily increased. Wilde is now included in the collections of prominent institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington DC, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Milwaukee Art Museum, and many others.

Edward Wormley (American, 1907-1995) Born in Oswego, Illinois in 1907, Edward Wormley trained at the Art Institute of Chicago from 1926 to 1928, but then limited funds forced him to work full-time as an interior designer for Marshall Field & Company. In 1930, Wormley visited Paris, where he met Le Corbusier and Art Deco designer Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann. After returning, Wormley designed furniture based on traditional forms with cleaner lines. In 1931, Dunbar Furniture Corporation in Berne, Indiana recruited the 23-year-old Wormley to be its director of design. From 1932 to 1944, Wormley created two collections per year for Dunbar: one consisting of antique furniture reproductions, the other featuring modern designs. As the mid-century modern style grew ascendant, Dunbar discontinued its antique line. Wormley opened his own design studio in New York City in 1945, but he remained a consultant for Dunbar. In 1947, Wormley developed the Precedent collection for Dunbar’s competitor, Drexel. In the 1950s, Wormley worked largely as an independent designer, but he teamed with Dunbar again in 1957 for the Janus collection, which reimagined the Arts and Crafts ethos using a streamlined, updated vocabulary. In particular, Wormley emulated the decor of California architects Charles and Henry Greene and he used tiles from Tiffany Studios to adorn his designs. While not generally celebrated in the same manner as mid-century icons like George Nelson, Charles and Ray Eames, Harry Bertoia, and Eero Saarinen, Wormley’s genius involved harmonizing traditional styles and modern innovations. For several decades, Dunbar continued to produce furniture conceived by Wormley, including his Listen to Me chaise, Téte-â-Téte sofa, and Long John coffee table. In the 1950s, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City honored many of Wormley’s designs and he was cited in a 1961 Playboy magazine profile surveying the leading figures of modernism. Prior to Wormley’s passing in 1995, exhibits featured his work at the Baltimore Museum of Art (1951), the Brooklyn Museum (1958), the San Francisco Museum of Art (1960), the Philadelphia Museum of Art (1983), and elsewhere. Examples of Wormley furniture are now housed at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Museum of Decorative Arts in Montreal, and other important institutions. Frank Lloyd Wright (American, 1867-1959) Frank Lloyd Wright was born on June 8, 1867 in Richland Center, Wisconsin. At age 15, he began studying engineering at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Wright moved to Chicago in 1887 to work for architect Joseph Lyman Silsbee. A year later, he joined the firm of Adler and Sullivan, directly under Louis Sullivan. Wright adapted Sullivan’s philosophy of “form follows function” to his own theory of “form and function are one.” In 1889, Wright married Catherine Lee Tobin, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and the two moved to Oak Park, Illinois, where Wright constructed his own home and studio from 1889 to 1895. By 1900, Wright had built 60 houses in the area in what became known as the Prairie Style. This aesthetic privileged horizontal, asymmetrical structures rising naturally from the environment comprised of straight lines and geometrical patterns. Between 1905 and 1908, Wright also created the distinctive Unity Temple for his local Unitarian parish in Oak Park. Restless and bored with convention, Wright left on an extended European tour with his married mistress Mamah Borthwick Cheney in 1909. Upon their return, they moved to Wright’s ancestral land in Spring Green, Wisconsin, where Wright had built his famed estate, Taliesin. In 1914, disaster struck when a disgruntled male servant started a fire during lunch and killed seven people, including the former Mrs. Cheney and her children. Because Wright favored designing a single door for all purposes, there was no other escape route. Most assumed this would be the end of Wright’s career, but he persevered and rebuilt Taliesin over the next decade. Wright even remarried a woman named Mariam Noel in 1922. During the Great Depression, he became a social visionary and regained his exalted place in the design world. Wright lectured widely and started the Taliesin Fellowship, bringing students to learn with him and work off their debt. In 1937, Wright ventured to the American Southwest to build his winter home and school, Taliesin West, in Scottsdale, Arizona. By the time of Wright’s death at age 92 on April 9, 1959, he had become internationally recognized for his innovative building style. On October 21, 1959, Wright’s bold spiral design for the Guggenheim Museum in New York City was fully realized. Wright is today arguably the most famous American architect and his name is synonymous with great design because of how seamlessly he integrated form and function.

Auctioneers”) acts as agent on behalf of the seller. The seller may not bid on his or her own property. ESTIMATES / RESERVES The price estimates that appear at the end of each lot description are approximations of the range in which the price may fall. Some items are subject to a reserve, the price below which an item cannot be sold. The reserve usually is less than the low estimate.

To register, the following will be required: (i) a form of photo identification, such as a driver’s license, passport, or government-issued identification; and (ii) your address, telephone number, and email address. If you are bidding for another person or entity, you will be required to provide authorization from that person or entity in order to bid on their behalf. Issuance of a bid paddle is in the auction house’s sole discretion. Invoices for all lots sold will be sent to the name and address in which the paddle is registered.
