Peter Alexander The atmospheric phenomena and contemporary art scene of Los Angeles have always been source and inspiration for Light and Space artist Peter Alexander. A surfer since the age of 13, the artist summed up his love of Los Angeles this way: “It had to do with the ocean. It had to do with climate. It had to do with the drive-ins. It had to do with all the aspects of what constitute this a place. Even though I loved being in London and Philadelphia…it never occurred to me to live in any of those places […]. It’s still the same. I don’t want to live anyplace else.” Initially pursuing a degree in architecture, Alexander realized that “architecture wasn’t for me” while working under preeminent modernist architects Richard Neutra and William Pereira. He went on to enroll in the art department at UCLA, where he would graduate with his BA and MFA in 1966.

Several moments in his life coalesced to result in his signature plastic resin sculptures. While preparing his surfboard, he observed clear resin in a cup, and it sparked the idea to explore plastics not for its intended industrial, utilitarian use, but as an art medium. He was also conscious of experiments in plastics by Ferus Gallery artists such as Robert Irwin, and counted contemporary Larry Bell and his inimitable glass cubes among his greatest influences: “I recall what I loved most about it was that somebody would do something. You [Robert Irwin] would do something or Craig Kauffman would do something or Larry [Bell], and I would see it and go ‘wow thats amazing … I bet I can do better.’”

The lots on offer—both acquired directly from the artist at the same time—are among some of Alexander’s earliest cast polyester resin pieces. Alexander relates the geometric qualities of these sculptures and the careful planning they require to his education in architecture. A mold is designed and created, then “the awful sticky, syrupy [resin]…so agonizing to get that stuff on you,” is poured. He discontinued the use of resin for a period of time due to negative health effects from the toxicity of the materials, and it was not until Alexander encountered the less toxic urethane that he continued his

work in this vein. Alexander recounts: “I mean, when I started working in resin, it was plastic. Art was not made out of plastic in those days. Art was made out of all the things that history has said art is made of. So one of the reasons why I liked plastic was that it was sort of anti-art, so to speak.”

The gradient color in Wedge with Puff (1968) reflects and refracts to delightful effect, creating different qualities of light in one object. A bright, clear luster shines through the margins, while a more muted glow emanates from within the puff and its borders. Using a completely novel medium, Alexander continues the exploration of light in the tradition of Johannes Vermeer, considered “the master of light” in the art historical cannon.

Green Sphere (Box) (1967) references Bell’s cubes, though Alexander adds a pale green floating orb within his angular sculpture. Both of these pieces capture the effects of sunlight and water that Alexander observed while surfing.

Alexander asked himself, “How can I put “air” into an art form? How can I replicate a natural occurring thing by using industrial materials?” Alexander’s answer goes beyond just the visual: “…these are not literal translations, they are sensual translations.”

Alexander continues to live and work in Los Angeles. In 2014, he was awarded the California Art Award by the Laguna Art Museum in Laguna Beach, California. The J. Paul Getty Museum featured his work prominently in their landmark initiative of 2011, Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945–1980. Public holdings of his resin works include the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Lloyd Hamrol The sculptor Lloyd Hamrol (b. 1937) came of age in the vibrant, free-wheeling, and highly-charged art world of Los Angeles in the 1960s, as the city established its identity as a major crucible of contemporary art. Through his studio work, Hamrol made a name as a creator of conceptual installations.

Along with Llyn Foulkes and Tony Berlant he was presented with the New Talent Purchase Award by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and was subsequently featured in their 1965 exhibition “Five Younger Los Angeles Artists.” At the same time, Hamrol was active in “situational” art events and installations—ephemeral, provocative, participatory, often political creations and “happenings”—working with fellow artists such as Claes Oldenburg, Mark di Suvero, and Judy Chicago, to whom Hamrol was married from 1969 to 1979.

The present lot, Green Piece (One Up One Down) (c. 1969), is closely related to a work Hamrol showed in his installation, “5 X 9,” originally exhibited in Los Angeles in 1966 at the fabled Rolf Nelson Gallery. Using the basic unit of rectangular laminate-on-wood columns, Hamrol devised five articulated “modules,” which he then configured into nine discrete assemblages, or “sets.” The ensemble, Hamrol wrote when the exhibition was remounted at Cardwell Jimmerson

Contemporary Art in Culver City, CA, in 2010—was intended “to pose certain questions about the nature and definition of sculpture in the form of a user-friendly object …. [E]ach modular set was an embodiment of my idea of indeterminacy (uncertainty); each set could represent the concept, and the narrative could be told through a folding-unfolding game played by the viewer.”

Since the 1970s, Hamrol has worked primarily in the field of public art. His architectural and environmental sculptures— which have been commissioned for sites across the country— include Uptown Rocker in Los Angeles, Gyrojack in Seattle, and Pier Plaza Amphitheater in Huntington Beach, CA. Hamrol’s work is included in the permanent collections of LACMA, the Smithsonian Institute, and the Laguna Art Museum.

De Wain Valentine The plastic sculptures of American Minimalist and California Light and Space artist De Wain Valentine (b. 1936) are notable not only for their luminous appearance, but also for the ground-breaking techniques used in their fabrication. In the 1960s and ‘70s, Valentine teamed with industrial plastics companies to formulate the material capabilities that he required for his poured and cast resin sculptures. According to fellow Light and Space artist Helen Pashgian, “He was a real innovator, willing to take risks with a new material. Most of these resins [then-available] were designed to be poured in very thin layers. That’s why De Wain had to develop his own resin.” Working with Hastings Plastics in Santa Monica, Valentine successfully created a new formula in 1966, which was commercially available under the registered trademark “Valentine MasKast Resin” by 1970. MasKast Resin had the capacity to be poured into molds, and resulted in sculptures far beyond the 50-pound limit that had been in place. Prior to the creation of Valentine MasKast, molded resin sculptures weighing more than 50 pounds had a tendency to crack when curing. Using his new resin, Valentine was able to create sculptures that ranged from hundreds to thousands of pounds in weight. After unmolding the sculptures, every inch of the surfaces had to be sanded and polished.

Looking back, Valentine says, “I’m glad I did it when I was young. I thought I was going to live forever and could do anything.”

Born, raised, and educated in Colorado, Valentine grew up with an appreciation for materials and industrial processes.

He spent time with his uncles scavenging for copper and iron ore, and worked in a boat shop, where he first cultivated an interest in plastics. Lured by the fledgling but burgeoning 1960s Los Angeles art scene, Valentine moved to the city

in 1965. He quickly established his presence—he procured a studio next to Larry Bell in Venice, and secured a teaching position at UCLA in plastics technology.

Speaking of his motivations and inspiration, Valentine swoons: “In Colorado, I had a love affair with the sky and the clouds and the mountains. You didn’t see the air in Colorado.

It was just crystal. When I moved to California, the smog became a substance. The quality of the light had a body to it that was just thrilling.”

Blue Slab (1970) and Top (1969) are prime examples of the possibilities of Valentine’s ability to make tangible the phenomena observed in the California sea, sky, and sun in cast plastic sculptures. Both pieces were acquired directly from the artist and come from the original owner. Top is comprised of polished, smooth curves. The slender points of the top are almost translucent, refracting and reflecting light, while the body approaches opacity and seems to absorb light. Blue Slab, in deep cerulean-colored resin, demonstrates the influence of the California landscape and coastline upon Valentine’s work. With its sleek, elongated wedge form, the piece is an important precursor to Valentine’s 1975 sculpture, Gray Column (1975–76), which was shown at the Getty Museum as part of Pacific Standard Time: Art in LA 1945–1980 in 2011–2012. Other examples of Valentine’s work can be found in institutions across the nation, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; and the Laguna Art Museum.

Ron Davis California artist Ron Davis (b. 1937) explores geometric shapes and the illusions of visual perspective using the new techniques and materials that came to be popular in Los Angeles via the thriving aerospace and plastics industries.

Davis was born in Santa Monica and grew up in Wyoming, and returned to California to attend the San Francisco Art Institute in the 1960s. He was initially interested in Abstract Expressionism, but his move to Los Angeles in 1964 had a profound impact upon his work. He abandoned traditional painting and began to work with shaped canvases, colored plastic resins, and fiberglass, creating colorful, geometric artworks that played upon dimensionality and flatness, color, and visual perspective. The artist explains: “My work is comprised of aggressively decorative, meaningless, unidentified floating objects that pretend to be rational. Illusion is my vehicle. Opticality is paramount. Struggling to gain a fingerhold in the formidable tradition of abstract painting, I attempted a synthesis between the ‘minimal object,’ Pop … and traditional, emotion-driven expressionist painting.”

Ironically, Davis’s avant-garde, highly material, and experimental work maintains the same concerns of color, space, volume, and perspective as in traditional painting. Davis connects his work to the history of art by saying: “If I’ve made any contribution at all, it is that counter to the glacial movement of serious twentieth century painting since Cézanne toward flatness, I’ve reintroduced the theorems of three-dimensional, mathematical perspective into my made objects; my constructions. This is my legacy; my contribution to the art history books.”

In 1968, Davis was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. His work is held in public collections including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Tate Gallery; and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Shahzia Sikander Shahzia Sikander (b. 1969) has proven herself to be one of the most vibrant, engaging, and multifaceted talents in contemporary art. The Pakistani-born artist—an American resident since the early 1990s—embraces many disciplines: painting, drawing, murals, digital animation, installations, videos, and performance art. A consistent theme in her work is an examination of culture—and cultural identity— when it is set in a new context of time and place. Richly layered with imagery and dense with symbols, her 1997 watercolor, Multiple Bearings, is an archetypal example of the resonant style that marks Sikander’s artistry, and marked the artist’s entry into the highest echelons of the art world.

Multiple Bearings was created in the early phase of Sikander’s career, and shown in solo exhibitions at Deitch Projects (1997), the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago (1998), and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (1999–2000), giving her work its widest public exposure to date. The shows were revelatory. Curator Valerie Fletcher wrote in the Hirshhorn exhibition brochure: “Shahzia Sikan-

der’s art is about complexity, contradiction, and synthesis— about past and present, Asia and America, self and society, reality and perception. Bringing together elements from diverse sources, she devises enigmatic images that reflect her own experiences and serve as the visual equivalents of mixed metaphors.”

As with much of the work in Sikander’s oeuvre, Multiple Bearings is grounded in her study of Indo-Persian miniature painting, an ancient format requiring immense technical skill and attention to detail. Sikander’s work transforms the narrative tradition of the genre by superimposing translucent image upon image, creating juxtapositions and ambiguities.

In Multiple Bearings, layered representations and iconographic gestures hint at the tensions between traditional values and contemporary life, dreams and reality, the individual and the culture at large.

Mary Corse An under-recognized figure in the male-dominated Light and Space movement of the 1960s, Mary Corse (b. 1945) developed entirely new methods to capture fluctuating light, changing visual perception, and dynamic surfaces.

Born in Berkeley, California, Corse enrolled at the famed Chouinard Art Institute in the mid-1960s, alma mater of other Light and Space artists including Larry Bell and Robert Irwin, though she claims, “At the time, I was not part of this group nor was I influenced by their work.” In 1968, after working on a series that housed fluorescent lightbulbs in Plexiglas cases, Corse mixed small glass beads, “microspheres,” directly into the paint before brushing it onto the prepared canvas. This technique achieved a unique prism-like effect. Corse explains: “…my paintings are not reflective! […] They create a prism that brings the surface into view. I like that because it brings the viewer into the light as well.”

Corse “brings the viewer into the light” in Untitled (White, Black, Blue Double Arch) (2000) by using the dramatic contrast of light and dark and its subsequent push and pull.

The deep blue and black fields of color act as doorways into recessive space, while the white, glassy, prismatic boundary creates the perception of floating and light. In Corse’s paintings, the light is as much a tool as are the canvas, the paint, or the paintbrush: “For me painting has never been about the paint, but what the painting does. I didn’t want to make a picture of light; I wanted to put the actual light in the painting…”

In 2012, Corse unveiled a new body of work at Lehmann Maupin Gallery in New York. Her work can be found in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; MOCA, Los Angeles; the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; and the Guggenheim Museum, New York.

Reverend Ethan Acres Alabama-born, Las Vegas-based artist Reverend Ethan Acres (b. 1970) creates scripture-based performances and mixed-media sculpture that shock and surprise with their sensationalism, whimsy, kitsch, and ostentation. Acres received his MFA from the University of Nevada and an honorary doctorate of divinity from the online, mail-order World Christianship Ministries in Fresno, California, and he is fond of saying that he puts the “fun back in fundamentalism.”

Camel Passing Through the Eye of a Needle (1997) appears to be a folksy wall hanging—it looks like something a crafty grandmother might crochet, with the exception of the tongue-in-cheek humor. The work plays off of a verse from The King James Bible: “And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God” (Matthew 19:24). Acres interprets the metaphor

literally, as the knit camel slowly unravels to physically pass through the eye of the needle, one stitch at a time. A sense of sincerity surrounds the work—perhaps a message of inclusion for the wealthy who would be refused admission to heaven—until one notices the large and unmistakably human genitalia on the lower regions of the camel. Like his work, Acres is hard to pin down. His sincerity, or perhaps lack thereof, is always in question.

And, as he keeps audiences guessing, he also continues to draw attention to his art and to his church. Acres’ work can be found in public collections including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Fisher Museum at the University of Southern California, and the San Jose Museum of Art.

Jim Shaw The art of Jim Shaw (b. 1952) is distilled from the flotsam and jetsam of a quintessential boyhood, the ephemera of American pop, social, and consumer culture. Chameleonic in style and skilled in mediums ranging from drawing and painting to sculpture and video, Shaw—like the late Mike Kelley, Shaw’s longtime friend, fellow CalArts graduate, and band-mate in “anti-rock” group Destroy All Monsters—creates work that is dense with references and allusive images. Shaw mines both his memory and an astonishing trove of pedestrian artifacts—comic books, news clippings, “Rat Fink” trading cards, obsessive religious tracts, film and concert posters, advertising—that he has amassed since his youth. From this material, Shaw crafts units of narrative that are sometimes discrete, but more frequently serve as paragraphs and chapters in an epic of existence. Shaw “creates a munificent bounty of things that rivet us,” the critic and artist Doug Harvey has written. His work embodies “a conscious and conscientious willingness to engage contemporary culture in all its rippling, crackling, exponentially expanding and incomprehensible totality.”

The present lots show Shaw at both his pithiest and most expansive. Untitled (“Burma-Shave/Torture is Barbaric…”) (c. 1988) appropriates a Charles Addams cartoon to present a self-contained narrative that imparts a political and humanistic message. Objects of Desire (1989) is at once a discrete artwork and a piece in a larger narrative titled “My Mirage,” a kaleidoscopic, multimedia Bildungsroman that Shaw executed from 1986 to 1991. Comprised of some 170 works—drawings, photographs, paintings, silkscreens, video—“My Mirage” documents the story of Shaw’s alterego, Billy, a middle-class, middle-American kid tossed about in the cultural maelstrom of the ‘60s and ‘70s. With its intricately and exuberantly-rendered vortex of pop iconography and consumer goods that range from cake mix and candy to Band-Aids and liquor bottles, Objects of Desire is a rare, if not unique thing: a tour-de-force within a tour-de-force.

Tejo Remy Designed in 1991, Tejo Remy’s You Can’t Lay Down Your Memory chest of drawers occupies a place at the margin between art and design: it is at once functional and sculptural. The piece debuted to great acclaim at the 1993 Milan Furniture Fair, as part of the inaugural collection by the famed conceptualist Dutch group Droog Design, and quickly became an emblem of avant-garde contemporary furniture-making.

You Can’t Lay Down Your Memory is made up of 20 mismatched salvaged drawers, housed in custom-made maple sleeves that are bound together with a woven jute strap. The present lot is No. 55 from the original edition of 200 chests.

Examples from this edition feature in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Carnegie Museum of Art, and other institutions.

For all its aesthetic brio and air of mirth, You Can’t Lay Down Your Memory has been closely examined by curators, scholars, and other design experts, who have variously interpreted Remy’s work as a manifestation of social, political, and environmentalist commentary. Tejo Remy spoke with Los Angeles Modern Auctions about his much-discussed design: Los Angeles Modern Auctions: What was the origin of the name, or title, you gave to the chest of drawers?

Tejo Remy: It’s a line from a song by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. [“Knockin’ on Joe,” a track on the 1985 album The Firstborn is Dead.]

LAMA: What’s the significance?

TR: One of the ways I look at the chest is that it’s a metaphor for the human memory system. Socrates and the other ancient Greek and Roman philosophers had a technique they used to remember things. In their minds, they constructed a house, and in each of its rooms they put away special memories so they always knew where to find them. The drawers of the chest are like the rooms. You have a certain drawer for certain things, so you always recollect where they are.

LAMA: You’ve also mentioned Robinson Crusoe when you speak about the chest.

TR: Yes, that’s another one of my thoughts about the piece.

The character Robinson Crusoe had to build his own paradise, his own world, from the things he found after he was shipwrecked. I feel that in our world we also have to use the

materials we find in our neighborhood—we should make do with what we have.

LAMA: A great deal of meaning has been invested in the design by others. For instance, the Museum of Modern Art’s collection notes on the chest put it in this context: “In the hangover after the exuberance and excess of the 1980s, designers all over the world turned to a new value system based on economy, simplicity, and responsibility.” What do you think of that view?

TR: In a way the design was a reaction, in the same sense that the colorful postmodern work of the Memphis Group was a reaction to how lifeless and stale modernist design had become by the ‘70s. And certainly by the early ‘90s we designers were very aware that the world was using up its resources. But I’m not sure how economical the chest is—a lot of labor goes into making one.

LAMA: Do owners ever reassemble the drawers in a new way?

TR: I hope they do! A chance to be creative gives the piece another kind of value. We would send the chest to buyers with the drawers disassembled, along with the strap and a photo of how that particular chest looked when we put it together in the studio. But people can do what they want. I once saw a picture of one that the owners had tried to put in a bathroom. They couldn’t get the strap to hold everything together, so they just stacked the drawers against a wall. You really do need three people to assemble one.

LAMA: Even now, nearly 25 years after it debuted, the You Can’t Lay Down Your Memory chest has a kind of power.

When people see one—whether they are familiar with the design, or have never seen the piece before—they stop in their tracks.

TR: That’s something that you never expect to happen—and it’s such a pleasant surprise to see that effect. Maybe the piece was simply conceived and made at just the right moment, I don’t know. But you never expect to design an icon.

The School of Paris “The School of Paris” does not indicate a singular style, but rather an outstanding era in history, wherein Paris became the epicenter of artistic dialogue and creative activity.

Styles and mediums were varied, spanning Fauvism, Futurism, Cubism, Expressionism, and Symbolism across categories of painting and sculpture, but what tied these artists together was the continual, free-flowing exchange and application of ideas.

Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) moved to Paris in 1904 at the age of 23, leading the influx of foreign artists immigrating to the cosmopolitan and avant-garde City of Lights, which would include Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani, Russian artist Marc Chagall, and Tokyo-born Léonard-Tsuguharu Foujita, among many others. This was roughly the beginning of a period in history and a loose affiliation of artists that would come to be known as the School of Paris, taking a cue from French art critic André Warnod, who stated confidently in 1925: “L’Ecole de Paris exists.” Between 1900 and 1940, the diversity of identities and ideas in the Paris art world encouraged an invigorating environment of expression and experimentation. The label ‘School of Paris’ indicated immediate geography as well as a renewed nationalism rooted in an artistic, creative rebirth. As Chagall poignantly proclaimed in 1925: “I was born in Vitebsk, but I was also born in Paris.” The last wave of artists affiliated with the School of Paris, often termed “the Internationals” for their diverse nationalities, included Jun Dobashi, Bernard Dufour, Antoni Clavé, and Massimo Campigli.

Antoni Clavé (1913–2005) moved to Paris from Barcelona after the Spanish Civil War in 1939, met Picasso in 1944, and worked as a designer for the opera and the ballet from 1946– 1954. The painting on offer was created shortly after Clavé left set design to concentrate solely on painting. Entitled Nature Morte Pastèque Blanche (1955), which translates to “White Watermelon Still Life,” the work is a prime example of the multiple influences and innovative mix of aesthetics and styles that the School of Paris fostered. The imagery has the flatness of Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard, as well

as a slight nod to the cubist still-lifes of Georges Braque and Picasso. The white watermelon radiates against the backdrop of deep scarlet, while a mysterious shape evoking a fish skeleton is a variation on the traditional skull in memento mori still-lifes.

Picasso was also a major influence upon Italian artist Massimo Campigli (1895–1971), a resident of Paris from 1919–1933.

In addition, Campigli was immensely impacted by his viewing of ancient Etruscan frescoes while visiting Rome in 1928.

Untitled (Figures) (1960) is an exceptional example of the artist’s mature style and his use of flat, totemic figures, a diluted color palette (in mimicry of faded frescoes), and the female form as subject.

Abstract painter and lithographer Jun Dobashi (1910–1975) was born in Tokyo and lived in Paris from 1953–1969. His work, as well as that of French painter Bernard Dufour (b.

1922), is closely related to Art Informel, a close cousin to the Abstract Expressionist movement in the United States. As a reaction against the dominant Cubist tradition, Art Informel touted intuition and spontaneity, and, as in the work of Dobashi and Dufour, resulted in lyrical canvases swathed in velvety paint strokes. Indeed, the style is at times referred to as Lyrical Abstraction.

The American interest in the global character of the School of Paris took hold early on. In 1959, the Museum of Modern Art drew up a press release announcing itself as having “the finest collection of the School of Paris outside of France.”

More recently, the Solomon R. Guggenheim mounted Paris and the Avant-Garde, with a focus on the School of Paris, as part of a spate of exhibitions celebrating the museum’s 50th anniversary in 2010.

Allan McCollum Employing repetitive production methods to create artworks made up of serial components and multiples, Allan McCollum (b. 1944) explores ideas surrounding the aura and the hand of the artist, and the sanctity placed upon singular, unique works of art. Applied to a larger context, McCollum seeks to understand and perhaps disrupt the values that society places upon objects of all types, from ordinary household items to the hallowed artwork.

In an interview with PBS’s ART21, McCollum summed up his artistic concerns: “I was interested in how a painting wound up in a gallery or museum and all of the social aspects that determine the way we value things. I was interested in the structure of a couch, a table, a lamp or a potted plant as well as the painting. I was interested in how we define ourselves through artworks and also through other things like antiques or fossils or emblems that represent our city or state or country. It all goes back to an interest in cultural structure.”

In 1985, the artist began his “Perfect Vehicle” series—the title refers to the phenomena of inanimate objects becoming symbols for a person’s or a culture’s intangible values.

Five Perfect Vehicles (1986) is comprised of sculptures in the traditional shape of the Chinese ginger pot, a form that has been produced over and over again throughout history, both by artisans and in mass-production. However, McCollum’s versions are nonfunctioning, and only operate as vessels in the metaphorical sense. As with many of his projects, McCollum uses assembly-line methods, enlisting laborers, assistants, and other craftspeople to confuse or problematize

Harry Bertoia Sculptor, graphic artist, painter, metalsmith, and furniture and jewelry designer Harry Bertoia (1915–1978) was one of the great multidisciplinary talents of 20th century art and design, and a central figure in American modernism. As an artist, Bertoia’s style and technique were his, and his alone.

Bertoia’s metal sculptures are by turns expressive and austere, powerful and subtle, intimate in scale and monumental.

But all embody a tension between the delicacy, intricacy, and precision of Bertoia’s forms and the raw aesthetic and substantive strength of his materials: steel, brass, bronze, and beryllium copper. The sculptures offered in this sale exemplify Bertoia’s genius for abstracted representations of nature, a core theme in his work. These sculptures—one as dense as a thicket of brambles; another suggesting a copse of trees—are the products of an artistic career in full flower.

Bertoia’s was a career that was in many ways charmed: for a man of quiet, unassuming character, he had an uncanny knack for being at the heart of the action in the worlds of art and design. Born in northeastern Italy, Bertoia immigrated to the United States at age 15, joining an older brother in Detroit. Even with his halting English, Bertoia’s gifts were noted early on at Cass Technical High School. Recognition led to awards that culminated, in 1937, in a teaching scholarship to attend the Cranbrook Academy of Art in suburban Bloomfield Hills, MI. At Cranbrook—one of the great crucibles of modernism in America—Bertoia formed friendships with architect Eero Saarinen, designers Charles and Ray Eames and Florence Knoll, and others that would shape the course of his life. In 1943, he left the school to work in California with the Eameses, helping them develop their now-famed plywood furniture. Late in that decade, Florence and husband Hans Knoll persuaded him to move east and join their furniture company, Knoll Inc. Bertoia’s wire-lattice “Diamond” chair, released in 1952, and its variants became, and remain, perennial best-sellers. Royalties allowed Bertoia to devote himself full-time to sculpture.

Bertoia began sculpting in earnest in 1947. He had learned metalworking in high school, and taught a class in the discipline at Cranbrook. When wartime restrictions limited

the availability of metals, Bertoia focused on jewelry design.

While in California, he mastered precision welding, allowing him to explore metal artwork in larger scale. As he began to garner commissions for architectural sculptures in the early 1950s—the first came via Saarinen—Bertoia refined his aesthetic vocabulary. In a sense, as much as metal, air became Bertoia’s primary material. His “sounding sculptures”—gongs and “Sonambient” groupings of rods that strike together and chime when touched by hand or by the wind—literally resonate. Bertoia’s naturalistic works—sculptures that suggest bushes, flower petals, leaves, dandelions, sprays of grasses— derive their power from the arrangement of space between structural elements.

The thee works presented here manifest the latter Bertoia genre at its best. Commissioned by Florence Knoll for her design for the lobby of the First National Bank of Miami, Sculpture Screen is a 1959 work, one of ten 11-foot tall screens of melt-coated brass over steel panels. A 1960 review in Domus, the renowned Italian architecture and design magazine founded by Gio Ponti, described them as “abstracted trees with leaves of golden money.” The screens obtain their aesthetic force not only from their size but also from their placement together: they form an environment; a kind of indoor forest. Lot 202, a sculpture composed of steel music wire, brass, and bronze, was purchased by its owner directly from the piece’s exhibition in 1961 at New York’s Staempfli Gallery— a progressive venue that showed Brâncuši and Tinguely, and was the home gallery to Bertoia, Elmer Bischoff, Joan Brown, Paul Delvaux, and George Rickey. The piece is a tour de force: an initial impression of hectic, even manic, energy gives way to a realization of the meticulous, precise, and painstaking spatial composition of the piece. This is not chaos—it is a representation of the ordered complexity of all things.

Joel Otterson Los Angeles contemporary artist Joel Otterson (b. 1959) is a maker in the old tradition, working with copper pipe, pottery, earthenware, concrete, marble, stained glass, quilting, lacemaking, and woodworking, but his ironic arrangements and pithily titled pieces are wholly au courant. A Los Angeles native, Otterson enrolled in Parsons School of Design in New York City in 1977 and went on to live in the city for over 20 years. In 1987, he was selected for a solo exhibition in the Projects Room of the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Otterson says of his work: “My work is loud, and I want it to yell at people.”

In this boisterous example, American Portable Pottery Museum (Wall of China) (1994), the artist makes a wry and pointed comment on current global manufacturing practices—namely, that China is the primary trading partner of the United States

in manufactured goods. Every facet of the behemoth work, measuring almost 8-feet in height, conveys a message. The structure of the sculpture is a complicated lattice of copper tubing—China is the second-largest miner and producer of copper in the world. Pieces of found pottery populate the frame, bringing up the material history of earthenware in the United States and, by association, the long and complex history of porcelain in China.

Two pieces by Otterson were prominently featured in the 2014 Whitney Biennial. Otterson’s work is in the permanent collections of the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Broad Foundation, the Israel Museum, and other institutions.

Paul Frankl As both a furniture designer and author, Paul T. Frankl (1886– 1958) had a powerful influence shaping the unique identity of American modernist design in the early 20th century. Stylish and astute, Frankl won a broad group of admirers, who ranged from Frank Lloyd Wright to a host of Hollywood stars, and a keynote of Frankl’s talent was the degree to which he absorbed aesthetic cues from his surroundings. As he wrote in his 1928 book New Dimensions: The Decorative Arts of Today in Words and Pictures: “The art of today must be created today. It must express the life about us. It must reflect the main characteristics and earmarks of our own complex civilization.”

Few designers have been as attuned as Frankl to the forms and materials in their environment.

Born in Vienna, Frankl trained in architecture there and in Berlin before moving to New York in 1914. He designed interiors and theatre sets, and opened a gallery selling furniture designed by himself and others. Frankl’s first great design success came with his “Skyscraper Furniture” line, first issued in 1925 and characterized by tall cabinets with staggered shelves meant to mimic the jagged setbacks of Manhattan office towers. In a few years, as buildings in the “Streamline Moderne” style rose, Frankl introduced his “Speed” club chairs and sofas – pieces with raked profiles suggesting forward motion.

In 1934, Frankl moved to Los Angeles, where he would live out the rest of his life. Taken by the climate, scenery, and the casual pace of life, he pronounced it “heaven,” a perfect antidote to the “the mad rush, high tension and fierce pressure” he experienced in New York. Upon his move, Frankl’s entire approach to design changed. His furniture became lighter, simpler, and inflected by Asian design forms. His work attracted clients such as Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Fred Astaire, and, Frankl biographer Christopher Long maintains, prompted a trend to brighter, airy movie set decoration within the film industry. Most tellingly, Frankl embraced natural materials: texture-rich upholstery like hide and nubby wool; “combed” wood panels with raised striations; chair and sofa frames made of rattan; and cork finished with beeswax, which featured in the line of tables and consoles designed, beginning in the late 1940s, for the Johnson Furniture Company. These fresh, elegant designs are, perhaps, a testament not only to Frankl’s talents, but also to the transformative power of Southern California.

Bruce Conner Actor, director, and artist, Dennis Hopper, once said: “In my opinion, Bruce Conner is the most important artist of the 20th century.” One of the more elusive artists of the latter 20th century, Conner (1933–2008) defied categorization.

Driven by a questing intelligence, Conner embraced art forms ranging from sculptural assemblage to drawing, collage, and photography. He is best-known and appreciated for his complex and affecting experimental films—a medium he began to explore in the late 1950s. Conner’s quick-paced, montage-laden cinematic works have won a place in both film history and in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art and other institutions. To other Conner fans—who point to an early film, Cosmic Ray (1961), featuring the music of Ray Charles, and later collaborations with altrock icons such as David Byrne and the band Devo—he is the father of the music video.

The experience of art was central to Conner’s work. The present lot—a group of eight hand-painted photographic slides— has its origin in a unique moment in Conner’s career, when he was given an opportunity to bring his diverse talents to bear on a single project. In 1967, while living in San Francisco, Con-

ner signed on with the North American Ibis Alchemical Light Show, a performance group founded by Ben Van Meter, a fellow experimental filmmaker. The group presented psychedelic light shows in tandem with music concerts, aiming to create events that offered a total immersive sensory experience. For more than three months in that year of the city’s “Summer of Love,” Conner, Van Meter, and their colleagues worked their magic at the Avalon Ballroom, the famed music hall that was home to such legendary acts as The Doors and The Grateful Dead. These slides—acquired directly from Conner by Van Meter—were used to flash visuals on screens mounted all around the hall.

Conner was deeply gratified by the shows. “It was like a vast collaboration between the musicians and the light show…

[T]he people who were there, the audience or people in the Avalon Ballroom, were also affecting what was happening just by their response,” he later told an interviewer from the Smithsonian Institution. “It more or less culminated all my work with motion pictures.”

The imagery on the slides is Conner’s personal interpretation of the mandala, the spiritual symbol in Buddhism and Hinduism that represents the universe. Works by Conner employing his leitmotif can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Utilizing different media, Conner not only printed his varied mandala images onto each acetate slide, but also delicately hand-colored each one. In doing so, Conner transformed these works into unique collages. When projected in different venues, the space in which they are shown makes each viewing a unique experience, akin to a “happening,” that cannot be reproduced.

These hand-colored slides offer a unique means of engagement with art beyond the static artwork, and manifest an art of experience—one that, depending on when, where, and with whom these art slides are projected, constantly changes, evolves and reveals new meanings and associations.

Leon Golub American figurative and humanist painter Leon Golub’s (1922–2004) affecting, political canvases ponder the role of man and the state of humanity by portraying contemporary events in a fusion of styles, such as pre-Columbian and African art, classical Greek and Roman sculpture, and the history painting of Jacques-Louis David. Graduating with an MFA in 1950 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in his native city, Golub shunned the prevailing style of postwar Abstract Expressionism, denigrating it as being “non-referential and diffuse.” He opted instead for the expressionistic, figurative style practiced by other American artists of the period, including Bay Area Figurative movement leaders such as Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, and Ben Shahn.

Head IX (1958) is an iconic work from Golub’s oeuvre of the 1950s and 60s. The blurred male visage has a receding hairline and round face, characteristics common to historical figures ranging from Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, to Communist leader Mao Zedong, to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger—all personalities that would eventually be

part of the artist’s 1970s series of portraits of world leaders.

In answer to a 1966 query regarding the subjects of his head paintings during this period, Golub responded: “Who am I painting? I’m painting the citizens, you see. I am painting the citizens of our society but I am painting them in an irrational frenzy because part of our society has been ‘Buchenwald’ [a Nazi concentration camp].” The painting collapses the roles of attacker and attacked into one entity, placing mankind as the victim of its own violence and injustices. With their political and historical nature, it is no surprise that Golub’s paintings have entered the collections of important international institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Tate Gallery; and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.

Roger Brown American sculptor, painter, and collector Roger Brown (1941–1997) was a defining figure in the postwar Chicago art scene, though the range of his influences and artistic impact were national. Brown was raised in Alabama, and lived and worked in places as diverse as Chicago, the town of New Buffalo, Michigan, and the village La Conchita near Ventura, California. While attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Brown was introduced to the work of Georgia O’Keeffe, Edward Hopper, and René Magritte—artists whose influences are discernable in Brown’s vibrant, clear, figural work. During this time, Brown formed a deep admiration for self-taught artists including Henri Rousseau, and Brown became an avid and esteemed collector of folk art and Outsider Art. In the early 1960s, Brown was a leading member of a cadre of fantastical-figurative Chicago painters who styled themselves “The Hairy Who”—a playful moniker meant to mock the self-importance of the art world. Members of the group and associated artists working in the city at the time are now best known as the Chicago Imagists.

Brown’s masterful diptych of 1975, Just Around the Corner (Part I & Part II), epitomizes his idiomatic style. The piece depicts a mountainous road passing under the shadow of a group of buildings. The windows of the dwellings reveal silhouettes of people interacting—talking, holding hands, or otherwise reaching out to each other. The imagery suggests all manner of human exchange, while also referencing industrialization and municipal developments like Chicago’s ailing housing projects. In this work, Brown also explores ideas of perspective and dimensionality: the canvases are

meant to be installed in a corner of a room, to immerse the viewer in its setting. A letter from Phyllis Kind Gallery in 1982 notes that “this is the only painting to date in which [Brown] utilizes two panels and a corner format.”

In 1971, Phyllis Kind gave Brown his first solo show, and the gallery would go on to represent the artist throughout his career. In 1987, Brown was featured in a retrospective at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. His work received widespread exposure in the 1990s through his two cover illustrations for Time magazine, and the 54-foot-long mosaic mural he created for the NBC Tower in Chicago. At his death, Brown bequeathed his three homes and their contents to the Art Institute of Chicago, and they are now administered as educational facilities that include the Roger Brown Study Collection in Chicago. The artist was posthumously inducted into the city’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Hall of Fame in 2004.

Brown’s career is being further examined in current research projects that will lead to a planned series of 2018 exhibitions on Midwestern art organized by Chicago’s Terra Foundation of American Art—a program that will be the regional equivalent of the Getty Foundation’s “Pacific Standard Time” initiative.

Oskar Fischinger A champion of abstract artistic expression, filmmaker and painter Oskar Fischinger (1900–1967) was one of the great creative spirits of the 20th century and a pioneer of multimedia artistry. Fischinger’s work is often and admiringly compared to that of Wassily Kandinsky in his use of color and geometric forms. Among dedicated cineastes, Fischinger is revered for the avant-garde, abstract, animated motion pictures he began making in his native Germany in the 1920s, and continued in Hollywood after his move there in 1936. Using techniques as basic as stop-motion filming, and tools as simple as paper cut-outs hung on invisible wires, Fischinger produced an astonishing array of visual effects: brightly-colored circles, spirals, rectangles and polygons swoop, spin, dance, rush forward then recede to infinity.

In the fine art world, Fischinger is admired for the stylistic dexterity of oil paintings that explore human perception and, as the art critic Esther Leslie wrote of Fischinger’s work, “a consciousness of space that is not geographical but graphic and time as non-linear and convoluted.”

Fischinger began painting soon after his move to the United States. It was a natural adjunct to his work in film, and later a necessary creative outlet. Fischinger’s career in animation was repeatedly vexed. The Nazi regime that came to power in 1933 censored his work, deeming it—as they did

all abstraction—“degenerate art.” In Hollywood, Fischinger continually chafed under studio budgetary and creative restrictions. (He walked off the set of Fantasia in 1939 when Disney animators watered-down his abstract sequence for Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by adding a background of moving clouds and other figurative images.) But when painting, Fischinger could give his creativity free rein.

In his notes for a 1956 solo exhibition of his work at the Pasadena Art Museum—the pointillist Flower, (Lot 305), was among the works on display—Fischinger wrote that an artist must create “sentence after sentence of moving, developing visual images changing and changing, in continuously different ways.” The present lots—like the work of the artist in the collections of the Guggenheim Museum, the Smithsonian, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and other institutions—demonstrate the breadth of technical versatility he achieved, and the depth to which Fischinger’s work challenges our apprehension of space, time and motion.
