FINE PRINTS AND CONTEMPORARY ART FROM THE COLLECTION OF

ANN AND PAUL ARENBERG Hindman is proud to offer Fine Prints and Contemporary Art from the Collection of Ann and Paul Arenberg for sale at auction. The collection has been curated over time and across generations. Paul’s parents, Frances and Milton Arenberg, were collectors and passed on their love for modern art to Ann and Paul. The collection includes significant sculptural examples from artists Harry Bertoia and Barbara Hepworth, and highlights important prints from Richard Diebenkorn, Wayne Thiebaud, Roy Lichtenstein, Alex Katz, and Helen Frankenthaler. The Bertoia and Hepworth sculptures, among others, were part of Frances and Milton’s collection, and have been in the family for more than half a century. Ann and Paul Arenberg were born and raised in Highland Park, Illinois. They attended the same high school, but it wasn’t until Ann was at Wellesley College, and Paul at Dartmouth College, that they began to date. They returned home to the northern suburb of Chicago to get married, and lived there until they moved with their four children to St. Louis, Missouri in 1965. Ann and Paul were deeply involved in the arts and philanthropic communities in St. Louis. Their enthusiastic support benefited the St. Louis Art Museum, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, the Cancer Support Community of Greater St. Louis, the Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis, the Central Institute for the Deaf, and many other organizations. Ann and Paul are remembered for their generosity to the community, and for their devotion to their family. Contemporary Art from the Collection of Ann and Paul Arenberg will be offered for sale at auction at 10:00 a.m. and the Fine Prints at 2:00 p.m. on May 22, 2019.

5* Harry Bertoia

Early Wire Construction

(AMERICAN, 1915-1978)

Untitled open squares, cut nails and brass 68 1/2 x 25 x 15 inches. Property from the Collection of Ann and Paul Arenberg, St. Louis, Missouri Provenance: Fairweather Hardin Gallery, Chicago Acquired from the above in 1957 Exhibited: Chicago, Illinois, Fairweather Hardin Gallery, 1956 This work is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity issued by the Harry Bertoia Foundation $100,000-150,000

This wire construction offering of cut nails and squares by Harry Bertoia is a fine example of some of his earliest sculptural work. The square and wire theme ran in the artist’s oeuvre all through the 1950s and even into the 1960s. When the artist worked for Knoll from 1950 – 1952, Hans and Shu Knoll encouraged him to display his early sculptures along with the chairs in the showrooms. Eero Saarinen, a former Cranbrook pal and budding architect, saw Bertoia’s wire screens at Knoll and hired him for his first monumental architectural commission. The large scale screen at the General Motors Technical Center, Warren, Michigan, 1953, was somewhat similar to this smaller scaled piece. The artist was not averse to using ready-made pieces that suited his needs, and the nails filled his requirements for the wire constructions. Although square and angular overall, the organic shapes and imperfect squares add to the biomorphic impression for which Bertoia is known. Nature was a heavy influence is all his work and these may have been inspired by the thorny bushes on the estate. This sculpture in particular was acquired by Fairweather Hardin Gallery in Chicago in 1956. Bertoia explained how this came about (Interview, Paul Cummings, Archives of American Art, June 20, 1972). I think there was an exhibition at the Chicago Art Museum, an exhibition of sculpture and painting… During this time I had sent in two metal constructions and I think that Sally Fairweather and Shirley Hardin came this way [artist’s studio in Bally, Pennsylvania] and asked… These two sculptures must have interested them and they came this way to find out a little more about me and what they saw was perhaps so far a quality that they asked whether I would have a show in their gallery. This was a sort of meeting and it was the beginning of that relationship. This piece was in the first solo Bertoia exhibition at the gallery in 1956. From the archival correspondence, it was obvious that Fairweather Hardin could hardly keep a Bertoia in the gallery, and were frequently pestering Bertoia for more sculptures. Hundreds of sculptures passed through their gallery and made the Bertoia name well known in Chicago. They had their last Bertoia show in 1984 and closed shop in 1991. The current owners obtained it directly from Fairweather Hardin, so the provenance couldn’t be better.

Check list from the 1956 Fairweather Hardin exhibit – lot 5 is shown at bottom left.

Bertoia was wont to title his pieces because he felt that the viewer’s opinion was the one that counted most. And he believed that, although it was his hands that created the piece, it was a divine creativity from a higher source that inspired his work and he didn’t want to take personal credit by signing. We call this one wire construction simply because of its formation. What will you call it? – Celia Bertoia, Harry Bertoia Foundation

Anish Kapoor

(BRITISH/INDIAN, B. 1954)

“Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.”– Gertrude Stein Over the past forty years, the Bombay-born British sculptor Sir Anish Kapoor has almost singlehandedly transformed the possibilities of his medium. Indeed, the artist ranks among the handful of key innovators who have taken sculpture from where modern giants in the field – such as Constantin Brancusi, Henry Moore and David Smith – had left it and has forged his ideas into various new, post-modern forms. These constructions (Kapoor, in true contemporary fashion and akin to, say, Richard Serra, now commands a team of assistants to fabricate his detailed plans) possess a unique aura as startling as it is original. As such, Kapoor’s oeuvre ranges from intimate objects placed upon the floor or wall to monumental set pieces such as Cloud Gate (2006) installed in Millenium Park near the Art Institute of Chicago. Kapoor’s media and concomitant visual effects are equally diverse. Often his surfaces are polished to a mirror-like finish, whereas in other instances Kapoor manipulates wax, Vaseline or similar gooey substances as though they were inchoate matter that seems to embody sheer chaos. Shooting into the Corner (2008-09) typifies the latter mayhem: periodically, a pneumatic cannon propels red wax balls into the angle of a room where they explode in a bloody mess. Between these two extremes of precision and indeterminacy stands the series which first made Kapoor’s name in the early 1980s. Taken overall, its individual sculptures had few if any contemporaneous counterparts in either their makeup or sheer vividness, which still leaves an indelible impression upon the viewer. The untitled red presence in the current auction is fashioned from an infrastructure composed with polystyrene, plaster and cloth that was then coated in gesso to which Kapoor applied a finish of raw powder pigment. Its typology is altogether characteristic of this ground-breaking group that bears the collective title, 1,000 Names. This phrase itself is an evocative designation suggesting myriad morphologies. One example after another from 1,000 Names fulfils this metamorphic promise. Untitled is no exception. As Kapoor has explained, these sculptures are frequently simple, curvaceous shapes, monochromatic and brightly hued, using powder pigment to permeate their masses. Kapoor adds: “While making the pigment pieces, it occurred to me that they all form themselves out of each other. So I decided to give them a generic title, “A Thousand Names”, implying infinity, a thousand being a symbolic number. The powder works sat on the floor or projected from the wall. The powder defines the surface of the floor and the objects appear to be partially submerged, like icebergs. That seems to fit inside the idea of something being partially there.” Untitled manifests all these features – to which should be added that the powder resonates with memories of the brilliant mounds of spice that Kapoor observed in Indian markets. The combination of a friable texture and intensest chroma creates a strange spatiality at once instantaneous and difficult to read in terms of surface versus depth. At first glance, the sculpture probably suggests a rose. Yet look again. It unfolds with a vortexlike dynamism, not merely approaching the spectator’s gaze but also emerging from the wall like the bit of some strange drill. Other works in the series confirm this spiral forcefulness, which implies a hidden force behind it. What we see is seductive, a rosy bloom with inviting petals. What remains unseen though hinted, is more cryptic, even ominous. As a rose, Untitled holds a floral symbolism stretching back many millennia and as recent as Gertrude Stein’s insistence – see the epigraph, above, from her famous 1913 poem – that things are, well, just what they are. As a three-dimensional play in space, time, torque and blood-redness (other Kapoor titles, such as Blood Cinema, make the allusion explicit), Untitled becomes a haunting apparition that echoes with Kapoor’s ubiquitous penchant for sublime enigmas: “I’ve always been interested in the magical…. Truly mysterious implies that there is something else going on – it’s a matter of meaning.” This “rose” turns out to mean and imply much more than it presents at first sight.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE SELLERS Evaluation of Property If you have property you wish to sell, please call our Consignment Department at 312.280.1212 to arrange for a consultation. At that time, you may make an appointment to bring your property or photographs, along with any other pertinent information, to Hindman LLC and we will be happy to provide you with complimentary estimates and advice. If you have a large collection, an appointment may be made to evaluate the property on-site. Fees for on-site visits may vary. Standard Commission Rates Our standard rate of commission is equal to ten percent (10%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $5,001 or more; and twenty percent (20%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for less than $5,001, with a minimum commission of $25 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the reserve price agreed upon between you and Hindman LLC, you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%) of the reserve price. Shipping Arrangements Hindman LLC can advise you as to how to have your property delivered to our galleries. Packing, shipping and insurance are payable by the seller. In certain instances, packing and shipping costs may be paid by Hindman LLC and deducted from the proceeds of the sale. We may recommend packers and shippers, but we are not responsible for their acts or omissions. Appraisals Appraisals can be arranged for insurance, donation, estate tax, family division or other purposes. Appraisal fees vary according to circumstances. Please contact our Estates and Appraisals Department at 312.280.1212 for further information.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS Conditions of Sale Hindman LLC encourages all prospective buyers to read the Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue. Exhibitions Hindman LLC recommends that all prospective buyers attend the pre-sale exhibition prior to the auction. Staff members are available at our pre-sale exhibitions to advise prospective buyers on particular objects or on any aspect of the bidding process. Estimates Hindman LLC provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision. Condition Reports We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports. Bidding at Auction The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are:

$0 - $200 ........................................ $10 $200 - $500 ........................................ $25 $500 - $1,000 ..................................... $50 $1,000 - $2,000 ................................... $100 $2,000 - $5,000 ................................... $200 $5,000 - $10,000 ................................. $500 $10,000 - $20,000 .............................. $1,000 $20,000 - $50,000 .............................. $2,000 $50,000 - $100,000 ............................ $5,000 $100,000 - $200,000 .......................... $10,000 Over > $200,000 ...... Auctioneer’s Discretion

In-House Bidding Live bidding at Hindman LLC is by paddle only. Please register for a paddle at the entrance of the sales room. If you are the successful bidder, your paddle number and the hammer price will be announced by the auctioneer. Online Bidding Hindman LLC allows absentee and live bidding through our website at www. lesliehindman.com as well as absentee and live bidding through third party online bidding providers which vary by sale. For more information regarding online bidding please visit our website at hindmanauctions.com. Absentee Bidding If you are unable to attend an auction, you may use the absentee bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. Hindman LLC will exercise written order bids and telephone bids at no additional charge. Lots will always be sold as inexpensively as is allowed other bids and reserves as are on our books or bids executed in competition from the audience.

The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Hindman LLC and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Hindman LLC expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.

AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Hindman LLC has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Hindman LLC before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Hindman LLC, and that Hindman LLC will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid. Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding. These telephone bids may be recorded at the discretion of Hindman LLC. Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids.

Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Hindman LLC. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Hindman LLC sale record shall be conclusive. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.

AFTER THE SALE Buyer’s Premium In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium and the applicable sales tax added to the final total. The buyer’s premium for all purchases except via live online bidding is twenty-five (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $250,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $250,000 up to and including $3,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $3,000,000. The buyer’s premium for purchases made via live online bidding is twenty-six (26%) of the hammer price up to and including $250,000; twenty-one percent (21%) of any amount in excess of $250,000 up to and including $3,000,000; and thirteen percent (13%) of any amount in excess of $3,000,000.

Payment in U.S. dollars may be made with cash; bank check or cashier’s check drawn on a U.S. bank; money order; or wire transfer unless other arrangements are made with Hindman LLC.

Property will not be released to the shipper without the buyer’s written consent and until payment has been made in full. Packing and handling of purchased lots by us is at the entire risk of the purchaser, and Hindman LLC will have no liability of any loss or damage to such items. Non Payment If we do not receive payment in full, in good cleared funds, within seven (7) business days following the sale, we are entitled in our absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following measures, in addition to any additional actions available to us by law: a.) to impose a late charge of one and a half percent (1.5%) per thirty (30) days of the total purchase price b.) to hold the defaulting buyer liable for the total amount due and to begin legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law c.) to cancel the sale d.) to resell the property publicly or privately with such terms as we find appropriate, to resell the property at public auction without reserve, and with the purchaser liable for any deficiency, cost, including handling charges, the expenses of both sales, our commission on both sales at our regular rate, all other charges due hereunder and incidental damages. In addition, a defaulting purchaser will be deemed to have granted us a security interest in, and we may retain as collateral security for such purchaser’s obligations to us, any property in our possession owned by such purchaser. At our option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until we have collected funds represented by checks, or in the case of bank or cashier’s checks, we have confirmed their authenticity.

If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
