RAISE YOUR PADDLE!
If you are not able to attend this year’s MassArt Auction to participate in the Raise Your Paddle segment in person at the start of our Live Auction, you can still make a gift of any amount by going online to massartauction.org/give
OR BY SCANNING THIS QR CODE: If you are in attendance at the MassArt Auction but didn’t get a chance to participate in this year’s Raise Your Paddle segment (or perhaps were outbid on that piece of art you had hoped to buy and are feeling generous!), please consider making a gift in support of student scholarships before you leave tonight.
MassArt students are BIG THINKERS. CHANGE MAKERS. ACTION TAKERS. PROBLEM SOLVERS. But they can’t do it
alone and that is where you can help! Everyone wins when you participate in Raise Your Paddle.
PADDLE SPONSOR:
Raise Your Paddle is our annual appeal for outright contributions to our student scholarship fund. Your gift, of any amount, will make a world-class art and design education accessible for motivated MassArt students. When you support our students with a Raise Your Paddle gift, you make it possible for generations of students to make the world a better place through the power of art and design. Change a student’s life—MassArt students are worth the investment.

2020 MASSART AUCTION
2020
Auction Guidelines BEFORE THE AUCTION
SILENT AUCTION BIDDING
Preview and bid on auction artwork at paddle8.com/ auction/massart starting April 10, 2020 through April 24 at noon EST. Bids may be placed on either Live or Silent Auction lots during this time. High bids will be transferred accordingly the night of the Auction and proxy bids will be monitored by house bidders throughout the evening. All Silent Auction lots are available for purchase for 150% of their stated value through the Buy Now option. For more information, visit MassArtAuction.org. You can also download the Paddle8 app to your smartphone and bid and buy artwork from your phone before the Auction.
There are four Silent Auction sections that will close in twenty-minute intervals upon completion of the Live Auction, with the final two closing at 10:40PM. Each item offered in the Silent Auction will have a bid sheet posted adjacent to it. To place a bid, write your bidder number on the sheet opposite the amount you wish to bid. Please place bids according to the minimum increments posted on the bid sheet; any bid not in the proper increment will be disqualified. You may bid on any item in the Silent Auction until the section is closed. At the posted closing time a Silent Auction Captain will collect the bid sheets and determine the winning bid for each item. If you are the winning bidder at the close of the Silent Auction section, your bid constitutes a legal contract to purchase the item. In the event of a dispute over a Silent Auction bid, the Executive Director of Advancement will determine the winning bid and the decision will be final.
AT THE AUCTION / CHECK-IN
During check-in, guests will receive bidder numbers when they provide a valid credit card or leave a signed blank check at the registration table. Bidder numbers will not be issued unless either a credit card or a check is provided. This will ensure prompt payment of all artwork and Raise Your Paddle donations. If you registered to come with a guest, other than your spouse, your guest will have to register for his or her own bidder number unless you have requested otherwise. To expedite your check-in process, contact Fundraising Events Coordinator Olga Batyuk at 617.879.7014 to attach a credit card to your bidder number before the Auction.
BUY NOW OPTION
Any Silent Auction lot may be purchased outright by paying 150% of its stated value. Artwork may be purchased at any time during the Auction by placing your bidder number on the Buy Now line of the artwork’s bid sheet. Once the Buy Now line on a bid sheet has been filled in, the work is considered sold. Bid sheets will remain adjacent to the work until the section is closed. The Buy Now option is available to online bidders at paddle8.com/auction/massart from April 10–24, during the Opening Reception on Wednesday, April 15, and during the Public Preview Days on April 16–23. Please note that the College is closed on Monday, April 20 in observance of Patriots Day.

ARTWORK PICK-UP / DELIVERY

To place an absentee Live Auction bid visit paddle8.com/auction/massart between April 10–24 or contact Executive Director of Advancement Kathy Calnan at kcalnan@massart.edu or 617.879.7012. RAISE YOUR PADDLE
Raise Your Paddle is our annual appeal for outright contributions to our student scholarship fund. Your gift of any amount will help MassArt remain affordable and accessible. Gifts made through Raise Your Paddle are outright donations and are tax-deductible as allowed by law. SALES TAX
All artwork purchases are subject to the Massachusetts 6.25% sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number. Exemption certificates from other states will be accepted if presented with a business card or on letterhead. All certificates must be presented during guest check-in. PAYMENT
Cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express will be accepted as payment. All purchases are final and must be paid for on the evening of the Auction. No exchanges or refunds will be allowed.
Important: Please Read!
BUYER’S PREMIUM
A buyer’s premium equal to 12% of the winning bid will be applied to each lot sold and will be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. This premium helps to offset the administrative costs of running the MassArt Auction in order to ensure the funds raised through artwork sales go directly to student scholarships and academic programming. A buyer’s premium will not be applied to any pledge(s) made during the Live Auction’s Raise Your Paddle fundraising opportunity. Gifts made through Raise Your Paddle are outright donations and are fully tax-deductible as allowed by law.
BE WRAPPED TO TAKE HOME THE NIGHT OF THE AUCTION.
In the days following the Auction buyers will be asked to please make arrangements through one of the following options: 1. Pick up work in the DMC Atrium on Wednesday, April 29 or Thursday, April 30, 4:00–7:00PM; or 2. Have work delivered to your home in the Metro Boston area* by Clark Fine Art Services; or 3. Have work professionally shipped at the expense of the purchaser.

Ainslie lectures at Northeastern University in Boston. She received her MFA at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts in 2001. Ainslie is a recipient of the Ann and Graham Gund award and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. Sophia Ainslie is represented by Gallery NAGA in Boston, MA.

$10,000 Courtesy of the artist and Gallery NAGA Dinorá Justice is a School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston graduate from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil who currently resides in Massachusetts. The Odalisque paintings are Justice’s current body of work. They address conscious and unconscious biases regarding traditional associations of nature with the feminine. Justice’s idea is to step back and look at women differently and to weigh the impact of deeply ingrained attitudes toward the female that have ramifications in the realm of ecology. For this, she chose to work with iconic paintings of women by masters such as Matisse and Ingres, from a period in their careers in which they explored a fascination with the exotic Middle East through paintings of “odalisques,” quasi-slave women kept secluded in the harems of upper-class men. In these paintings, she substituted trees and plants for drapery and furniture, and she used traditional marbling techniques to erase specificity through patterns. Dinorá Justice is represented by Gallery NAGA in Boston, MA.

Alice Denison’s new paintings, all titled Pangloss, explode with energy and extravagance. Ornately rendered plants and flowers, floating on top of darker backgrounds as if they were sewn into tapestries, appear otherworldly, with a dreamlike rendering unlike most grounded still lifes. While ostensibly decorative, the paintings reward prolonged inspection. Denison studied painting as an undergraduate in 1980, pursued other directions, and has returned to the studio with devotion in the past fifteen years. Her work was spurred by a 2007 MFA program of Massachusetts College of Art and Design conducted at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown. Alice Denison is represented by Gallery NAGA in Boston, MA.

$2,500 Courtesy of the Donald Kelley Estate Donald Kelley was a quiet, private person, but the spark in his eyes about art-making was electric-contagious even. He spent many years in MassArt’s printmaking studio creating extraordinary work. His energy, focus, and fearless approach to art-making was an inspiration for our students, a half century younger than he. Donald was an inveterate world traveler the taste for which began when he was awarded a Bartlett Traveling Scholarship from the SMFA. He received an MFA from Yale University and was, for many years, the Director of the Gallery at the Boston Athenaeum. His work has been exhibited widely and, in October 2019, MassArt hosted a magnificent exhibition of his work to celebrate his legacy for our future printmakers. A precious seed for aspiring to a new level of curiosity, passion, and profound love for art and travel has been planted by Donald Kelley. His generous planned gift to MassArt will fund a substantial ongoing international travel award, which seniors and alumni can compete for. In addition, his gift will also fund a crucially needed scholarship for a sophomore printmaking major of merit and need, to help them continue their studies at MassArt. We are extremely grateful to Rose Coleman, Donald’s dear friend and the executor of his estate for donating his work to the Auction and especially for declaring that any proceeds will be donated to our Master Print Series—a strenuous annual event which our printmaking majors profoundly benefit from participating in. May Donald’s generous initiative inspire others to support the extraordinary talent of MassArt students! —Nona Hershey, Faculty Emerita

Qin Feng’s expressive compositions serve as meditations on time and motion. His bold brushstrokes lyrically combine the gestural impulses of action painting with the tradition of Chinese calligraphy painting and the artist often playfully pairs the traditional medium of ink with alternative materials such as coffee, tea and oil paint. Qin’s interest in balancing the dynamic between positive and negative space within his compositions mirrors his interest in exploring the delicate harmony between humans and nature. Qin’s work has been included in exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Courtney Meskell is a photographer and multimedia artist living and working in Boston, MA. She is currently pursuing her BFA at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Her work deals with the extreme contrasts between being on and off prescription and recreational drugs. Using color and light she attempts to encapsulate what those realities are to her. The embedded belief that she is unable to perform at the level of her peers has caused her to become dependent on Adderall. Through this work she explores how perceptions of self as well as behavioral patterns transform when substances interact with neurological disorders. In this process she uses the attention-deficit/hyperactive part of her brain to drive her creative process to represent the psychological as well as physiological impacts that various drugs have on her brain.
Margaret Rose Vendryes is a visual artist, art historian, and curator. For well over a decade, Vendryes has worked on The African Diva Project which links African American celebrities to their African roots by depicting them wearing traditional African masks. Her unusual combination of Western and African aesthetics reveals a formidable merger of beauty and power. Blackglam Legends, a new print series within the project, revisits the Blackglama mink ad campaign “What Becomes a Legend Most?” to elevate, above the hyper-expensive luxury product, eight celebrities of African descent who were featured in the ad campaign. She lays bare the irony of black mink on black bodies by adding the African masks and asking, “Who Becomes a Legend Most?”

Robert Cottingham studied advertising and graphic design at Pratt Institute in New York. Soon after graduating, he was employed as an art director at New York and Los Angeles advertising agencies. His first solo exhibition took place at the Molly Barnes Gallery in Los Angeles in 1968. He moved to London in 1972 and returned to the United States in 1976 after running out of photographs—the primary visual material he uses in his paintings. He considered his urban subjects purely American and would not consider a visual substitute.

Steven Spazuk paints with fire in a technique he refers to as “fumage,” reinventing traditional artistic approaches. Over the past 16 years, Spazuk has refined this skill – creating exquisitely vivid figures and animals from the residue of his candle’s brushstrokes. He has become an internet sensation, and recently was recruited as a sponsored artist by Zippo. The draftsmanship is so remarkable that the works are often mistaken for academic drawings or photography.
Matt Phillips received his BA from Hampshire College in 2001 and his MFA in painting from Boston University in 2007. His colorful abstract paintings explore shifting spatial relationships, the intersection of temporal planes, and the spontaneity of the painting process itself. Phillips has attended residencies at the MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, and AIR Serenbe. Recent exhibitions include Studio d’Arte Raffaelli (Trento, Italy), Ortega y Gasset Projects (Brooklyn, NY), Devening Projects (Chicago, IL), Johanssen Gallery (Berlin, Germany), Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects (New York, NY), and University of Maine Museum of Art (Bangor, ME). Phillips teaches fine art at the Fashion Institute of Technology and lives in Brooklyn, New York.

She is an oil painter who has always had great respect for the old masters of tradition, and that admiration of traditional paintings extends to the realism in her work today. Often inspired by the elegance of ballet, she tries to translate the dancers’ dignity and elegance onto her canvas in order to bring to light their feelings, dreams, and souls.

These two mediums have provided him with an understanding for the value of time and patience. Some days you will see him hunched over a single thread for hours on end, and other days you will see him running back and forth with three different cameras trying to find the best light. Always trying to adapt and evolve, his work and his personal attitude is the visual exploration to the saying, “You can’t make an omelette without cracking a few eggs.”

Rick Fox, a graduate of Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MFA) and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (BFA), studied with George Nick, a longtime realist painter and mentor to many painters in New England. Fox’s work began as a response to his environment by portraying his surroundings with honest detail. Fox’s work has deviated from the direct observation he had practiced for years; almost paradoxically, his shapes have flattened while still relaying volume and space. Fox likes Cezanne’s approach, remarking, “In order to create honesty you need to embrace the flatness of the surface. I’m experimenting with how much I can simplify the shapes but with the goal of trying to use flatness to get more volume and illusion.” In that simplification, suddenly new opportunities arise to organize and push color.

His current project, Cash For Your Warhol, was featured at Pulse Miami in 2011, was the subject of a solo exhibition at Montserrat College of Art, and has been collected by a number of institutions, including the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. CFYW is Hargadon’s take on art-as-commodity, a reference to the financial crisis and the ubiquitous signage that responded to it. The signs are screen-printed on corrugated plastic, the exact materials used by others trying to buy houses, cars, and gold – deliberately designed to create an ambiguous message when installed on the street. Hargadon is also the creator of The Somerville Gates (2005). Visit: cashforyourwarhol.com

Henry Frost is an artist from Western MA, living in Boston. Frost is a senior at MassArt and is a printmaker, specializing in screen printing. Frost also works with digital art, sculpture, and bookmaking. His chosen medium is print, because it allows him to have a graphic quality, while still being able to experiment with different mark making. Screen print also allows a wider variety of colors that couldn’t be achieved any other way. His work draws from his dreams and memories, which are filled with futuristic and primal worlds filled with vibrant colors and strange humanoid creatures. Frost creates in the hope of better understanding what these dreams mean, and where they will lead him. His works draw influence from surrealist painters, works of science fiction, and graphic novels.
Elisa H. Hamilton is a socially engaged multimedia artist who creates inclusive artworks that emphasize shared spaces and the hopeful examination of our everyday places, objects, and experiences. She holds a BFA in painting from MassArt, and an MA in Civic Media: Art & Practice from Emerson College. Current projects include Jukebox, a public art commission for the Cambridge Foundry.

Mary Kocol’s work draws upon themes of the garden, landscape, and the seasons. Kocol creates botanical ice tablets. The blossoms are collected from her garden as well as gardens of friends and family, frozen into ice and photographed in sunlight to become fanciful and ethereal constructions. Blooms and ice are temporary; the photograph becomes the permanent art object—the record that they once briefly existed. Her work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; and the Victoria and Albert Museum. She’s a recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship and several Massachusetts Local Cultural Council grants. Mary Kocol is represented by Gallery NAGA in Boston, MA.

Susan Hambleton lives and works in NYC. She received her B.A. from Columbia University; B.F.A. from the School of Visual Arts; and M.F.A. from Hunter College. She teaches at the School of Visual Arts and Eugene Lang College, New School University. Her work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, General Electric Company, IBM, Library of Congress, NYNEX, among other prestigious institutions.
Alice Denison’s new paintings, all titled Pangloss, explode with energy and extravagance. Ornately rendered plants and flowers, floating on top of darker backgrounds as if they were sewn into tapestries, appear otherworldly, with a dreamlike rendering unlike most grounded still lifes. While ostensibly decorative, the paintings reward prolonged inspection. Denison studied painting as an undergraduate in 1980, pursued other directions, and has returned to the studio with devotion in the past fifteen years. Her work was spurred by a 2007 MFA program of Massachusetts College of Art and Design conducted at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown. Alice Denison is represented by Gallery NAGA in Boston, MA.

Cristina Dias (b. Brazil) received a BFA in 3D/Metals and Jewelry from MassArt and is now pursuing an MFA in Brazil. Dias employs various unusual jewelry materials including rubber, silicone, wire, and fabric, creating jewelry with unexpected textures. The series of work All That Glitters explores the idea of value and illusion, while evoking the preciousness of something lost, that ceased to be, that has been transformed, or that never was quite what it seemed." Cristina Dias’s work is in the collections of Museum of Arts and Design, New York, the Teaching Collection of the Museum of Contemporary Craft, Portland, Oregon, and the Kamm Teapot Foundation, North Carolina.
Makiko Oda studied environmental design at Joshibi University of Art and Design in Japan. Her studies in environmental design and plant life are a key source of inspiration in her work. Oda’s jewels reflect the varied expressions that plants show us: the way that green leaves ripple in the breeze and reflect sunlight, their ever-changing tones in the autumn as their borders overlap, and the elemental happiness that plants bring to people. Awards include the Excellent Use of Materials Award at the International Craft Exhibition, Itami, Japan, and the Excellent Prize Award at the Japan Jewelry Art Competition. She exhibits with Mobilia Gallery in Cambridge, MA. Visit: mobilia-gallery.com * Photography by Jordan Davis Robles

Interested in how the regular and irregular unite to make an intended shape and the idea that small points accumulate to become a line, Fuchi’s brilliant technical skills are evident with his various techniques and use of materials, including Shibuichi, a traditional Japanese alloy of copper, and silver, and Keum-Boo, an ancient Korean gilding technique, which depletes the surface of sterling silver to bring up fine silver, then applies thin gold wire to fine silver wire with heat and pressure. Fuchi’s work is in the collections of The Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York, The Spencer Museum of Art, Kansas and the Swiss National Museum, Switzerland. Visit: arata-fuchi.com

Sue Aygarn-Kowalski received a BFA from the University Wisconsin-Milwaukee and an MFA from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Aygarn-Kowalski believes “that through the combination of hand and mind the most powerful resource in the evolution of humans emerged—the ability to fabricate and to use tools.” Her work is in the collections of the Duxbury Art Complex Museum; the Kamm Teapot Collection, NC; the Museum of Arts and Design, NY; the Racine Art Museum, WI; and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Momoko Kumai received an MA in goldsmithing, silversmithing, metalwork and jewellery from the Royal College of Art in London. Kumai’s jewelry is inspired by the concept of movement and fluidity. Each carefully engineered piece consists of hand hammered, dimensional shapes in colored yellow, white and red gold, alloyed from nine to twenty-two carat. All designs when worn create an allusion of perpetual movement, reflected through movements of the wearer. The structures capture and reflect the light to convey a sense of rhythm and spatial depth.

Petra Class was trained as a silversmith in Germany. Having spent several years constructing tableware, her approach to jewelry making is “informed foremost by the European tradition of applied art." Class limits herself to creating jewelry that is wearable and also, to a big degree, to the materials traditionally perceived as precious. Over the years, certain themes have recurred in Class’s work: the rhythmical arrangements of several elements, repetition of similar forms or colors, the unexpected contrasts of differently textured materials. The artist is “endlessly fascinated with gemstones, precious or not...by the wealth of different reds found in nature, by the sea of blues: the opaqueness of lapis, the transparency and subtlety of a lightly lilac-colored sapphire. One can almost paint with these stones.” Visit: mobilia-gallery.com * Photography by Jordan Davis Robles

Jee Hye Kwon earned her BFA from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. Inspired by architectural forms and topographical shapes in nature, Kwon aspires to create works which combine the renderings of an architect with the delicate skills of a master jeweler. Employing multiple gages of gold and silver wire in varied tones, the artist’s works are distinguished by their ’see-through-spaces.’ Fluidly interlinked organic forms suggest dynamic movement, especially accentuated by the white and black of silver and Shakudo. Kwon’s work is in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Kamm Teapot Foundation, North Carolina.

Sarah Enoch received a BA in Jewelry from Middlesex University in London. Her work is inspired by botanical nature, landscapes and the four seasons. Enoch has developed a unique technique using thermoplastics such as PE (Polyethylen) and PMMA (Acrylic). Each form is made separately: coloured PE-granules and threads are arranged in a kind of minicollage. By heating and pressing the collage, the loose elements merge into one piece to create very light and flexible forms. Enoch’s work is in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, California.
Yuri Tozuka (b. Japan) received a BFA in 3D Fine Arts/Jewelry and Metals from MassArt in 2009. Tozuka is influenced by elements such as dark humor, satire, and illogical notion.

A daughter, Angela, showed him that boldness was beautiful. His son, Raphael, taught him that there was still much to learn.

Thomas Diener is the founder and the creative force behind Miles McNeel design. At an early age he was asked to choose between music and fine art. Choosing the former, he made a career as a performer on the concert stage but was always compelled to express himself in the visual arts. His timeless iconic designs bridge the gap between fashion and fine jewelry and are produced by hand with concern for the environment.
Born and bred in New York and coming from a family of creative minds, Annie Fenterstock combines her talent for design and technical training to explore the world of metals and gemstones. Fenterstock’s technical background began while studying metalworks and jewelry design in art school. Years of tutelage under master goldsmiths provide her with a foundation that informs her designs and supports her ability to create virtually anything from her bench.
