The collection of Betty and Stanley Sheinbaum illustrates an exceptional vision that was ahead of its time. With an array of works ranging from sculptures by Henry , masterpieces

by Robert Motherwell and Richard Diebenkorn, ceramics

by Pablo Picasso and the sculptural icon Rondena by Peter Voulkos, among many others works on paper by modern masters, a visit to the couple’s Los Angeles residence provided visitors with an eclectic feast for the senses. Initially formed

by Betty with her frst husband, Hollywood producer Milton Sperling, and later in partnership with political activist Stanley Sheinbaum upon their marriage in 1964, this remarkable collection is unique for its commitment to both contemporary art and mid-century American craf. Largely assembled within a period of just four years between 1958 and 1962, the works that comprise this collection were very much contemporaneous to the epoch—ofering a fascinating snapshot of the vanguard of collecting at this crucial moment in time.

Born in 1920s New York, to the future television and film mogul Harry Warner (of Warner Bros), Betty grew up during the Golden Age of Hollywood, which coincided with the rapid growth and success of her father’s movie empire. In the sprawling, afuent suburbs of Los Angeles Betty met her frst husband – the prodigious screenwriter Milton Sperling, with whom she frst began collecting art. Having acquired a large portion of her recently retired father’s studio account in 1957, Betty worked with some of the most important dealers of the age, including Paul Kantor and Eric Estorick, to create a collection which encapsulated the radical artistic trends and social ideals of this unique moment in time in America, both in the art world and beyond. At the heart of her collecting lay a cultured eye and a remarkable vision for spotting unrecognized talent, such as the English sculptor Henry w. Betty was one of the frst American collectors to acquire a sensational group of maquettes which encapsulated the genius of his iconic practice. An artist herself – painting and welding sculptures from found materials in her garage-studio – Betty was also a fervent supporter of cutting-edge American art, adding to her collection works from the prestigious New York School, produced by fgures such as Willem de Kooning and Robert Motherwell, as well as works from artists who had not yet fully established themselves, like the California-based Richard Diebenkorn. Now considered one of the most important fgures in abstract American painting, the purchase of Diebenkorn’s work was exemplary of Betty’s artistic confdence, foresight and autonomous approach to collecting. Deeply engaged with an acute art historical sensibility, Betty also added works

by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alberto Giacometti and Marc Chagall – thus creating seminal discourse between contemporary and modern art.

UK_TCA DAY_MAR18_2-59.indd 17

Betty Sheinbaum was inspiring not only for her commitment to contemporary art, but also for her passion for human rights, anti-war eforts and advocacy for peace in the Middle East – living her life at the ofen cataclysmic crossroads of art and politics. Betty remarried in 1964 to Stanley Sheinbaum, an alumni of Stanford University, and, at the time, a senior fellow at one of the world’s frst think tanks, the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions. Despite Betty’s longstanding interest and engagement with politics, it was with Stanley whom she embarked on a path of concerted political activism – travelling to Cambodia in search of the Ho Chi Minh trail, and helping free future Greek Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou during a military coup. Although unsuccessful in two runs for the Santa Barbara congressional seat, Stanley progressed to the position of Chairman of the American Civil Liberties Union with Betty by his side, and later the President of the Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners afer the brutal beating of Rodney King in 1991.

The Sheinbaums selfess commitment to political activism was matched perhaps only in their patronage of the budding crafs scene in California. Emerging in the 1960s, the couple turned their attention to this dynamic movement after feeling that ‘painting and sculpture, particularly painting, had come to a dead end, and that a new vital spirit was in the crafts.’ (Betty Sheinbaum, quoted in “Living With the Arts”, American Craf, January 1981, p. 25) The Sheinbaums became close to a number of artists working outside the fine art world, in particular Peter Voulkos, a number of whose works the couple included in their collection, such as his 1958 masterpiece, Rodena. The Sheinbaums further supported the movement’s development through generous loans and donations to museums, even founding their own galleries devoted to contemporary crafts, namely Galeria del Sol in Santa Barbara and Fairtree Gallery in New York.

These independent spaces aimed to reach the widest possible audiences, and were deeply rooted at the epicentre of the emerging contemporary craft scene.

Exemplifying a deeply personal, all-inclusive and democratic vision, the Betty and Stanley Sheinbaum Collection demonstrates the same unwavering commitment that defned their legacy of shared political activism. The Sheinbaums stand as examples of true connoisseurs and patrons who immersed themselves in their own time and place, while still also understanding the trajectory of the art historical canon. As such, the Betty and Stanley Sheinbaum Collection is a testament to the passion, unwavering dedication and incredible foresight of two of the late 20th century’s most important collectors and patrons of contemporary art.

The Universal Moore and Form Henry Alberto Giacometti in America

Henry Moore’s impact on the post-war American art scene was unprecedented for a British sculptor. The artist’s notoriety in the United States can be traced back to his inclusion in the landmark 1936 exhibition Cubism and Abstract Art, organised

by Alfred Barr at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and his frst US show in 1943 at the Buchholz Gallery, New York, whereby Moore’s stateside dealer, Curt Valentin, showed a selection of graphic works by the British artist. The relationship between Valentin and Moore blossomed and the dealer soon became the sculptor’s trusted friend and ally in America.

A number of Moore’s most celebrated and monumental sculptures spent time in America before the Second World War, exemplifed by his masterpiece, the Hornton stone Recumbent Figure, now housed in the Tate collection, which travelled to the New York World Fair in 1939, not leaving the Museum of Modern Art garden in New York until afer the end of the war in 1948.

In the same way, Moore’s elm wood Reclining Figure has been held in the collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Bufalo, since 1939. Despite having a number of his major works in American public and private collections, it was not until Moore’s 1946-1947 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, organised by James Johnson Sweeney, where his reputation found a national foothold in America. Appealing to a new humanitarian hopefulness in the wake of the Second World War, Moore’s sculpture encapsulated a sense of progressive and collective humanism; his work promoted man’s relationship to nature through his organic shapes, whilst his celebrated Shelter Drawings encapsulated the tender resolve of the family unit which clung together through the darkness of wartime, to emerge into the light of a world lef shattered by the devastating efects of confict. Moore’s personality and charm combined with his evocation of both classical and primitive art, led to his popularity with actors, critics, curators and collectors alike. In post-war America, newly built and refurbished cities were designed to be functional and utilitarian, and Moore’s outdoor sculptures became increasingly desirable, as did his smaller maquettes and studies. In the same way, Alberto Giacometti’s widespread fame as a leading force of modern sculpture had reached New York by 1948 with his exhibition at

UK_TCA DAY_MAR18_2-59.indd 20

Pierre Matisse’s gallery, the catalogue of which included Jean-Paul Satre’s existentialist essay, ‘The Search for the Absolute’. Purchased between 1959 and 1966, a period of turbulence and civil rights protest in the US, the present works not only demonstrate the exquisite crafsmanship of Moore and Giacometti as modern masters, but also provide enlightened and enriching context as works borne out of a world in international turmoil. As key collectors of progressive and thought-provoking works, Betty and Stanley Sheinbaum’s collection of Moores and Giacometti works is a testament to their devotion to progressive modes of modern representation.

Executed in 1945, Moore’s Three standing fgures has come to encapsulate one of Moore’s earliest sculptural triumphs, demonstrating his unrivalled mastery of tension, contemplation and profoundness, captured exquisitely in the medium of bronze. Moore formulated his composition for the sculpture through his Shelter Drawings series which depicted anxious Londoners, draped in blankets and sheets, hiding in London’s subterranean underground system, safe from the threat of bombs and fre above. Kenneth Clark stipulated that Moore’s drawings executed between 1942 and 1946, particularly his drawing Group of Draped Standing Figures, 1942, currently housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, was the ‘crucial drawing’ in Moore’s realisation of the sculpture. (Kenneth Clark, Henry Moore: Drawings, London, 1974, p. 119) Initially cast in plaster and subsequently in bronze, the sculpture provided the basis for Moore’s larger Darley Dale sandstone carving initially created with the Museum of Modern Art in mind. (Jennifer Powell, ‘Henry Moore and ‘Sculpture in the Open Air’: Exhibitions in London’s Parks’, in Henry Moore: Sculptural Process and Public Identity, Tate Research Publication, 2015, online). Exhibited in 1948 at the Art’s Council of Great Britain’s Open Air Exhibition of Sculpture in Battersea Park, the larger carving has remained in situ afer being purchased by the Contemporary Art Society, becoming an iconic and visionary celebration of the tenacious spirit of Londoners during wartime. A selection of Moore’s Shelter Drawings featured in the artist’s 1946 Museum of Modern Art retrospective and an image of the clay model

The Modern Form: Property from the Collection of Betty and Stanley Sheinbaum

version of the sculpture, owned by the artist, was illustrated in the exhibition catalogue. Simultaneously naturalistic, mysterious and ethereal, Moore’s timeless fgures transcend their surroundings, looking out towards the unknown.

As Moore stated, ‘They are the expression in sculpture of the group feeling that I was concerned with in the shelter drawings… the bringing together of these three fgures involved the creation of a unifed human mood. The pervading theme of the shelter drawings was the group sense of communion in the three figures ... I wanted to overlay it with the sense of release, and create figures conscious of being in the open air, they have a lifed gaze, for scanning distances’ (Henry Moore, quoted in Robert Melville, ed., Sculpture in the Open Air: A Talk by Henry Moore on his Sculpture and its Placing in Open-Air Sites, British Council 1955, Tate, online).

In the same way that Betty Sheinbaum utilised found objects in her own sculpture, so Henry Moore collected organic matter and material to help illustrate his formal ideas and concepts for his sculptural practice. In the present work, Helmet Head No. 4: Interior-Exterior, executed in 1963 and purchased at Leicester Galleries in London, Moore explores the efect of layering varied textures to create a hardened outer shell with a dazzling yet obscured inner element. Modelling the inner form on an animal bone, Moore’s domed outer layer may refer to the armoured helmets worn by soldiers in confict, while at the same time may relate to the protection aforded a child carried by its mother. As Moore stated ‘the idea of one form inside

UK_TCA DAY_MAR18_2-59.indd 22

another form may owe some of its incipient beginnings to my interest at one stage when I discovered armour. I spent many hours in the Wallace Collection, in London, looking at armour’ (Moore, in conversation with David Mitchinson, 1980, transcript reproduced in Alan Wilkinson, ed., Henry Moore: Writings and Conversations, Aldershot, 2002, p. 213). Ambiguous in nature, the present work’s protective outer element may also allude to an insect’s outer shell or even a human skeleton, covering its vital organs.

Diverse in meaning, Helmet Head No. 4: Interior-Exterior was exhibited at the landmark exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Henry Moore in Southern California, in 1973. After the 1946 retrospective of Moore’s work travelled to San Francisco, Californian art enthusiasts and particularly Hollywood collectors became engaged with Moore’s practice. As Seldis wrote in accompaniment to the exhibition, ‘To judge by the number of collectors connected with the movie industry who have helped make Southern California an exceptional reservoir of Moore’s work, Hollywood’s appreciation of the artist matches the enthusiasm Moore has for many of its movies… One of the largest collections of Moores in America is owned

by Mrs Stanley Sheinbaum, Jack Warner’s daughter’ (Henry J. Seldis, Henry Moore in America, Los Angeles, 1973, pp. 201-202).

Moore’s 1952 work Leaf Figure No. 3. was exhibited at the Art Center in La Jolla in San Diego, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the Los Angeles Municipal Art Galleries,

Barnsdall Park, a decade prior to being exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art exhibition. Purchased from the esteemed dealer, Eric Estorick in 1959, the present work depicts an organic fgure, whose limbs appear to resemble rounded leaf-like forms. Spritely and charismatic, the fgure’s body is lengthened, and like Giacometti’s Man Pointing (1947), appears totemic with its small head nestled on top of its elongated body.

Drawing upon the extended limbs evident in African, Oceanic and Mayan sculpture, Moore references early examples of primitive art, as well as the natural shapes and materials of objects, which he amassed at his studio and home. Rethinking traditional notions of representation, Moore successfully conveys the lightness of a leaf in the present sculpture through the medium of bronze, a testament to the sculptor’s complete mastery of his materials.

Moore’s Bird was purchased by Betty Sheinbaum in 1961 from Felix Landau Fine Art, a Los Angeles based dealer of Moore’s smaller works in California, acquired at a time when the majority of owned works by Moore in California were primarily bought in New York and London. A nuanced rendering of an avian form, Moore’s shaped bronze conveys a vital sense of movement through the long sweep of the creature’s beak, through to its rounded breast and feathered plumage. Conveying Moore’s ability to capture a creature’s animalistic essence in a static and rigid medium, Bird is exemplary of the artist’s interest in depicting the organic.

A year before the execution of the present work, Moore build a terracotta bird table at his home where he would watch a particular crow feed, stating, ‘It had something wrong with

UK_TCA DAY_MAR18_2-59.indd 23

its beak and it stood almost horizontally. That bird is why I did this sculpture’ (John Hedgecoe, ed., Henry Moore, London, 1968, p. 405). With other casts of the present work housed in the Tate, London, and the Norton Simon Foundation, Pasadena, Bird perfectly demonstrates Moore’s ability to convey tension through the delicately balanced form, which suggests a moment of stillness before the bird breaks into flight.

Untitled, by Alberto Giacometti reveals the initial workings of the esteemed artist’s celebrated work, a key stage in Giacometti’s formulation of his ideas in preparation for sculptural realisation. The fgure’s face appears heavily worked in the manner of the artist’s paintings, creating depth and a sense of three dimensionality on a twodimensional plane. Almost anatomical in execution, Giacometti explores the characteristics of the figure’s countenance, exaggerating elements of the features to convey drama and intensity. Suggesting a sense of movement through energetic lines, the present work provides an insight into Giacometti’s working process to characterize his fgures and realize his sculptural successes.

With their diverse selection of works by prolifc 20th century artists, Betty and Stanley Sheinbaum’s relentless passion for collecting works from the European modern avant-garde is exemplifed in the present grouping. Celebrating both nature and humanity, Moore and Giacometti created works which unifed the continents post-World War Two, ofering both a critique and sense of optimism to the subsequent generations.

The present work is exemplary of Richier’s adroit mastery of new materials and her skilled ability to capture vitality and movement of organic forms in the medium of lead. Casting her gestural fgures in her studio by pouring molten lead into hollow molds, the artist would then adorn the clay models with jewel-like fragments of coloured glass. Through the casting process, the glass shards would become submerged in the lead which she would subsequently scrape away, creating surprising and dazzling efects through the contrast of the mediums. The present work was created in 1953 and later mounted by the artist to a slate base in 1959, suggesting Richier’s careful consideration regarding the presentation of her distinctive fgures.

‘The true protagonist was the relationship of instantaneousness that was created between the spectator, his own reflection, and the painted figure, in an ever-present movement that concentrated the past and the figure in itself to such an extent as to cause one to call their very existence into doubt: it was the dimension of time itself.’

Michelangelo Pistoletto

Exhibited New York, Barbara Mathes Gallery, Refections, 8 September - 22 October 2016

Gabriella, a refective stainless steel surface with the photosilkscreened image of a woman in a black suit, is a seminal example of Michelangelo Pistoletto’s most celebrated series, the Quadri Specchianti or Mirror Paintings. Frustrated with the traditional imitative relationship between painting and reality, from a very young age the artist sought a diferent medium to express his vision and found it in the unbounded and infnite nature of the mirror. The present work was a personal gif from the artist to his subject and friend, Gabriella Papini, in 1987.

At the heart of the artist’s Quadri Specchianti lie the friends, acquaintances, fellow artists and studio visitors who became the subjects of his work. The artist rarely identifed his subjects by name, even when featuring easily recognisable characters such as the dealer Gian Enzo Sperone or fellow artist Alighiero Boetti. Unlike Bacon, who expressed the anguish and pain of the human condition in his portraits, Pistoletto sought to make his subjects expressionless and impersonal and, thus, universal.

In 1956 the artist began experimenting with a number of different surfaces for his autoritratti, a series which was infuenced by the Francis Bacon exhibition Pistoletto had seen at Galatea Galleria d’Arte Contemporanea in Turin. He had perfected his technique by 1962 when he substituted glossy backgrounds with highly polished and mirror-like stainless steel surfaces upon which he pasted photo-like images.

Initially hand painted and traced onto thin tissue paper, then reversed and pasted onto a steel plate, the images later became more mechanically formulated. Afer 1971, the artist began to silkscreen four-colour printed images, creating an oeuvre that continues to pose both artistic and intellectual challenges today.

In the present work, a beautiful woman wearing a black suit and a white shirt confronts us. Holding a large bag, her body and gaze are directed away from the viewer. Her face is enigmatic, half smiling as though inviting the viewer to join her somewhere, and half sad, as if she was about to depart the scene. Floating in space and time, Gabriella is waiting for the onlooker’s refection to interact with her.

A phenomenological device that ofers a transitory experience, the mirror draws the spectator in, inviting them to become an active participant in dialogue with the work. Gabriella, an archetypal and exemplary composition, masterfully distorts the boundaries between past and present, illusion and reality, art and life.

‘I feel like there’s a space of personal freedom for me where my art-making happens. When I go to that space, I’m completely in this world of possibility.’

Laura Owens

Painted in 2004, Laura Owens’ earthy composition, Untitled is a prominent example of the artist’s pioneering and innovative approach to painting. One of the most infuential artists of her generation, Owens has most recently been celebrated in her mid-career survey at the Whitney Museum of American Art that opened in November 2017, cementing her reputation on an international platform.

Exemplary of the artist’s keen interest in the function of painting, Owens employs illusionistic techniques, drawing on an encyclopedic range of sources from folk art, needlework and wallpaper to high art, to form her seemingly naïve depictions.

Guided by her personal life and interests, Owens creates canvases imbued with a sense of delight and discovery.

Recognized for her pursuit of unfamiliar forms and paintings that address the physical and associative qualities of geographical locations, Owens’ work resonates with a varied range of almost poetical sources. The present work, a furry of decorative, horticultural forms, appears familiar in ornament, recalling patterned floral wallpaper, whilst simultaneously being removed from a landscape or definable context.

‘I like the idea that the forms in my paintings might unwind, but you can’t trace the steps back.

I want it to be a singular boom. It is an object that exists, and you don’t question it, but the longer you look at it, you fnd yourself trying to.

You don’t know what the frst move was; it unravels in a weird way, like a labyrinth.

You don’t know what is the beginning or what is the end; it is very circular. One move foats and becomes part of another form. That is true to how I make them. I work intuitively; I’m counting on the paint to tell me what to do. I’m following the lead of the painting, and the process of making the painting helps determine what the painting is going to be.’

‘The paintings are based on images that I have had around for a while. Then I decide, “I choose you.” That is based on two things – the shapes and forms, and the loaded choice of imagery that is going to carry everything else.

‘...I think that's why I like the outdoors, because it removes a sense of time and I want the painting to feel timeless, because it increases that sense of omnipotence.’

Lynette Yiadom-Boakye

Painted in 2011, The Separate is a strikingly potent afrmation of Lynette Yiadom-Boakye’s stylistic and technical achievements as a portrait painter. In the present work, the celebrated artist has drawn subject matter from her recollections and memory to masterfully produce a characterful study of a fctional fgure that exists outside of time and space. Throughout her oeuvre, Yiadom-Boakye has developed a series of works with a distinct painterly aesthetic, drawing upon a deep and sumptuous colour palette, as exemplifed in The Separate. The artist’s mastery of various painterly techniques converges with her nuanced re-examination of the tradition of portraiture, forming a new and progressive visual language.

In The Separate, the sole figure reclines, smiling upon the grassy banks above the blurred coastal seascape. Having worked from life models whilst studying at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, Yiadom-Boakye went on to reject this traditional form of study. Departing from established techniques associated with portraiture, the artist began relying on her own imagination to formulate her compositions. Presented here is a fctional female fgure set within an unknown landscape, a carefully ambiguous cipher of her imagination. The title of the work is equally unclear, proving a lyrical accompaniment to the work; ‘the separate’ is applicable to both fgure or setting and with no other clues

UK_TCA DAY_MAR18_FO1_Lynette_88-89.indd 4

08/02/18 12:04

as to the circumstances, the viewer is left to complete the story in his or her own mind. The actions of the protagonists in Yiadom-Boakye paintings regularly undertake quotidian actions. Whether they are walking to work, having a cup of coffee, going for a swim, relaxing, or taking a moment of refection, their stances and everyday activities are more leisurely than bold. The momentary scenarios appear unfxed to any defnitive associations and present themselves to us in a transitory snapshot.

The genius behind Yiadom-Boakye’s compositional technique is the spontaneous painterly improvisation which she applies to the entirety of her work. The artist is renowned for completing her canvases within a limited time frame, often in a day, to best capture a single moment or stream of consciousness. She refrains from creating or relying on preliminary sketches, instead proficiently improvising on the canvas. This technique reveals fuid, expressive brushstrokes that defne the fgure and surroundings. Both reflecting on and challenging the preceding art historical canon, the artist seeks to define a new painterly syntax through her own technical experimentations with language and painting as a medium.

Yiadom-Boakye’s portraits feature a predominantly black cast of characters. As discussed with Hans Ulrich Obrist,

UK_TCA DAY_MAR18_60-119.indd 89

the artist explained, ‘Race is something that I can completely manipulate, or reinvent, or use as I want to. Also, they’re all black because...I’m not white.’ (Yiadom-Boakye, quoted in Hans Ulrich Obrist, ‘Lynette Yiadom-Boakye interview by Hans Ulrich Obrist,’ Kaleidoscope, no. 15, 2012, p. 102). The artist’s paintings are not solely concerned with simply inserting the black fgure into an overwhelmingly white canon, but provide a much deeper and intricate survey of the human state. As Yiadom-Boakye maintains: ‘People are tempted to politicize the fact that I paint black figures, and the complexity of this is an essential part of the work. But my starting point is always the language of painting itself and how that relates to the subject matter.’

(Yiadom-Boakye, quoted in Hans Ulrich Obrist, ‘Lynette YiadomBoakye interview by Hans Ulrich Obrist,’ Kaleidoscope, no. 15, 2012, p. 102) The brilliance of Yiadom-Boakye’s work has been widely acknowledged; the artist’s work was presented within the 2013 Venice Biennale, short-listed for the 2013 Turner Prize, and celebrated in solo exhibitions at the Serpentine Gallery, London, the Haus der Kunst, Munich, and the Kunsthalle, Basel and most recently at the New Museum, New York. The present lot demonstrates the capability of the artist’s evocative imagination and fast paced enigmatic working process, invoking drama and vitality into her exquisite canvasses.

Celebrated for his highly stylized and explorative oeuvre, George Condo’s body of work is comprised of an amalgamation of paintings, sculptures and drawings that showcase his ability to create deeply complex artifcial realities. Since the 1980s, Condo has pioneered a distinctly individual approach towards the human fgure by embracing the traditional form of portrait painting, whilst rejecting its most formal and academic principles. The artist skilfully dissects his sitter by transforming the everyday human subject into disparate threatening psychological states, surrendering themselves to the painter’s visual interpretation. The present work emits both shock and delight; Condo’s unique pictorial inventions continue to surprise and, at times, horrify, suspending the viewer in a state of awe.

Having frst worked within Andy Warhol’s Factory as a writer and subsequently as a silk screener, Condo befriended prominent artists of the day, namely Jean Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, though resolutely determined that he would not follow the post-Pop style. The artist’s earliest experimentations bare the hallmarks of the incredible efusion that the artist would develop throughout his

UK_TCA DAY_MAR18_60-119.indd 92

practise. Most prominent in Condo’s works since 2000 is his increasingly troubling variation on conventional genres such as the portrait. Within his portraits, the artist presents an incredible selection of familiar subjects – from Madonnas and Clowns to cartoons and Playboy bunnies – all of which had previously existed only on the periphery of his consciousness.

Reoccurring fgures manifest throughout Condo’s portraiture, such as the artists’ imaginary butler Jean Louis, alongside his accompanying host of relatives and acquaintances.

The present work demonstrates the artist’s preoccupation with the female figure. Executed in the early twenty-first century, the portrait exemplifes Condo’s incomparable talent of turning the everyday fgure into a mutation derived from his innermost imagination. Consistently painting whilst travelling throughout Europe, Condo develops his subjects from imaginary fgures that manifested themselves in his mind during his travels.

Painted in 2005, French Maid Variation typifes the artist’s portraits of this period. The motif of the French maid appears recurrently within the artist’s figurative work; having portrayed the service woman in several compositions, each

07/02/18 09:21

time Condo varies the contorted pose, metamorphosing new grotesque facial structures. Within the present composition, the maid’s eye bulges out of the socket to directly meet the gaze of the viewer. Her entire body structure is nonsensical, from the snapping disfgured teeth to the contorted arm that emphasises the two-dimensionality of the canvas’ surface.

A composite of various psychological states painted in opposing ways, the present portrait refects the madness of everyday life.

The artist’s imaginative and varied visual artistic language pays tribute to an amalgamation of canonical infuences– from the eloquence of the Old Masters to the dynamism of Picasso’s Cubism. Throughout his oeuvre, Condo pays homage to Picasso’s work and in the 1980s coined the term ‘psychological cubism’ and ‘artifcial realism’ to eloquently summarise his approach.

Drawing upon the language of Modernist abstraction, Condo combines the vocabulary of the past with an innovative painterly edge which oscillates between abstraction and fguration.

The mastery of Condo’s painterly technique, his strong characterisation of the fgures set against a timeless backdrop, creates an efect that is both stylistically elegant and disturbing.

The artist’s vision, embodied by the present work, uniquely and imaginatively re-contextualizes the canon of art history.

Untitled (Grey Dots), Jonas Wood’s simplified still life painting from 2010 depicts and objectifies his favoured subject matter, the plant. Muted tones are paired with dynamic shapes to present an image in fux, caught between the movement of leaves and the weight of the plant pot.

Inviting the viewer into his chosen space, Wood instils the work with a mirage of memory. Intensifying, whilst simultaneously reducing, a quotidian scene, the stylised composition presents the onlooker with Wood’s theatrical extremes of scale.

Geometrically arranged silhouettes appear to foat in time and space, devoid of context and perspective, the artist consciously bestrides modernist abstraction and fguration.

The simplifed composition of compressed forms invokes Alexander Calder’s abstractly geometric and dynamic mobiles.

Commenting on the artist’s influence and practice, Wood notes: ‘Calder would cut a shape out of metal, paint it bright yellow, attach it to a long stick, and hang it from the ceiling.

These New Plant paintings are exploring shape and repetition

UK_TCA DAY_MAR18_60-119.indd 94

in that same way – through suspension in space’ (Jonas Wood, quoted in Hammer Projects: Jonas Wood, exh. cat., Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, 2010, p. 7). Referencing the tonality rather than the subject matter through the works given title, Untitled (Grey Dots), the artist emphasises the importance of shape and colour over his preferred horticultural subject matter.

Like his artistic forbearers, the likes of David Hockney and Henri Matisse, Wood’s opus is committed to representing his surroundings, in particular familiar domestic spaces.

Like Hockney and Matisse before him Wood adopts an overtly fattened perspective. In the present composition his conscious choice of bold shapes emphasises the illusion of distorted space. Presenting an ostensibly flat plane, proportions and perspective become secondary to the illusionary and carefully composed work. Through his abstract interpretation of the familiar subject matter, the artist uncompromisingly permits the composition to evoke nostalgia, transporting the viewer into the tranquil landscape of interior scenery.

‘Fear is the reason for making art.

It is a means to freedom.’

Ilya Kabakov

Transporting the onlooker into an alternate reality, In the Park 1972, from 2002, condenses Ilya Kabakov’s continued preoccupation with presenting the deceptive and vulnerable nature of memory. A distinguished canvas, the present work was exhibited at Sean Kelly Gallery in Kabakov’s frst gallery exhibition of paintings in New York in 2008. A testament to his enduring legacy, the artist has recently been celebrated together with his wife - and collaborator - Emilia, at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D. C. and the Tate Modern in London.

Central to Kabakov’s oeuvre is the notion of memory and forgetting, commenting and reacting to the dogmatic rewriting of Soviet history that cultivated endless instability within the collective cultural memory. Merging memory with wistfulness, the artist engages with the pictorial and visual culture of the Soviet Union. Having grown up in the Soviet Union, his nostalgic canvasses serve as a portal, a means of escape from the standardised artistic norms of Soviet Realist propaganda and social restrictions imposed on Communist Russian society. With his controversial and thought-provoking artistic output, Kabakov is regarded as one of the leading creative theoreticians of the past three decades and a crucial fgure of Moscow Conceptualism, the prominent Russian art movement of the 1980s.

Presenting the viewer with a painterly and wholesome scene, a seemingly Russian landscape, the canvas is evocative of the homegrown Soviet Socialist Realist style. Kabakov takes established Soviet Realism as a starting point from which to depart, recalling the work of Aleksei Vasilev. The landscape is stripped of its traditional structure, deconstructing the pastoral scene as the artist ofers an alternate reading of the history of 20th century Russian art. Overpowering the plane with the

UK_TCA DAY_MAR18_60-119.indd 100

dark, geometric border, Kabakov juxtaposes the naturalistic with the abstract. Transient memories draw the viewer towards the artist’s contemplative realm whilst the gloom of the painted perimeter forces the viewer to reexamine the meaning of the traditional familial scene. Placing the pastoral scene within a new context, the artist carefully brings the modernist abstract qualities to the fore and elevates the canvas towards abstraction.

Challenging the traditional aesthetic, the work psychologically comments on the difculties and restrictions on creativity faced by the artist and his generation in the USSR. In its title, In the Park 1972 directly references the year of Alexei Kosygin’s 1972 Soviet economic reform. Whilst not explicitly citing the economic restructuring, the artist raises the issue of the reform which was never fully implemented. Purposefully presenting us with a seemingly idealistic landscape, Kabakov poignantly questions and decontextualizes the social structure of the Soviet society through his artistic medium and probes the controversial and critiqued nature of proposed and unsuccessful changes.

In In the Park 1972, the aesthetic roots of Soviet imagery are no longer grounded. Confronting the viewer with a paradox and building obstacles between the viewer and their perception, the artist underlines the challenging and controversial nature of publicised reality. Exploiting the fragility of memory, Kabakov references the impressionable and unreliable nature of recollection. Deconstructing preconceived artistic norms, the artist invites the viewer to engage in the reciprocal dialogue of his composition. Critiquing and commenting on Soviet society, its values and realities, Kabakov transforms a tranquil and rustic scene into a dimensional canvas of historical and political signifcance. In the Park 1972 is exemplary of Kabakov’s ability to question notions of perception and memory, juxtaposing art historical and familiar scenes with the future of the modernist model of creativity.

‘My work is to do with the fundamental agony of being human and the sense of confusion that comes with living in our society.’

Yue Minjun

Immediately humorous and instantly recognisable, Yue Minjun’s laughing characters have become internationally iconic and celebrated as a pinnacle cornerstone of contemporary Chinese art. Backyard Garden, painted in 2005, is exemplary of Yue’s signature satiric self-portraits, depicted in his seminal realist style and intense colour palette. A leading fgure of the Chinese Cynical Realism movement, the present work depicts a solitary fgure, bent double laughing, both arms and legs supported by the rocky riverbank. Conveying a sense of unbridled emotion, Yue’s protagonists confront the viewer with their intense display of feeling, forcing the onlooker to delve deeper into the moment of hysteria presented before us.

In the present work, Yue’s fgure, with his raw pink skin and bared squared teeth, plunges the viewer into an uncanny microcosm whereby we are suspended in a familiar yet unrecognisable overly-hyped reality. Even though we usually associate laugher with mirth, in Backyard Garden the fgure’s laughter has become almost too much to physically bare.

Reduced to a primal state, bent over on all fours, the fgure has crumbled, doubled in laughter, his frenzied howling has almost turned to an unbearable state. The relentlessness of the fgure’s laughter has transposed his grin into a grimace, his convulsive joy has lef him crouched in pain. This ambiguity emphasises the farcical nature of the scene; Yue’s character has become ridiculous, his laughter bitter sweet. The dichotomy between laughter and sorrow is bridged in the present work, rendering a deeply psychological and emotive reading of the unrestrained figure’s plight.

A defning member of the Cynical Realist movement, Yue’s canvasses convey a critical examination of China’s cultural history through his subtle and nuanced visual signifiers.

The rocky surface of the backdrop bears cultural resonance through its comparable aesthetic with the traditional Gongshi (Chinese Scholar’s Rocks), the rocks admired in Chinese literature, traditional art and philosophy which ofen adorn back gardens. Behind these stones a large expanse of water peacefully laps behind the fgure’s episode, conveying the dream-like, transitory nature of the scene. The heady sun overhead beats down on the figure, adding a sense of claustrophobia and intensity to the composition, burning the fgure’s already scorched pink skin. As the title implies, the viewer is aforded an intimate glimpse of a private scene, away from the peering eyes of the public. However, the juxtaposition between the rock surface and the swimming

UK_TCA DAY_MAR18_60-119.indd 104

pool-like background confuses the viewer, presenting competing locations and jarring the recognisability of the scene. Drawing upon traditional Chinese references, Yue incorporates elements of the vast wealth of Chinese culture, which have been embraced and conversely challenged at varying times during China’s history.

The sanitisation of personal identity during The Cultural Revolution in China and the erosion of free speech is addressed in Backyard Garden through the fgure. Baring a resemblance to the artist himself, the fgures in Yue’s paintings have become the artist’s caricature, a painterly alter ego. The repetition of the same fgure throughout his practice alludes to the systematic degradation of individual free speech. The fgure’s iconic laughing face conveys a cynicism of the system which has become ridiculous. Sufering from a sense of apathy, the only reaction Yue’s characters can muster is laughter, trying to make light of the deeply complex history which has had a tremendous efect on Chinese citizens and culture. Despite using himself as his main subject, his aim is not to create a self-portrait. As stated by Yue: ‘A caricature could express so much more humanity, and having decided that this would be my ultimate subject, why not create a caricature of myself to convey the stories I wanted to relate to’ (Yue Minjun, quoted in Karen Smith, ‘Yue Minjun by Himself’, Reproduction Icons: Yue Minjun Works, 2004-2006, exh. cat., He Xiangning Art Museum, Shenzhen, 2006, p. 20).

Thrusting the viewer into his jubilant scenes of unrestrained hilarity, Yue’s distinct painterly voice prompts all viewers of his work to question the relationship between laughing and crying. Ofen characterised as polar opposite states of being, Yue seeks to close the gulf between the two, making the onlooker question their own reactive emotions. The compressed face and animalistic stature of the figure indicates that he has been overcome with emotion, however the viewer is lef guessing as to what the source of his amusement is. Yue’s realist paint application, as well as his incorporation of a traditional Chinese backdrop, is an ode to Chinese history, drawing upon political posters and, conversely, traditional watercolours. Seemingly at odds with the cartoon element of his characterisation, Yue incorporates a complex web of connotations in his vibrant paintings, masterfully conveying the vast enormity of his country which is comprised of a rich tapestry of history, culture and individual voices and stories.

An internationally celebrated painter and leading artist of his generation, Yue Minjun remains one of China’s most progressive voices, as exemplified by the present lot.

‘I started working with the skull and crossbones around the time I moved to Manhattan.

The X was the simplest form of that. If I had to pare it down to the most recognizable point, it would be X - and I haven't gotten bored of it.

KAWS

Brooklyn-based artist KAWS re-appropriates bits of popular culture and transforms them into eye catching iconic sculptures and paintings. His cartoon characters, recognizable to the media savvy public, undergo a sardonic set of alterations.

Beginning his career in New York, he initiated his ‘forced collaborations’ by marking up fashion advertisements found in New York City phone booths, adding his own signature motifs to already existing photographic imagery and eventually expanding his practice to paintings and sculptures of varying sizes.

The present lot, Accomplice from 2010 stands at a towering height in a childlike pink hue and is skilfully accented with KAWS’ iconic white gloves and signature ‘X’ eyes. Drawing reference to a pink Bugs Bunny, he also adorned the fgure with a white bib, bow and cotton ball tail. Though visually

UK_TCA DAY_MAR18_60-119.indd 108

charming and simplistic, the process behind fabricating Accomplice is in fact quite complex, as he must translate his vision in the round, working in 3D modelling software.

Beginning as table top toys, KAWS explains that to him, toys were a way to enter into sculpture practice and, as he comments, ‘the only way I could see my work threedimensionally.’ (KAWS, quoted in Kathryn Branch, ‘The KAWS Efect,’ T Magazine, 7 June 2011) Blown up to life-size scale, the present lot playfully draws upon a connection to the art historical tradition of figurative sculpture, beginning with Egyptian sarcophagi. The resulting sculpture is an adultsized toy, injecting humour into more mature notions of life and death as signifed by the ancient symbols it recalls. The sculptural characters KAWS creates fuse childhood whimsy with a melancholic twist, as in the present lot, a beloved childhood cartoon suspiciously titled Accomplice.

Confronted by the cultural and physical landscape of Mexico City, Francis Alÿs literally began walking it, and these contemplative walks and poetic wanderings are his strategy to explore these complexities. An iconic motif for the artist, the Zócalo, Mexico City’s historic main square, was built over what was once the heart of the Aztec capital by the Spanish Conquistador Hernán Cortés to symbolize his triumph over the indigenous people. The Zócalo has since become a stage for demonstrations of power and public expression. Given the historical importance of this shared space, it is no surprise that the artist used this site as a backdrop for many of his most celebrated early works, such as Cuentos Patrióticos (Patriotic Tales) (1997), Zócalo (1999), and Sunpath, Mexico City (1999).

Alÿs realized that his work is a product of the interaction between reality and its record. This interaction is exemplifed in the present lot, Sunpath, Mexico City (1999), an exceptional installation and the only intact edition of the complete 24 photographs composing the project, juxtaposed with sunpath

UK_TCA DAY_MAR18_120-181.indd 135

diagrams. In each photograph, a shadow is cast from the towering central fagpole that displays the Mexican national fag, with people gathering in the shadow. Recalling a sundial, Sunpath, Mexico City meticulously documents the hustle and bustle of any normal day, between eleven o’clock in the morning and six o’clock in the afernoon, when the square is at its busiest. Yet bystanders are not simply taking refuge from the sun, but also ‘provoking a sculptural situation, through social encounter’ (Francis Alÿs and Cuauhtémoc Medina, eds. Francis Alÿs: a story of deception, exh. cat., Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2010, p. 100), indirectly informing us about the diferent times of day. Likewise, and ‘within this constant phenomenon of movement you also have moments of complete freeze’ (Matthew Crookes, ed., Artspace, New Zealand, 2008, p. 11) much like movies in the 1940s and 1950s. Ultimately, Sunpath, Mexico City, attests to the conceptual complexity that Francis Alÿs produces, evincing dialogues centered on acute observation, urban explorations and engagement with quotidian life.

The present work, a painterly synthesis on paper, is emblematic of Sigmar Polke’s experimental and multifarious oeuvre. Celebrated alchemist and master of materials, Polke has an investigative approach to creation which radiates from the surface of the sheet.

Through the present multi-faceted and gestural composition, the artist engages with varying modes of creation.

Stacking gestural strokes across the plane, the artist dissects the traditional relationship between fore- and background.

The metallic, painterly ground bleeds through from beneath the artist’s gestural intervention; through his alchemic experiments, Polke creates a mesmerisingly hallucinatory effect and challenges the truth of imagery. An absolute master of mediums, ‘Polke allowed materials to determine the process rather than the other way around, a strategy that can be seen as a means of removing subjectivity or the authorial power of the artist from the act of painting’ (Mark Godfrey, Alibis: Sigmar Polke 1963-2010, exh. cat., Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2014, p. 134).

Consistently unsettling and questioning preconceived notions of creation, the artist pushes the work towards the extremes of artistic production.

UK_TCA DAY_MAR18_120-181.indd 143

Alternating between the darker and worked painterly areas at the lower edge of the plane and the radiating, violet hues of the material ground, Polke instills the work with dynamism.

Emphasising the visual oscillation between the metallic ground and the artist’s meandering forms is the concentration and juxtaposition of the thick black and fner black shapes to the lower edge of the composition. Whilst abstract in form, the gestural lines and visual uncertainty of the plane provide the work with a symbolic quality. The hybrid and abstract nature of the composition and predominance of the linear forms evoke the arabesque-like whirls of Albert Oehlen, who studied painting under the tutelage of Polke at the Academy of Fine Arts, Hamburg, in the late 1970s. Each artist pioneered new methods of creation, experimenting with materials and engaging unusual forms of presentation. Both artists seek to explore the gestural and abstract nature of their composition whilst rebelling against the principal aesthetic of their respective times.

The present composition brings together varied chemicals from decades of unbounded experimentation with materials and media. Constantly re-evaluating pictorial possibilities, Polke’s diverse oeuvre – the product of his alchemic experimentation and international travels - has cemented the artist as a seminal fgure in the canon of post-war art.

Unnerving and intriguing, Thomas Schütte’s United Enemies (A play in Ten Scenes) is exemplary of the artist’s experiments with the expressive potential of the human form. From his series of sculptures and photographs concerned with mortality and the curiosity of humanity, the ghoul-like fgures dramatically present the distorted extremes of humanity. With exaggerated features and extravagant facial gestures, the fgures comment on the paradoxical nature of the human condition, channelling the 17th and 18th century fascination with the excesses of emotion and facial expression. The prints, based upon the sculptures, are exemplary of the interwoven nature of the artist’s multi-disciplinary and varied oeuvre. Formed in malleable Fimo polymer modelling clay, the artist dressed the modest figures in cloth before binding them together with cord. Placing each pair against a lit background, Schütte photographed the spirits before enlarging the image and creating his series of prints. The artist subsequently added a feck of white pigment to the iris of each eye, emphasising the intriguing hollowness of each haunting figure. In United Enemies: A Play in Ten Scenes, the artist builds cinematographic settings, choreographing a production of sorts with his puppet theatre arranged with lights and a stage.

Describing the forms as a ‘defnitive model for a permanent situation’ (Thomas Schütte, quoted in Hans Ulrich Obrist, ‘Reality Production: Thomas Schütte’, Mousse Magazine, no. 28, April–May 2011, online), the artist considered his United Enemies (A Play in Ten Scenes) an investigation into the novelty of relation and the interaction between friends and enemies. From another realm, yet formed to question the marvel of human existence, the inhuman fgures from Schütte’s whimsical oeuvre exude unnerving yet exuberant agony.

Having studied under Gerhard Richter and Fritz Schwegler at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Schütte became entwined in fundamental debates surrounding sculpture in the 1970s.

Following this, concerned with the legacies of conceptualism and minimalism, the artist studied classical sculpture in Rome, ascribing some of his inspiration to busts of Roman portraits in the Capitoline Museum. The ashen, hairless fgures presented in Schütte’s prints juxtapose the familiar and individual with the immense. Exuding mortality and packed with human expression, the present work explores symbolic artistic customs whilst interrogating the emotion of human relation.

With the opening of his landmark exhibition, Raymond: Pettibon: A Pen of All Work, in February 2017 at the New Museum, New York, Raymond Pettibon’s celebrated graphic works have been the focus of recent critical acclaim on an international platform. Cementing his profound exploration into the dynamics of text and image, Pettibon’s nuanced understanding of connotative linguistic devices and evocative imagery has resulted in his distinct aesthetic and iconic visual syntax, evident throughout his prolifc oeuvre.

Commencing his graphic work in the sixties, Pettibon’s aesthetic encapsulated the confrontational and disafected spirit of youth culture, specifically that of the Californian Punk scene. Working on zines, adverts and designing infamous album covers and posters for the band Black Flag, Pettibon’s witty, satirical and brash style courses with vital energy, incorporating a myriad cultural references.

The present works are exemplary of Pettibon’s complex collaging of cultural narratives and associations, ofering a biting critical reading of American history and culture.

The present work, a collaborative scene from Richard Deacon and Thomas Schütte’s Them and Us exhibition at Lisson Gallery in 1995, transports the viewer into the fantastical and dramatic realm of Deacon and Schütte’s artistic selfrefection. Whilst planning the show, the duo became engaged in extensive discourse concerning ‘scale, monuments, man and animal, man and man, man and light, space and colour and so on…’ (Thomas Schütte, quoted in Matthias Winzen, ed., Siemens Kulturprogramm, Ostfildern, 1997, p. 111). Twelve mythical scenes emerged from the artists’ imagination with Schütte’s rudimentary and mysterious spirits interacting with Deacon’s animal hair sculptures. Investigating the connection between man and his surroundings, each of Schütte’s

UK_TCA DAY_MAR18_120-181.indd 181

seemingly emotionless yet active fgurines is lef deliberately paired with Deacon’s tactile sculptures. Both fgures, each with undeveloped physiognomy and spherical form, reveal themselves as the intricate workings of the artist’s hand.

Explicitly forging boundaries through the divisive title Them and Us, the artists bring the perception of the relationship to the fore with the figures always relating ‘to their surroundings, to the space, to the viewer, to each other’ (Thomas Schütte, quoted in Matthias Winzen, ed., Siemens Kulturprogramm, Ostfldern, 1997, p. 111). Them and Us (X) studies the relationship between individuals and objects whilst simultaneously revealing the workings of Deacon and Schütte’s artistic introspection.
