236 Robert Salmon (Anglo/American, 17751858) Harbor View with British Vessels Unsigned. Oil on canvas, 15 x 25 in. (38.1 x 63.5 cm), framed. Condition: Small puncture c.l., patch reinforcement, retouch, varnish inconsistencies, minor scattered losses, stretcher marks, surface grime. Provenance: Through a private collection, Ireland; Skinner, American & European Paintings, November 17, 2006, Sale 2340, Lot 139, to the current owner.
N.B. Salmon was born in Whitehaven, but little is known about him before his move to Liverpool in 1806. It has been surmised that given his knowledge of sailing and rigging, Salmon may have spent some of his early years at sea. Although a number of paintings, all showing Salmon’s mature style, predate the 1806 move, it was at this time that the artist began the formal inventory of his paintings. Most of the English harbor views were completed before Salmon moved to America in 1828—Salmon was driven to painting truthfully and without embellishment from life—although there are several English views from the 1840s. $4,000-6,000

288 Thomas Hart Benton (American, 18891975) Hudson River View, c. 1912 Signed “Benton� l.r. Oil on canvas, 10 3/4 x 10 3/4 in. (27.2 x 27.2 cm), framed. Condition: Subtle surface grime. Provenance: From the artist to his near neighbors, Morris and Victoria Zeitlin, Massachusetts, then by descent to the current owner.
N.B. Benton painted this oil on canvas in the summer of 1912 during his first year in New York City, when he was twenty-three years old. At this time, Benton had just returned from a trip to Paris, and the painting shows the influence of Paul CĂŠzanne and the Fauves. However, this view of the Hudson River is tempered by a flattening of form, indicative of the fact that Benton was becoming more interested in decorative patterns. This is an early work for Benton, who would emerge during the late 1920s as a leading figure of the Regionalist art movement. $30,000-50,000

Condition: Lined, retouch, craquelure, very minor paint losses, undergrid visible beneath the paint layer in thinly painted areas.
N.B. This is a monochromatic version of The Sibyl Returning to Tarquin that is now in the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. The two paintings are approximately the same size. Detroit’s painting was originally purchased for Wellesley College in 1880 and has been widely published, but the version at hand is relatively unknown. In The Digressions of V. (Houghton Mifflin Company, 1910), among his entries for 1876, Vedder mentions another “Drawing of the Cumaean Sibyl” which he describes as “a monochrome in brown -oil-colour. I wish it had been better, but she wanted it. Of course I greatly improved things in the picture I painted afterwards.” Although Vedder often listed the buyer of the paintings, in this case, unfortunately, he left that line blank. The consignor reports that the painting was acquired by her family at least 50 years ago from the collection of the Gillette family of Connecticut. $30,000-50,000

Slatkin Galleries, New York, in 1959, by the family of the current owner. N.B. The sculpture at hand is a bronze published by Ambroise Vollard during Maillol’s lifetime. Vollard created two different editions of Petite Flore Drapée. One was a numbered edition of six. These casts included foundry marks from Alexis Rudier, Florentin Godard, or Valsuani. The other edition, to which this sculpture belongs, did not include foundry marks, and the identity of the foundry or foundries is not known. Ambroise Vollard did not number the casts, and the edition size remains unknown. It is interesting to note that an early version of Petite Flore Drapée was carved c. 1901 in wood and is reproduced in John Rewald’s book, Maillol (London: The Hyperion Press, 1939), p. 126.

designs for Diaghilev and was hailed for her modern yet personal interpretation of eastern and Byzantine art. During this period Goncharova became more deeply involved with graphic design, illustrating musical scores, books, posters, and magazines. Her illustrations for Pushkin’s The Tale of Tsar Saltan were particularly noted for their fusion of contemporary styles with nostalgic imagery. In the early 1920s Goncharova was commissioned by Jacques Povolozky to design a poster to promote his FrancoRussian publishing house and bookshop in Paris. In her preparatory drawings, Goncharova represented two traditionally garbed Russian maidens reading Povolozky books beneath an arch of foliage. The drawing at hand is a preparatory study for that poster. $15,000-20,000

355 Florine Stettheimer (American, 1871-1944) Floral Still Life Monogrammed “FS” l.r., identified on labels from Richard L. Feigen & Co., New York, and the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, affixed to the frame backing. Oil on canvas, 25 3/8 x 25 3/8 in. (64.5 x 64.5 cm), framed. Condition: Lined, new stretcher, retouch, scattered areas of craquelure. Provenance: A Rhode Island estate. Exhibitions: 1900 to Now, Modern Art from Rhode Island Collections, Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, Rhode Island, January 22–May 1, 1988, illustrated p. 63 of exhibition catalog.
N.B. Florine Stettheimer is an artist’s artist, a painter, designer, and poet. Born in Rochester, New York, into a wealthy, intellectual German banking family, Florine spent her childhood in Europe. She studied at the Art Students League of New York from 1892 to 1895, then returned to Europe where she lived with her mother, Rosetta, and two sisters (Caroline and Henrietta) until the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Financially independent, Florine Stettheimer did not need to sell her works. While she exhibited periodically at the Society of Independent Artists and the Whitney, she had only one one-woman show during her lifetime. This was held in 1916 at Knoedler & Co., and featured high-keyed works inspired by Matisse. None of the twelve works in the show sold, and she chose not to go this route again. She had no taste for publicity, and did not relish participating in exhibitions. Instead, she showed her paintings primarily through the salons that she and her sisters, known as “The Stetties,” held in their apartment on West 58th Street in New York. Their lifestyle became legendary, with Florine painting, Carrie decorating an enormous dollhouse (now in the Museum of the City of New York), and Ettie writing fiction. Their salons brought together an elite intellectual circle of artists, poets, and actors of the day, including Marcel Duchamp (of whom Florine painted several portraits), Zorach, Archipenko, Picabia, Lachaise, O’Keeffe, and art critic Henry McBride. Florine Stettheimer had wide ranging interest in art from many periods including Japanese prints, Persian miniatures, and early Renaissance paintings, which share an emphasis on decorative schemes of color, pattern, and rhythm. She used bold color, faux-naïve style, and inventive compositions as she developed her highly personalized, mature style. In 1917 she painted Sunday Afternoon in the Country, a pivotal work now in the collection of The Cleveland Museum of Art.
The scene depicts a weekend picnic at the family’s country home on the Hudson River and is typical of the narrative aspects of her work. The artist shows herself in the upper right, working at her easel, while in the foreground at lower left photographer Edward Steichen is photographing Marcel Duchamp, with Florine’s sister Ettie standing behind him with her arms outstretched. Florine Stettheimer did not feel restricted by the boundaries of two-dimensional art. In 1934 she designed avant-garde costumes and sets for the opera Four Saints in Three Acts, with a libretto by Gertrude Stein and music by Virgil Thomson, perhaps finding inspiration from time spent in Paris (1912) where she experienced the excitement of Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes. She also wrote poetry that some have compared to Emily Dickinson, with their richly imaged inner solitude. After her mother died in 1935, the Stettheimer household broke up. Florine lived alone at her studio and home at 8 West 40th Street and devoted herself to her art. Among other important work, she completed the series of four paintings known as the Cathedrals series, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art: Cathedrals of Broadway (1929), Cathedrals of Fifth Avenue (1931), Cathedrals of Wall Street (1939), and Cathedrals of Art (1942-44). At the time of her death in 1944, most of Florine Stettheimer’s paintings were still in the possession of her family. Ettie Stettheimer donated works to many museums, and two years after her death, a large retrospective was held at the Museum of Modern Art. $75,000-100,000

N.B. Textile and clothing designs by Constructivist artist Varvara Fedorovna Stepanova are documented starting from the early 1920s. At the First State Textile Printing Factory, she designed more than 150 different fabrics, with about two dozen being put into factory production. She sought a new philosophy of fabric design, in which the artist was not simply a decorator of the fabric, but was involved in developing new dyeing processes, new fabric structures, and new materials for fabrics, to put into practice the slogan “art into production.” In her textile designs, Stepanova selected only one or two colors and used geometric forms of the circle, triangle, and rectangle, often combined in layers, as building blocks of the complex-looking designs. The points of intersection of the geometric forms were left as either white or the color of the paper or ground. The fabric designs at hand, if dated 1917, would be very early examples of Stepanova’s work. The stamp on the reverse of the works appears to be from a fashion design atelier in Milan, Antoniozzi Lombi Giuliana. For a full discussion of the artist’s work and life, please consult Alexander Lavrentiev, Varvara Stepanova, The Complete Work (Cambridge, Massachusetts: The MIT Press, 1988). $2,000-3,000

Oil on canvas, 70 x 80 in. (177.8 x 203.2 cm), framed. Condition: Good.
N.B. Michael Mazur’s career was filled with critical acclaim and admiration for his paintings, pastels, monotypes, and prints. In his Stoneham Zoo series, Mazur revisited the themes of confinement and captivity, difficult content which he had expressed so powerfully in the Closed Ward series (1962-62). In a 1993 interview with the Archives of American Art, Mazur said, “I decided to do some work on the monkey cages at Stoneham Zoo, which were very depressed and reminded me of the mental hospital. It was a strange return to the hospital work via the world of animals. Telling the story of captured animals became important.” Through this series the artist continued to present the effects of society on the individual, communicated in stark beauty in the expressive brushwork and subdued palette that were his hallmarks. $4,000-6,000

Whatman laid paper, the latter on wove paper, plate size 7 x 12 in. (17.6 x 30.4 cm), unmatted, unframed.

N.B. According to Paff this same bird was used in the 1915 etching Old Squaws. While twenty-five impressions of Little Old Squaw were pulled, they were never offered for sale.

Conditions of Sale 1. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Skinner, Inc. below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event and whether or not a lot is subject to a reserve, the auctioneer may reject any bid or raise not commensurate with the value of such lot. 2. All property is sold “as is,� and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability. 3. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale. The auctioneer shall have sole discretion to refuse any bid, or refuse to acknowledge any bidder. Any bidder that plans on spending in excess of $100,000 should make arrangements with the accounting department at least five (5) days in advance of the sale, as a deposit may be required to participate. 4. All merchandise purchased must be paid for and removed from the premises the day of the auction. Skinner Inc. may impose, and the purchaser agrees to pay, a monthly interest charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any lot or item lot not paid for within thirty-five (35) days of the date of sale. Skinner, Inc. shall have no liability for any damage or loss to property left on its premises for more than three (3) days from the date of sale.

In no event will the liability of Skinner, Inc. to any purchaser with respect to any item exceed the purchase price actually paid by such purchaser for such item. 8. Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Upon request, our staff will provide the list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots. 9.

Dealers, museums, and other qualifying parties may be exempt from sales tax upon submission of proper documentation. 10.
