Morris’s emphasis was on architecture and still life, but unlike the work of Walker Evans, which provides a formal description of American vernacular structures, Morris photographed farms and homesteads that were fading into the past. Although they are mostly without human subjects, his images offer evidence of bad luck, failure, misplaced faith, tenacity, and human fallibility. As he wrote after a cross-country journey in 1938, “I saw the American landscape crowded with ruins I wanted to salvage.”1 100

N.B. Minor White is revered as one of the masters of photographic modernism. He photographed subjects not only for what they represented but also for what they suggested, making images rich with symbolic and metaphorical allusions. White developed sequences, including Sound of One Hand and Steely the Barb of Infinity, to underscore the meditative possibilities of reading photographs as a path to spiritual self-knowledge. “Sequences originate for me from some hidden place,” White observed. “Though I habitually play photographs against each other, or words against images in pairs, triplets, or rows of four with expectations of magic, sequences originate from within. And I prefer to let them. In fact I cannot seriously do otherwise than photograph on impulse and let whatever words will, flow spontaneously” (http://www.photoquotes.com/showquotes. aspx?ID=25&name=White,Minor#ixzz51LTF K4T7). $1,000-1,500

278 Saliba Douaihy (Lebanese, 1915-1994) The Steppes of Lebanon Signed “S. Douaihy” l.l. Oil on canvas, 19 3/4 x 25 3/4 in. (50.0 x 65.5 cm), unframed. Condition: Unstretched, craquelure, flaking with paint losses l.c., rippling. Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist at his home in Windham, New York, in the late 1970s. Literature: Robert Wihbey, Saliba Douaihy, Artist, In Celebration of 100 Years (Springfield, MA: Saliba Douaihy Foundation, 2015), illustrated p. 21. N.B. After studying art in Paris, Saliba Douaihy returned to his home country of Lebanon in 1936 where he settled in Beirut. He worked on landscapes, portraits, and scenes of everyday life, often painting en plein air in the valleys and mountainous villages outside of the city. It was during this period that he likely painted The Steppes of Lebanon. In 1950, at the height of Douaihy’s career, the Lebanese president selected the artist as a cultural ambassador for Lebanon to the United States and Mexico. Douaihy then settled in New York City and worked in a variety of media, including stained glass. He also discovered the works of contemporary American abstract artists, including Mark Rothko, Hans Hofmann, and Ad Reinhardt, which influenced him to move away from his earlier academic style in favor of minimalist abstract paintings. By the end of the 1950s, Douaihy had turned entirely to the flat monochromatic forms, fine lines, and sharp edges that are evident in Lot 413. After a oneman show in 1966 at the Contemporaries gallery in New York City, Douaihy gained recognition as an abstract artist and his work was included in major museum exhibitions. Douaihy’s œuvre can be divided into three distinct genres: his early paintings of the Lebanese landscape and people, including the present lot; a series of ecclesiastical stained glass windows and murals that he completed for Maronite Churches in the United States and Lebanon; and the bright, minimalist abstract works, of which Lot 413 is a stunning example, that were his focus from the 1960s through the end of his career. We are fortunate to have examples from two of these genres included in this sale.

279

The Saliba Douaihy Foundation dates this work to the late 1930s or early 1940s, painted in Douaihy’s Beirut, Lebanon, studio. A copy of Saliba Douaihy Artist, In Celebration of 100 Years, signed by the author and numbered “80/100,” accompanies the lot. The proceeds from the sale of this work will contribute to the creation of a lifesized statue of Saliba Douaihy in his hometown of Ehden, Lebanon. $20,000-40,000

She was the daughter of a Polish aristocrat and married to a Russian officer, Baron Otto von Oettingen. Assuming male pseudonyms, Hélène wrote novels under the nom de plume of Roch Grey and poetry as Léonard Pieux. She also had a passion for painting, influencing and influenced by the avant-garde movements of Cubism and Futurism, signing her works as François Angiboult. Hélène organized soirées in Montparnasse which brought together figures of the French and Russian avantgarde including Apollinaire, Archipenko, Henri Rousseau, Léger, Modigliani, Vlaminck, and Zadkine. She is said to have taught Russian to Picasso and sat for portraits by Modigliani and Léopold Survage. Hélène’s many facets as artist and catalyst were thoughtfully chronicled by Jeanine Warnod in her book Chez la Baronne d’Oettingen, Paris russe et avantgardes (1913-1935) (Paris: Edition de Bonti, 2008).

375 Newell Convers Wyeth (American, 18821945) Wallace Draws the King’s Sword Signed “NCWyeth” u.r., identified in a presentation plaque and on a label from Scribner’s Magazine, New York, affixed to the reverse. Oil on canvas, 40 x 32 in. (101.5 x 81.0 cm), in a Foster Brothers frame. Condition: Minor canvas rippling to upper corners, scattered small abrasions, surface grime. Provenance: Collection of Charles Scribner’s Sons; by descent within the family of the publisher to the current owner.

146

N.B. N.C. Wyeth is one of America’s greatest and best-loved illustrators, as well as an accomplished easel painter. With Massachusetts roots, Wyeth first studied art at the Massachusetts Normal Art School (today’s Mass College of Art) and with Eric Pape and Charles W. Reed. However his most impactful mentor was Howard Pyle, with whom he studied during 1902-1904 in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. Pyle urged his students to “jump into” their illustrations, enlivening their compositions with a vigorous style and sense of drama, while always adhering to the highest craftsmanship. Wyeth embodied this advice throughout his remarkable career. He sold his first illustration to the Saturday Evening Post in 1903 at 21 years of age and went on to create nearly 4,000 illustrations for the magazine. In 1911 he accepted his first book commission from Charles Scribner, to illustrate Treasure Island, a tremendous success leading to work on a whole range of adventure books including Kidnapped, Robin Hood, Robinson Crusoe and The Last of the Mohicans, which came to be known as Scribner’s Classics, many still in print today. These illustrations defined the image of the brave and adventurous hero for generations of young readers, and it has been suggested that the illustrations became the inspiration for many of the current cinematic heroes such as Indiana Jones.

Wyeth’s illustrations for The Scottish Chiefs were created c. 1921, for the first edition of Jane Porter’s book. The painting being offered at Skinner has been in private hands since that time, and descended in the Scribner family. The scene depicts a pivotal moment in the life of Sir William Wallace, a Scottish knight and leader during the Wars of Scottish Independence, who defeated an English army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in September 1297. The dramatic scene shows Wallace, faced with the splintering alliance and betrayal of fellow Scottish chieftains who mean to take him prisoner, drawing the sword he had captured from Edward I at Stirling and shouting, “He that first makes a stroke at me shall find his death on this Southron steel! This sword I made the arm of the usurper yield to me; and this sword shall defend the regent of Scotland.” In addition to Jane Porter’s narrative, Wallace’s life was retold in Blind Harry’s 15th-century epic poem The Wallace, in works by Sir Walter Scott, and more recently in the Academy Award-winning film Braveheart (1995). The lot is accompanied by a 1931 edition of The Scottish Chiefs written by Jane Porter and illustrated by N.C. Wyeth, in which the painting is reproduced on page 318. $150,000-250,000

406 Sam Gilliam (American, b. 1933) Yellow Fan-White Float Signed, dated, and titled “Sam Gilliam 73...” on the reverse. Acrylic on canvas with beveled edge, 59 1/2 x 70 1/2 in. (151.0 x 179.0 cm), framed. Condition: Drying cracks in areas of thicker paint, surface grime. Provenance: A Rhode Island collection. N.B. Born in Mississippi and raised in Kentucky, Sam Gilliam moved to Washington, DC, after graduating from college. By the 1960s, he had established himself as a member of the Washington Color School, alongside painters Kenneth Noland and Thomas Downing. Gilliam’s experiments with paint application and his transformation of the canvas support elaborated upon the ideas and processes of Color Field painting.

Between 1967 and 1973, Gilliam focused on two series of works, one he called “Bevelededge” or “Slice” paintings, the other he called “Drape” paintings. The present lot is a perfect example of a Beveled-edge work. For these paintings, he began by pouring acrylic paint (sometimes diluted) directly onto unprimed, unstretched canvases or by soaking the canvases in the paint, similar to techniques used by Helen Frankenthaler and Morris Louis. He would then manipulate the wet canvas— by folding, crumpling, hanging, or even shaking—to transform the washes of color into layers of ridges, grooves, drips, and pools of pigment. He achieved depth by layering the paint and building up the surface with a variety of textures. Finally, when the paint was dry, Gilliam stretched the canvases onto custom-made stretchers with beveled edges. When hung, the beveled edges projected the works off of the wall and towards the viewer, removing the image from the flat, twodimensional plane of traditional painting and into the viewer’s physical space. By varying his pouring and soaking techniques, Gilliam created a variety of compositional forms, ranging from vertical columns of color, to collage-like layers of diagonal folds, to radial bursts of light, all of which were shaped by a combination of carefully controlled processes and actions and by the inevitable element of chance.

The Drape paintings were made in much the same way; however, for these, Gilliam skipped the final step of stretching the canvases, and instead hung them from walls and ceilings without frames or supports, either draping, folding, or tying the final product. The Bevelededge and Drape paintings were the focus of Gilliam’s first New York solo gallery show in 32 years, at Mnuchin Gallery in the fall of 2017. Still working on Drape paintings today, Gilliam created the huge Yves Klein Blue for the 2017 Venice Biennale. The work took center stage, hanging above the entrance to the exhibition’s Central Pavilion. This was not the first time Gilliam participated in the Venice Biennale, he had also contributed to the American Pavilion in 1972. His works have been exhibited widely in galleries and museums worldwide. Upcoming exhibitions include The Music of Color: Sam Gilliam, 1967–1973 at the Kunstmuseum Basel, June 9–September 30, 2017 and Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, February 3–April 23, 2018 and the Brooklyn Museum, September 7, 2018–February 3, 2019. $80,000-120,000

412 Larry Zox (American, 1937-2006) Rotation in Yellows Signed, dated, and titled “ZOX/1964/...” on a label affixed to the stretcher. Acrylic on canvas, 54 1/2 x 63 1/2 in. (138.4 x 161.3 cm), unframed. Condition: Tear repaired u.l., retouch. Provenance: Acquired from the artist by a Metropolitan Opera singer, New York; to the current private collection. N.B. Often associated with the New York Color Field or Minimalist painters of the 1960s and 1970s, Larry Zox’s works of that era explored asymmetry rather than the rigid compositions of his contemporaries. From 1962 to 1965, Zox produced his Rotation series. The first works in this series were plywood and Plexiglas reliefs with dynamic geometric forms. Zox soon turned to using the same shapes in paintings, with white negative spaces placed between the vibrantly colored polygons. The inscription and label on Rotation in Yellows indicate that the work should hang vertically; however, most works from the series are oriented horizontally, as we have presented the painting here. $5,000-7,000 412

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.
