N.B. In the late 1930s and 1940s the novelist Wright Morris made beautiful and poignant photographs exploring the rural culture of the American countryside. 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

Provenance: A private Massachusetts collection.

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

N.B. Hélène, La Baronne d’Œttingen, flourished in the avant-garde culture in Paris in the early 20th century. 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). Further information on the artist may be accessed at http://www.artrz.ru/search/ Angiboult/1804787714.html. $4,000-6,000

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.

Additional information and photos at www.skinnerinc.com

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

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. If any property has not been removed within three (3) days from the date of sale, at the option of Skinner, Inc. (a) Skinner Inc., may impose, and the purchaser agrees to pay, a monthly storage charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any lot or portion of a lot not removed within the three days, and/or (b) Skinner Inc. may place the merchandise in a subsequent auction, without Reserve, to be sold to the highest bidder, and after deducting the standard commission and any additional charges that may apply, remit the proceeds to the purchaser.

5. Skinner accepts cash or check for payment. Personal checks will be acceptable only if credit has been established with Skinner, Inc. or if a bank authorization has been received guaranteeing a personal check. Skinner, Inc. reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal check until the check has cleared the bank.

The purchaser agrees to pay Skinner, Inc. a handling charge of $25.00 for any check dishonored by the drawee. Please contact Accounting for additional payment methods. Skinner does not accept payment by credit card for merchandise purchases.

6. If the purchaser breaches any of its obligations under these Conditions of Sale, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price of all items for which it was the highest successful bidder, Skinner Inc. may exercise all of its rights and remedies under the law including, without limitation, (a) canceling the sale and applying any payments made by the purchaser to the damages caused by the purchaser’s breach, and/or (b) offering at public auction, without reserve, any lot or item for which the purchaser has breached any of its obligations, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price, holding the purchaser liable for any deficiency plus all costs of sale.

7. 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. Sales in Massachusetts, Florida, and New York are subject to the respective current sales taxes. Dealers, museums, and other qualifying parties may be exempt from sales tax upon submission of proper documentation.

10. A premium equal to 23% of the final bid price up to and including $100,000, plus 20% of the final bid price from $100,001 up to and including $1,000,000, plus 12% of the final bid price from $1,000,001 and over will be applied to each lot sold, to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price.

11. Bidding on any item indicates your acceptance of these terms and all other terms printed within, posted, and announced at the time of sale whether bidding in person, through a representative, by phone, by Internet, or other absentee bid.

The buyer/bidder agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this agreement may be brought, and any action against Skinner in connection with the transactions contemplated by this agreement shall be brought, in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any federal court sitting therein. The bidder/buyer consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waives objections that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit.
