KENOJUAK ASHEVAK ᑭᓄᔭᐊ ᐊᓯᕗ, CC, RCA (1927-2013), KINNGAIT (CAPE DORSET)

SUMMER OWL, 1979 lithograph; titled and dated; artist’s name in Roman and syllabics; proof; unframed sheet 22.25 x 31 in — 56.5 x 78.7 cm

PROVENANCE:

Private Collection, Vermont, USA

$2,000 — 4,000

NOTE:

Renowned for her images of birds, it is the owl for which Kenojuak is best known. Her celebrated “Enchanted Owl” has been the most famous and recognizable image in the Inuit art canon for decades, also holding the distinction of being the most expensive Inuit print ever sold at auction.

Owls never ceased to interest Kenojuak, who used them as a subject for over 100 different prints as well as original drawings. Her fantastical owls could be audacious, festive, preening, and often surrounded by brightly-hued plumage. Beginning in the early 1960s, Kenojuak introduced foliage to enhance her avian images, as seen here. In “Summer Owl,” the artist’s signature symmetrical composition is on display, both energetic and harmonious. For Kenojuak, form always took precedence, though she often explained that her main objective as an artist was to inspire happiness in her viewers—mission accomplished with this radiant print.

NOTE:

For Christopher Pratt, “boats symbolized the essence of Newfoundland and Labrador.” Though enraptured with boats from a young age, Pratt’s vessels are rarely depicted at ease in the water. The artist prefers to ground, hang, or overwinter them, removing them from of their natural surrounding and instead rendering them as abandoned, trapped or in waiting. Simultaneously serene and tense, “Launching Greyling” is quite literally in suspended animation, waiting to be launched.

Writing about a similar composition, Pratt explained that images like this “have less to do with sailing than with the boat itself: a sculpture, sleek and efficient, shark-like, hanging in straps being lowered into the water, suspended between the abstracts of conception, the mathematics of construction and reality at sea.

NOTE:

“The very word “Labrador” was magic to me when I was a child. That was before the Churchill Falls development or the iron mines. The tales I heard were of the coast, of heroism and hardship, of nature on a giant scale: a land where the fish were bigger, the icebergs massive, the storms unimaginable. Somehow, I felt that Newfoundland was the child of Labrador - the tail that wagged the dog. In geographical terms that is certainly true: here in St.

Mary’s Bay we live at a latitude south of Vancouver, yet we have plants and animals in common with the Arctic tundra. The Labrador current is a relentless flood of molten ice, the blood stream of our near subarctic climate.” in. Jay Scott and Christopher Pratt, The Prints of Christopher Pratt, 1958-1991, Catalogue Raisonné, Breakwater Books, St. John’s, Nfld., 1991, page 47, reproduced in colour.

Yue Minjun’s grinning self-portrait may well be the most recognizable image in contemporary Chinese art. The repetition of his pink face with its toothy, double-wide smile allows Yue to play with ideas of mass production and mechanical reproduction in the present consumerist culture, while also self-examining through a lens of cynicism and cartoonish exaggeration. Yue is known for manipulating images from the Western canon as well as well-known works of Chinese visual culture, ranging from socialist propaganda to commercial art. Yue’s work has been subject to many interpretations, and the artist himself has said that “a smile doesn’t necessarily mean happiness, it could be something else.” The “Snatched Ecstasy” portfolio is set of 20 lithographs, six of which are on offer in Waddington’s Editions auctions. Each work is accompanied by a poem by Fernando Arrabal.

NOTE:

In 1985, Andy Warhol created a portfolio of ten works based on advertisements, known as the Ad Series. Produced only two years before Warhol’s death, the Ad Series was commissioned by Ronald Feldman of Feldman Fine Arts, who had worked with Warhol extensively throughout the 1980s. Warhol based these screenprints on well-known publicity images from the 1950s-1970s, choosing ones from Apple Computers, Mobilgas, Ronald Reagan for Van Heusen, Paramount, Judy Garland for Blackglama Furs, Chanel, Donald Duck for The New Spirit, Lifesavers, Volkswagen, and James Dean’s “Rebel Without a Cause.”

“Rebel Without a Cause” was released in 1955, a coming-of-age drama about intergenerational conflicts centring around rootless suburban teenagers. The film starred Dean alongside Sal Mineo and Natalie Wood. “Rebel Without a Cause” was released only a month after Dean’s death in a car accident in September 1955, and cemented his status as a major film star.

Warhol viewed Dean as an original figure of teenage fantasy, a figure which he uses to deconstruct the idea of fantasy itself. In his book “The Philosophy of Andy Warhol,” Warhol views Dean as a paragon (italics are the author’s own):

“So this means that “if you see a well-dressed person today, you know that they’ve thought a lot about their clothes and how they look.” And then that ruins it because you shouldn’t really be thinking about how you look so much […] So today, if you see a person who looks like your teenage fantasy walking down the street, it’s probably not your fantasy, but someone who had the same fantasy as you and decided instead of getting it or being it, “to look like it,” and so he went to the store and bought the look you both like. So forget it. Just think about all the James Deans and what it means.”

As with the other images in this series, Warhol is using Dean to comment on the seductive and illusory nature of advertising, which he understood to be an influential form of visual culture in its own right. Warhol’s great talent lay in distilling and reflecting specific cultural moments, often through the lens of celebrity and consumerism. He also successfully blurs the lines between fine art and mass media, as well as fine art and commerce.

For Warhol’s screenprint of “Rebel Without a Cause,” he took inspiration not from the American release poster, but from the Japanese version, transforming it through his use of an electrified red, black and green palette. Unlike in the original, Dean’s figure is repeated twice, perhaps a comment on the endless reproduction of mass media, or on Dean and his celluloid afterlife.

Of the ten images in the Ad Series, it is this image which has been the most manipulated, the most stylized, and the one pulled from the most foreign source. The majority of Warhol’s work focuses on American imagery, and so his use of this Japanese version of an American classic can be viewed as a comment on the universality of massmedia and the global creep of an increasingly hegemonic visual culture.

By the time he made his Ad series, Warhol had been making movies for decades. He knew the seductive power and alchemy of film. Of the power of movie stars, he wrote in 1975: “That screen magnetism is something secret—if you could only figure out what it is and how to make it, you’d have a really good product to sell.”

Looking at the screenprint of James Dean, it seems that by 1985, Warhol had figured it out, and had a really great product to sell.

Like Claude Monet settling into Giverny, David Hockney found his rural sanctuary in the Pays d’Auge in Normandy in 2019. He purchased property in a small village located very close to Beuvron-en-Auge, known as one of the most beautiful villages in France. Of the move, Hockney explained: “I came to Normandy because there are more flowers here.” His house, garden and surrounding countryside became the focus of his work, specifically his iPad drawings, which the artist had been working with for over ten years. The setting provided him with great inspiration, launching a project known as “A Year in Normandy.” Inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry—a 70-metre-long embroidery which tells the story of the conquest of England by William, Duke of Normandy in 1066—Hockney set out to capture the arrival of spring in Normandy through 100 images rendered on his iPad. Despite a global lockdown in March 2020, Hockney continued to make his drawings of the Pays d’Auge. The works he created are Impressionistic, capturing light and line with great assuredness.

The Prints of Alex Katz

The great genius of Alex Katz lies in his ability to simplify, removing the inessential while never losing either elegance or rigour. The critic John Russell, in his review of Katz’s 1986 retrospective at the Whitney Museum, wrote that “the paintings look easy, the way Fred Astaire made dancing look easy and Cole Porter made words and music sound easy, but don’t let’s be fooled. When it comes to the art that conceals art, Katz is right in there with those two great exemplars.”

Printmaking has complemented Katz’s painting practice for decades, and he views his works on paper as extensions of his works on canvas. Katz has spent much of his career thinking deeply about the elusive nature of what makes a great print, noting that “printmaking is a matter of producing the same image over and over, and the image able to stand up to that treatment isn’t easy to come by.”

EARLY YEARS

Though born in Brooklyn in 1927, Katz’s Russian émigré parents relocated to St. Albans in Queens in 1928. His parents were artistic, his mother Sima having performed in the Yiddish theatre in the Lower East Side. Katz was interested in art from a young age, and by 1946 had enrolled in The Cooper Union Art School in Manhattan.

After graduating in 1949, Katz was awarded a summer scholarship at the Skowhegan School for Painting and Sculpture in Maine. At Skowhegan, Katz was taught to paint from life, a departure from his training at Cooper Union, which emphasized painting from drawings. He has explained that the free-form method he learnt at Skowhegan gave him “a reason to devote my life to painting.”

Katz’s career took off early on, when he was still in his 20s. His first solo show was at the Roko Gallery in New York in 1954—though Katz declared it “a flop.” Katz spent the next five years working on small collages made with hand-colored paper, influenced by Matisse. This period helped Katz work out his personal style through the exploration of the elemental

forms and bright panes of flat colour that characterize his mature work.

In response to the hegemony of Abstract Expressionism which dominated Katz’s early years in the New York art world, Katz set himself the goal of creating “a new type of painting.” His aim was “a contemporary representational painting,” which led him to make a series of flat portraits. This body of work was shown at New York City’s Tanager Gallery in 1959. At the time, figuration and portraiture was considered regressive and out of fashion. Amanda Fortini, writing for a recent New York Times profile, writes that “in the wake of Abstract Expressionism, painting what was in front of him — his family, his friends, parties, beach scenes — was radical.”

PRINTMAKING

Katz began making prints as early as 1947, while still a student at Cooper Union. Linocuts and stencils were of early interest, as they allowed Katz to experiment with flatness and reduction. However, once he had matured his painterly abilities and was able to replicate these flat swaths of colour using paint on canvas, he abandoned printmaking for nearly a decade. When he returned to printmaking in 1965, it would mark the true debut of a prolific oeuvre of works on paper.

Over his career, Katz has worked with varied techniques, working in lithography, etching, aquatint, silkscreen, woodcut and linocut. Katz’s prints are closely linked with his paintings, developing alongside one another, and have been the subject of several dedicated exhibitions. Almost all of Katz’s prints are based on a painting. Katz explained in an interview that “I was trying to make prints that would take the place of ordinary reproductions. A reproduction never has the energy of a print. So I was using prints as genuine reproductions, so to speak—surrogate paintings. It seemed to me like a valid idea. I really don’t like printmaking for printmaking’s sake.”

Often, a single painting will inspire several prints, which vary as Katz experiments with colour and cropping. Accordingly, the prints can be seen as extensions of the paintings. Katz professes to enjoy the democratic nature of prints, particularly the idea that more than one person can own a single work. Printmaking, in Katz’s personal ideology is “a more international medium than painting because the standards are more objective, not so local… Fourteen people or fourteen institutions, can say this is the best print Picasso ever did, this is the second best, etcetera, and you get a surprising amount of agreement on these judgments. There’s a standard at work, whereas paintings and drawings are a little more elusive.” Katz has worked with some of the best printmakers working over the past few decades, and has paid careful attention to the history of printmaking as well as to the work of his peers. Katz cites ukiyo-e as an influence, especially the work of Kitagawa Utamaro. Ukiyo-e prints are characterized by their lightness, hedonism and joie de vivre, portraying the fleeting nature of pleasure and its pursuit. Ukiyo-e focused on pictures of brothels, actresses and courtesans in Edo, and particular detail was paid to their outfits and changing fashions. Detractors of Katz’s work will sometimes cite his depictions of fashion, style and a specific tranche of privileged American life as frivolous, but like ukiyo-e, it is precisely this presentation of the beautiful and idealized which makes it profound. Both Katz and Utamaro turned their gaze towards the poignant and transitory beauty of the everyday, chronicling specific moments, catching them almost wistfully, as if in amber. Katz does not seek to capture the dramatic or the rare, preferring the everyday world around him. When the artist was a teenager, his father said: “You know, Alex, you shouldn’t go looking for scenes. You should paint your own backyard.”

NOTE:

In “Olympic Swimmer,” it is the splash of water and the strong diagonal lines of blue which suggest motion. Some sources suggest that this might be a portrait of Ada, Katz’s wife and longtime muse, who has been present in the artist’s work since their meeting in October 1957. A profile of Ada in the New York Times remarks on her signature eyebrows, which set her apart from other subjects of Katz’s work. Ada recounts: “Elaine de Kooning said, ‘Oh, well, you paint Ada all the time because her face has an easy outline, and she never changes her hair or anything...Another time, she told me, ‘I’m looking at your face, and you and Harold Rosenberg”’ — the art critic — “‘are the only ones who have those thick eyebrows.’ I thought, Oh, my God, that was very funny.”

All lots will be offered and sold subject to the Conditions of Sale which appear in this catalogue as well as any Glossary and posted or oral announcements. By bidding at auction, bidders are bound by those Conditions and Glossary, as amended by any announcements or posted notices, which together form the contract of sale between the successful bidder (buyer), Waddington’s™ (auctioneer) and the consignor (seller) of the lot. Description or photographs of lots are not warranties and each lot is sold “as is” in accordance with the Conditions of Sale.

All of the items are to be considered, unless otherwise noted in the catalogue description or condition report, in good condition. The definition of “good” when used in reference to condition, describes an object as having had no major damage or repair but as with the nature of the material, may show minor surface wear, discolouration etc., which indicates the acceptable wear that the piece may acquire with age. If you are particular about minor flaws, you should have our staff answer any questions before bidding. Sizes are approximate. Frames on artwork are not included as part of purchase or condition. It is the sole responsibility of the bidder to inquire as to the condition of a lot before bidding. Condition reports are available upon request by phone, fax, email or in person. You are advised to make any requests well in advance of the sale.

Waddington’s charges a buyer’s premium of 23% on the hammer price up to and including $25,000 CAD. Hammer prices in excess of $25,000 CAD will be charged a buyer’s premium of 20%. Buyer’s premium and applicable Canadian taxes are added to the hammer price.

A charge of 13% HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) is applicable on the hammer price and buyer’s premium except for any items directly shipped from our premises out of Canada. In the case where purchases are shipped out of the province of Ontario, the HST or GST is charged based on the tax status of that province.

The auctioneers will not undertake packing or shipping. The purchaser must designate and arrange for the services of an independent shipper and be responsible for all shipping and insurance expenses. The auctioneers will, upon request, provide names of professional packers and shippers but will not be held responsible for the service or have any liability for providing this information.
