Brandywine Museum Of Art To Present

“Jamie Wyeth: Unsettled”

Chadds Ford, Pa., Will Be The First Of Four Stops For Exhibition

Running now until June 9 at the Brandywine Museum of Art, “Jamie Wyeth: Unsettled” will trace a persistent vein of intriguing, often disconcerting imagery over the career of renowned artist Jamie Wyeth (b. 1946). This major exhibition, organized by the Brandywine and five years in the making, will feature more than 50 works drawn from museum and private collections across the country that focus on the artist’s arresting, visceral imagery, revealing fascinating insight into Wyeth and the art of visual storytelling. “Unsettled” will be on view at Brandywine in Chadds Ford, Pa., before traveling to four additional art museums around the United States.

experience that both engages and upsets visual and emotional equilibrium.”

A celebrated figure in contemporary art and fiercely independent in the face of prevailing art world trends, Jamie Wyeth stands apart in a shadowy and strange world of his own creation. While frequently countered and even hidden by the artist’s fuller body of work, particularly his well-known coastal views, farmscapes, and portraits, a consistent thread of darker, more troubling imagery has been a constant in the artist’s work over the past 60 years. His work has evolved from the ultra-realistic visions and virtuoso brushwork of his youth

“Jamie Wyeth is a renowned American painter who has created his own legacy and redefined what it means to be a Wyeth. This exhibition takes a fresh look at the artist’s oeuvre and with remarkable nuance plumbs a rich vein of the uncanny throughout Wyeth’s six-decade career,” said Thomas Padon, the James H. Duff Director of the Brandywine Museum of Art. “As the title suggests, ‘Unsettled’ focuses on a single through line in Wyeth’s work, one in which ominous stillness, postapocalyptic skies, frightening shifts in scale, and strange vantage points seem to highlight the vulnerability of the human condition. With his startling compositions and a masterful use of media, color and texture, Wyeth creates an immersive, synesthetic

into a mature expressionism in which intense color and dramatic paint handling electrify his canvases. As this exhibition will reveal, in each of these stages of his career Wyeth is at home with uneasy subjects and a master of the unsettled mood.

“Across the decades, Wyeth has honed his attention onto unnerving phenomena, zeroed in on uncanny experiences, and delved into a world of unsettling imagery,” said Amanda C. Burdan, Ph.D., senior curator at Brandywine and curator of the exhibition. “With consummate skill, marshaling a wide range of disconcerting elements, subjects, compositional approaches and techniques, within his works, Wyeth has developed skillful, cinematic evocations that can induce anxiety in the viewer.”

“Unsettled” begins with a presentation of eccentric portraits that illustrate Wyeth’s most powerful means of evoking disquieting moods, like the subjects in “Bean Boots” (1985), or the figures left partially hidden, such as in “Record Player” (1964) and “Other Voices, Study #1” (1995). The

exhibition continues by immersing viewers into natural and supernatural worlds, from works inspired by the artist’s time spent in Maine, which frequently acknowledge the power of the sea and its fearsome ability to render humans helpless, to forest-based works from Pennsylvania that delve

Portfolio From Abbey Road’s Cover Shoot And John Lennon’s Copy Of The White Album Led Auction

The auction, titled The Beatles, ‘Coming to America’ 60th Anniversary Music Memorabilia Signature Auction was rich in music and memorabilia that spanned the band’s career and bookended a trajectory, starting with an encounter on their first flight to America in 1964 (en route to Ed Sullivan) all the way to 1975 and their last known sign-off on a record contract (the last time their signatures are in one place), as well as a copy of the White Album once owned by John Lennon and an original set of seven chromogenic color prints of the Beatles’ Abbey Road album cover photo session.

Tied for that top-selling spot at $162,500 was a copy of the White Album (that other desert-island Beatles fave) once owned by John Lennon. Most of the low-numbered copies of the White Album were owned by people with personal connections to the band. Lennon owned this copy and gifted it to Les Anthony, who was at the time

Tied as the top seller in the event was a true rarity, “Abbey Road,” the album, is for many aficionados the true desert-island keeper amongst the Beatles’ albums, and for the album’s cover shoot the bandmates took a casual stroll across the road along what England calls a “zebra crossing.” The extraordinary portfolio of seven color photographs by Iain MacMillen came from that momentous photo shoot and brought $162,500. The photos, of course, show the Fab Four at the most storied location of the band’s history, Paul sans shoes, and were assembled as a very limited edition. “While the secondary market shows several single prints from the portfolio, sales of complete sets are virtually unknown, much less

The Met Highlights 19-Century American Literary Posters In New Book And Exhibition

Museum’s Collection Of 500 Literary Posters Developed Over Four Decades Through The Vision And Support Of Leonard A. Lauder

During

a new type of poster emerged in the United States, one that more closely resembled a work of art than an advertisement. These sleek, sophisticated posters publicized magazines, newspapers, books, and other forms of literature. On view at

of Art through June 11, “The Art of the Literary Poster: Works from the Leonard A. Lauder Collection” will present more than 50 highlights from the museum’s outstanding collection of some 500 works, developed over four decades through the vision and support of Leonard A. Lauder. The exhibition will mark the occasion of the

publication of “The Art of the Literary Poster: The Leonard A. Lauder Collection.” Featuring 135 full-page color plates, the book will offer new scholarship that approaches literary posters from the perspectives of visual culture, the professionalization of women artists, marketing psychology, and technique. Additionally, a related webpage will allow viewers to digitally browse The Met’s literary poster collection. The exhibit is at The Met Fifth Avenue, Robert Wood Johnson Jr. Gallery, Gallery 690.

“Nineteenth-century American literary posters stood at the vanguard of modern commercial art and

graphic design, as vibrantly captured through this important catalogue and installation,” said Max Hollein, The Met’s Marina Kellen French Director and Chief Executive Officer.

“Leonard A. Lauder, one of the great collectors and philanthropists of our time, has long championed this genre, appreciating the literary posters for their historical value and sheer beauty. We are grateful for the time, energy, and expertise that he has devoted to developing The Met’s collection of these works, ever since his first donation of posters to the museum in 1984.” “The Met’s superb collection of American literary posters would not exist without the vision, determination, and generosity of Leonard A. Lauder. Several decades ago, he astutely recognized that posters of this type belonged in a great public institution, and since then he has developed and shaped the collection into what it is today. We are pleased to offer the museum’s audience a lively publication and installation to experience these works, as well as a complementary website providing invaluable access to the entire literary poster collection,” said Allison Rudnick, associate curator in The Met’s Department of Drawings and Prints. “These posters represent a pivotal moment in American graphic design and visual culture. Their power, aesthetic sophistication, and wit continue to enthrall us, even in the image-saturated world we live in today,” stated Mr. Lauder. “Viewing them at The Met allows visitors to see the interplay of this powerful medium with art and design

from different eras and cultures.” Over the course of the 19th century, innovations in printing techniques enabled the production of multicolored posters that seamlessly integrated text with image. Before 1890, posters tended to be produced by large printing firms with little regard for aesthetic value. By contrast, literary posters were frequently printed by the issuing publishing houses, where art department staff could ensure a higher-quality product. They were also designed by the top illustrators of the day who drew on the latest stylistic trends such as Art Nouveau and the Arts and Crafts movement to create elegant,

Collector Chats With Peter S. Seibert This Week: Estates: Dreams And Nightmares

By Peter Seibert

SAY YOU SAW IT HERE!

Most of us, at various points, are called upon to advise, often as an executor, for an estate. Even if it is not our own family, people in the antiques world often find themselves tagged for advice about what to do with family treasures. While there are a myriad of topics that can come up in regard to estates, the one that I always dread is when the family believes, because their deceased family member told them so, that a certain object or collection is worth a fortune.

Now of course, there are some collections that do tend to be worth a lot.

“Antiques Roadshow” is filled with trash-to-treasure stories of family heirlooms that are wonderful. But what viewers don’t see are the vastly larger group of people who have family items that turn out to be worth very little. How come?

First is the belief that because things are old, they must be valuable. I call this family Bible syndrome. “I have a family Bible from back in the 1800s, and that must be worth a lot!” Well, so did everyone else, and that makes family Bibles not too high on the intrinsically valuable meter unless they are by a very rare printer or were hand illuminated.

Second is that the elderly owner was told by their friend/neighbor/college roommate that their treasure is valuable. I have seen this

happen over and over again. Sadly, the “local expert” is generally not there when it comes to putting money where their mouth is. When they say, “My neighbor said he would give me $500 for this item, so why can’t you,” I really want to tell them to run as fast as they can to find that neighbor and take their $500, because the item is not worth that much.

Third is that the owner who purchased a particular collectible based on marketing and media hype believed that it could only grow in value. Regular readers have heard me expound upon this kind of deceptive buying. The reality is that such speculative buying of collectibles and “future antiques” rarely if ever results in a profit. More often than not, it results in a loss.

While all of these are tough

conversations with anyone in the general public, you can effectively double the tension on this when you factor in a family’s grief at the loss of a loved one. Thus you are having to explain this to a tearful family member whose grandmother bought limited-edition collectibles which their neighbor said were worth a fortune and are now valueless. Or that the cracked Victorian era bowl, while old, is probably best only for feeding a cat.

Estates are tough on families. Death is tough enough, but the business after death is even harder. For those of us in the antiques trade, we need to remember that and learn to have the patience and kindness needed in dealing with bereavement. And for the family, it is a lesson to be learned about doing estate planning in advance and

perhaps not listening to the neighbors so intently.

“Born to collect” should be the motto of Peter Seibert’s family. Raised in Central Pennsylvania, Seibert has been collecting and writing about antiques for more than three decades. By day, he is a museum director and has worked in Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Virginia and New Mexico. In addition, he advises and consults with auction houses throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, particularly about American furniture and decorative arts. Seibert’s writings include books on photography, American fraternal societies and paintings. He and his family are restoring a 1905 arts and crafts house filled with years’ worth of antique treasures found in shops, co-ops and at auctions.

Collection Of Edwin A. Dawes, Major Figure In The World Of Magic, Sells

Potter & Potter Auctions held a 448-lot sale on Feb. 24 grossing $863,000. The sale had a 99-percent sellthrough rate and beat its high estimate by over $300,000. Prices noted include the company’s 20-percent buyer’s premium. The featured portion of the sale consisted of the collection of Edwin A. Dawes (British, 1925-2023), who was a singular figure in the world of magic and magicians, and the most prolific chronicler of conjuring history in the 20th century.

A promotional poster, “Adelaide Herrmann and

Company. The Flight of the Favorite,” realized an amazing $57,600. The bright, one-sheet stone lithographed poster published around 1905 in New York advertised a signature transposition effect of Adelaide Herrmann (British/American 1853-1932) as part of her Vaudeville magic show. According to Potter & Potter’s experts, this was the only known example of this poster extant. Another poster, “Chung Ling Soo. Chinese Conjurer,” sold for $40,800. It was printed in Ashton-Under-Lyne by Horrocks & Co. around 1910.

This three-sheet, blue, white, and black lithographed poster featured a central full-length portrait of Soo (William E. Robinson, 1861‚Äì1918), flanked by Chinese characters and text at the top and bottom in English. This was one of only a handful of three-sheet Soo posters extant, of any design, and was the first of its kind seen or handled by Potter & Potter. Chung Ling Soo’s address book, a different lot in the sale, made $31,200. This personal rolodex was owned by the “Marvelous Chinese Conjurer” and was filled with entries in ink in his own hand, including many

key contacts important to his career as an entertainer.

A tome printed in London by G. Dawson in 1663, noted as the sixth edition, “with many additions,” featured 32 unnumbered leaves, a woodcut frontispiece, and woodcuts in the text, and sold for $36,000. The “Hocus Pocus Junior. The Anatomy of Legerdemain. Or, The Art of Juggling set forth in proper Colours” was one of two known examples of this exact edition and purchased by Dawes at Sotheby’s in 1979.

into the supernatural side of nature. The animal kingdom also offers opportunities for Wyeth to stretch his dark imagination, with portraits of frenzied birds and mesmerizing sheep in vivid paintings. The exhibition concludes with an exploration of haunted spaces, from eerie exteriors like “Pom Pom’s Cadillac” (ca. 1965) to works such as “Gull and Windsor” (1993) that breach thresholds to explore uncertain interiors.

“Jamie Wyeth: Unsettled” is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue co-published by Rizzoli Electa and Brandywine. This major publication features a lead essay by Burdan, as well as contributions from other authors who explore the creation of similarly unsettling moods in different media, including essays by John Rusk on filmmaking, Rena Butler on choreography, Michael Kiley on sound artistry, and Jennifer Margaret Barker on classical composition.

Following its presentation in Chadds Ford, Pa., at the Brandywine, the exhibition will travel to the Farnsworth Art Museum (Rockland, Maine), Greenville County Museum of Art (Greenville, S.C.), Dayton Art Institute (Dayton, Ohio), and the Frye Art Museum (Seattle, Wa.). This exhibition is made possible with support from Mac and Frances Weymouth, Linda L. Bean, Diana Bean, Chase, D.D. Matz, Helen C. Alexander, Cina Alexander Forgason, Morris and Boo Stroud, and an anonymous donor.

The fourth highest-priced seller in the auction, a menu heavy with signatures along with some personal photos,

came in at a cool $100,000 and was the event’s charmer with a good backstory. In 1964, American teenager Carol Hollenshead’s father made regular business trips to England and had already brought home word of an up-and-coming act named the Beatles, as well as a copy of the LP “Meet the Beatles.” Carol was variation of the album. This sealed Mono “First State” was slabbed and graded 9.0 and came with a copy of the recall letter from Ron Tepper.

immediately smitten with the music (“It was just. better!”), and on a subsequent flight, the Feb. 7 Pan Am flight 101 from London to New York, her dad found himself in first class with the lads. They were en route to their stateside debut; in two days they would go on Ed Sullivan’s TV show in New York, and two days after that play the

oversold Washington Coliseum in D.C. During the flight, Carol’s dad snapped photos of the Beatles along

with fellow fliers Phil Spector, Brian Epstein and Cynthia Lennon. The band and its small entourage signed the in-flight menu for him. For complete results on all lots in the sale visit, www. HA.com/7321.
