Anni Albers

(1899-1994, American) “TR I,” 1969 Color lithograph on Arjomari paper under Plexiglas, Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles, CA pub./prntr., with full margins Edition 43/44, signed and dated in pencil lower right: Anni Albers / 69, blindstamped for Gemini G.E.L. and the copyright symbol, titled and numbered in pencil lower left, stamped for Gemini G.E.L. and numbered verso: AA68-215 Sheet: 19.75” H x 21.75” W; Image: 14” H x 16” W $3,000-5,000 Literature: G., 211 Notes: German born, American artist Anni Albers (1899-1994) is known for closing the gap between craft and fine art, but doing so was not her original intent. In the early 1920s when Anni studied at the infamous Bauhaus, an avant-garde German school for art and design, her heart was set on becoming a painter. However, she was coerced into pursing weaving classes instead...a more female-friendly art form.

Despite the precarious origins of her beginnings in textiles, the loom proved to be a constant companion as she created woven works of art for over 40 years. It wasn’t until her 60s that she moved away from the physical demands of the loom and began producing works on paper made through various printmaking processes.

Color lithographs like the present example is a very involved process with each color requiring a separate stone.

Anni’s husband, Josef Albers was a well-known artist and color theorist. Anni and Josef shared a devotion to color but expressed it very differently. Josef gave Homage to the Square and focused on a methodical approach to the interaction of color; while Anni’s use of color came across as more expressive even though it was still often contained in geometric shapes. Although her later works were on paper, Anni Albers brought her rich textural background into her impactful color lithographs.

Extra “O” Ghana Barbershop/Hairdressing sign Third-quarter 20th Century African School Oil on Board Unsigned 36” H x 24” W $300-500 Notes: Barbershops and hair salons may consist of a simple structure with a hand-painted sign nailed to its exterior. Sometimes a barber or hairstylist will fabricate the signs themselves.

More often, these signs are painted on wood panels by self-taught sign artists who work in studios or independently. Such signs first appeared in urban areas to advertise services sometime during the 1930s to 1950s. American popular culture has long influenced contemporary hairstyles in Africa with named styles such as ìBoeingî and ìFord.

(1923-2005, American) Untitled, 1967 Oil on canvas Signed and dated lower right: Tadashi Sato / ‘67 20” H x 30” W $6,000-8,000 Provenance: The artist Private Collection, Tustin, CA, aquired from the above Notes: Japanese-American artist, Tadashi Sato’s vibrant career spanned the far reaches of the globe, from Honolulu to Manhattan. The artist exhibited and worked in both the epicenter of the artworld and in the distant Hawaiian islands, drawing inspiration from both sources. Sato was a practitioner of abstract expressionism, working in the orbit of Pollock and the other New York artists central to the movement.

At the same time, Sato’s abstracted, painterly forms also found influence in his native Hawaii, where the colors and forms of the ocean, as well as the light and atmosphere, are evocative of his beloved islands.

Hunt Slonem

(b. 1951, American) “Tennessee Johnson City,” 1998 Oil on paperboard Signed, dated and titled verso 10” H x 8” W $3,000-5,000 Notes: Reminiscent of Warhol’s patterned canvases and vibrant silkscreen prints, Hunt Slonem explores color, form and repetition in much of his work. Stylistically, Slonem employs an expressionistic style of paint handing, exhibiting loose, gestural strokes. Birds are a frequent motif in the artist’s oeuvre, often originating from his own aviary. Other varieties of animals and plant life likewise factor into his prolific body of work.

Fernand Leger

(1881-1955, French) “Nature morte aux fruits,” 1948 Color lithograph on Arches paper Edition 49/75, signed in pencil lower right: F. Leger, numbered in pencil lower left, Arches watermark lower center Sheet: 19.75” H x 25.75” W; Image: 13.5” H x 18” W $1,000-2,000 Literature: Saphire, 18 Notes: Fernand Leger embraced the tenants of cubism while retaining recognizable forms, creating what he termed “tubism.” His approachable, populist aesthetic has often been interpreted as aligning with his socialist political leanings, which became more entrenched following the Second World War. Colorful, robust and animated, Leger’s familiar style is readily apparent in the present lithograph. As a choice of subject, the still life pays homage to the history of art, recalling the Dutch still life tradition, while also evoking Cezanne’s experiments with the abstraction of form. Leger also harkens back to similar nature morte aux fruits subjects by Picasso and fellow members of the twentieth-century avant-garde.

Pablo Picasso

(1881-1973, Spanish) “Lampe Femme,” 1955, A.R. 295 Terre de faÔence ceramic vase Edition of 100; Stamped: Madoura / Plein Feu / d’AprËs Picasso; Partial transport label to underside and full transport label with the piece: Andre Chenue & Fils / 24/64/2 15” H x 8” W x 5.5” D $15,000-20,000 Provenance: Estate of Jacqueline Roque Picasso Purchased from Hammer Galleries, New York Acquired by decent to present owner Literature: Hammer Galleries, “Picasso: Unique Ceramics from the Estate of Jacqueline Picasso,” New York, 1999, p. 12.

Notes: Among the most influential and prolific artists of the twentiethcentury, Pablo Picasso was instrumental in the development of Cubism, Surrealism and Expressionism. In addition to an ever-shifting aesthetic sensibility, he embraced diverse media from painting and sculpture to prints, drawings, ceramics, and even jewelry.

The present work, “Lampe Femme,” has an esteemed provenance, originating from the collection of Picasso’s second wife and longtime muse, Jacqueline Picasso. She sold the vase to Hammer Galleries in New York, where it was purchased by the present collector. Picasso met Jacqueline at Madoura Pottery, the ceramic workshop where many of the artist’s works in that medium were produced. Jacqueline was a studio assistant before they commenced a romantic relationship and later married. Together for more than 20 years, she is a frequent subject of his late paintings, until his death in 1973.

“Lampe Femme” was produced at the Madoura studio. Attracted by the versatility of clay, Picasso not only mastered traditional ceramic forms but invented new ones. In this example, a technical achievement of firing, Picasso overlays the face of a woman onto this unique shaped vessel.

He hand-painting her features in a pleasing blue that is reminiscent of the Mediterranean Sea, not far from the Cote D’Azur pottery studio. In characteristic form, Picasso achieves harmony of proportion coupled with unmatched innovation.

This lot is accompanied by the Hammer Galleries catalogue and the Andre Chenue & Fils transport label.

(b. 1937, American) “Landmark Decay,” 2006 Color lithograph on wove paper under Plexiglas, Hamilton Press, Venice, CA, pub./prntr., with full margins Edition 3/70, signed and dated in pencil lower right: Ed Ruscha, edition numbered in pencil lower left, with the blindstamp for the publisher/printer, Hamilton Press, Venice, CA, numbered verso: EH587-06ER Sheet: 9.25” H x 13.25” W; Image: 3.5” H x 9” W $3,000-4,000 Notes: Ed Ruscha is among the most celebrated Los Angeles pop artists. His oeuvre incorporates cheeky text and glorifies seemingly banal imagery, often with a playful perspective inspired by advertising. In the present work, Ruscha employs his clever sense of humor to lament the imagined ruin of one of American’s most iconic structures, the Hollywood Sign. The sketchy, abstracted quality underscores the imagined impermanence of this legendary LA monument. Like Warhol and other pop artists, the notion of celebrity and Hollywood, itself, plays a reoccurring and conflictual role in Ruscha’s oeuvre.

His oeuvre tends to incorporate cheeky text and glorify seemingly banal imagery, often with a playful perspective inspired by advertising. In the present work, Ruscha employs his clever sense of humor to highlight two methods of time keeping, ancient and modern. Reloj, the title, meaning watch in Spanish, is used

by Ruscha to describe both an hourglass and watch bezel.

The blurry, abstracted quality implies the subjectivity and impermanence of time.

His oeuvre incorporates cheeky text and glorifies seemingly banal imagery, often with a playful perspective inspired by advertising. In the present work, Ruscha employs his clever sense of humor to pay false tribute to one of American art’s most iconic painting cycles, Thomas Cole’s Course of Empire (183436). The epic nineteenth-century series was painted on five canvases, which together expressed an inevitable forward march of progress in western civilization. Such a notion has come to be perceived with increasing scrutiny and criticism by revisionist historians. The utilitarian architecture of Ruscha’s tire shops and trade schools denounce Cole’s thesis, while likewise acknowledging their inescapable global ubiquity.

(b. 1937, American) “Music,” 2014 Color lithograph on Arches Cover Cream paper under glass, Hamilton Press, Venice, CA/Los Angeles Music Center, pubs., Hamilton Press, prntr., the full sheet Edition 12/60, signed and dated in pencil lower right: Ed Ruscha, numbered in pencil lower left, and blindstamped for the printer, Hamilton Press Sheet: 22.5” H x 18” W $3,000-5,000 Notes: Ed Ruscha is among the most celebrated Los Angeles pop artists. His oeuvre incorporates cheeky text and glorifies seemingly banal imagery, often with a playful perspective inspired by advertising. In the present work, Ruscha employs his clever sense of humor through the juxtaposition of a regular ledger line of music and a distorted one below, implying cacophonous and dissonant sound. The work recalls experimental twentieth century music such as that of John Cage, as well as his penchant for absurdist imagery and surrealistic tendencies. A copy of the Hamilton Press printing documentation accompanies this lot.

(1907-2001, Vietnamese) “Bouquet ChampÍtre” Oil on canvas Signed lower right: Le Pho, titled on the stretcher 18” H x 11” W $10,000-15,000 Notes: Born in Vietnam, Le Pho lived and worked between Paris and Hanoi, moving back and forth several times to teach fine art and pursue his painting practice. Such internationalism came to inform Pho’s distinct aesthetic: a subtle blend of Asian influences and European forms.

This Impressionistic still life recalls earlier examples of the genre in the history of western art. Likewise, the work also draws upon the bushiness, delicacy and linear quality found in eastern ink wash paintings celebrating nature.

Colorful, soft and appealing, the work typifies Le Pho’s oeuvre.

Andy Warhol

(1928-1987, American) “S&H Green Stamps,” 1965 Offset color lithograph on paper under Plexiglas, Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, pub., Eugene Feldman, prntr.

From the edition of approximately 300, initialed in graphite by Fred Hughes verso; retains Andy Warhol Estate stamp verso 23” H x 22.75” W $2,000-3,000 Literature: F. Feldman and J. Schellmann. 2003. #II.9 Notes: Ever the art world provocateur, Warhol was fascinated by the ripe possibilities of applying modern mechanization techniques to his artistic practice. Much of Warhol’s celebrated oeuvre takes the form of silkscreen prints that call attention to themes related to modern-day capitalistic practices and society’s insatiable preoccupation with fame.

S&H Green Stamps is ripe with visual pun, reflecting the now-defunct retailer’s actual customer loyalty trading stamps, while simultaneously alluding to the stamp-based silk-screen process Warhol employed to create the work of art itself. The print is indicative of Warhol’s humor, as well as his predilection for ready-made, pop culture imagery. From an edition of approximately 300 signed works, a larger unsigned run of nearly 6,000 prints were employed at exhibition as Warhol’s exhibition announcements.

(1928-1987, American) “Ladies and gentleman” (one print from the set of ten), 1975 Color screenprint on Arches wove paper, Luciano Anselmino, Milan, Italy, pub., Alexander Heinrici, New York, prntr.

Edition 50/125 (there were also 25 artist’s proofs), signed, dated and numbered verso: Andy Warhol / 75 Sheet: 43.25” H x 28.5” W; Image: 32.25” H x 23” W $7,000-9,000 Literature: Ed. Feldman and Shellmann, “Andy Warhol Prints Catalogue RaisonnÈ, 1962-1987,” New York, 1997, p. 128, no. 129 Notes: Ever the art world provocateur, Warhol was fascinated by the ripe possibilities of applying modern mechanization techniques to his artistic practice. Much of Warhol’s celebrated oeuvre takes the form of silkscreen prints that call attention to themes related to modern-day capitalistic practices and society’s insatiable preoccupation with fame.

By 1975, Warhol had shifted attention from his earlier iconic color-block celebrity portraits, choosing to instead delve into New York’s thenmarginalized cross-dressing community. This distinct portrait series, “Ladies and Gentleman,” is derived from Warhol’s Polaroid photographs taken at the Gilded Grape nightclub. Warhol then transferred the images to silkscreen, declaring their colorful personalities and penchant for cosmetics through a superimposed patchwork of color. Warhol imbues these subjects with the same heroic quality befitting his famous faces, a celebration of the panache and glamour associated with the provocative cross-dressing culture.

Kaws modifies recognizable cultural icons, recalling Disney characters, popular cartoons and figures of his own design, such as Companion. The artist/ designer relies upon on a cast of repeating figures, instantly identifiable as his own due to their graphic quality, X’s for eyes and head protrusions. Kaws’ works are sold as toys, paintings, and prints, typifying his cross-market appeal and unmatched ability to straddle high and low art.

Conditions of Sale AUCTION HOUSE AS AGENT Except as otherwise stated, John Moran Auctioneers Moran's) acts as agent for the seller. The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the seller and the buyer.

BEFORE THE AUCTION (a) Public Preview: All property is available for inspection by public preview during the day of auction. In many cases, particular lots can be examined in advance by private appointment. Prospective buyers are strongly encouraged to personally examine any property in which they are interested. (b) Buyer's Responsibility: Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction. (c) Property Sold 'As Is': Neither Moran's nor the seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property, or to any errors or omissions in the catalogue or supplemental material apart from the Limited Warranty stated below. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply than an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others.

AT THE AUCTION (a) Admission: The auction is open to the public, though Moran's reserves the right to refuse admission or participation to anyone at any time. The auctioneer may be recorded (visually, aurally or otherwise) and all participants consent to such recording. (b) Buyer Registration: Prospective buyers must register with Moran's before bidding. Moran's may require identification and financial references in advance of buyer eligibility. Registered bidders accept personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer's premium plus all applicable charges, unless Moran's agrees in advance that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Moran's. In such case, Moran's will look to the third party for payment. (c) Bidding Guidelines: Bidding, whether in person, by agent, absentee bid, telephone, or internet, constitutes a bidder's acceptance of these conditions. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. The auctioneer retains the absolute right to reject any bid, to withdraw, pass or divide any lots, to combine multiple lots, to advance the bidding at his or her absolute discretion and (in the case of error or dispute, whether during or after the sale) to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, cancel the sale or to re-offer and sell the lot in question. Under no circumstances are the consignors' or agents acting on their behalf, permitted to bid on their consignment. In the event of any dispute after the auction Moran's sale record shall be conclusive. (d) Absentee, Telephone and Internet Bidding: Moran's offers absentee, telephone and internet bidding as a convenience to clients and does not accept liability for errors or failures to execute such bids. Absentee and telephone bids must be recognized by Moran's prior to auction day. When identical absentee bids are submitted that become the highest bids at the auction, the bid first received

by Moran's shall be accepted as the winning bid. Telephone bidders are encouraged to leave minimum bids in case of technical failure. (e) Reserves: Unless indicated otherwise, lots may be offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. The reserve for any lot shall not exceed its published estimate. Moran's shall act to protect the reserve by bidding through the auctioneer, who may open bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on the seller's behalf. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the reserve amount, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Lots without reserves are typically opened for bidding at 50% of their low estimate. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his discretion or deem the lot unsold if a bid is not recognized.

AFTER THE AUCTION (a) Payment and Title Transfer: The buyer agrees to pay the sum of the hammer price plus Buyer's Premium, plus any applicable sales tax. Buyer's Premium is calculated as follows: 25% on the first $500,000 of the hammer price, plus 18% on any amount between $500,001 - $1,000,000, and 15% on any amount above $1,000,000 when paying by cash, check or wire transfer. Successful bidders using Live Auctioneers platform will be charged a Buyer’s Premium of: 30% on the first $500,000 of the hammer price, plus 23% on any amount between $500,001 - $1,000,000, and 20% on any amount above $1,000,000 when paying by cash, check or wire transfer.

Credit card payments will be subject to an additional 3.5% acceptance fee. This fee is not more than the cost of accepting these cards. Buyers outside the United States must submit payment via wire transfer. Credit cards are not an accepted form of payment for buyers outside the United States. Buyers are strongly encouraged to provide full payment at the auction. Payment must be received by Moran's within five business days immediately following the auction. The buyer shall not acquire title or take possession of the lot until all amounts (including the hammer price, premium and applicable taxes) due to Moran's have been paid in full. (b) Collection: Buyers are strongly encouraged to collect purchased items from the sale site at the time of the auction. Packing material and labor are provided free of charge at the sale site during the auction. Packing and handling of purchased lot is undertaken by Moran's solely as a convenience to customers. Moran's is not liable for damage to property, regardless of cause, in connection with this courtesy service (c) Storage: Following the auction, uncollected lots shall be relocated to and stored in Moran's warehouse. Moran's shall retain possession of all purchases until full payment has been received from the buyer. Lots remaining uncollected after the fifth business day following the sale, regardless of payment status, are subject to a per-lot daily storage charge of $10.00. In addition to other remedies available by law, Moran's reserves the right to impose upon delinquent buyers a separate 1% monthly charge (of the

1 2 9 W i nt er M o d e r n & C o n t e mp orary l Tu e sd ay, F e b ru ary 2 3 , 2 021

purchase price, or the maximum permitted by law) commencing on the sixth business day after the sale date. (d) Shipping: Buyers are responsible for arranging their own shipping estimates and deliveries. Moran's in our discretion and as a courtesy to buyers, can arrange to have purchased lots packed, insured and forwarded by a third-party shipper at the request, expense and risk of the buyer. Moran's assumes no responsibility for acts or omissions in such packing or shipping by other packers or carriers, even if recommended by Moran's. Nor does Moran's assume any responsibility for any damage to picture frames or to the glass therein. In circumstances where Moran's arranges for such third-party services, Moran's may apply an administration charge of 15% of that service fee. (e) All Sales Final: Notwithstanding other terms mentioned herein, refunds shall be given at Moran's sole discretion. Refunds requested on the grounds of authenticity must be made within 10 days of the auction and accompanied by a supporting written statement from a recognized authority (defined as a person who has authored, edited, or substantially contributed to a monograph on the artist, a person who has curated, organized or substantially contributed to a solo exhibition on the artist, a person who has represented the artist's estate or someone who represented or worked closely with the artist while they were alive and, in any of the above instances physically handled works of the period, medium and subject matter in question during the course of their duties) stating that the object sold is incorrect or not the work of the artist. Dealers, appraisers and representatives of other auction firms do not qualify as authenticators of individual artists unless they have had such specific involvement with that artist's work, as specified above, in addition to their daily duties. Refunded lots must be returned to Moran's in the same condition as when sold. Moran's does not grant extensions to refund considerations based upon authenticity due to shipping delays. There are no exceptions to this refund policy.

LIABILITY AND LIMITED WARRANTY (a) Liability: The buyer expressly agrees that (i) neither Moran's nor the seller shall be liable, in whole or in part, for any special, indirect or consequential damages, including, without limitation, loss of profits and (ii) the buyer's damages, if any, are limited exclusively to the original purchase price paid for the lot. (b) Limited Warranty: All property is sold as is. Neither Moran's nor the consignor or our associates make any representation, express or implied warranty (including merchantability and fitness) or guarantee in condition, age, size, provenance, medium, signature, inscription, exhibition history, importance, rarity, country of origin, genuineness, historical relevance, monetary or other value, framing or lack thereof, mounting, conservation, coloring, palette, inscription, edition, style, label or other descriptor. No statement in the catalogue, brochures, website, bill of sale or invoice, any supplementary material, or statements by any Moran's employee shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an assumption of liability. (c) Descriptions: No warranty, whether express or implied, is made with respect to any description contained in this auction or any second opinion. Any description of the items or second opinion is for the courtesy of identifying the items for those Bidders who do not have the opportunity to view the lots in person, and no description of items has been made part of the basis of the transaction or has created any express warranty that the goods would conform to any description made by the Auctioneer. Color variations can be expected in any electronic or printed imaging and are not grounds for the return of any lot. (d) Estimates: All estimates provided are carefully considered opinions of Moran's specialists, and are merely suggested guidelines for interested buyers. Buyers must be aware that all property sold is subject to fluctuating values depending on the subjective interests of collectors and a wide variety of other uncontrollable factors. The lots auctioned may sell at prices above, within, or below estimate. (e) Regulated Species: Lots with a "◊" symbol in the printed or digital catalog, or noted within the condition report of a lot, may contain regulated plant or animal materials and could be subject to certain import or export restrictions. It is the buyer’s responsibility to investigate any such restrictions and obtain any required import or export permits / licenses.
