Fine Arts Building, Los Angeles, Walker & Eisen Presentation Architectural Rendering circa 1925
Watercolor and graphite on paper
Appears unsigned; inscribed as a banner in the lower edge, at center: “Eight Eleven West Seventh Street Bldg.”; a label with an inscription removed and affixed to the frame’s backing paper: “Havenstrite Oil Building”
Sight: 33” H x 23” W
$800-1,200
Notes:
The present work is a presentation architectural rendering of the Fine Arts Building, Los Angeles, designed by the architects Albert Raymond Walker (1881-1958) and Percy Augustus Eisen (1885-1946) and completed in 1926. The building still stands at 811 West 7th Street in Downtown Los Angeles and was declared a historic cultural monument in 1974. This highly detailed pencil drawing with watercolor embellishments was likely used for the initial presentation of the design by Walker and Eisen in 1925. A later label has been removed from the address banner when the name of the building briefly changed to The Havenstrite Building. That label is contained in a plastic sleeve affixed to the back of the work.
In October 1925, the Fine Arts Building Company announced its intention to build a height-limited skyscraper, constructed specifically for the use of local artists and artisans. The 12-story building at the corner of Seventh and Lebanon would feature high-ceilinged ateliers and galleries, as well as a suite of rooms for the Artland Club. The celebrated firm of Walker and Eisen — known for the James Oviatt Building, the Beverly-Wilshire, and the Title Insurance and Trust Building — were hired to design the “Romanesque Revival” structure. “Show windows of a most interesting architectural handling” would run the length of the great lobby, “affording the upper story tenants an opportunity for a display and exhibition of their various lines” (https://www.pbssocal. org/history-society/the-fine-arts-building-art-artifice-and-illegal-operations-in-l-a-s-commercial-cathedral)

$400-600
Provenance:
Property from an Important Los Angeles Educational Institution
Notes:
According to the consignor, the present work may have been part of a series by ten American graphic artists commissioned by Metromedia, Inc. and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY. This image is also citied in William Katz and Robert Indiana, “Robert Indiana: The Prints and Posters 1961-1971,” (Stuttgart and New York: Edition Domberger, n.d.), plate 16. In that catalogue, “Century City, Los Angeles,” is cited as the publisher.
In 1970, the artist created a painted version of this same subject. The only significant visual differences appear to be Indiana’s use of a lighter series of grays in the painting, and slightly larger dimensions closer to 60” H x 50” W. In June of 2006, Christie’s London sold that painting for the equivalent of $313,565.

Notes:
This lot is accompanied by Frederick Hart SGL gallery brochures and a price list.
Frederick Hart was a highly regarded 20th century American sculptor and a pioneer in the field. Frederick Hart’s acrylic sculptures were unique because of the material he used, calling it sculpting with light. He also worked with bronze and marble, using his art to harken back to an artistic era when human form and anatomy were admired. He was an apprentice sculptor at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C., learning his craft before eventually winning a competition to design the façade of the National Cathedral, leading to some of the best Frederick Hart sculptures. The Three Soldiers statue in Washington D.C. may be the most well-known Frederick Hart sculpture, though the Ex Nihilo statue is also revered by viewers†in the nation’s capital. Art lovers can find replicas of Frederick Hart’s Ex Nihilo for sale at various online shops. In addition, many of his other figural sculptures are available†at auction and galleries nationwide.

Notes:
Bonfils created this painting as cover art for Reed Nightstand Books (3038) paperback by Cylde Allison (aka William Henry Knoles), “The Lustful Ones,” (Chicago: Greenleaf Classics, 1973), cover illus. https:// greenleaf-classics-books.com/vintage/book/3038
According to the Greenleaf Classics website, “Greenleaf Classics Publishing was the leading publisher of sex novels in the last half of the 20th century [1959-1990]. They published thousands of titles with huge print runs, and had nationwide distribution, yet few of the books exist today.... The Greenleaf Publishing company started in 1959 and experienced fast growth and tough challenges as they published sex novels through the 60’s. This was a time of massive change in the culture’s attitudes toward sexual expression. This explained the many legal fights to successfully defend First Amendment rights to publish such books, and the approach to sell the books by putting striking cover art on them. The packaging of the books in the Vintage period had strong cover art and exotic titles that promised much more than they delivered.”
Robert Bonfils was a staff artist at Greenleaf Classics from 1962 until 1973. Because his work was so highly regarded, the website states that “...freelance artists wanting to sell to Greenleaf were directed to copy the ‘Bonfils look.’ This is why some covers not painted by Robert Bonfils may resemble his work.” https:// greenleaf-classics-books.com/vintage/

Just as humankind is the expression of the physical universe, so is bronze metallurgy a celebration of these same integrated forces; indeed, for Snowden, the working processes that heat the bronze foundry are mirrored in titanic geological phenomena happening deep within the earth’s core.
Using no models or references to express form, Snowden has invented a composition that invites us to contemplate Gravity in multiple ways. In the sculptor’s visual language, the lower figure can be thought to embody Gravity. In its free fall suspension, the lower tier creates the illusion that it is exerting the full force of its downward weight upon the bronze structure. The upper figure opposes being brought down by Gravity in an affirmative action that seems to strive toward the light. Indeed, this upper portrait is riveted on the heavens. Touring the sculpture, the lower figure exerts a downward force while the upper lifts skyward on limbs that clutch and depend upon the lower tier. Within the braced hands lies a nexus of condensed power. Here, Gravity and its effect is described as a synergistic union of elements. The sculpture suggests a balanced scale.” (https://www.mlsnowden.com/copy-of-stasis)

Notes:
Quoting information provided with an impression offered via ebay: “Matsumi “Mike” Kanemitsu ... was a JapaneseAmerican painter who was also proficient in Japanese style sumi and lithography. Kanemitsu was born to Japanese parents in Ogden, Utah on May 28, 1922. At age three, he was taken to Japan and grew up in a suburb of Hiroshima with his grandparents. He returned to the United States in 1940 and enlisted in the United States Army in 1941 at Fort Douglas, at which point he renounced his Japanese citizenship and became solely an American citizen. He was arrested after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and interned. While interned, he began drawing with supplies provided by the American Red Cross. After his release, Kanemitsu enlisted in the Army and served as a hospital assistant in Europe.
In 1946, he was discharged from the Army and undertook formal art education with FernandLéger in Paris, with Karl Metzler in Baltimore, and with Yasuo Kuniyoshi at the Art Students League of New York beginning in 1951. Among the jobs he took to support himself while in art school was a position as director of entertainment in a Baltimore gambling hall, where he oversaw the striptease dancers. While at the Art Students League he associated with artists such as Paul Jenkins, Warren Brandt, Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Robert Motherwell, Willem and Elaine de Kooning, and others. By 1958 he was firmly entrenched in abstract expressionism and was close with Norman Bluhm.
In the 1950s and early 60s he received two Longview Foundation awards and a Ford Foundation Fellowship to practice lithography at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles. He moved to Los Angeles in 1961, in part due to his dislike of the rise of Pop Art in New York, and was on the faculty of Chouinard Art Institute from 1965 to 1970 and the Otis College of Art and Design from 1971 to 1983.
In 1990, along with fellow artist Nancy Uyemura and two dealers from Japan, he opened Gallery IV, which showed both local Los Angeles artists and Japanese artists. Kanemitsu died of lung cancer at his home in Los Angeles on May 11, 1992. Though he painted representational works in the early 1950s, Kanemitsu is generally considered a second-generation abstract expressionist. Later in the 1950s, with the support of Frank O’Hara and Harold Rosenberg, he was able to show his work at the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, and the Radich Gallery. He is best known for his non-objective paintings and lithographs....”

$400-600
Provenance:
Lifvendahl Fine Art, Guerneville, CA
Notes:
According to the Independent San Fransico news and culture site, 48 Hills, Pete Doolittle was a beloved and familiar face around the Lower Haight, and “built an exuberantly idiosyncratic personal language of characters and symbols in the post-Mission School era of San Francisco street art, mostly based around the Haight neighborhoods. Peteís own semiotics came to symbolize the Lower Haight/Divisadero area at the turn of the century, maintaining an artistic authenticity as ‘NoPa’ rapidly gentrified.”
Doolittle was known for collecting “abandoned large-pane windows scavenged from dumpsters and construction sites went from a whimsical repurposing of forsaken materials to a reverent reclamation of neighborhood history, as many Edwardian and Victorian buildings were gutted.” Furthermore, he often collaborated with local window craftsman Steve Wilson, who would install period-appropriate reproductions in place of the originals Pete repurposed. Pete gave their discarded windows new life through his art. In doing so, his works serve as inventive visual pieces and as lasting reflections of a neighborhood and era in transition.

The brothers are Rob Clayton (b. 1963) and Christian Clayton (b. 1967). According to the ArtCenter College of Design, Pasadena, CA website — Rob and Christian are both alumni who then returned as full-time faculty members — “The Clayton brothers use an unconventional process in which one contributes mixed media while adapting, transforming and reworking what the other has completed. They seldom work on the same canvas at the same time. By leaving visual messages for each other, strands of ideas allow them to elaborate upon the work — an organic flow of subverted content that is finalized only by consensus. This highly personal system results in dynamic work filled with gestures, techniques, symbols and metaphors that delve into memory and the subconscious.”
