Hans Burkhardt Born in Switzerland, trained in New York, and a longtime influential presence in Los Angeles art circles, Hans Burkhardt (1904–1994) developed a singular painting style that merged elements of representation, abstraction, and surrealism. One keynote of Burkhardt’s paintings is the careful balance and strong underlying structure of his compositions—a precept learned from his teacher Arshile Gorky, a seminal figure in the advent of Abstract Expressionism. Other hallmarks of Burkhardt’s work are his humanism and his facility for conveying deep emotions.

Burkhardt has been called “Goya’s spiritual heir,” and his body of work encompasses some of the 20th century’s most compelling artistic indictments of the brutality of war. At the same time, few painters have been more successful in their depictions of happiness, hope, and human tenderness.

Burkhardt’s empathy stemmed from the privations of his childhood. When he was three years old, Burkhardt’s father left the family to go to America. Three years later, Burkhardt’s mother died of tuberculosis and he was sent to a city orphanage. He worked menial jobs until 1924, when he joined his father in New York and found work in a furniture factory painting decorative motifs. To improve his

skills, Burkhardt studied at the Cooper Union. Discovering a talent for art, he took instruction from Gorky at the Grand Central School of Art. From 1928, alongside his fellow student Willem de Kooning, he painted in Gorky’s downtown studio. Relatively well paid during the Depression for his furniture making, Burkhardt supported Gorky—an archetypal impoverished starving artist—for several years.

Burkhardt moved to Los Angeles in 1937. His work was soon championed by the prominent artist Lorser Feitelson.

Burkhardt’s first solo show was in 1939, and in 1945 the Los Angeles County Museum of Art became the first public institution to purchase his art, which now sits in the collections of numerous major museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the British Museum. Burkhardt taught at several schools in the Los Angeles area, among them the University of California at Los Angeles, the Otis College of Art and Design, and California State University at Northridge.

Claire Falkenstein The abstract artist Claire Falkenstein (1908–1997) was one of the most important and intriguing figures in post-war American art. She developed an artistic vocabulary all her own, drawing on influences that ranged from Abstract Expressionism and Einsteinian physics to the French avant-garde of the 1950s. Falkenstein’s signature enigmatic sculptures—brambled thickets of bent and welded copper tubing and intricate networks of metal and glass (seen in her most famous commission, the gates of Peggy Guggenheim’s palazzo-museum in Venice)—reflect her ruminations on such themes as continuity and change, space and matter, and the interconnectedness of the infinite.

Introduced to sculpture through her studies with the Cubist master Alexander Archipenko in the 1930s and later teaching alongside the Abstract Expressionist Clyfford Still at the California School of Fine Arts (now the San Francisco Art Institute) in the 1940s, her work was informed by an astonishingly rich background. In 1950, Falkenstein moved to Paris, where she befriended such artists as Alberto Giacometti, Jean Arp, and Sam Francis, and where she became involved in a new intellectual movement that explored the nexus of art, science, and philosophy. When she returned to California in 1960, those investigations continued to be the basis of her work on such pieces, as illustrated in the two present lots.

The Point as a Set sculpture series, which she began in her Los Angeles studio in the early 1960s, marked Falkenstein’s first self-assured steps into her mature artistic career. These sculptures vary in expression “from happy, open, curving lyricism to ominous, closed, hard-edged density,” Falkenstein wrote in an artist’s statement given to the Tate Gallery after the London museum acquired a work from the series in 1981. “Point as a Set refers to the language of mathematics, and thus to under-surface relations in nature.”

Gordon Onslow Ford The British-born painter Gordon Onslow Ford (1912–2003) was the youngest and last surviving member of the original Surrealist artistic group, led by the poet André Breton, that convened in the salons and cafés of Paris in the 1920s and Thirties and included such members as Joan Miró, Marcel Duchamp, Yves Tanguy, Jean Arp, and Salvador Dalí. Onslow Ford articulated an influential theory and practice of painting based on the notion of “automatism,” spontaneous creativity unfettered by rational thought.

His paintings—marked by dense, layered patterns, strong lines, biomorphic forms, and glowing spaces—manifest a visionary astral mindscape. Taking his inspiration more from Jung than Freud, Onslow Ford rejected the dream-based work of Dalí and others in favor of an approach that sought to more deeply probe the mind for archetypal, abstract signifiers of cosmic consciousness. Towards that end, he invented techniques such as one he called “coulage,” in which he poured paint directly on the canvas, moving it to form random patterns. In early 1941, Onslow Ford delivered a series of lectures on Surrealism in New York that were attended

by Robert Motherwell, Arshile Gorky, Jackson Pollock, and other Abstract Expressionist painters. It has been speculated that the artists were strongly influenced by Onslow Ford’s “coulage” method.

In 1947—following service in the Royal Navy during World War II—Onslow Ford moved to Northern California. For a time he made his studio in a disused ferryboat in Sausalito—a place that became a gathering spot for creative types including sculptor Ruth Asawa and the writer Henry Miller. He later settled down to work and live on the coast in western Marin County. He began to practice Buddhism and to study Japanese calligraphy with a Zen master. For several years starting in the latter 1950s—in an effort to break down his art to its fundamentals, a pure and direct expression of conscious energy unaltered by worldly associations—Onslow Ford painted only in black and white. Universal Animal (1961–1962) was the first painting in which he introduced color back into his work. Thereafter, luminous hues were again central to Onslow Ford’s restless, probing, and spiritually questing paintings—an art which sought, as he wrote, “to bring wonder into the world.”

George Chann George Chann (1913–1995) was the first widely recognized Chinese-American artist to paint in a modern Western style. His life and career form a remarkable artistic journey.

Born Chen Yinpi in the Chinese province of Guangdong, he emigrated with his father—an herbalist and practitioner of traditional medicine—to Northern California in 1922. Chann showed an early interest in art and painting, but was largely self-taught until moving to Los Angeles in 1942. There he studied at the Otis Art Institute (now the Otis College of Art and Design), taking a master’s degree in fine arts in 1945.

There are two distinct periods in Chann’s work. His early figurative paintings suggest the influence of the Post-Impressionists and feature robust stylized forms reminiscent of the work of Thomas Hart Benton and George Bellows.

Chann’s subjects include landscapes, nudes, and still lifes, but he had a particular affinity for depictions of marginalized peoples–particularly the poor, the elderly, and children. In the early 1940s his work was frequently exhibited in California, including solo shows at the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco and at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

In search of his cultural roots, Chann returned to China in 1947. He stayed for three years, taking lessons in calligraphy and studying classical Chinese art and antiquities. When Chann returned to the United States in 1950, he quickly embraced innovations in American art.

This second distinct style merged the energy and emotive brushwork of Abstract Expressionism with traditional Asian symbology. Chann would develop a singular technique in which individual Chinese pictographs were pasted onto a prepared canvas, rubbed or scratched, then overlaid with gestural paint strokes. “Chann achieved a balanced combination of formal visual components and textural physical patterns, to effectively tap the charm and tension inherent in each material and the myriad associations triggered by various written characters and symbols,” wrote the curator J.J. Shih. “George Chann’s later abstract paintings demonstrate his keen sense of color and capacity for creating order out of chaos, while at the same time proving the meticulous yet nevertheless lyrical artistic qualities of a pure abstract painter.”

Jack & Jim THE LIFE, LOVE AND ART OF TWO HOLLYWOOD CONNOISSEURS

Photographs by William Claxton (partial illustration of Lot 124A)

The actor and playwright Jack Larson and film director and writer James Bridges were gentlemen of the old school—talented, creative, cultured, thoughtful, generous, and supportive of each other and of their friends. They found each other and made a life together in a different Hollywood era—a much mythologized time and place. Although Larson and Bridges entered that world from different paths, each in his own way embodied a striking story of personal transformation.

Jack Larson (1928–2015) will forever be best remembered—as he often predicted with rueful good cheer—as the eager and earnest cub reporter Jimmy Olsen in the early television series Adventures of Superman. The young son of a working class family in suburban Los Angeles, Larson contemplated dropping out of high school in the late 1940s to pursue, if he’d had his way, a career as a professional bowler. But his father insisted, forcefully, that he return to his studies, and Larson ultimately completed high school and graduated from Pasadena Junior College.

There Larson discovered a talent for writing and performing in theatrical skits. He was spotted by talent scouts and won a part in the 1948 Warner Bros.

Technicolor war drama Fighter Squadron. Roles on the stage and on live television followed, and Larson began to dream of working on Broadway. Reluctantly, and for the sake of the money, in 1951 he signed on for 26 filmed episodes of Adventures of Superman— assured that the show would likely never air. Larson was living in New York when the program debuted the following year–and was an instant hit. “To me, it was a nightmare,” Larson recalled in a 2006 interview with The New York Times. “Everywhere I went, it was, ‘Jimmy! Jimmy! Hey, Jimmy, where’s Superman?’

Suddenly, I couldn’t take the bus or the subway anymore. It absolutely freaked me out.”

Though Larson enjoyed his work during the eight-year run of Adventures of Superman—and was particularly proud to have turned Jimmy Olsen into a deft comedic character—the role fulfilled his worst fears of becoming typecast. After a humiliating encounter with movie producer Mervyn LeRoy in a 1961 pre-production meeting for a part (“He started castigating the casting director right in front of me, saying, ‘I can’t have him in my film! He’s Jimmy Olsen!’” Larson told the New York Times), he sought guidance from a former boyfriend, Montgomery Clift. “Monty said, ‘This is going to continue,’” Larson recalled. “‘Don’t put yourself in these situations anymore. You need to leave this behind.’ And that’s when I decided to quit acting.”

Larson returned to writing. Advised by Bridges and friends such as the famed theatrical and film producer John Houseman, Larson found a successful second career as a playwright.

One specialty was the verse play, and his efforts in the genre included The Candied House—a retelling of the Hansel and Gretel story—and Cherry, Larry, Sandy, Doris, Jean, Paul, a comedy about being gay (both were directed by Bridges). He went on to write lyrics and narratives for composers such as Jerome Robbins and Ned Rorem. Larson wrote the libretto for Virgil Thomson’s third and last opera, 1972’s Lord Byron. His later works included a new text for Hector Berlioz’s Lélio in 1997 and 1998’s The Astronaut’s Tale, an updated and Americanized version of Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du Soldat. Larson was the first playwright to be awarded a grant by the Rockefeller Foundation.

While Jack Larson was winning fans on Adventures of Superman, James Bridges (1936–1993) was scheming about leaving Arkansas. Bridges grew up in a small town in the western part of the state and was studying drama at Arkansas State Teachers College when he left for Los Angeles in 1956—prompted by a carpe diem epiphany on the day his idol James Dean died in a car crash, a moment Bridges later explored in his 1977 movie September 30, 1955. In Hollywood, Bridges acted in small roles on television shows such as Dragnet, sometimes selling ice cream to make ends meet. In 1957 he met Larson on the set of the movie Johnny Trouble.

Within a year the two had formed a lasting relationship.

on to examine first-year Harvard law students’ desperation to succeed (in 1973’s The Paper Chase, for which Bridges received the first of his two Academy Award nominations for screenwriting); rudderless city-dwellers seeking to identify themselves with the trappings of bronco-busters (Urban Cowboy, 1980); the anxiety underlying the quest for physical beauty (Perfect, 1985); and the empty lives of coke-sniffing yuppies (Bright Lights, Big City, 1988). His best-known film, 1979’s The China Syndrome, a thriller starring Jane Fonda, Jack Lemmon, and Michael Douglas, centers on the inherent dangers of nuclear energy. It is a mark of Bridges’ integrity that, when the Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred twelve days after the film’s opening, the director refused to exploit the incident as a marketing opportunity.

Bridges took a job as a stage manager for John Houseman at the UCLA Theatre Group and wrote scripts in his spare time.

His 1961 play The Days of the Dancing, staged at the Beverly Hills Playhouse, caught the attention of Norman Lloyd, producer of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, who invited Bridges to write for the show. The Appaloosa, a 1966 film starring Marlon Brando, was Bridges’ first produced screenplay; that same year he took his first job as a director, on Larson’s The Candied House.

Four years later, Bridges made his film directorial debut with The Baby Maker, starring Barbara Hershey as a surrogate mother. That movie revealed a consistent theme in Bridges' work: a sensitive, character-driven attunement to new social currents and the people caught up in them. He would go

Another hallmark of Bridges’ directorial work was the skill and understanding with which he worked with actors—a fellow feeling engendered by his own days on the stage and set.

According to Larson, Bridges often advised aspiring movie directors to study theater rather than film in order to become more in tune with performers. He would defend his stars at all costs, though a forceful manner went against his polite and gracious nature. When the producer Robert Evans resisted his choice of the then little-known Debra Winger to star in Urban Cowboy, Bridges threatened to walk off the production. “He could get in there and fight with the best of them,” Winger recalled. “Although I fear he suffered later, because he really was not that kind of a person.”

69

Bridges finished his final movie project in 1990—the screenplay for Clint Eastwood’s White Hunter, Black Heart— the same year he was diagnosed with intestinal cancer. He died of complications from the disease three years later.

Though each knew fame and success in his own right, together Jack Larson and James Bridges formed a remarkably seamless personal and professional union.

On the stage Bridges brought Larson’s first theatrical works as a professional writer to life, but it was that work— and raves he received from critics when the pieces were performed in Los Angeles, London, and Edinburgh—that gave Bridges the bonafides that earned him directorial control of The Baby Maker. On that film and in several later ones, Larson worked as a producer—acting as a sounding board on scripts, giving his opinion about daily rushes and editing choices, carrying messages, and generally running interference against the impositions of executive producers and others who would have tried to push Bridges into artistic compromises.

Their extraordinary circle of friends included the writer Christopher Isherwood, the composer Virgil Thomson, the philanthropist, patron, and photographer Betty Freeman, the portrait artist Don Bachardy, the actress Leslie Caron, the actor and director John Cassavetes, the artist David Hockney, the poet and critic Frank O’Hara, the artist and photographer Peter Schlesinger, the artist and writer Joe Brainard, the actress Salka Viertel, the artist and filmmaker Andy Warhol (Bridges had performed in his 1964 film Tarzan and Jane Regained…Sort Of), and many others.

Larson and Bridges were generous and supportive friends.

“My career has been dependent on drawing recognizable people—meaning many actors,” says Bachardy. “Jack and Jim were always helpful. So many of my sitters were introduced through them.” The two collected art out of friendship as much as connoisseurship. “Jack bought my artwork to help me because I was broke,” says Schlesinger.

“They mostly bought from friends, or were given things by friends. There was a personal connection to everything they had.”

David Hockney David Hockney (born 1937) has been described as the most popular and versatile British artist of the 20th century. In the results of a 2011 survey of 1,000 British painters and sculptors, his peers went further, naming Hockney the most influential British artist of all time. Such stature may be attributed to both the clarity and frankness of Hockney’s art—in media spanning painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, and stage design—as well as the creative zest and enthusiastic engagement with the world which is evident therein.

Hockney grew up in the city of Bradford in Yorkshire county in northern England. He studied at the Bradford School of Art from 1953 to 1957 and at the Royal College of Art in London from 1959 to 1962. Though he was educated at a time when abstraction dominated the art world, Hockney stuck resolutely to figurative painting and drawing. His early paintings suggest a search for style, veering from spindly experiments in Expressionism to what today resemble amalgamations of James Ensor and Jean-Michel Basquiat. But all fell into place when Hockney arrived in Los Angeles in 1964. The escape from the oppressive air of Britain—cold, gray, rainy—to a world of bright sunshine, warmth, and sparkling water brought Hockney a sense of freedom and an artistic epiphany. “The day he stepped off the plane in Los Angeles, everything changed,” wrote the British art critic Richard Dorment. “In a moment I would seriously compare to Vincent Van Gogh’s arrival in Arles, it is as though the heat, light and color of California entered Hockney’s bloodstream. Overnight, a talented British artist became a major international star.”

He would spend most of the next five years in L.A. painting luminous pictures of the things that made him happy and that made him a name: swimming pools, manicured lawns, palm trees, stucco buildings, and luxuries unknown in England such as shower stalls. Hockney would also paint people. His portraits are considered by many to be his finest work: grandly scaled yet intimate, sharply realized and at the same time resonantly poetic. One reason for the

piquancy of these portraits is their exclusive reliance on Hockney’s friends, family, and special acquaintances as his subjects. His closest friends in Los Angeles—the author and fellow ex-pat Christopher Isherwood and his companion, Don Bachardy; the actor and writer Jack Larson and film director Jim Bridges; art dealer Nicholas Wilder; his own companion of those years, artist Peter Schlesinger—would also be the subjects of Hockney’s work. Larson introduced Hockney to the art collector Betty Freeman, who would become the subject of one of his greatest paintings, Beverly Hills Housewife (1966).

Three groupings of works by Hockney offered in this sale merit a particular note: the etchings from the 1966–67 series Illustrations for Fourteen Poems from C.P. Cavafy.

Constantine Cavafy (1863-1933) was the son of a Greek merchant family who lived most of his life in Alexandria, Egypt, where he worked as a clerk. His poetry—gentle but forthright mediations on intimacy between young men—were anthologized two years after his death. In his youth, Hockney stole a copy of the book from a Bradford city library. In a 2010 BBC radio program, the director of the British Museum, Neil MacGregor, discussed Hockney’s Illustrations—specifically the etching In the Dull Village—in terms of human rights, calling it “a courageous, provocative act.” Homosexuality was illegal in Britain when Hockney was making the etchings, and they were published the year parliament finally de-criminalized it. On the BBC show, Hockney acknowledged that he was making a personal statement in Illustrations: “I wasn’t speaking for anybody else, but I would certainly defend my way of living.”

Cecil Beaton The name Cecil Beaton (1904–1980)—portrait and fashion photographer and designer of couture, interiors, costumes, and sets for theater and film—was for decades a byword for chic and glamour. In the 1920s he worked as a staff photographer for Vanity Fair and Vogue magazines in his native London, documenting the comings-and-goings of the Bright Young Things of the upper class. The following decade saw Beaton shooting portraits of the Royal Family.

During World War II, he worked as a photographer for Britain’s Ministry of Information, covering the London Blitz as well as the fighting in North Africa. After the conflict ended, Beaton resumed celebrity portraiture and expanded his work in set and costume design. He won two Tony Awards® for costume design in a musical as well as three Oscars®: one for costume design for Gigi (1958) and for both costumes and art direction for My Fair Lady (1964).

Beaton developed a singular technique for his portraits: placing his sitters against unusual and vivid backdrops, they became just one element of an overall dramatic composition. This group of arresting and intimate photographs of Jack Larson and James Bridges at the Watts Towers are a superb example of the Beaton style. Beaton was quite possibly introduced to Larson and Bridges by their close friend Leslie Caron, the star of Gigi.

Joe Brainard An artist, writer, and designer of theater sets and costumes, Joe Brainard (1942–1994) was one of the most prolific and protean figures in the American art and literary world of the 1960s and 1970s. He worked in a range of artistic mediums that included oil painting and drawing, but is best known for his collage and assemblage pieces. Brainard published more than a dozen books, among them the minor classic “I Remember” (1970), a lyrical prose-poem memoir. In an artistic era dominated by the brawny heroics of Abstract Expressionism and the cool distance of Pop art, Brainard was notable for the honesty, clarity, sincerity, and wry openhandedness of his creations. “Brainard is one of those figures—in his art, his writing, and, one gathers, his person—whose primary genius was to give long-sought relief from overbearing works of art, pieces of writing, and people,” wrote the poet and critic Dan Chiasson. “For their friendliness, their air of openness, their distaste for guile and pretense, Brainard’s productions have a soothing quality.”

Brainard was born in Arkansas and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

As a precocious high schooler, along with poets Ted Berrigan and Ron Padgett, Brainard edited the admired art and literary magazine White Dove Review. He won a full scholarship to the Dayton Art Institute in Ohio, but dropped out to move to New York at age 19. After an impoverished year of self-discovery in Boston, he returned to Manhattan where he quickly joined a prodigious creative circle that included the painters Alex Katz, Larry Rivers, and Jasper Johns and the urbane New York School poets Frank O’Hara, John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, James Schuyler, and Berrigan and Padgett as well.

Brainard developed an odd and appealing personal iconography that ranged from images of the Madonna and Child to bits of housewares packaging; renderings of fried eggs to, very frequently, the character Nancy from Ernie Bushmiller’s classic comic strip of the same name. He collaborated often with his poet friends on assemblages and collages—mediums that, like poetry, consist of allusions, affinities, references, and connections. Brainard’s literary masterwork, “I Remember,” is itself a sort of collage, made of scraps of memory such as those in this excerpt: Continue to page 107

I remember planning to tear page 48 out of every book I read from the Boston Public Library, but soon losing interest.

I remember Bickford’s.

I remember the day Marilyn Monroe died.

I remember the first time I met Frank O’Hara.

He was walking down Second Avenue. It was a cool early Spring evening but he was wearing only a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. And blue jeans. And moccasins.

I remember that he seemed very sissy to me.

Very theatrical. Decadent. I remember that I liked him instantly.

I remember a red car coat.

Brainard died of AIDS-related pneumonia in 1994 at the age of 52. He had stopped exhibiting new work in his final years. His last gallery show during his lifetime took place in 1978 and was followed by two retrospectives: the first at the Long Beach Museum of Art in 1980 and a second in 1987 at the University of California, San Diego—a fact that the critic Bruce Hainley finds significant. “How refreshing that an artist who spent most of his life in New York had retrospectives in Southern California. It is helpful to think about Brainard’s work—its humour, it directness—in terms of some Los Angeles artists,” he wrote in Frieze magazine. “His little books of drawings and writings can be placed snugly next to Edward Ruscha’s brilliant photographic booklets: both reveal the genius of fearlessly pursuing a banal idea with single-minded thoroughness.”

Don Bachardy The portrait artist Don Bachardy (born 1934) is widely and deeply admired for his sensitive and insightful depictions of the famous, most particularly members of the creative classes. In the course of his career, Bachardy has sketched and painted the likenesses of hundreds of the past half century’s most celebrated and respected actors, artists, writers, poets, musicians, dancers, and other performers.

Raised in Los Angeles, he studied at the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles from 1956 to 1959, and the Slade School of Art in London in 1961. His work can be found in numerous public collections, including those of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Smithsonian Institute, the National Portrait Gallery in London, and the de Young Museum of Art in San Francisco.

He has often cited two chief influences on his artistic career.

The first is his long and celebrated relationship with the British-born writer Christopher Isherwood. They became a couple when Bachardy was 19 years old and Isherwood 49, and their nurturing, mutually encouraging, and loving life together has become legendary.

The second is cinema. Bachardy’s first motive for drawing was a love of movies—he spent hours sketching photos of male stars. Even today he describes his artistic method in cinematic terms. “The making of each of my pictures is similar to an unedited dance number from a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movie,” Barchardy wrote in the introduction to his 2014 monograph, Hollywood: Don Bachardy. “I am, like Astaire, in the thrall of my partner, my intense inspection the equivalent of Astaire’s infatuation with Rogers, whom he courts and yearns to make his own. My courting of my sitter is as dedicated and persistent, but my objective is to record rather than seduce, to possess by imitation rather than persuasion.”

Joe LeSueur (the subject of Lot 142) and Jack Larson

Alex Katz The famed New York-based painter, printmaker, and sculptor Alex Katz (born 1927) has developed a unique, instantly recognizable, and paradoxical aesthetic that is simultaneously warm and cool, formal and representational.

He is renowned for his large-scale depictions of places and people he knows intimately: the streetscapes and rooftops of the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan, where Katz has lived and worked for decades; the woodlands, lakes, and shores of Maine, where he keeps a second home; friends and loved ones, and, most especially and in more than 200 iterations, his wife and muse, Ada. And yet Katz renders these subjects with dispassion and detachment in economical lines, spare forms, and bright but oddly muted colors. Katz’s work has a seductive sang-froid.

He graduated from New York’s Cooper Union in 1949, and for the following two summers continued his studies at the Skowhegan School for Painting and Sculpture in Maine in the plein air painting program. A figurative painter by inclination and temperament, Katz fought against the prevailing gestural approach, destroying hundreds of works, Katz has said, as he sought his own method. He began to be influenced by movies, television, and advertising, and what emerged in the late 1950s and early 1960s was a style that anticipated Pop art—familiar and at the same time

remote and impersonal. Katz took one cue from Abstract Expressionism: his canvases grew larger as he embraced that school of art’s grand and epic formatting. As the critic Carter Ratcliff wrote: “Appropriating the monumental scale, stark composition and dramatic light of the Abstract Expressionists, he would beat the heroic generation at their own game.”

Here’s to You (1962) is a seminal painting from the early-mature stage of Katz’s career that discloses much about his evolving style and technique. Relatively small in scale compared to later work, the painting suggests both an intimacy with and distance from the subject. “Katz’s ‘small paintings’ reveal other stylistic and, dare I say, emotional characteristics that were not entirely banished from the large works he initiated in the early 1960s,” the curator Adam D. Weinberg wrote of this and similar works. Here’s to You has been widely exhibited at venues that include the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, New York, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.

James Gill Now enjoying a rediscovery, the painter James Gill (born 1934) emerged as a phenomenon in the Los Angeles art scene of the early 1960s. The Texan—a Marine Corps veteran who had given up architectural studies to pursue painting—moved to California in 1961. Though he was unknown, the prominent art dealer Felix Landau offered to represent Gill’s work in Los Angeles and New York. Critics had difficulty placing his art. The use of bright colors and serial imagery drawn often from celebrity culture and the news media prompted many to define Gill as a Pop artist, yet his blurred painterly technique also won him comparisons to Francis Bacon.

Gill promptly drew a following from members of the Hollywood community as well as attention from established patrons in the East Coast art world. His 1962 triptych Marilyn—painted SOLD TO BENEFIT THE BRIDGES/LARSON FOUNDATION

by Dominique and John de Menil and later donated to the Museum of Modern Art. Gill’s work was shown alongside that of Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, Ed Ruscha, and others at the 1967 São Paulo biennial; the following year, he was commissioned by Time magazine to paint a cover image of the dissident Soviet writer Alex Solzhenitsyn.

In 1972, still at the height of fame, Gill retreated from the public eye to live quietly in Northern California. He returned to his native town of San Angelo, Texas and recently resumed exhibiting his work.

Alexander Archipenko One of the most internationally prominent artists and educators of the first half of the 20th century, the Ukrainian-born Alexander Archipenko (1887–1964) received formal artistic training in his native Kiev before moving to Paris in 1908. Enrolled briefly at the École des Beaux-Arts, he left the school to take up independent studies at the Louvre. There he was particularly drawn to Egyptian, Assyrian, and Greek antiquities. By 1910, Archipenko had moved on from his classical studies and joined avant-garde art circles that included Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Marcel Duchamp, and Fernand Léger.

Over the next several years he undertook groundbreaking work that saw him introduce Cubist principles to sculptural forms, incorporating open spaces and opposing concave and convex curved surfaces to imply a sense of rhythmic motion.

Archipenko also explored the use of collage in sculptural works made of materials as various as metal, glass, and wood.

After exhibiting extensively in Europe, Archipenko moved to the United States in 1923 and began a peripatetic career as a teacher. During the following decades he taught in cities including New York, Oakland, and Los Angeles—where he taught at the Chouinard Art Institute as well as his own school—Chicago, Kansas City, and Seattle, using a curriculum that employed traditional art studies and techniques as a foundation for modernist advances.

John McLaughlin John McLaughlin (1898–1976), regarded by many as one of the great American painters of the 20th century, is yet one of the most underappreciated. A self-described “fervent” admirer of McLaughlin, the Los Angeles Times art critic Christopher Knight has called him “the first great artist to emerge in Southern California following World War II.” McLaughlin is best known, along with Karl Benjamin, Frederick Hammersley, and Lorser Feitelson, as one of the artists whose work in the 1950s defined the Hard-Edge school of geometric abstract painting. McLaughlin’s serene, almost austere canvases were in particular seen as a West Coast counterpoint to the more assertive works of the New York Abstract Expressionists.

He was strongly influenced by 15th century Asian monastic painters as well as the abstract purity of Piet Mondrian and the Suprematist painter Kazimir Malevich. McLaughlin saw his works as objects of contemplation: a means towards meditation on deeper, metaphysical realities. “I want to communicate only to the extent that the painting will serve to induce or intensify the viewer’s natural desire for contemplation without benefit

of a guiding principle,” he wrote in exhibition notes for a 1963 retrospective of his work at the Pasadena Art Museum. “I must therefore free the viewer from the demands or special qualities imposed by the particular by omitting the image (object). This I manage by the use of neutral forms. The uncompromised form by virtue of its power to withhold neither reveals or conceals.

Its function is merely to indicate that reality may be sensed by the viewer when released from the insistent demands of substantive quality.”

McLaughlin did not begin to paint in earnest until he was nearly 50 years old. He grew up in a suburb of Boston where he spent much time immersed in the Museum of Fine Art’s notable collection of Asian art. He and his wife moved to Japan in 1935, and there they stayed for three years studying the country’s language and culture. Back home in Boston, they opened a gallery dealing in Japanese prints and antiquities. Following his service in World War II as a translator for military intelligence working out of New Delhi, McLaughlin moved with his wife to the Southern California town of Dana Point.

It was in California that McLaughlin would have his greatest influence. Within a few years he had settled into a mature style that employed geometric figures—almost exclusively rectangles—rendered in colors that ranged from black, white, and neutrals to rich variants on primary hues. As Christopher Knight has pointed out, McLaughlin’s arrangements of formal elements on his canvases frustrate normal human binocular vision: “Ignoring accepted rules, his sophisticated paintings pry open perceptual space. Almost surreptitiously, they grab hold of your optical apparatus and undermine conventional habits of seeing.” These perceptual phenomena would have a profound impact on Robert Irwin, Larry Bell, James Turrell, and other members of the Los Angeles-born Light and Space movement.

DETAIL

Richard Prince Richard Prince (born 1949) is one of the most acclaimed artists of his generation and arguably the most provocative.

He works in a wide range of media that include painting, photography, and sculpture. The cornerstone of Prince’s work—like that of peers such as Sherrie Levine and Barbara Kruger—is appropriation: the artistic strategy that involves the borrowing, re-use, adaptation, or reproduction of existing artistic images and forms as the basis for fresh creation and commentary and as a means to ask philosophical questions about the nature of originality and authorship.

His earliest thematic works, re-photographs of cigarette advertisements featuring the mythic American figure of the cowboy, prefigure such thematic successes as his Nurses paintings series, in which he recreated trashy book jacket imagery. From these works to his latest project involving the manipulation of Instagram selfies, Prince has developed a body of work that serves not only as a penetrating examination of contemporary art history, but also as a trenchant critique of current social and cultural mores. As Peter Schjeldahl, art critic for The New Yorker, wrote in his review of the artist’s 2007 retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum: “Prince’s works make him an artist as anthropologist, illuminating folkways by recycling advertising photographs, cartoons and one-liner jokes, soft-core pornography, motorcycle-cult ephemera, pulp-novel covers, ‘Dukes of Hazzard’-era car parts, celebrity memorabilia, and other demotic flotsam.”

In 1987, Prince embarked on his seminal Monochromatic Jokes paintings—canvases that consist of corny and shopworn gags printed on vivid, uniformly colored backgrounds. Bedtime Story (1988) is an impressive example from the series. The painting resonates with associations and references. The joke itself is a commentary on numerous stereotypical notions—about age, gender, holiday domesticity, and the nuclear family—but more significant is the way Prince has contextualized it. There is a coolness and detachment that removes the words from the realm of humor; they are writ small in a featureless typeface, overwhelmed by the surrounding color. Bedtime Story is a chimera: at once a Hard-Edge abstraction and a piece of Conceptualist art in which the aesthetic image has been replaced by the pure idea. There is no trace of the artist’s hand in the painting—the words are both familiar and remote, like a Warhol Campbell’s soup can. At once art and artifact, Bedtime Story represents the apex of appropriation art.

Kaz Oshiro By “monumentalizing the mundane,” as one critic put it, Kaz Oshiro (born 1967) has drawn comparisons to Andy Warhol and other Pop artists with his signature, uncannily realistic sculptural representations of everyday accoutrements. And yet the Los Angeles-based artist goes a step further. Oshiro finishes his pieces with scuffs, scratches, and scrapes—“abstract marks,” he calls them—that suggest the object has lived through years of use. If this is trompe l’œil trickery, Oshiro is an illusionist who is happy to reveal his secrets: he leaves one side of an assemblage open so as to expose its means of construction, a generous artistic gesture allowing the viewer to participate in the creative process.

Oshiro’s work draws on a range of influences beyond Pop—among them Minimalism, Abstraction, and Conceptualism—and resists easy categorization. Like those of Lucio Fontana and Richard Pettibone, Oshiro’s pieces occupy a middle ground between painting and sculpture. He employs the materials of painting including canvas, acrylics, wooden boards, and framing, to create sculptural objects such as the three archetypal works in this sale: Trash Bin #9 (Pink/White), Bumper #3, and Microwave Oven #4.

Oshiro’s work has been exhibited by such public art institutions as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver.

Fred Eversley Like Peter Alexander, De Wain Valentine, and other contemporaries in the Los Angeles-born Light and Space movement, Fred Eversley (born 1941) works with cast resin to create sculptures that explore the act of visual perception. Elegant and seductive, Eversley’s sculptures have simple geometric forms—concave discs, triangular wedges, and obelisks with parabolic curves, as in the present lot. But their true complexity is revealed in the manner in which these pieces capture, distort, and refract light, changing color and apparent shape as the viewer moves around them. What Eversley makes is not an object so much as a sensory experience.

Born in Brooklyn, Eversley took an unusual path to his art, driven by curiosity, a restless intellect, and an experimental turn of mind. Eversley graduated with an engineering degree from the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) in 1964 and moved that year to California to participate in the booming aerospace and electronics industry. Like so many transplants before him, Eversley was quickly captivated by the sea, sun, and sky, as well as the rich and groovy cultural scene in L.A.’s Venice Beach. There, he began work on what he has called “art informed by science and technology.” He has maintained a studio in the neighborhood ever since.

Eversley’s first solo museum show was mounted by the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1970. “I am involved with using art as a phenomenon,” he wrote in an artist’s statement for the Smithsonian American Art Museum, where he worked as an artist-in-residence for three years beginning in 1977, keeping a studio in the National Air and Space Museum. “I am dealing with real energies, forces, space, time, and matter.”

As a dean of the Chouinard Art Institute in the early 1960s, he helped organize the school’s transition into a wing of the nascent California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). Nordland’s vast literary output includes seminal monographs on Richard Diebenkorn and the sculptures of Gaston Lachaise. He was the friend and acquaintance of many of the greats of 20th century art including Man Ray, Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell, and Frederick Sommer. Nordland is a true connoisseur.

Cleo Baldon with Oskar Fischinger painting in the background (Lot 45).

From the Cleo Baldon Estate.

Cleo Baldon A swimming pool, the designer Cleo Baldon (1927–2014) wrote, “reaches us on an emotional level. We are drawn to water. We seek to live beside it, at streams and rivers, oceans and lakes. We can imagine the pool as a link to our primordial past; pools respond to a profound emotional need and satisfy it.”

Few have understood the full significance of the swimming pool and the environment surrounding it better than Baldon.

From the 1960s and onwards, she was a key creative figure in the widespread establishment of the pool as an integral feature of the laid-back, optimistic Southern California lifestyle. By her own reckoning, Baldon designed more than 3,000 pools in and around Los Angeles, working as co-principal of a landscape architecture firm whose offices overlooked Venice Beach. She has been credited with the invention of the lap pool in the early seventies, a contribution that helped to advance the personal fitness revolution. At the same time, Baldon was a force for SoCal cool and sybaritic relaxation: she held a patent for the first prefabricated fiberglass jacuzzi with contoured seating, and she designed successful lines of outdoor furniture that married the sleek minimalism of modernist design with materials redolent of the region’s Spanish Colonial heritage: wrought iron, wood, and leather strapping.

Baldon was, moreover, a quintessential Southern California character. She was born in rural Washington state, in the heart of apple-growing country (she would later say that

the long, narrow irrigation trenches that run between the orchards were an inspiration for the lap pool). She came south to study interior design at Woodbury University in Burbank. Like many an L.A. transplant, she changed her name—she was christened Merle—to something more exotic.

Baldon took part in the birth of what we now call Mid-century Modernism. At Woodbury, she became close friends with Robert Theron “Pete” Peters—the architect and illustrator who is widely acknowledged as the practical force in the architectural offices of Craig Ellwood, who himself had no formal training—and would collaborate with him on several design projects. Another of Baldon’s longtime friends was the photographer Julius Shulman, whose work did so much to advance the mythos of modernism. He and Baldon published a design monograph about stairways. She was also an enterprising businesswoman: when she opened her own furniture company, Baldon purchased a foundry to fabricate the metal frames.

There was one final idiosyncrasy to this remarkable woman.

Though she co-owned a thriving landscape design firm, she had no interest in greenery and left all horticultural matters to her business partner. “I don’t understand plants,” Baldon told the Los Angeles Times. “And don’t intend to.”

Ibram Lassaw Ibram Lassaw (1913–2003) was a pioneering American abstract sculptor whose expressionistic and evanescent welded wire-and-alloy pieces presaged the open-form sculptures of later artists such as John Chamberlain and Mark Di Suvero. Like many modernist sculptors—most notably Alexander Calder, Harry Bertoia, and Claire Falkenstein— Lassaw turned to jewelry as a means to test theories and methods and practice his art in miniature. Starting in the early 1950s, Lassaw would create some 1,000 unique jewelry pieces, mostly pendants, in materials ranging from bronze and copper to gold plate. His jewelry manifests the same sense of dynamism and immediacy seen in his full-scale sculptures.

Though Lassaw rejected the notion of representational art, he was fascinated by cosmology and concepts of celestial space— several of his sculptures are named for constellations—and these wearable artworks reflect that interest.

Lassaw’s work is in the permanent collections of numerous museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Israel Museum, Jerusalem.

No purchases will be released until all sales tax requirements are satisfied.

E ST IMATE S & R E S E R VES The estimates printed after each lot should be used as a guide only and should not be relied upon as a prediction of final selling prices. Many of the lots offered for sale carry a reserve and are confidential. The reserve is a minimum price at which the seller has agreed to let the auctioneer sell the property.

C ON DI T I O N Everything is sold in“As-Is” Condition.

No statement regarding condition of any item, whether it is made orally at the auction, or in writing, or printed in this catalogue, or at any other time shall be deemed to be a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to inspect all goods prior to the sale. We strongly encourage all bidders to request a condition report on any item before bidding. All electrical items are sold for decorative value only and should be assumed not to be working. All measurements are approximate.

Photographs of any lots not illustrated can be found on our website, lamodern.com.

by Modern Auctions, Inc. Unless other arrangements are made and confirmed in writing, the buyer assumes sole responsibility for shipping, packing, insurance, and storage concerns. A list of shippers can be provided upon request.

B I DDI N G We encourage you to attend the sale in person. However, if you are unable to attend in person we offer an “absentee” or phone bidding service. For this service fill out and submit an Absentee/Phone bid form. To obtain this form please call 323.904.1950 or go to our website. We will not execute absentee or phone bid orders unless a signed and completed bid form has been received. All Absentee/Phone bid forms must be received by Saturday, February 20, 2016 by 5:00pm (PT) via fax to 323.904.1954 or scanned and sent via email to shannon@lamodern.com. We encourage you to call after faxing to confirm we have received your bid.

We kindly ask that you do not call on the day of the sale to submit bids or to check if your bids were successful.

All successful absentee/phone bidders will be notified by phone or email by February 23, 2016. In addition, the auction prices realized will be posted the day after the sale on our website. Do not rely on any auction results (prices realized) unless published on www.lamodern.com or as provided directly by Modern Auctions, Inc. Absentee/Phone bids are on a first-come, first-served basis; thus, we encourage you to submit your form ASAP. If identical absentee bids are submitted, the earliest received will take precedence. The number of phone lines available are limited so please submit your phone requests early. On all absentee/phone bid forms, please leave a valid credit card number with expiration date; a deposit of 25% may be required for all absentee and phone bids. Please note that we only accept credit card payments in person.

For those absentee/phone bidders who are unable to come in personally to pay, we will only accept either a certified check or wire transfer as a method of payment (see “Payment” notice). The party responsible for submitting the absentee or phone bid is solely responsible for the payment in full of the total invoice. We will not make any changes to an invoice.

Should a dispute arise after the sale, our sale records are conclusive. We are not responsible for failure to execute a bid and have the right to reject any bid. We reserve the right to withdraw any property before the sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal. Should an item be withdrawn, the auctioneer will make an announcement at the time the lot would have been put up for sale. In addition, the auctioneer may add lots not previously listed in the catalogue or addendum.

If the buyer does not comply with all of the notices to buyers, Modern Auctions, Inc. reserves the right to cancel the sale, hold the defaulting buyer liable for the purchase price and buyer’s premium, retain any deposit, and resell the property privately or at auction without further notice. In the latter, the defaulting buyer will be held responsible for all incurred expenses, such as warehouse and transportation costs, commissions, incidentals, and shall be liable for payment of any deficiency in the purchase price. This is strictly enforced. We reserve the right to assess a late charge of 1.5% of the total purchase price per month if payment is not made in accordance with any of these conditions of sale.

GUA RA N TEE The authenticity of every item offered for sale is guaranteed. Modern Auctions, Inc. warrants only the authorship of an item (as printed in the line directly below the lot number, may be blue, pink, or white type) and does not guarantee the condition, age, or any identifying characteristic used

by Modern Auctions, Inc., in any descriptions such as color, method of construction, and type of materials.

Any lot using the terms “attributed,” “attribution,” “in the style of,” “in the manner of,” or “after” does not qualify for our guarantee. In addition, the buyer assumes responsibility for reading all addendums and posted corrections to the catalogue prior to bidding.

RESCI SSI O N Should the authenticity of an item be disputed after a sale, the buyer has 90 days from the date of the auction to provide written documentation or conclusive opinion of a mutually agreed upon independent expert, retained at the buyer’s sole expense, that the item in question is not as stated in the catalogue. In the event of an error, Modern Auctions, Inc. will rescind the purchase contract.

Contract of Sale. If the bidder is not the highest accepted bidder at the Auction, such deposit, along with the voided Contract of Sale, shall be immediately returned to such bidder after the conclusion of the Auction. Upon receipt of the deposit, MAI will issue a certificate to the registered bidder. Upon presentment to MAI of such certificate prior to the Auction, with appropriate personal identification, the holder of such certificate will be entitled to be issued a special paddle in order to bid by raising such paddle.

The bidder will advise MAI in writing in the event the certificate is lost prior to the Auction.

5. The Skyewiay Property is offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price agreed to with the Seller, below which the Skyewiay Property will not be sold (the “Seller’s Reserve”). MAI may act to protect the Seller’s Reserve by bidding through the auctioneer. The auctioneer may open bidding on the Skyewiay Property below the Seller’s Reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the Seller’s Reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or placing bids in response to other bidders. In the event that the amount bid by the highest bidder is below the Seller’s Reserve, then the Skyewiay Property will be hammered down by the auctioneer as “bought-in.”

6. Upon the fall of the auctioneer’s Hammer, the auctioneer will announce whether or not the Skyewiay Property has been sold and announce the Hammer Price. If the auctioneer announces that the Skyewiay Property has been sold, the successful bidder’s $100,000 deposit (“Hammer Deposit”) will be forwarded to Escrow Exchange West. The Hammer Deposit will be held in an escrow with Escrow Exchange West, which will act as the escrow for the resulting transaction, and will be applied as a credit towards the Purchase Price, and the successful bidder shall comply with such other Conditions of Sale and contractual requirements. The escrow period for the purchase and sale transaction shall be 10 days, and shall commence when the Hammer Deposit is deposited with Escrow Exchange West. The successful bidder agrees to sign any further escrow instructions required by Escrow Exchange West to facilitate the resulting transaction.

Chicago Title Company shall act as the title company in the resulting transaction.

7. If the Buyer fails to comply with the Contract of Sale, in addition to other rights and remedies available to the Seller, the sale shall be cancelled and the Seller shall be entitled to retain the Hammer Deposit, or some portion thereof, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in full satisfaction of all damages suffered by Seller by reason of Buyer’s default pursuant to the Contract of Sale. If any sale is so cancelled, the Skyewiay Property may, at the auctioneers’ discretion, be reoffered and resold. In the event that the Seller shall, on the closing date set forth in the Contract of Sale, fail to convey

title to the Skyewiay Property in accordance with

Why do we make plans, if the future is unknown anyway? How do we make plans, if coincidence may take it all apart in seconds? Do you stick to a plan? Or do you love to improvise?

ESMoA, in collaboration with the Wende Museum, will combine rare objects from the central planning processes of Eastern Europe with artworks by Egon Schiele, Odilon Redon, Stephan Balkenhol, Cornelius Voelker and many more. The juxtaposition will reveal how different artists and administrators deal with planning, quality controlling and motivational reward systems.
