LOT 65 VERSO DETAIL

Nicole Eisenman When Brooklyn-based artist Nicole Eisenman’s bold, idiosyncratic work first hit the walls of New York galleries in the early nineties, no one knew how to respond. Was it a feminist revision of art history? A disruptive “queering” of trite scenes culled from popular cartoons and commercial culture? A satirical psychoanalytical take on the monstrousness of public and private human experience? The answer, it turns out, was all of the above and then some. With its unique blend of lucid and imaginative elements, and gloriously awkward merging of the banal with the absurd, her 1992 Bacon-esque portrait Jew Drag King eludes simple categorization. The work is an inversion of mainstream conventions synthesized with counterculture lifestyles, creating a figurative language distinct to Eisenman.

novella Metamorphosis, and Disney’s cloyingly saccharine Bambi cartoon, which quite literally transforms the latter into a vaguely sinister, yet no less charming version of itself. (One morning, when Bambi woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed into a horrible vermin, indeed.) Gioni further notes, “she doesn’t passively genuflect” in front of the sources from which she draws, “she resurrects it and camouflages it into our present.” Pulling as much from art history as from popular culture, her arresting tableaus allude to a kind of warped sublimity where everyday acts like sleeping, eating, walking, or making love become at once comical, dark, absurd, grotesque, and above all, unsettling.

It would seem that Eisenman would not have it any other way. Her potent and decidedly maximalist oeuvre, which includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, collages, installations, and videos, runs the gamut in terms of both subject matter and medium. “I’ve never been able to hone in on one way of doing things,” she admits. “For years, it caused me a lot of anxiety, but I’m finally okay with it.”

Lewis, Jacqueline. “Painter Nicole Eisenman Hides Nothing.” Cultured, Jan. 2017.

Eisenman’s singular voice is bolstered by the rich medley of references to which she alludes in her work. She freely summons a motley mix of art historical allusions, referencing masterpieces created by the likes of Picasso, Munch, Giotto, Goya, Cézanne, and Holbein. Yet, as Massimiliano Gioni, the artistic director of New York’s New Museum, stresses, “in her revision, criticism and expansion of the canon of art history, Nicole not only refuses certain positions but also rediscovers and opens up her work to other traditions that have been marginalized or put aside—and whether it is the work of men or women is even less important.” Eisenman is not afraid of convoluting her visual narratives by throwing a proverbial wrench into the sources she references. Additional citations from diverse sources such as Shakespearian dramas, idioms of Social Realism and Neo-Expressionism, and an uneasy mélange of comics, politics, and pornography, create new dimensions within her work. Her 1993 India ink on paper, Bambi Gregor, is an apt example with its irreverent mix of references to Kafka’s unsettling

Bernard “Tony” Rosenthal Remarking on a new body of smaller-scaled sculptures by Tony Rosenthal, including Mother and Child (1953), in the November 1953 edition of Arts & Architecture then-Chairman of the Department of Art at UCLA, Gibson Danes, described the artist’s recent bronze works as being “lyrical with the gaiety and gravity of a superbly wrought ballet.” “Although autonomous and independent creations,” he continued, “these new works imply an architectural setting. They envelop and electrify the expansive dimension of their ordered world.” Rosenthal’s abstract, geometric sculptures continually embraced a play with seemingly irreconcilable binaries.

Echoing Danes, in 1999 American playwright Edward Albee would go on to note that Rosenthal’s “monumental outdoor pieces, set in landscapes or in busy city spaces, seem always to have been there. His more intimate Wall Sculptures and standing forms have a monumentality no matter what their actual size.” He continues, “Like all the important metal workers - like Stankiewicz, like Caro, like Serra, like Chamberlain - Rosenthal's objects instruct us, alter our perceptions, disturb and thrill us by their audacity, their wonder and their inevitability" — which is to say, by their glorious embrace of complex contradictions. Danes, Gibson. “Rosenthal.” Arts & Architecture Magazine, Nov. 1953, pp. 11–15.

Most widely known for his landmark public art installations, particularly in New York City, Rosenthal created dynamic sculptures out of several mediums including bronze, wood, steel, iron, and aluminum, in an array of sizes ranging from a few inches to several hundred feet. In their acute sensitivity to the relationship between form, site, and material, Rosenthal’s works uniquely bring sculpture and architecture together, regardless of whether they manifested as smaller scale objects placed in an intimate, interior setting, such as Mother and Child (1953), or as monumental structures, like his acclaimed, colossal Cube sculptures. Mother and Child (1953) is nearly 100 inches tall, but is one of the artist’s more intimate works, intended to be placed in an interior setting.

Albee, Edward. Tony Rosenthal, Monograph. Rizzoli, 1999.

Mother and Child (1953) was featured on the cover of the November 1953 edition of Arts & Architecture, and is an excellent example of Rosenthal’s early work. During this time, the sculptor was teaching at the University of California, Los Angeles, and working primarily in bronze. It was only a few years earlier, while stationed in England during the Second World War, that Rosenthal came across the monumental bronze sculptures of Henry Moore, who would be one of the artist’s greatest influences. As Danes noted in 1953, Rosenthal’s work continually “proves that sculpture is a necessary part of any important architectural environment” and that “the universal fact that all significant sculpture conveys meanings which are architectonic by the nature of its three-dimensional life.”

Gehry and Sophie Calle, friends of nearly 25 years, collaborated in 2006 to design Le Téléphone, a large sculpture which was installed as a work of public art in Paris until 2012. The flower-shaped structure was a functioning telephone booth, created with the sole intention of receiving calls from Sophie Calle. From her home just outside of Paris, Calle would call Le Téléphone at random times to converse with whomever happened to be walking by. The calls ranged from 8 seconds to 4 hours. Shortly after Le Téléphone appeared on the Pont du Garigliano in Paris, Gehry created his Memory of Sophie Calle’s Flower (2012), an elegant, cast urethane sculpture referencing the duo’s original collaborative effort. True to its title, Gehry’s sculptural homage to the collaboration appears as but a memory of the piece installed in Paris. Its ethereal translucence and smaller scale stand in sharp contrast to the imposing presence and rich color palette of the original work. Two years later, Calle created In Memory of Frank Gehry’s Flowers (2014), effectively creating a conceptual “Droste effect,” wherein an image is repeated endlessly within the composition. Calle’s work, also published by Gemini G.E.L., features a composition that traces back to the original work and pushes appropriation and collaboration to new limits. Artists have been working together for as long as art has been created, but it has played a particularly significant role in the production of art since the early 1900s, when Cubist and Dadaist artists used it as a key artistic strategy for questioning and redefining the nature of art itself. Memory of Sophie Calle’s Flower is a compelling example of on-going artistic dialogue and memory itself, in the 21st century.

Cy Twombly When Cy Twombly’s work first emerged in the early 1950s many critics scoffed at the deeply expressive gestures, scribbles, drips, and scratches that have come to firmly secure his place as one of the most innovative artists of the 20th century. "My line is childlike but not childish,” the artist once offered in response to criticism pegging his work as simplistic and lacking in clear technique. “It is very difficult to fake ... to get that quality you need to project yourself into the child's line. It has to be felt." The emotional caliber of Twombly’s elegantly orchestrated compositions is palpable. Chock-full of fluid starts and stops, erasures, and replacements, which all lend a manuscript-like quality to his canvases. And while the same highly animated, lyrical scribbles and gestural scratches might be evocative of graffiti, Twombly himself shied away from such identification. "Graffiti is linear and it's done with a pencil, and it's like writing on walls. But in my paintings it's more lyrical," he explained. At their core, Twombly’s “scribble” works point to the subtle tensions between language and its graphic representation. In a short essay penned in an Italian art journal in 1957, incidentally the only written statement the artist ever offered on his work, Twombly noted that each line he made in his work was at its core “the actual experience” of its creation. “It does not illustrate,” he continued, “It is the sensation of its own realization.” Language, especially the written word, are essential to both Twombly’s conceptual and practical approach to painting. A wide variety of literary sources including poems, myths, and historical texts each influenced his work in countless respects. The literature of the Classical world in particular exerted substantial influence on his work as a whole, especially after Twombly moved to Rome in 1957, where he would remain for the rest of his life. While the impact of literature on Twombly’s work is discernable throughout

his oeuvre, perhaps even more dominant is the influence that the actual act of writing itself had on the artist’s work. In emphasizing the inherently visual, graphic nature of the written word, works such as Twombly’s 1967 etching, Note II, blur clear-cut distinctions separating word and image. Twombly’s animated compositions uniquely engage a form of ekphrastic tension that asks the viewer to reconsider the distinctions commonly thought to exist between different registers of communication: the verbal and the visual, the poetic and the plastic, motion and stasis. In these exuberant "scribble" works the visual and the verbal operate in a round of competing proofs effectively producing what Jacques Rancière calls “the pensiveness of the image,” which he identifies as “the latent presence of one regime of expression in another.” Ecstatic works, such as Note II, are ingenious experiments in what happens when both language and images of language take on a life of their own once extracted from their original context. Perhaps this is what lead English Art Historian Simon Schama to conclude: "I have always thought "Twombly" ought to be (if it isn't already) a verb, as in twombly: (vt.): to hover thoughtfully over a surface, tracing glyphs and graphs of mischievous suggestiveness, periodically touching down amidst discharges of passionate intensity. Or, then again, perhaps a noun, as in twombly (n.): A line with a mind of its own."

Wendell Castle In 1966, envelope-pushing American furniture artist Wendell Castle (b. 1932) landed in the pages of Life magazine where he was quoted as saying “I have no special interest in form following function,” in reference to the famous Louis Sullivan axiom. Castle’s work continues to attest to this predisposition some six decades later. Often dubbed the “founding father” of the Art Furniture Movement and a strong proponent of the American Crafts Movement, Castle’s elegant but bold sculptural furniture works engage biomorphic, organic forms that favor whimsy and grace over sheer functionality. Castle has consistently defined his work as sculpture with a caveat, noting that it also “performs some useful function in addition to, I hope, being beautiful." Born in Emporia, Kansas in 1932, Castle didn’t set out to become a furniture designer. While pursuing formal training in industrial design and sculpture at the University of Kansas, two experiences set Castle on a path to developing the approach to furniture design for which he is now so widely known. First, as Castle began experimenting with uncommon industrial materials in his sculptural works he noted that some of these pieces “quite by accident ended up by looking a bit like strange pieces of furniture with seats at the wrong heights … That idea interested me and I began to go in that direction." The second experience was when Castle stumbled upon the wooden works of American sculptor Wharton Esherick, who brought the principles of sculpture to bear on ordinary, utilitarian objects, such as chairs and tables. The discovery of Esherick’s work would prove pivotal to Castle’s career. “I didn’t realize there were people who made furniture by hand,” Castle has recollected of this crucial moment. “I didn’t even know there was a field.” This revelation would lead Castle to reconsider traditional philosophies defining craft and design from fine art, while altering the direction of his practice in one fell swoop.

give up on sculpture, because I felt it was a higher form of art. But I also didn’t understand why furniture was so low on the totem pole.” Not waiting for an answer as to why these two creative fields remained formally segregated, Castle began designing work that both confounded and delighted critics by blending the two in wholly unprecedented ways. "I could see after a brief industrial design job that no one was really interested in making things of sort of experimental or unusual nature,” Castle recollected on one occasion. “The only way I could make what I wanted to make was to make it myself." Crafted from superb, exotic hardwoods and industrial materials, including plastics, metals, and veneers, Castle’s organic approach to furniture design lends his works an uncommonly biomorphic, sculptural quality. Equally organic is the philosophy that Castle takes with regard to his practice as a whole. "My vocabulary has always been organic; sometimes I think of it as actually growing from a seed/idea. Hence, my ideas actually grow into something. Each idea has other ideas which grow from it," the artist once explained. With its lyrical lines and over-the-top, biomorphic form, Castle’s superb Abilene (2008) chair is an exceptional example of the artist’s signature work. True to form, this spectacular piece resists precise classification. It may neither be comfortably called a piece of furniture, nor a sculpture. Abilene is at once classic and modern, paying homage to the traditional craftsmanship that influenced Castle’s forms, while utilizing modern materials and language of industrial design.

Confounded by the seemingly arbitrary distinctions between art and design, Castle began to question the double standard applied to each of these classifications. “The general thought then was, if something had a function, it couldn’t be fine art,” Castle remarked. “That was a dilemma: I didn’t want to

Yaacov Agam In 1964, Israeli Op artist Yaacov Agam laid out his artistic credo. His statement detailed how he began producing the kinetic and optical art for which he is now so widely known. “My intention was to create a work of art which would transcend the visible, which cannot be perceived except in stages, with the understanding that it is a partial revelation and not the perpetuation of the existing,” he explained. Often called the “Father of kinetic art,” Agam’s vibrant, dynamic works demonstrate an ongoing preoccupation with time and movement, teasing out allusions to fourth dimension where time is both regulated and made visible. “For twenty years, I tried, and finally I understood, the image must be something that becomes, not something that is,” he recounted in 1971. “Where is truth, where is the true order? The only truth is the truth of states of being, and the passage of time which destroys itself.” Agam first received formal training as an artist at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. He studied under Mordecai Ardon, who introduced Agam to his former teacher at the Bauhaus, color theorist Johannes Itten, who was then cultivating a practice in Zurich. Agam briefly moved to Zurich to study under Itten, then continued his studies at the Atelier d’art abstrait and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris, where he lives and works to this day. His works, which span the scope of sculpture, serigraphy, painting, ceramics, etchings, drawings, and stained glass, typically enlist viewer participation and often incorporate elements of light and sound. The son of an Orthodox Rabbi and Kabbalist, Agam’s formalist artworks often

draw on elements of Kabbalistic mysticism and incorporate aspects of esoteric philosophies derived from other religions. Melding formalism and mysticism, Agam has continually countered the label of abstraction being connected to his work. “Abstract art shows a situation on a canvas. I show a state of being which does not exist, the imperceptible absence of an image,” he insists. “The infinity of possibilities, opposing the chance of a presence, a possibility.” There is no passive absorption when viewing a work by Agam: the viewer is an active participant in engaging and setting his works into motion. His best-known series of works are comprised of a series of lenticular painted panels that are devised to continually shift and oscillate as viewers change their position. The similarities between this early painted wood relief, Untitled (c. 1960) (Lot 167), and later kinetic sculpture, Continuity (1980) (Lot 168), illustrate how even though the artist employed increasingly complex techniques, the shifting “state of being” enacted through the movement of the viewer remains the key to fully activating the works. As is the case with the artist’s oeuvre as a whole, these works are intended to remain in a condition of perpetual flux, suspended in an ongoing state of “becoming” in order to, as Agam himself puts it, “show what can be seen within the limits of possibility which exists in the midst of coming into being.”

Frederick Hammersley In the autumn of 1967 Frederick Hammersley gave a series of lectures in Claremont, California in which he laid out and elaborated on what he considered to be the seven essential elements of the painter’s language: shape, line, value, color, form, pattern, and texture. Over the course of these talks, Hammersley continually returned to the importance of shape above the other elements. “Of all the tools – shape – I feel is needed before you can do anything else,” he asserted. “Value, color, pattern and the rest cannot exist unless there is an edge where they begin and end. This edge of the shape, this boundary can be of many different kinds, either clearly defined, or soft and vague. The character of the edge can either emphasize or reduce, but it never destroys the shape.” The body of geometric, “Hard edge” work that resulted from this postulation is that which is most often associated with Hammersley, who would pursue the same idiom throughout the rest of his career. Paintings, such as his 1967 Home run, would begin as rhythmically orchestrated studies in sketchbooks. In these studies Hammersley explored the interactions between shape and color on geometric grids that ultimately plotted out their arrangements for the canvas. “At first I would paint a shape that I would ‘see’ there,” Hammersley noted. “That one colored shape in that canvas would work, or fit. The next shape would come from the feeling of the first plus the canvas. This process would continue until the last shape completed the picture.” It is in this dynamic between the intuitive and the systematic that lends an element of exuberance to the precise, economical style of Hammersley’s most well-known works, including Home run. Speaking of his geometric abstractions in another lecture entitled “About My Painting” Hammersley identified what he considered a recurrent theme in his work: “It is the creating of a harmony of opposites, but most important, the interaction of these opposites creates a third thing, outside the identity of the shapes themselves.” This third thing, he explained, is not something that is easily articulated, but undoubtedly felt: “I know that an area of quiet can suggest action, and an active shapes group can suggest repose.” That Hammersley would speak of his paintings as dealing in the undefined comes as no surprise, given that his practice was largely rooted in the intuitive. Hammersley divided his works into three distinct categories: “hunches,” “organics,” and “geometrics.” “The structure making is of prime importance,” Hammersley stressed. “Until this is right nothing further can be done. After the picture works in line

the shapes ‘become’ colors. I answer the hunch as it comes.” Hammersley’s geometrics also embraced intuition, but in a different respect. In spite of their very precise compositions and clearly delineated color fields, Hammersley’s geometric works such as Home run rely on a kind of haphazard, yet systematic form of free association. In Hammersley’s paintings “the parameters are where the arbitrary lies,” as curator James Glisson puts it. Hammersley’s works attest to an acknowledgement that “art comes from a letting go or a loosening of control” even as they understand that “the arbitrary lies in axioms and ground rules. Why make a square painting in the first place? Why does a chessboard have 64 squares?” In a 1984 talk entitled "Life Can be, Black & White" given at Hoshour Gallery in Albuquerque Hammersley himself addressed these questions: “I settled on the square because it is neutral. It demands nothing from you. A vertical canvas, on the other hand being mildly aggressive, has a tendency to make you stand up. A horizontal canvas, being passive, has a tendency to make you lie down. A square is neither of these. It is noncommittal. It is the actor shapes put on this square that may make you stand up, lie down, or feel stimulated. It is a combination of opposites—no comment, with a comment.” Free association also played a role with regard to how Hammersley selected the playful titles for his works. “The idea is to eliminate judgment and let the image prompt whatever words of phrases that come,” he said. “The title is right when it does what the painting does—at least two different things. At times the title will look one way, yet sound another, or be a pun, etc. Like the painting, it must be more than what it is.” Titles were never an afterthought for Hammersley, who ardently insisted that they play an active role in how a work generates meaning. “As the observer looks at a painting he experiences changes and shifts of relationships. Likewise, when he considers the title he should be able to experience various shades of meaning that echo those found in the painting. The title and the painting contribute one to the other—an exchange of meaning the observer creates for himself.”

Born in the former Yugoslavia, long-time Los Angeles-based artist Vasa arrived in the United States just in time to help significantly shape what would become known as the Light and Space movement, which found its nascence in 1960s California. “I came to the United States because of Abstract Expressionism,” he notes in a recent monograph. “Instead, I found Minimalism, and more.” That “more” would lead to a long career focused on an elaborate investigation into the phenomenology of light, optics, color, volume, scale, and, ultimately, perception. Before he started producing prismatic, laminated cast acrylic sculptures, Vasa was busy establishing the foundations for these later works in the creation of polychromatic, nonrepresentational geometric abstractions in acrylic lacquer on wood. One such example is his remarkable 1966 work, Contact, a highly reduced, bare-boned ode to pure form and bold swathes of hard-edged color. There is a clear link between such earlier pieces in wood with the later works. Vasa’s minimalist works in wood were crucial stepping-stones in the conceptual and technical processes that ultimately lead to the production of the reflective and refractive acrylic sculptures of his later practice. Already dissatisfied with traditional materials and techniques, Vasa first used acrylic lacquer because, as he explained in 1966, “I am working with mechanically applied industrial finishes, because no classical medium can give me the fine surface.” Often pairing two opposing colors, as in the case of Contact, in these earlier works there is a discernable effort to put the principles of color theory to the test, while enlisting form as a primary component of the experiment. Vasa continues this experiment to this day in his sleek laminated cast acrylic sculptures and his dizzying technicolor-stained geometric grid paintings that have dominated his later career. The pursuit to understand the interactions and interdependence between perceptible phenomena such as color, form, light, and scale equally spilled over into the content of the courses on color theory that Vasa taught in his capacity as a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles in the Department of Design and Media Arts. Vasa insists that his work has always been “only about itself,” but his oeuvre taken as a whole seems to continually seek to make sense of, and re-examine, the distinct respects in which perceptual phenomena both affect and are affected by those who view and experience them.
