Swen Swenson was a classically trained dancer, best known for his work on Broadway and television.

He also loved art, he had the world’s largest collection of carousel figures, and he bred and raised Yorkies for over forty years (the present lot is a portrait of one his cherished canines). But, above all, Swen was an activist, and although passionate about many causes, he was a relentless advocate in the fight against AIDS. Among his many philanthropic acts, he was known to spend his weekends on Santa Monica Boulevard raising money for the disease by letting people pet his “gay” dog, Fever, for one dollar.

Swen met Keith Haring in the 1980s and took the artist to his first ACT UP meeting in New York.

The two maintained a close friendship until the artist’s death in 1990 and Swen continued to champion and support Haring until his own death from an AIDSrelated illness in 1993. Bound by a commitment to fight the disease, the two shared a unique bond, illustrated in the loving correspondence and thoughtful letters he sent to Haring before his death. In one such note, Swen writes, “Dear Keith, There’s an awful lot of love from so many people surrounding you to help you pull through this. So, hang in there, Buddy!” The card is signed with love from Swen, Fever, and his two Yorkies, Stash and Popcorn.

Central to Reinhard Mucha’s practice are the ideas of transivity and interconnectedness. His works are often assemblages, objects of his own creation melded with elements of mass production, high-end craft, stark modernity and always dense in their construction. On its own, the materiality speaks for itself, weighty, rich and rooted in historical traditions. Mucha uses these implications to frame the conceptual and intangible and bridge the gap between observer and idea.

The present lot, BBK Edition is comprised of two posters advertising Mucha’s exhibitions from the past. One exhibition, aptly titled Kopfidktate (which roughly translates to You Copycat), was staged first in 1980 and then ten years later in 1990 and illustrates a child observing a mighty steam engine. The other, Kasse beim Faher (Buy ticket from the operator) was held at Kunsthalle Bern and Kunsthalle Basel in 1987 and depicts a pastoral scene. As is the case in much of his practice, the frames are very much a part of the work and bear Mucha’s signature engraved lines signifying train tracks—a reoccurring theme in his work, referencing industrialism offset by nature and the indeterminate symbolic network that connects us all. These heavy, intricate, oak constructions elevate the posters to unique works of art that are both institutionalizing and commemorative. While redundant in their very nature (printed multiples) and in subject matter (reoccurring exhibitions), Mucha literally and figuratively transforms the works in such a way that they become inherently unique, embedded within the complex network of the observer’s own personal experience and the grand narrative.

$ 15,000 – 20,000

experimental undertaking that required the unprecedented approach of putting process ahead of theory, a method Albers employed in the classroom. Further, it required a high level of precision in regards to color and printing.

To realize the project, Albers worked closely with two former students; Sewell Sillman who mixed eight-hundred plus color inks for the plates of Interaction of Color, and Norman Ives who arrived at the format of the book divided into three parts: text, eighty folders containing color studies, and Albers commentary on them.

The present lot comes from the Estate of Sewell Sillman and is a galley proof for Interaction of Color. The proof is comprised of a typed copy of Albers’ text, 75 color study folios that include a mix of screenprints and sketches with hand-written notes by Albers and Sillman as well as several of the original collages and works completed by Albers’ students.

This comprehensive collection provides valuable insight into what it took for Albers create a work that remains an influential and groundbreaking book of color still today.

All purchases will be subject to state sales tax in Illinois or New York unless the buyer has provided us with a valid certificate of exemption from such tax.

Payment Procedure You agree to pay all Buyer Costs immediately following Wright’s acceptance of the Purchase Price Bid unless other arrangements have been approved by Wright in advance. If Wright approves of such other arrangement for payment, Wright may at its discretion require you to make a nonrefundable down payment on Buyer Costs. All payments must be made in US Dollars, in any of the following acceptable forms of payment:

• Cash

• Check, with acceptable identification

• Visa, MasterCard or American Express

Wright reserves the right to charge and collect an additional 2% of payments made by credit card.

Title and Risk of Loss Title to a Lot purchased in accordance with these Terms shall not pass to the buyer until Wright has received the Buyer Costs (including clearance of checks and wire transfers).

We reserve the right to delay delivery of or otherwise prevent access to any purchased Lot until Wright has received all Buyer Costs. notwithstanding passage of title, risk of loss to a Lot passes immediately to buyer upon Wright’s acceptance of a Purchase Price Bid. All sales are final.

Accordingly, prior to bidding, prospective buyers considering export of purchased lots should familiarize themselves with relevant export and import regulations of the countries concerned.

It is solely the buyer’s responsibility to comply with these laws and to obtain any necessary export, import and endangered species licenses or permits. Failure to obtain a license or permit or delay in so doing will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot. As a courtesy to clients, Wright will advise clients who inquire about lots containing potentially regulated plant or animal material, but we do not accept liability for errors or for failing to advise on lots containing protected or regulated species.

Delivery Buyer is solely responsible for collection of purchased Lots from Wright facilities, including making arrangements and paying all costs associated with packing and delivery. We may, as a courtesy to the buyer, provide or arrange packing, shipping or similar logistical services, or refer the buyer to third parties who specialize in these services. Any such services referred, provided or arranged by us are at the buyer’s sole risk and expense, we assume no responsibility for any act or omission of any party in connection with any such service or reference, and we make no representations or warranties regarding such parties or their services. You expressly release Wright from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website or services.

Storage, Abandonment and Related Charges All purchased Lots not collected from Wright’s facilities by buyer or buyer’s authorized agents within thirty (30) days following the Sale Date will become subject to storage fees of not less than $ 5 per day. A late payment fee equal to 1.5 % per month may be assessed on any Buyer Costs remaining unpaid thirty (30) days following the Sale Date.
