Richard Artschwager

Locations, 1969

Formica on wood with screenprinted plexiglas & 5 blps made of wood, glass, plexiglas and rubberized horsehair with Formica

box: 15 x 10 3/4 x 5 in. (38.1 x 27.3 x 12.7 cm)

Edition 35 of 90

$22,000

Locations represents a material and textural exploration of the oval shape known as a "blp"—a conceptual focal point Artschwager repeatedly returned to throughout his career. Neither sculpture nor painting, this assemblage of hanging forms and frames evades classification, deliberately failing to locate itself in terms of genre despite its title.

Tauba Auerbach

[2,3], 2011

paper, ink, binder's board, glue, fabric, silkscreen

closed: 20 3/4 x 16 1/2 x 4 1/2 in. (52.7 x 41.9 x 11.4 cm)

open: dimensions variable
Edition 678 of 1000, 85 AP

$5,000

Auerbach's oversized pop-up book features six die-cut paper sculptures that unfold into elaborate, brightly colored structures. Each takes its cue from a different geometric form including the pyramid, sphere, ziggurat, octagonal bipyramid (gem), arc, and möbius-strip. Housed in a specially designed slipcase, the project stands as an astonishing art-object, part bookwork and part sculpture, and represents an advance in the field of pop-up technology.

Air: 24 Hours documents the passage of time, depicting a different area of the artist’s home and studio in Manhattan once every hour over the course of a single day. Following a set of self-imposed rules, the three pages offered here (6 p.m., 5 p.m., 5 a.m.) share an underlying grid-based structure. Throughout the series, Bartlett makes public some of these most personal aspects of her daily life while retaining a sense of ironic distance and mysterious inaccessibility.

Jonathan Borofsky

Object of Magic, 1989

screenprint and woodcut in black and tan on Arches wove paper

47 x 60 in. (119.4 x 152.4 cm)

Edition 17 of 18

Published by Gemini G.E.L.

$8,000

Borofsky came to prominence in the New York art world of the mid-1970s, “hitting the stagnant art scene […] like a blast of crazy, fresh air” with his highly personal style emphasizing the emotive and fantastical recesses of human consciousness. In Object of Magic, he employs text as imagery—a recurring technique used by the artist—to contemplate the nature of the universe and the philosophical and psychological values inherent in the human spirit.

$8,000

In 1968 Borofsky began a daily practice of writing numbers in succession linearly on paper for several hours every day. Moving from one to infinity, he continued the ritual for years until he began to make sketches and other works of art, using the number he had reached that day as his signature: “For me, numbers are like God. They connect us all together in a way nothing else does. Like magic.”

This limited-edition print was produced to commemorate Boursier-Mougenot’s exhibition from here to ear at the Curve Gallery in London’s Barbican Centre in 2010. As one of the centre’s most popular installations to date, the walk-through exhibition transformed the space into a living soundscape through the actions of 40 zebra finches—who perched, fed, and nested among discretely placed musical equipment.

"Amelie and I were eleven years old. We had a habit of stealing from department stores on Thursday afternoons. We did this for one year. When her mother began to suspect, in order to frighten us, she said that a policeman had spotted us […] Our last robbery had been a pair of red shoes too big for us to wear. Amelie kept the right shoe, and I kept the left.” – The full version of Calle's personal anecdote is transcribed beneath a related image.

$875

Working from photographs that she transforms through a process in several stages, Caracciolo creates black and white images on the theme of Fire. Before photographing the fires, the artist spends long hours admiring them, seated before the fireplace. With hypnotic fascination, she fixes her gaze on the tumultuous flames before capturing them on film.

This Cibachrome print from Charlesworth’s 2005 Simple Text series uses the photographic field as a ritual or meditative space. Employing simple materials and objects staged as offerings, the series pays homage to the physical properties of art and celebrate the act of becoming.

Matias Faldbakken

Flat Box Lithography #03, 2014

lithograph

paper: 30 x 25 in. (76.2 x 63.5 cm)

Edition 6 of 12

signed, dated, numbered bottom recto

$3,500

Derived from a series of works Faldbakken exhibited at Paula Cooper Gallery in 2014, the Box lithographs interrogate the boundary between the precious, quasi-sacred quality of the art object and the disposable yet nostalgic nature of cardboard packing boxes. The works also speak to the ideas of circulation at play in Faldbakken’s “container works”—cans, jugs, lockers, sacks, bags, and other generic vessels for storage and transport that potentially contain goods of some sort. These flattened packing boxes evolved out of an encounter with a Joseph Beuys work consisting of a framed olive oil box.

Liz Glynn

Untitled Wall Fragment (Open House), 2017

cast concrete

12 x 9 x 2 1/2 in. (30.5 x 22.9 x 6.4 cm)

Edition 21 of 27, 3 APs

$2,500

Glynn’s major public commission titled Open House transformed a plaza in Central Park into an open-air ballroom—like those privately owned by New York City’s wealthy elite at the turn of the 20th century. The artist's lavish objects evoked the historic homes, but with a twist—her works featured sculpted additions and were cast in concrete, a modern populist material, underscoring concerns of growing socio-economic divides.

Using a visceral and immediate approach to molding clay, Glynn models her Figure Studies on masterworks and archetypal compositions from art history. The resulting objects bear evidence of the artist’s hand—pinched and poked to emphasize certain expressive aspects of the improvised form.

Robert Gober

Untitled, 1993-94

photolithography on archival (French Dur-O-Tone) paper

Edition 53 of 75 + 10 AP

Published by the artist

signed and dated under fold: "R. Gober '93-4"

SOLD

Gober’s works replicate everyday objects and images with an eerie precision and, usually, a detail or two that is just a little bit off—drawing out difficult childhood memories and an unease with the domestic rituals and lingering puritanical attitudes of the suburban middle class. He extended his trompe l'oeil methods into printmaking by fashioning several editions of photolithographs that look just like newspaper pages. Here, Gober mocks up a faux supermarket circular advertising page featuring a whole pig.

Robert Gober/Joyce Carol Oates

Heat, 1989

$3,500

The artist’s book Heat is a collaboration between the artist Robert Gober and the writer Joyce Carol Oates, who wrote this short story about the life and premature death of a pair of twins in a small American town. Gober designed the two locked diaries, which include images inspired by the text with printed endpapers created by Gober featuring a pattern of male and female genitals. He produced a wallpaper from the pattern the same year, and a suite of prints two years later.

Robert Grosvenor

Untitled, circa 2000-2013

c-print

image: 4 x 6 in. (10.2 x 15.2 cm)

frame: 13 x 14 1/2 in. (33 x 36.8 cm)

Edition 1 of 2, 1 APs

$7,500

In his photographic works, Grosvenor translates his distinct formal vocabulary into two-dimensional snapshots of everyday life. The intimate images present familiar objects in striking and often comical arrangements. Toting flattened colors, silhouetted subjects and cropped perspectives, they offer an alternate reality that is parallel to ours, yet oddly alien and abstruse.

Hans Haacke

Canal @ Hudson (from Proposal for poster commemorating 9/11 with photographs of posters produced by Creative Time 6 months after attack, on approximately 100 media boards in Manhattan), 2001 - 2002

Edition AP1 of 3, + 2 AP

$5,000

For his 2002 poster project commemorating the attack on the World Trade Center, Haacke produced an edition of monochrome white posters from which the silhouettes of the Twin Towers had been cut out. These were glued onto poster walls around New York City so that the underlying printed matter—often ads for shows, films or records—remained partly visible in the negative volumes. 

Michael Hurson

Hurson’s Gravure de Crayon is emblematic of the artist’s signature images of anthropomorphized inanimate objects. An edition of this work in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York was recently exhibited in "Artist’s Choice: Amy Sillman—The Shape of Shape," a collection installation celebrating the reopening of the museum in October 2019.

Edition 59 of 100

signed, dated, and numbered on verso

$2,000

Lawler’s black-and-white photograph captures an installation by Maurizio Cattelan in the entrance of Paula Cooper Gallery featuring a mouse dangling from a tightrope. Printed on fiber-based paper, the work is intended for placement in the viewer/collector’s own library. Like much of Lawler’s work, the piece aims to situate its content directly in the context in which it is shown.

Julian Lethbridge

Lethbridge’s abstract vocabulary often originates from random or naturally occurring patterns, such as shattered glass or a spider’s web. Using layers of overlapping strokes, Lethbridge builds multifaceted surfaces that expose the form and process of their underlying repetitions.

Sol LeWitt

Schematic Drawing for Muybridge II (from Artists and Photographs Portfolio), 1970

black and white offset lithograph in envelope

paper: 5 1/8 x 12 3/8 in. (14 x 31.8 cm)

envelope: 5 1/2 x 12 1/2 in. (13 x 31.4 cm)

Edition of 1200 (200 produced)

Published by Multiples, Inc., New York

$400

Printed in a horizontal line on a single rectangular card, the small, cropped, circular, black-and-white photos offer a visual spatial progression. The photograph on the far left presents a long, angled view of a nude female standing in a nondescript darkened room. The subsequent photos capture the camera moving closer to the subject, narrowing the frame with each stop until the final photo on the far right is an extreme close-up of the woman's navel. Interestingly, LeWitt designed this piece to be viewed directionally, encasing it in an envelope with an opening on the right vertical edge, so the viewer encounters the extreme close-up first. As the card withdraws from the envelope, each photo is evidence of the camera moving backward through space, thus visually describing more, not less, of the static female subject.

The artist’s performance and video installation Absolute Event was presented at Paula Cooper Gallery in 2013, for which two actors performed a dialogue of a political strategist coaching a politician from behind the scenes of a situation room. The gallery was transformed into a control room and a situation room, incorporating elements from a disco nightclub including this mirrored disco ball altered to look like a globe.

Miyamoto is a preeminent feminist figure of minimalism, and a pioneer of a new and radically warm brand of rigorous abstraction, introducing handmade, irregular, and intimate elements that both modulated the movement’s unforgiving visual language and advanced it, by critique.

Oldenburg: “When Carl Solway called me in May 1972 and asked if I would be interested in proposing a large-scale work for Cincinnati, he mentioned that partial funding for such a work might be sought from the Procter & Gamble Corporation, whose world headquarters are in that city. The most familiar product of that company is the bar of pure white soap [with] its embossed slogan, ‘lt floats.’ [...] I proposed to Carl that a colossal soap be made by Procter & Gamble and launched in [the Ohio River in] Cincinnati with appropriate ceremony. It would thereafter float down the river, stopping at towns along the way.” As the colossal soap moved from town to town, it would dissolve and grow smaller. At Cairo, Illinois, the now somewhat-less-than-colossal soap would slip into the Mississippi. From there on, it would become more and more difficult to gather people to celebrate the visit of the soap. By the time the soap reached Baton Rouge, it would be the right size for a multiple.

Using images from the NBA archive, Pfeiffer digitally erases all but one of the players as well as all contextual details including text, lines on the court, and signifiers on the player’s jersey. The resulting image—alluring yet eerie—recasts the phenomenon of spectacle to uncover its psychological, cultural, and racial underpinning.

Exploring the effect of color on form, Shapiro produces compositions on paper, including collages and prints. He prefers colors that have a strong graphic identity, such as red, blue, and green, and his choices generate color-as-color, a structural color that readily distinguishes one element from another.

edition size unknown

SOLD

An exhibition poster designed by Smithson for his storied October 1969 installation in a quarry outside Rome. The first of Smithson’s major outdoor earthworks intended to exist exclusively outside, ​Asphalt Rundown​ is a demonstration of what he called the “crystalline structure of time.” Smithson poured a truckload of hot asphalt down a steep embankment, which cooled and hardened as it fell. The resulting sculpture can be seen as time frozen, mid-flow, or as yet another sedimentary layer in the infinite accumulation of time.

Edition 49 of 50, 1 AP

$1,500

A collaboration by Marjorie Welish and Dan Walsh, Between Sincerity and Irony is an accordion structured book in which folds develop complex interactions between this phased art dialogue. One first sees Walsh’s circles expanding to lozenges, empty, then full. Underneath and exposed is a disjunctive image by Welish wherein the same yellow appearing in two bands samples two very differing semantics. But that is only the beginning of the adventure as the book unfolds variously.

Silver Prints (for O'Sullivan), 2007

wax and silver leaf on silver print mounted on museum board

stamped and signed verso

$9,500

In his Silver Prints, Wright pays tribute to the alchemical magic and vital/historic role of silver in the process of photographic printing: “I photographed silver leaf on glass, often allowing a shadow to be cast, and when the ‘silver print’ was still wet fresh out of the bath I randomly dropped pieces of silver leaf that adhered and became part of the picture plane of the photograph itself. I then allowed the adhered silver to age and color to various degrees before ultimately sealing the tarnishing process with a thin wax coat, a traditional protective material used since the nineteenth century. I entitled the resulting images simply ‘Silver Prints’ and dedicated them individually to various nineteenth-century masters of the medium.”
