1991) on a darksome road, 1961 etching and aquatint pencil signed and dated lower right, numbered 9/75. biography from the archives of askart: a painter and graphic artist, minna citron was born in newark, new jersey, in 1896, but did not begin studying art until 1924. by then married and the mother of two sons, citron sought a change from her conventional life. she began studying painting under benjamin kopman at the brooklyn institute of arts and sciences, new york city, and then went on to become a student for three years at the new york school of applied design for women, new york city, from which she graduated with honors. in 1928 she enrolled at new york city's art students' league. there, her primary mentor and strong early influence was kenneth hayes miller, the leader of what was often called \"the 14th street school\", home to such artists as reginald marsh, muralist edward laning, rafael soyer, and isabel bishop. following the lure of freedom, citron divorced her husband in 1934 and turned completely to her art career, never remarrying. like many of her fellow 14th-street artists during the 1930s, she painted numerous scenes of union square, new york city, where she had her studio. the daumier-influenced citron tended to observe union square humanity and society in general, with a humorous eye, satire being her favorite mode of expression. \"femininities\" (1935), one of her first solo exhibitions, was typical of her witty style as she depicted women in unflattering situations; \"beauty culture, \" for example, mocks the vanity of beauty parlor patrons, who seem virtually imprisoned by their hair-dryers. citron could find humor almost anywhere: while finalizing her divorce in reno, nevada, she visited some casinos and came away with several \"spicy scenes\" of the players and dealers she encountered. some time after that, she served on a jury and recorded in paint her wry testimony of that experience. with the growth of government-sponsored art in the late 1930s, citron's artistic interests evolved from satire to social awareness. employed by the work projects administration (wpa) federal art project in new york city, she taught painting from 1935-1937, and between 1938 and 1942 she traveled to tennessee, enthusiastically creating tennessee valley authority (tva) murals at the newport and manchester post offices. she also painted a series of tennessee valley scenes, which she exhibited at manhattan's midtown galleries. citron was drawn to printmaking in the late 1930s after seeing some unusual work by stanley william hayter, whose atelier 17 had been forced to relocate from paris, france, to new york city with the beginning of world war ii. this famous graphics workshop attracted many refugee artists from europe, notably jacques lipchitz, andre masson, salvador dali, and marc chagall. citron spent much time at the atelier 17, learning new techniques from the europeans and embarking upon her own innovations. she combined the deliberate with the accidental, for example, happily exploiting the opportunity a broken etching plate provided to recreate a design. her goal was to find \"an actual third dimension in painting as well as printmaking\". toward this end, she piled on paint and varnish, creating raised surfaces on her canvases or plates. later, she began cutting into the surfaces. her art became progressively more abstract, thanks in part to her continuing association with atelier 17, which she visited often after it was moved back to france at the war's end. in the 1950s she exhibited a series of experimental prints at the peter deitsch gallery in a show titled \"the uncharted course, \" which showed the journey of a plate through several incarnations made possible by breakage, other accidental effects, and citron's own creative energy. citron's art hangs in the metropolitan museum of art, and the museum of modern art (moma), both in new york city; and the national gallery of art, washington d.c.

1954) old man, male portrait oil on masonite signed lower left. aca gallery, ny label verso. biography from the archives of askart: the following, submitted october 2005 by william woolf, is a biography of the artist created by his wife, ann tromka. the tromka's were good friends of woolf's parents. what i relate here about tromka, from the time he came to \"america\" is what i remember of what he told me during our first years together. tromka was seven years old when he came here from poland with his family. at immigration headquarters (then called castle garden) the official clearing the family for entrance, suggested that since they were now in the united states, it would be a good idea for them to take an american name, suggesting \"phillips\" instead of their foreign name of trompka (the original spelling). so following his suggestion, they took the name of phillips, and phillips it remained until 1930 when tromka changed it back, dropping the \"p\" for euphonious reasons. abe related to me that when he was on the boat coming to new york, he watched a woman painting and was fascinated, and then and there decided he was going to be an artist too. he did not speak to me much about his childhood, except that it was a very difficult one, and at fifteen left home and was on his own, making do as best he could at odd jobs of every kind. his formal schooling stopped in the sixth grade and from then on he was self-taught. he discovered the henry street settlement early in life and spent all of his spare time there, fascinated by the many activities he found so much to his liking. actually the henry street settlement in his youth was his home and his school. while still attending public school, his teacher recognized his talent for drawing, and called it to the attention of lillian d. wald, head of the settlement. she, too, was so impressed, that an art class was started at the settlement, and an art teacher engaged, a miss nora hamilton, an artist. miss hamilton taught him how to etch, and then, when he wanted an etching press of his own, and had saved enough money to buy one, he had no place for it. miss wald invited him to use the nurses' quarters at the settlement as his studio, which he did at night, when the nurses were not there. (he worked during the day and that was why he concentrated on drawing and etching which could be done at night.) so he etched and drew the surroundings and the people he knew so well, and when he was seventeen years old, miss wald used his drawings and etchings to illustrate her book \"the house on henry street,\" published by henry holt and company in 1915. by 1931 the book had gone into its 5th printing and is now a collector's item. during the period from 1915 through 1927, tromka kept on drawing and etching, and then decided to try other media. also, during the period through 1922, he studied evenings at the ferrer school (not now in existence) with george bellows and robert henri, whose protégé and friend he became; they were the only teachers he had besides miss hamilton, mentioned earlier. when asked later who his teachers were, he would answer, \"henri, bellows, rembrandt, cezanne,\" etc. both henri and bellows were impressed by his talent and had many of his drawings and etchings. by that time, in 1923, he, with a number of friends (not artists) had a studio at 92 fourth avenue, in new york (now a post office), where he worked and lived for a number of years. henri and bellows were frequent visitors there during their lifetime. an early edition of the survey graphic published a feature article about him, including illustrations of his drawings and etchings, calling him \"the rembrandt of the east side.\" this was during his henry street settlement period. before he started painting, his etchings and drawings were included in many museum exhibitions throughout the country, and julius rosenwald, a patron of the henry street settlement, purchased a number of them and presented the etching \"the sweet potato vendor\" to the metropolitan museum. in 1927, tromka met herbert tschudy, then curator of paintings at the brooklyn museum, who became his close friend. by 1932, mr. tschudy, who kept close touch with tromka's development as a painter, felt that he had enough interesting work to warrant a first one-man show at the brooklyn museum, and during the entire summer of 1932, tromka's paintings were on exhibition there. in 1930, tromka asked mr. tschudy what he thought of the idea of his assuming his original name, and mr. tschudy was most enthusiastic. so for two years prior to his first one-man show at the museum, tromka used the name phillips-tromka and then finally dropped the \"phillips\" and used the name tromka only. his exhibition at the museum was a success. until his death in 1954, he was included in many group shows in all media at the brooklyn museum (etchings, drawings, oils, gouache, serigraphs) and was a prize winner there in 1946 and 1952. two of his paintings, a gouache and an oil, were presented to the brooklyn museum in the 1940's, but unfortunately have not been shown for years, and i do not know what has happened to them. tromka was on the wpa art project for its entire duration. he did not have to go on relief, but was invited to join to add prestige to the work being done. a number of well-known artists were on the project in this capacity. being on the art project was, according to tromka, the happiest creative period of his life. 12 1/4\"h x 9 1/4\"w"},"estimateMax":400,"lotNumber":"51","title":{"en":"abram tromka, polish american (1896 -

[3] browne believed, with his friend gorky, that \"every artist has to have tradition. without tradition art is no good. having a tradition enables you to tackle new problems with authority, with solid footing.\" increasingly in the 1940s, browne adopted an energetic, gestural style. painterly brush strokes and roughly textured surfaces amplify the primordial undercurrents posed by his symbolic and mythical themes. in 1945 browne showed with adolph gottlieb, william baziotes, david hare, hans hofmann, carl holty, romare bearden, and robert motherwell at the newly opened samuel kootz gallery. when kootz suspended business for a year in 1948, browne began showing at grand central galleries. in 1950, he joined the faculty of the art students league, and in 1959 he began teaching advanced painting at new york university. source: virginia m. mecklenburg. \"the patricia and phillip frost collection: american abstraction, 1930-1945\" (washington, dc: national museum of american

brucker indiana/ohio (1912-1999) moored boats mixed media on paper signed lower right. biography from the archives of askart: edmund brucker was active as a portrait painter in indianapolis from 1938 until his death, and he recorded the likenesses of many prominent people around the state, including dr. and mrs. norris shreve, mrs. otis r. bowen, and colonel a. weir cook. in 1967, the artist retired from his post of almost thirty years as a professor at the herron school of art. brucker represented a dwindling group of indiana artists whose rigorous artistic training prepared them for the exactitude of portrait painter. he was born in cleveland, ohio, in 1912. he studied art at the cleveland school of art and graduated in 1934. his teachers included henry keller, rolf stoll, and paul travis. in 1938, brucker joined the faculty of the john herron art institute in indianapolis, indiana, where he taught until his retirement in the early 1980s. though he was best known as a portrait painter, brucker was also a painter of the great lakes regional scene. adept in both oil and watercolor, he produced a number of paintings depicting industrial and urban subjects. many of his works are actually composite scenes formulated from sketches and detailed drawings made at different sites at different times. brucker's mature realist style emphasizes design, composition and line. his palette is rich in its use of gray tones. brucker exhibited widely through the great lakes region. his work was shown at the cleveland museum of art, the butler institute of american art, milwaukee art institute, carnegie institute, and regularly at the hoosier salon annuals and the indiana state fair. brucker was awarded top honors in hoosier salon exhibitions on three different occasions. the melancholy 1944 painting of a working class boy with a sled, which the artist entitled \"bag ears\", won a first prize award in the portrait division of the indiana state fair art exhibition the year it was submitted. as a portraitist, edmund brucker seemed a natural choice as artist for the official portrait of matthew e. welsh, governor of indiana from 1961 to 1965. brucker had already painted a picture of the new governor in 1960 for the cover of \"indiana business and industry magazine\". the popularity of this portrait resulted in an official commission for brucker in 1964, the last year of welsh's term. the sittings were given by welsh in the artist's studio at the herron school of art. brucker was impressed by welsh's co-operative manner in posing, and the governor was delighted by the result. edmund brucker died in indianapolis in 1999. his work is represented in the collections of indiana university, depauw university, purdue university, and dartmouth college. sources include:

teaching approach, particularly the \"push and pull\" effects of form and color by st. paul teachers alexander masley and cameron booth, both of whom had studied with hofmann in munich. after further study at the chicago art institute, johnson moved to new york city in 1947 and became one of the first downtown loft-dwellers. he shared a lower east side studio with larry rivers and attended some of hofmann's new york classes. rents were cheap but johnson was broke much of the time as he tried to support his painting through a variety of part-time jobs, including teaching art. in 1950, he and realist figurative painter philip pearlstein shared a studio space. lester's wife, jo, had introduced the two artists at a time when she and pearlstein were studying art history at new york university. johnson's various studios, on the bowery and elsewhere, were always one flight up with a view of manhattan's active street life. no wonder, for over fifty years, street scenes have been a dominant part of his art. johnson adopted the working techniques of action painting, which meant he used a great deal of paint. a tube of oil paint might be expended in seconds as he, like pollock, physically projected himself into the work. the images that johnson produced were not decorative, but stubbornly confrontational: oversize, brooding, thickly encrusted, scarred surfaces that were alive with recognizable objects and figures. even today, few realize how radical it was for johnson to depict a recognizable subject in an adamantly pro-abstract-expressionist climate. sculptor george segal recalled: \"the abstract expressionists were legislating any reference to the physical world totally out of art. this was outrageous to us\". rebellion came naturally to lester johnson, and he remained tenaciously outside the mainstream. nonetheless, he produced a body of work that influenced several generations of younger painters and confounded an art establishment in need of neat categorization. he remains one of the few painters whose work holds significance for both abstract and figurative artists. lester johnson's animated men and women, with all their nervous energy, yield themselves only gradually to analysis and will no doubt be reinterpreted for many years to come. his largest achievement is perhaps the degree to which each of his works is still able to convince us

city, kansas on april 27, 1923, but grew up in bloomington, indiana. after high school he enrolled in indiana university, but was drafted into the u.s. army air force in 1943. he served in the south pacific as a radio intercept operator until 1946. after ww ii, he returned to indiana university on the g.i. bill where he earned an m.f.a degree studying with henry holmes smith. jack and jerry uelsmann were the first m.f.a. graduates while van deren coke was also a graduate student. during these years, he became acquainted with harry callahan, aaron siskind, and minor white all of whom were established photographers and pioneers in american photographic education. jack was hired in 1959 by john gutmann, to teach photography within the art department at san francisco state college, now san francisco state university. he taught there for the next thirty-three years. when he arrived in san francisco the beat generation was winding down in north beach, however, he took advantage of the local poetry, jazz, art and culture. he also played jazz piano, which became a lifelong avocation. years later he said, \u0093when i\u0092m working behind a camera, i feel like i\u0092m trying to achieve something like a jazz musician does.\u0094 he also soon became associated with the local photographic community which included ansel adams, ruth bernard, oliver gagliani and dorothea lange. at that time there were almost no photography courses or graduate programs offered at the university level anywhere in the united states. jack pioneered in creating both photography courses and a graduate program. he also taught one of the first history of photography courses at the college/university level. while providing a solid basis in photographic technique, jack always encouraged an appreciation of the master photographers. also, he integrated the ideas of carl g. jung, the swiss psychoanalyst, into the reading of photographs, especially dreams, symbolism and the unconscious mind. jack\u0092s educational goal was to determine the needs of the student, provide constructive criticism and help them develop their own vision. a number of his students have become major contributors to photography: judy dater, leland rice, john spence weir, michael bishop, harvey himelfarb, and catherine wagner among numerous others. in 1968, with jack\u0092s support, a number of his students formed the visual dialogue foundation to promote their photographs by producing a portfolio, creating exhibitions, and, in general, publicizing their photographs as fine art. the museum and fine arts galleries in american had not yet accepted photography as a fine art. although mindful of group f64, a number of the members continued to work in the tradition of group f64, while others began to experiment with photography. vdf became the vortex of san francisco\u0092s photographic community and established a bridge with robert heinecken, another pioneer at the university of california at los angeles, who was pushing the parameters of traditional american photography. in a time of increasing specialization in photography, jack was unique in that his work was both diverse and unexpected. formal problems were always of major concern to him. his nudes were erotic and sensual interpretations of the female figure and his best known work. they can also easily mislead the viewer, because he was also interested in integrating subject and technique. sensitivity to light and composition, especially spatial relations, were always major concerns. his interest in 19th century french painting, especially henri matisse, affected his vision. he was also an outstanding portrait photographer and his fragmented landscapes are visual poems which parallel some of the best in landscape photography. jack also liked to create new challenges for himself. during 1980 and 1981, he began exploring san francisco\u0092s cityscape when he photographed the financial district resulting in some unique, and, at times, critical views of the world of business. known for his black and white photographs, during the 1980\u0092s he photographed in fragments and in color, but always with restraint. and in the 1990\u0092s, jack combined a photogram of a projected seed pod with pen and ink drawing and hand coloring. in graduate school he studied painting and photography and also taught drawing. with an interest in abstract expressionism, he wanted to create a photograph in that genre. regarding the creation of a photograph, jack revealed a mystical side when he stated, \u0093there is the physical sensation of light penetrating everything. the world becomes luminous. sometimes, one can see a wider, more brilliant, more significant, more detailed world than is apparent to others.\u0094 jack was a member of the friends of photography, carmel, california and served on the board of trustees from 1973-1976. he was also a member of the society for photographic education. in 1973 he was a recipient of the medal of arles, france, and in 1979 received a national endowment for the arts grant. his photographs are in the permanent collections of the getty museum, museum of modern art, new york; whitney museum, new york; international museum of photography at the george eastman house, rochester, new york; center for creative photography, university of arizona, tucson; university of new mexico, albuquerque; the san francisco museum of modern art; bibliotheque nationale, paris and the australian national gallery among others. 10\"h x 14 1/2\"w(sight), 16

haunting, silent landscapes; the melancholy of nostalgia. trees, in mid and far-distance, form clusters or act as misty individuals containing a haunted, indefinable presence, witnesses to the foreground drama of more specific shape, form and detail, often a close-up tree. kipniss studied at the art students league* in 1947; wittenberg university in springfield, ohio, 1948-50; and the university of iowa, receiving a ba degree in english literature in 1952, and an mfa in painting and art history in 1954. the artist employs a meticulous technique combining a multiplicity of specific strokes, whether with brush, pencil or print-maker's needle and burin*, to create the essence of his generalized, non-specific forms. light and darkness are clearly kipniss' compositionally constructive elements. they also exist as contestants in the emotional drama at the heart of each work of art. the contrast, and sometimes combat, between these two opposites, symbolically represent with blackness -- ideas of threat, fear, trouble, evil; with whiteness safety, redemption, fulfillment and good. in kipniss' 1995 mezzotint*, clear vase and landscape, with a foreground image of precisely leafy stalks, the vase holding them, nearly invisible in its transparency, suggests an almost salvador dali-like surrealist device. this central image dominates but seems to invite association with, and commentary from, the surrounding clumps and individual round-topped, yet cedar-like trees. his mezzzotint, for stella,\" 1997, depicts a gently twisting, curving, pale and smoothly-barked foreground, leafless tree limb or trunk, like a female human body, suggesting weakness, fatigue, an inability to deal with the staccato background screen of textured bush that seems to uncomfortably impinge upon it. this print is arguably a metaphor for a delicate soul struggling to overcome the prickly difficulties of domineering life. the classic mezzotint process, invented in the middle of the 17th century, is the reverse of most of the other print-making media, since the artist works from a black ground to increasingly lighter areas. the copper plate is first roughened by a \"rocker,\" creating a burr over the entire surface (the more burr left intact, the more ink it holds, the darker the final finished print). the artist, robert kipniss, in this instance, gradually burnishes, smoothes down the burr in varying degrees to produce the gradations of lights and darks of the final design. the deepest darks in the final picture are those areas on the plate that have been little touched after the initial roughening. mezzotint relies on shade and tone rather than outline for its effect, which fits the kipniss style of atmospheric* masses of value. a recent oil painting by robert kipniss, hillside silhouettes, 2001, 40 x 29, is somewhat more complex in composition than many, with four cubically-constructed houses each set in their own zones, seemingly

folon (belgian, 1934 - 2005) un matin, poster, 1979 poster is pencil signed and dated lower. biography from american design ltd: jean-michel folon was a belgian artist, illustrator, painter and sculptor. born in uccle, near brussels, the son of a paper wholesaler, folon initially studied architecture, but by 1955 he had abandoned a country he regarded as a \"mental prison\" and headed for paris. he ended up living in a gardener's pavilion in bougival, on the outskirts of the capital, where he spent five years as a draughtsman. by the early 1960s, when he visited the united states, he was selling graphic work to esquire, horizon, atlantic monthly and time; by 1964, his drawings were on display at the librairie le palimugre in paris. in 1985 he moved to monaco where he worked in a big workshop surrounded by numerous artist. the first exhibition of his watercolors was in new york in 1969 in the lefebre gallery. one year later he exhibited in tokyo and in the il milione gallery in milan. he also participated in the xxvth biennale of venice. in 1973 he joined the selection of belgian artists in the xxvth biennale of sao paulo where he was granted the grand price of painting. during the years his work concentrated on different techniques: watercolor, etching, silkscreen, illustrations, mosaics, stained glass, ... which showed the diversity of his art. he also designed numerous posters, often for humanitarian causes. around 1988 he created his first sculptures made out of wood. from then on moved on creating scultures in clay, plaster, bronze and marble, while continuing painting. it was as a graphic artist that folon was able to express himself most successfully. he proclaimed his humanitarian sympathies with eloquent posters for such organizations as unicef, greenpeace and amnesty international. in 1991 he designed four stamps for the royal mail to honour the work of european astronomers at the roque de los muchachos observatory in the canary islands. his designs often included a conventionally dressed 'everyman' figure, with a stereotypical brimmed hat and arrows instead of eyes, marooned in an empty landscape or penned in by slablike skyscrapers. as folon put it, \"we live surrounded by boxes.\" in 1967 he even represented the statue of liberty with prison bars around her mouth. folon's anxieties about the dehumanisation of modern life did not prevent him from celebrating technology when occasion, or a contract, demanded. in the late 1960s he created several advertisements for olivetti typewriters, in which anonymous men struggled over keyboards or piles of numerals. the clarity and directness of his images meant he was also receiving commissions for monumental murals: his first was in 1968, when he decorated the french pavilion at the milan triennale with a 36 metre polyester strip, adorned with an abstract pattern of more than 500 luminous points. this was followed a few years later by huge figurative works - representations of landscapes and cities - including those made for various railway stations, like the metro in brussels in 1974, and waterloo in 1975. at the end of the 1960s, he had his first solo exhibitions in new york, milan and tokyo, and soon after, alongside magazines on both sides of the atlantic, he began working for the new york times. apart from 'everyman', the most common character in folon's work is a hybrid creature, with a human body, multicoloured wings and perhaps a monstrous beak. absurdly liberating, the figure reappears in numerous contexts. in 1972, he even turned it into a knitted nylon kite: after all, \"when one flies, one is free. kites can hold conversations with the wind.\" this fanciful, lighthearted tone made folon an ideal illustrator for the tales of jean de la fontaine and lewis carroll, although he was able to indulge his darker side in an edition of kafka's metamorphosis in 1973, and he also worked on books by ray bradbury and jacques prévert. his instinctive sense of drama led him into design for opera, experimental theatre, cinema and television, and, in 1967, he made a short feature, le cri, with the director alain resnais. in the mid-1970s, his usual cast of characters appeared in animations for the french antenne 2 channel. in 1992, folon produced a series of watercolours accompanying the african-american novelist ralph waldo ellison's invisible man, in which the washes of paint suggested an appropriately immaterial quality. in 1990, the metropolitan museum in new york had held an exhibition of his engravings and watercolours, and, five years later, there was a retrospective in japan. although based mostly in france, and latterly monaco, folon was a great italophile. it was fitting that his final exhibition, which closed in september, included a spectacular display of his sculptures in the forte del belvedere, high above florence. folon had plenty of contact with the rich and powerful. jacques chirac counted him as a friend, and his funeral in monaco was attended by prince albert ii. he left a museum in the farm of the chateau de la hulpe outside brussels, whose profits are dedicated to helping the disabled. he is survived by his wife paola and by a son, françois, from his first marriage, to the artist colette portal. jean-michel folon died in monaco on 20th october 2005 at the age of 71. 17

felix sorge (canadian american, 1931-2021), blue shirt, watercolor on paper, 1995 signed and dated lower right. the piece features a vibrant depiction of an interior scene with a blue shirt hanging beside a window. biography from caza sikes: canadian-born artist walter sorge was a modernist whose work exhibits many facets, periods, and styles. however, he was foremost a formalist creating both gestural abstractions and geometric color field compositions. he worked in a variety of mediums, but was also a very accomplished print maker in the mid to late 20th century. sorge received both his b.a. and m.a. at ucla, and went on to receive his ed.d. degrees in fine arts and art education from columbia university. he worked in the famed atelier 17 in paris as an apprentice to the celebrated surrealist painter and print maker stanley william hayter, who had a strong influence on his printmaking. after working in paris, he returned to the united states to create and teach art. in 1985 sorge took a year of sabbatical in taiwan, hong kong, and mainland china, where he produced over 100 watercolors influenced by the chinese tradition, many of which bear a red seal of his name in chinese characters. in 1994, he took another sabbatical in israel, during which he produced a series of works featuring israeli locals, landscapes, and cityscapes. in short, his work has been significantly influenced by his life-long travels. as an instructor, he served as head of the art departments at kentucky southern college in louisville and at hardin-simmons university in abilene, texas, and chairman of the art department at eastern illinois university. throughout his career, sorge had many solo exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions both nationally and internationally in new york, ottawa, france, new mexico, kentucky, california, england, israel, and turkey among other places. some institutions that have exhibited and collected his work include the metropolitan center in new york, the victoria and albert museum, the vancouver art gallery, national fine arts in bermuda, and the j.b. speed art museum in louisville. 21 1/2\"h x 18 1/2\"w (sight),

woman holding a child, rendered in a soft impressionist style. after spending many years painting in the style of traditional realism , susan had the opportunity to work with paul ching-bor to explore a new form of expression in deconstructionist watercolor. working in new york city with a group of large scale watercolorists, susan soon found herself fascinated by the experimental quality of this new media. a great departure from the world of realism this media allowed for great freedom of expression creating from an intuitive place, deep within, instead of inspiration from the outside world. the focus of her work has shifted to large scale watercolor painting with an emphasis on abstraction of landscape and cityscape. susan has studied in art schools in new york city including: classical drawing at the new york academy of art, figure and portrait painting at the art students league and the national academy of design. she credits john philip osborne for developing her painter\u0092s eyes at the ridgewood art institute. fogel's work has been exhibited in boston, cape cod, santa fe, vicopisano (italy), and istanbul, (turkey), as well as several locations throughout new york/ new jersey region. her art school, the warwick atelier, was started in 2008 as a forum for creative development. in addition to ongoing classes and workshops in warwick, students of the atelier have attended workshops, led by susan, in tuscany, ireland, cape cod and the hudson valley. she also teaches drawing and pastel classes at the ridgewood art institute. 24 1/2\"h x 19 1/2\"w (sight), 32

trimpol, opaque ribbon flat vase, studio art glass vessel, 2018 incised signature and date under base. from the artist's website: born in philadelphia, pa, michael trimpol was first introduced to glass working during a high school stained glass course in stowe, vermont. he pursued a career in stained glass while attending concordia university in montreal designing and creating many residential commissions as well as several public installations. frustrated with the limitations of the two dimensional process, he enrolled at sheridan college school of craft & design in mississauga, ontario to learn the art of glassblowing. upon graduation in 1985, he was accepted for a residency at harbourfront craft studios, one of toronto\u0092s most popular tourist destinations. shortly after he left harbourfront in 1989, he established his own company hotglass inc. in mississauga, ontario for which he designed and created a full line of blown glass products. in 1995, michael relocated to stowe, vermont and founded little river hotglass studio. he currently designs and manufactures a diverse body of product in addition to overseeing the operations of the studio. artist\u0092s statement of the many media and processes which can be used to create, i have always been attracted to glass and its potential. initially working with stained glass, i became drawn to the dynamic nature of the blowing process which seemed to better suit both my nature and my vision. i have a strong preference for objects of a personal scale and with potential utility. a vessel with a lid or stopper has always been of most interest. color and pattern are also important, either a single pure color highlighting form or a more complex mixture to create patterns. i am proud of the final product but the actual process of creation is what i find most satisfying. 10 1/2\"h x 10 1/4\"w"},"estimateMax":200,"lotNumber":"126","title":{"en":"michael trimpol, opaque ribbon flat vase, studio art glass vessel,

in california before moving to the midwest. his diverse artistic background has encouraged him to be bold in experimenting with new materials and imagery. at various times he has incorporated collage, printing, found materials and a variety of different types of paint media in his work. a gifted colorist, over the past decade koury has increasingly been drawn to pastel as the purest expression for his painting. in all of his original artwork it is the uninhibited sensuality of color that is the true subject, whether found in the beauty of the natural world or the poetry of the imagination. more recently, the artist has further stretched the expressive possibilities of pastel by combining it with enamel and latex paints, gold, bronze and silver leafing, oil pastel and pencil to create works of spectacular richness and texture. 42 1/2\u0094h x 26 3/4\u0094w (sight), 54 1/2\u0094h x 38 3/4\u0094w (frame)"},"estimateMax":120,"lotNumber":"149","title":{"en":"aleah koury, american (b. 1959),
