FRANK STELLA PRINT, SWAN ENGRAVING IXBlackFRANK STELLA PRINT, SWAN ENGRAVING IXBlack and white abstract print. Unsigned.
The series of twenty-five prints published over 3 years was Stellas most ambitious project to date, related to his earlier Circuits series. The name of the series comes from the Swan Engraving Company in Connecticut where Stella had shapes cut for his Circuit works. The scraps of these shapes, as well as templates for doily patterns which Swan Engravings Company produced were incorporated into the series, creating intricate graphic patterns. The prints were made by collaging the scraps and templates together on a plywood backing, then inking them and printing, producing intaglio and relief prints. Such a method of assembling the plate from various components was used here for the first time by Stella, exemplifying the constant innovation in his work from series to series. Print is framed and encased in plexiglass.

SAM GILLIAM "CHARTMAKING" ACRYLIC ONSAM GILLIAM "CHARTMAKING" ACRYLIC ON BIRCH 1997Sam Gilliam (American, 1933-2022). Acrylic on birch plywood titled "The Chartmaking" depicting a colorful abstract composition, 1997. Two pieces are hinged and can swing outwards from the main body of the work. Signed, dated, and titled along the verso.
Lot Essay:
Sam Gilliam was one of America's foremost Black artists and a leader in the color field and lyrical abstraction movements. He was influenced by German Expressionists such as Emil Nolde, Paul Klee, and Nathan Oliveira. He was additionally influenced by Vladimir Tatlin, Frank Stella, Hans Hofmann, Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, and aul Cezanne. An artist from an early age, he was always interested in art and eventually studied fine arts at the University of Louisville, admitted as the second class of black undergraduate students to the school.
Around 1965, he became the first artist to introduce the idea of an unsupported canvas, draping the paintings from ceilings, walls, and floors. These works were immensely popular and led to exhibitions and commissions worldwide including representing the United States at the 36th Venice Biennale. He moved away from this in later years to focus on jazz-inspired works like his Black Paintings, so-named because they are painted in shades of black. His works shifted once more in the 1980s to resemble the African patchwork quilts of his childhood. Though he was largely overlooked throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, his career saw a resurgence following a retrospective at the Corcoran Gallery in 2005.
From then until his death in 2022, his works came into the collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art among others. He also had successful exhibitions including a second show at the Venice Biennale (2017), a large-scale draped painting titled "Yves Klein Blue" in Giardini's central pavilion for the show "Viva Arte Viva," and his first European retrospective in 2018 hosted by the Kunstmuseum Basel.
His honors and awards were plentiful including eight honorary doctorates, several National Endowment for the Arts grants, the Longview Foundation Award, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. In 2015 he was awarded the Medal of Art by the U.S. State Department for his longtime contributions to art in embassies and other diplomatic facilities as well as his cultural diplomacy, which showcased his works in over 20 countries during his career.
From 1962 until the 1980s, Gilliam was married to Dorothy Butler, the first African-American female columnist at The Washington Post. They had three daughters together. In 2018, after a 35-year partnership, he married Annie Gawlak, owner of the former G Fine Art gallery in Washington, D.C. On June 25, 2022, Gilliam died of renal failure in his home at the age of 88 after a long, varied, and ultimately successful career creating the art that he loved.

Green Vertical, 1964, foam resin and epoxy resin on Masonite with acrylic and oil, 96-1/4 x 48 x 10 in. (243.8 x 121.9 x 25.4 cm.)
Note: John Yau, in his essay for the exhibition, references this work and others such as Green Horizontal, stating in summary, "...Strider not only underscores that growth and ripening are an inherent part of the life cycle, but openly celebrates sexuality and desire. Strider may well have intended to undermine minimalist insistence on paint just being paint. That Strider did these works at a time when literalism was preferred over associations of any sort amounted to a direct challenge to the Minimalist credo, which Frank Stella pithily stated as 'what you see is what you see.' Not so in Strider's work. She might sum up her work of the 1960s this way: what you see is what you are thinking. And what everybody seems to be thinking about, is sex. Her work is an uncomfortable reminder of our baser instincts. This is why she needed to make it 'comically obscene.' Laughter is a form of release, a way to diminish the tension as well as acknowledge the conflict."

Provenance: David Beitzel Gallery, New York. Biography from the Archives of askART: Art reference literature often cites a birth date of 1918 for this artist, while in reality he was born in 1917, as his daughter confirmed. Born in New York City, Stephen Greene had a painting and teaching career in Pennsylvania and New York. His style was modernist, and his subjects often related to Christian themes and symbols that expressed human isolation during World War II. He was also an illustrator for Esquire magazine. He studied at the Art Students League and National Academy of Design in New York City and earned a B.F.A. from the State University of Iowa in 1942 and an M.A. in 1945. He also studied at William and Mary College and with painter Philip Guston. From 1959 to 1965, he taught at the Art Students League, and from 1959 to 1963, he taught at Pratt Institute. From 1968 to 1985, he at the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia. Exhibition venues included the Whitney Museum, National Academy of Design, Art Institute of Chicago, Cororan Gallery, and the Pennsylvania Academy. Source: Peter Hastings Falk (Editor), Who Was Who in American Art oil on linen Dimensions: 15" x 15" Provenance: Stephen Greene (September 19, 1917 – November 18, 1999) was an American artist known for his abstract paintings and in the 1940s his social realist figure paintings. Stephen Greene was born in New York City. He attended the National Academy School of Art and then the Art Students League, and earned a BFA and a MA at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. He studied with Philip Guston, and they remained friends until Guston's death in 1980.[1] Greene taught at Princeton University for many years where he was teacher to many well-known figures in the art world including Frank Stella and art critic and historian Michael Fried. Greene had more than two dozen solo exhibitions of his work in leading art galleries in New York City. He also taught at the Art Students League of New York for several decades. After the mid-1950s and until his death Greene's mature work was related to abstract expressionism, color field painting and surrealism. His work is represented in numerous public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Carnegie Museum of Art, and the Tate Gallery in London. He died aged 82 in November 1999 at his home in Valley Cottage, New York, where he had lived for more than 40 years with his wife the novelist Sigrid de Lima (1921–1999), who died two months earlier. Their daughter, Alison de Lima Greene, is a curator at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts and has published a number of works on modern art.

From Herron.IUPUI.Edu: Tyler entered the print world in 1962, when he returned to school at 31-years-old and enrolled in the printmaking program at Herron School of Art in Indianapolis. After Herron, Tyler moved on to work at Tamarind Lithography Workshop though the Ford Foundation Fellowship. Then in 1966, Tyler established Gemini G.E.L. (Graphic Editions, Ltd.) with partners Stanley Grinstein and Sidney B. Felsen. As a part of his work at Gemini G.E.L., Tyler pursued a working relationship with the artist Josef Albers, who would become a close friend of Tyler's. Their relationship opened Gemini G.E.L. up to business with other big-name artists. At that time, Tyler also started to push the boundaries of printmaking by expanding print sizes further than they had ever gone before and created new techniques in printmaking. He was interested in adjusting printmaking to work for the artist, rather than adjusting the artist to work for printmaking. "Here is a workshop, there are no rules, no restrictions, do what you want to do."[1] From Gemini G.E.L., Tyler then moved to the east coast and started his own printmaking company, Tyler Graphics, Ltd. Although on a smaller scale than Gemini G.E.L., Tyler Graphics, Ltd. attracted similarly well-known artists and Tyler continued to push the techniques of printmaking. You cannot talk about Kenneth Tyler without talking about the vast array of artists that have leaned upon Tyler's knowledge, ingenuity, and talent. The list of artists which Tyler has collaborated with is lengthy and overwhelmingly impressive. With names like Josef Albers, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, Robert Motherwell, Helen Frankenthaller, and Frank Stella, it reads more like a list of the top artists of the second half of the 20th century. When we talk about Tyler's work, we are really talking about the work of the artists who have worked with Tyler. As a master printer, Tyler does not produce his own art. Rather, the works that came out of Gemini G.E.L., Ltd. and Tyler Graphics, Ltd. were pieces imagined and designed by the artists who claim them. They were simply produced and brought into reality by Tyler. This is something that makes the work of Kenneth Tyler so interesting. Tyler refers to himself not at as an artist, but as a technician, producer, and publisher, explaining, "My job was to make sure the process was done correctly and push the buttons with the artists permission."[2] He saw himself as the person who carries out the vision of the artist. One of reasons he did not pursue his own art was so that he would not imprint his own vision onto the works he was producing. "As a printmaker and publisher, I can only be as successful as the artists I work with and the art we create together."[3] David Hockney, once noted: "[A]ll Ken's interested in is working with artists. He was wise enough to know he couldn't be one. So, he became a great artisan and found interesting artists who enjoy his skills and wanted to use them ... He rolls up his sleeves and he collaborates with you. He's the chief collaborator, not just the publisher and not just the printer."[4] Perhaps that is the true art of Kenneth Tyler; his collaboration with artists.
