- RED GROOMS STUDY FOR CAROUSEL & REDSVILLE,
RED GROOMS STUDY FOR CAROUSEL & REDSVILLE, PLUS 2 OTHER...Red Grooms (American/Tennessee, 1937- ), paintings of the Red Grooms Fox Trot carousel and fantasy theme park "Redsville", plus two other Nashville/Grooms related works. The Carousel and Redsville works are concept illustrations, designed as overlays to be used in presentations to the city of Nashville circa 1994 and are mixed media (paint and colored marker on clear transparency film material; temporarily housed in clear sheath with white backing). The carousel study shows the exterior of the carousel (but not the character-horses themselves); Redsville includes whimsical images such as guitars scattered across a street made of piano keys,"Waylon Jennings' Giant Tour Bus", a "Haunted Hayloft" and an arch ascending to a jet plane; at far right is a schoolhouse with marquee sign "The Battle of Franklin" overhead. Both works inscribed "For Ann and Bob" and signed Red Grooms lower right; "Redsville" is also dated 1986. Carousel - 18 " x 12-1/2" image, 19-1/2" x 37" sheet. Redsville - 6" x 14" image, 19-3/4" x 18" sheet. Note: The life-sized and fully functional Red Grooms Fox Trot Carousel, which the artist described as a "sculpto-pictorama", was built and installed at the Nashville Riverfront in the late 1990s. However, it was removed several years later and is currently in storage at the Tennessee State Museum until a new location becomes available. "Redsville", an idealized theme park for Nashville's Riverfront, never materialized. Also included with this lot is a small lithographed card of a dog titled "Push and Gouge" attributed to Lysiane Luong (wife of Red Grooms) and signed by Red Grooms, numbered 19/41, 6-3/8"H x 5-3/8" sight, 11"H x 8-7/8" framed; and an original pen and marker on paper sketch of a chapel, possibly a design for St. Augustine's Chapel, Nashville, unsigned but likely by architect Bob Street, 5"H x 6-7/8" W sight, 11"h x 9" framed. Provenance: the collection of Ann and Bob Street, Nashville, Tenn.; Grooms works were gifts of the artist.
Condition:
Good condition; minor surface grime and smudging on both Redsville and Carousel and thumbdings to transparency paper. 2nd grouping - Minor smudge in lower right quadrant of original chapel drawing, minor surface grime on litho of dog; overall very good condition.

An expansive weeping willow encroaches on the left side of the house, creating shadows across the porch. Signed lower left "Carroll Cloar" and additionally signed, titled, and dated July 1967 en verso. Housed in the original painted wooden frame with gilt liner. Sight - 22 1/2" H x 33 1/2" W. Framed - 29" H x 39 1/2" W. Biography (Courtesy of The Johnson Collection): Arkansas-born Carroll Cloar was known for incorporating nostalgic images from his Southern childhood, often merged with dreamlike motifs, into powerful "magic realist" scenes. Cloar graduated from Southwestern College (now Rhodes College) in Memphis, Tennessee, and went on to study at the Memphis Academy of Arts under the artist George Oberteuffer. In 1936, he moved to New York to attend the Art Students League. There, Cloar's achievements earned him a McDowell fellowship which he used to travel across the American Southwest, West Coast and Mexico. Cloar served with the Army Air Corps during World War II and was deployed to Saipan and Iwo Jima. Upon his return from the war, he was awarded a Guggenheim traveling scholarship to fund an extended sojourn to Central and South America in 1946. Two years later, several of his images were featured in a Life Magazine article titled "Backwoods Boyhood," and Cloar's career went on to receive additional national acclaim. By the mid 1950s, Cloar had settled permanently in Memphis, where he produced paintings, often executed in casein tempera and acrylic paints. His works are in the collections of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Brooks Museum of Art, and Library of Congress. In 1993, Cloar's painting "Faculty and Honor Students, Lewis Schoolhouse" was one of six paintings by American artists selected to commemorate the inauguration of President Clinton.

- LARGE ANDREW MOORE PHOTOGRAPH, SIMON'S
LARGE ANDREW MOORE PHOTOGRAPH, SIMON'S SCHOOLHOUSE MUSE...Andrew Moore (American/ b. 1957) "Simon's Schoolhouse Museum, Remington County, South Dakota," 2014, Ed. 2/5, photographic archival pigment print. Titled and dated on label en verso from Jackson Fine Art, Atlanta, GA. Housed under glass in an ebonized wood frame. Sight: 35 1/2" H x 47 1/2" W. Framed: 37 1/4" H x 49" W. Note: This photograph was part of a decade long project for his book, "Dirt Meridian," in which photographer Andrew Moore traveled to homestead sites along the 100th meridian line of longitude running through Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, to witness how pioneers attracted by the Homestead Act fared generations later. The subject of this particular photograph was the invitation-only "Schoolhouse Museum" started in 1972 by Edgar Simon, a fifth generation South Dakota farmer, rancher, poet and historian who tries to "collect and display every possible variation of the objects that capture his fascination." Artist Biography: A native of Connecticut, Andrew Moore has taught at Princeton University and currently teaches at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. His large-format color photographs capture architectural elements and urban landscapes and his "perpetual fascination with certain kinds of decayed spaces that have been reappropriated or reused or where the evidence of people struggling to keep their dignity lingers, places that have been abandoned but retain the ghosts of what they were." Moore's work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the National Gallery of Art. He received the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship as well as grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, New York State Council on the Arts, and several private foundations.
