About the Item

Joan Miro (Spain, 1893-1983) 'La révolte des caractéres (The revolt of the letters)', 1982 etching, aquatint on paper Velin Arches 250 g. 12.8 x 9.9 in. (32.5 x 24.9 cm.). The open paper measures 32.5 x 49.8 cm. Edition of 100 Spot, unframed ID: MIR1225-055 Hand-signed by author ____________________________________________________________ Joan Miró was born in Barcelona in 1893, but his emotional landscapes, which will shape him as a person and artist, are essentially Mont-roig, Paris, Mallorca and later New York and Japan. Mont-roig, a small town in the Baix Camp region, will be the counterpoint to the intellectual agitation that he experienced in Paris in the 1920s alongside the surrealist poets, and to the stimulus of abstract expressionism that he discovered in New York in the 1940s . . Later, in the middle of the Second World War, Joan Miró will abandon his exile in France and settle in Palma de Mallorca, a place of refuge and work, where his friend Josep Lluís Sert will design the workshop that he had always dreamed of. of. His roots in the landscape of Mont-roig first and that of Mallorca later will be decisive in his work. The link with the land and the interest in everyday objects and the natural environment will be the background of some of his technical and formal investigations. Miró flees from academicism, towards the constant search for a global and pure work, not attached to any specific movement. Contained in the forms and public manifestations, it is through the plastic act where Joan Miró shows his rebellion and great sensitivity to the political and social events that surround him. This contrast of forces will lead him to create a unique and highly personal language that places him as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. (Source: Fundació Joan Miró)

    Eduardo Chillida (Spain, 1924-2002) 'Munich', 1994 etching, aquatint on paper gray Eskulan 31.5 x 23.9 in. (80 x 60.5 cm.) Edition of 119 (of which 98 correspond to the Arabic numbered edition). P/A: XX (20) Unframed ID: CHI1038-009 Hand-signed by author It appears reviewed in the catalog raisonné “Eduardo Chillida – Opus P.III. 1986-1996”, Chorus – Verlag. Page 278, cat. 94015. ____________________________________________________ He began his career in 1943 studying architecture at the University of Madrid, but in 1947 he dedicated himself to drawing and sculpture, and in 1948 he moved to Paris, then the world capital of the arts. Although he abandoned his studies, his work betrays his architectural training, showing an underlying sense of structural organization, as well as discipline in materials, planning of spatial relationships, and scale of elements. Over the years, the artist turned to materials that showed his investigations into conceptual questions and metaphysical concerns. Chillida's first stone and plaster creations oscillated between the human world and the natural world using figures and images of landscapes. Consistently guided by the quality of space, density and rhythm, his works consider ways in which mass and volume contain space. His public works, which exist on a more massive scale, not only inhabit the space but also determine a qualifying space of their own. His monumental sculptures, designed for both urban and more secluded spaces, are permanently installed internationally and constitute an important facet of his artistic production. The main retrospectives of Chillida's graphic and sculptural work have been mounted by the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston (1966); Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh (1979); National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC (1979); Guggenheim Museum (1980); Miramar Palace, San Sebastián (1992); and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid (1999). Chillida received numerous awards, including the Grand International Prize for Sculpture at the Venice Biennale (1958), the Kandinsky Prize (1960), the Carnegie Prize for Sculpture (1964), the Andrew Mellon...

  • Process Landscape
    By Tom Marioni
    Located in San Francisco, CA
    Artist: Tom Marioni – American (1937- ) Title: Process Landscape 1998 Year: 1998 Medium: Color spit bite aquatint Image size: 15.75 x 10 inches. Paper size: 20 x 16 inches Framed size: 21.75 x 17.75 inches Signature: Signed, dated lower right Edition: 50. This one: 24/50. Published by: Crown Point Press Printed by: Paul Mullowney Condition: Excellent Frame: Framed in maple frame and plexiglas. Frame in fair to good condition with some small scratches. Tom Marioni was born in 1937 in Cincinnati, Ohio, attended the Cincinnati Art Academy, and in 1959 moved to San Francisco, where he still lives. His first sound work, One Second Sculpture, 1969, was celebrated in the 2005 Lyon Biennial as presaging the work of many artists today who use sound and duration as subjects. His first museum show was in 1970 at the Oakland Museum of California. Titled “The Act of Drinking Beer with Friends is the Highest Form of Art,” it was an early example of social art as a sculpture action. Over the years, Marioni was invited to repeat the work in various contexts around the world. In 1970 Marioni founded the Museum of Conceptual Art (MOCA), which he described at the time as “a large-scale social work of art.” Until the museum closed in 1984, he organized many groundbreaking shows, including “Sound Sculpture As” in 1970. MOCA has entered history as one of the first alternative art spaces. Marioni had one-person shows in several significant venues for early conceptual art, among them the Richard Demarco Gallery in Edinburgh in 1972 and Gallery Foksal in Warsaw in 1975. In 1977 he had a solo show, “The Sound of Flight,” at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. He has done installation/performance works at the Whitechapel Gallery in London (1972), the Institute of Contemporary Art in London (1973), the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris (1980), and the Folkwang Museum in Essen, Germany (1982), among other museums. He has produced sound works for radio stations KPFA in Berkeley and WDR in Cologne, Germany. In 1996 he organized The Art Orchestra and the group performed at the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco. Marioni was included in “For Eyes and Ears” (1980) at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin, “Live to Air” (1982) at the Tate Gallery in London, and “From Sound to Image” (1985) at the Stuttgart Staatsgalerie in Germany. His work was shown in “Out of Actions: Between Performance and the Object” (1998) at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and “The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia,” (2009) at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Drawing is central to Marioni’s art, and in 1999 he had a drawing retrospective, with a catalog, at the Mills College Art Museum in Oakland. In 2006 the Contemporary Art Center in Cincinnati presented a survey of his work and published a catalog. Marioni is the author of Beer, Art and Philosophy, 2003, a memoir, also Writings on Art 1969-1999, and Fabliaux Tom Marioni Fairy Tales. He was editor/designer of VISION magazine published by Crown Point Press, 1975-1981. Issues were titled “California,” “Eastern Europe,” “New York City,” “Word Of Mouth,” (phonograph records) and “Artist’s Photographs,” and published prints, since 1974. Tom Marioni received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1981 and three grants from the National Endowment for the Arts during the 1970s. His work is in the collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Stadtische Kunsthalle in Mannheim, Germany, the Pompidou Center in Paris, and other museums. He is represented by the Anglim Gilbert Gallery...
