Wolf Kahn
Emily & The Baby II (Grace Borgenicht Gallery)

1960

About the Item

Wolf Kahn Emily & The Baby II (Grace Borgenicht Gallery), 1960 Pastel on Paper. Hand signed by the artist on the front. Grace Borgenicht gallery label on the back Vintage frame included This is a poignant early pastel drawing done by the artist of his wife, the artist Emily Mason and daughter. Given the age of the child in the drawing and the year it was created we believe the work depicts his youngest daughter, Cecily Kahn, who is a successful artist in her own right. Wolf Kahn is one of America's most celebrated landscape/color field painters. Hand signed on recto (front). This work bears the Grace Borgenicht Gallery label - important provenance as Borgenicht was Wolf Kahn's gallery of record for many years. Works from this era, with the Borgenicht provenance, are extremely desirable. Framed in original vintage frame. Measurements: Framed: 10 x 15 x 1 inches Artwork: 5.75 x 10.25 inches Not examined outside of original vintage frame with Borgenicht label but apparently in good vintage condition. Provenance: Grace Borgenicht Gallery Inc., New York label on the back

  • Ellsworth Kelly at Gemini/Joan Collins Visits Gemini! (Hand signed by BOTH)
    By Ellsworth Kelly
    Located in New York, NY
    Ellsworth Kelly at Gemini/Joan Collins Visits Gemini! (Hand signed by Ellsworth Kelly and Joan Collins), 1985 Printed paper collage on card (Hand signed by the artist and his subject) Unique work Hand-signed by artist, signed inscribed and dated 'JOAN COLLINS VISITS GEMINI! EK 85.59'; signed and inscribed by Joan Collins 'Love Joan Collins' (on the reverse) Framed with wood frame and UV filtering acrylic glazing, with a die-cut acrylic window in the back revealing the artist and his subject's signatures Gemini Gel is the famous printer and publisher that produced works by some of the most important artists of the 20th century, including Ellsworth Kelly; Joan Collins is the legendary actress who became an international superstar from her role in the soap opera Dynasty -- which happened to be produced by Kelly's collector, Douglas S. Cramer, who owned this work. Hand signed inscribed and dated 'JOAN COLLINS VISITS GEMINI! EK 85.59'; signed and inscribed by Joan Collins 'Love Joan Collins' (on the reverse) Acquired from the collection of Douglas S. Cramer, the renowned Hollywood producer who acquired it directly from Ellsworth Kelly; Joan Collins signed the work for Ellsworth Kelly. From May 6–June 25, 2022, the Matthew Marks gallery put on an exhibition of Kelly’s postcards which were also the subject of a 2021 exhibition at the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs. Perhaps more than any other work by the artist, Kelly’s postcards illustrate his use of found compositions — from nature, architecture, art history, and popular media — to create his singular, abstract forms. Kelly’s appetite for visual inspiration is manifested in these modest works. “What I’ve tried to capture is the reality of flux,” he stated, “to keep art an open, incomplete situation, to get at the rapture of seeing.” Measurements: Framed 11.75 inches vertical by 13.25 inches horizontal by .75 inches Card Collage...
