Artist Info/Bio: ARTIST BIOGRAPHY DOCUMENT IS INCLUDED Documentation: CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY IS INCLUDED About the Artist: Edward Gilliam, an American artist, was known for his abstract paintings that reflect an intimate understanding, and true kinship, of historical attitudes. Born in 1941 in Denver, Gilliam had little initial talent for the fine arts, but an insatiable drive to become an artist. He studied at the University of California, Berkeley, where he received an MFA in Fine Arts, as well as the prestigious James Phelan Fellowship in Art. Through his studies, as well as extensive travel in Europe, Asia, and Mexico, he found inspiration in the first-generation Abstract Expressionists, the Europeans from the Impressionists on, and in particular Hans Hoffman. After his schooling, Gilliam continued to live in Los Angeles for 20 years, flourishing as an abstract painter and muralist, before moving to Madrid, New Mexico where he opened his Studio/Gallery in 2001, and later San Patricio de Melaque Jalisco, Mexico, where he continued to paint until his death in 2020. His art has been collected by several museums, including the Eli Broad Collection in Los Angeles and Paris, the Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art, and the San Diego Museum of Art, among many others. He has created numerous murals throughout the western United States, including the “Tribute to Bonita Bingham,” “Weight Lifters,” and “Sea Breeze Circuit,” all on Venice Beach, as well as “Doreena’s Fortune Telling,” on Santa Monica Pier, among others. His works were most recently exhibited at the Gerald Peters Gallery, and Galeria La Manzanilla in Mexico.

  • [Glasses] Large Original Oil Painting by Robert White, Frameless Display
    Located in Encino, CA
    Untitled [Glasses], an original oil on canvas by Robert K. White, is a piece for the true collector. White’s careful attention to detail and vivid use of browns project from the painting, immediately capturing the viewer's attention and highlighting the artist's keen ability to capture emotion and life - all in a brushstroke. White's talent for depicting light and shadow provides the foundation for him to deliver subjects and scenes to the viewer's eye. This masterful work would make a great addition to an art collection and enhance most any home, perfect for those who have an affinity for still lifes, interior paintings, and color-rich works of art. In the artist’s own words, “I don’t paint what is inside of me; I paint what I see outside of me. I’m an observer. If I see something and I feel an affinity for it, something just clicks in my head. I’ll make the decision right then and there to paint that particular subject during that particular moment. It’s a perfect moment. Once something has caught my eye and I’ve heard the “perfect” click, it’s like a photograph has been taken in my mind’s eye. I only have a few days of clarity with that image. I have to start the painting quickly or else it will be gone and I will lose that image forever.” Artist: ROBERT KENNETH WHITE...

  • "House, & Flowers, & Moonlight" Oil Painting on Canvas by Ralph Rosenborg Framed
    By Ralph Rosenborg
    Located in Encino, CA
    "House, and Flowers, and Moonlight," an original oil on canvas by Ralph Rosenborg, is a piece for the true collector. In 1988, Louise Nevelson wrote: "Ralph Rosenborg was the first recognized pioneer whose experimental art announced the coming of Abstract Expressionism in the United States during the mid-1930s. Rosenborg was the first to introduce and instruct Jackson Pollock on Abstract Expressionism while at the Non-Objective Painting Museum in the early 1940s, which became the Guggenheim Museum. Ralph Rosenborg is The American Artist. Rosenborg produced daring artworks and explored the possibilities of movements that are expressive of ideas, sensations and passions intended to provoke pure emotions." Both the technical talent of Rosenborg and his choice of subject matter pair perfectly with custom wood frame. This masterful work is perfect for those who have an affinity for abstracts, abstract expressionism, landscapes, and color-rich works. This Rosenborg painting has an important history, with the rare provenance of moving through both Sothebys and Christies auction houses, as well as two notable dealers including Nat Halper and H. Marc Moyens. Full provenance details are outlined below.

MARC MOYENS SOTHEBY’S, NEW YORK, APRIL 1, 1998 COLLECTION OF NATHAN (1907-1983) & HELEN HALPER (1908-1996), MA HCE GALLERY, PROVINCETOWN, MA (OWNED BY NATHAN HALPER) About the Artist: Ralph Rosenborg, an American painter, was known for his abstract paintings that inclined not toward geometric form, but rather the interpretation of nature. Rosenborg was born in New York in 1913, his talent for the fine art appearing early. While still in high school, he won a scholarship to classes at the American Museum of Natural History, meeting Henriette Reiss, who he continued to study under privately well after the classes ended. Reiss had worked with Wassily Kandinsky earlier in her career, and as such introduced Rosenborg to the vast arena of vanguard European ideas, as well as provided him a broad-based instruction in music, literature, and art history. After four years, Rosenborg was ready to exhibit. He did so initially in group exhibitions at ACA Galleries, and later in Mayor La Guardia’s 1934 Mile of Art at Radio City. He quickly gained notoriety, and began to show frequently throughout the 1930s, leading up to his first solo exhibition at the Eighth Street Theater...
