About the Item

Oil on linen. Gallery label verso. 42 x 30 inches 42.75 x 30.75 inches (framed) Custom framed in a welded steel floater. Provenance Dart Gallery, Chicago Private Collection, Cleveland Jim Lutes was born in 1955 in Fort Lewis, Washington. He moved to Chicago in 1980 to attend graduate school at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he received his MFA in 1982. Lutes first gained recognition as an artist when his debut solo exhibition in 1986 at Dart Gallery in Chicago sold out. The following year Lutes made his first of two appearances in a Whitney Biennial exhibition, the second being in 2010. Considered heir to the Imagist tradition, Lutes exemplifies a larger and more complex historical narrative that entails the emergence of figuration and regionalism under the declining influence of Abstract Expressionism. Central to Lutes’s work is a key duality, sometimes expressed as the tension between opposing forces and other times as an internal, less definable, human struggle. His subjects come from widely ranging sources including both his own personal history and a greater collective experience, comprising an oeuvre unique in contemporary art. Lutes’s work has been exhibited widely both nationally and internationally. Career highlights include his selection for Documenta IX (1992) and retrospectives at both the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (1983) and The Renaissance Society (2009). In 2009, Jim Lutes was named F. L. Wells Professor at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He is the recipient of a 2010 Guggenheim Fellowship, and his work can be found in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the S.M.A.K, Ghent.

  • Untitled
    By Michael Goldberg
    Located in Austin, TX
    Oil, pastel, and paper collage on canvas. Signed and dated verso. 52.75 x 47.75 in. 54 x 49 in. (framed) Gilded floater frame. Provenance Compass Rose, Chicago Born Sylvan Irwin Goldberg in 1924 and raised in the Bronx, Michael Goldberg was an important figure in American Abstract Expressionism, who began taking art classes at the Art Students League in 1938. A gifted student, Goldberg finished high school at the age of 14 and enrolled in City College. He soon found New York’s jazz scene to be a more compelling environment, and he began skipping classes in favor of the Harlem jazz clubs near campus. Goldberg’s love of jazz would become a lifelong passion and a key component to his approach to composition in his paintings. From 1940 to 1942, like many of the leading artists of the New York School, Goldberg studied with Hans Hofmann. In 1943, he put his pursuit of painting on hold and enlisted in the U.S. Army. Serving in North Africa, Burma, and India, Goldberg received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star before being discharged in 1946. After his service, he traveled and worked in Venezuela before returning to the United States, settling back in New York and resuming studies with Hofmann and at the Art Students League. Living downtown and frequenting the Cedar Bar, Goldberg befriended many of the artists of the New York School. In 1951, his work was included in the groundbreaking Ninth Street Show, co-organized by Leo Castelli, Conrad Marca-Relli, and the Eighth Street Club, and featuring the work of - among others - Hofmann, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline. In 1953, the Tibor de Nagy...
