This sophisticated and large scale Mid Century Modern abstract expressionistic oil on canvas painting was realized by the esteemed 20th century visual artist and filmmaker Gino Hollander (1924-2015), in the United States in 1974. In dialogue with other canonized visualized artists of the period, most notably Joan Mitchell, this painting offers a dynamic composition in an understated and vibrant palette using a variety of painterly techniques. Executed in predominantly in grisaille and flaxen hues with ecru and amber accents, the composition features turpentine rivulets of running pigment; chunky blocks of paint rendered with a palette knife; and delicately applied brush strokes against a painted white background. The result is a captivatingly layered work that offers sustained visual pleasure and abundant visual discoveries. The solid white background adds negative space but also breath and depth to the composition. Full of verve and dynamism- and exhibiting masterful paint handling-, this painting embodies the qualities that discerning collectors of Abstract Expressionism (and modern art in general) absolutely adore. It would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Mid Century Modern to contemporary. It is signed and dated by the artist, and is in excellent vintage condition. The work comes presented in a custom black inked gallery frame. Gino Hollander was born in the New Jersey in 1924 and attended Rutgers University as well Hobart and William Smith College. He had two very different careers before he began painting – the first as part of the U.S. Army’s Mountain Division Ski Troop, and the second, an award-winning director and documentary filmmaker. Demonstrating his artistic versatility, Gino Hollander took up painting in 1960. From 1960 to 1962, Gino ran his first Hollander Gallery...

This is an original wooden sculpture with hand painting on both sides. it does not appear to be signed or numbered and does not currently have any label. I believe this might be the proof, There was an edition of these and this is a unique variant. All done by hand. It is on a base and revolves and rotates easily as there are ball bearings. It is very well made. Christiaan Karel Appel (1921-2006) was a Dutch artist, painter, sculptor, and poet. Born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, he died in Zurich, Switzerland. He started painting at the age of fourteen and studied at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam in the 1940s. He was one of the founders of the avant-garde movement Cobra in 1948. He was also an avid sculptor and has had works featured in MoMA, the Stedelijk and other museums worldwide. At fourteen, Appel produced his first real painting on canvas, a still life of a fruit basket. For his fifteenth birthday, his wealthy uncle Karel Chevalier gave him a paint set and an easel. An avid amateur painter himself, Chevalier gave his namesake some lessons in painting. From 1940 to 1943, during the German occupation, Appel studied at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam, and it was there he met the young painter Guillaume Corneille and, some years later, Constant; they became close friends for years. Appel had his first show in Groningen in 1946. In 1949 he participated with the other CoBrA artists in the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam; this generated a huge scandal and many objections in the press and public. He was influenced by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and the French brute-art artist Jean Dubuffet. In 1947 he started sculpting with all kinds of used materials (in the technique of assemblage) and painted them in bright colors: white, red, yellow, blue, and black. He joined the Experimentele Groep in Holland together with the young Dutch painters Anton Rooskens...
