Anita Margrill
"Domus Series" - Abstract Geometric Futuristic Neon Landscape

1985

About the Item

A bright neon futuristic geometric landscape, depicting a detailed imaginative deconstructive dome structure in a polychrome world, titled "Domus Series" by Anita Margrill (American, 20th Century). Signed lower left and titled lower right. Unframed. Anita Margrill was born in New York City. She attended Cranbrook Academy of Art, received her BA from Bennington College, her B. Architecture from CUNY School of Architecture and Environmental Studies, and her MA in Interdisciplinary Arts from San Francisco State University. The artist has had grants from the New York Foundation, American Iron and Steel Institute, and Copper Development Association as well as numerous Public Art competition awards. She has been artist-in-residence at the Djerassi Foundation, Woodside, CA; has received a National Endowment Interarts Grant (funded through the Night Fire Theater Company) and an Art-in-Public Buildings Award from the California Arts Council. ​As a licensed architect she has designed and built several passive solar houses and she holds numerous copyrights and patents for her water distribution systems. The interdisciplinary relationship between art, architecture, and technology is the key to the way Margrill approaches a site. In all her site-specific art projects, Margrill uses her thorough knowledge of materials and methods, to express architectural reasonings, in all its preoccupation with aesthetics, specific function and historical resonance. ​Multilayered, poetic and functional, her work also mirrors a choreography of change, utilizing the resources of sunlight, wind and water - elements most eloquent in conveying the idea of place - to create compelling images and events addressing environmental concerns.

Three Pyramids + Blue Ball
By Alexander Calder
Located in Palm Desert, CA
"Three Pyramids + Blue Ball" is a gouache on paper by Alexander Calder. The work is signed in the lower right, "Calder 73”. Although renowned for his innovative and groundbreaking sculptures, Alexander Calder started his artistic career as an abstract painter, preferring to use gouache. What is gouache? Gouache is a water-soluble paint – a type of opaque watercolor. As Calder returned to gouache painting towards the end of his life, he was now armed with a lifetime of experience as a sculptor. He explored the three-dimensional vocabulary of sculptural forms he had developed onto the two-dimensional surface of the paper. Certain shapes and colors recur throughout his gouaches and sculptures. Circles, ovals, and other geometric forms dominate the space. There is the same sense of energy and fluidity. The shapes do not sit on the surface but vibrate giving a feeling of movement in contrast to the static nature of painting. Like his sculpture, Calder’s gouache...
