Jane Sauer
Cone Drawing with Sculpture

About the Item

Cone Drawing with Sculpture By Jane Sauer (b. 1937- ) Cone Drawing Unframed: 30" x 31.5" Cone Drawing Framed: 37" x 29" Cone Sculpture: 27" x 4" Born in 1937 in St. Louis, Missouri, Jane Sauer is a multifaceted player in contemporary craft. Sauer has been a gallerist, program director, board member, and art educator, but she entered the field as a fiber artist. Interested in art since childhood, Sauer earned her BFA from Washington University in St. Louis in 1959. Though she was originally focused on painting, Sauer shifted to fiber – drawn to the tactile and meditative qualities of the work. Sauer is now known for her basket forms, made with knotted waxed-linen. She often creates works to be shown in pairs or groupings that suggest intimate interpersonal interactions. Conscious of the early origins of her craft, Sauer is interested in connecting to the experience of her ancient predecessors through shared manual knowledge. In the late 1990s, Sauer relocated from St. Louis to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she was a founder of the Textile Art Alliance and became involved in gallery work. She served as artistic director of Thirteen Moons Gallery for several years before taking over management in 2005. Her eponymous Jane Sauer Gallery was a Santa Fe fixture until closing in 2013. Sauer has exhibited around the world and been collected by many museums, including the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in Washington, DC, and the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. She received the 2002 Award of Honor from the Craft Alliance and a Distinguished Alumni Award from Washington University in 1998. Jane Sauer was elected a Fellow of the American Craft Council in 2002.

  • Piccolo Guerriero (Little Warrior)
    By Luciano Minguzzi
    Located in Missouri, MO
    Luciano Minguzzi (Italian, 1911-2004) Piccolo Guerriero (Little Warrior) c. 1950s Bronze Monogrammed and Numbered 1/5 Height From Base to Top: approx. 12" High Bronze: 6 3/4 inches x 4W x 3D Luciano Minguzzi was born in Bologna in 1911 and died in Milan in 2004. In 1943 he took part in the Fourth Quadrennial of Rome. In 1950 he was awarded the grand prize for sculpture at the XXV Venice Biennale, and attended again in 1952. His works can be found at Museum of the Fabbrica del Duomo, in the Museum of Modern Art in the Vatican and in the Galleries of Modern Art in Rome, Milan, Bologna, Florence, Trieste, Verona, Carrara, Padova, as well as abroad and overseas. Additional Biography (translated from Italian): Luciano Minguzzi ( Bologna , 24 May 1911 - Milan , 30 May 2004 ) was a sculptor and medalist Italian . Image of the exhibition Luciano Minguzzi: sculptures and gouaches 1950-1970 in the Romanesque cloister of the Cathedral of Prato ( Museo dell'Opera del Duomo ), 24 April - 24 May 1971. Photo by Paolo Monti . Index: He made his first experiences under the wise guidance of his father, also a sculptor , continuing his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna following the engraving courses held by Giorgio Morandi , those of sculpture under the guidance of Ercole Drei , attending at ' university the lessons Roberto Longhi. Thanks to a scholarship, he stayed in Paris and London , starting to exhibit in 1933 and already at the Roman Quadrennial of 1943 he obtained his first prize, which was followed by others including the Angelicum of 1946 and the first place ex aequo at the Biennale del 1950. Immediately after the war he created the monument to the Partisan and the Partisan for his hometown , located near Porta Lame , in the area where an epic battle between Nazi-Fascists and partisans took place in 1944 .
The work, composed of two figures of young people - one of which armed - caught in a moment of great naturalness, was forged with cast bronze from the equestrian statue of Benito Mussolini (by Giuseppe Graziosi ) which was located inside the current "Renato Dall'Ara" Stadium, in turn made with some cannons stolen from the Austrians during the Bolognese Risorgimento uprisings of 1848. Still on the theme linked to war , but with a changed style with more dramatic and expressionist tones , in the fifties he created a series of sculptures inspired by the theme of the men of the Lager and the unknown and anonymous victims, obtaining in 1953 the third prize in the competition for the "Monument to the Unknown Political Prisoner " announced by the Tate Gallery ( London ). In 1950 he won the competition for the "Quinta Porta" of the Milan Cathedral , completed in 1965 . In 1962 he participated, together with the most important international sculptors of the time, in the exhibition Sculptures in the city organized by Giovanni Carandente as part of the V Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto . He presented a 1958 iron and bronze sculpture entitled Pas-de-quatre. In 1970 he was given the task of building the "Door of good and evil" of the basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican , on which he worked with vigor and passion for seven years. In 2012, on the occasion of the centenary of the artist's birth, a posthumous anthological exhibition was set up in Bologna at the Fondazione del Monte [1] . He also worked as a medalist: his example is the silver 500 lire coin...
