Kraaijenveld
'Post voor de Haven nr. 20'. Large Dutch Mixed Media Abstract.

About the Item

Large Abstract Expressionist mixed media work by Dutch artist Kraaijenveld. Titled 'Post voor de Haven Nr. 20' to the front left third and to the rear, also signed with artists monogram. An extremely interesting, sculptural and tactile work of art titled 'Post for Harbour no. 20' This piece consists of a painted metal sheet divided into three main parts. Each part is painted in different oil paint colours with addition of overpainted paper collage (referencing a postage stamp), a 'this way up' arrow, a band of iron and string to wrap up the work as if tied like a parcel. The work is three dimensional as the back is reinforced with layers of cardboard and tape with postal stickers attached further emphasising the postal references. The surface of the image is pitted, at times incised. Also the thicker application of paint at points gives an impression of overlaid metal sheets with nail heads protruding and drilled holes. This, plus the symbol of the anchor, graffiti, rusted metal and Poseidon's trident all contribute to an industrial harbour reference. A striking, sculptural piece to capture the imagination. The artists work is included in various collections see: THE JAN & MONIQUE DES BOUVRIE COLLECTION

    By Michael Goldberg

    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...
