Pop Art Brut Collage Mixed Media Print, Painting, Burning, Tape, Marty Greenbaum
Located in Surfside, FL
Marty Greenbaum (1934-2020)
''Brooklyn Local in Weege Wisconsin''
Lithograph, with hand-coloring, blind stitching, stitching, burning, tape collage and paint
with Jewish, Hasidic, Sleepy Moishy character.
Marty Greenbaum (1934-2020) was an American painter, mixed media assemblage and book artist.
Greenbaum is best known for his mixed media assemblage, painting and artist books. Greenbaum appeared in three films: Hallelujah the Hills in 1963 by Adolfas Mekas, Life Dances On, in 1980 by Robert Frank, and The Present in 1996 by Robert Frank. Between 1962 and 1965 he took part in happenings by Allan Kaprow and experimental dance by Yvonne Rainer. Greenbaum authored his own happenings, i.e. Coney Island Carny, including artists such as Eddie Barton, Remy Charlip, Paul Kaplow, Paul Krasner, Al Hanson, Ed Blair, Allen Ginsberg, John Hammond, Eddie Rabkin, Lou Gossett, Renee Renee, Allan Kaprow, Phyllis Yampolsky, Thomas Hoving, Jackie Ferrara, Peter Schumann, Jim Bell, Bill Marshall, Corla Lopez, Bruce Waite, and Mark di Suvero, as well as organizing the Hall of Issues with Phyllis Yampolsky at The Judson Memorial Church.
Greenbaum had several teaching positions in the New York City public school system and was a member of the Creative Artists Public Service program twice, he also participated in various exhibitions with book objects. His work is in several public collections including The Art Institute of Chicago, Artists' Books, The Brooklyn Museum Collection, The Chrysler Museum, Norfolk, VA, Citibank, NYC, Colgate University, Hamilton, NY, Jacksonville Art Museum, Jacksonville, FL, Madison Art Center, Madison, WI, SUNY at New Paltz, NY and more.
Books as Objects
"Greenbaum, an early conceptualist, burned books in the 1960s, exhibiting the remains as 'corpses.' Today, he makes fetishistic notebooks filled with colored paper and scribbled equations, accretions of feathers and Rhoplex."
"Marty Greenbaum and Barton Lidice Benes destroy texts to create sculpture: Benes 'Bound Book,' a literal rope and wax imprisonment, and Greenbaum's 'Cutting Up,' a mixed media paste over of muted colors." Some of his most notable artist books include: "Batman" 1963-67, "In '84 Returned in 2004". Two stories about Marty from James Pernotto: we met at William Weege print shop in 1974 when he drove out from NYC with Alan Shields and Paco Grande and I was a lithography printer hired to work with them. Alan recalled on the trip out that Marty was working on his altered books and putting airplane glue on the pages and lighting it with a match. Enough said. I printed for Marty.

Judy Rifka, Abstract Expressionist Oil Painting MIxed Media 3D Construction
By Judy Rifka
Located in Surfside, FL
Hand signed verso, mixed media on two sections of joined canvas
Work is titled "Ego Wall with Mess," circa 1983. Provenance: Brooke Alexander Gallery, New York, New York. bearing their label verso.
24 x 30 x 3-3/4 inches (61.0 x 76.2 x 9.5 cm) Hand signed on the reverse: Judy Rifka
Judy Rifka (born 1945) is an American woman artist active since the 1970s as a painter and video artist. She works heavily in New York City's Tribeca and Lower East Side and has associated with movements coming out of the area in the 1970s and 1980s such as Colab and the East Village, Manhattan art scene. A video artist, book artist and abstract painter, Rifka is a multi-faceted artist who has worked in a variety of media in addition to her painting and printmaking. She was born in 1945 in New York City and studied art at Hunter College, the New York Studio School and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine.
Rifka took part in the 1980 Times Square Show, (Organized by Collaborative Projects, Inc. in 1980 at what was once a massage parlor, with now-famous participants such as Jenny Holzer, Nan Goldin, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Kiki Smith, the roster of the exhibition reads like a who’s who of the art world), two Whitney Museum Biennials (1975, 1983), Documenta 7, Just Another Asshole (1981), curated by Carlo McCormick and received the cover of Art in America in 1984 for her series, "Architecture," which employed the three-dimensional stretchers that she adopted in exhibitions dating to 1982; in a 1985 review in the New York Times, Vivien Raynor noted Rifka's shift to large paintings of the female nude, which also employed the three-dimensional stretchers. In a 1985 episode of Miami Vice, Bianca Jagger played a character attacked in front of Rifka's three-dimensional nude still-life, "Bacchanaal", which was on display at the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale. Rene Ricard wrote about Rifka in his influential December 1987 Art Forum article about the iconic identity of artists from Van Gogh to Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, The Radiant Child.The untitled acrylic painting on plywood, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, demonstrates the artist's use of plywood as a substrate for painting. Artist and writer Mark Bloch called her work "imaginative surfaces that support experimental laboratories for interferences in sensuous pigment." According to artist and curator Greg de la Haba, Judy Rifka's irregular polygons on plywood "are among the most important paintings of the decade".
In 2013, Rifka's daily posts on Facebook garnered a large social media audience for her imaginative "selfies," erudite friendly comments, and widely attended solo and group exhibitions, Judy Rifka's pop art figuration is noted for its nervous line and frenetic pace. In the January 1998 issue of Art in America, Vincent Carducci echoed Masheck, “Rifka reworks the neo-classical and the pop, setting all sources in quotation for today’s art-world cognoscenti.” Rifka, along with artists like David Wojnarowicz, helped to take Pop sensibility into a milieu that incorporated politics and high art into Postmodernism; Robert Pincus-Witten stated in his 1988 essay, Corinthian Crackerjacks & Passing Go that "Rifka’s commitment to process and discovery, doctrine with Abstract Expressionist practice, is of paramount concern though there is nothing dogmatic or pious about Rifka’s use of method. Playful rapidity and delight in discovery is everywhere evident in her painting." In 2016, a large retrospective of Rifka's art was shown at the Jean-Paul Najar Foundation in Dubai. In 2017, Gregory de la Haba presented a Rifka retrospective at the Amstel Gallery...

Title:
Abstract with Portrait - Oil and Collage on Canvas by Horacio Sapere (1985)
Short Description:
A unique abstract piece by Horacio Sapere, influenced by artists like Antoni Tàpies and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Mixed media combining oil and collage, perfect for contemporary art collectors.
Detailed Description:
Discover the fascinating intersection of abstraction and figuration with "Abstract with Portrait" by Horacio Sapere. Created in 1985, this piece blends oil and collage on a 24 x 18-inch canvas, showcasing the artist's mastery in layering textures and integrating forms.
Horacio Sapere, known for his multidisciplinary approach that spans painting, visual poetry, and performance, aligns himself with the tradition of great contemporary art figures. His work echoes the material intensity of Antoni Tàpies, the gestural energy of Jean-Michel Basquiat, and the narrative capacity of Robert Rauschenberg, establishing a dialogue between chaos and order, abstraction and figuration.
Inspired by the artistic movements of the late 20th century, Sapere crafts a visual language that resonates with Informalism and Abstract Expressionism, making it a standout choice for contemporary art enthusiasts.
This piece is ideal for those looking to enrich their collection with a work that is not only visually striking but also conceptually grounded. It includes a certificate of authenticity to guarantee its provenance and originality.
Related Artists:
- Antoni Tàpies: For his use of unconventional materials and focus on texture
- Jean-Michel Basquiat: For the energy and expressiveness of abstract strokes
- Robert Rauschenberg: For the combination of mixed media and collage in compositions
- Cy Twombly: For balancing visual chaos with the subtlety of abstract forms
Key Points for Collectors:
- A unique piece by an internationally recognized artist
- Contemporary style that fits modern spaces
- Mixed media highlighting the interplay of textures and color
- Guaranteed provenance with a certificate of authenticity
Dimensions: 24 x 18 inches (unframed)
Technique: Oil and collage on canvas
A Treasure for Contemporary Art Collectors
This work represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire an original piece by an artist who, like Tàpies or Basquiat, challenges traditional art norms to offer a unique visual and emotional experience.
