Yuriko Takata's work is a simple celebration of the beauty of nature. Her floral prints range from delicately rendered watercolors reminiscent of French antique botanical prints to bold, pastel still-life images inspired by the oil paintings of the old Dutch Masters. After making extensive sketches in exotic and beautiful locations around the world, Takata returns to the privacy of her own studio to complete her works. She eagerly explores different artistic styles, and her talent lies in her ability to foresee interior design developments and focus her imagery on these trendsetting styles. Always searching for new insights and visual experiences, Takata's interests range from realistic still-life and landscape to the exploration of purely abstract imagery with a simplified surface. Takata was born and raised in California but still converses in Japanese with her mother, who studies the ancient Japanese art of flower arranging. Although she frequently visits the rest of her family in Japan, Takata considers the San Francisco Bay area her home. With exhibits in the United States, Europe and Japan, Takata's work is held in the collections of AT&T, Bank of America, Dean Witter, Foremost McKesson, Hollister, Inc., Illinois Bell...

Caviar20 is excited to be offering this striking collage by the inimitable Louise Nevelson, who is regarded as one of the most original, influential, and successful American sculptors of the 20th century. Nevelson's enduring appeal lies in her distinct visual language, which is apparent in all of her works, regardless of medium. While her iconic monochromatic wood assemblages are instantly recognizable, she continuously experimented with diverse materials, including resin, steel, and bronze, as well as numerous printmaking techniques. Collage was an important part of Nevelson's practice, defining her signature aesthetic. Much like her approach to printmaking, her collages possess a sculptural ethos that transcends the two-dimensional surface, imbuing the composition with a remarkable sense of volume, texture, and depth. One could argue that Nevelson's sculpture was informed by collage in that she took assorted existing forms combining them in order to create an entirely new and distinct arrangement. This untitled collage is an exceptional example of the artist's mastery of the medium. Featuring an assemblage of wood veneer, mirror, and metal, this work reflects Nevelson's meticulous sense of form and rhythm. Subtle details, such as the alternating direction of the wood veneer grain further heighten the visual complexity of the otherwise minimal composition. The inclusion of wood veneer marks a notable shift for Nevelson, who was previously loyal to a strict monochromatic palette of black or white. It wasn’t until the 1970s with her experimentation in collage that she expanded her palette. Nevelson also created jewellery and this collage acknowledges her activity in that realm. Created at the age of 83 during the final chapter of her career, this piece powerfully captures Nevelson's enduring spirit and dedication to artistic innovation. Today Nevelson's work can be found in every major public collection across North America and beyond. Questions about this piece? Contact us. Visit our Toronto gallery on Thursdays or by appointment.
