16 Barbras (Jewish Jackie Series)
Located in Wilton Manors, FL
Deborah Kass (b.1952). 16 Barbras (Jewish Jackie Series), 1992. 40 x 48 inches. Acrylic silkscreen inks on canvas. Signed, titled and dated in pencil en verso. Biography: (b. 1952, lives and works in Brooklyn, NY) Deborah Kass employs the visual motifs of post-war painting to explore the intersection of politics, popular culture, art history and personal identity. Her celebrated series, The Warhol Project, from the early 1990’s refocused Andy Warhol’s eye for celebrity portraiture. Her work incorporates lyrics from Broadway musicals, movie quotations and Yiddish sayings into canonical formats like Frank Stella’s concentric squares, Ellsworth Kelly’s rainbow spectrum and Andy Warhol’s camouflage patterns. Kass’s work is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Jewish Museum and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The National Portrait Gallery, among others. She is a Senior Critic in the Graduate Painting Program at Yale University. Recent solo and group exhibitions include The Pittsburgh Biennial at The Andy Warhol Museum; “The Deconstructive Impulse” at the Neuberger Museum of Art in Purchase, NY; “feel good paintings for feel bad times” and “MORE feel good paintings for feel bad times” at Paul Kasmin Gallery; and “Shifting the Gaze: Painting and Feminism” at The Jewish Museum in New York, NY. In 2012, The Andy Warhol Museum hosted “Deborah Kass: Before and Happily Ever After, a Mid-Career Retrospective.” Kass’s work was also featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years.” SOLO EXHIBITIONS 2013 “My Elvis +,” PAUL KASMIN GALLERY, New York 2012 “Deborah Kass: Before and Happily Ever After, a Mid-Career Retrospective,” ANDY WARHOL MUSEUM, Pittsburgh, PA 2010 “MORE feel good paintings for feel bad times,” PAUL KASMIN GALLERY, New York 2007 “feel good paintings for feel bad times,” PAUL KASMIN GALLERY, New York “Armory Show,” PAUL KASMIN GALLERY, New York 2001 “Deborah Kass: The Warhol Project,“ WEATHERSPOON ART GALLERY, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, NC 2000 “Deborah Kass: The Warhol Project,” UNIVERSITY ART MUSEUM, University of California at Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA “Deborah Kass: The Warhol Project,” BLAFFER GALLERY, University of Houston, Houston, TX 1999 “Deborah Kass: The Warhol Project,” NEWCOMBE ART GALLERY, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA (traveling, catalogue) 1998 ARTHUR ROGER GALLERY, New Orleans, LA 1996 “My Andy: a retrospective,” Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and Design, Kansas City, MO 1995 “My Andy: a retrospective,” JOSE FREIRE FINE ART, New York “My Andy: a retrospective,” ARTHUR ROGER GALLERY, New Orleans, LA 1994 BARBARA KRAKOW GALLERY, Boston, MA 1993 “Chairman Ma,” JOSE FREIRE FINE ART, New York “Chairman Ma,” ARTHUR ROGER GALLERY, New Orleans, LA 1992 “The Jewish Jackie Series and My Elvis,” FICTION/NONFICTION, New York “The Jewish Jackie Series,” SIMON WATSON, New York 1990 SIMON WATSON GALLERY, New York 1988 SCOTT HANSON...

Original Abstract Paintings for Sale on 1stDibs

Bring audacious experiments with color and textures to your living room, dining room or home office. Abstract paintings, large or small, will stand out in your space, encouraging conversation and introducing a museum-like atmosphere that’s welcoming and conducive to creating memorable gatherings.

Abstract art has origins in 19th-century Europe, but it came into its own as a significant movement during the 20th century. Early practitioners of abstraction included Wassily Kandinsky, although painters were exploring nonfigurative art prior to the influential Russian artist’s efforts, which were inspired by music and religion. Abstract painters endeavored to create works that didn’t focus on the outside world’s conventional subjects, and even when artists depicted realistic subjects, they worked in an abstract mode to do so.

In 1940s-era New York City, a group of painters working in the abstract mode created radical work that looked to European avant-garde artists as well as to the art of ancient cultures, prioritizing improvisation, immediacy and direct personal expression. While they were never formally affiliated with one another, we know them today as Abstract Expressionists.

The male contingent of the Abstract Expressionists, which includes Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Robert Motherwell, is frequently cited in discussing leading figures of this internationally influential postwar art movement. However, the women of Abstract Expressionism, such as Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell and others, were equally involved in the art world of the time. Sexism, family obligations and societal pressures contributed to a long history of their being overlooked, but the female Abstract Expressionists experimented vigorously, developed their own style and produced significant bodies of work.

Draw your guests into abstract oil paintings across different eras and countries of origin. On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive range of abstract paintings along with a guide on how to arrange your wonderful new wall art.

If you’re working with a small living space, a colorful, oversize work can create depth in a given room, but there isn’t any need to overwhelm your interior with a sprawling pièce de résistance. Colorful abstractions of any size can pop against a white wall in your living room, but if you’re working with a colored backdrop, you may wish to stick to colors that complement the decor that is already in the space. Alternatively, let your painting make a statement on its own, regardless of its surroundings, or group it, gallery-style, with other works.
