About the Item

Daniel Lergon (German, b. 1978) Untitled, 2012 Oil on canvas 47 1/2 x 39 1/2 inches Signed and dated on the reverse Provenance: Galerie Christian Lethert, Cologne Spurred by his curiosity toward scientific conundrums, Daniel Lergon experiments with light effects and chemical reactions. Although he calls himself a painter, he rarely uses paint. In early works such as Cold Fire (2008), he applied transparent lacquer to high-tech fabrics, exploring optics and perception, while in Lapetus (2010), he used retro-reflective materials to highlight the contrast between light and dark. In recent works, he has combined elemental metals like powdered copper, zinc, and oxidized iron with water to form ephemeral patterns. Lergon believes in a phenomenological approach to the experience of an artwork, maintaining that a painting’s space functions as an eigenraum, or “own space,” in which one has a personal reaction to physical matter.

"Untitled" William Scharf, Abstract Expressionist, New York School
By William Scharf
Located in New York, NY
William Scharf Untitled, 1962 Signed lower left; signed and dated verso Oil on canvas 48 x 50 inches A visionary painter with ties to the avant-garde artistic community in New York at midcentury, William Scharf nevertheless defies art historical categorization. His abstracted compositions of organic and geometric formal elements recall the free associations of Surrealism and the all-over grandeur of Abstract Expressionism, and at the same time embody a very individual and immediately recognizable pictorial sense. Scharf combines virtuoso paint handling, vibrant color, and rich symbolic language in canvases that engage the viewer in a transcendent and emotional dialogue. This dialogue is accomplished in part through recurring symbols, which allude to hidden, mysterious narratives. Scharf plumbs the psychological wells of collective myths for symbolic content: the crown of thorns, the ladder, the fish, and the cross can be found throughout, functioning not, as one might expect, as religious symbols, but rather as a means through which to access a deeper, symbolic level of visual communication. Born in 1927 in Media, Pennsylvania, an early friendship with renowned artist N.C. Wyeth encouraged Scharf’s artistic efforts from a very young age. After a time with the Army Air Corps in the mid-1940s, Scharf formalized his art studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under Franklin Watkins...
