About the Item

Waterline Fine Art, Austin, TX is pleased to present the following work: Oil on canvas. Signed, dated, and stamped verso. 23.75 x 24 in. 25 x 25.5 in. (framed) Custom framed in a maple floater with a polyurethane clear coat finish. Provenance Private Collection, Switzerland Gottlieb Soland was born in Aarau, Switzerland in 1928, and grew up in nearby Turgi. He began an apprenticeship as a sculptor, which was disrupted by World War II and the death of his mentor in 1943. In 1944, he moved to Zurich, enrolling at the School of Applied Arts. There, he studied with Max and Ernst Gubler, Johannes Itten, and Alfred Willimann. From 1945 to 1949, he apprenticed as a graphic designer in the Zurich atelier of the influential Swiss artist Gottfried Honegger and his wife, illustrator Warja Lavater. Following this apprenticeship, he worked for a year in the Netherlands before returning to Zurich, where he ran his own graphics studio until 1955. That year he married Heidi Schatzmann, and after leaving Zurich, the family spent the next 15 years living and working in Reiden and Brione sopra Minusio. Soland would spend the next three decades living and working between Zurich and Reiden, exhibiting frequently around Switzerland. After the death of his wife in 2008, he took up residence in the Feldheim Regional Retirement and Care Center in Reiden. The Feldheim Foundation was formed in 2009, and before his death, Soland was able to arrange for the Foundation to assume management of the works in his estate. Today, the Foundation continues to serve as steward of Soland's oeuvre, working to promote his legacy as an important member of the Swiss post-war historical canon.

Yellow Tail I
By Sherron Francis
Located in Austin, TX
Waterline Fine Art, Austin, TX is pleased to present the following work: Acrylic and mixed media on canvas. Signed, titled, and dated verso. 40 x 76.5 in. 41.75 x 78.25 in. (framed) Custom framed in a solid, unfinished maple floater. Provenance Watson/de Nagy & Company, Houston Private Collection, New York Sherron Francis was born in 1940, in Downers Grove, IL outside of Chicago. She originally enrolled at the University of Oklahoma, but later transferred to the Kansas City Art Institute to focus more on art. Initially, Francis' practice was focused on figurative art, with visiting professor and renowned modern realist Philip Pearlstein remarking on Francis’ draftsman acumen. In the early 1960s, art dealers and gallerists from New York would visit the Institute to entice promising artists by offering scholarships and financial aid. Because such financial arrangements were only made for men, Francis had to persuade the school's leadership to allow for women to also be eligible for merit-based aid. Her advocacy was successful, and she ultimately graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1963. She would then proceed to obtain her MFA from the University of Indiana, before assuming a teaching position at Eastern Michigan University. In 1968, with only $300 on hand, Francis moved to 16 Waverly Place in SoHo, New York. The neighborhood was a hotbed for young AbEx artists of the day, and she quickly befriended the likes of Peter Reginato, Walter Darby Bannard, Michael Steiner, Peter Young, Peter Bradley...
