About the Item
Oil on masonite
Lawrence Fine Art is pleased to offer this marvelous early work by first generation Abstract Expressionist painter Joe Stefanelli (1921-2017). Stefanelli exhibited at the seminal 9th Street Show in 1951. This exhibition represented the coming out of the New York School artists. Other artists who exhibited were De Kooning (both), Pollock, Krasner, Guston, Hofmann and others.
Stefanelli served in the US Army in WWII as a combat illustrator. In 1947, he enrolled in Hans Hofmann’s School of Fine Arts. Hofmann, who opened his school in 1934, exerted a great influence on many of the great names of the next half century.
In 1950 the two important art critics Meyer Shapiro and Clement Greenberg selected works by Stefanelli for their “New Talent Show” at the Kootz Gallery in New York. Shortly afterwards, Franz Kline invited Stefanelli to take part in the legendary “9th Street Show”.
Stefanelli was a gifted artist. His paintings are fiery and wanton but deliberate. He was a seasoned painter who knew how to draw and paint. He had a gift for well-conceived forms, color, and composition.
In one of his articles about the artist, John Russell, the art critic of the New York Times, wrote: “Joe Stefanelli is regarded as one of the leading minds of the New York School. He is an outstanding artist who is not easy to categorise. He creates contrasts between generous sweeping movements with a paint-laden brush and strong, straight lines (which might possibly be drawn with the handle of the brush). He is very convincing amidst that hazardous terrain where red and violet meet and succeeds in marrying pink and pale blue in a way that had been forgotten since the death of Raoul Dufys. He has a clear repertoire of shapes – circle, triangle, rectangle – and he can make them do somersaults over the entire canvas.“
He exhibited and is in the collections of The Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC; The Museum of Modern Art, NYC; Albright-Knox Museum, Buffalo, NY; and The Walker Art Center, MN to name just a few. He was the winner of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Price for Lifetime Achievement.

- G3By Diana KurzLocated in Lawrence, NYThe story of the post-WWII New York School artists is still being written. The role of women in the art of the day still needs examination and study. Kurz is one such example. Diana Kurz (b. 1938) was born into a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family whose business was Aryanized after the Anschluss forcing the family to flee, first to Spain, then across Europe, and finally to the United States. Brought up as a "normal" American girl, Kurz always wanted to be an artist. She studied at Brandeis, at Hunter with Robert Motherwell and received her MFA from Columbia. She received instruction from Hans Hoffmann, studied with Phillip Guston...Category

- Tavern, Abstract (1960)By Chuck CloseLocated in Saint Augustine, FLArtist: Chuck Close Title: Tavern Year of Work: 1960 Medium: Oil on Canvas Signature: Signed & Dated Upper Left Dimensions: framed 31 x 25 unframed 30 x 24 Provenance: Chuck Close, Marjorie Dalton (Dear friend of Chuck), Private Collection. Tavern, is truly a rare find, an original oil on canvas, in compelling blues and grays with a touch of gold and orange. This work reveals more imagery and detail the longer one enjoys it. This painting was created during his years studying in Yale Art School, and draws different qualities to each new viewer similar to a Rorschach. Close's work is in the collections of most of the great international museums of contemporary art, including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York City. and the Tate Modern in London. Artist Bio: Chuck Close – (1940-2021) an American painter, artist and photographer born in Monroe, Washington. Early childhood illnesses including a neuromuscular condition, nephritis and dyslexia were compounded later in life by a condition known as prosopagnosia (face blindness), which may have inspired him to do portraits. Most of his early, large-format portraits are based on photographs, using photorealism or hyperrealism, of family and friends, often other artists. Close often painted abstract portraits of himself and others, which hang in collections internationally. Even though a catastrophic spinal artery collapse in 1988 left him severely paralyzed, he continued to paint inspired by artists like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. Close's first solo exhibition, held in 1967 at the University of Massachusetts Art Gallery, Amherst, featured paintings, painted reliefs, and drawings based on photographs of record covers. Being much in the mainstream of pop art, a fragment of Close's portrait of singer-songwriter Paul Simon...Category
