Artist: 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...

This small multicolor abstract is an exemplar work of America's most unique artistic movement, Abstract Expressionism, by one of its pioneers Fred Mitchell. This vibrantly colorful landscape is oil on canvas and exhibits the depth of creativity in Mitchell's work. The painting is signed by the artist with a verified signature. This work has been framed in an original handmade wood frame. Fred Mitchell was born in 1923 in Meridian, Mississippi. He studied at Carnegie Mellon University, then finished his studies at the Cranbrook Academy of Art where he earned his MFA. He continued his studies concurrently at the Accademia di Belle Arti, Instituto Meschini in Rome, Italy. On a Pepsi Cola cash award he funded his trip to Rome where he would be influenced by fellow painters John Heliker, Afro (Basadella), and Philip Guston. He eventually became part of the New York scene where Abstract Expressionism was breaking out, joining the "Downtown Group" and then organizing the Tanager Gallery with Angelo Ippolito, Lois Dodd, Charles Cajori and William King. He passed away in 2013. For much of his life Fred Mitchell would spend it teaching art at a number of schools which included the Neighborhood House, Finch College, Positano Art...

This is an abstract acrylic painting by Nicolas Carone titled 'Cavalcade,' which is from 2009, the period of the painter's life. 'Cavalcade' is a beautiful composition of splashed black and white paint. The painting is an excellent scale and is very dynamic. Carone was one of the last surviving Abstract Expressionist painters known for his figurative style based on abstract principles. The figure acts as the foundation that shapes his lyrical brushstrokes, layered drips and delicate washes. His later works successfully integrate the classical figurative tradition of his early training with the spontaneous and instinctual painting process of his AbEx contemporaries and friends such as Jackson Pollock, Sam Francis, Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning and Conrad Marca-Relli. Nicholas Carone is best known for his association with the New York School of Abstract Expressionists who came to prominence in the 1950s. He was born to Italian immigrants in Manhattan’s Lower East Side in 1917, the eldest of seven children. He was raised in Hoboken, New Jersey and began attending art school on the nights and weekends at age eleven at the Leonardo da Vinci Art School in Manhattan. After high school, he studied at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design and with Hans Hofmann before serving in World War II. In 1947 he won the prestigious Prix de Rome and spent three years in Italy on the G.I. Bill starting in 1948. In 1949, he was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship. In Rome, living on Via Margutta, he met Alberto Burri, Conrad Marc-Relli and the surrealist Matta...
