Nicolas Carone
Untitled (W-2565-S)

1959

About the Item

Abstract painting from the late 1950s by Nicolas Carone. It is the painting on the right in the installation photograph. Carone was a longtime friend and collaborator of Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock beginning in the early 1950s when he settled in East Hampton, New York. Throughout the 1950s he was the director of the influential Stable gallery and a central figure in the New York school. Though a pivotal figure in the history of Abstract Expressionism, Carone was deeply linked to surrealism and became lifelong friends with Roberto Matta in Rome. Carone lived and painted on the famed Via Margutta from 1947 – 1951 having won the Rome Prize and a Fulbright Scholarship. His blending of abstracted and representational space, and use of mysterious, biomorphic forms illustrates a lifelong dialog with Matta, Arshile Gorky – whom he learned about from Matta- John Graham as well as de Kooning. Nicolas Carone's work is included in numerous important museum collections including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and the Baltimore Museum of Art.

  • Tavern, Abstract (1960)
    By Chuck Close
    Located in Saint Augustine, FL
    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...
