Carrie Lederer
'Man In Motion', Framed Modernist Figural, Woman Artist, SFMOMA, Oakland Museum

Circa 1985

About the Item

Signed lower right and painted circa 1985. Provenance label verso from Ianetti Lanzone Gallery. Winner of the prestigious Fleishacker Eureka Fellowship, Carrie Lederer received her BFA in sculpture from Michigan State University and has exhibited both nationally and internationally with success including at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Oakland Museum, the Calvin Morris Gallery (NY) and the Franz Mehring Gallery, Berlin among others. The recipient of numerous medals, prizes and juried awards, Ms. Lederer continues to live and paint in Oakland, California. From artist's website: For over twenty years I have been making work that primarily relates to one subject—life forms in nature and our relationship to the natural world. My paintings and sculpture depict turbulent gardens informed by nature’s riotous colorful beauty, or the deep dark space of our universe filled with a Byzantine intricacy of stars, snowflakes, and snowmen. The work conveys the order beneath the confusion found in these two worlds—the garden and universe—both of which are astounding, capricious and seemingly anarchic. The science of fractals and patterns of chaos are particularly important to my work. A fractal is a complex geometric figure made up of patterns that repeat itself—each time on a smaller scale, and each smaller version is referred to as a “self-similar ” form. At first glance they seem to be a tangle of order/disorder or violence/beauty. I’m drawn to nature’s intrinsic capacity to create and reproduce pattern—as both a source of imagery and working process for my own art. Fractals basically tell the story of the wild transformations in nature that take place on a daily basis, and they give order to a chaotic world of energy and change. My paintings, sculpture and installations are a response to these natural wonderments. Size including frame: 25.25 H x 19.25"W x 1.25D

'Large Post Impressionist Figural Oil Triptych', Bennington, Richmond Art Center
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
Painted by Mine Grassetti (American-Dutch, 1928-2021) circa 1995. Inscribed, verso, with certification of authenticity dated October 6th, 2021, by the artist's son, Richard Grassetti. Mine Grassetti first attended Vermont's Bennington College, the first college to include visual and performing arts as an equal partner in the liberal arts curriculum. In 1948, she graduated with a degree in art and architecture and subsequently studied at the Richmond Art Center. It was during this extended period, the 1950's through the mid 1960's, that the Center was staffed with such California luminaries as David Park, Richard Diebenkorn and Elmer Bischoff and Grassetti had the good fortune to be exposed to the ferment of artistic ideas and theories of modernism that were generated there. We are pleased to offer this vibrant figural triptych...

'Azure & Sand', California Figurative Abstraction, Pacific Art League, Palo Alto
By Amanda Danitschek
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
Initialed lower left, 'A.D.' for Amanda Danitschek (American, born 1956) and painted circa 2010. Additionally signed twice, verso, and titled, 'Against All Odds (12 Stories)' A substantial Modernist figural oil showing a view of a woman standing before an azure band of distant ocean. Born in Delano, California, Amanda Danitschek first studied art and design at San Jose City College and, subsequently, at West Valley College, Saratoga. Danitschek explores her fascination with postures, expressions, and colors in her collages and paintings through unconventionally observed figures that appear untethered from the physical world. Speaking of her work, the artist has said: "My figurative paintings are a menagerie of quirky creatures that evoke a curious sense of dislocation. They are redolent of actors in a play, characters from a novel and depression-era survivors. I am fascinated by postures, expressions, colors and textures. I eliminate detail so that the persona is left with only their essence. The alternative reality is shared with birds, boats and ethereal costumes. The stage is set and the figures are finding their path; their role in life."
