Anne Coe
"Unexpected Visitors" original acrylic on canvas painting by Anne Coe

1992

About the Item

"Unexpected Visitors" is a classic and wonderful early example of Anne Coe's painting on canvas. Titled "Unexpected Visitors" and signed "Anne Coe" in pencil on the back of the painting, this is a gem of a wholly original work painted by Anne. Coe’s early paintings were humorous and comic-book styled. Over the years, her paintings evolved from lighthearted whimsy (such as radioactive, mutant Gila monsters destroying the world in retaliatory rage) to more mature works with a confidence of message and style. Throughout her artistic development, her commitment to change through art has remained constant. Painterly technique, strong narrative content, and the refreshing element of humor are all aspects of Coe's work that make it so compelling and accessible. "My paintings function to connect human culture to the natural world. My paintings allow me to imagine a connection between the body and nature, self and place. Often I deal with the conflicts between the wild and civilized worlds. My work is filled with irony, humor, pathos, and contradiction and as such represents the ambivalence humans have always felt for the natural world. We love it and yet want to possess it and define it and therefore, by extension, limit it. This, we all know in the end is folly." The painting itself measures 16.50 x 16.50 inches and is in excellent original condition.

  • Victor Salmones Signed Bronze Bust of a Young Child
    By Victor Salmones
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    An untitled signed bronze sculpture by the Mexican artist, Victor Salmones (1937 - 1989) from an edition of 10. Numbered 1 of 10. Signature "Victor Salmones. 1/10" in cast. In excellent original condition. Victor Salmones (1937-1989) was the most widely known sculptor living and working in Mexico during his lifetime. His sculptures won him universal acclaim and are held in the collections of museums, corporations, cities, universities and private collectors in some 30 countries. During his career, he was highly sought after and increasingly involved in the execution of commissions for major public works around the world. Salmones developed his love and talent for creating sculpture by working with clay in high school. He attended the Instituto de Bellas Artes (Mexican National Institute of Fine Arts), where he was an apprentice to the Bauhaus master, Otto Hoffman. He was trained to use the exacting, age-old lost wax method of casting and worked principally in bronze. Hoffman's encouragement led to the opening of Victor's own sculpture workshop in Cuernavaca in 1966. In 1967, Salmones’ fluid bronze “Adam” won first prize at the Biennale Exposition of the National Museum of Modern Art. His work continued to win the highest critical acclaim at subsequent Biennale expositions, and in 1971, over hundreds of entries, his life-size bronze Narcissus...
