About the Item
Alex Kiessling war der erste Mitarbeiter der Galerie in Wien und engagierte sich auch gleich dafür, Künstler seiner Generation im Ausstellungsprogramm unterzubringen. Die Ausstellung „Junge Realisten“ war dabei das erste Ergebnis und führte auch zur ersten Präsentation seiner Arbeiten in den Galerieräumlichkeiten. Bald danach traf er die richtige Entscheidung sich voll auf die Kunst zu konzentrieren und durchzustarten, wobei eine Personale im Museum Angerlehner einer der letzten Höhepunkte war.
China Girl stammt aus dem Jahr 2008 und markiert den Beginn eines wichtigen Abschnitts in der Malerei von Alex Kiesling, der 2009 mit seiner Schwimmer-Serie beginnt. Porträts von Schwimmer, erkenntlich durch Badehaube und Schwimmbrillen, die vor einem monochromen Hintergrund positioniert sind. Das Motiv geht auf einen Tagtraum zurück und wird zu einer ganzen Serie von sehr eindringlichen Porträts.
Die Basis all dieser Arbeit ist diese äußert expressive China Girl vor grellem gelbem Hintergrund. Kaum geöffnete Auge, sichtbare Zähne ohne Lächeln und eine bullige Nase ergeben ein äußerst markantes Profil, das dem Betrachter nicht unbeeindruckt lassen kann und dessen Wirkung durch Hintergrund und Perspektive noch verstärkt wird. Es ist kein psychologisierendes Porträt, sondern ein Pop-Ikone, die Alex Kiesling hier geschaffen

Portrait of Dave Winfield, American Major League Baseball Right Fielder
By Edward Avedisian
Located in Hudson, NY
Portrait of Dave Winfield
Edward Avedisian
20 x 14 inches, acrylic on stretched canvas
Armenian-American artist, Avedisian was best known for his work made in New York City during the 1960s: brilliantly colored, boldly composed canvases that combined Minimalism’s rigor, Pop’s exuberance and the saturated tones of Color Field painting. He was largely recognized for a series of Beach Ball paintings that emerged in the early 1960's and into the later 1960's the artist began painting larger horizontal paintings, featuring vertically intersecting beacon-like stripes that highlighted characteristics from both the Post-Painterly and Color Field movements.
In this portrait, Avedisian using his signature use of color, combining bright rusty reds and oranges against a metallic green gold backdrop.
A major work from Avedesian's color-stripe series was featured on the cover of Artforum's January 1969 issue (pictured here). Also pictured are photographs of the artist c. 1970 in his studio in New York City and catalog pages from Avedisian's inclusion in the American Painting Now Expo at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, MA in Dec 1967 - Jan 1968. The exhibition, organized by art critic Alan Solomon, featured one of Avedisian's signature Beach Ball paintings alongside large works by Robert Motherwell and Jim Rosenquist.
About the subject:
Dave Winifield is American former Major League Baseball right fielder born in 1951 and who played for six teams (San Diego Padres, New York Yankees, California Angels, Toronto Blue Jays, Minnesota Twins, and Cleveland Indians) during his 22 year long career. He had the winning hit in the 1992 World Series with the Blue Jays over the Atlanta Braves. Winfield retired in 1996 and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001, in his first year of eligibility.
About the Artist:
In the 1960’s, Edward Avedisian was one of the youngest of those luminaries producing a grand new abstract painting. Shown first at Ivan Karp and Dick Bellamy’s Hansa Gallery and then at Robert Elkon, Avedisian’s insouciant mix of pop playfulness, color field cool and high formalist style put his art in a unique, and at the time generously rewarded, position. Paintings made it onto the cover of Artforum, were purchased by all the major museums, were among the few abstract works shown as representative of America’s post-war achievement at Expo 67 in Montreal and comprised a cornerstone in histories of the period written by Barbara Rose, among others. The artist was largely influenced by his Color-Field predecessors, Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman. Throughout the 1960's and into the mid 1970's the artist was celebrated in the Manhattan art scene, contributing to the Post-Painterly Abstraction movements with contemporaries Helen Frankenthaler, Andy Warhol, Jules Olitski, and Larry Poons.

NY Times Obituary, published Aug 23, 2007 by Roberta Smith:
Mr. Avedisian was best known for his work in the 1960s: brilliantly colored, boldly composed canvases that combined Minimalism’s rigor, Pop’s exuberance and the saturated tones of Color Field painting.
A frequent motif was a cluster of bright seedlike orbs corralled at the center of a vibrant monochrome field by larger rings of color, creating an image that could resemble a buoyant cross-section of some unknown fruit.
Mr. Avedisian was born in Lowell, Mass., in 1936 and studied art at the Boston Museum School. By the late 1950s he was living in New York, part of a generation of promising young painters that included Frank Stella, Larry Poons and Darby Bannard.
From 1958 to 1963 Mr. Avedisian had six solo shows in New York galleries, including two at the Robert Elkon Gallery, where he continued to show almost every year until 1975. By the early 1960s Mr. Avedisian was a rising star. During that decade, his work appeared on the cover of Artforum, in “The Responsive Eye” exhibition of Op Art at the Museum of Modern Art and in four annuals at the Whitney Museum of American Art. His paintings were widely sought by collectors and acquired by major museums in New York and elsewhere.
In the mid-1970s Mr. Avedisian moved to Hudson and became less visible. His paintings soon began shifting toward representation; he took to calling his abstract paintings “a period style.” But he continued to be well served by his feeling for color, scale and surface. His landscapes described his surroundings in blunt, flat shapes and singing hues reminiscent of those of Marsden Hartley and Paula Modersohn...
