"Untitled" is a painting by American artist David Smith. David Smith’s paintings from the 1930s rarely come to market, and when Untitled (Billiard Players) surfaced at a Christie’s auction in 2018, it created quite a stir, realizing an impressive price of $1.15 million. Painted around the same time, Untitled shares many similarities with Untitled (Billiard Players). Both paintings affirm Smith’s place among the American artists when ideas and style began to intermingle and coalesce around Picasso’s innovations. Uniquely positioned in temperament and ability, Smith was a man of considerable ambition whose direct-metal configurations would have much to do with achieving new ideas about abstraction. Yet all along, he insisted he was a painter, not a sculptor who painted. Paintings by Smith...

This dynamic 1934 vintage color serigraph by celebrated American modernist Hilaire Hiler depicts a stylized Native American figure in a fox costume, poised with a bow and adorned with a bold feathered headdress. Executed in striking contrasts of black, red, and white, the print exemplifies Hiler’s semi-abstract approach, merging cultural symbolism with avant-garde color theory. Created during the influential WPA era, this work reflects the intersection of Native American themes with early 20th-century American modernism. Signed in pencil by Hiler in the lower right margin and titled on the verso, this serigraph is an exceptional and rare example of his modernist printmaking. The composition’s vivid palette, geometric stylization, and rhythmic forms make it both visually compelling and historically significant. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Hiler studied at the University of Paris and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, immersing himself in the European avant-garde before returning to the U.S. in 1934. He contributed murals to the WPA Aquatic Park...
