About the Item
Nicolas Party (b. 1980) is a critically acclaimed Swiss artist best known for his distinct brand of stylized fantasy figuration. One of the most successful and youngest artists in the global art market, his auction record stands at $6.7 million achieved in 2022.
Depicting a range of subject matter from lush landscapes to stoic portraits, Party creates a celestial wonderland marked by confident compositions and his signature graphic style.
The full moon is a recurring motif throughout Party's oeuvre, enhancing the dreamlike quality of his otherworldly landscapes.
In this piece, soaring cypress trees stretch toward the moon, their grounded forms interconnected with the sky above. Despite the dark and infinite expanse, there is a palpable and boundless tie between the earth and the cosmos, rendered with incredible dynamism and a strong sense of wonder.
Today, Party's work is enjoyed in public collections across the globe including LACMA (Los Angeles), Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris), and the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium (Brussels), to name a few.

Nicolas Party
Nicolas Party (born July 1, 1980, in Lausanne, Switzerland) is a Swiss visual artist. He lives and works in New York City and Brussels. He is known for his multi-media interdisciplinary immersive exhibitions. He received his BFA degree from the Lausanne School of Art in 2004 and his MFA from the Glasgow School of Art, in Glasgow, Scotland in 2009. Party's work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal, the Magritte Museum in Brussels, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Hirshhorn Museum. For his second exhibition at the Hirshorn Museum which ran from September 18, 2021 until the spring of 2022 he created his largest work to date Draw the Curtain, it "wraps 360 degrees around the temporary scaffolding that encases the Museum building and spans a circumference of 829 feet". It is an "original pastel painting digitally collaged and printed onto scrim". Party’s exhibition "When Tomorrow Comes" at the Museum Frieder Burda is the Swiss artist’s first museum presentation in Germany. Party' primary medium of choice is pastel. Party is represented by Hauser & Wirth, The Modern Institute, Kaufmann Repetto, Gregor Staiger, Karma and Xavier Hufkens. In February 2020 he had his first solo exhibition, "Scottsboro" with Hauser & Wirth at their Los Angeles, California venue. Among the artists Party cites as having influenced his painting are Rosalba Carriera, Félix Vallotton, Milton Avery, Pablo Picasso, and Giorgio Morandi. Party's landscapes often draw from or even directly cite styles and motifs from a diverse set of contemporary painters and painters of previous generations, including Salvo, a similarity picked up at a number of exhibitions.

Carol Summers (1925-2016) has worked as an artist throughout the second half of the 20th century and into the first years of the next, outliving most of his mid-century modernist peers. Initially trained as a painter, Summers was drawn to color woodcuts around 1950 and it became his specialty thereafter. Over the years he has developed a process and style that is both innovative and readily recognizable. His art is known for it’s large scale, saturated fields of bold color, semi-abstract treatment of landscapes from around the world and a luminescent quality achieved through a printmaking process he invented.
In a career that has extended over half a century, Summers has hand-pulled approximately 245 woodcuts in editions that have typically run from 25 to 100 in number. His talent was both inherited and learned. Born in 1925 in Kingston, a small town in upstate New York, Summers was raised in nearby Woodstock with his older sister, Mary. His parents were both artists who had met in art school in St. Louis. During the Great Depression, when Carol was growing up, his father supported the family as a medical illustrator until he could return to painting. His mother was a watercolorist and also quite knowledgeable about the different kinds of papers used for various kinds of painting. Many years later, Summers would paint or print on thinly textured paper originally collected by his mother.
From 1948 to 1951, Carol Summers trained in the classical fine and studio arts at Bard College and at the Art Students League of New York. He studied painting with Steven Hirsh and printmaking with Louis Schanker. He admired the shapes and colors favored by early modernists Paul Klee (Sw: 1879-1940) and Matt Phillips (Am: b.1927- ). After graduating, Summers quit working as a part-time carpenter and cabinetmaker (which had supported his schooling and living expenses) to focus fulltime on art. That same year, an early abstract, Bridge No. 1 was selected for a Purchase Prize in a competition sponsored by the Brooklyn Museum.
In 1952, his work (Cathedral, Construction and Icarus) was shown the first time at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in an exhibition of American woodcuts...
