About the Item

Construction Assemblage of mat board or Bristol board. titled Geo 1 and signed and dated verso. Lawrence Saul Heller, (Larry Heller) (American, born 1965) Born Great Neck, NY Kent State University School of Architecture Kent, OH Practicing Architect & Artist New York, NY Exhibitions: 1999 Constructions, Johnson & Johnson World Headquarters New Brunswick, NJ 1999 Recent Work, New York Public Library New York, NY 1998 Constructed Rhythm, Merrill Lynch Corporate Headquarters Princeton, NJ 1998 Architectural Art, Greater Hartford Jewish Community Center West Hartford, CT 1997 New Talent, Elaine Benson Gallery Bridgehampton, NY 1997 Art by Architects, Bristol Myers Squibb Gallery Princeton, NJ 1997 Artistic License, Nabisco World Headquarters East Hanover, NJ 1997 Juried Exhibition, Palm Springs Desert Museum Palm Springs, CA 1997 National Exhibitions of Small Works, Montclair State University Montclair, NJ 1997 Recent Work, Prudential Insurance Company Headquarters Newark, NJ 1996The Altered Image, Islip Art Museum West Islip, NJ 1996Allied Arts #68, National Arts Club New York, NY 1996Recent Work, Fairleigh Dickinson University Hackensack, NJ 1995Recent Work, Harbor Cove Art Gallery Sag Habor, NY His three dimensional constructions recall Louise Nevelson's sculptures but also the architectons of Kasimir Malevich and the wall reliefs of his suprematist colleague El Lissitski. (This one recalls Piet Mondrian) They are wall hanging pieces, but they breakout of the plane of the wall into the space of the viewer in reversals of perspective...projecting rather then receding in a narrative of spatial depth. With the kaleidoscopic intricacy of Islamic decorative patterning, the constructions engage the mind by captivating the eye: the modernist vocabulary of circles, triangles, squares and lines leads above beyond and through itself in a layered spatial tapestry. (Joseph Giovannini) Thirteen New Jersey architects, most of them based in Princeton, are represented in ''Art by Architects,'' a motley but enlightening exhibition at the Gallery at Bristol-Myers Squibb. Michael Graves, the best-known architect in the show, concocts fanciful Minimalist monuments in drawings called ''Archaic Landscapes,'' but he also shows ''Tuscan Landscapes,'' based more on observation than on imagination. Jeremiah Ford paints landscapes in a fresh, painterly style that resembles Fairfield Porter's.Ford has also painted a lighthouse worthy of Edward Hopper, possessing an especially intense gleam, Lawrence S. Heller makes relief constructions out of pieces of mat board. ''Kid's Room'' is especially busy, and ''Oreo'' is an amalgam of black-and-white circles.

    Located in Surfside, FL
    Andisheh Avini Iranian-American (b. 1974) Untitled III (2007) Collage of Arabic or Persian Islamic calligraphic script texts. Artist shaped frame Signature stamp and I-20 (New York) gallery label verso Image: 25.25" H x 18.5" W; frame: 27.5" H x 21" W x 1.5" D. Andisheh Avini was born in 1974 in New York. Educated at Hunter College in New York, he has shown consistently in solo and group exhibitions since 2002, including locations in New York, Berlin, Los Angeles, Basel, Madrid and Paris. He currently lives and works in New York. Through his abstract paintings, drawings and sculptures he finds the sweet spot where minimalism, Pop Art, and the political collide. Andisheh Avini is known for his patterned silkscreen painting created on carpet and wood, which are informed by the history and culture of Iran. Avini frequently takes familiar political images and recontextualizes them, prompting the viewer to consider Middle Eastern politics from another perspective. Blending the visual vocabulary of his Iranian heritage with aesthetic and material experimentation, Avini’s work offers a meditation on the experiences and memories that shape our identities. He has used a variety of exotic materials including marquetry or Khatam – a traditional Iranian craft of inlaid wood, crystalline protrusions of actual minerals, peacock feathers, mother-of-pearl and parchment often in abstract geometric compositions, mediums associated with traditional Persian craft— with nods towards Minimalism, Abstract Expressionism, and other Western art movements. He has shown in many prominent galleries including solo exhibitions at Marianne Boesky Gallery (New York), Galerie Frank...

    Forrest Myers Untitled geometric abstraction, 1976 Painted aluminum Signed in the metal with the artist's incised initials (FM) and stamp numbered 52/75; bears Treitel-Gratz foundry mark 15 × 13 1/2 × 6 in Unframed This painted aluminum sculpture was made by the American artist Forrest Myers. Myers is known for creating artworks that hold their own space; they maintain their presence through his manipulation of each chosen material's inherent properties. Numbered 52/75 Foundry: Treitel-Gratz, NY Forrest Myers Biography: An artist who greatly expanded the functional vocabulary of sculpture, Myer’s work is foremost, the result of his empirical explorations in materiality. For 40 years, he has been experimenting with the inherent properties of metal. The show will not only present his early dynamic pipe sculpture, his more austere flattened pieces made of oxidized steel plates, and his early woven wire “chairs” but will show for the first time, his most recent body of work including Parker and Vesuvio. The contemporary works, sculpted and intricately worked, are his most brilliantly complex to date. Myers most popularly known work The Wall (1973) at the corner of Broadway and Houston is currently under reinstallation (it was disassembled in 1997 to utilize the wall for income-generating advertisements). Often called the “Gateway to Soho,” this long embattled sculpture—a vibrant relief commissioned to disguise steel joists jutting from the brick wall of a building at this intersection). It will now regain its place as the New York’s largest public sculpture. Born in Hawaii (b.1941) and raised in California, Myers moved east in 1961 and quickly became part of New York’s vibrant artistic community. He was a founding member of the Park Place Gallery, where he exhibited large-scale sculptures with colleagues Mark di Suvero and Robert Grosvenor...

    My training was at (RISD) the Rhode Island School of Design, BFA, followed by the Yale University School of Art & Architecture, MFA. I am Emeritus Professor of Art, Georgetown University, where I taught Sculpture and Foundation Design in the Art & Art History Department. My sculptures are constructivist, mostly of steel and wood. I admire and share the sensibilities of many modern masters: Noguchi for purity of form and sensual materials, Giacometti for mystery and monumentality, and David Smith for toughness. I’ve exhibited my work in museums including: the Phillips Collection and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC, the Albright-Knox Museum, Buffalo, NY, and recently The San Luis Obispo Museum Of Art. I’ve had solo exhibitions at the Huntington Museum, Huntington, WV, and the Southeast Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA) in Winston Salem...
