Lawrence Saul Heller
Geometric Abstract Painted Wall Hanging Constructivist Architectural Sculpture

1996

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.

  • Russian Samizdat Art Conceptual Photo Sculpture Assemblage Gerlovin & Gerlovina
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Rimma Gerlovina and Valeriy Gerlovin Clock, 1987-94 Aluminum sculpture, mixed media and c-print photograph construction, c-print, felt tip marker 13 h × 13 w × 4 d in (30 × 30 × 6 cm) Rimma Gerlovina and Valeriy Gerlovin were founding members of the underground conceptual movement Samizdat in the Soviet Union, described in their book Russian Samizdat Art. Based on a play of paradoxes, their work is rich with philosophic and mythological implications, reflected in their writing as well. Their book Concepts was published in Russia in 2012. The work by Rimma Gerlovina and Valeriy Gerlovin is emphatically contemporary. The artist couple were part of the Moscow Conceptualists, their performance Costumes, from 1977, deepened their ongoing work with linguistic semiotic systems and their own bodies. Considering the context in which Gerlovina and Gerlovin made their work—that of political restrictions on public life, of unfreedom, and censorship—their collaborative togetherness must also be read as a space of possibility for political community and resistance. Rimma Gerlovina’s hair is featured prominently in the art of the Gerlovins as a constructing element of the body. Used for the linear drawings her braids transmit transpersonal waves reminiscent of an aura of live filaments. Long loose hairs function as threads of life; streaming in abundance, they allude to Aphrodisiac vitality and Samsonian strength. On the other hand, they are the haircloth worn during mourning and penitence. In New York they continued to make sculptural objects, and their photographic projects grew into an extended series called Photoglyphs. In their photographs, they use their own faces to explore the nature of thought and what lies beyond it. Since coming to the United States in 1980, they had many exhibitions in galleries and museums including the Art Institute of Chicago. The New Orleans Museum of Art launched a retrospective of their photography, which traveled to fifteen cities. Group exhibitions include the Venice Biennale, the Guggenheim Museum, New York, Smithsonian National Museum of American Art, Washington D.C., Bonn Kunsthalle, Germany, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, and others. Samizdat or “self-published” began in the Soviet Union, and Samizdat art consists mainly of books and magazines published and distributed by the artists who made them. Samizdat art has sources in the innovative books and magazines turned out by the early 20th century Russian avant-garde—artists and writers like Olga Rozanova, Vladimir Mayakovsky, El Lissitzky, and Alexander Rodchenko. Artists as varied as Alexander Archipenko, Leon Bakst, Marc Chagall, Naum Gabo, Alexandra Exter...
