About the Item
Margaret Reventlow, American born London, 1915 - 2014, "Ten Fathoms Deep", (swimming fish) bronze with green and red slag glass, unsigned, with artist name, title, etc on a label on its swivel base.
Provenance: From the Estate of Countess Margaret Peggy Reventlow, Philanthropist and Artist, Direct Descendent of John Jacob Astor, then to the Oliver Wolcott Library. Reventlow's first exhibition was at the Palm Beach Gallery and she went on to shows in New York, London, Connecticut and Nantucket.
MARGARET PEGGY REVENTLOW (Margaret Astor Drayton)
American, 1915-2014
Peggy was born in London, England on December 20th, 1915. Her father, William Astor Drayton, was a great grandson of John Jacob Astor. In 1942, Peggy became Countess Margaret Reventlow when she married Danish Count Court Haugwitz-Hardenberg Reventlow.
Rentlow studied at Le Cours Maintnon in Paris and at Le College Feminin de Bouffemont. She studied sculpture with Oliver Barret and Felix de Weldon. She attended the Art Students League for six years, studying with Leo Manso and Bruce Dorfman. The resulting abstract paintings are rich and colorful, done in both acrylics and oils. “My paintings are all about movement and color and composition,” she said. “You have to work that way with abstract art.
Reventlow’s first solo New York exhibition took place at Hammer Galleries in 1961 and she exhibited there until 1968. In 1964 she had a solo exhibition at Tiffany and Co. Her work has been presented at the Palm Beach Galleries and at The Alwin Gallery in London as well as in Litchfield, Connecticut; Nantucket; Norfolk, Connecticut and elsewhere.
Her sculptures and paintings reflect her lifelong love of the outdoors and sports. Writing in Arts Magazine, critic William D. Allen remarked on the vibrant character of her work which he compared to that of the noted German Expressionist sculptors Ernst Barlach and Wilhelm Lehmbruck. Countess Reventlow was represented in New York by Viridian Artists.

Abstract Expressionist Biomorphic Welded Metal Sculpture
By Seymour Lipton
Located in Surfside, FL
Welded, brazed sculpture on wooden base
This is not signed or dated
This work is unsigned. We were told it was the work of Seymour Lipton but as there is further documentation we are selling it as attributed and cannot guarantee it as such.
Seymour Lipton (1903 – 1986) was an American abstract expressionist sculptor. He was a member of the New York School who gained widespread recognition in the 1950s. He initially trained as a dentist, like fellow sculptor Herbert Ferber, receiving his degree from Columbia University in 1927. In the late 1920s, he began to explore sculpture, creating clay portraits of family members and friends. His early choices of medium changed from wood to lead and then to bronze, and he is best known for his work in metal. Like his contemporary, Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock, and Arshile Gorky Lipton was influenced by Carl Jung’s work on the unconscious mind and the regenerative forces of nature. He translated these two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional maquettes that enabled him to revise his ideas before creating the final sculpture. The forms that Lipton produced during this period were often zoomorphic, exemplifying the tension between the souls of nature and the automatism of the machine. He made several technical innovations, including brazing nickel silver rods onto sheets of Monel to create rust resistant forms. Seymour Lipton is best known for his textured torch welded metal sculptures...

Neo-Dada Abstract Sculpture: Assemblages
Abstract sculpture followed a slightly different course. Rather than focusing on non-figurative subject matter, it concentrated on materials, hence the emergence of Assemblage Art - a form of three-dimensional visual art made from everyday objects, said to be 'found' by the artist (objets trouves). Popular in the 1950s and 1960s in America, assemblage effectively bridged the gap between collage and sculpture, while its use of non-art materials - a feature of Neo-Dada art - anticipated the use of mass-produced objects in Pop-Art. Assemblage sculpture is exemplified by the works of Louise Nevelson (1899-1988), such as Mirror Image 1 (1969, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston), and by Jean Dubuffet (1901-85) and his Monument with Standing Beast (1960, James R. Thompson Center, Chicago). The idiom was considerably boosted by an important exhibition - "The Art of Assemblage" - at the Museum of Modern Art, in New York, in 1961.
