Untitled
By Raymond Hendler
Located in Lawrence, NY
Estate of the artist
Exhibited: Berry Campbell Gallery
Includes documentation from the gallery
A first-generation action painter, Raymond Hendler started his career as an Abstract Expressionist in Paris as early as 1949. In the years that followed, he played a significant role in the movement, both in New York, where he was the youngest voting member of the New York Artist’s Club. Hendler became a friend of Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, and Harold Rosenberg in Philadelphia, where he ran an avant-garde gallery between 1952 and 1954.
Hendler differed from Rosenberg’s belief that American post-war painting should have a clear break from the past. His work often recalls the autonomism and nonobjectivism of his European predecessors. However, Stuart Preston noted in The New York Times that Hendler had a “totally different approach to nonobjectivism….He excels in bright hard explicit pattern-making, in straightforward parades of independent shapes, not unlike those in Matisse’s collages. There is something reminding of Leger here as well, particularly in the unambiguous glare of contrasted color and in the robust refusal to allow shapes to suggest anything beyond their merry self."
Raymond Hendler was born in Philadelphia in 1923. In 1949, he continued his art training in Paris at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière on the G.I. Bill. Immersing himself in the Left Bank art...

Armchair Wing Sleeping Walnut Upholstered Bargello Cresting Baroque H-Stretcher
Located in BUNGAY, SUFFOLK
A museum quality, late-17th century, walnut, upholstered sleeping armchair
• Exceptionally rare model; one of the first models of upholstered armchair with the addition of the wings intended to conceal draughts.
• Transitional form : many of the carved features are characteristic of Baroque furniture dating from 1680 and the incorporation of upholstery is influenced by the desire for comfort post restoration of Charles II introducing French fashions to the English court.
• Striking, statement piece. The cresting, “H” stretcher and scrollwork carving which features throughout the chair inject gravitas.
• Practical size and ergonomic comfortable design, suitable for regular use.
The original, carved, walnut cresting supported by a pair of dragons with scrollwork either side of a central stylised leaf spray. The shaped rectangular back with wings. The sweeping arms with carved scroll ends supported by tapering turned uprights emerging from blocks. The rectangular seat supported by double scroll carved and column turned legs joined by an ‘H’stretcher which mirrors the shape of the back in the centre with finial, column turned side and back stretcher and back legs. Exceptional original colour and patina. c.1690.
CONDITION : re-upholstered in a recreation of 17th century, Italian, bargello embroidery which is characteristic of the period. Tiny marks, wear and losses as expected throughout the armchair. The finial is a C19 or early C20 replacement. The stretcher has suffered from worm damage and there are replaced sections at either end of 1” and 1½ “ respectively, and an area to the left of the finial has been filled. This work was not done by me and has some age to it and the finial was probably replaced at the same time. The armchair is sturdy and suitable for regular use.

Lounge Chair by Janine Abraham & Dirk Jan Rol for Rougier, France, 1950s
By Janine Abraham and Dirk Jan Rol
Located in Utrecht, NL
This beautiful woven rattan chair combines Janine Abraham’s imagination with Dirk Jan Rol’s architectural construction skills.
From the circular woven center to the shell of the seat, the craft of the designer and manufacturer is outstanding. The basket seat is supported by a black lacquered metal frame. The geometric frame and legs show Rol’s background in architecture and add modernity to the organic material of the seat. This chair is equally eye-catching from up close and from a distance.
This mid-century model exemplifies why Abraham and Rol became successful, which was primarily thanks to their rattan and metal furniture. In 1958, the designer couple’s metal and rattan furniture won the second prize at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs and their "Soleil" armchair the gold medal at the World Exhibition in Brussels.
Condition:
In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with its age and use. Rattan overall has a beautiful patina. Some rattan varnish has come off, some discoloration. Two strings have possible been repaired in the past.
Dimensions:
?33.86 in W x 36.22 in D x 30.31 in H; seat height 14.96 in
86 cm W x 92 cm D x 77 cm H; seat height 38 cm
About the designer:
Janine Abraham (1929-2005) was a French designer. She trained at the École Camondo in Paris until 1952. Following her graduation, she became a pupil of Maxime Old and René-Jean Caillette. Dirk Jan Rol acquired training as a cabinetmaker in the Netherlands, his country of origin, then as an interior designer at the National School of Decorative Arts. They both worked in different workshops of architects and decorators after their studies.
In 1955, the two designers met at the studio of Jacques Dumond. The following year, in 1956, the pair showed their first collaborative work at the Salon des Artistes Decorateurs. The same year, the duo designed a range of rattan seats for the publisher Rougier.
Abraham and Rol launched their own agency in 1957, creating modernist furniture characterized by clean, elegant lines - notably the rattan and enamelled metal Lemon chair (1957), and the steel and black vinyl Sofa...
