Mirko Basaldella Art

Mirko Basaldella was born in Udine, Italy, in September of 1910 and died in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in November of 1969. He studied at the Art School of Venice, at the Academy of Florence, and at the School of Art in Monza. He worked at the studio of Arturo Martini and as a student until 1933, when he moved to Rome. Basaldella's first exhibition was in 1935 at the Galleria La Cometa. His trip to Paris in 1937 with his brother, Afro, was a huge influence on his art and opened up a whole new view of Mediterranean culture. In 1935 he settled in Rome and joined the Milanese group of Corrente. 

In New York, at the Knoedler gallery in 1947, Basaldella held an exhibition that he would repeat in the following two years. In 1949 and in 1951, he constructed three bronze gates for the Fosse Ardeatine. In 1957, he was called to direct the design workshop at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Afterward, his sculptures shifted toward a technological and mechanical direction. In the 1960s, Basaldella dedicated himself to a new series of painted woods and bronze. Lastly, he worked on figurative themes inspired by Biblical stories.

Robert Kelly Kalasa V Signed Modern Abstract Aquatint Etching 5/50 Framed, 1985
By Robert Kelly
Located in Keego Harbor, MI
A bold and graphic modern aquatint etching in colors titled "Kalasa V" by Robert Kelly. Hand signed in pencil on the bottom right with an annotation of 5/50 on the bottom left. Published in 1985. Kelly's work intricately combines influences of the Bauhaus from Van Doesburg to Mondrian, with those of Schwitters and Klee, Kelly weds hints of the historical with the contemporary. His play of edges, angles, and cuts creates a tension and an intuitive logic to the placement of line and form. Kelly's work investigates the idea of doubleness through images that reflect, oppose, or mimic each other. Dimensions: 32"w x 1.5"d x 37"h (framed). In very good vintage condition. Robert Kelly (1956- ) paintings have been acquired by public and private collections in Europe and the United States, including The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Brooklyn Museum, New Mexico Museum of Art, Milwaukee Art Museum, Smith College Art Museum, Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, The Fogg Museum, The Margulies Collection, and the McNay Art Museum. Kelly has traveled throughout the United States, Europe, North Africa, the Near East, and Nepal. His work often incorporates unusual materials from his journeys, among them vintage posters and printed antique...
