Brad Kahlhamer 9 Hail Chanters Signed and titled on the reverse Oil on paper 21 x 28 inches Brad Kahlhamer is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, drawing, sculpture, performance, and music, often centered around what he describes as the “third place”—a conceptual and emotional space where contrasting personal histories converge. Working through a neo-expressionist visual language, Kahlhamer combines references to twentieth-century abstraction, particularly German Expressionism, with a deeply personal symbolic vocabulary shaped by questions of identity, displacement, and cultural memory.

His work draws equally from Native American ledger...

This work epitomizes Prestopino's interest in social realism which captures a quiet interlude in the everyday life of an "everyman." It also provides a contrast for our expectations as we view a tough, blue collar worker, with no one watching, as he sings a melody to the birds. In an original frame measuring 49" x 39" x 3.25" Provenance: Edith Halpert's Downtown Gallery (label verso from 13 w. 113th street, where the gallery was located from 1926 until 1939) Private collection, NYC, c. 1935 By descent About this artist: Born in Little Italy in 1907, Gregorio Prestopino first set out to become a sign painter as the son of New York City immigrants. Instead, his talent provided a life-changing scholarship to the National Academy of Design, and for five years he studied drawing under C. W. Hawthorne. He spent the summer of 1934 at the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, New Hampshire. His deep involvement with the colony led him to later serve as its director in 1954. Much of Prestopino’s work was in the vein of social realism. During the 1940s and 1950s he became deeply invested in portraying everyday Manhattan and Harlem scenes. He first became interested in the Ashcan school at the National Academy of Design, and remained committed to an interest in working with urban scenes. His lively treatment of people and events revealed his affinity for sixteenth-century artist Pieter Breughel...
