Robert Natkin

American, 1930-2010
Robert Natkin was born in Chicago on November 7, 1930 into a large family of Russian Jewish immigrants. In 1945 the family moved to Tennessee though soon returned to Chicago where Natkin would attend the Art Institute of Chicago (1948-1952). The museum’s collection of Post-Impressionist paintings, especially those of Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse and the whimsical abstractions of Paul Klee, were significant influences on the young artist. Natkin’s influences outside the art world included frequent trips to the Field Museum of Natural History where he was exposed to stylized Native American and Peruvian textiles. Introduced to Abstract-Expressionism in New York in 1952, Natkin was especially drawn to the works of Willem de Kooning who’s agitated marks he began to emulate though after returning to Chicago in 1953 he abandoned ties to action painting and began to form what would become his familiar color field abstraction motif. In 1957 Natkin, now married to fellow artist Judith Dolnick, opened the Wells Street Gallery which showed the works of like-minded Chicago artists including sculptor John Chamberlain and photographer Aaron Siskind as well as New York artists they admired. Due to limited patronage however this was a short-lived venture and, seeking greater opportunities, the couple moved to New York in 1959. Natkin continued to develop bold bright fields of color and texture in his paintings finding success among the Poindexter Galleries stable of up-and-coming artists. Immersed in New York’s dynamic art scene through the 1960s and 70s, Natkin continued to evolve his style through his Apollo series, Field Mouse series, and Intimate Lighting series which includes Remembrance is the Secret of Redemption, Forgetfulness Leads to Exile. Other series followed in a long and successful career. Natkin died in Danbury, Connecticut, on April 20, 2010. Robert Natkin has been the subject of numerous one-man exhibitions and has been included in many more group exhibitions. His work is in the permanent collections of dozens of national and international museums including New York’s Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Australia, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Additionally Natkin’s colossal 20 x 42 foot mural, executed in 1992, can be seen in the lobby of New York’s Rockefeller Center.

Located in Brooklyn, NY

Paint on found wooden frame by New York City picking and art legend, Robert Loughlin. Featured in Patrick Parrish Gallery's “Robert Loughlin: 1998-2011” exhibition in 2021. ROBERT LOUGHLIN (1949 - 2011) may have been one of the most elusive artists in New York, but his work was everywhere. You might have noticed his signature graffiti of a square-jawed man, The Brute, randomly appearing on doors, signs, and walls all over the city. Like his fellow graffiti artists who emerged during the 1980s, such as Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Kenning Scharf, Loughlin has now become a collectible name. Once considered outsiders to the mainstream art world, graffiti artists now command top dollar for their work and are shown in museums all over the world. When he wasn't making his mark on the city streets, Robert Loughlin still incorporated a similar grittiness into his art. He would ransack antique stores, thrift shops, flea markets, galleries, and estate sales and emerge with treasures that he would use as his canvas. Nothing was sacred...

Monumental Robert Flynn Graphite + Charcoal Drawing Signed Framed St Augustine 3
Monumental Robert Flynn Graphite + Charcoal Drawing Signed Framed St Augustine 3

Monumental Robert Flynn Graphite + Charcoal Drawing Signed Framed St Augustine 3

By Peter Milton 1, Karl Blossfeldt, Joseph Cornell, Franz Kline, Robert Rauschenberg

Located in Round Top, TX

Monumentally Scaled Mixed Media Original Drawing in Graphite and Charcoal by Robert Flynn (1967-2007). This piece is titled "St. Augustine #3", retains the original artist's tag en verso, and is signed and dated across the bottom of the work. This is one of Mr. Flynn's last pieces of art, created in 2005, before his untimely passing two years later. Robert Flynn received his MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ and his BFA from Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL. Flynn's work was exhibited in several group and solo shows across the country since the early 1990s. Flynn's late work was heavily influenced by gardening, yard work and the competition in American culture for the "trophy lawn." Creating sculpture, drawings and paintings that celebrated the various elements of the yard, Flynn objectified nature – making the backyard a modern day fetish. Flynn's work can be found in collections across the country, such as Bascom Palmer Eye Institute; University of Miami, Naples, FL; Cisneros Capital Group, Miami, FL; Hale & Dorr LLP, Boston, MA; Key Largo Grand Resort; Marriott Corporate Collection; Neiman Marcus Corporate Collection; Miami Dade Public Library; Omni Hotel, Orlando; Woodson Art Museum, Wausau, WI. awards 2006/97 Artist Fellowship: Florida Individual Artist Award 2000 Tigertail Artist Award Chestler Contemporary Visual Artist Award / Dade Community Foundation 1996 Artist Fellowship: National Endowment for the Arts / Southern Arts Federation one person exhibitions 2007 Koelsch Gallery, Houston, TX 2006 Verdure, Walker Fine Art, Denver, CO Special Summer Time Offer, Kenise Barnes Fine Art, Larchmont, NY Lot Lines, CRC Gallery, Miami, FL 2005 Garden Variety, Barbara Gillman Gallery, Miami, FL 2003 Elements: Selections from 1992-2002, CRC Gallery, Miami, FL 2002 Spiller Vincenty Gallery, Jacksonville, FL 2001 Rice Polak Gallery, Provincetown, MA Peep, Wolfsonian Museum, Miami Beach, FL 2000 Wallpaper, Miami International Airport, Florida-Brazil Festival 1998 Marked, The Chocolate Factory, London, UK 1997 New Works, Cindric Meyer Gallery, Boca Raton, FL 1996 Fancy, Art 800, Miami Beach, FL New Works, Alliance Gallery, Miami Beach, FL 1994 621 Gallery, Tallahassee, FL selected group exhibitions 2006 Au Courant, Bentley Projects, Phoenix, AZ Images on the Edge; Interpreting the American Coastline, Florida Gulf Coast University, Ft Myers, FL Home and Garden, Lisa Coscino Gallery, Monterrey, CA 2005 All-Terrain, Average Industries, Miami, FL A New View, Julie Baker...
