Consigned to the gallery, Pasadena, California; From a private collector, Encino, California, by descent; Acquired in 1997 by a private collector, Palo Alto, California; From Sean's Antiques, San Francisco, California. Signed "L.P. Latimer" on lower right Description This intimate watercolor captures Fallen Leaf Lake, a serene alpine lake in El Dorado County, California, situated just south of Lake Tahoe—an area celebrated each autumn for the Kokanee Salmon trail runs. Latimer invites the viewer onto a rocky slope, framed by stately evergreens, guiding the gaze across the lake’s glassy blue surface toward the snow-capped Sierra Nevada peaks beyond. His delicate washes and masterful color transitions—pale rose and gold in the drifting clouds, soft greens in the foliage, and muted blue-grays in the distant mountains—reflect his refined command of the watercolor medium. The composition conveys the quietude of early morning or late afternoon light in the high country, capturing a timeless sense of place that has long inspired artists of the Lake Tahoe region. Historical Significance Lorenzo Palmer Latimer (1857–1941) was a foundational figure in early 20th-century California plein air painting, especially known for his evocative watercolors of Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada, and Northern California landscapes. He taught at the San Francisco Mechanics’ Institute and later founded the Latimer Art Club in Reno (1921), shaping an entire generation of regional artists. His deep connection to Fallen Leaf Lake is well-documented—he first painted there in 1914 and led annual summer workshops at the site, drawn by its pristine beauty and the opportunity to work directly from nature. Today, Latimer’s mastery is celebrated in the beautifully illustrated book The Latimer School: Lorenzo Latimer...

In 1960 photographer and designer Herbert Matter made his first visit to Alberto Giacometti's Paris studio and began to create a body of photographs of the renowned artist's work and milieu that both men hoped to see published in book form. Giacometti was astounded by the photographs and told Matter that they enabled him to see his own work in a new light, that they illuminated aspects of his sculptures that he himself had never recognized. In a letter to the photographer, he described the photographs as "each one...a creation in itself, one more beautiful than another." Making these photographs occupied Matter for the next five years; the design of the book and preparations for its publication continued until his death in 1984. Now, more than twenty years after he began, the results of Matter's efforts are finally gathered in this volume. Reproduced here are many of Giacometti's finest works—from the monumental Standing Woman of 1984, to numerous busts of his brother Diego of the 1950s, to the powerful late busts of the 1960s—all sensitively interpreted through Matter's lens. Giacometti's painted portraits of many of the same subjects as the sculptures—his wife, Annette; Diego; the professor Isaku Yanaihara—are an instructive addition to the book. And images of the artist's homeland, the mountainous landscape around Stampa, Switzerland, and his cluttered studio in Paris, filled with objects in various states of completion, add yet another dimension to this study of his art. Complementing the photographs are a preface by Matter himself; brief perceptive texts by art critics Andrew Forge...

Andy's Magnificent Seven A unique reissue of Warhol's classic 1950s illustrated books In 1950s New York, before he became one of the most famous names of the 20th century, Andy Warhol was already a skilled and successful commercial artist. During this time, as part of his strategy to woo clients and forge friendships, he created seven handmade artist's books, reserved to his most valued contacts. These featured personal, unique drawings and quirky texts revealing his fondness for--among other subjects--cats, food, myths, shoes, beautiful boys, and gorgeous girls. Decades later, with originals now changing hands for thousands of dollars at auction, TASCHEN presents an immaculate portfolio of these seven books, five of which have never before been republished, beautifully packaged together for the very first time and replicating Warhol's originals as closely as possible down to the format, dimensions, and paper stock. With titles such as Love Is a Pink Cake , 25 Cats Named Sam, and la Recherche du Shoe Perdu , the series reveals the artist's off-the-wall character as well as his accomplished draftsmanship, boundless creativity, and innuendo-laced humor. The seven books make delightful play with styles and genres as much as with design, materials, and formats. The lithograph portfolio A Is for Alphabet devotes a page to each letter of the alphabet, with illustrations complemented by stumbling three-line verses that tell of strange encounters between man and animal. In the Bottom of My Garden is at once a Warhol twist on a children's book and a covert celebration of gay love...
