Ray Fink'Abstract, Coral and Blue', Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois Design Institute
About the Item
Signed lower right, 'Fink' for Ray Fink (American, 1922-1998) and painted circa 1985.
A substantial oil by this well-listed American Abstractionist who studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and exhibited with Harry Bertoia and Alexander Calder.
After serving in the Navy and Army Air Corps during World War II, Ray Fink settled in Chicago, earning degrees from both the Art Institute of Chicago and the Illinois Institute of Design. During this early period, he also exhibited widely and with success alongside many influential 20th century artists including Harry Bertoia and Alexander Calder. In the mid-1950s, he co-founded the Contemporary Art Workshop, dubbed the "Monster Roster", whose members injected passion, emotion and meaning- much of it employing grim war images, into their artwork. The group expressed an emotive reaction to the dominant abstractionism of the New York School. To exhibit this work, Fink and fellow-painter John Kearney opened a countercultural art space in Chicago called the Contemporary Art Gallery. In 1958, Fink was appointed Dean of the Art Department at Arizona State University and moved to Tempe where he continued to paint, sculpt and exhibit into his seventies.

- 'Abstract Landscape, Chestnut and Coral', Venice Biennale, Michetti Prize WinnerBy Gianni PisaniLocated in Santa Cruz, CASigned lower right 'G. Pisani', (Italian, born 1935), titled verso 'Paesaggio con Valigia' (Landscape with Luggage) and dated 1963. Provenance: Galleria El Centro, Naples, Italy 1963. (from original label, copied verso). A very substantial, mid-century abstracted landscape comprising an assembled group of Fendi shopping bags in the fashion designer's signature tones of cream, bistre and scarlet, shown contrasted against a lyrical, sunset-coral background. This powerful and lyrical oil was awarded the 1963 Michetti Painting Prize. Gianni Pisani studied at the Accademia de Bella Arti in Naples under Emilio Notte. Much of his career in the 1960s and 70s involved reinvigorating the Neapolitan art scene with assemblages, ‘object art’ and performance art, an approach that was critically described and acclaimed by poet and writer, Edoardo Sanguineti. The recipient of numerous medals, prizes and juried awards, including the Prize City Cesenatico (1955). Pisani exhibited widely and with success from the early 1950's including at the 8th Biennale of San Benedetto del Tronto (1969), Palazzo Dugnani (1983) and at the Non-Existent Gallery. Other solo and group exhibitions include a three-time participation in the National Quadrennial Art Shows (VIII, Rome, 1960; IX, Palazzo dei Esposizione, 1965/66; XI, Palazzo dei Congressi, 1986) and the 1995 Venice Biennale. An ardent exponent, and influential teacher, of Modernism, Pisani taught at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera in Milan and, for many years, at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, of which he was later appointed director. Gianni Pisani’s works are held in the permanent collections of numerous museums including the Museum of Capodimonte, the Museum of Contemporary Art Donna Regina (MADRE), Museum of Contemporary Religious Art...Category
