Asger Jorn
Untitled (FULL) 154b

1964

About the Item

"Untitled (FULL) 154b" is an oil on canvas work by Asger Jorn. The piece is signed in the lower right, "Jorn 64". The size is 31 3/4 x 25 1/4 inches. The framed size is 36 3/4 x 30 1/4 x 1 1/2 inches. Asger Jorn is known for his pivotal role in developing the movement Situationist International. After joining a communist resistance movement in Paris during World War II, Jorn played an integral part in starting several movements that combined aspects of Marxism with artistic expressionism. These movements include COBRA, the International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus, and Second Situationist International. Asger’s artworks usually included frantic, jagged lines, creating abstract figures. Instead, this painting features a mixture of colors on the canvas, melting into one another, almost appearing as if they have soaked into the canvas. This method allows the paint to form organic shapes within the composition, creating an abstract scene and allowing Asger’s use of color to shine. Through his use of browns and blacks within the painting, Asger enables a sense of anxiety to hang around the canvas. Jorn was an active artist across all mediums, including painting, sculpture, ceramic, and collage. He is the permanent collection of 10 major institutions, including Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Centre Pompidou, Tate, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., Louisiana Museum of Art, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Museo Reina Sofia, Moderna Museet, and Stockholm. In 1964, he was awarded but turned down, the Guggenheim Award. Provenance: (Possibly) Lefebre Gallery, New York Private Collection, New York, c. 1965 Private Collection, by decent from above Private Collection, Florida Literature: To be included in the forthcoming supplement to the Asger Jorn Catalogue Raisonne under number 154b.

  • Patriots Throne
    By Larry Bell
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    "Patriots Throne" is a painting by Larry Bell. The painting is signed verso, "L Bell '89". Throughout his career Larry Bell has made investigations into the properties of light on surface. By experimenting with the nature of surface and its relationship to space, Bell has devised a methodology characterised by spontaneity, intuition and improvisation. Bell began his career in 1959 and his earliest works consisted of abstract, monochrome paintings on paper and shaped canvases whose outlines corresponded to the silhouette of a box drawn in isometric projection. Panes of glass and then mirrors were substituted for parts of the painted design and this exploration of spatial ambiguity eventually evolved into sculptural constructions made of wood and glass. These works represent the genesis of Bell’s later...

  • Crazy Golden
    By Petra Rös-Nickel
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Petra Rös-Nickel’s original paintings merge playful forms, bright colors, and architectural compositions in oil and mixed media on canvas. Her contemporary artworks contain rich textures and patterns, referencing popular European textile designs of the fifties and sixties. Rös-Nickel’s work translates the geometric and organic elements of an era that hoisted the flags of modernism and which, due to a trend to return to a rather retro style, has become topical once more. This 63-inch high by 10-inch wide contemporary oil painting is wired and ready to hang. This artwork is double wired and may be installed vertically or horizontally. The sides of this artwork are painted gold and it does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable U.S. and global shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Petra was born 1963 in Wathlingen near Celle, Germany, and breaks completely new ground with her abstract forms of painting and expression. After studying fashion design at the professional school for clothing in Bremen, 1980, Petra Rös-Nickel changed her field of study to architecture in Eckernförde, 1982. She now lives in Hamburg, Germany. Preferring the creative aspects of the studies to the technical ones, the artist developed the basics of her painting, never denying the roots of applied design and soon ending in a refreshing, distinctive style. Petra Rös-Nickel experiments with form, along with the use of a technique that draws attention to the processes used in creating a painting. Essential is the color space presented in multiple layers that offers the beholder access to more profound color planes. These details, scratchings, and rubbings lead to various elements of tension, such as “patchwork” or harmonious-contemplative forms (“windows”) and “oscillating lines”. Rös-Nickel's modernist paintings develop an energetic impact on the space they‘re displayed in, conveying her joy of life and self-confidence. Her abstract geometric textured artworks have been exhibited and collected worldwide, including Germany, Belgium, USA, Canada, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Notable collectors include Chris Rock...
