Annie Morris, Untitled Peg Piece, 2010

About the Item

Using 1500 clothes pins to combine painting and sculpture to a dramatic affect is what artist Annie Morris is most famed for. Each peg is individually painted using watercolours to create the naked female form. Her work usually encompasses lots of smaller pieces that are art in their own right, but come together to make one large piece with an overwhelming satisfaction. A social commentary exploring the relationship between the individual and the influence they can have on their surroundings, Annie’s work provides a great sense of perspective. We are all different, but we are all relative to our surroundings. Contact us with any additional questions you may have Net price upon request. Provenance: Winston Wachter Gallery, Wells and Company Biography Annie Morris was born in 1978 in London, where she still lives and works. Between 1997 and 1998 she studied at Foundation, St. Martins College of Art and Design. In 1998 she started her experience at Giuseppe Penone’s Studio, and then attended the École des Beaux Arts in Paris. In the period between 2002 and 2003, she completed her academic career at London Slade School of Art. In 2000 she won the Homer Scholarship Award, and in 2002, she received an award for her drawing skills from the École des Beaux Arts. It was 2003 when Annie Morris came into the public eye for her collaboration with her longtime friend Sophie Dahl (granddaughter of the famous British children’s writer Roald Dahl) on the book Man with the Dancing Eyes. Morris has stated that she does not feel attached to a singular medium, and prefers to characterize her work as “usually made up of lots of smaller pieces that come together to make one big piece.” Among her best-known works are painting-sculptures comprised of individually painted wooden clothespins; in 2006, Burberry commissioned her to make a dress in the same format. In 2012, Morris and her husband, the artist Idris Kahn, collaborated on a project using Comme des Garçon wallets. Since 2004, her works have been displayed in several solo exhibitions: There Is A Land Called Loss, Pertwee Anderson and Gold Gallery, Londra, 2012; Annie Morris, Winston Wachter Gallery, New York , 2010; When A Happy Thing Falls, Allsopp Contemporary Gallery, Londra; When A Happy Thing Falls, Jeannie Frielich Contemporary, New York, 2007; Annie Morris, Lightbox Gallery, Los Angeles, 2006; Annie Morris: Glass Paintings, Postcards, Thomas Williams Gallery, Londra; Annie Morris, Laura Bartlett Gallery, Londra, 2005; Annie Morris (curated by Nick Hackworth), The Adams Street Club, Londra; The Man With The Dancing Eyes, Daniel Katz Gallery, 2004. Moreover, her artworks are already part of a certain number of international art collections such as: The Cranford Collection, Londra; The Colorado University Museum, Colorado; The Gersh Collection, Los Angeles; Nat Rothchild, New York; Maleki, Londra; Alexand Guy Delall, Londra; Lucy Liu, New York; Janger, Los Angeles; Victoria and Warren Miro, Londra; Maryam Eisler, Londra; Norman Rosenthal, Londra; Raqib Shaw, Londra. Annie is currently showing at Winston Watcher Gallery in NYC and the Project B Gallery in Milano. Many of her works have been installed in Peter Marino's renovation of the Louis Vuitton Place Venodome headquarters. Contact us with any additional questions you may have Net price upon request.

  • Mid Century Still Life by Joseph Mellor Hanson, 1956
    By Joseph Mellor Hanson

The frame's exterior : 31.50" H. by 36.50" W. Hanson was born in Yorkshire, England in 1900. He left England in 1925 for Paris where he studied with Fernand Leger and Andre Andre Lhote and worked with Le Corbusier. He returned to England after 8 years and became part of the circle of artists that formed around Henry Moore and Ben Nicholson. By 1938 he had a Studio in NYC until he joined the art faculty at Cornell University, where he taught until his death in 1963.

Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY Parrish Museum, Southampton, NY Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, OH Boca Museum of Art, Boca Raton, FL Over a lifespan of 86 years, Balcomb Greene followed his muse wherever it led, unfettered by what had come before, unafraid of where the future might lead. Despite a series of different pathways explored, his purpose remained ever constant: to express truth as he found it and communicate it to a broader audience. In the 1930s, Greene was a young artist committed to abstraction as his expressive language. Greene’s paintings and collages of the 1930s reflect the influence of Pablo Picasso and Piet Mondrian and put him in the company of fellow Americans, including Ibram Lassaw, Josef Albers, Ilya Boltowsky and George L. K. Morris, all among the founding members, in 1936, of American Abstract Artists. John Wesley Greene, his christened name which he never legally changed, was born in 1904 in Millville, New York, the third child and only son of Methodist minister The Reverend Bertram Stillman Greene (1864–1929) and Florence Stover Greene (1876–1911). His family on both sides were Revolutionary-era colonists, originally living in Connecticut and Vermont before joining the Yankee migration to the western frontier of New York State. In 1922, John Wesley Greene enrolled at Syracuse University aided by a scholarship for the sons of Methodist ministers and intending to fulfill the promise of his name and follow his father into the ministry. As with so many before and after him, the liberal education he absorbed at Syracuse broadened his horizons and reshaped his life plan. Studying philosophy, psychology, and literature, along the way he separated himself from organized religion. During his senior year, on a visit to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, Greene was introduced to Gertrude Glass (1904–1956), an art student and the Brooklyn-born daughter of Latvian Jewish immigrants. Following Greene’s graduation, the two married in 1926 and went to Europe. They stopped briefly in Paris but spent most of their time in Vienna where Greene had a fellowship to study psychology. When they returned to New York in 1927, Greene enrolled in a master’s program in ‘English literature at Columbia University. When his thesis advisor rejected his essay topic on the “fallen woman” in seventeenth-century literature as inappropriate, he left without a degree. From 1928 until 1931, Greene taught English at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. At some point, he stopped using his given name, John, and began to call himself, more distinctively, Balcomb, the family name of his paternal grandmother. While Greene wrote three novels (all unpublished) during his teaching years at Dartmouth, his wife was a working artist, and he eventually developed an interest of his own in painting. In 1931, Greene gave up his teaching position and he and Gertrude went to Paris, determined to immerse themselves in the modern art ferment they had briefly experienced in their earlier visit. For young Americans with no prescribed agenda, a receptiveness to innovation, and wide-open eyes and minds. Paris, in 1931, offered a rich stew of approaches to modern art. The city absorbed and transmuted an international mélange of styles—cubism, orphism, futurism, dadaism, constructivism, neoplasticism, suprematism, de Stijl, Bauhaus—France encountering Holland, Germany, Italy, and Russia with Pablo Picasso from Spain, Constantin Brancusi from Romania, and Jacques Lipchitz from Lithuania. As a sculptor, Gertrude Greene...
