Jack Levine at Auction


Christie's 2012




Levine’s On the Block 

One of the most inspired observers of America’s social eccentricities, Jack Levine (1915-2010) is renowned for his uniquely modern brand of Social Realism that he infused with satirical wit and enchantment equal to Old Masters’ Honoré Daumier and William Hogarth. Levine’s On the Block was completed over the course of six years from 1986 to 1992 (estimate: $150,000-250,000). It is the largest work in a series of paintings in which the artist bitingly comments on the New York art scene.  Standing six feet tall, the canvas is composed of a lively scene in an auction room.  The crowd of bidders includes several recognizable figures from the art world including Leo Castelli, Larry Fleischman, Andy Warhol, Edith Halpert, and who is believed to be Christie’s own Christopher Burge presiding as the auctioneer.

FREDERIC EDWIN CHURCH at AUCTION

Biography Frederic Edwin Church was born in Hartford, Connecticut, on May 4, 1826, the only son of a wealthy businessman. Although his father hoped he would become a physician or enter the world of business, Church persisted in his early desire to be a painter. In 1842-1843 he studied in Hartford with Alexander H. Emmons (1816-1879), a local landscape and portrait painter, and Benjamin H. Coe (1799-after 1883), a well-known drawing instructor. In 1844 Church's father, at last resigned to his son's choice of a career, arranged through his friend, the art patron Daniel Wadsworth, two years of study with Thomas Cole. Church was thus the first pupil accepted by America's leading landscape painter, a distinction that immediately gave him an advantage over other aspiring painters of his generation. From the first, Church showed a remarkable talent for drawing and a strong inclination to paint in a crisp, tightly focused style. In 1845 he made his...

Egon Schiele: The Radical Nude

23 October 2014 – 18 January 2015 The Courtauld Gallery is presenting the first major museum exhibition in over 20 years of one of the 20 th Century’s most exceptional artists, Egon Schiele (1890- 1918). A central figure of Viennese art in the turbulent years around the First World War, Schiele rose to prominence alongside his avant-garde contemporaries, such as Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka. He produced some of the most radical depictions of the human figure created in modern times, reinventing the subject for the 20 th Century. The exhibition charts Schiele’s short but transformative career  through one of his most important subjects – his extraordinary drawings and watercolours of male and female nudes. Egon Schiele: The Radical Nude concentrates on the artist’s drawings and watercolours. It brings together an outstanding selection of works that highlight Schiele’s technical virtuosity, highly original vision and uncompromising depiction of the naked figure. This sharply focu...
