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.

Paul Durand-Ruel: Le pari de l’impressionnisme (The Gamble on Impressionism)

From an excellent article in the Irish Times:  (Read the whole thing, please!) In one of the ironies of art history, the great French art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel “discovered” Impressionism in London in January 1871 because he, Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro had sought refuge there from the Franco-Prussian war… With its muddy grass, grey but luminous sky and barely sketched, dark silhouetted figures,  Monet’s Green Park , painted during his year of exile, still embodies London. Green Park is one of more than 90 works either owned or traded by Durand-Ruel that are on exhibition at the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris. The same exhibition will travel to the National Gallery in London in March 2015, then to the Philadelphia Museum of Art from late June… Back in Paris after the war, Monet and Pissarro introduced Durand-Ruel to Degas, Renoir and Sisley. “Durand-Ruel was a missionary,” Renoir said. “Fortunately for us, painting was his religion.” “Without Durand, all of us Impression...
