Wolfs Gallery – Richard Andres Selected Works 1950 – 1975
June 09 – August 20
wolfsgallery.com

CLEVELAND, OHIO — Wolfs will present the exhibition and sale “Richard Andres: Selected Works 1950-1975,” featuring the early works of American abstract expressionist Richard Andres (1927-2013). The show will be on view June 9-August 20.

Richard Andres was an odd combination of an artistic hermit and a figure on top of the latest developments on the contemporary scene. After studying at the Cleveland Institute of Art on a National Scholastic scholarship, Andres immersed himself in painting, spending off-hours at the Cleveland Museum, focusing on artists such as Van Gogh and Matisse. When asked to describe his art, Andres struggled. “It’s hard to describe art. Art is something that’s there, to look at. So, words are very difficult. Essentially, the closest I can come is to say I’m a 1950s painter. The ‘50s was sort of an attitude toward art. It was going to be big. It was going to be strong. This great big group of painters had this attitude toward painting and it’s hard to pin it down because each painter was different. It really is a style that’s hard to define but the term ‘abstract expressionism’ is often used.”

According to 60’s critic Helen Borsick, “Technically, his paintings are abstractions, but that is only part of the story. Andres’ complex style of composition — strong in design and drawing — involves compartmentalizing the canvas with favorite signs, figurative allusions and symbols. Any degree of familiarity with his canvases develops recognition of his painting language and repeated forms as well as of the endless nuances of color tints and overpaint and underpainting methods.”

Some of Andres’ inspiration came from other artists, once stating that Edward Munch, Emile Nolde and Max Beckmann ranked within his top ten most admired painters. While often being his own worst critic, Andres grew content and more relaxed later in life, saying, “For years, I’d do a painting and say, ‘But it’s not good enough. You try to achieve something and you overachieve it but it’s still not good enough. I finally did a painting and looked at it and said, That is good enough.’ From that point on, the older paintings got better in my own mind.”

While with his finger always on the pulse of his more famous contemporaries, Andres was content to simply produce, preferring to avoid the limelight.

Director Michael Wolf of Wolfs describes his discovery of this trove of “masterful abstraction expressionist works” as “a rare and wondrous event,” and comments that it evokes “the heady times of the midcentury American art world.”

A fully illustrated catalog with more than 50 works, including an essay by Dr Henry Adams accompanies the exhibition and can be purchased for $20 post-paid.

Coeur d’Alene Art Auction
July 23
Grand Sierra Resort, Reno NV

RENO, NEV. — The Coeur d’Alene Art Auction, known for selling Western paintings and sculpture from historical and contemporary artists, will host its 37th annual Western art auction at the Grand Sierra Resort on July 23. With more than $300 million in sales over the last 15 years, the auction has been hailed as “The Biggest and Most Successful Auction of Western Art” by the Wall Street Journal and was named “The Most Important Annual Event for Collectors of Western Art” by the New York Times.

Museum-quality paintings will cross the block, featuring works by Charles M. Russell, Frederic Remington, Henry Farny, Philip R. Goodwin, Gerard Curtis Delano, Edgar Payne and Albert Bierstadt, among others.

A major Charles M. Russell painting, “Mexican Vaqueros Roping a Steer,” will be offered. Painted in Russell’s prime, the 18-by-28-inch watercolor carries an estimate of $400/600,000. It will be joined by a rare 27-by -33-inch oil by Russell, “Shooting the Buffalo” ($400/600,000). Frederic Remington will be represented with four works, including “A Peccary Hunt in Northern Mexico.” The 18-by-28-inch oil comes from a prominent Nevada collection ($150/250,000).

Taos Founders are well represented with works by William Herbert Dunton, including “Crest of the Ridge, Grizzly” and “The Hunter’s Return,” each estimated at $200/300,000. They will be joined by oils from Joseph Henry Sharp, headlined by “Blackfeet Sun Dance” ($200/300,000), “The Bonnet Maker” ($70/100,000) and “The War Chief ($60/90,000). Victor Higgins’ “Adobe House – Taos” ($150/250,000) and E. Martin Hennings’ “Clouds Over Moreno Valley” ($60/90,000) will be featured along with additional paintings by Oscar Berninghaus, Eanger Irving Couse and Bert Geer Phillips.

A major oil painting by Gerard Curtis Delano will be one of the highlights when it hits the auction block. “Misty Morning,” a 30-by-40-inch oil, features an ever-popular Native American canoe scene ($300/500,000), the work was purchased by the current owner’s family in the 1950s.

One of the most important works by Philip R. Goodwin to ever come to market will be in this year’s sale. “Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea” is a 30-by-39-inch oil ($150/250,000). It has been hailed by noted Goodwin scholar and author Larry Len Peterson as “one of the finest sporting art collectibles of the Twentieth Century.” Coming from a private family collection where it has resided for more than 80 years, the work is considered the absolute pinnacle of Goodwin’s storied career.

Another gem in the sporting genre will be “Pickerel” by Frank Schoonover. Hailing from a private Delaware collection, the 34-by-24-inch oil is considered to be one of his finest paintings ($100/150,000). The work was featured on the covers of both Popular and Top Notch magazines in 1917 and has a long exhibition history.

A once-in-a-lifetime collecting opportunity will be available with Harvey Dunn’s “The Homesteaders.” Dunn did a series of prairie paintings of which almost the entire collection resides in the South Dakota Art Museum. This painting has been in the same collection for more than 70 years and has never been on the market. Estimated at $150/250,000, it is sure to set a new world auction record for the artist.

Peter Hurd has been one of the most sought-after artists the last few years. His major works are rare and see competitive bidding at auction. “A Ranch on the Plains” ($80/120,000) will be hitting the market for the first time since it was painted in 1951. Coeur d’Alene set a new world record last year for Hurd, which “Ranch on the Plains” will be sure to test.

California artists have always been a mainstay of the Coeur d’Alene Art Auction, and this year’s sale includes four masterpieces by Edgar Payne. “Land of the Navajo” is the most important Payne Southwest painting to come to market in decades. The 40-by-50-inch oil is considered one of his masterpieces and has never been to auction. Estimated at $300/500,000, it may set a new record for the artist. Joining it will be “Desert Sky” ($150/250,000), a 25-by-30-inch oil featuring Native riders in a spectacular atmospheric landscape, and “Fourth Lake, Big Pine Canyon,” a 24-by-42-inch Sierra ($100/150,000). It was included in the 1980 seminal exhibition “Painting and Sculpture in Los Angeles, 1900-1945” at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and in the “Out of the West” exhibition at the Hilbert Museum of California Art in 2017.

Rounding out the offerings is “Canyon de Chelly,” a 26-by-32-inch interior canyon scene featuring riders and a rare cliff dwelling ($150/250,000). Another major California painting on offer is Thomas Hill’s “Yosemite Valley.” The majestic 40-by-55-inch oil hails from a prominent private collection ($150/250,000).

Blue-chip contemporary masters make up a large part of the sale and will include Robert Griffing’s “Only a Matter of Time” ($80/120,000) and” At the River’s Edge ($60/90,000).

Grand Sierra Resort is at 2500 East 2nd Street. For information, 208-772-9009 or www.cdaartauction.com.
