WILLEM DE KOONINGPink Woman1964Oil and pastel on paper laid on board10 x 11 in.Inquire About This WorkEnquire About This Work
Unlike the majority of his fellow Abstract Expressionists, De Kooning often retained a figurative element to his work, and there are interpretations and reflections of nature even in his great abstract series of ‘Untitled’ works from 1977, considered his best year and when his top price at auction of $66million was painted. De Kooning executed very many works in the late 1940s, through the 1950s and early 1960s with the word ‘Woman’ in the title. The top price at auction for such a title is over $19m, for an oil just 28 x 20 inches, and the top 7 prices for any work on paper, starting at $6.4m for a work 8 x 6 inches, are for those with ‘Woman’ in the title.
He already had an established career when he started on his Woman series. These paintings, of buxom, vampish females, knotted up in swathes of abstraction, took detours from earlier ladylike forms into a new and violent direction. “If the facial and anatomical distortions of these figures reveal a kinship with Picasso’s famous series of paintings of Dora Maar, de Kooning’s handling of the figure within the space is far more fluid and energized than the rational geometry of Picasso’s Cubist interior spaces,” Judith Zilczer writes in her Phaidon book.

JOAN MITCHELLUntitled, 19721972Oil on canvas 25 x 23.5 inInquire About This WorkEnquire About This Work
Joan Mitchell has long been regarded as one of the most important figures to emerge from the second generation of Abstract Expressionists. Untitled, 1972 is stylistically consistent with Mitchell's mature work, comprising the use of richly coloured, gestural abstractions set within a composition that mirrors the wild, energetic vigour synonymous with her technique. Often inspired by landscape and poetry, Mitchell sought to capture a purely emotional experience of nature where the cognitive impression took precedence over the recognisable image. She herself wrote: “I have feelings about water and sky. I like a view. I don't like to look at a wall.” Acquiring a house in Vétheuil outside Paris in 1967, Mitchell settled in the peaceful tranquillity of her new environs with panoramic views over the Seine. While tempting to connect her more visually harmonious aesthetic from this period with Vétheuil's most well-known artistic resident, Claude Monet, Mitchell refuted such claims, stating to The New York Times: “I bought this house because I liked the view, not out of any love for Monet”, stingingly mispronouncing the artist's name so it rhymed with ‘bonnet'.

ANDY WARHOLThe Scream (After Munch)1983 Screen print on Lenox board in a unique combination of colors40 x 32 inInquire About This WorkEnquire About This Work
Andy Warhol's prints after Edvard Munch were never published, and exist only in rare, unique colour variants. The series was commissioned by New York's Galleri Bellman and reimagines Munch's most celebrated works: 'The Brooch (Eva Mudocci)', 'Madonna', 'Self-Portrait with Skeleton Arm', and his most iconic image, 'The Scream'. One of the most innovative and influential artists of American Pop, and indeed in the history of twentieth-century art, Warhol's use of mass imagery and reproductive technologies destabilised accepted notions of fine art and creativity. Appropriating popular culture's most ubiquitous images, from Marilyn Monroe to the Campbell's Soup can, he fashioned a language of bold lines and synthetic colours that has in itself become iconic.
By the 1980's famous artworks had become commodities, taking the form of posters, fridge magnets and all species of museum souvenirs. Munch's work, and 'The Scream' in particular, are amongst modern art's most reproduced and recognisable images. Warhol's silkscreen reimagines Munch's haunting image in characteristic brilliant colour. Munch's coursing contorted lines, so central to the painting's sense of disruption and angst, take on a graphic quality in Warhol's work. As in all of Warhol's silkscreens, the image takes on a new life in reproduction, one that is caught between the icon's formal qualities and the collective memory that shrouds it.
Warhol's interest in Munch extended beyond the ubiquity of his work. Munch was also a prolific printmaker, reproducing his paintings as lithographs. Like Warhol, he was acutely aware of the power of color, using varying shades and combinations to shift the mood and impact of each print. In his 1964 'Self-Portrait', Warhol echoes the same frontal pose and red hue of Munch's 'Self-Portrait with Skeleton Arm', asserting his affinity with an artist who observed the peculiar angst of modern life. Another example of Warhol's 'The Scream' can be found in the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Works from this series were also exhibited in 'Munch/Warhol', which was held at New York's Scandinavia House in 2013 and coincided with the publication of Patricia Berman's 'Munch/Warhol and the Multiple Image'.

ROBERT RAUSCHENBERGUntitled 75.090 (from the Hoarfrost Series)1975Solvent transfer and paper bags on fabric90 x 51 inInquire About This WorkEnquire About This Work
Robert Rauschenberg’s career remains among one of the most varied and unique to emerge from the Post-War American art scene. He played an instrumental role in redefining the trajectory of American art, building on the legacies of European Dadaists including Duchamp and Schwitters. The Hoarfrost series signalled a departure from his original method of image making, forging a new type of artistic practice that captured the ephemeral, the fleeting and the transitory. Untiled 75.090 captures Rauschenberg’s characteristic tendency towards the use of imagery cut from newspapers, advertisements and photographs which are playfully arranged on fabric via solvent transfer. Featured in Preview (Hoarfrost Edition), the car motif on the left of the earlier work is used once again but this time it’s been cut in half and the right half turned 180 degrees, creating a subtle distortion. The use of diaphanous sheets of fabric and the loose hanging of the work allow for delicate shifts in movement. The inclusion of everyday ephemera including paper bags, newspaper cuttings and photographs further reinforces the transience that Rauschenberg sought to explore in the series as well as investigating the nature of the veiled or obscured image.
The series not only represents a variation in Rauschenberg’s technical practice but also reflects his changing circumstances. In 1970 he relocated from the bustling streets of Lower Manhattan to the peaceful seclusion of Captiva Island, instigating a passage in his career that combined those stylistic innovations integral to his work from previous decades with a technique that was altogether freer and more liberated.

JEAN-PAUL RIOPELLESans titre1956Gouache on paper23.5 x 47.25 inInquire About This WorkEnquire About This Work
Jean-Paul Riopelle's ‘Sans titre' was executed during a period of transition in his stylistic output. Having previously painted using the method of action painting synonymous with Jackson Pollock, Riopelle turned towards more conventional painting techniques. Sans titre, while bearing many of the hallmarks of a certain American Abstract Expressionist style, reveals a more methodical process where saturated colour is built up in layers and applied using a palette knife. However, as a work on paper he could not afford to use such heavy impastos as was his practice in oil painting. ‘Sans titre' perhaps represents the introduction of a new aesthetic where the sheer weight of paint had to be reduced due the very nature of the medium. The manifestation of this is apparent as areas of paper remain exposed; creating a void that brings passages of calm to the frenetic movement around it.
The subsequent effect is a visual patchwork of vibrant, luminous colours that are brought together harmoniously despite the seemingly energetic and free technique. By the mid to late 1950s Riopelle was at his peak – his understanding of the application of paint and the diversity of sources for his inspiration (from deep Canadian forests to post-war Paris) produced a magnificent body of work in the years running up to his prolific, but less interesting, 1960s output.

Featured in Preview (Hoarfrost Edition), the car motif on the left of the earlier work is used once again but this time it’s been cut in half and the right half turned 180 degrees, creating a subtle distortion. The use of diaphanous sheets of fabric and the loose hanging of the work allow for delicate shifts in movement. The inclusion of everyday ephemera including paper bags, newspaper cuttings and photographs further reinforces the transience that Rauschenberg sought to explore in the series as well as investigating the nature of the veiled or obscured image.
The series not only represents a variation in Rauschenberg’s technical practice but also reflects his changing circumstances. In 1970 he relocated from the bustling streets of Lower Manhattan to the peaceful seclusion of Captiva Island, instigating a passage in his career that combined those stylistic innovations integral to his work from previous decades with a technique that was altogether freer and more liberated.
