The New York SalesvideoIn La Statuaire the artist depicts a seated female figure opposite a portrait bust, which is placed atop a pedestal. Seemingly parallel to each other, the pair is positioned in front of a set of open French doors, beyond which a balcony and an abstracted blue background convey, but do not confirm, the outdoors. The use of the balcony as a compositional device had been thoroughly explored in the previous century by the Impressionists. A visual symbol of Baron Hausmann’s Paris, artists from Édouard Manet to Gustave Caillebotte arranged space and perspective, both to view the city (in the case of Caillebotte) and to view the viewers (in the case of Manet; see figs. 4 and 5). Picasso’s balcony serves neither of these purposes. While it might abstractly imply the outdoors and the possibility of the female figure being seen by others, the primary act of looking here is between figure and sculpture or the artist—Picasso—regarding his own creation.
The New York SalesvideoTheir presence suggested only by an ultramarine snorkel, a wanton visitor lurking beneath the bubbles shocks the subject of Woman in Tub from 1988, a masterpiece from Jeff Koons’ Banality series which crystallized the aims and interests of his mature artistic enterprise. Her mouth agape with either surprise or ecstasy, the partially decapitated figure clutches her breasts as she discovers an individual submerged between her legs, enacting a bawdy sexual joke. Among the most iconic images of not only the twenty works that comprise the Banality series but of Koons’ canonical oeuvre as a whole, Woman in Tub has been included in many of the artist’s most important exhibitions, from his 1992 survey at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam to his 2014 retrospective organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Further test.mes nt to its extraordinary importance, another edition of the present work is held in the permanent collects ion of the Art Institute of Chicago, with other Banality works residing in prestigious international institutions, including the Museum Brandhorst, Munich; The Broad, Los Angeles; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo; and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among others. Interrogating the origins of desire, the politics of spectatorship, and our collects ive – perhaps arbitrary – hierarchies of taste, Woman in Tub seduces its viewer into indulging their intrigue, implicating us in the very act of voyeurism the work critiques.
The New York SalesvideoDuring his leadership at several of the most prestigious museums in the United States, Thomas Armstrong's name became synonymous with American cultural institutions.Over the course of a career spanning nearly half a century, all while bearing his signature bowtie and wind-up toys, Armstrong indelibly shaped the tenor and texture of the art world as we know it today, from his directorship at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Andy Warhol Museum, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Replica Handbags s, to his t.mes at Replica Shoes ’s New York. As the director of the Whitney, Armstrong made extraordinary leaps in strengthening the museum’s identity by way of intrepid acquisitions. In 1977, he purchased Frank Stella’s Die Fahne Noch from 1959, followed three years later by Jasper Johns’ Three Flags. In 1982, he raised more than $1.25 million to add Alexander Calder's Circus, an intricate assemblage of more than 50 miniature figures and animals executed between 1926 and 1931, to the collects ion. These works now serve as cores of the Whitney’s collects ion and icons of twentieth century art. He went on to mount seminal mid-career retrospectives for artists such as Jasper Johns, Terry Winters, Mark di Suvero, David Salle, and Eric Fischl, and under his leadership, the Whitney Biennials became regarded as barometers of the nation’s creative pulse.
The New York SalesvideoExecuted at the height of Pablo Picasso’s relationship with his partner, fellow artist and mother of his children Françoise Gilot, Buste de femme is an emblematic portrait of one of the most iconic figures in his life. Executed on March 24th, 1949, the present work belongs to a celebrated yet limited group of portraits Picasso created over the course of a year depicting Gilot in labyrinthine contours and rich jewel tones.
The New York SalesvideoThe American flag billows against an extraordinarily vermilion sky in Georges’ Flag from 1999, an operatic ode to Ed Ruscha’s career-long commitment to Pop, conceptualism, and his distinctly West Coast sensibility. A vast and epic painting of histrionic significance, Georges’ Flag deploys the intellectually loaded image of the national banner so aptly appropriated in the most seminal works by Ruscha’s peers – from Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, to Claes Oldenburg – and now stands as a test.mes nt to the artist’s longstanding interest in the American West. In the 1960s, Ruscha first powerfully asserted that language itself was representation – that text could be legible as both word and object – thus pushing the boundaries of the then-nascent Pop movement. In 1985, however, his investigation of words’ dual truth as both text and image turned its attention into the semiotic realm of signs and signals with his first flag paintings. Georges’ Flag marks the last canvas in an early group of six paintings centering the American flag executed between 1985-99, a motif so resonant and resounding that Ruscha would later reengage it in 2017 and feature it prominently in his solo exhibition at the Vienna Secession, Ed Ruscha: Double Americanisms. Georges’ Flag thunders at panoramic scale, an absorptive, arresting vista which commands its viewer’s salutations and meditations on a country’s iconography.

The New York SalesvideoStuart Davis, among the twentieth century's most influential American artists, devoted six decades to refining his singular vernacular, drawing on European modernism and the rich tapestry of American culture. During the final decade of his life, Davis had mastered a distinct, signature style, yielding his most significant masterpieces. Part Cubist, part Pop, part Abstract, his 1960s works were characterized by monumental scale, increased economy of form and keyed-up colors. Executed in 1963, just a year before the artist’s death, Contranuities is a towering masterpiece measuring 68 inches in height, embodying its author’s enduring legacy as a quintessential figure of American modernism. Contranuities has remained in the same prominent collects ion for nearly fifty years, eluding the public eye and staying relatively unknown for a work of its caliber.
