FRANK STELLA (AMERICAN B.1936) VARIOUS COLOUR STUDIES AND DESIGNSSix wool tapestries (Dimensions: 67cm x 80cm (26.5in x 31.5in), frame size)Provenance: Dovecot Tapestry Studios , Edinburgh Note: In 1984, Frank Stella was commissioned to design a set of tapestries, to be woven by the Dovecot Tapestry Studios in Edinburgh, for PepsiCo Inc. headquarters in New York. The set of tapestries were inspired by El Lissitzky's Had Gadya. The tapestries in this lot are test samples for different colours and patterns for Stella's designs. The tapestries are accompanied by a catalogue, published to commemorate the entire project. Biography: Frank Stella is one of the great American artists associated with the Minimalism movement of the 1960s. Minimalism spanned many artistic fields, from the compositions of musician Philip Glass, to the plays of Samuel Beckett. In terms of the visual arts, it is characterised by an often 'hard-edged' take on abstraction and a systemic approach to painting, often formed of geometric shapes depicted in highly saturated 'fields' of colour. Stella is regarded as one of the pioneers of this new approach, though many included under the Minimalism banner rejected the categorisation of their work as a cohesive movement as such. Stella struck out on his career path as an artist largely independently and with a clear, singular vision for the work he wanted to create. Having been influenced early on by the precise, tonal works of European modernists like the Bauhaus' Josef Albers, Stella very deliberately chose to move away and past the dense, gestural approach to abstraction made famous by Abstract Expressionists like Jackson Pollock. In antithesis, his work sought to elevate the picture as object, as opposed to the picture as cipher for something tangible in the physical world, or as representative of the artist's own interior life and emotions. Where the previous school had sought to capture feeling and painterly movement in the immediate post-war years, Stella and his contemporaries were cool and detached. Stella's work is featured in the collections of important institutions around the world. In 1970, he became the youngest artist to be the subject of a major solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. In 2009, Stella was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Obama.
§ ALEXANDER GOUDIE (SCOTTISH 1933-2004) BRITTANY VIEWSigned, watercolour (Dimensions: 62cm x 87cm (24.5in x 34.25in))Biography Alexander Goudie (1933-2004), was one of Scotland's foremost contemporary artists. He was born in Paisley in Renfrewshire. He studied at the Glasgow School of Art, where he received the Newbery medal. On a trip to France, he visited Brittany, where he met Marie-Renée Dorval. They married in 1962 and her education in art and Breton culture helped establish him as a leading 'Breton' artist and Brittany became one of his main sources of inspiration. He exhibited widely in Brittany and in 1966 for the first time he exhibited his Breton paintings in Edinburgh. In 1987, he was commissioned to design the interiors and artworks for the ship ‘Bretagne,’ flagship of the Brittany Ferries Company. His work brought together landscapes, small scenes & still lives. The tables of the first class dining room were divided by paintings of food hanging at right angles. The originality of the scheme and the large number of works on display was received with great acclaim at the time. He liked to see, and attempt, mastery in painting but in a more conventional way; remaining uninspired by 20th century artistic movements, such as cubism or futurism. He has been described as 'an old-fashioned painter,' and for a man who felt that his job as an artist was 'to simply to tell a story in pictures and to speak with a clear voice,' presumably this was a compliment. But for the artistic establishment at this time, that would be far from a positive affirmation of his approach, entirely aside from their thoughts on his technical abilities. As Sir Timothy Clifford, former Director-General of the National Galleries of Scotland eulogised, Goudie 'had the skill and eye to describe, as almost no one else could, the sweating flanks of a cart-horse, the toiling, foreshortened form of a Breton peasant, the sheen on silk velvet, or the glow on a pretty girl's cheek.'
