RICHARD SERRA (San Francisco, California, 1939)."Level I", 2008.Etching, copy 14/38.Gemini G.E.L. Los Angeles, California, Publisher. With stamp on verso.Signed, dated and justified on verso.Provenance: Carreras Múgica Gallery, Bilbao. Private collection, Barcelona.Measurements: 97 x 161 cm; 110 x 174 cm (frame).Since 1994, when he began his work "The Matter of Time", a set of monumental steel structures exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, abstraction has always been the leitmotiv of Richard Serra's work. Earlier, in the 1960s, he had already worked with the simplification of forms and abstract reduction by throwing molten lead against the wall of a studio or exhibition space (a clear example of process art). This "performance" was followed by major works such as the "Titled Arc", a gently curving 3.5 metre high steel wall installed in Federal Plaza in New York, a work that once again reflected the intense and profound character of the San Francisco artist. Despite his fame as a sculptor, Serra has always successfully championed other artistic disciplines: video, drawing or, as on this occasion, installation, have taken the sculptor to the top of the international scene, and he is even considered one of the most important artists on the American scene today. The etching now on offer is distinguished by the bichrome used, as it combines a large black surface, which creates a sensation of depth, with a white stripe that alludes to emptiness and existentialism.Richard Serra is considered one of the most distinguished and well-known artists in the United States. Born in San Francisco to a Spanish father (Mallorcan) and a Ukrainian mother, Serra studied literature at the University of California at San Francisco. He studied literature at the University of California at Berkeley and Santa Barbara (1957-1961). During his early years, he worked in a steel mill, an activity that influenced his artistic language. He then studied art at Yale University (1961-1964). Specialising in large-scale sculpture, his fame and the size of his works grew over the years. Gallery owners such as Leo Castelli and collectors such as Emily and Joseph Pulitzer became interested in an art that, due to its volume, leapt from the galleries to the street, an aspect that introduced him to Land Art alongside great artists such as Oppenheim and Javacheff. Throughout his career he has received many awards and grants, including France's prestigious Légion d'honneur, which he was awarded in 2015, the Order of Arts and Letters of Barcelona and the 2010 Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts. His work is currently in the permanent collections of institutions such as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid, the MACBA in Barcelona, and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
William Kentridge (born 1955)Colonial Landscape - Waterfall, 1995-1996 signed 'KENTRIDGE' (lower right)charcoal and pastel on paper 122 x 160cm (48 1/16 x 63in).Footnotes:ProvenanceGoodman Gallery, Johannesburg, South Africa;Private Collection, London;Acquired from the above by the current owner.ExhibitedRome, Cittá/ Natura: mostra internazionale di Arte Contemporanea' , 21 April - 23 June, 1997.LiteratureCarolyn Christov-Bakargiev, William Kentridge, (Brussels: Société des Expositions du Palais des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles, 1998), p. 182 (illustrated)William Kentridge, 1997, CD-ROM, (Johannesburg: David Krut Publishing, reproduced along with various images of drawings and graphics)The present lot is one of several drawings created by William Kentridge between 1995-1996 for his Colonial Landscape series. The series came after the theatre production, Faustus in Africa (1994), where Kentridge looked at depictions of Southern African landscapes in the era of colonisation. For example, the 1891 publication Africa and Its Exploration: As Told by its Explorers by Mungo Park, David Livingstone and others featured several engravings of idealistic scenes in Southern Africa. The engravings were produced and translated by professional engravers in London and were also reproduced in The Illustrated London News. The studies of Victoria Falls by Thomas Baines (1820-1875) are arguably comparable to Kentridge's Waterfalls from his Colonial Landscape series. In the early 1860s Baines produced a handful of sketches and oil paintings from his expedition along the Zambezi to Victoria Falls. These images were romanticised and idealistic visions of the Southern African landscape, that can be argued as often disguising the exploitative nature and brutality behind colonial rule.The imagery referred to here has undergone manifold technical steps in its production from sketch to engraving, all under the colonial, romanticised gaze encompassed by its creators. Parallel to this, the images circulated in Great Britain but were also redistributed back to Southern Africa. Kentridge has admitted to being fascinated with this geographic migration of colonial imagery, stating 'I was interested partly in the translations, the temporal and geographic dislocations that happen...'. Thus, the Colonial Landscape series became much more than a simple critique of colonialism. The works in this series were all created on high-quality, handmade Korean paper with deckled edges at the upper and lower margins. It's rare to find a part of the paper that hasn't been worked in with charcoal, which typifies the dense style that bleeds across the entire sheet and masterfully utilises the qualities of the charcoal, including the smudging and erasure that are evident so often in his work.'But if there hadn't been that first almost sensual pleasure in what it is to be working with that charcoal dust, that you can put into the spew of a waterfall, and the way lines in an engraving or in a drawing are like the lines of the sediment of a rock, and the way the rock meets the idea of a drawing or a graphic mark halfway, and the way the erasure works and a lot of other things – and, yes, obviously it relates to colonial images of Africa, but it's also a treat. A form in which I could let myself draw the beautiful, big landscapes, rather than the bleak, flat Highveld landscape.'Within this landscape Kentridge includes a large, red circle with associated red marks which dominate the page and forces the viewers gaze inwards. 'The new red marks are both beacons erected in the landscape and the surveyor's theodolite markings of the image in the viewfinder'. Kentridge has even stated that these red marks are 'bruising on the landscape', conjuring notions of conflict within a sublime landscape. Kentridge also puts his own stamp on the landscape by using motifs that he repeats throughout his oeuvre such as a megaphone and pylon that are all visible on the horizon. BibliographyMargaret K.
