2. All property is sold “AS IS” and the Museum/CAS makes no representations or warranties of any kind or any nature, expressed or implied, with respect to the property, and in no event shall the Museum/CAS be responsible for the correctness of the catalogue, nor be deemed to have made any representations or warranties of description, physical condition, quality, rarity, importance, genuineness, attribution, or provenance of the property. No statement in the catalogue, made at the sale or online, in any bill of sale or invoice, or elsewhere shall be deemed such a representation or warranty of any assumption of liability.

3. The Museum/CAS reserves the right to withdraw any property at any time before the actual sale.

4. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of the sale, all bids are per lot as identifi ed in the catalogue.

5. If the Museum/CAS determines that any opening bid is not commensurate with the same value of the article off ered, the auctioneer may reject the same and withdraw the article from sale; and if, having acknowledged an opening bid, he decided that any advance thereafter is not of suffi cient amount, he may reject the advance.

6. On the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, title to the off ered lot or article will pass to the highest bidder, who thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefore, (b) will sign a confi rmation for the purchase thereof, and (c) will pay the full purchase price thereof.

Richard Serra, one of the preeminent sculptors of our era, is best known for his massive steel sculptures. His work is collected by every major museum in the world, and just recently, the Museum of Modem Art had a retrospective exhibition of his work, titled Rich-ard Serra, Sculpture: Forty Years. He is also regarded as an excellent graphic artist and has been produc-ing prints with Gemini for nearly thirty years. For this piece, Serra cut deeply into traditional etching plates to print expressive gestural forms and a distinctly textured surface.

James Siena creates compulsively complex works based on systems that he derives from science and nature. The magic of Siena’s paintings and prints is the remarkable visual quality that comes from his diligent systematic approach. He has often been compared to Sol LeWitt in his conceptual approach to art. Siena has been featured in over fi fty-fi ve group exhibitions, including the 2004 Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial. He is considered one of the great abstract artists of his generation, and his work is in most major public collections of contemporary painting, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and, thanks to CAS, the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Lesley Vance is a Milwaukee-born artist who earned her B.F.A. at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and her M.F.A. at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California. Vance is currently one of the leading artists in Los Angeles, and her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe, including the 2010 Whitney Biennial. To create her paintings, Vance composes still lifes of organic materials in her studio, which she photo-graphs and then paints as abstractions. Vance’s luminous paintings transform the original still life into vibrant strokes of color set against a dark background, emulating the lighting of seven-teenth-century Spanish still lifes.

Vee Speers’s works have been widely published and exhibited and are held in private collections and museums around the world. Immortal #1-Vera is one of ten portraits from her Immortal series. Inspired by Oscar Wilde’s Portrait of Dorian Gray, the series is a personal refl ection on society’s obsession with youth, beauty, and death. Here, Speers captures an awkwardly posed young woman in her early twenties whose serene expression challenges the “traditional equilibrium of form and proportion” in a rather Mannerist fashion. The overall painterly quality of the piece has become a signature of the artist’s unusual style.

Hank O’Neal is a renaissance man. He has composed music, produced music festivals, written several books, worked for the CIA, served in the U.S. Army, and made photographs. His artistic subject matter is just as wide ranging, from portraits of his music associates to ironic images from around the globe. In this piece, O’Neal captured some of the last remain-ing “Shadowman” paintings by Richard Hambleton (American, b. 1954), whose graffi ti artwork was plastered on buildings across New York City and Europe during the 1980s. In February 2010, fi ve of O’Neal’s “Shadowman” images were enlarged to poster size and included in the Richard Hambleton exhibition at the Armani Teatro in Milan, Italy. Another of this series, One Way, was featured as a thirty-foot-long mural at the amfAR benefi t in Cannes this May.

Seizing the opportunity that came with her assignments for Vogue magazine, Craig-Martin captured the fashion and folly among superstars. Tightly cropping her photographs and often leaving the identity of the subject to mystery, she highlights the common, the coincidental, and the clichéd. These glossy still lifes disclose candid scenes in clubs and VIP events, unlike glamorous shots used for magazine covers. In Cougar Friends, Craig-Martin transforms the misfortune of showing up to the party in the same dress (or nearly the same dress for that matter) into an amusing documentation of the rich and famous.

Michal Chelbin’s series Strangely Familiar at-tempts to capture everyday people and stories that fall somewhere between the odd and the ordinary. The photographs depict small-town performers and traveling circus troupes in the Ukraine, Russia, Israel, and England, and docu-ment what remains of a long but dying tradition in popular culture. In Natasha, the juxtaposition of miners and a colorful young performer highlights the hard work and distinctive textures involved in both pursuits. Chelbin’s work has been featured in various international solo and group shows at galleries and museums such as the National Portrait Gallery and The Photographers Gallery in London, The Hendrik Andersen Museum in Rome, and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.

Marc Trujillo’s urban landscape paintings of common, everyday places off er intelligent pause. He makes detailed observations of overlooked spaces including the gas stations, storefronts, and fast-food restaurants he regularly visits. Trujillo’s classical and laborious approach to painting is in stark contrast to today’s fast-paced, get-it-now mentality. Despite the omnipresence of his subject matter, Trujillo precisely records every detail, such as the glow from neon lights on the storefront at dusk in 4300 Cedros Avenue. Tru-jillo’s work has been featured in numerous solo and group shows and reviewed in Artforum and the Los Angeles Times. In 2008, he was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship.

Michael Wolf is a photographer living and working in the cities of Hong Kong and Paris. In 2007, the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College invited him to photograph Chicago’s urban landscape, resulting in the series Transparent City. These large-format photographs, taken from unique vantage points, reveal the relationship between the intimate details of a building’s interior and the sur-rounding industrial cityscape. Wolf’s photographs were featured at the Hong Kong Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, and his work is held in numer-ous public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum.

Julian Opie is an internationally celebrated artist who draws from a standardized process of portraiture pioneered by Andy Warhol and from the cartoon and comic book imagery employed by Roy Lichtenstein. In his creative process, Opie photographs his sub-jects and then reduces them to fl at and simplifi ed, digitized images in a style that has become a trade-mark. Infl uenced by a range of mediums, such as billboards, Japanese prints, and traditional portrai-ture, Opie blurs the lines between commercial media and classic art. His popular Imagine you are…series, depicting fi gures performing everyday motions, has appeared in sculpture and light installations in public spheres all over London. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Tate Gallery, London.

Reginald Baylor, Milwaukee’s own Pop sensation, studied art at the University of Wisconsin before working at museums in California and running a trucking company out of Chicago. His energetic paintings of the everyday are full of vibrant colors, geometric shapes, and bold patterns. Baylor, like artist Kehinde Wiley, uses both the classical and the contemporary as subject matter. The study depicted in The Diff erence Between 211 and 212 has a unique perspective, which results in viewers approaching the picture as if they were the size of an ant. His bold bright red and orange hues add an unexpected exuberance and playfulness to the bookish interior.

Thiebaud is celebrated as a founding fi gure of the Pop Art movement—he is considered one of the fi rst American artists to concentrate on production-line objects. This striking screenprint of a toy counter demonstrates the artist’s vibrant use of color, as well as his trademark use of well-defi ned shadows.

Joel Meyerowitz is an award-winning street photographer known for his pioneering infl uence on the world of color photography. He began photographing in the early 1960s with a 35mm camera and, by the mid-1970s, transitioned into producing the large-format color photographs for which he is best known. Dusk, New Jersey exemplifi es his quiet and deliberate aesthetic in capturing the American landscape. His work has appeared in over 350 exhibitions and is included in many museum collections, such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. He is a recipient of two Guggenheim fellowships and awards from both the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Once revered for his lyrical, colorful style, James Brooks was a fi rst-generation Abstract Expression-ist painter, who was among the fi rst to use staining as a technique. A friend and neighbor to Jackson Pollock as well as a friend to Philip Guston, Brooks, considered one of the foremost painters of his generation during his lifetime, has since been over-shadowed by Pollock and de Kooning. His paintings are in every major collection of Abstract Expression-ism, including the Brooklyn Museum, the Metro-politan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Tate Gallery in London. He is one of the next great rediscoveries of the Abstract Expressionist generation.

New York-based artist Roxy Paine has been featured in major collections and exhibitions throughout the world, including his sensational 2009 roof garden installation at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In addition to his static indus-trial, yet organic, sculptural commissions, Paine further complicates the relationship between the natural and the manmade with machines that make artworks for him. The artist’s automated Paint Dipper, which dips canvases into a vat of acrylic paint, created 16161052009A; it varies the number of immersions and the drying times for each work. Paine controls the variables of each painting through a computer in his machine, but the resulting unique properties of each drip are left to chance.

Ed Paschke is internationally recognized as one of the leading Chicago Imagist artists. His work was deeply aff ected by commercial culture; however, rather than focus on mainstream media like the artists of the Pop Art movement, he took the underbelly of society as his subject. His later work emphasized themes such as violence and religion and are, according to Paschke, an “exploratory reaction to movies and television.” Earlier this year, Jeff Koons—one of his former students and studio assistants—curated a major exhibition of his work at Gagosian Gallery in New York. Paschke’s work is in the collections of major museums including the Whitney, Metropolitan, and Brooklyn Museums.

Chuck Close has gained international distinction as a leading fi gure in contemporary art and is considered one of the greatest living artists in the United States. One of his most recognized works, Nancy (1968), is in the Collection of the Milwaukee Art Museum. Throughout his long career, Close has changed his methodology, but the preliminary process has remained the same: Using a series of squares in a grid to re-create the image, Close focuses on the abstract shapes and colors. This is a labor-intensive process, and just one print can take up to two years to complete. Lucas/Woodcut is a print of photographer and friend Lucas Samaras. Lucas was also the subject of the artist’s notable painting of the same name, Lucas (1986–87), that currently hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Alice Neel did not receive critical acclaim until late in her career, but she is now valued as one of the most important American painters of the twentieth century. Fiercely independent and free-spirited, Neel painted people, landscapes, and still lifes with immense passion. Neel’s severely honest portraits depict the famous and unknown fi gures of twentieth-century New York. Her caricaturist images wittily refl ect the physical characteristics and social statuses of her subjects. This portrait of Walter Gutman, the New York stock market analyst and patron of avant-garde art fi lms such as Pull My Daisy (in which Neel appeared), demonstrates Neel’s ability to capture the essence of her subject.

One of Germany’s most preeminent painters, Georg Baselitz captures the desperation, mood, and struggles felt in postwar Germany in the raw emotion and aggressive marks of his work. In 1969, the artist began his trademark style of paint-ing upside-down fi gures to force a new perspec-tive on viewers. By making recognizable images unfamiliar, he focuses the viewer’s attention on the overall process and structure—the expressive mark making and bold color palette—rather than on the subject matter. Baselitz has a long exhibi-tion history, including multiple international museum retrospectives. His work was featured in the Milwaukee Art Museum’s 2009 exhibition Figurative Prints: 1980s Rewind.

Best known for animated fi lms based on charcoal drawings, William Kentridge also works in prints, books, collage, sculpture, and the performing arts. His work combines the political with the poetic, and deals with subjects as sobering as apartheid, colonialism, and totalitarianism. Earlier this year, New York’s Metropolitan Opera opened The Nose, directed by and with set design by Kentridge, simultaneously with his retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. The title of this collage refers to a famous exchange about philosophy of mathematics between Wittgenstein and Russell, during which Wittgenstein claimed that it was impossible to know for certain that no rhinoceroses were in the room, no matter how hard you looked. He maintained, “there is nothing in the world except asserted propositions.”

Spanning fi ve decades, Gerhard Richter’s career is fi lled with numerous accolades, such as representing Germany in the 1972 Venice Biennale, as well as numerous retrospectives, including the traveling exhibition Gerhard Richter: 40 Years of Painting organized by the Museum of Modern Art. Richter makes many of his works, whether fi gurative or abstract, with a hallmark “blur” to present viewers with an impression or memory of an image. This photograph was created after the oil painting Schlucht [Ravine] from 1996, which is based on a photograph Richter took in Engadine, Switzerland, in 1995.

One of the most infl uential British artists of the twentieth century, David Hockney is a multi-faceted artist: master painter, draftsman, print-maker, photographer, and designer. After moving to California in the early 1960s, Hockney became captivated by the lifestyle and the people, devel-oping the naturalistic style and focus on autobio-graphical subjects he is most known for today. Hockney, who has a long and unwavering devotion to portraiture, utilizes a variety of mediums to cre-ate his portraits. The computer software he used to create this drawing allowed him to switch color more rapidly than with brushes, and to enlarge areas of the composition so that he could refi ne every detail.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Harry Bertoia explored the musical properties of thin metal rods and developed a unique approach to sculpture. His sound sculptures make diff erent sounds similar to those of elaborate wind chimes and result in the formation of Sonambient. Sonambient is the term Bertoia coined to describe the spatial and tonal environment created when his sound sculptures are set into motion. The Milwaukee Art Museum has thirteen of his artworks in its Collection, including a selection that is currently on display in the Bradley Galleries.

Although the name Roy Lichtenstein will always be synonymous with Pop Art, the artist continued to make inventive new work for almost three decades beyond the 1960s. During the 1970s, he began to quote art historical styles as well as his own previous works; for instance, rendering his subject in a way that confl ated Cubist or Expressionist style with his own signature technique. Using his comic book style of painting, he stripped both subjects and movements of their original import and gravitas. This summer, Gagosian Gallery presented Lichtenstein: Still Lifes, a solo exhibi-tion that focused on his work from 1972 to 1988. A major retrospective of his work, co-organized by the Art Institute of Chicago and Tate Modern, London, is planned for 2012.

Joel Shapiro is one of the most widely exhibited American sculptors. He has created numerous public commissions, and in 2001, fi ve of his sculptures were exhibited in the roof garden at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Shapiro was a central force in redefi ning sculpture following the Mini-malist and Conceptual movements. He is best known for his elegant abstract sculptures of the human form, deftly assembled with rectangular elements of wood and bronze. In works such as Untitled, Shapiro’s geometric forms exhibit meticulous attention to alignment, surface, and balance, and an unexpected degree of exuberant expressive movement.
