Once the first bid has been placed, the auctioneer asks for higher bids in increments determined by the auctioneer. To place your bid, simply raise your paddle until the auctioneer acknowledges you.

Endangered SpeciesLots marked * are manufactured in whole or in part of restricted materials that may include tortoiseshell, ivory, mother-of-pearl, coral, rhinoceros horn, whalebone or marine ivory. Such materials may require specific licenses, certificates, or CITES documentation for import, export, moving between states in the U.S., or resale. Obtaining these documents may require scientific, laboratory or other expert analysis, in order to establish which species or genus the material came from. Freeman’s is unable to provide this information, and the obligation is on the purchaser of a lot containing any of these materials to ensure that they are able to obtain all the necessary or required documents should they need to, prior to bidding on the lot. If proper documentation or licenses etc. cannot be obtained for a purchased lot, the purchaser will still be required to make an on time payment for the lot as per our standard terms and conditions. Freeman’s cataloguing of the lots marked with this symbol * represents the best of our opinion, and the absence of this symbol from any lot description does not form a warranty that the lot will be free from any licensing or certification restrictions.

In February of 1944, when Emil Nolde’s Berlin studio was bombedby Allied Forces, many of the artist’s prized prints, paintings anddrawings were amongst the casualties of the concentrated aircampaign launched against the German capital.   Meanwhilehowever, buried safely in a cellar in Dresden remained 150 ofNolde’s most valued watercolors. He had entrusted them to hisclose friends, Frederik and Annie Gottlieb, in the hopes ofprotecting them from the Nazi’s attempt to purge all experimentalor “Entartete Kunst” (degenerate art).   Shortly after Nolde gavethese watercolors to the Gottliebs, the family was forced to flee toSwitzerland, and yet were able to bring the artist’s watercolors withthem. Sadly, their own extensive art collection and home wasdestroyed during the Dresden bombing campaign.   After the war,when Nolde came to reclaim his art from the Gottliebs in their newSwiss home, he gave each member of the family one of these“aquarelles” as a token of his gratitude.   Eule (The Owl), chosen bythe present owner’s father, is one of a series of watercolors theartist painted at the Berlin Zoo in 1923/24, well before the war. Ithas remained in their possession since, representing a rich historyof sacrifice, friendship and perseverance.   

Watercolor played a significant role in the development of Nolde’sartistic style. His first divergence from conventional painting beganin the 1890s while painting a vivid red sunrise withwatercolors.   The medium allowed for expressive color andspontaneity:   two qualities that would soon redefine the artist’soeuvre. Nolde would start each watercolor without any preliminarydrawing, allowing the composition to grow out of the color andemerge from his imagination.1 In the words of his wife, “Whenpainting, he is lavish with his watercolors. He is little troubled ifsplotches fall from his brush…I have often marveled at how recklesshe is with the wet brushes, even though he could fear at anymoment one of the threatening drips might fall… he takes thatdanger in his stride and accordingly is free to work in a rush, withno inhibitions…”2

Watercolor was also tied closely to the artist’s survival during hisyears under Nazi rule. In 1939, Nolde was excluded from the StateChamber of Fine Arts. Shortly thereafter, in August of 1941 Germanlaw branded him a degenerate artist, labeling his “expressive

distortions and non-realistic heightening of colors,” as culturallyirresponsible.   Along with artists such as Edwin Scharff and KarlSchmidt-Rottluff, Nolde’s existing art was confiscated and bannedfrom view and he was placed under close police surveillance toensure he did not continue to produce.  In direct opposition to theselaws, Nolde turned to watercolor as a means of continuing his art insecret, since the smell of oil paints would attract unwantedattention. Although filled with anxiety, the years under Nazi rulewere his most productive, and the medium acted as a catharticoutlet which eased his depression and psychological stress. By theend of the war, Nolde had produced approximately 1,300watercolors.   As a result, he is a pivotal figure in the revival of thismedium, which has since been recognized as one of the greattriumphs of 20th century German art.3

The present work is a rare examplefrom a crucial transitional period inthe young Mark Tobey’s artisticdevelopment.  In 1922, the self-taught portrait artist moved toSeattle, Washington to teach at theCornish School.  Studying the worksof major artists like Cezanne, Braqueand Picasso alongside his students,Tobey began to think carefully forthe first time about cubism, newlyconsidering his desire to “smashform, to melt it in a more movingand dynamic way.”1 Thesemeditations would lead the artist toexperience an epiphany he latercalled his “personal discovery ofcubism.”  The present work executedin exactly this period (1923) mergesthe familiar portrait genre with thisinnovative artistic style.

According to William Chapin Seitzwho interviewed the artist in depthfor the Museum of Modern Art’s1962-1963 retrospective, thisexploration of cubism was a vitalstage in the artist’s evolutiontowards his mature, most influentialperiod because “the principle ofmoving line was inaugurated.”2 Laterthat year, Tobey began studyingChinese calligraphy, which ignitedan interest in eastern ideas, alongwith universal symbols and textwhich became staples in the artist’svisual language in years ahead.

Tobey’s ultimate mature style of free

flowing line, symbology and layeredcomplexities are what have rootedhis place firmly in the canon of 20th

Century art. His works “areseismographic records of thecontemporary mind and sensibilityas it responds to the delights,dangers, staggering challenges, andunprecedented potentialities of lifein our time.”3

Freeman’s is pleased to offer the following five paintings by Joseph Floch from the distinguished collectionof Vera Sharpe Kohn.  Vera and her husband Immanuel built a varied and dynamic art collection, anddisplayed a keen interest in the artists whose work they acquired.  But, perhaps no artist in their collectionresonated more personally with the Kohns than Joseph Floch. Immanuel’s father, Hans Kohn, and Floch’solder brother were close friends, having been prisoners in the same Siberian prison camp during WorldWar II.  The families remained devoted friends through the years, and the Kohns became significantpatrons of the artist’s work.  Ultimately acquiring a number of Floch’s important paintings, the Kohns surelytook delight in both the beauty and strength of the art, and in the profound personal connection itsymbolized.

Best known for his furniture designs, stone and bronzesculptures, public parks, and paper lanterns, Isamu Noguchi’sname  is well-secured in the narrative of post-war Modern art.However, equally significant, and often overlooked, is hisoeuvre of ceramics. This small, profound and personal opusconsists of approximately 200 pieces created in Japan duringthree intensive periods: five months in 1931; one week in1950; and several months in 1952. Though his involvementwith clay was ultimately brief within the larger context of hiscareer, his impact was far-ranging, influencing acontemporary community and future generation of Japaneseand American artists.

Noguchi was born in Los Angeles in 1904, the illegitimatechild of Japanese poet Yone Noguchi and the American editorof his writings, Leonie Gilmour.  Due to anti-Japanesesentiment in the United States, he and his mother moved toJapan in 1906.  Though his father was also living there,Noguchi was raised solely by his mother until she sent him toIndiana for schooling at the age of twelve.  In hisautobiography, he recalls that his first feeling of joy wascreating the “form of a sea wave, in clay with a blue glaze”during his childhood in Japan.1 This experience set aprecedent for his future work in ceramics. While most of hisartistic endeavors were executed in the United States andinvolved industrial materials such as steel, chrome, andplastics,  he would work only with clay in Japan where, in hisown words, “the earth and the sentiment are suited topottery.”2 For Noguchi, ceramics and Japan were inextricablylinked for reasons more profound than the specific materialsavailable. The act of pottery-making  was itself a ceremonialexperience. By “embracing the Japanese earth” he wasimmersing himself in his heritage and becoming one with theland of his ancestors.3 His artistic endeavor in Japan was aspiritual, soul-searching journey—a quest for identity. Claywas his medium for this self-discovery. 

While in Japan, Noguchi dedicated himself to his homeland’srich culture, craft tradition, natural landscape, and ruralaesthetic. He worked alongside Japanese potters, learnedlocal ceramic techniques, styles and glazes, studied ancientJapanese sculpture and history, befriended writers and artists,and reconnected with relatives.  One of his greatest

fascinations was the prehistoric Japanese tomb sculpturescalled Haniwa, whose rustic, eroded qualities resonated in hisown designs. Another aspect of Japanese culture thatinformed his work was the integration of art with life.Describing this national philosophy, Japanese art historianYashiro Yukio writes, “Due to the Japanese peoples’ love ofcrafts, the various crafts do not develop separately from finearts as one sees in other nations; they are part of a total artaestheticizing people’s surrounding in daily life.”4 Noguchieschewed the Western ideal of “art for art’s sake” and soughtinstead to create pottery that would elevate art to a highersocial purpose.

Home was created in 1952 when Noguchi was living with hisJapanese wife in a rural hillside cottage in Kamakura, an arearich in religious and cultural history.5 Inspired by the region,he became preoccupied with philosophical ideas of ZenBuddhism and Japanese literary traditions, whose stories,imagery, and metaphors he translated into clay.

Despite his passion for Japanese culture, Noguchi nevercompletely abandoned the Western world of Modern art. Tothese deeply ingrained complex oriental ideals and oldJapanese aesthetics, he added concepts taken from Modernmovements such as Surrealism, Constructivism, architecturalforms, and stage designs, thereby giving his ceramics aricher, dualistic nature. He consciously saw himself as aninterpreter and his art the shared language between the Eastand West. When Japanese and American tensions were attheir highest around the time of the World War II, he sawthis as his duty and the fulfillment of his dual heritage.Noguchi poignantly stated, “I felt that if I could offer acontinuation of that bridge which is the common language ofart, I will have offered my part to the human outlook thatmust one day find all people together.”6

The image of the Mother and Childis one of the most enduring themesin Henry Moore’s oeuvre.  Within it,he found seemingly boundlessinspiration, returning to the subjecttime and time again over the many decades of his illustriouscareer.  Rife with subjective content and formal possibilities, themotif held sway over the artist whoonce described it as “one of my twoor three obsessions, one of myinexhaustible subjects. This mayhave something to do with the factthat the “Madonna and Child” wasso important in the art of the pastand that one loves the old mastersand has learned so much fromthem. But the subject itself is eternaland unending, with so manysculptural possibilities in it – a smallform in relation to a big form, thebig form protecting the small one,and so on.  It is such a rich subject,both humanly and compositionally,that I will always go on using it”.1

Though Moore’s work of the 1970swas dominated by large-scalesculpture, the present work isintimate in scope and engenders a

quiet and personal contemplation ofthe theme of maternity.  The motherand child are quite literally of thesame body, with the child’s headrising from the chest of the woman.Their heads mirror one another inpose, as both figures lookdownward, silent and peaceful.They exist as an organic whole.  But,it is the mother who roots themsolidly to the ground.  Her skirtrendered abstractly, as if a smoothstone, she is of the earth.  This

reference to nature is importantwithin Moore’s work, as he washeavily influenced by organic formsand often incorporated them into hisfigures. 

Iconic in its imagery and intimate inits scale, Seated Mother and Child isan exceptional work by a Modernmaster.

note:Created in 1965, the “Fragments”series consists of images whichRiley first conceived through studiesfor paintings such as ‘UneasyCentre,’ 1963 and ‘Intake,’ 1964. Apioneer of the Op-Art movement,Riley’s works of the 1960’s werealmost exclusively black and white,focusing the viewer’s attention onthe illusion of movement and energyachieved by lines that seeminglysweep, expand and contract. Of herpaintings of this period Rileycommented, “In each of them a

particular situation is stated. Certainelements within that situationremain constant, others precipitatethe destruction of themselves bythemselves. Recurrently, as a resultof the cyclic movement of repose,disturbance and repose, the originalsituation is restored” (the artist,cited in Exhibition Catalogue,London, Tate, Bridget Riley, 2003, p.15). The artist’s use of Plexiglas overpaper in this series accentuates thiseffect, rendering a glossy, hyper-contrasted surface.$18,000-22,000

Color lithograph, woodblock andscreenprint on Arches.image: 37 3/4 x 53 in. (95.8 x 134.5cm)sheet: 40 1/4 x 55 1/2 in. (102.2 x 140.9cm)[Corlett, 214; Gemini G.E.L., 1256]note:By the early 1960’s, artists like Jackson Pollock andother lions of Abstract Expressionism were gracing thecover of “LIFE” magazine, having achieved celebrity-level recognition both in the art world and in theaverage American home. Meanwhile, pop artists likeWarhol, Rosenquist and Lichtenstein were pivotingaway from the New York school’s style and seekinginspiration from ubiquitous public imagery, and finding

it in the form of comic strips, advertisements andbillboards. Lichtenstein, however, soon began to seethe style of Abstract Expressionism as itself a themeworthy of commentary, and he began creatingcompositions assembled of carefully constructed‘brushstrokes.’By the 1980’s, when “The River” was printed, Lichtenstein returned to this subject of thebrushstroke, and chose the historically traditional,perhaps clichéd composition of a landscape as hissubject. True to the Pop Art movement’s embrace ofmass production, the present work is a complex,multi-process print that renders further irony to theidea of a spontaneous, paint-laden gesture or bucolicsubject. There is, however, a certain degree of homageas well, to an all-over, color-filled composition whichlike its predecessors, conveys and celebratesmovement, color and a glorious natural landscape.$60,000-80,000
