About the Seascapes Series: Sugimoto began his series of seascapes in 1980, traveling to remote oceans, seas and lakes around the world. Using his late-19th/early-20th century big box camera with black-and-white sheet film, he achieves high technical results with gradations and tonalities that make each photograph distinct and impeccably rich in detail. Perched on high cliffs, Sugimoto is able to look across the water and capture its vastness and mystery in a minimalist composition that relies solely on the water, the atmosphere, and the horizon line that precisely bisects his frame.
“My first view of the ocean came as an awakening,” Sugimoto writes, recalling his earliest and most vivid recollection of the sea, “I spied it from a Tokaido Line train, the seascape passing from left to right. It must have been autumn, because the sky had such vast, eye-opening clarity. We were riding high on a cliff, and the sea flickered far below like frames of a motion picture, only to disappear behind the rocks. The horizon line where the azure sea met the brilliant sky was razor sharp, like a samurai sword’s blade. Captivated by this startling yet oddly familiar scene, I felt I was gazing on a primordial landscape.”

Edgar Leciejewski, Straßentaube (Street Pigeon) #11.
Cibachrome print, 2003.
12 of an edition of 15.
Signed, titled, numbered and dated on verso.
About the Artist: Edgar Leciejewski (born 1977, Berlin) explores the various social and scientific uses of photography. His work employs an experimental, analytic approach to the medium of photography by using various techniques and media. Besides content-related issues and the reflection of his own work, he is interested in issues such as the rhetoric of the photographic series, the photographic genre, the composition, and how as much time can fit in a single photographic image. His pictures are repositories of time that allow for the slowing down of the act of seeing.
His work has been presented in several institutional solo exhibitions, such as at the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig (2018), G2 Kunsthalle (2018), Kunsthalle Memmingen (2018); Künstlerhaus Bethanien Berlin (2017); Forum für Fotografie Cologne (2017); Fogo Island Art Gallery, Canada (2015); NSCAD University Halifax, Canada (2013); Stadtmuseum München (2011); Columbus Art Foundation, Leipzig (2009).
He has participated in numerous international group exhibitions including Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt (2018, 2012); Scarp Metal, Toronto, Canada (2017); Brandts Museum, Denmark (2016); Stadtmuseum München (2016); Kunsthalle Leipzig (2015, 2014, 2008); G2 Kunsthalle Leipzig (2015); Museum für Angewandte Kunst, Frankfurt (2015); Kunsthalle Wien (2014, 2011); f/stop Festival, Leipzig (2016, 2014); National Museum Krakow (2013); Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (2013); Zabludowicz Collection London (2013, 2010, 2009); NRW Forum, Düsseldorf (2012); Witte de With, Rotterdam (2011); Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig (2011, 2009); ISCP New York (2010); Stadtgalerie Kiel (2008); Royal Accademy London (2007); Berlinische Galerie, Berlin (2002).
Leciejewski has received several grants such as NoYo artist residence in Toronto, Canada (2015); Fogo Island Arts Residency; Canada (2014); Artist in residence, NSCAD University, Halifax (2013); International Studio and Curatorial Program, New York (2010); British Institution Award, Royal Academy London (2007); Marianne Brandt Award, Chemnitz Germany (2004).
His work belongs to the collection of Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig; Zabludowicz Collection London; Sammlung Ann und Jürgen Wilde, Köln; Stiftung F.C. Gundlach, Hamburg & Sammlung F.C. Gundlach Hamburg; UBS Art Collection, Zürich; BESart, Coleccao Bancon Espirito Santo, Lisboa; Staatliche Kunstsammlung Dresden; Sammlung Leipziger Schule, Sparkasse Leipzig; Sammlung Hildebrandt G2 Kunsthalle Leipzig; Sammlung SØR Rusche, Oelde; Sammlung Münchener Stadtmuseum; Stiftung für zeitgenössische Fotografie, Köln and other private collections in Europe, the United States and Canada.
About Cibachrome prints: The cibachrome process (sadly no longer in use) produces photographic prints highly valued for their uniquely rich, saturated colors and increased archival stability over the traditional chromogenic processes. The super high gloss finish the process produces is closer to a showroom car than a photograph, making the print appear almost 3-D.
To get more technical, a cibachrome print is a high quality color print made from a color transparency enlarged directly onto reversal color paper. The paper is unique in that dyes are incorporated into the emulsion on the paper instead of being formed chemically. This gives exceptional color image brilliance. The paper is exposed to a transparency and the colors are recorded by complementary layers in the paper. Nan Goldin, for example, used the cibachrome process to print her 35 mm film as it contributed greatly to the sharp, bright quality of color in her prints.
Measurements: 20.25" H, 16.25" W, 1" D (framed)
Framing: This piece has been professionally framed by the artist in a white painted wood frame with archival UV plexiglass.
Reflections: Any inconsistencies seen in the images of the artwork are reflections from the plexiglass. The artwork itself is in excellent condition.

Large Hans Hokanson wood sculpture, titled ‘Hermaphrodite’.
New York, early 1970’s.
Solid walnut.
Measurements: 50” height, 39” width, 30” depth (approx.)
Provenance: From the collection of fashion designer, Carol Horn.
About the Artist: Hans Hokanson (1925 - 1997) was born and raised in Sweden before moving to the United States in 1951, settling in Northwest Creek, New York. Hokanson was originally a painter but the expansive forest surrounding his home inspired him to begin working in wood. He collected huge pieces of elm and walnut from stumps and fallen trees. His early carvings were machinelike assemblages that evoked cogs, spindles, and wheels. These developed into more organic forms, which coincided with his move to the Hamptons in 1967 where he discovered fallen elm and walnut from trees on his property. Hokanson's work is represented in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Smithsonian American Art Museum, The Brooklyn Museum, Storm King Art Center, The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and others.

SOLD.
17th century portrait of a young Spanish girl.
Oil on canvas. Artist unknown.
We’re drawn to many different eras and historical styles, while always trying to find their relevance in our contemporary world. At first glance this painting could look like just another ‘old master’ however, we were drawn to the strong, triangular composition of the young girl with darkness closing in around her. This makes this painting feel surprisingly modern. The subject’s gaze is powerful and arresting, and we love the contrast of her rosy cheeks and red flowers with the darkness which surrounds her.
17th century, Spain.
Condition: Excellent Condition. Relined for stability.
Framing: Archivally framed by high-end New York based custom framer, Joseph Brentano, in a black Flemish frame. The frame has been ebonized, hand polished and waxed.
Measurements (framed): 24" H, 21.25" W, 1.75" D

They are in original condition without any restoration and are in an almost perfect state.

About the Seascapes Series: Sugimoto began his series of seascapes in 1980, traveling to remote oceans, seas and lakes around the world. Using his late-19th/early-20th century big box camera with black-and-white sheet film, he achieves high technical results with gradations and tonalities that make each photograph distinct and impeccably rich in detail. Perched on high cliffs, Sugimoto is able to look across the water and capture its vastness and mystery in a minimalist composition that relies solely on the water, the atmosphere, and the horizon line that precisely bisects his frame.

Rare Claude Conover Sculpture of Girl with Ponytail.
Glazed stoneware with clay slip.
Signed Claude Conover on base.
Claude Conover (1907 - 1994, American) mixed his own stoneware clay and invented his own unique way of constructing his pieces using slabs of clay and plaster molds to create two matching hemispheres which he would join together before covering the whole surface in a custom-made white slip. After the piece hardened he added texture and pattern with his own handmade tools and bisque-fired slay rollers.
He said little about his art, it was a subject he refused to discuss, the others being religion and politics. “I do not believe the artist should try to make a profound statement or explain his work. The object must speak for itself.”
His work can be found in museums across the country, including the Museum of Arts and Design, New York, The Cleveland Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC.

About the Seascapes Series: Sugimoto began his series of seascapes in 1980, traveling to remote oceans, seas and lakes around the world. Using his late-19th/early-20th century big box camera with black-and-white sheet film, he achieves high technical results with gradations and tonalities that make each photograph distinct and impeccably rich in detail. Perched on high cliffs, Sugimoto is able to look across the water and capture its vastness and mystery in a minimalist composition that relies solely on the water, the atmosphere, and the horizon line that precisely bisects his frame.
“My first view of the ocean came as an awakening,” Sugimoto writes, recalling his earliest and most vivid recollection of the sea, “I spied it from a Tokaido Line train, the seascape passing from left to right. It must have been autumn, because the sky had such vast, eye-opening clarity. We were riding high on a cliff, and the sea flickered far below like frames of a motion picture, only to disappear behind the rocks. The horizon line where the azure sea met the brilliant sky was razor sharp, like a samurai sword’s blade. Captivated by this startling yet oddly familiar scene, I felt I was gazing on a primordial landscape.”
