Gabrielle Montald (born Canivet) (Brussels, 1867-1942) Decorative bird, 1929 Gouache and ink over gold ground on paper 61.5 x 46 cm (sheet) 64 x 48 cm (framed) Signed and dated lower right ‘G. Montald 29’ Provenance: private collection, Belgium Related works: Among Gabrielle Montald’s most significant autonomous bodies of work, the so-called 'Oiseau décoratif series' occupies a central position. Although the motif appears as early as 1914, the majority of these works were produced between 1925 and the early 1930s. Following her international recognition at the 1925 'Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris', where her imaginative bird drawings were prominently exhibited, the series expanded in both scope and refinement. In 1927, three of the works shown in Paris were acquired by the Belgian government, marking the beginning of an institutional recognition that endures to this day. Rarely appearing on the market, a large part of Gabrielle Montald’s known oeuvre, including her textiles and bookbindings, is now preserved in Belgian museum collections.

The Upright Motives were part of a large commission for the courtyard of the new Olivetti building in Milan. When he visited the site, 'a lone Lombardy poplar growing behind the building convinced me that a vertical work would act as the correct counterfoil to the horizontal rhythm of the building. This idea ultimately grew into the: Upright Motifs.'

Tom Wesselmann (Cincinnati 1931-2004 New York) Long Beach Seascape, 1991/95 Alkyd oil on cut-out aluminum 99.1 x 190.5 cm Signed and dated on the back Provenance: the estate of the artist Tom Wesselmann’s creative approach was in constant evolution throughout his long and productive career. Never one to follow artistic convention, he continually sought new materials and formats. His fascination with innovative surfaces and technologically advanced techniques drove him to push aesthetic and formal frontiers, as seen in 'Long Beach Seascape'. In the 1980s, Wesselmann developed a laser cutting technique that opened up a new world of creative possibilities. Using this novel method, the artist delighted in transposing his bold visual vocabulary into works that challenged the boundaries between painting, drawing, and sculpture. Speaking to the New York Times in 1985, Wesselmann couldn’t contain his enthusiasm for the new medium: 'I've just had the best year of my life [...] I always work in a kind of near ecstasy, anyway, but there's really been something about the new work that grabbed me.'' Centering dynamic line and vibrant colour, 'Long Beach Seascape' demonstrates the artist’s endless pursuit of radical forms of creative expression.
