Life’s Work of Ronald Carvell Meaux Tops $10,000 at Gray’s Auctioneers

Cleveland, Ohio – July 2, 2012 – Gray’s Auctioneers Llc,

Life’s Work of Ronald Carvell Meaux Tops $10,000 at Gray’s Auctioneers

Gray’s Auctioneers in Cleveland, Ohio is thrilled to announce the results of sale for the life’s work and collection of a previously unknown, self-taught, Cleveland artist, Ronald Carvell Meaux, whose introduction to the art market sparked international interest and fiercely competitive bidding at Gray’s June 27^th auction.

Sold in group lots of artfully selected works, Meaux’s portfolio of imagery secured hammer prices that well exceeded estimates and expectations for this previously, completely unknown artist. Meaux’s lyrical abstractions express the pathos of an embattled, homosexual, African American man struggling with his identity in a Midwestern city in the 1960s. Featuring such fantastic titles as Bacchanale with Telepathic Window and The Metamorphosis and Influence of an Ancient Demi-God or Aphrodite Feigning Virginity, Summer 1965, his dynamically expressive paintings and works on paper are a revelation of the artist’s personal demons.

Meaux passed away in a state of total reclusion in 2012, with neither friends nor family to take on his final expenses. Gray’s is currently working with the consignor and local authorities to see that the proceeds from the artist’s exceptional auction performance are used to finally and properly put Meaux’s body to rest, bringing dignity to the passing of this late, great Cleveland artist.

Its dynamics and characteristics are in the excess, in the static or nell'incompiuto. In these cities migrations and transformations are self-generated.

The Art of Dr. Seuss - Rare Editions Event

The Art of Dr. Seuss   RARE EDITIONS EVENT Animazing Gallery July 14th - August 19th, 2012 Exhibition Features Rare Editions from "The Art of Dr. Seuss" collection

NEW YORK, NY - From July 14th through August 19th, Animazing Gallery of SoHo will present "The Art of Dr. Seuss - Rare Editions Event." Celebrating the artistic legacy of Theodor Seuss Geisel, twenty-four of the most sought-after artworks will be presented at the gallery with recent releases from The Art of Dr. Seuss collection, offering a rare opportunity for visitors to view and experience one of the largest selections of authorized estate editions ever assembled. This exhibition offers an insider's view of the extraordinary imagery reproduced from Dr. Seuss's private collection of paintings and sculptures created throughout his 70 years of artistic innovation. Exhibition curator, William Dreyer is available for phone interviews at (847-564-2000 ext. 26).    About the Exhibition For over 70 years, Theodor Seuss Geisel's illustrations brought a visual realization to his fantastic imaginary worlds. However, his artistic talent went far beyond the printed page. Ted Geisel's "Secret Art," the paintings and sculptures created at night for his own personal enjoyment, were rarely exhibited during his lifetime. Seuss always dreamed of sharing these works with his fans and had entrusted his wife, Audrey, to carry out his wishes once he was gone. Audrey, too, believed the work deserved further recognition and that Ted himself would one day be evaluated not only as an author, but also as an artist in his own right. In 1997, this dream was realized when The Art of Dr. Seuss project was launched. For the first time, collectors were able to see and acquire artworks reproduced from Geisel's original drawings, paintings and sculpture. Audrey Geisel (Mrs. Dr. Seuss) remarked in 2010, "It is with great pleasure that I share Ted, his art, his imagination, and his boundless creativity. I'm gratified to carry out Ted's wishes and have these works revealed to the world." Since the historic launch of this project, over thirty editions of Arabic numbers have sold-out, fifteen others are quickly approaching sell-out. This exhibition presents the largest selection of rare estate editions ever assembled. Artworks from this collection have toured to galleries and museums around the world, establishing Dr. Seuss as a significant artist of the 20th Century. It is with great pleasure that we share with you the artistic legacy of Theodor Seuss Geisel.

About the Artist: Theodor Seuss Geisel (American, 1904-1991) Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, began his career as a little known editorial cartoonist in the 1920's. His intriguing perspective and fresh concepts ignited his career, and his work evolved quickly to deft illustrations, modeled sculpture and sophisticated oil paintings of elaborate imagination. Dr. Seuss is currently best known as one of the most beloved and bestselling children's authors of all time, having written and illustrated classics such as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and How The Grinch Stole Christmas! Geisel was also a political cartoonist for PM magazine during World War II, as well as a contributing illustrator for Vanity Fair and Life.  He had a long, successful advertising career, he was an Academy Award winner for his wartime documentaries, as well as his animated short film, "Gerald McBoing Boing." Today his paintings hang in fine art galleries along side Old and Contemporary Masters including Picasso, Warhol, Rembrandt, Miro and others.   His unique artistic vision emerged as the golden thread which linked every facet of his varied career, and his artwork became the platform from which he delivered 44 children's books, over 400 World War II political cartoons, hundreds of advertisements, and countless editorials filled with wonderfully inventive animals, characters and clever humor. Geisel single-handedly forged a new genre of art that falls somewhere between the Surrealist Movement of the early 20th Century and the inspired nonsense of a child's classroom doodles.   About Animazing Gallery A landmark gallery in SoHo since 1984, Animazing exhibits a unique collection of original and limited edition animation and illustration artwork that indulges the senses and emotions with color & playfulness. Exclusive collections include art & sculpture by great American illustrators, such as Tim Burton, Theodor Geisel, Charles M Schulz, & Maurice Sendak.

Richard Prince: Pre-Appropriation Works

Richard Prince: Pre-Appropriation Works, 1973-1974

Exhibition from Saturday July 7 to Saturday September 1, 2012

Opening on Saturday July 7, 2012 from 6 pm to 9 pm 

mfc-michèle didier’s first year in Paris comes to an end with a light summer show, but nonetheless exceptional, the exhibition Richard Prince: Pre-Appropriation Works, 1973-1974.

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to come see Richard Prince’s early works from Saturday July 7 until Saturday September 1, 2012. The opening will take place Saturday July 7 from 6 pm to 9 pm. 

Richard Prince, internationally known American artist, particularly famous for his re-photographed Marlboro’s advertisements and for his series of Nurse paintings, is an expert in appropriation art and probably the artist who counts best America’s fin de siècle. 

However, the focus of the exhibition is put here on the years «before the appropriation», and more precisely on the years 1973 and 1974. The works shown at the gallery were collected in the early seventies by Angus Whyte, Richard Prince’s first art dealer. Etchings, collages, monoprints, drawings and letters are examples of the techniques the young Prince has experimented. 

On one hand, Flavored Letters, written in 1974, can be considered as Mail Art, an artistic movement that many of the artists of this era have practiced; Richard Prince showed a significant interest in researching the artistic expressions of his time. 

On the other hand, transfer technique, the intermediate process between the collected and the distributed image, is recurring in his work, almost systematic. This clearly announces what appeared later: Richard Prince’s trademark, appropriation. 

These early researches testify to the artist’s integration in conceptual concerns of this time and prefigure works that will make Richard Prince an artist with a remarkable individuality. The exhibition Richard Prince: Pre-Appropriation Works, 1973-1974 enables us to discover the premises of Richard Prince’s art, back to the origin of his creation.

We warmly thank Angus Whyte and David Platzker for their close collaboration in the development of this exhibition.

For more information about the exhibition, please contact us by email info@micheledidier.com or by phone + 33 1 71 97 49 13. 

The gallery will be closed from August 7 to 22, 2012 included. From August 23 to September 1, the gallery will adopt a summer schedule, which means that it will be open from Thursday to Saturday, from 12 am to 7 pm.

"A chaos theory", Bari - June 18, 2012

The exhibition "chaos theory" defines, through the intervention of four artists, a system of forces and connections in which signs, architecture and visual geometries sound contribute to the production of an immersive environment, a total work in of a dynamic system.

Press: It's LIQUID ( www.itsliquid.com )

The exhibition draws up a formula for aesthetic-visual interaction between content and structural principles. The nature of the work relates the basic terms of painting and sculpture balances chaotic, energetic tensions, relationship between space and perception, between surface and structure. Through a rigorous and systematic, "A chaos theory" analyzes the continuity between static and motion between entropy and mass production, between order and turmoil, with reference to recent surveys of cybernetics on the links between mind and machine, between the organic and the electrical, between the skin and the real world.

"The four artists in the exhibition have been called to discuss the interpretation of chaos. Corbascio Danielaworks in the chaos of his childhood reminiscences, recovering the material, wood, worked in the procession of time, within which stands a bright spot, his personal order in the chaos of memory. poised installation that would escape the confines of space, just as he did with time, and take refuge in the disorder. The artist draws from the past to revive in the present and, why not, in the future takes and puts in place, system, he adds, removes and empties, to give the viewer the opportunity to fill the space with its own memory.
Louis Giandonato breaks into white order of Murat room with three large paintings at the sight of which the visitor stays at the same time fascinated and dumbfounded. Signs confused, do not give a pause to the incessant white canvas, overwhelmed by endless colors and shapes through which Giandonato draws his world (order) chaotic it hostile to the untrained eye. At first glance the paintings appear to be a "skein" difficult to unravel, however, approaching, in particular, one can find a geometric order and mental. The paintings communicate with the installations to which we turn in a dialogue in which the viewer is

inserted and forced to take part.
To create further confusion we think the young Dutch artist Berdnault Smilde and Swiss Zimoun. The first is in contrast to the majesty and the field works and Corbascio Giandonato, presenting a work that not only is the total dematerialization of the art but of nature itself. Create a cloud in indoor ephemeral representation of what could be more than just the concept art of today. Perhaps it is this great truth to upset the viewer, confusing the mind and the few certainties about art that had accrued up to that point. E 'for excellence that chaos reigns nell'idrometeora consists of minute particles of water and ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere that make the work for only 10 seconds.
The exhibition closes with an impressive work of the Swiss Zimoun. A wall stands 5 meters to define this chaotic space so neatly, so linear and "clean" you acknowledge that little room with Murat. A modular wall, really lightweight, made ​​of cardboard boxes on which they move without order and without rest 250 scooters. Artmicamente, in a chaos of sound that accompanies the other continuous, quiet, works on display. "Maria Fausta Bolettieri, curator.

The works

Daniela Corbascio intervenes in the environment by providing a powerful modular wood, and repeatedly ordered arrangement of linear forms, placed in a precarious and unstable equilibrium. Louis Giandonatoprovides analysis of the linguistic sign and large monochrome canvases in opposition to the iron sculptures, large lattice cages that hold intangible items. Berndnaut Smilde operates a total dematerialisation of physical and visual elements: the exhibition space will host the indoor cloud, a cloud floating in the room Murat. Zimouncloses the scene through the intervention of sound installation that generates vibrations and chaotic noise produced by hundreds of motorbikes waving steel cables, it disrupts the mass production and mechanical control system.
