- Lot Description
Mark Kostabi (American, b. 1960). "Balancing Work and Pleasure" oil on canvas, 2020. Hand-signed and dated "Kostabi 2020" in pigment by the artist at lower left. A fabulous painting by Mark Kostabi, depicting a faceless nude female model in a studio, sitting upon a yellow cube with a yellow cup and saucer balanced upon her knees, a bright yellow vase presumably used for still life themes upon a lemon yellow cube-shaped table, and finally, the artist's presence indicated by two open paint tubes with pigment dripping onto a green tabletop joined by a jar of paintbrushes as well as a single paintbrush above the Kostabi's signature. Most striking is the faceless figure, a signature motif of Kostabi's oeuvre. "Why are the figures faceless? It's a universal language free of racial limitations, and a reflection of society's fear of individuality." (Source: Martin Lawrence Galleries press release, April 9, 2018). Size: 21" L x 14" W (53.3 cm x 35.6 cm) Size of frame: 30.25" L x 23.5" W (76.8 cm x 59.7 cm)
Mark Kostabi studied art at California State University, Fullerton and moved to New York City in 1982 where he quickly became a prominent figure in the art scene of the East Village. His art demonstrates influences of modern masters such as Fernand Leger and Giorgio de Chirico. His works have been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, The National Gallery in Washington D.C., the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Yale University Art Gallery, the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, Mitsukoshi Museum in Tokyo, as well as the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands.
