- Lot Description
Adolph Gottlieb (American, 1903-1974). "Night Glow" color etching and aquatint on Fabriano paper, 1971. Signed, dated, and numbered 40/65 in pencil on lower margin. A stunning piece by American Abstract Expressionist Adolph Gottlieb - among the artist's "Bursts" in which he simplified his imagery and zeroed in on "basic sets of polarities within the image." According to the Associated American Artists, "While the discs pulsate in the upper portion of the Bursts, configurations of brush strokes erupt below. Deeply bitten arc-like surfaces of the brush strokes . . . suggest a more unpredictable and violent action than the glowing pulsations of the discs . . . Gottlieb (1903-1974) posits two vital and opposing forces. And while each has the potential to subsume the other, he has discovered a unifying structure that allows them to function in a relationship of complementary equilibrium." (Associated American Artists 66) Size of image: 24" L x 17.5" W (61 cm x 44.4 cm) Size of frame: 35.25" L x 27.25" W (89.5 cm x 69.2 cm)
Adolph Gottlieb was a founding member of two groups of abstract artists: "The Ten" as well as "The New York Artist Painters" which included Mark Rothko, George L.K. Morris, and John Graham. He and Rothko wrote a letter to Edward Alden Jewell, the art editor of the New York Times, on June 7, 1943 that is generally considered to be the first formal statement representing the philosophy of the Abstract Expressionists.
Gottlieb's Pictographs, including his "Imaginary Landscapes" and "Bursts" among others, have been collected by esteemed museums since 1946. In addition, Clement Greenberg curated a Gottlieb retrospective exhibition in 1952; there was another at the Jewish Museum in New York in 1956, a survey at The Walker Art Center in 1963, and a joint retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Guggenheim Museum in 1968. Remarkably, his art was presented in 55 solo exhibitions and more then 400 group exhibitions. Honors include being the first American to win the Grande Premio of the Bienal de Sao Paolo (1963).
