- Lot Description
Item 1: Charles Roger "Red" Grooms (American/Tennessee, b.1937) early ink or watercolor painting on paper depicting a running female figure shown in profile with arms outstretched, c. 1955-60. Signed "C Grooms," lower right. Floated under glass in a distressed, silvered wood frame with cream mat. Sheet: 7 1/2" H x 5 1/2" W. Framed: 11 1/2" H x 9 1/8" W. Note: This extremely early painting by Nashville native Red Grooms would likely have been executed when Grooms was enrolled at the Art Institute of Chicago or soon afterwards. He would go on to study at the New School in New York, Peabody College in Nashville, and Hans Hoffman's school in Provincetown, Mass. before abandoning formal art education altogether and embarking on the colorful and often satirical cultural commentaries for which he is best known. Grooms was honored with the National Academy of Design's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003 and he was the subject of a 1984 mid-career retrospective exhibition held at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Grooms's work can be found in public collections across the United States, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, as well as in many international museums. (Biographical information from the Johnson Collection). Item 2: Miniature white and brown chalk drawing of the head of a young woman tilted downward and in three-quarters view. Illegibly signed in ped pen, lower right. Housed in a distressed gilt and natural wood frame. Sight: 3" H x 2 1/4" W. Framed: 6" H x 5 1/8" W.
Condition
Both items in overall very good condition. 1st item with possible repaired pinholes to upper corners and minor, possibly inherent staining to extreme lower left edge of sheet. Not examined outside of frames.
