- Lot Description
"CHARLES ROGERS GROOMS (Nashville, USA, 1937). "Elephant," 2001. Polychromed metal. Signed. Provenance: Gallery Marlborough. Measures:80 x 74 x 25 cm. Charles Rogers Grooms or Red Grooms is an American multimedia artist, based in New York. He attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and during a summer he enrolled in the school of fine arts of Hans Hofmann, the contemporary of the classics Rothko, Kooning or Kline. There he met the pioneer of experimental animation Yvonne Andersen, with whom he collaborated on several short films. His sculptures, paintings and three-dimensional models are known worldwide, and are part of 39 museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, among others. In 2003 he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Design. In the late 1950s, Grooms was exploring his artistic limits and presented a series of happenings in his New York studio. But by 1959 he changed his trajectory towards more figurative techniques, inventing the "sculpture-pictoramas", such as the one presented in our auction. A mix between sculptural installation and painting, which would eventually become her signature art. Although deeply rooted in American culture, this circus-themed work by Grooms, so vibrant, with the somewhat chaotic yet engaging energy, conveys a sense of humor and an appreciation of human nature that is universally understood. Over the course of his nearly 70-year career, Grooms' work has met with mixed comparisons to William Hogarth, Honore Daumier, and Marcel Duchamp.
