Auction PreviewAnselm Reyle’s Mixed Media With Foil Artwork and Aaron Gorson’s Nocturne Painting Highlight Concept Art Gallery’s Upcoming Sale
Born in Berlin, German artist Anselm Reyle is celebrated for his found-object sculptures and large-scale paintings. By alienating materials such as tinted foils from their context, he masks their original functions in a new setting. His renowned foil paintings are a series of abstract works crafted using foil installed in colored Perspex boxes. The upcoming sale, presented by Concept Art Gallery, will feature Reyle’s Untitled mixed media with foil on canvas in acrylic box. It is signed on the verso of the canvas. The dynamic surface highlights the spatial presence with the folded foil contrasting with the rigid box frame. Aaron Harry Gorson’s striking oil painting on canvas also leads the listings. It is a nocturne steelmaking scene on the Monongahela River, signed “A. H. Gorson” in the lower left. It depicts the magic of smelting chimneys, glowing lights, and clouds of smoke. The American artist was well known for his characteristic industrial landscapes. He expressed his love for the nocturnal beauty of Pittsburgh through these lyrical paintings.

Auction PreviewAdolph Gottlieb’s Imaginary Landscape and Malvina Hoffman’s 1913 Bronze Sculpture Lead Art, Design, Jewelry and Antiques Auction
Adolph Gottlieb (1903 - 1974) was an Abstract Expressionist painter, sculptor, and printmaker. He formed lifelong friendships with artists Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, David Smith, Milton Avery, and John Graham. In the 1960s, Gottlieb simplified imagery usage to create his Burst and Imaginary Landscape paintings. In a 1967 interview, he said, “Everything is part of nature, I just paint from my personal feelings, and my reflexes and instincts. I have to trust these.” Imaginary Landscape No. 1 is a 1957 gouache and ink work by Adolph Gottlieb available in the Art, Design, Jewelry and Antiques auction, presented by Concept Gallery. Black and white colors dominate the painting while carrying the weight of all the emotions and duality the artist was trying to express through abstract dots and lines. La Frileuse (Shivering Girl), executed in 1913 by Malvina Hoffman (1885 - 1966), is also a leading lot. It is a cast bronze sculpture with a lotus base as a fountain with seven slots. The lotus base is attached to a newer marble base with the artist's name inscribed. The figure alone measures 39 inches tall. The bronze sculpture comes with a lengthy typed letter from the artist to the consignor, signed and dated February 1965. The letter recounts the making of the sculpture: "I came across the photo the other day of this little girl posing for this statue in my first studio in New York, and I must say the picture proved that this pose was a natural and easy one for the child.” Among jewelry lots, an 18-karat white gold diamond ring, featuring a prong-set 2.04-carat, round brilliant-cut diamond with I color, SI2 clarity is notable. The central diamond is surrounded by six diamond baguettes, four straight baguettes, and two tapered baguettes.

Auction PreviewThaddeus G. Mosley’s Wooden Sculpture and Kenneth Noland’s Acrylics on Canvas Highlight Concept Art Gallery’s Upcoming Sale
Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, sculptor Thaddeus G. Mosley works in wood to transform it into ingenious abstract forms. His designs are influenced by both ancient and avant-garde cultures across the world. Largely a self-taught artist, Mosley sources wood from sawmills, reclaimed buildings and local forests, repurposing it into inventive monumental creations. The upcoming Concept Art Gallery sale will feature Mosley’s Blues for Pablo (2013), a cherry wood sculpture carved in three pieces. The sculpture is signed with the artist's conjoined monogram on the lower base. The biomorphic design was created using a mallet, chisel, and skillful carving techniques. Another noteworthy sculpture in the auction is Dave McGary’s The Honor Dress. The painted bronze sculpture is part of McGary’s Native American Woman series. Measuring 23 by 18 by 13 inches, the piece features a cast signature. Kenneth Noland’s Doors: Carving the Rock (1989) also leads the fine art listings. The acrylic on canvas is mounted to a wood panel with color Plexiglass. Kenneth Noland was a renowned American Color Field painter who stained the canvas with colors instead of painting with brushstrokes.
