Celebrating the theme of love, Dane Fine Art will start its Solstice Sale of Modern & Contemporary Art with Damien Hirst’s Heart Spin Painting (2009). It is an acrylic on paper piece created with public collaboration at the Damien Hirst Spin Workshop to celebrate the opening of Requiem at the Pinchuk Art Centre, Ukraine. Hirst intends the viewers to be face to face with things that are generally dismissed or avoided, like death. Contrary to what he normally creates, the available artwork is a colorful take on a heart with streaks of light and dark shades, seemingly moving inwards and outwards. Another lot leading the fine art category is Le The au Jardin by Louis Icart. It is an oil on canvas, hand signed in paint by the artist.
Gertrude Stein is a three-dimensional lithograph on BFK Rives in a Plexiglas box by Red Grooms. Created in 1975, it is a rare limited AP edition published by Brooke Alexander Inc. It is hand signed. Gertrude Stein (American, 1874 – 1946) was a key figure in Modernism in art and literature. She gave up a career in medicine at Johns Hopkins to follow her dreams of becoming a writer and an artist. Stein was a host and a sanctuary for writers like James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. In 1933, Stein published a quasi-memoir of her Paris years, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, a tribute to her lifelong partner Alice. This book became a literary bestseller and vaulted Stein from the cult-literature scene into the limelight. This Solstice Sale of Modern & Contemporary Art will also offer artworks by Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and others.
