Art, 1972-2001

ROBERT INDIANA

Painted aluminium.  182.9 x 182.9 x 91.4 cm. (72 x 72 x 36 in).   Incised with signature, date and manufacturer details '© 1972-2001 R INDIANA MILGO BROOKLYN NY' and numbered of four artist's proofs on the inside of the A. This work is from an edition of six plus four artist's proofs and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Often associated with the pop art movement of the 1960s, Robert (Clark) Indiana was not at its center. Rather, he staked out a more interesting artistic position embracing aspects of pop's subjects and techniques but also some of the other stylistic elements and formal concerns of art in that decade, such as minimalist and op art. On the one hand, his letters and numbers share much with the visual linguistics of Jasper Johns or the signs and labels of Andy Warhol. On the other, Indiana's power of formal abstraction and graphic design bring him close to the colourfield reductions of jack Youngerman, Ellsworth Kelly, and early Frank Stella. Indiana's art deserves closer attention not just for his impeccable modulations of figure and ground  - The expressive shape of Silhouette – but equally for his colour juxtapositions, at once so blatant yet paradoxically subtle. Finally, whatever inspiration he has found in commercial culture, one measure of his career's achievement has been his reciprocal and indelible impact on contemporary design, where the imitations of his style seldom match the perfections of his forms. (J.Wilmerding 'The Shape Of Meaning', Robert Indiana, NY, 2006)

Monster, 1996

DOUGLAS GORDON (b.1966)
chromogenic print
printed label with credit, title, date and edition '2/11' on backing board
34 x 50in.

Monster is a characteristically unsettling work by Gordon, a conceptual photographer who wilfully pushes to the limit the sensitivities of his audience and their expectation of what a photograph can be. Gordon -- Turner Prize winner in 1996 -- plays disconcertingly with notions of the fluid nature of identity and its potential transmutations. His pictures are permeated with dark, unquantifiable forces that draw on such sources as film noir and 'High Gothic' fiction.

Jet of Water

Francis Bacon
1988

Oil on canvas; 77 15/16 x 58 1/16 in. (198 x 147.5 cm)
Collection of Mr. and Mrs. J. Tomilson Hill

Indicatephn a red arrow, liquid bursts across an unpopulated industrial landscape, obscuring the indeterminate object contained in the transparent box - the familiar, perspectival "visual machine" Bacon invented at the beginning of his career. He produced this "Jet of Water" - originally meant to depict a wave - by flying white paint across the surface of the painting, perhaps a reference to American abstract expressionism.
