Alice Baber Untitled 1970 Signed & Numbered Color Lithograph Unframed Alice Baber Untitled, 1970 Lithograph on Arches paper 28 x 21 3/4 inches Edition of 100 Signed and numbered “Baber 58/100” lower left in pencil Provenance Constance Kane (1930-2021), New York Condition The Baber lithograph has a small tear measuring approximately 1/4 inch on lower left margin and several minor fox marks lower right margin. Overall in excellent condition as it has been carefully stored since originally published. Legendary abstract color field Artist Alice Baber and Constance Kane were friends and colleagues for over 3 decades. Constance Kane first met Alice Baber in the late 1950’s and the two women forged a life-long friendship. Constance Kane was a respected authority on contemporary art; Constance was an early pioneer of providing art lectures accompanied with slides to collectors and interested parties and was a regular lecturer at The New School and The Metropolitan Museum. Constance also organized art gallery tours with groups of 10 to 15 at New York City galleries for various organizations including Brandeis University as well as her own art groups that were attended by interested parties who purchased a “season” of tours. Constance lectured on a wide variety of artists and movements in the 60’s including Pop Art, Op Art as well as 20 century masters including all the greats. Constance had a robust close relationship with many important 20 century art world icons including esteemed Art Critics David Sylvester and Clement Greenberg, Museum of Modern Art Curator Peter Seltz, fine art author and Mark Tobey authority, Paul Cummings, Dada Founder Dr. Richard Hulsenbeck, Artists Adolph Gottlieb, James Rosenquist, Henry Pearson, Will Barnett, Louise Nevelson, Paul Jenkins, Budd Hopkins, Susan Rothenberg, Robert Ryman and dozens more. Constance Kane was well known and respected in the art world and a legend for hosting fabulous cocktail parties that were attended by many of these illuminates. It was Constance who introduced Alice Baber to Abstract Expressoinalist Artist Paul Jenkins whom Baber married June 16, 1964. “In the work of Alice Baber, the overall surface of her patterns is composed of intimate rhythms reflecting the artist’s sensibilities, rhythms so complex that they become forms which surpass the obvious definitions.” Jonathan Ingersoll in Exh. Cat., St. Mary’s City, St. May’s College of Maryland Gallery, Alice Baber – Color, Light and Image, February – March 1977, n.p. Georgia O’Keeffe, Music, Pink and Blue No. 2, 1918. Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Art © 2023 Georgia O’Keeffe Museum / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York Alice Baber and Constance Kane, August 1967 Constance Kane and Alice Baber, New York 1962 Alice Baber, Wind Divided Mist the Darker sold for $698,500., Sotheby’s New York, Lot 1, September 28 Interest in Alice Baber’s work and influence has showed no signs of slowing, securing an auction record $698,500., at Sotheby’s New York. From Sotheby’s Catalogue Description: Rendered in vivid jewel-toned hues, Alice Baber’s Wind Divided Mist the Darker from 1972 is a triumphant example of the artist’s mastery of color. Described by Joseph Masheck upon its exhibition debut “something like a color-field work seen through a kaleidoscope” marked by cool, fluid gestures across a reverberating sea of organic form (Joseph Masheck, “IX Painters,” Artforum, vol. 11, no. 8, April 1973, p. 82). Wind Divided Mist the Darker presents Baber’s work before her significant adoption of black pigment, as she swore against using the color until the mid-1970s, instead employing deep indigo pools as the richest points of contrast. Created using her signature staining method of applying diluted paint with linen rags, Wind Divided Mist the Darker possesses the ability to conjure vividly organic scenes through an ethereal and atmospheric dispersion of color.Having been recently rediscovered after years out of the public eye, Baber’s Wind Divided Mist the Darker cements the artist’s rightful place as a pioneer among the most renowned Color Field painters. “The most remarkable aspect of Baber’s work is the way she blends dissimilar elements. Her spectrum color is pure and ideal, like mathematics. Her modest ameboid shapes are like nature – vital, primal, potential, like unicellular life. Each element transforms the other yet simultaneously functions in a direct and unimpeded fashion.” Al Brunelle in Art in America, July – August 1975, in Exh. Cat., St. Mary’s City, St. May’s College of Maryland Gallery, Alice Baber – Color, Light and Image, February – March 1977, n.p. Helen Frankenthaler, Tutti-Fruitti, 1966. Buffalo AKG Art Museum. Art © 2023 Helen Frankenthaler / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York While Baber used a variety of abstract forms in her work, she preferred the elongated circles present in Wind Divided Mist the Darker, as she believed they imparted the greatest sense of motion across the composition. Wrapping a linen rag around her fingers, Baber gently caressed her canvas with translucent, spectral color over a luminous white ground, forming the irregular elliptical shapes of roughly similar sizes. More transparent at their centers as a result of Baber’s laborious, time-intensive process, the forms have a breathtaking effect of buoyancy and cluster in rhythmic configurations that flood the entire work with a pulse of unified feeling. Radiant blues emanate along dazzling areas of rich pinks and scarlet, vibrating with brilliant effects. Although color, shape, and light were crucial to Baber’s work, she also emphasized the interplay between positive and negative space. “I often paint a painting until it tells me to stop, and sometimes the white ground still shows,” she once said. “In most cases, I try to make the white ground either a pattern, so that it can be both negative and positive space, or if not that, perhaps an atmospheric wind moving the other colors and shapes around.” This is a GUARANTEED Authentic Signed & Numbered ALICE BABER lithograph.
