Silent Auction Lots

A silent auction of over 95 works on paper will take place during the Artspace gala from 5:00 to 6:45 PM. The prints, drawings, and photographs from local and regional artists that will be up for auction can be viewed at Artspace beginning April 1st. Each lot will open at roughly half of its estimated value and patrons will have the opportunity to bid throughout the duration of the exhibit, as well as on the night of the gala. This silent auction will feature staggered closing times, giving guests an opportunity to focus their attention on various sections of the gallery as the event draws to a close.

    Estimated Value: $600

    • Click for more info on this work

      To make Untitled (Palms), artist Jerry Blackman began by mixing himself an exotic drink. Using the bottom of the class to stain a napkin, Blackman then utilized the illusionistic potential of the “print” to create a scene. Here, he depicts the sun setting over a pale pink horizon; the ephemeral and the constant, the abject and the sublime, and the real and the fantasy are all resolved into a single image. It is a representation, he writes, “Of a solitary, lonely drinker dreaming and doodling of a paradise made from a stain.”

    Untitled from (Seven "Buoy Portraits)
    digital c-print
    10" x 8"
    Estimated Value: $400

    • Click for more info on this work

      "Buoy Portraits" is a series of 100 individual lobster pot buoys collected along the shores of Long Island and Rhode Island. Each buoy documented is essentially the portrait of the lobsterman who drops his traps. Each buoy is unique in its shape, size, color, markings and weathering (much like the faces of the lobsterman.) Lobstermen are often recognized and identified by their buoys even if you have never met them in person. The buoys also represent personal property and livelihood and are meant to protect and identify the fishermen's most precious and vital source of income. Essentially, the buoys are portraits of the Lobstermen themselves. When finally photographed, all of the 100 buoys were strung together into a large floating strand and dragged behind the artist as he swam among the currents and swells off the coast of Rhode Island in a sculptural performance entitled, "Water Drawing."

  • Jaclyn Conley

    Lot #15
    Flotus Hug Study 3
    oil on paper
    9" x 9"
    Estimated Value: $650

    • Click for more info on this work

      The source image for FLOTUS Hug 3 is a 2012 Official White House photo depicting First Lady Michelle Obama and a young participant of a “Let’s Move!” event at Winfield House in London, England. Tightly cropped and largely abstracted, Conley is interested in the close interaction between figures, uniquely characteristic of Mrs. Obama among historic political figures.

      Flotus Hug Study 3 is part of the series “All The President’s Children” in which Conley focuses on images of First Ladies and Presidents embracing young children, sourced from the Presidential Library Archives. These photographs are generally staged photo-ops that are tied up in the political ideology of family values and national identity. Conley is inherently suspicious of the images but also genuinely wants to believe in this vision of hope and unity. She imagines that they are genuine, warm moments between individuals, motherly or paternal, within a political context. With gestural and heavily loaded brushwork the image becomes fragmented and unique individuals are reduced to intertwining shapes and marks which both merge together and resist one another. Although ruminating on the unique history of the American Family, at their most basic these paintings describe the visceral weight and pressure of forms resting heavily on one another.

    Estimated Value: $1,200

    • Click for more info on this work

      Born in Syria, raised in Saudi Arabia, and educated in the United States, artist and architect Mohamad Hafez navigates his multinational identity through his sculptural and photorealistic streetscapes. As he describes, they are “architectural in their appearance yet politically charged in their content,” and contrast the violence of war with the optimism of the future.

      Hafez highlights his Middle Eastern heritage through the inclusion of Arabic text and Islamic patterning in his works. Here, the text reads “O soul, do not be saddened. O heart, remain joyful. We have come as visitors to this life, and life…is a day trip in the sea.”

  • Elana Herzog

    Lot #41
    Untitled (2015)
    paper pulp and textile
    14" x 11"
    Estimated Value: $2,000

    • Click for more info on this work

      After two decades creating architectural installations out of obdurate materials (stapling and ripping fabric into hard, vertical supports), artist Elana Herzog now draws and collages with fiber and paper, creating small-scale, two-dimensional works that build a new paper-architecture that is both light and strong. Each piece is as unique as a thumbprint, a self-contained world that is at once vast and intimate.

      Herzog first began working with paper in 2008, when she was awarded a residency at Dieu Donne Paper in New York. “Paper is something that I had always understood to be flat, rectangular, dry, and monochromatic,” she writes. “Suddenly it was a liquid that could be poured, mixed, layered, and played with.” She was especially fascinated by the cycles of construction and destruction that go into making paper, since the material is created by breaking down textiles and then refashioning them into a finished product. That process echoes Herzog’s own artistic process, which also involves breaking down, deconstructing, and tearing apart materials in order to create something new.

  • Susan Higgins

    Lot #42
    What is your weight and lucky number? 1/5
    c-print 1 of 5
    19" x 13"
    Estimated Value: $425

    • Click for more info on this work

      Susan Higgins’s work explores the American cultural landscape, capturing artifacts of the past and their complex relationships to the present. Many such objects, such as the public scale pictured in What is Your Weight and Lucky Number, were once common, but have since taken on new meanings by today’s standards and cultural practices. These iconic artifacts carry meaning for us nostalgically, as portents and reminders of what we are now. In this image, the scale is rendered both as an attractive, if not collectible, vestige from the past, but also a terrifying judge of who we are should we choose to step on it. Higgins’s interest in the perplexity and allure of evolving forms and their power to entice us is consolidated into a mundane object photographed in a women’s restroom. The irony lies in the fact that such a commonplace, outdated object can evoke such loaded questions of personal and cultural identity.

  • Camille Hoffman

    Lot #43
    Hands
    oil crayon, ink, and pencil on carved wood
    11 1/2" x 12''
    Estimated Value: $450

    • Click for more info on this work

      Camille Hoffman understands her artistic process as one of multidisciplinary research and collaborative invention. Her works are vehicles of spiritual agency and attempt to give a renewed voice to neglected objects and experiences. Hands was made with oil pastel, pencil, and ink on carved wood, and was inspired by Hoffman’s visit to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The gestures people made with their hands while worshipping — simultaneously a gesture of prayer, a surrender, and a visceral joining of ancestral histories and contemporary experiences —reminded Hoffman of contemporary events such as the “hands up, don’t shoot” chants at rallies across the United States.

      Hoffman earned an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from the Yale School of art, and has been the recipient of National Endowment for the Arts and Benjamin A. Gilman International scholarships; her work has been exhibited across the United States and internationally in Europe.

      Born and trained in France, François Houtin began his career as a landscape architect. He worked on renowned projects such as the 1991 renovation of the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris before pursuing a full-time career as an artist. Channeling his interest in Classical French landscape architecture into meticulously detailed prints, Houtin is known for his etchings of imaginary natural scenes. His works combine a mastery of draftsmanship with a deep knowledge of architectural history. Later in his career, Houtin was awarded the Prix de Gravure Lacouière and the Prix de Gravure Florence Gould; he is also a member of the prestigious Société des Peintres-Gravures Français.

    Lot #48
    Untitled # 54 (Fuji)
    chromogenic color print, edition of 6 + APs
    14" x 11"
    Estimated Value: $600

    • Click for more info on this work

      In Untitled #54 (Fuji), Carlos Jiménez Cahua employs the photographic medium in unexpected and indirect ways. The deep blue background color is created when Fujifilm C-print paper is unprocessed and exposed to light — this would normally render the paper unsuitable for normative photographic imaging. However, Cahua then created an intricate pattern of tape, and passed the paper through a regular C-print color processor. The rollers of the processor disrupted the tape’s adherence to the paper, allowing bleach and developer to create abstract patterns within the tape lines. Where there was no chemical activity due to the tape’s full, there remains Fuji’s blue. The piece is thus photographic only in a reductivist sense.

    Lot #51
    Untitled [Surreal estate]
    inkjet print on vellum, nails
    36’’ x 54.5’’
    Estimated Value: $2,800

    • Click for more info on this work

      As a multiracial queer individual, Sakura Kelley has a heightened awareness of how people interpret and categorize bodies. These experiences inform Kelley’s use of various photographic processes to subvert conventional modes of representation. Her recent body of work addresses visceral experiences of invisibility and erasure that she and members of her face as queer people of color. For this series, she printed photographs on a synthetic substrate that repels ink, suspending the images in a liquid, unfixed state. The imaged bodies shift into amorphous shapes that defy assumptions of identity. The work explores intimacy in this space of illegibility and considers the potential in being undefined.

      Alligators and Cadillacs, retirees and bikers, nightlife and lowlife, mansions and trailer parks. Florida keeps drawing Kereszi back. The 2000 election, sex offender kidnappers, anthrax, terrorist flight training schools, shark attacks — it's as if the whole state is ready to break off and float away, or, in the case of this photo, just be beamed up. This work was made as a part of her series about Florida, entitled “Sunshine State,” which was an offshoot her of broader body of work about recreation and escape, “Fun and Games.”

    Knife in the Water

    16" x 24"
    Estimated Value: $1,200

    • Click for more info on this work

      Much of Niklewicz’s work relates to his suspended cultural identity between Polish and American nationalities. Relocating to the United States from Poland in the 1980s to seek refuge from martial law, Niklewicz takes as his inspiration the disjuncture between the past and present, and “the folly of romanticizing a past that no longer exists.”

      Knife in the Water represents such an attempt to bring the past into the present. The work is a conceptual photograph, and the object Niklewicz assembled to create the image has since been dismantled. All that remains is the photographic record of what once existed.

      Despite its photographic appearance, Untitled (Open Water) is hand-drawn with graphite and acrylic paint. Artist Joseph Smolinski seeks to present a landscape that is at once beautiful and ominous — we our dependent on water, but also subject to its volatility. As the climate changes, extreme weather events, sea level rise, and even drought are inevitable. These events have the potential for tragedy and will undoubtedly reshape the planet, but Smolinski still reminds us of the splendor of nature, and of the aesthetic pleasure we can derive from something as grand and unpredictable as the ocean.

    Lot #93
    Petrochor
    digital c-print
    25" x 16"
    Estimated Value: $800

    • Click for more info on this work

      The work of local artist Kevin Van Aelst attempts to reconcile the artist’s physical surroundings with the fears, fascinations, curiosities, and daydreams occupying his mind. Many of his works feature everyday objects and materials; however, they have been reassembled in an often surrealist and defamiliarizing manner. In his works, Van Aelst focuses on the “big picture” and the “little things” — the mundane artifacts of daily life and the larger concepts of existence and life itself. Petrochor was created using printed photographs themselves as the primary medium — a bisected globe, a plaid textile, glass on an iPhone screen. For Van Aelst, photographs are imperfect illusions, ideas that bend and flex when manipulated by the artist. Van Aelst’s photographs have been featured in The New York Times Magazine, Time, Scientific American, The Atlantic, Money, and Wired.
