Acquired from the above Christie's sale This unique sculpture by important Abstract Expressionist sculptor Seymour Lipton is a maquette of the monumental sculpture "Laureate" - one of Lipton's most iconic and influential works located on the Riverwalk in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Laureate is a masterpiece that was commissioned by the Allen-Bradley Company in memory of Harry Lynde Bradley and as an enhancement for the newly constructed Performing Arts Center. It is located on the east bank of the Milwaukee River at 929 North Water Street. The Bradley family in Milwaukee were renowned patrons of modernist sculpture, known for their excellent taste who also founded an eponymous sculpture park. For reference only is an image of the monumental "Laureate" one of Milwaukee's most beloved public sculptures. According to the Smithsonian, which owns a different unique variation of this work, "The full-size sculpture Laureate was commissioned by the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts in Milwaukee. In the initial drawings, Seymour Lipton combined details from the architectural plan with a wide variety of images, ranging from musical instruments to a lighthouse on the island of Tobago. He transformed the basic shapes from these sketches into a welded sculpture, which evokes a figure composed of columns, harp strings, and coiled rope. Lipton created this piece to celebrate achievement in the arts. The dramatic silhouette commands your attention, reflecting the title Laureate, which means worthy of honor and distinction. The final version of the piece is over twelve feet high and stands out against the pale, flat buildings of the arts center.,,"

About Seymour Lipton:
Born in New York City in 1903, Seymour Lipton (1903-1986) grew up in a Bronx tenement at a time when much of the borough was still farmland. These rural surroundings enabled Lipton to explore the botanical and animal forms that would later become sources for his work. Lipton’s interest in the dialogue between artistic creation and natural phenomena was nurtured by a supportive family and cultivated through numerous visits to New York’s Museum of Natural History as well as its many botanical gardens and its zoos. In the early 1920s, with the encouragement of his family, Lipton studied electrical engineering at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute and pursued a liberal arts education at City College. Ultimately, like fellow sculptor Herbert Ferber, Lipton became a dentist, receiving his degree from Columbia University in 1927. In the late 1920s, he began to explore sculpture, creating clay portraits of family members and friends.
In addition to providing him with financial security, dentistry gave Lipton a foundation in working with metal, a material he would later use in his artwork. In the early 1930s, though, Lipton’s primary sculptural medium was wood. Lipton led a comfortable life, but he was also aware of the economic and psychological devastation the Depression had caused New York. In response, he generally worked using direct carving techniques—a form of sculpting where the artist “finds” the sculpture within the wood in the process of carving it and without the use of models and maquettes. The immediacy of this practice enabled Lipton to create a rich, emotional and visual language with which to articulate the desperation of the downtrodden and the unwavering strength of the disenfranchised. In 1935, he exhibited one such early sculpture at the John Reed Club Gallery in New York, and three years later, ACA Gallery mounted Lipton’s first solo show, which featured these social-realist-inspired wooden works. In 1940, this largely self-taught artist began teaching sculpture at the New School for Social Research, a position he held until 1965.
In the 1940s, Lipton began to devote an increasing amount of time to his art, deviating from wood and working with brass, lead, and bronze. Choosing these metals for their visual simplicity, which he believed exemplified the universal heroism of the “everyman,” Lipton could also now explore various forms of abstraction. Lipton’s turn towards increasing abstraction in the 1940s allowed him to fully develop his metaphorical style, which in turn gave him a stronger lexicon for representing the horrors of World War II and questioning the ambiguities of human experience. He began his metal work with cast bronze sculptures, but, in 1946, he started welding sheet metal and lead. Lipton preferred welding because, as direct carving did with wood, this approach allowed “a more direct contact with the metal.”[ii] From this, Lipton developed the technique he would use for the remainder of his career: “He cut sheet metal, manipulated it to the desired shapes, then joined, soldered, or welded the pieces together. Next, he brazed a metal coating to the outside to produce a uniform texture.”[iii]
In 1950, Lipton arrived at his mature style of brazing on Monel metal. He also began to draw extensively, exploring the automatism that abstract expressionist painters were boasting at the time. Like contemporaries such as Jackson Pollock, Lipton was strongly influenced by Carl Jung’s work on the unconscious mind and the regenerative forces of nature. He translated these two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional maquettes that enabled him to revise his ideas before creating the final sculpture.The forms that Lipton produced during this period were often zoomorphic, exemplifying the tension between the souls of nature and the automatism of the machine.
In the years following the 1950s, Lipton’s optimism began to rise, and the size of his work grew in proportion. The oxyacetylene torch—invented during the Second World War—allowed him to rework the surfaces of metal sculptures, thus eliminating some of the risks involved with producing large-scale finished works. In 1958, Lipton was awarded a solo exhibition at the Venice Biennale and was thus internationally recognized as part of a small group of highly regarded avant-garde constructivist sculptors. In 1960, he received a prestigious Guggenheim Award, which was followed by several prominent public commissions, including his heroic Archangel, currently residing in Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall.
A number of important solo exhibitions of his work followed at The Phillips Collection in Washington, DC (1964); the Milwaukee Art Center and University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee (1969); the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond (1972); the Everson Museum in Syracuse, NY (1973); the Herbert E. Johnson Museum of Art of Cornell University in Ithaca, NY (1973); the National Collection of Fine Arts, Smithsonian Institution (now the Smithsonian American Art Museum) in Washington, DC (1978); and a retrospective in 1979 at The Jewish Museum in New York. In 1982 and 1984 alone, two exhibitions of his sculpture, organized respectively by the Mint Museum (Charlotte, NC) and the Hillwood Art Gallery of Long Island University (Greenvale, NY), traveled extensively across museums and university galleries around the nation. In 2000, the traveling exhibition An American Sculptor: Seymour Lipton was first presented by the Palmer Museum of Art of Pennsylvania State University in University Park. Most recently, in 2009, the Ackland Art Museum in Chapel Hill, NC mounted The Guardian and the Avant-Garde: Seymour Lipton’s Sentinel II in Context.
Since 2004, Michael Rosenfeld Gallery has been the exclusive representative of the Estate of Seymour Lipton and has presented two solo exhibitions of his work—Seymour Lipton: Abstract Expressionist Sculptor (2005) and Seymour Lipton: Metal (2008). In 2013, Michael Rosenfeld Gallery presented Abstract Expressionism, In Context: Seymour Lipton, which included twelve major sculptures by the artist, along with works by Charles Alston, Norman Bluhm, Beauford Delaney, Willem de Kooning, Jay DeFeo, Michael Goldberg, Adolph Gottlieb, Hans Hofmann, Lee Krasner, Norman Lewis, Conrad Marca-Relli, Boris Margo, Alfonso Ossorio, Richard Pousette-Dart, Milton Resnick, Charles Seliger, Alma Thomas, Mark Tobey, Jack Tworkov and Hale Woodruff.
Other notable group exhibitions in recent years include: Abstract Expressionist New York at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (2010); Encounters with the 1930s at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, Spain (2012); Its Surreal Thing: The Temptation of Objects at the Sheldon Museum of Art, University of Nebraska in Lincoln (2013); Abstraction: Drawings by Sculptors at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (2015) and Marvelous Objects: Surrealist Sculpture from Paris to New York at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC (2015). In 2018, the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto included Lipton’s work in the reinstallation of their permanent collection, Look:Forward.

Seymour Lipton
Seymour Lipton était un sculpteur expressionniste abstrait américain. Il est membre de l'école de New York qui a acquis une grande notoriété dans les années 1950. Ses premiers choix de supports sont passés du bois au plomb, puis au bronze, et il est surtout connu pour ses travaux en métal. Il a réalisé plusieurs innovations techniques, notamment le brasage de tiges de nickel-argent sur des feuilles de Monel pour créer des formes résistantes à la rouille. Par le biais de la sculpture métallique, Lipton s'est efforcé de dépeindre les complexités internes de la psyché humaine à travers des formes qui s'enferment et s'opposent, mettant en relation des formes convexes et concaves, solides et évidées. Bien que son imagerie soit souvent basée sur des stimuli visuels, ses abstractions expressives ne sont jamais des traductions littérales du monde visible. Il modifie et arrange les formes pour créer des sculptures symbolisant des concepts intangibles et universels tirés de la sociologie, de la psychologie et des mythes.

Sculpture en bronze abstraite II d
Eugene Caples
Par Eugene Caples
Cette petite "sculpture en bronze II" exquise est en excellent état et constitue un parfait exemple du savoir-faire d'Eugene Caples. Il s'agit principalement d'abstractions avec quelques éléments graphiques ou architecturaux, et le plaisir est tel que les créatures mythiques exigent d'être prises en compte. Elle réclame d'être touchée et tenue, regardée et caressée. La belle patine de la surface donne une voix aux nombreuses mains qui ont fait ces choses.
Eugene Caples est un designer et un artisan qui a travaillé à Kansas City dans les années 1960, puis au début du XXIe siècle. Il a fréquenté le Kansas City Art Institute, où il a obtenu une licence de beaux-arts en design industriel en 1959. En 1963, il est admis à l'Académie d'art de Cranbrook, Hille, Michigan. L'Académie d'art de Cranbrook a été conçue par l'architecte et membre de la faculté, Eliel Saarinen, qui a collaboré avec Charles et Ray Eames pour la conception de chaises et de meubles. De nombreux artistes créatifs sont d'anciens élèves de Cranbrook : Harry Bertoia, Florence Knoll, Jack Lenor Larsen, Donald Lipski, Duane Hanson...
