Live now on Artnet Auctions: Three works by pioneering female Modernists:
“Birds have been a major theme in my work; I think they’re free and spiritual. I hope if I get reincarnated I’ll get turned into a bird. I love their magic, their freedom.” — Niki de Saint Phalleis an image of freedom, emblematic of the artist’s work in its color and fantastical nature. Aside from her sculptural female figures, known as “Nanas” , de Saint Phalle often depicted mythical creatures and animals.
“I want to find my own small plot or pattern of energy that will express the inner me in terms of rhythmic movement and color.” — Vivian Springfordshoots in diagonal, golden, teal, and gradient mauve patterns across her white cloth with galactic intensity. Its kinesthetic motion embodies Harold Rosenberg’s December 1952 essay “The American Action Painters,” which elaborated the physical bravura of abstraction.
“It’s the juxtaposition of all this that is an intensely, immensely human subject. You’re photographing people when you’re photographing a city. You don’t have to have a person in it.”Known for depicting the evolution of New York into a modern megapolis, Berenice Abbott was a pioneer of American documentary photography throughout the early 20th century. She worked under the Federal Arts Project as part of the Works Progress Administration throughout the Great Depression.
