Willie Cole is best known for assembling and transforming ordinary domestic and used objects such as irons, ironing boards, high-heeled shoes and other discarded appliances and hardware, into imaginative and powerful works of art and installations. Cole’s widely recurring symbolic and artistic object that was initially brought to the attention of the art world has been the steam iron. While Cole’s unique approach of imprinting the steam iron’s marks on a variety of media result in a wide-ranging decorative potential of his scorchings, they are also to be viewed as a reference to his African American heritage.
<br><br>
Willie Cole’s work is included in numerous private and public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, New York; the Birmingham Museum of Art in Birmingham, Alabama; the High Museum in Atlanta, Georgia among many others. He has had a one-person exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Nine Constant Windows Rug by James SienaRegular price $10,000.00
Nine Constant Windows Rug by James Siena
James Siena is a New York painter/printmaker who was for many years an artist’s artist and a well kept secret of the New York art scene. Siena builds complex quirky geometries based on defined instruction sets (algorithms) that amount to a kind of cowboy visual mathematics.
<br><br>
“Mr. Siena’s paintings transcend painting to encroach on mathematics, puzzles, manuscript illumination and maps. They elude Western art to evoke Andean textiles, Chinese bronzes, African bark paintings, Persian screens, jewelry and glass-making and calligraphy. These disparate associations, more carefully isolated and combined in individual works than previously in Mr. Siena’s art, make this savvy re-arrival the best show of his career.” Roberta Smith, The New York Times
<br><br>
James Siena’s work can be found in numerous public collections including the Des Moines Art Center, Iowa, The Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University, The Museum of Fine Art, Boston, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Sedalia, Missouri, The McNay Art Museum, San Antonio, The Met, New York, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, The Philip Morris Collection, The SF MOMA, The Hammer Museum, Los Angeles and the Whitney Museum.

Untitled Rug by Jonathan LaskerRegular price $8,500.00
Untitled Rug by Jonathan Lasker
Since the late 1970s, Jonathan Lasker has developed a distinctive formal vocabulary based on different mark-making processes, including structural grids, graphic scribbled lines and thick impasto strokes of paint. Although he creates these forms intuitively, the compositions themselves are highly structured and controlled. At the forefront of artists who re-established the possibilities of painting after Minimalism and Conceptualism emptied the picture-plane, he has mounted a challenge to the medium’s status quo, creating a unique system of painting based on a figure ground relationship, in which the figure and ground stand in a dialectical relationship to one another.
<br><br>
For this carpet, Lasker uses repeated, transposed forms to create an image composed of distinct, clearly defined elements. The viewer is encouraged to experience the image for themselves through the act of viewing and, in the end, they become the subject of Lasker’s carpet.
<br><br>
Jonathan Lasker has enjoyed solo exhibitions at Greene Naftali, Cheim & Read, Sperone Westwater and at institutions including the Reina Sofia, Madrid; K20 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf, The Power Plant Toronto, The Stedelijk Amsterdam; and the ICA Philadelphia, among many others. His work is held in numerous public collections in Europe and North America, including the Albright-Knox Gallery, Buffalo; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Hirshhorn Museum Washington, DC; LACMA; The Metropolitan Museum New York, The Moderna Museet, Stockholm, The Reina Sofia, Madrid, MOMA, New York, The Museum Ludwig, Cologne, The NGA Washington, DC, The National Gallery of Canada, and the Whitney Museum New York.
