The Russian poet Anna Akhmatova wrote of the victims of the Russian Gulag: “We would like to call you all by name.” So it is for the victims of the Holocaust: the need to remember lives cut short so that the Nazis will not have won and obliterated the memory of the Jewish people from the face of the earth. Six million died. Six million names and stories and hopes for the future. Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. Let us remember. Pictured: a Nazi guard beats a Jewish child in the Warsaw Ghetto. 1.5 million children died in the Holocaust. #warsawghetto #holocaustmemorialday #holocaustremembranceday #holocaust #shoah #jews #antisemitism #ww2 https://www.instagram.com/p/CrI5CO-gJI2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A fabulous never-before-seen surrealist painting c. 1940 by American modernist painter Rolph Scarlett and from the Esses collection. Scarlett’s career extended nearly 75 years and his early period is synonymous with the founding of the Museum of Non-Objective Art, later the Guggenheim. #modernart #artoftheday #interiordesign #artadvisory #surrealart #surrealism #landscapepainting #abstractart @guggenheim #artonpaper #paintingoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq6VfJJv12n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rolph Scarlett, untitled drip painting, c.1948-1952, the Sam Esses Estate. Jackson Pollock was employed as a carpenter at the Museum of Non-Objective Art (later the Guggenheim) at the same time that Scarlett was painting works that would go into the museum’s collection, so it is entirely possible that they met, talked, and observed. In any case, their approach to drip was different. Pollock was intensely involved in his work whereas Scarlett too more of an automotist approach. He writes of filling a can hung on a string with paint. Then he would puncture a hole in the bottom and would send the can circling over the canvas. Of smaller things are great movements made. Available.

Passover begins tomorrow night. We are commanded to lay the table with our best and most beautiful utensils. As a consequence, artists have fabricated unique and beautiful ritual objects for the Seder, such as this “ Scaffold Seder Plate” by Alan Wexler made from ceramic and brass laid on a white napkin, and absolutely unique. Art meets design meets use. Happy Holiday, y’all. #passover #passoverseder #pesach #sederplate #design #contemporarydesign #contemporaryart #ritualobjects @thejewishmuseum #practicaldesign https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqnk_UegKXi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fred Mitchell, Untitled, c. 1956-1958. Fred Mitchell was an integral part of the Downtown Scene in NYC for n the 50s and 60s. Along with artists James Rosenquist, Agnes Martin, Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Indiana and a few others, he found loft and living space on Coenties Slip in downtown Manhattan with its views of the water and sunny light. His work appeared in the seminal Guggenheim Exhibition “Younger American Painters” in 1954. This was the first Museum show to treat the subject of abstraction and effectively propelled Mitchell’s career to a new level. Finally, Mitchell was one of the founders of the Tanager Gallery, the first artist run collective gallery, along with Lois Dodds, Angelo Ippolito, Tom Wesselman, Alex Katz, Philip Pearlstein and others. #fredmitchell #modernart #interiordesign #artadvisory @guggenheim #tanagergallery #coentiesslip #abstractexpressionism #abstractart #alexkatz #loisdodd #paintingoftheday #agnesmartin #ellsworthkelky #youngartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqd96SGge_i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Walter Darby Bannard, “Hummock,” 1979. Bannard was a leading exponent of color field painting was known for his refined minimalism. Later in life, he complicated his work with polymers and gels that lent a topographic feeling to his work. The critic Clement Greenberg included him in the seminal “Post Painterly Abstraction” exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1964.
