VYTLACIL, Vaclav. Original Artwork. 1970. 6" x 10 ½" mixed-media in contemporary black frame. A drawing in gouache and pastel by this important, somewhat neglected, figure in the history of modernist painting. With its bold white and yellow strokes and stylized figure, the drawing recalls European primitivism, but filtered through a distinctly postwar American sensibility. Vytlacil was an American painter of Czech descent who taught at Black Mountain College, among other places. His most notable students include Robert Rauschenberg and Louise Bourgeois, and he was a close colleague and friend of Willem De Kooning. Signed and dated by the artist in pencil.

WEBER, Matt. Original Silver Gelatin Print. 12" x 18" silver gelatin print. One of a thus-far non-limited edition of what we believe to be the single most powerful and expressive documentary photograph of the 9/11 disaster. Although it has managed to escape the attention of the wider human race thus far, Weber’s extraordinary perspective cannot but chill, dismay or utterly unman, and it is our opinion that it will sooner or later become recognized as the icon that it is, capturing, as it profoundly does, the moment at which the world irremediably changed on that day at its intimate core. From any standpoint of classical connouisseurship, perspective, iconography, emotional impact or the appropriateness of its contents to its subject, the photograph is a self-evident masterpiece. Weber may account among his forebears Doisneau, Brassai, Cartier-Bresson and, especially, Bruce Davidson, but none of them has produced a single image of such astonishing power. Signed and dated by Weber on the verso. Accompanied by a copy of the monograph on Weber’s work entitled The Urban Prisoner, in which the photograph was first published. Very few prints of the image have been sold thus far, and the chance still obtains to acquire one that will be in the nature of a vintage print one day when the dust has cleared and the profundity of the work has been widely acknowledged. Fine.
