Paul Cahan Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1951 -

Paul Cahan an American artist born in 1951.

REVIEW from February 2018 by Donald Kuspit, State University Art and Philosophy Professor (retired) , author of more than twenty books with two Ph D. degrees recently saw my website. He surprised me with the unsolicited personal note, below:

“Your steel sculptures – your “Homage to Kandinsky” are first-rate, hold their own in the tradition of abstract expressionist sculpture. Their formal complexity and allusive “”re-cognition” of the figure, are masterly. I admire your creativity.” Donald Kuspit 2018

    • PAUL CAHAN, UPSIDE DOWN PRESIDENT, PAINTED STEEL
      Jun. 18, 2024

      PAUL CAHAN, UPSIDE DOWN PRESIDENT, PAINTED STEEL

      Est: $18,000 - $21,000

      Artist: Paul Cahan, American (1951 - ) Title: Upside Down President Year: 2019 Medium: Painted Steel, signed Size: 38 x 15 x 15 in. (96.52 x 38.1 x 38.1 cm) Description: Artist Statement on Artwork: I began this piece during the impeachment trial. Each section and concept progressed slowly to exhibit the truth of the character. I drew sections on a large steel plate; the parts, like the hands becoming claws, were ideas that came to me as anger guided the work. The abstract expressionist figure was formed in pieces as the form organically grew as the weeks went by slowly allowing creative time to determine the final shapes, heating and bending the body parts to express the complete dissonance from head to feet of a corrupt human being ruled by the instincts of a selfish animal. His head with dyed hair rests on simulated oil and gas drill supporting his favorite industry. Everything about him is Upside Down. He does not know right from wrong. He barks and tweets impulsively and flips truth and fiction as if it were his property. He tries to sweep-up "dirt" on rivals as his hair sticks out like a broom. His private part is symbolically twisted, it depicts his history of abusing women. He stands camouflaged wrapped in the American Flag He uses patriotism as a crutch to hide his true intentions of wanting to control policy for his selfish goals rather than the nation's good. - Paul Cahan 2020
