SHIRLEY GOLDFARB Untitled.
Est: $4,000 - $6,000
SHIRLEY GOLDFARB Untitled. Oil and watercolor on paper mounted to board, 1963. 455x557 mm; 18x22 inches. Signed and dated in oil, lower right recto. Provenance: Private collection, Yorktown, New York. Goldfarb was a contemporary of the New York School, attending the Art Students League in 1949 where she met Jackson Pollock (1912-1956). Goldfarb did not stay in New York for long after her studies. She continued to paint in the Abstract Expressionist style into the 1960s. In 1954, she moved to Paris, where she forged her career as an abstract artist with an unshakable identity. Goldfarb embraced the Parisian art scene and was welcomed into the same circles as Man Ray (1890-1976) and other American ex-pats. Distance from New York perhaps led her to develop her unique style which blended French pointillism, sophisticated color theory, and her roots in abstraction.

Est: $2,000 - $3,000
Shirley Goldfarb American, (1925-1980) Untitled oil on canvas signed verso. Provenance: From a private collector, Indianapolis. Provenance: Purchased from the Sam Francis estate, 2001, #SFC-340. From the archives of AskArt: Goldfarb studied at The Art Students League in New York, before moving to Paris in 1954, where she fell in love with the city and would remain until her death 26 years later. The exhibition also features her monumental canvases from the 1960s and 1970s. These works illustrate her delicate treatment of light and color; a consideration prompted by the unique qualities of her newly adopted city. Embracing the connection between art and life, Shirley Goldfarb's paintings run parallel to her longstanding practice of journaling and recording video; documenting life in the café, at home and in the studio and providing a portrait of the unique persona she created after moving to France. A selection of this ephemera illustrates her place within the social milieu surrounding the many artists, poets and intellectuals that inhabited the cafés of postwar Paris.
