    MARK TOBEY "PSALTERY, 1ST FORM" ETCHING

    Est: -

    Mark Tobey (1890 - 1976) "Psaltery, 1st Form" Etching on Paper. Mark Tobey was the pioneer in blending elements of occidental and oriental art in his low-key, mystical, calligraphic paintings, which he termed "white writing." For all their quiet unpretentiousness, his works had an impact on much of what followed in modern American art-in particular, the explosive energy of abstract expressionism. Since the early 20th century, Tobey's work has been exhibited around the world, including the Seattle Art Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum, the Whitney Museum, and Paris' famed Louvre. He has been the recipient of numerous awards, including First prize at the Carnegie International, Pittsburgh; The Venice Biennale Painting Prize; The Guggenheim International Award; and the title of Commander, Arts and the Letters of the French Government.

    Mark Tobey, Play of Colors, 1965

    Est: €50,000 - €70,000

    Signed and dated 'Tobey 65' lower right in black. With a photo-certificate by Heiner Hachmeister, Münster, Committee Mark Tobey, dated 22 March 2018. The work will be included in the catalogue raisonné. In the mid-1960s Mark Tobey was experimenting with various techniques and materials that were new to him, particularly monotypes. In these works he combines organic forms into dense structures that expand his characteristic, calligraphy-like body of work through a new, shape-based pictorial idiom. With its delicate, shimmering streaks of colour and copper-toned contours, “Play of colors” possesses a light-hearted ease and stirs diverse thematic associations, such as microscopic views or the patterns of ornamental fabrics. The artist himself has described the constant change on which his work was based: “For my part, I believe the main problem of painting lies in rhythm and in the plasticity of the composition, often also in the sensibility with which the paint is applied, which could also be called a feel for texture and structure. Because I have no fixed ideas – that is to say, no philosophical affinity to any particular methods of thinking – my work is constantly in flux, or at least it seems that way to me. I do not take up any stable position myself. […] My pictures are of a kind that does not permit viewers to attach themselves to some detail, to find repose in it” (cited in: exh. cat. Mark Tobey. Between worlds, Museo d’arte Mendrisio/Museum Folkwang Essen 1989, p. 111).

    MARK TOBEY (Centerville 1890–1976 Basel) La Festa. 1967. Tempera and collage on paper, firmly laid down on canvas. Signed and dated lower left: Tobey 67. 93.5 × 64.5 cm. Provenance: - Galerie Jeanne Bucher, Paris (verso with the label). - Galerie Beyeler, Basel (verso with the label). - Martha Jackson Gallery, New York (verso with the label). - Auction Sotheby's, New York, 6.11.1985, lot 117. - Private collection Switzeland. Exhibited: - Paris 1968, Mark Tobey, Galerie Jeanne Bucher, cat. no. 13 (with ill.). - Basel 1970/71, Tobey on the occasion of his 80th birthday, Galerie Beyeler, cat. no. 36. - Milan 1971, Tobey, Galleria dell'Ariete, cat. no. 12. Literature: Eliza E. Rathbone: Mark Tobey: City paintings, Washington 1984, p. 109 (studio photo). This highly expressive work of art, "La Festa" from 1967, radiates a compelling sense of energy. Mark Tobey’s consummate skill in combining materials and the multiple layering of paint to create an impressive spatial depth can be witnessed here in the present work. The gestural and shifting web of marks and energetic forms in soft hues flow through the present painting with a vibrant dynamism and lively rhythm. The whole composition appears as if in constant motion, full of life and concrete reality and in a state of flux. Particularly striking is the dominant use of white, which can be interpreted as a symbol of spirituality, mysticism, light, or multiplicity. Tobey himself described the space of his paintings as multifaceted space or "multiple space", which only fully unfolds through an interactive dialogue with the observer. With such a title, is Tobey inviting the viewer into a festive world of dancing and joyfulness? Mark Tobey is considered a pioneer of American Abstract Expressionism. He is one of the few artists of the 20th century whose artistic expression has retained its fundamental vitality. The pictorial world of Mark Tobey as expressed through painterly, poetic and compositional means is extremely complex and is characterised by an almost limitless potential for creativity, experimentation and innovation. Through his characteristic approach to abstraction and the skilful fusion of elements of Western modernism with components of Oriental calligraphy, Tobey created something entirely new and of overwhelming radiance. Tobey's art ranged from figurative works to his iconic "White Writings." At the same time, his art, which initially retained something of the representational, continually developed in the direction of abstraction, which corresponds to his meditative and contemplative philosophy of life. ------------------------------------------------- MARK TOBEY (Centerville 1890–1976 Basel) La Festa. 1967.

Mark Tobey beherrscht meisterhaft die Kombination verschiedener Materialien und arbeitet in seinem Werk "La Festa" aus 1967 in mehreren Schichten übereinander, um eine beeindruckende räumliche Tiefe zu erzeugen. Die gestisch bewegten Zeichengespinste und energievollen Formen in sanften Farbtönen durchströmen das Gemälde mit einer vibrierenden Dynamik und einem lebhaften Rhythmus. Die ganze Komposition scheint in ständiger Bewegung, voller Leben und konkreter Wirklichkeit zu sein und sich im Wandel zu befinden. Besonders augenfällig ist die dominante Verwendung der weissen Farbe, die als Symbol für Spiritualität, Mystik, Licht oder Vielfalt interpretiert werden kann. Tobey bezeichnet den Raum seiner Bilder selbst als vielfältigen Raum, beziehungsweise als "multiple space", der erst durch den interaktiven Dialog mit den Beobachtenden vollständig entfaltet wird. Lädt Tobey die Betrachtenden mit diesem Titel in eine Welt mit tanzenden und fröhlichen Menschen ein, die von einer festlichen Atmosphäre geprägt ist? Mark Tobey gilt als Pionier des amerikanischen Abstrakten Expressionismus. Er gehört zu den wenigen Kunstschaffenden des 20. Jahrhunderts, deren künstlerische Geste ihre fundamentale Vitalität bewahrt hat. Die bildkünstlerische Welt des Malers, Dichters und Komponisten ist äusserst komplex und zeichnet sich durch ein beinahe grenzenloses Potential an Kreativität, Experimentierfreude und Innovationskraft aus. Durch seine charakteristische Herangehensweise an die Abstraktion und die geschickte Verschmelzung von Elementen der westlichen Moderne mit Komponenten der orientalischen Kalligrafie schafft Tobey etwas völlig Neues. Tobeys künstlerische Bandbreite erstreckt sich von figurativen Arbeiten bis zu seinen ikonischen "White Writings". Dabei entwickelten sich seine anfänglich noch leicht gegenständlichen Arbeiten kontinuierlich in Richtung Abstraktion, was der meditativen und kontemplativen Lebensphilosophie des Künstlers entspricht.

"I try to make of each picture a world in itself, and perhaps this one seems uninteresting however much one looks at the variations in the relations of lines and in the accents of touch which I have used in the center. A much vaster world can be found here than would appear at first glance. The use of many entwining rhythms indicates my search for height and depth. One must search while one is contemplating or else there will be no reward." Mark Tobey ------------------------------------------------- MARK TOBEY (Centerville 1890–1976 Basel) Ohne Titel. 1957.

Eine viel grössere Welt kann hier gefunden werden, als es auf den ersten Blick erscheinen mag. Der Einsatz vieler ineinandergreifender Rhythmen zeigt meine Suche nach Höhe und Tiefe. Man muss suchen, während man betrachtet, oder es wird keine Belohnung geben." Mark Tobey
