Modernist & Historic Works
Bert Gallery Studio Sale: Historic, Modern & Selections from the Feldman Trust, expands its focus to include a Modernist section with works from the Walter Feldman (1925 ? 2017) Trust for Artwork. Modernist works join the popular regional artists Bert Gallery has championed for over 35 years - the overlooked regional art contributors to the major movements and styles in American Art. The Modernist section has several works from the Feldman Trust created by the artist in 2017 to market and maintain his life's work. Feldman taught for 54 years in the Visual Arts Department and left a legacy collection to the Trust. The works span from 1940?s until 2017, and a sampling of these works are included in the auction. Throughout the decades Feldman never became complacent but mastered many mediums, expanding and experimenting a variety of techniques. Other artists in the auction include progressive photographers from RI School of Design, Aaron Siskind and Ray Metzker. Vintage Siskind 1967 Boston abstract & 1965 Games Theater photographs along with the iconic Metzker image "Alicante" come from the collection of internationally known graphic designer Malcolm Grear. There are works by Bauhaus instructor Margarete Bittkow-Koehler who shared a lifetime art friendship with the Albers and Klees all forced to flee their German homeland to America in the 1930?s. The other half of Bert Gallery Studio Sale are historic American painters acquired by astute collectors in the culturally rich city of Providence, the home of several important American painters in the 19th and 20th century. Highlights include woman artists Mabel May Woodward and Anna Richards Brewster, a New York City nocturnal pastel by F. Usher DeVoll who was represented by New York ?s Grand Central Gallery, several Provincetown scenes from John Frazier, Florence Leif and Pat Masiello, along with the popular Rockport Art Association artist Antonio Cirino with a trademark harbor scene.
