Leonard Baskin Sold at Auction Prices

Sculptor, Illustrator, b. 1922 - d. 2000

(b 1922; d 2000) American sculptor, painter, and printmaker, Leonard Baskin was raised the son of a Rabbi in Brooklyn, New York. His interest in art was evident from an early age and he had his first solo exhibit of sculpture at the Glickman Studio Gallery when he was just seventeen. After receiving his B.A. from Yale, Baskin studied abroad in Paris and Florence. Shortly after returning from Europe, he took his first teaching position at Smith College in Massachusetts where he was an instructor of sculpture and printmaking. Despite the trends in Modern art, Baskin’s work remained figural throughout his career and he dealt primarily with mythological and religious themes. He was considered one of the finest American sculptors and printmakers of his time and his work appears in the collections of major museums around the world. In addition to his career as an artist, Baskin founded his own publishing company called Gehenna Press in 1942 and illustrated and authored many books himself.

New York;  Bonhams, New York, Property from the Estate of Laura Speiser, New York and Property from a Coconut Grove Private Collection, 16th September 2010, lot 2036;  Pyms Gallery, London  Note:  Baskin's works is highly indicative of the Post-War period, sharing an intensity of vision with figures such as Elisabeth Frink, Germaine Richier and Alberto Giacometti. Like Frink, Baskin focused almost entirely on the male figure, seeking a visual language that spoke to an everyday experience of life and death, demonstrated most fully in his ‘Dead Man’ series, first started in the 1950s. Baskin retained a defiantly figurative language throughout his sculpture and works on paper, continuing the legacy of Käthe Kollwitz in his choice to work across mediums in an attempt to engage with an audience outside of the artistic elite.  Works by the artist are in major museum across the USA, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, MoMA, New York and the Detroit Institute of Arts. In the UK works are held by the British Museum, the V&A and the Tate.
