Raymond "Ray" Parker, American/New York 1922-1990, “Untitled”, oil on canvas
Est: $8,000 - $12,000
Raymond "Ray" Parker American/New York, 1922-1990 "Untitled" oil on canvas 1964, signed lower center, signed, titled, dated and inscribed "For Cora" en verso, handwritten label with artist, title and date on hanging wire, framed. Provenance: Gift of the artist; Cora Kelley Ward (1920-1989); by descent in the family; Private Collection, LA. Note: Originally from South Dakota, Ray Parker moved to New York City in 1951 after receiving an MFA at the University of Iowa. In New York, he became a professor of art at Hunter College where he would remain until his passing in 1990. An essential participant of the bustling art scene of the city, he was included in numerable group exhibitions at museums such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of Modern Art and Metropolitan Museum of Art. He was represented by the premier Kootz Gallery. Parker was inspired by the works of Henri Matisse and an integral member of the "Post Painterly Abstraction" movement, as coined by his friend and formidable art critic Clement Greenberg. The painting offered here by Parker boasts the dedication "For Cora" en verso. This piece was a gift from the artist to fellow abstract expressionist, Cora Kelley Ward, who moved to New York in 1955. Ward had no trouble finding a place for herself in the buzzing metropolis, inevitably making friends with the city's greats such Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Frost and the aforementioned Clement Greenberg, although she often remained behind the scenes and behind the camera at gallery openings, documenting her influential friends through her photography. Ward and Parker ran in the same circles and were part of the same integral period in art history that would define American Art for the latter half of the twentieth century. Ref.: Bradley, John Ed.

Ray Parker Abstract Watercolor Painting 1978
Est: $300 - $600
Ray Parker (American, 1922-1990). Watercolor on paper painting, 1978. Pencil signed, dated, and inscribed "For H.H." along the right edge. Provenance: The artist directly to The Distinguished Collection of H. Harvard Arnason; thence by descent. Lot Essay: H. Harvard Arnason (1909-1986) was a pivotal figure in American art history, best known for his role as an art historian, curator, and educator. He attended the University of Manitoba from 1925-27. After immigrating to the United States to continue his education, he earned an AM degree via Northwestern in 1937 and then a Master of Fine Arts from Princeton in 1939. After serving in various roles at the Frick Collection and Hunter College, and then at the Office of War Information during World War II, he accepted a position as a professor of the art department at the University of Minnesota, where he served as chair until 1961. One of his most influential tenures was as director of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis from 1951 to 1961. Under his leadership, the museum transitioned into a nationally respected institution for modern and contemporary art. Arnason expanded the Walker's programming to include avant-garde works, film, performance, and design, helping to redefine what a contemporary art museum could be. He also championed interdisciplinary exhibitions that bridged art and architecture, aligning with the modernist ideals of the time. Beyond the Walker, Arnason served in various significant roles, including curator at the Guggenheim Museum. His academic career reflected his deep commitment to education and the dissemination of modern art. Perhaps most enduringly, he authored "History of Modern Art," first published in 1968 and now in its seventh edition. The textbook became a foundational resource in art history education, offering a comprehensive and accessible account of modern art's evolution. Through his writing, Arnason played a crucial role in shaping the way generations of students and scholars understood the narrative of modernism. Arnason's legacy rests in both his institutional leadership and his scholarly contributions. He helped elevate modern art's status in the United States at a time when it was still gaining traction outside major urban centers. His curatorial vision emphasized inclusivity of media and innovation, while his textbook remains a benchmark in art historical literature. Arnason bridged academic rigor with public engagement, leaving a lasting mark on the institutions he shaped and on the broader field of art history.
