Miriam Schapiro Collage
Est: $3,000 - $5,000
Artist/Designer; Manufacturer: Miriam Schapiro (Canadian, 1923-2015) Marking(s); notes: signed; 1990 Materials: watercolor, fabric and paper collage Dimensions (H, W, D): 21"h, 29.5"w; 30"h, 38.5"w frame Additional Information: This work is an exuberant example of one of Miriam Schapiro's "femmages," collages that feature materials and themes typically deemed "feminine," "domestic" or "ornamental" - lace, florals, fans, etc. - as a challenge to the mainstream art world’s trivialization of the decorative. "I began to see myself as another kind of artist, as a woman artist, very much connected to those women who had made quilts, who had made samplers, who had done all of that women’s work throughout civilization, who are not honored, but whom I honor, and I honor them by continuing their tradition. The difference is that I don’t work with sewing; I’m a painter and I work on canvas, and I work in their tradition." - Miriam Schapiro, 1974 (source: Smithsonian American Art Museum)

MIRIAM SCHAPIRO Children of Paradise.
Est: $2,000 - $3,000
MIRIAM SCHAPIRO Children of Paradise. Color lithograph and collage on cream wove paper, 1984. 805x1220 mm; 31¾x48 inches (sheet), full margins. Signed, titled, dated and numbered 60/60, from the edition variée, in pencil, lower margin. Printed and published by Graphicstudio, Tampa, with the blind stamps lower right. A very good impression of this large scarce work. Children of Paradise was produced as an edition variée, an edition where each print contains more differences from each other than in a standard edition. In this case lithographic elements were used in the background and the collaged fabrics were different in each print. According to Graphicstudio, who published this work, "In Children of Paradise, Miriam Schapiro [1923-2015] applied the collage principles she has called 'femmage.' Schapiro has been creating femmages since the early 1970s, initially inspired by her use of found materials in her exploration of autobiographical and woman-centered themes for her contribution to Womanhouse, a feminist installation project at the California Institute of Arts. Combining scraps of fabric, lace, quilting, and other handwork with paint and printer's ink, Schapiro's femmages intentionally recall traditional handwork techniques such as appliqué and quilting. Schapiro's strength as a colorist is clearly revealed in her bold use of vibrant and competing hues in Children of Paradise. Two articles of children's clothing, a girl's dress and a boy's suit, serve as the core elements around which Schapiro has built the composition. Layering color and texture in the form of hearts and teacups cut from fabrics and houses cut from patterned paper-all familiar in Schapiro's repertoire of images-she creates a highly structured composition that nevertheless appears unstructured, reminiscent of the haphazard arrangements of some quilts. Schapiro worked from fabrics she brought with her to the Graphicstudio workshop--'pieces from woman's culture'--as well as material she collected in Tampa, to create about a dozen preliminary femmages before executing the edition print. In the print Schapiro's layering of transparent inks with fabrics, possibly suggesting 'levels of the past,' locks the cutout shapes into a compositional whole. The fabric heart in the bottom left corner, for example, is echoed in the background lithography, connecting the layers of the image." Regarding her collage work, Schapiro noted, "The collagists who came before me were men, who lived in cities, and often roamed the streets at night scavenging, collecting material, their junk, from urban spaces. My world, my mother's and grandmother's world, was a different one. The fabrics I used would be beautiful if sewed into clothes or draped against windows, made into pillows, or slipped over chairs. My ‘junk,' my fabrics, allude to a particular universe, which I wish to make real, to represent."

Provenance: Abell Auctions 25 January 2024, Lot 423. "Miriam Schapiro earned her Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Iowa in 1949 and in 1952 moved to New York City with her husband, the artist Paul Brach. In Manhattan, Schapiro discovered that women artists were not taken seriously by the male-dominated abstract expressionist movement. Schapiro's abstract paintings of the 1950s won her some recognition by museums and galleries, but she struggled for decades with her identities as a wife, mother, and professional painter. In the 1970s she collaborated with the artist Judy Chicago on Womanhouse, the mansion famously transformed by a women's art cooperative into a gigantic installation of feminist art. Schapiro's "femmages," her assemblages of scraps of fabric, buttons, lace, and other 'feminine' tokens, appear in major American museums. The artist has been awarded fellowships and grants from many institutions, including the National Endowment for the Arts, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Ford Foundation."

Miriam Schapiro The First Fan. 1977
Est: €20,000 - €30,000
Miriam Schapiro 1923 Toronto - 2015 Hampton Bays, New York The First Fan. 1977 Titled, dated and signed verso. Acrylic and collage auf canvas. 185 x 365 cm. Bei "the First Fan" handelt es sich um eine Leinwand in Form eines überdimensionalen Fächers. Für das symmetrisch angelegte Bild des Fächers wählt die Künstlerin feine gemusterte Stoffe, die sich in 24 Segmenten abwechseln und auf die Leinwand appliziert werden. Gut erkennbar sind die Stoffe mit Segmentbögen à la Sonja Delaunay, antikisierende geometrische Muster u.a. An zentraler Stelle, mittig am Unterrand, befinden sich Stoffe mit linearen Gesteinsformationen, welche die Form eines Eies haben, das in vielen Ländern als Fruchtbarkeitssymbol gilt. Überwindung gestickter Vorurteile Dass sich textile Techniken besonders dazu eignen, starre Rollenbilder und die damit verbundene Marginalisierung weiblicher Handarbeit zu hinterfragen, nutzt Miriam Schapiro in ihren feministisch orientierten Collagen, den sogenannten "Femmages". Als Pionierin der Muster- und Dekorationsbewegung der 70er Jahre, setzte sich die US-amerikanische Künstlerin und Feministin mit einer Vielfalt an Techniken, Formen und Materialien auseinander. In der Darstellungsform überdimensionaler Fächer entdeckte Schapiro eine Komposition, die es vermag, zeitliche und kulturelle Grenzen zu überschreiten sowie die vorherrschende Hierarchie zwischen hoher und niedriger Kunst zu korrumpieren. Als Attribut weiblicher Schönheit und Passivität widerfährt der Fächer durch seine Monumentalisierung eine neue und gleichwertige Autorität. Die rhythmisch-symmetrische Form sowie die kräftigen, kontrastierenden Farben finden sich in einem stilpluralistischen Patchwork Design wieder, welches in seiner Ornamentik auf nichtwestliche Kunst- und Kulturformen Bezug nimmt. Miriam Schapiro gelingt es, starre Zuordnungen von weiblich/männlich und trivial/heroisch mit einer unvergleichbaren dekorativen Ästhetik zu überwinden und wird nicht zu Unrecht derzeit unter anderem im Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York ausgestellt. provenance: private collection, South Germany Ausstellung: exhibition label of the Lerner-Heller Gallery, Madison Avenue, New York verso Exhibition label of the Lerner-Heller Gallery, Madison Avenue, New York verso
