(Lissabon 1908–1992 Paris) Les irrésolutions résolues XXVI, signed and dated, 1969, charcoal on canvas, 89 x 116 cm, framed Provenance: Galerie Jeanne Bucher, Paris (label on the reverse) Private Collection, France European Private Collection Literature: P. Sers, Vieira da Silva, Chroniques de l’Art Vivant, no. 5, Paris 1969, pp. 10–11 with ill. Rafael J. Cardoso, Breve apontamento sobre a pintura de Vieira da Silva, República,17 febbraio 1970 G. Weelen, J. Jaeger, Vieira da Silva. Catalogue Raisonné, Skira-Geneva, 1994, p. 477, no. 2325 with ill. Exhibited: Paris, Galerie Jeanne Bucher, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, 8 October – 22 November 1969, exh. cat., with ill. Executed in 1969 for the prestigious Galerie Jeanne Bucher in Paris, Les irrésolutions résolues XXVI is a masterclass in Vieira da Silva’s unique visual language. The work presents a complex cityscape where the boundaries between abstraction and representation dissolve. Through an intricate web of charcoal and graphite lines, the artist explores an expanding perspective that lacks a traditional vanishing point, offering instead a "resolved irresolution" that is both visionary and calming.The title reflects the artist’s core belief that "uncertainty is my certainty." Rejecting absolute truths, Vieira da Silva invites the viewer into a space of relativity. Her compositions are deeply rooted in memory, echoing the sensory impressions of her childhood in Lisbon—most notably the diamond-patterned cobblestone streets (calçada)—reinterpreted through the lens of her experience as an immigrant in post-war Paris. A central figure of the Art Informel movement, Vieira da Silva developed a highly personal style that defied categorization. While influenced by the spatial explorations of the Sienese School and masters like Paolo Uccello and Cézanne, she forged a path centered on the exploration of space and rhythm. Maria Helena Vieira da Silva’s work has been exhibited worldwide and is held in major museums and private collections including the MoMA and Guggenheim in New York, the Tate Modern in London, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

Est: $6,000 - $8,000
Abstract mixed media work on paper, circa 1955, by Maria Helena Veiera da Silva (Portuguese, 1908-1992), signed "Veiera da Silva" lower left. By the early 1940s, the artist was already established as one of the defining cultural figures of the 20th century. She was featured in Peggy Guggenheims Exhibition by 31 Women at the Art of This Century in New York. In 1961, she won the Grand Prize for Fine Arts at the Biennale in Sao Paulo and in 1966, was the first woman awarded the French Grand Prix Nationale des Arts. Her works are in the permanent collections of several major institutions such as MoMA, the Tate, and Centre Pompidou, etc., her place as a postwar staple has stood the test of time. Vieira da Silvas early career in Paris among the avant-garde of postwar abstractionists led to a storied contribution to modern painting. In Paris, she worked and lived among Cubist and Italian Futurists, whose styles became influential to her later signature style of maze-like tiling and depth-of-field play. Also influenced by contemporaries such as Fernand Leger, with whom she studied in her adolescence, Vieira da Silva cultivated a unique style of abstraction that broke rules of formalist tradition.The artists skill in re-imagining structural planes to depict figurative illusions is fully evident in this colorful work on paper from which she invokes a cityscape built out of an abstraction of gestural elements. Provenance: Prior to being acquired by its current California collector, this work was held privately by a Palm Beach, Florida family. It has never previously appeared at public auction. [Art: 10 1/2 x 15 inches; Frame: 14 1/2 x 18 5/8 inches]. In good condition.

MARY VIEIRA (1927-2001) BRASILIEN BAUT BRASILIA. 1957. 46 1/2x33 inches, 118x83 3/4 cm. A. Raabe, Berlin. Condition A: minor tear at right edge. Paper. Mary Vieira was a Brazilian sculptor, and the first Brazilian artist to win the São Paulo Art Biennial. In 1951, Mary Vieira moved to Europe where she met Italian poet and critic Carlo Belloli, who later became her husband. Upon settling in Switzerland, she was invited by Max Bill to participate in the last exhibition of the Swiss Group Allianz - a group that advocated Bill's theories of concrete art and the importance of color. Vieira explored dynamism in sculpture, but emphasized interdisciplinarity as a key artistic principle, also creating prints, photographs and posters. Many of her artwork installations have been placed in public spaces. In this innovative and minimalist poster for an international architecture exhibition, Viera (one of the show's organizers) uses the same green of the Brazil flag, which represents the country's fields and forests. The Interbau exhibition publicized European architectural designs for the new capital of Brazil, for which Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer eventually designed civic buildings and Lucio Costa planned the layout. Using the latitude and longitude points printed in white at the edges of the poster, we can identify the complementary red square in Viera's design as the capital city, Brasilia. Graphic Art p. 75.
