Mark Moore Fine Art and the artist are pleased to announce the acquisition of a major work by artist BETH LIPMAN, titled “Mind Map 7” from 2022 by The Crocker Art Museum.

Beth Lipman is an American artist whose sculptural practice explores aspects of material culture and deep time through still lives, site-specific installations, and photographs. Ephemeral and intricate, the work addresses mortality, materiality, and temporality. Lipman is also known for site responsive installations that activate the specific history of objects, individuals, and institutions.

Lipman has exhibited her work internationally at such institutions as the Ringling Museum of Art (FL), ICA/MECA (ME), RISD Museum (RI), Milwaukee Art Museum (WI), Gustavsbergs Konsthall (Sweden) and the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum (DC). Her work has been acquired by numerous museums including the North Carolina Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum of Art (NY), Kemper Museum for Contemporary Art (MO), Smithsonian American Art Museum (DC), Jewish Museum (NY), Norton Museum of Art, (FL), and the Corning Museum of Glass (NY). 

The Crocker Art Museum features the world’s foremost display of California art and is renowned for its holdings of European master drawings and international ceramics. The Crocker also holds permanent collections of Asian, African, and Oceanic art, ceramics, and photography. The Museum offers a diverse spectrum of exhibitions, events, and programs to augment its collections, including films, concerts, studio classes, lectures, children’s activities, and more. The Museum has also dedicated the historic building’s entire first floor as an education center, which includes four classrooms, space for student and community exhibitions, the Gerald Hansen Library, and Tot Land.

Mark Moore Fine Art proudly presents “Refractions: L.A. Art in the Eighties and Nineties,” showcasing influential early works by Los Angeles legends Peter Alexander, Larry Bell, Billy Al Bengston, Eric Orr, and Helen Pashgian

Peter Alexander, “Universal III”, 1992

Mark Moore Fine Art proudly presents “Refractions: L.A. Art in the Eighties and Nineties,” showcasing influential early works by Los Angeles legends Peter Alexander, Larry Bell, Billy Al Bengston, Eric Orr, and Helen Pashgian.

By the ’80s and ’90s, L.A. became an experimental hub—where light, surface, and perception intertwined in bold new ways. Bell explored glass and reflection; Alexander created resin forms inspired by color and city haze; Bengston infused painting with California’s vibrant energy; Pashgian crafted luminous sculptures; and Orr’s works, infused with elements of alchemy and spirituality, played with presence and infinity.

Experience a moment in L.A. art history defined by experimentation, reflection, and the evolving nature of perception itself.

COLLECTION OF THE FREDERICK R. WEISMAN ART FOUNDATION (Los Angeles)

 Mark Moore Fine Art and the artist are pleased to announce the acquisition of a major work by artist REBEKAH ANDRADE, titled “Mind Map 7” from 2022 by The Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation. 

Rebekah Andrade (Canadian, b. 1980) is an abstract painter based in Charlotte, North Carolina. She holds a BFA in Visual Arts from Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, Canada, and a Graphic Design Certificate from Parsons School of Design in New York City,Rebekah Andrade’s work explores the language of painting by way of expressionism, geometric abstraction, hard-edge painting, and pattern. Her process draws from past work, personal references, familiar forms, objects, textures, and symbols. This structured methodology is transmitted through selected colors of layered paint, collage, and mixed media techniques, always leaving traces of the process visible. Her intention with the work is to investigate and work through questions surrounding the history of representation, limits of perception, aesthetics, status, and reproduction of images, thus providing her insight and clarity into our contemporary visual culture and communicational trends.

In 2019, Andrade embarked on a transformative residency at Otis College of Art in Los Angeles, further expanding her creative horizons. Her innovative work has garnered attention across international borders, with exhibitions spanning Canada, the United States, and Chile. Her work has been published in Edeltraut, The Gathered Gallery, New American Painting #144.

The Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation is dedicated to continuing the legacy and vision of Frederick R. Weisman, an extraordinary entrepreneur, philanthropist, and art collector. He held an uncompromising belief in the cultural value of art and understood the importance of both the individual artist and the creative process. In carrying out Mr. Weisman’s intentions, the Foundation seeks to preserve, collect, and make publicly accessible his collection of modern and contemporary art as a means to strengthen and contribute to the greater artistic and intellectual life of our time. In 1982, Frederick R. Weisman purchased the Los Angeles estate to serve as a showcase for his personal collection of 20th-century art. He and his wife, Billie Milam Weisman, an art conservator and curator, worked together to create a unique environment located within the Mediterranean-style villa. More than four hundred works of art are on display at the Foundation.

The collection includes works by European Modernists, including Cezanne, Picasso, and Kandinsky, and Surrealist works by Ernst, Miro, and Magritte. The holdings in postwar art include works by Giacometti, Noguchi, Calder, Rauschenberg, and Johns; Abstract Expressionist paintings by de Kooning, Francis, Still, and Rothko; Color-Field paintings by Frankenthaler, Louis, and Noland; and Pop Art by Warhol, Lichtenstein, Oldenburg, and Rosenquist. Contemporary California works include those by Ruscha and Goode and Super Realist sculptures by Hanson and de Andrea. These holdings are part of a larger collection that Mr. Weisman established as the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation in 1982. 

Currently, under the direction of Billie Milam Weisman, the Foundation continues to make the collection available through loans to museums worldwide, docent tours at the Los Angeles estate, exhibitions in public-art venues, and the funding of several art museums, including the Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art at Pepperdine University in Malibu, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the San Diego Museum of Art, and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota, designed by Frank O. Gehry.

Two AMY ELKINS works acquired by Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University for their Permanent Collection

Posted on September 1, 2025 | Leave a comment

We are thrilled to share that two pieces from the AMY ELKINS photography series, A Place Where We Are in The Sun have just been acquired by Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University. One of these works, Akuuragna/Pasadena, Huntington Library Parking Lot (Fruiting Almond Tree) from 2021 is pictured above for your reference. 

Amy Elkins (American, b. 1979) is a visual artist and educator based in Northern California. She received her BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts and her MFA in Art Practice from Stanford University.  She works primarily in photography and installation and has been exhibited and published both nationally and internationally, including at The High Museum of Art in Atlanta, GA; South Bend Museum of Art in South Bend IN; MSU Broad Museum in Lansing, MI; Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna; the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, AZ; the Minneapolis Institute of Arts; North Carolina Museum of Art and more.  Her photographs have been published in American Photo, Conveyor, Dear Dave, EyeMazing, Financial Times, Harpers, Huffington Post, Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, NY Arts, New York Times, New Yorker, PDN, Real Simple, Stella and Vice among many others.   She was recently awarded a Fleishhacker Foundation Eureka Fellowship and Kala Media Arts Fellowship.  Past awards include the Aperture Portfolio Prize, Peter S. Reed Foundation grant, Cadogan Award and more.  Her work is in permanent collections at The High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA; Newcomb Museum of Art, New Orleans, LA; North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh, NC; The Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, CA; Light Work, Syracuse, NY; Aperture Foundation, New York, NY; Eleanor D. Wilson Museum, Roanoke, VA; RISD Museum, Providence, RI and more. 

Most recently Elkins’ work pivots to include explorations of self as well as her family’s deeply rooted and complex history in Southern California as an 8th generation traceably born on Tongva/Gabrielino land in the greater Los Angeles area with the ancestral blood of both colonized and colonizer.  Her approach is series-based, steeped in research and oscillates between formal, conceptual and documentary. 

A Place Where We Are In The Sun uses family archives, historical documents and early Alta California maps to trace the land loss, assimilation and resilience of Indigenous, Mexican and multiracial ancestors in Southern California from the perspective of an 8th generation Angeleno. Taken by trekking into land between what is now known as Lompoc and the Greater Los Angeles area, these physically manipulated and rephotographed archives work to unearth historical conditions permeating the soil my ancestors lived on: the enclosure of land under European notions of private property and the resulting displacement of indigenous/BIPOC communities from such spaces. 

The Cantor Arts Center plays a leading role in the cultural life of the Stanford campus and greater community, welcoming some 200,000 visitors a year to its 24 galleries. The Cantor Arts Center’s collection houses over 38,000 items, including African Art, American Art, Ancient Art, the Andy Warhol Photography Archive, Art of Asia and Oceania, Art of the Indigenous Americas, Auguste Rodin, Eadweard Muybridge, European Art, Modern and Contemporary Art, Photographs, Prints and Drawings, Richard Diebenkorn Sketchbooks, Sculptures on Campus, and collections and memorabilia of the Stanford Family. Penelope Umbrico is proud to be a part of their permanant collection.
