Mark Moore Fine Art is proud to announce that the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) has acquired a recent work on canvas by artist REBEKAH ANDRADE for its permanent collection.

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. The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) at UTC is Tennessee’s first Institute of Contemporary Art. Housed in the Fine Arts Center at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, it serves as a creative epicenter and public gallery, bringing regional, national, and international contemporary art to the campus and the broader Chattanooga community.Founded in 2021, the ICA evolved from the university’s longstanding Cress Gallery of Art. While the former gallery primarily focused on local talent, student, and faculty shows, the ICA was launched to expand the space’s purpose, bringing in bold, adventurous contemporary exhibitions that foster creativity and artistic inquiry.

Mark Moore Fine Art is proud to announce that Museum of Fine Arts, Houston has acquired two works on paper by artist LISA STEFANELLI for its permanent collection

Mark Moore Fine Art is proud to announce that Museum of Fine Arts, Houston has acquired two works on paper by artist LISA STEFANELLI for its permanent collection. 

Lisa Stefanelli (American, born 1966) is a painter known for her work in hardline, linear abstraction. Her “Melee” series (1998-2015) is associated with her formative years as a competitive figure skater. Made of automotive paint on panel and using a multitude of visual references, the paintings represent a conversation around the artist’s view of our relationships. They display both grace and complexity in their entanglements, trajectories, and occasional estrangements, and attempt to resolve the struggle that they depict and embody. In the 2010s, Stefanelli began a digital practice centered around concepts from the natural world. This work suggests that all human actions have natural origins.

Most recent solo exhibitions include Robischon Gallery, Denver, Colorado, Pentimenti Gallery, Philadelphia, Penn, Pierogi Gallery, NYC, Robischon Gallery, and Mark Moore Gallery, Los Angeles, California. She has work in the collections of the United States Department of State, Washington DC, The West Collection, Oaks, PA, The Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University, MA, The Mondstudio Collection at the Kunstmuseum, Berne, Switzerland, The Albright Knox Gallery, Buffalo, NY and The Wynn Collection, Las Vegas, NV. Lisa Stefanelli is an artist living and working in New York City and Easton, Pennsylvania. She attended the Rhode Island School of Design and received her degree in 1989. She has been a practicing artist for the last three decades. 

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), is an art museum located in the Houston Museum District of Houston, Texas. The permanent collection of the museum spans more than 5,000 years of history with nearly 80,000 works from six continents. The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) is the oldest art museum in Texas. In 1917, the museum site was dedicated by the Houston Public School Art League (later the Houston Art League) with the intention of becoming a public art museum. The first museum building was opened to the public in 1924.The original building, designed by Houston architect William Ward Watkin in the Greek Neoclassical style, is the first art museum built in Texas. Today the MFAH encompasses three buildings, the Caroline Wiess Law, Audrey Jones Beck, and Nancy and Rich Kinder buildings, that house its primary collections and temporary exhibitions; two decorative arts house museums; The Glassell studio art school; a sculpture garden; a facility for conservation, storage and archives; and an administrative building with the Glassell Junior school of Art.

Mark Moore Fine Art is proud to announce that LAGUNA ART MUSEUM has acquired a major sculpture work by artist ALLISON SCHULNIK for its permanent collection.
 
Allison Schulnik uses painting, ceramics, and hand-made, traditional animation to choreograph her subjects in compositions that embody a spirit of the macabre, a Shakespearean comedy/tragedy of love, death, and farce.  Her works were compared to “the comic-grotesque visionary James Ensor” by The New York Times. 

Schulnik has been making animated films since she was 17.  Her films have been included in internationally renowned festivals and museums including the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, LACMA, Annecy International Animated Film Festival and Animafest Zagreb.  She received “Best Experimental Animation” at the Ottawa International Animation Festival and Special Jury Prize at SXSW FIlm.

Solo exhibitions include the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, CT; Laguna Art Museum, Laguna Beach, CA; Oklahoma City Museum of Art, OK; Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, KS; Mark Moore Gallery, Los Angeles; ZieherSmith, New York, NY; and Galeria Javier Lopez & Fer Frances, Madrid.  Schulnik’s work is in the public collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego; Santa Barbara Art Museum; Museé de Beaux Arts (Montreal); Laguna Art Museum; The Crocker Art Museum; Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art; and The Albright-Knox Gallery; Marjorie Barrick Museum (University of Nevada Las Vegas) – to name but a few.  She lives and works in Sky Valley, CA.
 
Founded in 1918, the Laguna Art Museum is located at 307 Cliff Drive in Laguna Beach, CA. It is the oldest cultural institution in Orange County. Dedicated exclusively to California art, the museum preserves the state’s history through a permanent collection of over 3,500 works spanning from 1860 to the present. The museum began as the Laguna Beach Art Association, formed by a small group of local artists (including Edgar Payne, who served as its first president in 1920). In 1929, the association opened a custom-built gallery designed by noted Los Angeles architect Myron Hunt. This original space is now preserved as the museum’s Steele Gallery. It was renamed the Laguna Beach Museum of Art in 1972 and took on its current name in 1986 following an expansion.

Mark Moore Fine Art is proud to announce that The Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation has acquired a classic DIRK STASCHKE ceramic sculpture for its permanent collection. 

Dirk Staschke is best known for his exploration of Dutch Vanitas still life themes in the medium of ceramics. His current body of work explores the space in between sculpture and painting. His work often uses meticulous representation as foil for examining skill and craft. He received his BFA from the University of Montevallo followed by an MFA from Alfred University and has maintained an ongoing studio practice and extensive exhibition record for twenty-three years. During this time, he has taught at many notable universities, including Emily Carr University, Alfred University, and New York University. His work has been shown internationally and resides in the permanent collections of several museums, including the Smithsonian Museum in Washington (DC), Icheon Museum, World Ceramic Center (Gwango-dong) South Korea; Crocker Museum (CA); the Portland Art Museum (OR); and Marjorie Barrick Museum (University of Nevada Las Vegas). He has received various artists’ grants, including grants from The Virginia Groot Foundation and the Canada Council on the Arts.

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. 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. The villa was designed by Gordon B. Kaufmann in the late 1920s and exhibits the craftsmanship characteristics of that period, including hand-painted ceilings, stucco details, and wood-inlaid floors.

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.

Mark Moore Fine Art is proud to announce that the SEATTLE ART MUSEUM has acquired a second major work from the NEWSPAPER Series by artist KIM RUGG for its permanent collection

Mark Moore Fine Art is proud to announce that the SEATTLE ART MUSEUM has acquired a second major work from the NEWSPAPER Series by artist KIM RUGG for its permanent collection. 

Kim Rugg is renowned for her meticulous and labor-intensive work which involves deconstructing and slicing an object into minute shards to then re-organize and reconstruct it according to arbitrary codes. The original meaning is removed to reveal new ones, and to corrupt or destroy the object’s function. This act of mischievous “sabotage” is applied to ephemeral and iconic objects such as newspapers, comic books, product boxes, sweaters, and stamps, and more recently to larger formats such as wallpaper and furniture – and, by doing so, she turns a neutral vehicle for a message into an object to be considered.By giving value to something which would normally be disposed of, Rugg transgresses conventional systems by obliterating what is conceived to be the important element, “the content”, and retaining everything else, the material, the shapes, the typography, the color palettes, and the layout. Through these works, she continues her investigation into the relationship between images and their signifier. Rugg questions the way in which the information we process daily is preconceived and prompts the viewer to consider the familiar from an entirely new perspective.Matter is neither created nor destroyed in Kim Rugg’s work, but surgically, strategically repurposed. Rugg reconfigures familiar printed materials: here newspapers, magazines, and maps; previously also postage stamps, comic books and cereal boxes. By altering their forms and tweaking or altogether eliminating their legibility, she slams on the visual brakes, forcing a closer, slower inspection of objects we typically look through rather than at. The raw materials of her enterprise give up their transparency and functionality as information delivery systems to become instead sculptural interpretations of those same systems. They sacrifice one type of authority but assume another. 

Kim Rugg received her MFA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art (London). Her work can be seen in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Art (D.C.) and the Frederick R. Weisman Foundation (CA), the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (CA), Honolulu Museum of Art, the Norton Museum (FL), and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston (TX) among others. She has been included in exhibitions at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art (CA), Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts (NY), Galerie Schmidt Maczollek (Cologne), and Nettie Horn Gallery (Manchester), P.P.O.W. Gallery (NYC), and was the recipient of the Thames and Hudson Prize from the Royal College of Art Society in 2004. She lives and works in London (UK). 

The Seattle Art Museum (SAM) is the largest visual arts institution in the Pacific Northwest, featuring a collection of over 25,000 artworks from around the world. Located in downtown Seattle near Pike Place Market, it serves as a central cultural hub, with two additional locations: the Seattle Asian Art Museum in Volunteer Park and the Olympic Sculpture Park on the waterfront. The collection features diverse, global art ranging from ancient to contemporary, including significant Northwest Coast Native American art, African art, and modern installations.
