Mark Moore Fine Art and the artist are pleased to announce the acquisition of a major work by artist JOSH AZZARELLA by The Crocker Art Museum.

Josh Azzarella (b. 1978, Ohio) creates videos and photographs that explore the power of context in the authorship of memory, oftentimes utilizing seminal moments in pop culture and news media to create accessible confrontations with historiography. By illuminating the individual encounter with communal experiences, Azzarella evaluates the perception of realness – which can ultimately be rooted in both the fantastic as much as the pragmatic.
 
Azzarella was the recipient of the 2006 Emerging Artist Award and related solo exhibition from The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum (CT). He has previously shown at the California Museum of Photography (CA), University Art Museum, Long Beach (CA), Vancouver Art Gallery (Canada), Kavi Gupta Gallery (IL), Academie der Kunste (Berlin), Sean Kelly Gallery (NY), Catharine Clark Gallery (CA), Mississippi State University (MS), the Santa Barbara Museum of Art (CA) and DCKT Gallery (NY). His work is included in the permanent collection of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (CA), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA), the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PA), the Museum of Fine Arts Houston (TX), the San Diego Museum of Modern Art (CA), the Margulies Collection (FL), Western Bridge (WA) and Morgan Chase (NY). He lives and works in Easton, PA.

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 and the artist are pleased to announce the acquisition of a major work by artist JEFFRY MITCHELL by The Crocker Art Museum.

Jeffry Mitchell’s primary medium is ceramic and he is well versed in its traditions around the globe (references to Early American glazes, Pennsylvania Dutch pickle jars, asymmetrical Japanese aesthetic decisions and Chinese Foo Dogs abound). Mitchell takes a very direct approach to working, often eschewing refinements that commonly accompany many ceramic processes. The resulting pieces radiate an exuberant, unbridled immediacy. He feels that this unfettered approach is essentially relatable to our shared human experience. To explain this idea Mitchell talks about a fundamental familiarity with clay that we all carry with us from our formative years. Perhaps we came to it through playing as children making mud pies or maybe it was making pinch pots in elementary school, regardless he feels that clay is a material that is universally relatable at a very basic level. The imagery that he uses is also very accessible. Bears, elefants (he prefers ‘f’ to ‘ph’), bunnies and flowers appear over and over in his work and though they can be definitely be related to his own personal story he feels that these too spring from an early and universally familiar place. Throughout the work Mitchell seeks to tap into and broadcast a sense of vitality whether it be joyful or colored with more a complex mix of emotions. This throughline can been seen in the thick, dripping glazes, the unabashed appropriation of decorative motifs and an unmistakeable suffusion of playfulness.

Mitchell’s work can be found in numerous private and public collections including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Seattle Art Museum, Philadelphia Art Museum, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Philadelphia Art Museum, Fogg Art Museum (Harvard University), Honolulu Museum of Art, Tacoma Art Museum, the Portland Art Museum; Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, CA; and aMarjorie Barrick Museum (University of Nevada Las Vegas).

Mark Moore Fine Art is pleased to announce the acquisition of a major work by artist MARK BENNETT by the Santa Barbara Art Museum

Mark Moore Fine Art and the artist are pleased to announce the acquisition of a major work by artist MARK BENNETT by the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.

Mark Bennett‘s (b. 1956, Tennessee) whimsical works engage with pop culture and celebrity to an extreme degree. His blueprint lithographs of Baby Boom era sitcoms and popular television series depict the ultimate pairing of flight of fancy and stoical logic; the purely imaginary floor plans grounded by the dry format of an architect’s design. His works are both pleasingly nostalgic and vaguely disconcerting in their premonition of a society obsessed by television and celebrity culture.
 
Earning reverence from both critics and collectors alike, Bennett has been coined a master of nostalgia and social evaluation, acting as “the most earnest of his generation of West Coast artists drawing on popular culture” (Grady T. Turner, Art in America).
 
Since his induction into the gallery in 1995, Bennett has been included in over three dozen significant museum and group exhibitions, including those at the Corcoran Gallery of Art (D.C.), Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art (CT), Walker Art Center (MN) and Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA). 
 
Mark Bennett is in the Public Collections of several prestigious institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, NY, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in Los Angeles, CA. His works are also part of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Portland Art Museum in Portland, OR. Additionally, he is represented in The Contemporary Museum in Honolulu, Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN, and the New York Public Library in New York, NY. Other notable collections include the Orange County Museum of Art in Newport Beach, CA, the Children’s Museum in Indianapolis, IN, and the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery at St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY. His works can also be found at the University of Colorado in Boulder, CO, and the List Visual Arts Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA. He is included in the collections of Microsoft Corporation in Redmond, WA, and the West Collection in Oaks, PA, as well as the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, CA and the Laguna Art Museum in Laguna Beach, CA. Further representations can be found at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art at Utah State University. His artwork is also housed in the Museum of Fine Art in Houston, the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, CA, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation in Los Angeles, CA, Seattle Art Museum, Herbert F. Johnson Museum at Cornell University, and the McNay Museum in San Antonio, TX.

Mark Moore Fine Art is pleased to announce the acquisition of a major work by artist DAVID KLAMEN by the Santa Barbara Art Museum

Mark Moore Fine Art and the artist are pleased to announce the acquisition of a major work by artist DAVID KLAMEN by Santa Barbara Museum of Art.

David Klamen (American, b.1961) is a contemporary painter whose work grows in conjunction with his interest in philosophy and scholarship, centralized around the questions,”How do I know what I know?” and “How do I know myself?” Klamen paints figuratively and abstractly, sometimes combining the two by incorporating geometric lines or patterns atop his high finished landscapes. Says Paul Gray of Richard Gray Gallery, “His current paintings test epistemological strategies as diverse as OP Art (and its implication that knowledge may be a purely retinal experience), empiricism (the idea that the sole source of knowledge is direct quantifiable experience), introspection, and others. In this investigation, Klamen plays with the history of art, utilizing modern and pre-modern conventions as metaphors for our communal search for meaning.”
 
In contrast to the tradition of artists creating works informed by a consistent visual language, David Klamen’ watercolors (like the one here) embraces an aesthetic diversity that is directed instead by an exploration of an expanding idea. In recent years, the scale of his work has shifted from tiny to larger than life, the imagery from pictorial to digital abstraction, and the tone from the silent to the aggressive, yet in each there is a common commitment. All of these works use various visual images and processes to investigate the question of how we know our culture and ourselves. His current paintings and drawings test epistemological strategies as diverse as OP Art (and its implication that knowledge may be a purely retinal experience), empiricism (the idea that the sole source of knowledge is direct quantifiable experience), introspection, memory, and others. In this investigation, Klamen plays with the history of art, utilizing modern and pre-modern conventions as metaphors for our communal search for meaning.
 
In his recent body of landscape-based work, Klamen examines the veracity of his memories, creating images based upon the distant recollections of his surrounding childhood environment. Beginning each work with paper that is saturated with an even black layer of graphite. Klamen slowly reveals the imagery by erasing the highlights, uncovering and discovering the nuances of his memory from the depths of the graphite surface. These quiet, humid, existential spaces share a familiarity that emerges from the accumulated embodied experiences of his past. Each work celebrates and solidifies a fleeting facet of his prior experience.
 
In many of these works, Klamen incorporates geometric tubes or patterns that float atop his highly refined landscapes. These contrast the sensuous memory of his embodied experience in the landscape with a present and vivid abstract element, overlapping two seemingly incompatible planes of cognition. The results are meditative and quiet, engaging the audience with deep tonal values and extreme control.  They ask the viewer to look more than once into the complexity of each work and encourage a shared comparison of our memories with the present moment.
 
Klamen’s work has been exhibited in international-level solo and group exhibitions across the US, Europe and Asia. His works are in the permanent collections of numerous museums including: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco; the Chazen Museum of Art in Madison, Wisconsin; The Berkeley Museum of Art in California; The Illinois State Museum, Springfield; the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul, Korea; and the McNay Museum, San Antonio. Klamen earned his Bachelors of Fine Arts at the University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana, and his Masters of Fine Arts in Painting at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago.
 
As one of the leading art museums on the West Coast, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art serves a diverse audience of approximately 70,000 people annually. The Museum offers a wide variety of educational and interpretive programs to this broad audience. Our 75-member Docent Council provides over 800 gallery tours and slide talks annually.

The Museum’s collection of the arts of Asia, Europe, and the Americas includes paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, photographs, ceramics, glass, jades, bronzes, lacquer, and textiles.

Check Out GIVE A BEAR HUG TO THE THINGS THAT SCARE YOU THER MOST – A New Documentary About Artist Heidi Schwegler

Check out the trailer to a short documentary about the artist HEIDI SCHWEGLER at: https://bit.ly/4g4UO8Y

GIVE A BEAR HUG TO THE THINGS THAT SCARE YOU THER MOST is a documentary about the artist Heidi Schwegler. Faced with a crisis in her art practice, Schwegler leaves for unfamiliar settings, and begins to see her surroundings in new ways.

Heidi Schwegler explores a wide range of materials in the service of her subject matter. Drawn to the peripheral ruin, she deftly incorporates found objects with traditional craft and sculpture media. “When [an object] is no longer contextualized by function and ownership, the discarded thing’s anonymity and ambiguity render it pervious to the imagination,” she says, approaching such things as a source of investigation. “I consider its formal qualities as raw material – but a very particular raw material that is both new and an indicator of past use, past value and past purpose.”

Schwegler’s accolades include an Individual Artist Fellowship from the Oregon Arts Commission, Hallie Ford Fellowship and two MacDowell Colony Fellowships in the Visual Arts. She was artist-in-residence at MacDowell, Pilchuck, VCCA, Yaddo, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, and Bullseye Glass Company, among others. Notable exhibitions of her work include the 2018 Bellevue Art Museum Biennial, Portland2016: A Biennial of Contemporary Art, curated by Michelle Grabner and presented by Disjecta Contemporary Art Center; her 10-year retrospective, Botched Execution, at The Art Gym at Marylhurst University, OR and the Sheldon Museum of Art in Lincoln, NE. Schwegler holds a BFA from the University of Kansas and MFA from the University of Oregon. She lives and works in Yucca Valley, CA where is the founding director of Yucca Valley Material Lab. where is the founding director of Yucca Valley Material Lab.

Her sculptural work is in the permanent collection of the Portland Art Museum, Laguna Art Museum, Schneider Museum of Art, Crocker Museum, The Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation Collection, and the Hallie Ford Museum.

BREAKING THE CODE: A New Biographical Documentary Film About The Life Of Artist Vernon Fisher

BREAKING THE CODE: A New Biographical Documentary Film About The Life Of Artist Vernon Fisher

Best Historical Film, Dallas International Film Festival
Official Selection, Los Angeles Independent Film Festival
Official Selection, Thin Line Fest
Official Selection, Frame of Mind (PBS)

Prolepsis Pictures is proud to announce the World Premiere of “Breaking the Code”, a feature-length biographical documentary about the life of Fort Worth-based artist Vernon Fisher. We also plan to broadcast the film Texas-wide on PBS affiliate program Frame of Mind in October. 

 
Vernon Fisher has mounted major exhibitions at museums including the Smithsonian Institution, Guggenheim Museum and Museum of Modern Art in New York, among many others. He is the only Dallas-Fort Worth-born artist to receive a retrospective at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth — a space that has also hosted similar
exhibitions for artists including Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso.
 
More important than Fisher’s accomplishments, however, is the content of his art. Not only is he such a masterfully technical painter that viewers often mistake his chalkboard-style paintings as actually being made with chalk, but he is also renowned for the emotional, psychological and philosophical depth of his work.

Mark Moore Fine Art is pleased to announce the acquisition of a major video work by artist collective OKAY MOUNTAIN by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston for their Permanent Collection

COLLECTION OF THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS HOUSTON

Mark Moore Fine Art and the artist are pleased to announce the acquisition of a major video work by artist collective OKAY MOUNTAIN by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston for the Permanent Collection. 

Okay Mountain is a nine member artist collective based in Austin, Texas. Formed in 2006 as an artist-run alternative gallery space, the group has exhibited their drawing, video, sound, and performance projects throughout the United States and in Mexico City, and has been widely recognized for its “inventive construction, loving attention to detail and keen-eyed connoisseurship.” Okay Mountain repackages, reconstitutes, and rekindles our consumerist desires with a sardonic edge. Their installations and multi-media assemblage works mimic the stock vernacular of our communal materialism, yet tweak them just enough to reveal our superficial insecurities and convictions. While most artists are alumni of the University of Texas at Austin (TX), others are graduates of University of California Los Angeles (CA), Rhode Island School of Design (RI), and the University of Kansas (KS). Institutional exhibitions have included those at the Blaffer Art Museum at the University of Houston (TX), Austin Museum of Art (TX), McNay Art Museum (TX), Arthouse (TX), University of Tennessee, Chattanooga (TN), and the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum (MA). Their work is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Art Houston (TX), Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art (CT), McNay Museum of Art (TX), Orange County Museum of Art (CA), Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (CA), Santa Barabara Museum of Art (CA), and Vanderbilt University (TN). 

Water, Water, Everywhere So Let’s All Have a Drink takes the visual language of late-night television as its basic formal premise. The video, a quick succession of clips meant to invoke the activity of channel surfing, recreates the aesthetic and embodied experience of mindlessly scanning TV. First exhibited at the Austin Museum of Art, the work was projected onto a larger-than-life sculpture of a television set. Since then it has been screened at Prospect 1.5 in New Orleans, the Heuser Art Center, and the Dallas Biennale. Some of the tropes that Water, Water lampoons and celebrates, include, low-budget infomercials, how-to programs, home-shopping networks, sitcoms, and local news programming. The resulting visual assemblage attempts to make sense out of the overwhelming disconnection brought about by contemporary media’s image factory.

With its encyclopedic collection and an exciting schedule of international loan exhibitions and award-winning programs, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is one of the premier destinations in the United States for art lovers. Established in 1900, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston’s collection numbers nearly 70,000 works and embraces the art of antiquity to the present.

The collecting department of modern and contemporary art has grown to more than 1,400 objects spanning six continents. Major figures in the evolution Modern and Contemporary art, with a particular emphasis on the progress of abstraction, are represented across the 20th century and into the 21st and include works by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Piet Mondrian. The Surrealist era is introduced with works by Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Roberto Matta, Joan Miró, and Yves Tanguy. Postwar European artists in the collection range from Pierre Alechinsky, Anthony Caro, Niki de Saint-Phalle, and Jean Tinguely to Rebecca Horn, Anselm Kiefer, Giuseppe Penone, and Gerhard Richter. Collecting in the new millennium has opened up new avenues of exploration, from the light-based works of James Turrell, Jennifer Steinkamp, and Bill Viola to artists who challenge accepted art-historical narratives, including Nan Goldin, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, Do Ho Suh, and Fred Wilson.
