Sky Leaf (Downtown Los Angeles Sky Over Pasadena), 2015/2021

Hand-sawn and formed aluminum with infused dye sublimation; archival ultrachrome print

13" x 15" x 2.5"

Value: $850

Description: "Since 2015, I've been working on a public artwork, Sky Leaves, featuring leaf forms from the oldest living trees found on our planet, and surfaced with photographs of skies from their regions. Sky Leaf (Downtown Los Angeles Sky Over Pasadena) is an extension of that idea and imagines the movement of a leaf carrying a segment of the sky.

Many of the series that weave through my studio practice are natural progressions of my environmental work called Smog Collectors. Innovated in 1987, Smog Collectors use smog's particulate matter to create images. I'm forever struck (if not jolted) by the atmospheric effects of air pollution and the idea of the global, contiguous sky. My artworks charting the sky began in 1993 when I duplicated in paint, the color of the same spot of sky for sixty days. The work culminated in an installation entitled, Sky Patch. In 2012, I started work for the ongoing series Shared Skies. Trading with people around the world, a sky photograph is offered in exchange for a print featuring their sky with those of other participants. The series has involved Polar Educators International as well as schools and colleges and communities. A permanent installation at the Anderson-Munger YMCA in Koreatown/Los Angeles includes suspended back-lit skies, a 20-ft ellipse of woven skies, and a legend identifying each sky location and the name of the photographer. In a global sense, we can imagine an interrelatedness through a seamless sky and observe the effects of our environmental choices. From the Salt Flats of Bolivia to Grand Forks in the United States, and Maasai Mara, Kenya to Pine Ridge, Oglala Sioux Tribe, our skies portray the connected parts of our place on this earth. If one does not love the world, that same person will not imagine a need to protect it."

Tanya Aguiniga (b. 1978) is a Los Angeles based artist/designer/craftsperson who was raised in Tijuana, Mexico. She holds an MFA in furniture design from Rhode Island School of Design and a BA from San Diego State University. In her formative years she created various collaborative installations with the Border Arts Workshop, an artists' group that engages the languages of activism and community-based public art. Her current work uses craft as a performative medium to generate dialogues about identity, culture and gender while creating community. This approach has helped Museums and non-profits in the United States and Mexico diversify their audiences by connecting marginalized communities through collaboration.

In 2020 the Armory presented the exhibition, Tanya Aguiniga: Borderlands Within/La Frontera Adentro.

Summer Night, 1966

Watercolor on paper

12" x 16"

Value: $10,000

This work is signed and framed.

Includes a copy of Sara Kathryn Arledge: Serene for the Moment catalogue.

Description:

Sara Kathryn Arledge (1911-1998) was a prolific painter who was better known as an innovator of midcentury experimental cinema. Born in the Mojave Desert, she lived most of her life in Pasadena, CA, where she worked at the margins of the art establishment, creating a diverse and experimental body of work that operated in a space between painting and film. In Summer Night, bleeding lines of tropical pinks, blues, reds, and greens shape a distant landscape overlaid with animated, inky forms, evoking shadow-puppet theater or an asymmetrical Rorschach test. In 2019 the Armory mounted the survey exhibition, Sara Kathryn Arledge: Serene for the Moment.

(Not) A Perfect Fit

Graphite and acrylic gouache on clayboard

10" x 8" x 3/4"

Value: $300

This work is unframed.

Description: "A few years ago, I spent some time in Iceland and became fascinated by Thingvellir National Park, the area where the North American and the Eurasian plates meet. I began to imagine them once being connected and breaking apart. I started wondering what would happen if you tried to push them back together; would they match up? The idea of things once being one piece, breaking into two, and then changing made me think of a broken relationship, or of how we grow apart from friends or family as we move far away and get older. We may have fit together in the past, our edges matching, but now what remains is two pieces that have been smoothed over and further cracked by time and weathering and change.

All my work centers around kinship, intimacy, and familial ties. My drawings and sculptures often involves natural forms I am drawn to both in the body, and in nature. I am constantly investigating how we interact with one another, how we support each other, and how we grow apart or grow together. I have made many pieces that show two entities interacting, seeing their full forms, as well as their interaction. With this piece, I decided to zoom in on the interaction of these two entities. This work focuses in on the moments of connection and disconnect between the forms, rather than on the forms as a whole. "

These small paintings yell out, 'Pay attention to the birds!'"

Value: $1,000

This work is unframed.

Description: "This work is part of an ongoing series of artworks that read "WAITING". What the word refers to is open ended. At a personal level, as an artist living on the U.S./Mexico border region, it could be mundane things such as the border wait time to cross back from Mexico to the U.S., or as an adjunct art instructor teaching at various colleges, for the opportunity of a full-time teaching position or of a more stable job in my field. Under the current situation, the work could refer to how we are all waiting for the pandemic to end, and at a social and political level, for change that would benefit the majority. But while I'm waiting, I am also making. "

Satsuma Tiger Moth, 2021

Handwoven cotton, wool, and acrylic

Woven area 15" x 10.75"

Value: $525

Work is unframed.

Description: "Weaving is a meditation, and while creating this tapestry I often reflected on the relationship between plants, insects, and the Earth. Especially during the pandemic, I have found great solace in embracing and celebrating the natural rhythms around me."

Artist Statement: "Over the past few years, I've worked with a variety of art mediums (film, drawing, painting, sculpture, weaving) that have each presented its own unique challenges. A through line in my work, however, is an interest in constructing a world, and conveying narrative through movement and compelling visuals. The ideas I contend with in my work are sometimes darker and more serious, but I have always approached it with a sense of playfulness and whimsicality. This approach represents perhaps one way in which we might come to terms with life's absurdities and contradictions."

Dave Muller

LOL, 2021

Acrylic and aluminum paint on gessoed plywood panel

9 1/2" diameter x 1 1/4"(24.1cm diameter x 3.2cm)

Retail: $4,500

This work is not suitable for framing.

Description: Muller appropriates album art in a painterly style that is both whimsical and factual. The paintings are autobiographical and expressive; adoring as well as historically referential. He is careful to include details like hype stickers, anachronistic price tags, and extinct record shop labels, always attending to age, use, wear, and tear. Smaller paintings fit inside the central holes of larger ones, offering the contextual effect of a re-mix or playlist. These paintings tell idiosyncratic stories of politics, subculture, and atmosphere that have morphed through eras and cultures.

In addition to being the shape of a record, the circle has been a fertile form that Muller continues to revisit. Early paintings and sculptures depicted disco balls, flower balls, and clover balls. Watercolors of newspaper cutouts were arranged in star-like rings. Though the paintings are not 3-D, they are sculptural--Muller suggests, "perhaps 2 ½-D." "Spheres often appear in nature. Bubbles are held together by surface tension. Plants might group in spherical clusters to maximize the amount of light striking a given volume. You curl up into a ball to stay warm."

Artist bio: Dave Muller was born in 1964 in San Francisco and lives and works in Los Angeles. His work has been the subject of numerous exhibitions in the United States and abroad, including solo shows at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis; Museo de Arte Contemporánea de Castilla y León, León, Spain; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA; and St. Louis Art Museum, MI. His work is represented in the public collections of such notable institutions as the Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Henry Art Gallery, Seattle, WA; Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA; Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, CA; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY, among others.

Gina Osterloh

Film Still, 2014

1/20

Digital print

10" x 8"

Value: $300

This work is framed

Description: This digital print is originally from 16mm analog film, a select still frame from Gina Osterloh's film loop titled Press and Outline (2014). In Press and Outline, Gina Osterloh presses into and outlines her own shadow projected onto a wall. Both odd as well as intimate - the physical body and its shadow simultaneously oppose and support each other, and at times are rendered indiscernible - underscoring the psychological split between illusion and reality, perception and projection.

Using very slow shutter speeds I have trained my camera on Jupiter, the solar eclipse, a full moon and even New York's Grand Central Station ceiling and spelled out an array of letters and shapes. Each letter or shape bears the trace of the movement and unsteadiness of my wrist as well as registers contact with the infinite and timeless."

Julieta Reynoso (Armory Teaching Artist)

Untitled, 2001

Edition 5/10

Photography - C Print

17" x 21" (framed)

Value: $250

This work is framed.

Description: "This photograph is representative of my ongoing documentation of the urban landscape that has been the backdrop to much of my life. Where some might see blight or urban decay, I have often found things worthy of capture and preservation, things full of history, complexity, and beauty. I have found a subversive kind of pleasure, taking the more hostile elements of our city, barbed wire for example and transforming them into something that feels different, softer, and less menacing."

Artist bio: Julieta was born in Mexico City and raised in LA. She is an educator and fine artist. Her artistic practices include ceramics, graphic design, photography, and screen-printing. She has exhibited work in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, Tijuana, and Mexico City and has collaborated on several mural projects throughout L.A. She has contributed to local zines, designed album graphics for local artists, and recently worked as a still photographer for a documentary on Cuban combat photographer, Perfecto Romero. Some of her earlier work, including this photo, was published in Graffiti Woman by Nicholas Ganz.

Richard Tuttle

Nature-Media/I, 2014

AP15 of 16

4-color etching

11" x 7.5"

Value: $1,600

This work is unframed.

Artist bio:

Richard Tuttle has revolutionized the landscape of contemporary art, challenging rules and notions of genre and media.
His work exceeds rational determinations, sensitizing viewers to perception and the unconscious, and engages aspects of painting, drawing, sculpture, bookmaking, printmaking, and installation.

Exposed to the Pop movement and the beginnings of Minimalism as a young artist, Tuttle began to explore the possibilities of material and form freed from historical allusion and precedent. Early investigations into the merging of painting and sculpture are evident in his Constructed paintings which exist in a liminal space between mediums. For Tuttle, the 1980s and 1990s marked wider experimentation with material and a move toward in-the-round constructions. He began incorporating the frame as an element in his compositions, collapsing the boundaries between the artwork and its surrounding space.

Tuttle's engagement with scale, light, and systems of display have endured throughout his oeuvre and can be seen in his attention to marginal spaces such as floors, corners, and over door frames. Rejecting the rationality and precision of Minimalism, Tuttle embraced a handmade quality and the invention of forms that emphasize the occupation of these space along with volume. Over the course of his career, he has continued to overturn traditional constraints of material, medium, and method that engages a variety of traditional and non-traditional processes such as in his wire, small-scale collage, dyed cloth, and octagonal pieces.

Richard Tuttle draws beauty and poetry out of humble materials, creating works that exist in the present moment, reflect the fragility of the world, and allow for individual experiences of perception.
