Our first catalog focused on the generation of artists who came of age after World War II, many of whom studied with Hans Hofmann, along with the generation of painters who followed them. This time we include subsequent generations of painters in their twenties, thirties and forties. We are particularly happy to present works from the estates of Gandy Brodie, John Heliker, Earl Kerkam and Seymour Remenick, post war New York painters much acknowledged by their peers and perceptive critics of the period. Thomas Hess wrote about Earl Kerkam that he ”walked around like a ghost from a Kenneth Fearing socialist-realist poem of the 1930’s. And the fantastic thing about that ghost, color of tobacco juice and cherryphosphate, was that it sheltered a pure dream of delectable painting.” This catalog is dedicated to the spirit of Earl Kerkam (1891-1965). For purposes of clarity there is a code at the bottom of each page indicating which dealer to contact for a specific work. We hope you enjoy looking through this as much as we enjoy working with the material. We look forward to being in touch with you.
