Historic, Modernist & Providence School Works

The Bert Gallery Studio Sale: Historic, Modern & Highlights from the Providence School brings artworks to market for the collector or dealer who seeks accomplished artists with well- established exhibition and museum records. Each painting is well documented with extensive written descriptions for each entry allowing buyers to discover many new names in American Art. This auction features a special concentration of The Providence School artists from the 19th century over 15 lots. Providence boasts of a deep cultural heritage rare in a modestly sized American city. These deep artistic roots were established in 1878 with the foundation of a remarkable art school, Rhode Island School of Design, and a strong independent art club, The Providence Art Club founded in in 1880, is the third oldest continually operating art club in America. It was the first art club in the US to admit women as members. Works by founding members of the Providence Art Club and early instructors at RISD include George Whitaker, S.R. Burleigh, Hugo Breul, W.S. Drown, Walter Francis Brown, W. Alden Brown, & H.A. Dyer. There are works by the ever-popular RI and Rockport Art Association artist Antonio Cirino with a trademark harbor scene and the popular figurative theatrical figures by James D. Herbert. The Modernist section of our auction has several works from the Walter Feldman Trust for Artwork Brown University. Feldman was Yale trained under J. Albers and DeKooning coming to Providence in 1952. Also included are two women printmakers, RISD instructor Eliza Gardiner and the Bauhus artist Margarete Bittkow-Koehler who shared a lifetime art friendship with the Albers, Feiningers and Klees all forced to flee their German homeland to America in the 1930?s.
