FRANK, ROBERT (1924-2019)
South Carolina, 1955, printed circa 1979. Gelatin silver print, 8 1/2 by 13 inches (216 by 330 mm), signed in ink in the margin, the photographer's archive and copyright stamps, with credit, date '1979,' and number '2625' in ink. In generally very good condition. There is a circular glossy deposit and a black deposit, both of indeterminate nature, in the lower right quadrant. When examined closely in raking light, the following are visible: a few deposits of original retouching; several linear impressions; and a hairline scratch in the upper left quadrant which does not appear to break the emulsion. In the margins are the following: several tack-holes; a stray red pencil mark in the upper right; and general wear, creasing, age-darkening, and chipping to the edges, most noticeably at the lower right corner. The reverse is fully covered with a sheet of dry-mounting tissue, which is curling slightly at the corners. '383 [circled]' is written in an unidentified hand in pencil.

NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle held a successful sale in the popular Fine Art auction category on December 5, 2024. Showcased were paintings, prints and sculpture spanning the Post-War years to the present day by established and emerging artists.
Jamini Roy's Black Horse was a highlight of the sale receiving multiple bids internationally and selling for $8,960 against an estimate of $5,000-7,000. A wonderful example of artist's practice of blending Bengali patachitra paintings with flattened modernist elements, Roy's work has received new acclaim in recent years for ushering a unique identify for Indian art in modernist era. Declared a national treasure under Indian law, collectors are increasingly vying to acquire a work by him on the international art market.
Robert Moore Kulicke was a renaissance man with a deep understanding of the history of art and a reverence for the art of his own time. He was a master frame-maker, designing frames for Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, and MoMA, as well as making period frames for works by Giotto and Leonardo da Vinci. Kulicke was also a renowned goldsmith who excelled in the art of cloisonné. And of course, he was a painter. His still lifes evoke Morandi with their quiet solitude and Manet with jewel-like colors set against rich greys. These qualities are on full display in Wildflowers in a Glass Jar with Fallen Blossom, which sold for $12,160 more than doubling its estimate of $3,000-5,000.
