      • Small Mary Abbott Abstract Expressionist Painting
        Nov. 13, 2024

        Small Mary Abbott Abstract Expressionist Painting

        Est: $1,000 - $2,000

        Mary Lee Abbott (American, 1921-2019). Abstract expressionist watercolor painting in blue and yellow. Signed along the lower right; further signed along the verso. Mary Abbott was an influential American abstract expressionist painter known for her vibrant and dynamic works. Born in New York City, Abbott was deeply embedded in the art scene of the mid-20th century, a period marked by a flourishing of abstract expressionism. She was notably associated with a pioneering group of women artists who played critical roles in shaping this movement including: Jay DeFeo, Helen Frankenthaler, Sonia Gechtoff, Judith Godwin, Grace Hartigan, Elaine de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Deborah Remington, and Ethel Schwabacher. Abbott's style is characterized by bold color, energetic brushwork, and a sense of spontaneity that captures the essence of abstract expressionism. Her work reflects a deep engagement with the emotional and psychological aspects of abstraction, often exploring themes of movement and fluidity.

        MARY ABBOTT Patience. Gouache, color pastels, crayon and black chalk on wove paper, circa 1960. 180x230 mm; 7¼x9¼ inches. Signed and titled in black crayon, verso. Provenance: Private collection, New York. Abbott (1921-2019) was born in New York City to a prominent family descended from John Quincy Adams. She knew she wanted to pursue art from a young age and studied with George Grosz at the Art Students League before continuing her studies at Subjects of the Artist (a short-lived school that promoted avant-garde art movements such as Abstract Expressionism) where she worked with Mark Rothko, David Hare and Barnett Newman. She set up a studio on 10th Street in Manhattan and associated with the circle of artists that included Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock and was one of three female members of "The Club" who met weekly to discuss art. She enjoyed spending time in nature and her work often captured her emotional response to the world around her, rearranging elements of the natural world in abstraction. She has said about her work: "I like the process of painting. The intensity of living nature through myself—using the medium, paint, color, and line defining the poetry of living space; that is my aim, life and work."

        MARY ABBOTT Two color pastels.

        Est: $2,000 - $3,000

        MARY ABBOTT Two color pastels. Patience * City Nightingale's Song. Both color pastels on cream wove paper. Both 198x238 mm; 7 3/4x9 1/2 inches. Both signed in ink, lower right recto, and titled in ink, verso, one signed in ink, verso. Provenance: Private collection, New York. Abbott (1921-2019) was born in New York City to a prominent family descended from John Quincy Adams. She knew she wanted to pursue art from a young age and studied with George Grosz at the Art Students League before continuing her studies at Subjects of the Artist (a short-lived school that promoted avant-garde art movements such as Abstract Expressionism) where she worked with Mark Rothko, David Hare and Barnett Newman. She set up a studio on 10th Street in Manhattan and associated with the circle of artists that included Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock and was one of three female members of "The Club" who met weekly to discuss art. She enjoyed spending time in nature and her work often captured her emotional response to the world around her, rearranging elements of the natural world in abstraction. She has said about her work: "I like the process of painting. The intensity of living nature through myself—using the medium, paint, color, and line defining the poetry of living space; that is my aim, life and work."
