Est: $25,000 - $30,000
WANDA KOOP UNTITLED (BLUE SATELLITE CITY), 2002 acrylic and gouache on canvas signed; titled and dated to gallery label on the reverse 49 ins x 84 ins; 124.5 cms x 213.4 cms Provenance: Leo Kamen Gallery, Toronto Private Collection, New York Wanda Koop is one of Canada’s foremost landscape painters. Her signature canvases are composed of minimal forms and densely layered colours, seemingly simple compositions that reveal the complexities of a world that is part science fiction imaginary and part too-true reality. Deeply aware of the damage humans are imposing on the biosphere, Koop constructs landscapes that feel both timeless and urgent, considering nature, atmosphere, technology and industry in tandem. Untitled (Blue Satellite City) is one of her renowned “Satellite City” paintings. In this series, she removes the horizon almost entirely and instead uses subtle gradations of colour to define the shift in atmosphere between air and land or sky and sea, as appears to be the case here. This wonderfully delicate quality and soft palette recall an island archipelago suspended in either luminous clouds or a fog-filled, glassy sea. And the familiar topography of roadways emanating from a central urban hub could as easily be interpreted as transportation circuits or airplane contrails. As in much of Koop’s work, the imagery remains urgent as her compositions are interpreted anew. In our current moment, one can’t help but read the isolated but connected urban spaces as some kind of portent for a future where communication is infrastructural rather than social. Everyone is connected, at a distance. What might subsequent generations see in such icily minimal depictions of space? We thank Jayne Wilkinson, a Toronto-based writer, editor and independent curator, for contributing this essay. She is currently editor-in-chief at Canadian Art. Estimate: $25,000–30,000

WANDA KOOP, R.C.A., A CANAL, acrylic on rag paper, 22 ins x 29.75 ins; 55.9 cms x 75.6 cms
Est: $3,000 - $4,000
WANDA KOOP, R.C.A. A CANAL acrylic on rag paper 22 ins x 29.75 ins; 55.9 cms x 75.6 cms Provenance:Private Collection, TorontoNote:Wanda Koop is well known for her artistic diversity, excelling in performance art, video and large-scale installations and of course, painting. Her work often addresses the challenging relationship between humanity and nature; Koop is interested in the ways that technology and modernization affect the landscape. A Canal is a depiction of a man-made waterway system that meets a sunset awash in muted tones and blends seamlessly with the land at its borders. The resulting impression is that the canal is a part of the actual landscape and not a construction that has permanently marred it. The angular lines and the architectural shapes subtly suggest both a figurative and literal blurring of the lines between the landscape and its ultimate urbanization.A native of Vancouver, Koop has shown her work in over 50 solo exhibitions over the past three decades in Canada, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, Japan, the United States, Italy, India and China. Her work is featured in the collections of the Reykjavik Art Museum (Iceland); Musée d'Art contemporain (Montréal); and the Canada Council Art Bank (Ottawa), amongst others. In 1998, Koop founded Winnipeg's Art City Project, an organization that provides inner-city youth with the opportunity to work with contemporary visual artists. She is the recipient of a myriad of awards both nationally and internationally including honorary degrees from the University of Winnipeg (Honorary Doctor of Letters, 2002) and Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Vancouver (2007). In 2002, she was awarded the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal and in 2006, Koop was appointed a member of the Order of Canada. She currently lives and works in Winnipeg.
