Schneemann, Carolee; Video Burn Scroll Paintings with [RARE 1992 ARTIST'S BOOK - FINE]
Est: $350 - $550
San Francisco Art Institute, 1992. Softcover in staple-bound pictorial wrappers. First Edition, First Printing. 15.5 x 22.5 cm. 28 pages (including front and rear covers) with 27 dynamic, photographic and computer-generated images by Carolee Schneemann that were originally stained with coffee, beet juice and urine for her sequence “Video Burn” (1987 - 1991). Published in conjunction with her “Scroll Paintings with Exploded TV” exhibition held at the Walyer/McBean Gallery of the San Francisco Art Institute (Oct, 19 - Nov. 16, 1991). BOOK CONDITION: Fine; a solid, tight, clean copy showing hints of rubbing to cvers, edges and corners. RARE Working in a variety of media such as painting, drawing, performance and video, American artist Carolee Schneemann’s work engages with conceptions of gender, the body, and how these concepts interact within social constructs. Video Burn reflects Schneeman’s interest in exposing the interconnectedness of bodily oppression and media culture. Like Allan Kaprow’s Days Off, Video Burn is organized by a loosely calendar like structure with pages corresponding to days of the week. Opposite the title page is a sort of index with days of the week corresponding to the ribbons of text laced throughout the book. The connections between these fragments and the days of the week to which they correspond are not immediately apparent, but in highlighting the arbitrary nature of a governing system such as a calendar, Schnemann means to connect institutional strictures to those superimposed on the female body in everyday life. Her conflation of media in Video Burn serves to support this idea as well. The images in the book were generated from a series of drawings Schneemann worked on from 1987 to 1991, also titled Video Burn. She overlays the drawings with pixilated TV static, text and fragmented images of the female body, emphasizing the ways in which depictions of women and female bodies in the media frame notions of gender and power.

Carolee Schneemann (American, 1939-2019), Palliation II (Armenian)
Est: $2,000 - $3,000
Carolee Schneemann (American, 1939-2019), Palliation II (Armenian) Signed and dated 2/60 top left, signed and dated again and titled verso, oil on masonite. 22 5/8 x 25 5/8 in. (57.5 x 65.1cm) Provenance Private Collection, New York. Lot Essay Carolee Schneemann (1939-2019), primarily known for her groundbreaking performance art and feminist contributions, also produced colorful and abstract paintings throughout her career. These paintings often feature bold, vibrant colors, dynamic brushwork, and an intense emotional depth that transcends the canvas, and demonstrate her versatility and mastery of various artistic mediums. In her abstract paintings, Schneemann displayed an innate ability to convey complex emotions and inner states through her use of color and form. Her works, such as Palliation II (Armenian), exhibit a visceral and spontaneous quality, with gestural brushstrokes and a rich palette that evoke a sense of unbridled energy and passion. These paintings not only serve as a compelling testament to her artistic range but also provide a unique perspective on the inner workings of an artist who consistently pushed the boundaries of art, challenging conventions, and embracing her own creative evolution.
