LeRoy Neiman (American, 1921-2012)The Eye, Playboy, 1966. Oil on board. 32 x 24 inches (81.3 x 61.0 cm). Signed and dated lower left. PROVENANCE: The Norton Herrick & Curtis Hendrix Fine Art Group, Inc.; Dyansen Gallery, California; Private collection, California.

EXHIBITED: London Playboy Club, London, 1966-85; Chicago Playboy Club, Chicago, Illinois 1985-86.

When LeRoy Neiman and Hugh Hefner met in the early 1950's, it cultivated a relationship of over 50 years. Hefner was fascinated with Neiman's fashion illustrations for the Carson Pirie Scott department store chain and soon after hired Neiman to work for Playboy. Neiman's new technique experimenting with enamel paint was a stylistic hybrid of Abstract Expressionism and Impressionism.

Typically, these Playboy covers consisted of full-length women seductively posing for the voyeur. Of the 11 magazine covers painted, The Eye is the most unique as it allows the viewer to imagine who is the brunette woman that we only get a glimpse of. Hefner could have picked any other cover to represent the iconic magazine, but he selected The Eye cover to be part of the collection, leaving us to use our creative minds to construct the rest of the figure. His signature use of bold lines, vivid colors, and abstract brushwork along with the iconic "PLAYBOY" lettering makes this original painting recognizable and dynamic. Neiman's long and successful association with Playboy was the prelude for some of his most distinguished work. We are very excited to feature this work in our upcoming auction!

The idea that "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" certainly can be applied to people. Think Rodgers and Hammerstein. Abbott and Costello. Mantle and Maris. Neiman and Hefner.

It is somewhere between unfair and absurd to suggest that LeRoy Neiman's rise to an artist beloved around the world is solely a result of his friendship with Hugh Hefner. But it would be equally inaccurate that they did not both benefit from their decades of friendship.

After he became friends with the longtime publisher of Playboy magazine, he landed something of a dream job when Hefner helped the magazine commission an illustration in 1954 for the fifth issue. As Neiman's friendship with Hefner grew, so too did is role with the iconic men's magazine. Before long, he was sent to major sporting events, concerts, or gala events at casinos, telling his stories through eye-grabbing paintings and drawings conjured in a brilliantly colorful expressionist style that became instantly identifiable with the artist who created it.

"LeRoy Neiman's Man at Leisure editorial in Playboy magazine illustrated the excess and irreverence of the 1960s," Heritage Auctions Vice President Todd Hignite said. "In this time of social revolution, Neiman captured glamorous snapshots of life with his brush. Nowhere is this more evident in his renditions of Playboy magazine covers as seen in The Eye. Unlike most of the Playboy covers, this deceptively modest and alluring cover captures the bold and flirtatious new world of the 1960s."

This lot is accompanied by a copy of the Playboy Magazine that is signed by the Artist on the cover and on page 114. This lot is also accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Dyansen Gallery, California, dated October 30, 1989. https://tinyurl.com/3bafnmb6

Das ikonische Design des Carson Pirie Scott-Gebäudes von Louis Sullivan

Das Carson Pirie Scott-Gebäude in Chicago ist ein bedeutendes Werk des Architekten Louis Sullivan. Es gilt als Meisterwerk des "Chicago School"-Stils.

Once the headquarters of the massive Chicago department store of ‘Carson, Pirie, Scott & Company’ is now known by locals as the entrance to “Goth Target!” 🎯 • • • #chicago #chicagoland #illinois #usa #theloop #targetstyle #departmentstore #goth #juxtaposition #lookup #architecture #louissullivan (at Target Chicago State St.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnA_AjKtBuw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In 1986, U.S. apparel manufacturers cut their annual production of women’s suits by 40 percent; the following year, production dropped by another 40 percent. Several large suit manufacturers shut down their women’s lines altogether. The sudden cutback wasn’t inspired by a lack of demand: in 1986, women’s purchases of suits and blazers jumped 5.3 percent. And this reduction wasn’t gender-blind. In the same two years, output of men’s suits stayed the same. Soon, department stores phased out the executive-dressing wings that they had opened for professional women in the late 1970s. Marshall’s shut down its Careers department; Carson Pirie Scott closed its Corporate Level division for women; Neiman Marcus removed all coordinated women’s business suits from many of its stores. Paul Harris Stores switched from women’s career clothes to miniskirts (and promptly lost $5.6 million). And Alcott & Andrews, the store that billed itself as a female Brooks Brothers when it opened in 1984, began stocking ruffled dresses. When Molloy toured its New York store in 1987, he couldn’t find a single suit. (Two years later, Alcott & Andrews went bankrupt.)

Louis Sullivan designed pedestrian bridge connecting elevated train to the Schlesinger And Mayer department store at 18 S. Wabash. This was later Carson Pirie Scott. The bridge, built without permits in 1898, survived until the 1970's.

[ad_1] The parking lot outside the shuttered Carson Pirie Scott store at Spring Hill Mall will soon transform into an outdoor entertainment area. Carpentersville trustees on Tuesday approved a liquor license for Container Collective Social, which is expected to open by month's end. As the name implies, shipping containers will be converted into small shops and a bar. Food trucks will also help set up the permitter of the venue. There will be a sound system, stage and large screen for concerts and other events. The idea, developer Corey Kelly said, came out of COVID and seeing the popularity of outdoor patios and gathering spaces. "People love to be outside, especially when you give people something they can bring their whole family to," said Kelly, adding he plans to host a variety of outdoor events, including concerts, movies and even early morning yoga and fitness classes in the 60,000 square foot parking area. The new venture comes as West Dundee is in talks with mall owner, Kohan Retail Investment Group, to purchase the Carson's building and the main part of the mall. Earlier this year, West Dundee trustees approved the purchase of the shuttered Macy's and Sears stores. Though most of the mall is in West Dundee, the Carson Pirie Scott store, Kohl's and a portion of the main mall is in Carpentersville.                                                                                                                                                                                                                           "We're happy to have this project," Carpentersville Village President John Skillman said. According to village documents, Container Collective Social has leased the parking lot area from Spring Hill Mall through the end of October. The liquor license, which would allow alcohol to be sold on-premise until 11 p.m., would expire when the lease ends. While Kelly hopes to reopen in 2024, he is unsure where he may locate his business if the mall property sells. "If the opportunity is there to do it next year, we're all over it," Kelly said.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         [ad_2] Source link
