Walter Hopps...Walter opened Ferus Gallery and partnered with Irving Blum and they gave Warhol his first show in 1962 which had his Campbell soup can set of 32 which Walter convinced Irving to purchase for 1000$ and later in 1996 sell to MOMA for 15 million. In 1963 the young Walter organized Marcel Duchamp’s first retrospective at Pasadena Art Museum where Duchamp played chess with a nude opponent. Walter curated the New Painting of Common Objects show which featured Lichtenstein Dine Warhol and Ruscha before the term Pop Art was used so today’s drawing is an attempt to give this amazing gallerist some love #arthistoryisfun #walterhopps #edkienholz #irvingblum #ferusgallery #urbansurrealism #galleryhistory #pdxartist #portlandartist #gregoryhergert (at Southeast Portland, Portland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMOOg_NHvO5/?igshid=9skzsv645fas

#FridayFeature There are some big resin paintings that I did based on Navajo blankets. They were first grid paintings and then diagonal paintings. The artist Tony Berlant had introduced Navajo blankets to me, and to our circle of friends associated with Ferus Gallery. I stretched canvas and put strips of wood at the edges, and used a carpenter plumb-bob to make lines. You pull the string out and snap it and it instantly makes a line, which I found magical. Then I put masking tape in different places to make "lazy lines," which are also part of the blankets - the places where the thread goes off the warp or weft. I lived in New Mexico for a while to look at all of these sources...I also did drawings on vellum, some of which were based on Navajo chief blankets. I was interested in making delineations of patterns. I wasn't interested in the space, but they became very pictorial; people always commented on that. The pictorial space was a byproduct of the activity, and I do like that idea that you do it for one reason and something else results. Often, when I am working on a series of paintings, I am going in one direction, and out on the edge something flutters. I say, "Yeah I see you. I'm going to finish this now, but I'll come back to you." That thing flashes in the corner again, and after about three or four times, I give in. That is when one series ends and a new one begins. -- Ed Moses interviewed by Jennifer Samet, Beer with a Painter, LA Edition: Ed Moses, Hyperallergic, July 25, 2015 -- Artwork info: Ed Moses, White Grid, 2015, acrylic on canvas, 52 x 42 inches -- #edmoses #moses #Friday #whitegrid #grid #painting #painter #contemporary #artist #ferusgallery #ferus #navajo #inspiration #canvas #acrylic #tonyberlant #newmexico (at Leslie Sacks Gallery)

Craig Kauffman next to a sculpture he did of translucent plastic sheet. He was one of the pioneers of Experimental Art in the West Coast , featured in the Ferus Gallery’s  first show.  And  he was one of my teachers, I’m proud to say.

Staff Picks | Ed Ruscha, Your Space on Building, 2006 — Ed Ruscha's text images are iconic and unmistakable. His typescript arrangements employ text characters as compositional elements as naturally as a vase of flowers in a still life or a window in an interior. But, Ruscha didn't start out making work that resembled his legendary lettered subjects. He began in the mid-late 1950s painting rather unremarkable objects, which presumably existed in his immediate environment--a pack of cigarettes, a pencil, a paintbrush--often rendered floating on a flat ground in a kind of Surrealist manner. Although we begin seeing the word compositions fairly consistently in the early 1960s, his first exhibition at the famed Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles in 1965 was his curiously stunning series of bird paintings. Ruscha has made non-text imagery throughout his career and across all mediums. They serve as equally enigmatic to his quizzical word configurations--a ship, a coyote, a wagon train. For me, his 2006 series of blank signposts and billboards is a comical and ironic output for an artist synonymous with word imagery. As evidenced in Your Space on Building from 2006, no subject calls out more to be emblazoned with text than a towering vacant billboard, and yet he leaves it a complete void! The genius of Ruscha, regardless of the presence or absence of text, is that one is invariably left to their own devices to find meaning. — Temma Nanas, Managing Director — Artwork info: Ed Ruscha, Your Space on Building, 2006, color aquatint with sugar-lift flat bite and hard ground etching, 29 3/4 x 25 inches, signed and numbered — #edruscha #ruscha #yourspace #building #billboard #text #arthistory #context #ironic #iconic #ferusgallery #losangeles #la #ruschala #legendary #legend #1965 #2006 #type #character #surrealist #surreal #career #artist #lesliesacksgallery #lsg #stafffavorites #Staffpicks (at Leslie Sacks Gallery)
