Art as a Window to the Mind: The Collection of Gerald L. Lennard

- In this episode of Expert Voices, Sotheby’s Chairman Oliver Barker and Art Advisor Laura Paulson explore the Gerald L. Lennard Foundation Collection, to be offered across Sotheby’s Impressionist, Modern & Contemporary Auctions in New York. Passionately assembled by Gerard L. Lennard primarily in the 1970s and '80s, the collection embodies a cerebral preoccupation with the human psyche underpinned by Mr. Lennard’s intense curiosity about the motivations that drove artists to create. Included in the collection are rare examples from icons of 20th century painting, including Willem de Kooning's Untitled X, Francis Bacon's final portrait of his lover George Dyer, and the most comprehensive group of late works by Philip Guston ever to appear at auction. Proceeds from the collection will benefit the Foundation's ongoing mission.

can you imagine having an original Francis Bacon hanging in your living room.
Or a Van Kooning
The subject matter of his work isn't the type of material I prefer to have in my home. Perhaps in an art book on the mantel for those brave to have a look. Hanging on the wall a distorted face of a man is not simply someone seated in a chair to a child on looking. But I suppose the line of questioning from a child's incessant "whys" could lead to some interesting teaching moments as it relates to a Bacon on the wall. Bacon's darkness had no filter from mind to canvas - from canvas to living room is where I express my caution.
i can paint you one.
Tom Jones please do, Im serious.
Belo Beatz I agree but i think some of his less violent stuff ie. triptych of Lucian Freud or the Bull fighter paintings would be dope as hell. But personally I think any francis bacon painting would be amazing if you can make the room match.
That Auerbach is incredible.
The very rich buy sensitivity through great art.
Very informative video. Thank you.
All the Art fits the Mood of the Rooms.....Great Eye
Oh my god that Bacon! Wow great little piece thankyou 😊
Wow Sotheby's this episode of Expert voices is exciting Sotheby's , Chairman Oliver Barker went all out this one! it was super interesting! I think the red sky painting is amazing what a battle of a piece, I love political Art too, And the Francis Bacon Art piece is just phenomenal! and Exquisitely done he is my all time favorite Artist. well done chairman Oliver Barker!!
Looks like a box of dildos
Really sucking up to the man with the money!!! Could you be any more sycophantic?

Very beautiful collection
This is of course touching on the interesting question What is life about? What is experience? What is important? What is beauty? What is joy? What is love? What are you attracted to ? What is abstraction? What is Real? What is dialoque? What is really beautifull dialoque?
Beautiful Collection!

멋찝니다~~
"incredibly" a little over-used no?
I like most of these, some are very strong, but I just can't get to like anything about Frank Auerbach's art though, sorry Frank.
Willem de Kooning hanging in y’r room woah
All very well,but does he have any paintings of dogs playing pool?
👍

It was upon first seeing a Francis Bacon that I became a vegetarian.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ New sub from me!
I do not think there was any discussion of window to the mind...
Oliver sounds like Graham Hancock.
My paintings are far more riveting i do say!
Go big or go
Ho
Me
☮🥓❤
Unbelievable what passes for art these days.. There ought to be some kind of standard for art. I think these people who describe what the painting means to them are really high as a kite.
nazi Germany had exactly the kind of standard you would like. So I guess you are a little late to the party. But not of course the Nazi Party. th-cam.com/video/_0Rm9uZSyvQ/w-d-xo.html
@@desertportal353 What many of us would like to see is arts value determined by true art appreciators, and not by the up lifters of value for their own gain.
@@TheRm65 Simply the people who appreciate art well enough to buy it.

That's not fair. By your reasoning, anyone who criticizes a current art craze is a Nazi.
JayCeeMe wasn't advocating censorship or destroying this art as the Nazis did.
Did you notice the Koi and Butterfly kites inthe De Kooning photo?
Those look like George W Bush painting !
Not at all. Sounds like you haven’t seen his work.

George bush is a master painter
Детский лепет!!!
Dirty Money can talk itself into anything ...lol.

Disgusting work, Excellent idea! I hope to better enhance that idea with help from a friend. A money cost,...yes, however the project of Critique would forever revolutionize and give greater restoration and interpretations of Art History, Artwork and Religious Visual Cultural.
whoever provides the estimates for these artworks.... is clueless and shouldn't be working in the art appraisal business...
Some of those art seem to need à lot of bullshit talking in order to have any value. Skip the pretentious talking and you wont évén bothers to look at them.
This nonsense is insulting to anyone with real talent
your comment is instulting to real artists (those in the video)
oh wait it isnt becouse real artist isnt hurt by what some amateur who is clueless about art thinks
His art sucks. Glad he’s not competing with the rest of us.
Looks like a very disturbing unsettling mind created this collection of ? art ....
They are working the hype to make his pieces more valuable. NOT! Like one said here, it insults a true artist.
Apparently all this abstract nonsense is used to launder money , hence the usual rediculous prices.
Wow, @Sotheby's are sooooo full of shit.
Some are spectacular but many are totally garbage 🗑️ in my eyes
