Head of an Oba, 1900-1950 Copper alloy 13 1/4 h. x 12" dia.
Copper alloy head of an Oba, or King of Benin, wearing a cross-hatched cap and layered strings of coral beads along the neck with a wide-eyed expression, round cheeks, horizontal nose, and rendered lips. Research reveals that members of the Benin Guild of bronzecasters who formerly worked only for Benin Kings began to produce bronze heads for other audiences after the 1897 invasion. Since these were descendants of the same guild that produced the Benin bronzes in the 1897 loot, their products cannot be easily classfied as "inauthentic."

Famed photographer Jesse Alexander was born in Santa Barbara, California in 1929 where he continues to reside. After graduating from UC Santa Barbara in 1953 with a degree in Political Science, he has earned worldwide recognition for his motorsport and nature photographs. Alexander’s photographs are known for capturing movement with utmost precision. He uses silver gelatin for photographing movement and presenting a nostalgic tone through the image. His image of Phil Hill racing in the Grand Prix in Germany is able to capture the car and driver still with a blurred crowd cheering in the background. His photographs of nature are similar in that he creates a world of still birds mid-flight in sunny Southern Californian skies. Whether the images were of Grands Prix or the waves along Santa Barbara’s coast, he photographs the movement of any subject with a blurry background and freeze action as it develops.

Print of circular heads with various expressions in green, black and cream positioned within a light blue square. Signature and date on reverse at lower right corner.Laylah Ali’s colorful, cartoon-like print shows several heads sporting skull caps with expressions that range from anger and bewilderment to suspicion and fear. Although the exact subject of her works remain mysterious, Ali often references power relations as an underlying motif. She sees such ideas at work in the school game of dodgeball: “I’ve always been fascinated by dodgeball. I just read in the paper the other day that there was somebody trying to get rid of dodgeball. Finally! I mean, I don’t know how long it’s going to take to wake up to the fact that this is a cruel game where the weakest get targeted. There’s something from my childhood—that dodgeball. Being the only black child in a white elementary school, dodgeball was not enjoyable.”

In David Amico's overscale painting Untitled, found objects are transformed within a new context. Tattered bed springs and aged wood pieces are affixed to a brightly hued canvas. The bedsprings' expansive and rhythmic grid-like pattern dominates and orders the surface, yet the work's "poetic logic" counts on the melding together of all of its distinct and textured layers. Amico would often search for random cast-offs discarded in the Skid Row streets that surrounded his studio and then incorporate them in his paintings. Amico’s work brings new function and synthesis to disparate elements with a previous sense of life and ordered place or function.
