One more post sharing some paintings from #LibbieM One more post sharing some paintings from #LibbieMark’s art collection!1. Kostas Loustas (1933-2014), “Broadway,” 1964, private collection. According to his estate website, Loustas was born in Athens and studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts (1953-1958). He first received international acclaim in New York City during the early 1960s, where he lived and worked for several years. This painting has a great graphic quality with its dark heavy outlines.2. Lois Chapman Knerr (d. 2010), Untitled, 1957, private collection. Knerr moved to New York City in 1957. More research needs to be done on her background but it appears she was a teacher as well as an artist. 1957 was the year Libbie studied both at the Art Students League @aslnyc in New York, and at Hans Hofmann’s school in Provincetown. The artist clearly had a strong sense of color and gesture in this energetic painting.3. Stanley Freborg (1906-1991), “Waldron,” 1958-60, private collection. This painter and sculptor moved from Chicago to the important artist’s enclave of Provincetown in 1953, but also exhibited in NYC in the 1960s. This painting which feels like an abstracted landscape or aerial view, has the word “P-Town” written on verso along with a number of dates between 1958 and 1960. Hans Hofmann School records show Freborg applied to study with Hofmann in 1957, the same year Libbie did. She spent the rest of her summers in Provincetown, painting until 1971.Swipe for the February 6, 1957 letter to Hofmann from Stan’s wife! (Hans Hofmann papers, Archives of American Art @ArchivesAmerArt, Smithsonian Institution @AmericanArt.)In addition to Libbie’s acquisition of a significant #GraceHartigan painting to assist a friend having financial difficulties (see previous post), she also purchased artwork from lesser known artist friends with whom she took classes or with whom she interacted in other ways during her time in the important artistic circles of New York City and the outer cape of Massachusetts.Click link in bio to read more about Libbie and the Libbie Mark Provincetown Fund.

Last week we posted selections from #LibbieMark’s Last week we posted selections from #LibbieMark’s collection. Here is another!As we posted previously, Mark studied at the Great Neck Adult Education arts program in the late 1940s to the mid 1950s. In the 1950s the GNAE was known for its prominent artist faculty, recruited from New York City by artist and GNAE coordinator Betty Holliday Deckoff. At this time Mark likely met faculty member #GraceHartigan.Supposedly, Mark and her husband bought Hartigan’s “Venetian Self-Portrait” in order to support her friend during a stressful financial period in Hartigan’s life. The work was exhibited in Hartigan’s third solo show at Tibor de Nagy.After Hartigan delivered it to the gallery in October 1952, she followed the gallery’s attempted sales of her painting leading up to the exhibition’s opening. In December, MoMA director Alfred H. Barr Jr. considered acquiring it and two of her other paintings for the collection but the purchase of the self-portrait fell through.Using the first name “George,” Hartigan’s exhibition opened in March 1953. Coincidentally, Deckoff was the exhibition’s reviewer for @ARTnews and praised Hartigan’s work.Another potential buyer for the self-portrait surfaced in mid-May 1953. According to her journal entries, Hartigan stated “I’m down to thirty dollars, and if she doesn’t take it I’ll have to look for a job to-morrow.” Then a couple days later, she wrote: “In a terrible state of melancholy to-day. Gertrude Fisher returned the picture and I must get a job.” [We think this might be painter Gertrude Fisher-Fishman].Finally, a further record shows that Mr. & Mrs. Marks [sic] bought “Venetian Self-Portrait.” Please swipe for images, including original labels and exhibition checklist!Grace Hartigan, Venetian Self-Portrait, 1952.

Private Collection. ©Grace Hartigan Estate.Info: La Moy and McCaffrey, eds., “The Journals of Grace Hartigan, 1951-1955,” @SyracuseUPress, and Ledesma, Diggory, DuPlessis, Lazare, “Grace Hartigan: The Gift of Attention,” @NCArtMuseumClick link in bio to read more about Libbie.

One interesting aspect of researching #LibbieMark One interesting aspect of researching #LibbieMark has been to learn about the artists that she interacted with and collected, throughout her educational experience and beyond.1. First, we have a mystery from Mark’s collection: this great painting is signed “Fischl” on the back, but we have no artist’s first name, no date (we assume 1950s-1960s), and no title. If anyone recognizes this artist’s style, please let us know! (See signature next image)2. While living in Great Neck, NY and raising a family with her husband Edward, Mark studied at the Great Neck Adult Education arts program in the late 1940s to the mid 1950s. The GNAE was known for its significant artist faculty such as Helen Frankenthaler, Grace Hartigan, Louise Nevelson, and Larry Rivers (1923-2002). According to her family, Libbie studied with Rivers, whose painting in Mark’s collection is a 1953 study for a “Berdie” portrait.3. We have posted previously about Mark’s friend and classmate at the Art Students League and at the #HansHofmann School, female abstract Korean-American painter Na Hei-Gyoon (1929-2004). Mark owned 5 paintings by Na, one of which is shown here, likely from the late 1950s-early 60s.4. In the 1960s, Mark exhibited with a fascinating but understudied artists group, the Vectors, which had a majority of women members through its 10-year history. One of the artist members, Mary Shaier (1905–1971), was the group’s secretary, according to surviving correspondence in the archives of the 92 Street Y. She also studied with Hofmann. Shown here is a Shaier ink on paper in Mark’s collection.Please swipe for all 4 paintings, and click link in bio for more info.

With its vertical format and incredibly textural s With its vertical format and incredibly textural surface, this colorful and dynamic composition is a prime example of #LibbieMark ‘s #AbstractExpressionist collage painting work. Difficult to show in just one photo, her paintings are multi-layered with paint and collaged tissue paper to create depth and impasto. This painting was recently exhibited in “Libbie Mark: Abstract Expressionist” June 4 - July 10, 2026 at Berry Campbell.Please swipe for details of this gorgeous painting!Image: Untitled Collage Painting, ca. 1965. acrylic and paper collage on masonite, 24 x 15 5/8 in.
