For socialites and successful, busy women, the advice andassistance of the late Janet Brown on matters of fashion and stylewas invaluable. From her small, white-walled boutique in theunlikely town of Port Washington on Long Island, New York, shestyled women from all ports of call including London, Paris,South America, New York, Greenwich and Long Island, to name afew, with a unique talent and vision that combined classic design,elegance, premier quality, and avant-garde taste. Ms. Brownunderstood the provenance of her customers as well as theirworld and inspired them to make something of themselves andalways to be “ahead of the game.”

As a New York tastemaker, her clients relied on her for anintroduction to the most current and influential European couturedesigners like Jil Sander, Miuccia Prada, and Loro Piana beforethey were ever accessible in the United States, let aloneManhattan’s most prestigious, high-profile stores. Ms. Brownbelieved in her sense of style and abided by her basic rule of onlybuying premium quality merchandise that exuded understatedelegance. Following her death at 59 in March 2007, hereponymous shop closed that December after almost a quarter-century of profoundly influencing the taste and fashionsensibilities of her devotees.

Above all, she was selling the taste of Janet Brown, and that taste had its origins in her native Philadelphia. Whilestill a student at Temple University, she had the good fortune to work with Nan Duskin at her elegant store on the1700 block of Walnut Street. Her employment there served her well when she moved to New York and openedher shop in 1983, just in time to make her unique retail operation a triumph, as independent designer boutiqueswere disappearing because popular, couture designers were establishing their own shops, and department storeswere in a flurry of expansion.

Brown’s ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary made her hugely successful. She quickly rose tobecome one of the most respected elite of the women’s fashion industry. In her private life, these attributes arereflected in her fine art collection which includes many drawings and prints that celebrate the human figure bothin the abstract and literal forms.

Freeman’s will be offering many more items from Janet Brown’s tasteful collection over the course of our spring,summer and fall 2012 auction seasons. Coming this spring, the May 22nd Fine English and Continental Furnitureand Decorative Arts auction and the July 13th Estate Sale will both include decorative art, furniture and silver fromthe Janet Brown Collection, followed by the September Fine Asian Arts sale and finally, the October FinePhotography sale.

Thecomplete set of four etchings with aquatint, drypoint and scraping on Somerset.each image: 15 x 9 in. (38.1 x 22.8cm)each sheet: 25 7/8 x 18 3/4 in. (65.8 x 47.8cm)(4).provenance:Sandra Gering Gallery, New York, New York.Property from the Estate of Janet Brown, Oyster Bay, New York.note:Suzhou I-IV are named after an area in China celebrated for its breathtaking rock gardens. The refinedaesthetics and meticulously crafted vistas that have been an elevated Chinese art form for centuriesoften are centered around “scholar’s rocks” that are sometimes painstakingly transported to thesegardens at great effort and expense. During his 1995 visit to Suzhou, Marden says he “got it” all at oncewhen the famous Cloud-Capped Peak, a magnificent 6.5 meter limestone rock came into view – it wasinstantly apparent to him how a rock could be the object of veneration. The artist purchased his ownscholar’s rock in 1995, and is said to keep several fine examples in his studio.

In the present work, Marden’s sweeping, continuous lines evoke the carved crevices and smoothedsurfaces of stones shaped by the elements over centuries, and also reference the Chinese calligraphicscript that so influenced his work in the late 1980s to early 1990s. At the same time, nuancedsuggestions of human form appear in lines that vary from delicate and thin to thick and assertive. In hiscatalogue essay for the 1990 exhibition, Brice Marden: Work of the 1990s: Paintings, Drawings, and Prints,Charles Wylie wrote of paintings of this period, “While visual certainty is (intentionally on the artist’spart) impossible here, the effort of fixing such certainty is an intensely rich and gratifying occurrence,one that happens over and over again in Brice Marden’s work of the1990s, and one that nearly defines what it is to have a truly profoundaesthetic experience … the viewer must be receptive to thesomewhat novel (in our day) experience of standing still to let apainting, drawing, or print become an intensified field for privatedeliberation, and introspection, and feeling”.
