Heffel Auction House Biography and Notes
Plane Untitled, New York is an important work from Joyce Wieland's pivotal New York period. It was originally acquired from the Isaacs Gallery in Toronto, a leading gallery at the time for post-war art. Wieland and her husband, artist Michael Snow, moved to New York in 1962, and during this period, Wieland became increasingly attracted to themes concerning disaster, death and loss. At first Wieland attributed her fascination to earlier personal paranoia, but these themes were fostered by the political and social consciousness present in the United States. While living in New York, Wieland would have been familiar with Andy Warhol's well-known Death and Disaster series, which featured repeated images revolving around the theme of death. Like Warhol's, Wieland's work commented on the constant reiteration and sensationalism of images of tragedy in the media. Wieland would become renowned for celebrating Canadian identity through her art, and works such as this remind us of her playful yet ever-powerful contribution. Plane Untitled, New York is comparable to Wieland's exceptional 1963 work Tragedy in the Air, or Plane Crash, in the collection of the Vancouver Art Gallery.
