Lot 13 Barbara Hatfield New York, New York A Poem in Four Verses, 2005 Ink on paper 12.5 x 9.5 inches each $2,500 - 3,000 I've presented solo exhibitions in New York, Minnesota and North Dakota. My work is in numerous private collections in the United States, Japan, Switzerland, France and Germany and in the permanent collection of the North Dakota Museum of Art. The subject matter of my work is time and space, an exploration of emptiness as a lively, active force. My vision and sensibility is shaped, in part, by the openness of my native landscape where I could see the ever-present dome of sky as it changed through hours and seasons. Important influences include my study of the poetic and philosophical lessons of Asian art. My work, conceptually rich and often visually spare, reflects nature's directness and its paradoxical strengths and fragilities. The pleasure of working with my hands and my appreciation for the integrity of my materials is endlessly engaging. —Barbara Hatfield
