Signed Framed Roberto Matta Limited Edition Ioessa Aquatint Etching
ExcellentA surreal aquatint etching by Chilean artist, Roberto Matta (1911 -- 2002), which is entitled "Ioessa." This 1972 piece is from an edition of 100 and is signed by the artist in pencil, lower right. Published by Editions Privee in Paris.
Roberto Antonio Sebastián Matta Echaurren was born on November 11, 1911 in Santiago, Chile. Matta was educated in his native country as an architect and interior designer at the Sacré Coeur Jesuit. Matta's acquaintance with Dali and Breton strongly influenced his artistic formation and subsequently connected him to the Surrealist movement, which he officially joined in 1937. He was in London for a short period in 1936 and worked with Walter Gropius and László Moholy-Nagy. Matta's employment with the architects of the Spanish Republican pavilion at the Paris International Exhibition (1937) exposed him to Picasso's Guernica (1937; Madrid, Prado), which greatly impressed him and influenced him in his own style. At this time, he was introduced to the work of Marcel Duchamp, whom he met not long after. He later went to Scandinavia where he met the architect Alvar Aalto and then to Russia where he worked on housing design projects. Matta died in Civitavecchia, Italy, in November of 2002.
Matta's one-man exhibitions include those at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Nationalgalerie, Berlin, the Kestner-Gesellschaft, Hanover, the Hayward Gallery, London, Musee National d'Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, Museo de Bellas Artes, Santiago, Chile, and. Museo Yokohama, Japan. His work has been included in The Latin-American Collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1943; The Emergent Decade, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, 1965; Art of Latin America since Independence, Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, 1966; Art in Latin America: The Modern Era, 1820-1980, Hayward Gallery, London, 1989; and Crosscurrents of Modernism: Four Latin American Pioneers Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, DC, 1992.

ExcellentA framed print by the Spanish abstract surrealist Joan Miró from his Espriu Series. This piece is the seventh plate in the series and is subtitled Blue Half Moon. This was created by Miro in 1975 and involves a multi-process of engraving in etching and carborundum; hand signed by the artist and from a limited edition of 50.
Joan Miró Ferra was born on April 20, 1893, in Barcelona. At the age of 14, he went to business school in Barcelona and also attended La Lonja's Escuela Superior de Artes Industriales y Bellas Artes in the same city. In 1920 Miró made his first trip to Paris, where he met Pablo Picasso. From this time, Miró divided his time between Paris and Montroig, Spain. In Paris, he associated with the poets Max Jacob, Pierre Reverdy, and Tristan Tzara and participated in Dada activities. Dalmau organized Miró's first solo show in Paris at the Galerie la Licorne in 1921. His work was included in the Salon d'Automne of 1923. In 1924, Miró joined the Surrealist group. His solo show at the Galerie Pierre, Paris, in 1925 was a major Surrealist event; Miró was included in the first Surrealist exhibition at the Galerie Pierre that same year. Miró's first major museum retrospective was held at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1941. In 1978, the Musée National d'Art Moderne exhibited over five hundred works in a major retrospective of his drawings. Miró died on December 25, 1983, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. -
Signed Framed Richard Anuskiewicz Autumn Suite (Purple with Red) Intaglio Etching With Aquatint
ExcellentA framed limited edition intaglio etching with aquatint by the great optical artist, Richard Anuszkiewicz, entitled Autumn Suite (Purple with Red). This piece was created in 1979 and is signed by the artist in pencil, lower right and numbered by the artist in pencil, lower left. Printed by Deli Sacilotto, Atelier Editions, Inc. New York City.
Richard Anuszkiewicz (American, 1930 - ) who was a student of Josef Albers, shares Albers' fascination with shapes and their relationships to color. Considered a major force in the Op Art movement, Anuszkiewicz is concerned with the optical changes that occur when different high-intensity colors are applied to the same geometric configurations. Each of his prints has its own rhythm and therefore, its own energy as part of a lyrical composition. He has won many awards and has been a frequent exhibitor in museums throughout the world. His work is included in the collections of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Fogg Museum of Harvard University in Cambridge, and the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
In 1964, Life magazine called him "The New Wizard of Op." More recently, while reflecting on a New York City gallery show of Anuszkiewicz's from 2000, the New York Times art critic Holland Cotter described Anuszkiewicz's paintings by stating, "The drama -- and that feels like the right word -- is in the subtle chemistry of complementary colors, which makes the geometry glow as if light were leaking out from behind it." Anuszkiewicz has exhibited at the Venice Biennale, Florence Biennale and Documenta, and in permanent collections internationally. -

Signed Mimmo Rotella Limited Edition Blue Hawaii Elvis Presley Serigraph With Collage
ExcellentThis is a fantastic example of the art work that transformed the country of Italy by Mimmo Rotella, Italian (1918 - 2006). Rotella is known for his collages of movie and advertisement posters. In this piece Rotella utilizes the poster for Blue Hawaii starring Elvis Presley. It is a silkscreen with original collage created in 2004 and is signed by Rotella in pencil, lower right.
Mimmo Rotella was born in Catanzaro on the 7th of October 1918, the son of a milliner. Following high school he moved to Naples where he began art studies (in 1941 he went to Rome after having obtained a post at the Ministry of Postal and Telecommunication Services). Already recognized by criticism at the close of the 1950's as being an exponent of the "Young Roman Painting, Rotella was labeled as the 'poster ripper' or the 'painter of glued paper'. At night, armed with a penknife, he not only ripped off posters but also pieces of the metal sheeting and zinc of the mounting frames of the billboard zones of the Rome City Council. He was a member of the influential French Nouveaux Realistes group. In 1999 the Mayor of his natal city, Sergio Abramo, signed a City Council order authorizing Rotella to freely remove posters in Catanzaro and its environs.
Nothing illustrates more vividly the hectic post-war art scene than the scintillating career of the Italian experimental artist Mimmo Rotella. -

Signed Framed Alex Katz Limited Edition Man With Pipe Aquatint Etching
ExcellentA very interesting and beautiful aquatint etching by the pop portraitist, Alex Katz, which is entitled "Man with Pipe" and is signed by the artist in pencil, lower left and numbered in pencil, lower right. This framed aquatint etching was printed by Aldo Crommelynck, Paris on Hahnemuhle papier rives and published by The Brooklyn Museum, NY.

Katz was born in New York City, and studied art at the Cooper Union from 1945 to 1949.

A summer resident of Lincolnville, Maine since 1954, he has developed a close relationship with local Colby College. The college presented him with an honorary doctorate in 1984. In October 1996, the Colby College Museum of Art opened a wing dedicated to Katz that features more than 400 oil paintings, collages, and prints donated by the artist.
This Alex Katz aquatint etching is a great piece of pop art. -
Signed Framed Salvador Dali Limited Edition Lady Dulcinea Etching With Aquatint
ExcellentAn aquatint etching by the famous surrealist Salvador Dali entitled "The Lady Dulcinea" from his series Historia de Don Quichotte de la Mancha. This work is signed by the artist in pencil, lower right and numbered in pencil, lower left. This is a wonderfully framed piece that showcases Dali's use of surrealism and interest in Don Quixote's work.
Salvador Dali was born in May 11, 1904 in the small agricultural town of Figueres, Spain. Dal� became a leader of the surrealist movement. His painting, The Persistence of Memory, with the soft or melting watches is still one of the best-known surrealist works. But as the war approached, the apolitical Dal� clashed with the surrealists and was "expelled" from the surrealist group during a "trial" in 1934. He did however, exhibit works in international surrealist exhibitions throughout the decade but by 1940, Dal� was moving into a new style that eventually became known as his "classic" period, demonstrating a preoccupation with science and religion. As an artist, Salvador Dal� was not limited to a particular style or media. The body of his work, from early impressionist paintings through his transitional surrealist works, and into his classical period, reveals a constantly growing and evolving artist. Dal� worked in all media, leaving behind a wealth of oils, watercolors, drawings, graphics, and sculptures, jewels and objects of all descriptions.
This is an exquisite example of the work of Salvador Dali is a great example of the impact and beauty that Dali has brought to the world of art.

Signed Framed Peter Max Original Flower Blossom Lady Mixed Media Painting
ExcellentAn original mixed media with acrylic and collage on paper by Peter Max, German/American (1937 - ) entitled "Flower Blossom Lady." This painting from the year 2000 represents Peter Max's accomplishments in psychedelic and contemporary art.
From visionary pop artist of the 1960's, to master of dynamic neo Expressionism, Peter Max and his vibrant colors have become part of the fabric of contemporary American culture. In the 1960's Max rose to youthful prominence with his now-famous "Cosmic '60s" style, a bold linear type of painting which employed Fauvist use of color and depicted transcendental themes. Peter Max revolutionized art of the 60' just as the Beatles transformed the music of the decade. As his expressionistic style evolved, becoming more sensuous and painterly, Max' unique symbolism and vibrant color palette have continued to inspire new generations of Americans throughout the decades. Peter Max is a passionate environmentalist and defender of human and animal rights, often dedicating paintings and posters for these noteworthy causes. He has celebrated our nation's principles of freedom and democracy with his famous paintings of American icons of freedom including Lady Liberty and the American Flag. In 1981 he painted six liberty portraits for the America President and Mrs. Reagan, and in 1993, his famous '100 Clintons' installation. Max has painted for five American presidents; Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton.
Max has had approximately forty museum shows internationally, and more than fifty gallery shows worldwide. His works appear in the prominent collections of many museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. -
Signed Ltd Ed Helen Frankenthaler Untitled 1997 Aquatint Etching Stencil & Mezzotint
PristineSigned Limited Edition 1997 Aquatint Etching Stencil and Mezzotint entitled "Untitled: A Page from Book III," of This Is Not a Book, is signed by the artist in pencil, lower right and numbered 42 of 60 in pencil, lower left. This piece is museum framed in a shadow box.
Considered one of the greatest female artists of the twentieth century, Helen Frankenthaler is credited with creating the Colorist Field movement of painting. Having been born and raised in New York City in 1928 at the brink of artistic changes with new techniques and styles emerging, Frankenthaler was able to translate her formal training under Rufino Tamayo at the Dalton School and freely embark on developing her own personal style. Heavily influenced by Jackson Pollock and the Abstract Expressionism movement, Frankenthaler began to experiment with painting in the loose and free manor that was made famous by the movement.
Immersing fully into the methods and techniques of the Abstract Expressionist movement, Frankenthaler began to experiment with infusing bold and vibrant colors into her pieces to bring each loose and fluid stroke to life. This aquatint etching stencil and mezzotint entitled "Untitled: A Page from Book III" from This Is Not a Book best represents Frankenthaler's style. Using a barrage of vibrant blue, pink, yellow and green hues to liven the strokes of this abstract piece enhanced the masterful attention to detail shown in Frankenthaler's influence on the Color Field movement.
