Signed Donald Sultan Ltd Ed Three Red Poppies April 25, 2007 Silkscreen With Flocking

Excellent

A silkscreen with flocking by the great printmaker and pop artist Donald Sultan. This piece is entitled "Three Red Poppies" and is dated April 25th, 2007. This piece is signed by Sultan in pencil, lower right.

Born in 1951 in Asheville, North Carolina, Donald Sultan rose to prominence in the 1980's as a painter and draftsman of subjects such as lemons and flowers. He is best known for his rich use of black that is actually tar in many of his paintings and his work is voluminous and varied, which manifests itself in the media of paint, printing, and sculpting. His still-life pieces have been described as studies in contrast. Powerfully sensual, fleshy objects are rendered through a labor-intensive and unique method. Instead of canvas, Sultan works on masonite covered with 12 inch vinyl floor tiles. The tiles dictate the format: one foot squares, eight foot squares, or four foot squares. Sultan cuts the shapes he desires into the vinyl, fills in the cutout space with plaster and/or tar, and then paints over it. These multiple layers create the texture and subsequent richness.

Sultan has enjoyed a distinguished career as painter, printmaker, and sculptor, including works of garden pieces. His work is always concerned, on some level at least, with recognizable imagery. "Basically I think I am a Minimalist. But I keep trying to add as much stuff as I can and still keep the sense."

Signed Framed Keith Haring Two New Year's Invitation 88' Silkscreens On Paper

Excellent

Two framed New Years Eve invitations on silkscreens by pop art icon, Keith Haring (1958 - 1990). These New Years invitations were given out in 1988 by Haring to celebrate the New Year. Each invitation is signed along the right margin.

Keith Haring was born on May 4, 1958 in Reading, Pennsylvania, and was raised in nearby Kutztown, Pennsylvania. He developed a love for drawing at a very early age, learning basic cartooning skills from his father and from the popular culture around him, such as Dr. Seuss and Walt Disney. Between 1980 and 1986, Haring achieved international recognition and participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions. His first solo exhibition in New York, held at the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in 1982, was immensely popular and received critical acclaim. During this period, he participated in highly renowned international survey exhibitions such as Documenta 7 in Kassel Germany, the SÃ£o Paulo Biennial and the Whitney Biennial. Haring completed numerous public projects in the first half of the 80's as well, ranging from an animation for the Spectracolor billboard in Times Square, designing sets and backdrops for theaters and clubs, developing watch designs for Swatch and creating murals worldwide. In April 1986, Haring opened the Pop Shop, a retail store in SOHO selling T-shirts, toys, posters, buttons and magnets bearing his images. Haring considered the shop to be an extension of his work and painted the entire interior of the store in an abstract black on white mural, creating a striking and unique retail environment.

Haring was diagnosed with AIDS in 1988. In 1989, he established the Keith Haring Foundation, its mandate being to provide funding and imagery to AIDS organizations and children's programs and to expand the audience for Haring's work through exhibitions, publications and the licensing of his images. Haring enlisted his imagery during the last years of his life to speak about his own illness and generate activism and awareness about AIDS.

Signed Limited Edition Keith Haring 1986 Bad Boy Silkscreen On Paper

Pristine

Signed Limited Edition 1986 Keith Haring's silkscreen on paper entitled "Bad Boys" is signed and numbered 17 of 30 by the artist in pencil, lower left. Although the signature of the artist is in the lower left hand corner when placed vertically, Haring intended for the picture to be displayed both vertically and horizontally. From a series of six prints entitled "Bad Boys."

Keith Haring (1958-1990) was born in Reading, Pennsylvania. He gained international prominence with his friendships with Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol. In 1989 he contracted AIDS and established the Keith Haring Foundation funding AIDS and children's programs. Haring died in 1990 of AIDS related complications. He was 31.

Although he was formally trained as a technical artist at the School of Visual Arts in New York, Keith Haring was focused more on creating art that could be seen by masses of people on a wider scale. With an interest in creating art that sent a poignant message, Haring dedicated much of his career to producing art that would challenge the viewer to think about the social statements being made. Much of Haring's work can be seen on the streets and subways of New York in elaborate forms of graffiti and murals.

Haring's 1986 "Bad Boys" showcases his flair for the dramatic through the use of energetic and chaotic lines and images. With a monochromatic palette of black and white, Haring creates a frantic and intense atmosphere full of uncertainty and angst. Full of flailing arms and buried heads, "Bad Boys" presents a view at the differences among people and the often violent approach to dealing with them. Haring's "Bad Boys" is a poignant look at society and the emotional state of the individual and the interaction among different personalities, opinions and beliefs.
