Joe Zucker Art

American, b. 1941
In the 1970s, Joe Zucker experimented with what has become his signature technique: gluing cotton balls to canvas in a gridded arrangement and painting over them. Resulting in a highly textured surface reminiscent of mosaic, this technique radically transforms the surface of the canvas and challenges the “flatness” that critics like Clement Greenberg championed as essential to the discipline of painting. In his compositions, Zucker constructs simplified geometric renderings of subjects like houses and sailboats, where the subject matter serves only a vehicle for the artist’s exploration of formal qualities. In his series of "Box Paintings" made in 2004-05, Zucker constructed shallow wooden boxes with various compartments into which he poured a single color of enamel, resulting in flat areas of color that allude to the ideals of modernist painting.

"It's the Altitude", James Rizzi, 3d Lithograph, 26x36 in., Pop Art, Snow Skiing
By James Rizzi
Located in Dallas, TX
James Rizzi (1950-2011) 3D Construction Lithograph from 1989. "It's the Altitude" has the edition of A/P (Artist Proof). The Construction measures 26x36 and is finished in a gold frame with a red liner and brown suede matte. This piece retails typically for $14,500. This piece is James Rizzi's perception of an American snow skiing town with lots of traffic on the streets with cars and busses and people everywhere walking with skis or skiing on the mountain tops. The town is equipped with a ski shop, tea house, chocolate store, an art gallery, a saloon, and much more! James Rizzi's prints are a living and breathing part of the city where he was born and raised. In these prints, the excitement, noise, congestion, and pace of city life translate into pictures of extraordinary vitality and exuberance. Viewed from a distance Rizzi's prints appear bright and joyful; close up they reveal a myriad of precisely defined details - children playing, cars, vendors, rooftops, boats, sails - woven into a throbbing narrative of daily life that we can all enjoy, regardless of whether we live in the city or country. Rizzi has described the style of these childlike, three-dimensional prints as "urban primitive...
