CRIS GIANAKOS
Send Our Boys Home, 1970
Silkscreen on wove paper
35 × 23 inches
Edition 37/225
Pencil signed, dated and numbered from the edition of 225 on the recto
Unframed
Provenance: Estate of legendary dealer Reese Palley
Based on a smaller work the artist first created in 1966 (in the permanent collection of MOMA), by 1970, Gianakos' powerful anti war print "Send our Boys Home", literally and symbolically, becomes larger . Here, the artist replaces the stars a stripes simply with a black void, completely changing a patriotic emblem into a symbol of hopelessness and despair. Pencil signed, dated and numbered from the edition of 225. A classic and uncommon anti-Vietnam war piece from 1970 - that is also relevant to the present era. This work was acquired from the Estate of Reese Palley - the flamboyant impresario (known as the "merchant to the rich") - and one of the first gallerists to open shop in SOHO, Manhattan. (He would later return to his native Atlantic City, where he opened a gallery.) The only other editions of this print, including the present one, that we have seen come to market are from the Palley Estate, which donated the rest of his collection to museum collections.

- Venedig 1997 Minimalist Conceptual Architectural SilkscreenBy Gerhard MerzLocated in Surfside, FLGenre: Other Subject: Architecture Medium: Print Surface: Paper Country: Germany Dimensions: 19 3/4" x 15 3/4" Dimensions w/Frame: 22 3/4" x 19" Gerhard Merz Venedig 1997 1998 From the portfolio Sequences printed on Magnani rag paper. print 50 x 40 cm (19¾ x 15¾"), signed and numbered. Edition of 60. Gerhard Merz, born 1947 in Mammendorf near Munich, lives and works in Berlin and Pescia, Italy. Gerhard Merz, who has occasionally been labeled a modern classicist, uses the elements of art - measurement, form and light - in a careful reconsideration of modernism. These three prints document the idea, the architectural plan, and the realized art space at the German Pavillion of the Venice Biennale 1997: brick walls, plaster and fluorescent light - clarity and blankness. »The beautiful is mute and blank.« Gerhard Merz (born 25 May 1947 in Mammendorf , Kreis Fürstenfeldbruck ) is a German artist. From 1969 to 1973, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and became a student in the masterclass of Rudi Tröger . Between 1964 and 1969, inspired by Francis Bacon and Uwe Lausen, expressive pictures emerged and subsequently metal sculptures. Since the beginning of the 1970s, he has been increasingly successful with spatial installations in which he drew references to the history of literature and art, as well as to political history, as well as the development of large-format, monochrome images with lines of pencil strokes. In the building of the Federal Foreign Office in Bonn, he designed a wall through a large polychromatic mosaic. Starting in 1977, he was represented at Documenta in Kassel four times in a row. In 1983 he was awarded the Arnold-Bode-Prize of the documenta – City of Kassel . In 1991 he received a reputation as a professor at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf . In 1998/1999 he was commissioned to design the rooms within the framework of the old building renovation of the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin in a joint project with the architect Hans Kollhoff...Category
