John Costigan
Signed Original Pastoral Etching by John E. Costigan

Circa 1930

About the Item

This original, limited edition etching, was realized by the esteemed American artist John E. Costigan, who is represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, the Philips Memorial Gallery in Washington and the Brooklyn Museum, to name only a few of the many institutions that feature his work. This print, with its highly considered composition and its loose style of figuration- deftly balances realism and abstraction- helps to explain his acclaim. The etching depicts a family in the field milking their cows. The father bends down to milk an utter, while the mother holds an infant in her arms. In the midground, the viewer sees the back of a young boy seated on a stump. This is a classic country scene rendered by one of the nation's great pastoral artists. High style deco is proud to offer three more etchings from this series. The entire suite can be purchased for $4475. This piece would be equally well suited hung individually or with the other works. Printed on archival paper. Signed bottom right. The pieces are in the original portfolio and have never been framed. Excellent condition. American, circa 1930 Dimensions: Sheet: 17.25" W X 12" H With matting: 18" W X 14" H.

  • Guggenheim (Black)
    By Richard Hamilton
    Located in London, GB
    Perspex form, vacuum formed acrylic and spray painted black, 1970, signed and dated verso, from the edition of 106, although an edition of 750 was planned it was not fully executed, published by xartcollection, Zurich, 59 x 59 x 9.8 cm. (23.2 x 23.2 x 3.9 in.) In 1970 British-Pop artist Richard Hamilton was invited to produce an edition of 750 small-scale multiples of the Guggenheim. The intention was to produce vacuum-form reliefs in Perspex and offset the costs of expensive molds by creating a large edition. In the end, the project proved more technically difficult than anticipated. Of the three colours (black, white and chrome), only a total of 271 were realised, 117 in white. The xartcollection was created in 1968 in Zurich, Switzerland by Sandro Bocola...
