Pop Art Bandage Mixed Media, Circa 1950s Unsigned
About the Item
This circa 1960s wall art depicts a bandage and is three-dimensional, not printed. Composed of a rubber, perforated "bandage" base and a centered square of what appears to be a cotton-linen blend "gauze" pad. The bandage is glued to paper, but with a slight ripple on one side, emphasizing the dimensionality.
Obviously, it's perfect for a washroom, a medical office, a collector of curiosities, oddities and medical display models.
Because I am not in fact sure this is a deliberate work of art by somebody who chose not to sign their work, or a medical display item, used by salespeople.
Though there appears to be a slight dark stain on the gauze that looks deliberate, not accidental and is suggestive of blood.
And this detail makes me think, it must have been created as a work of art.
Either way, the effect is a powerful, eye-grabbing focal-point of pop art for your wall. Or chair, if you like to lean framed things like me.
The piece measures 30" long and is 10.5" tall with a depth of 1". The original glass was cracked so has been replaced with new glass by the same frame shop that framed the original.
From the private collection of a Connecticut collector.

Both the human figure and the snake were painted on scrap wood paneling and each has an aluminum beer pull-tab on the back for hanging. The works have been framed so the pull tab is not visible; if you prefer, simply remove the frames and both pieces will be as created. The snake painting...Category
