About the Item

Robert Indiana FALCO Dance Company (Hand Signed/Dedicated), 1968 Silkscreen on metallic and wove paper Hand signed by Robert Indiana with personal inscription on the front Unframed This is a coveted hand signed and dedicated silkscreen, created in the late Sixties- a most desirable era in Pop Art history - featuring wide colorful bands of bright rich rainbow ink with type reversed out of metallic silver background, characteristic of Pop Art in the Age of Aquarius. It bears Robert Indiana's personal ink dedication to a friend"To Herman/My Best/Bob". An edition of this print was selected for the exhibition, "The Prints and Posters of Robert Indiana 1961-1969", at the Department of Art of Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1969, and is featured as a full page reproduction in the catalogue, "Robert Indiana Graphics". In the book's Introduction, Richard Raymond Alasko notes, "Robert Indiana's prints and posters, even more than his paintings, force one to see through the picture to the image." Robert Indiana designed the theatrical sets for the Louis Falco Dance Company in Aspen, Colorado, and this silkscreen poster was created to promote the troupe's 1968 performance of Argot, Huescape and Translucens at the Wheeler Theatre. A 1993 NY Times obituary of Mr. Falco called him one of the finest dancers of his generation and a choreographer of exceptional promise: "Celebrated as the essence of a contemporary artist, Mr. Falco set many of his dances to popular music and commissioned sets by popular artists like Robert Indiana and Marisol.”

  • 'Untitled' original 1960s signed serigraph silver abstract vintage train pop art
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    In this untitled serigraph, Vincent DiMattio combines the aesthetics of the space age with Pop Art sensibilities and techniques. In the postwar era of the 1950s and 1960s, the United States was in the midst of a period of economic growth for the middle class, and so the trappings and imagery of middle class life became the subjects of a number of artists. While figures like Andy Warhol focused on images of celebrities and soup cans, here DiMattio looks to robots and rockets. At the far left, a figure appears with a round green head and a small clamping arm. To the right, a form like a tank with phallic protrusions, one with a head like the form of a space ship. These signs all alight with the space age toys...
