About the Item

James Strombotne Love, 1965 Lithograph with Deckled Edges Hand signed, dated and annotated "Bon a Tirer" on the front; with publishers blind stamp 30 × 22 1/4 inches Unframed This is the very elusive and desirable James Strombotne lithograph, "LOVE", done at the Tamarind Institute in the mid-1960s. It is annotated Bon a Tirer print, which means "ready to print" - a unique example aside from the regular edition of an unknown quantity - because we have yet to see another example on the market. (We'd love to if you know of any others!) A Bon a Tirer print is the very first print ever done that an artist officially approves and signs - and hence is considered one of the most desirable, if not the most desirable from the edition. It is also a unique work in the edition - as there's only one "Bon a Tirer". Hand signed, titled, and dated by artist on the lower recto (front) and bears the printer's and publisher's blind stamp. Unframed and in fine condition. Provenance: Dr. Bernard " Bernie" Bleha, a master printer at Tamarind and co founder of Gemini G.E.L. James Strombotne romantic visionary Strombotne, born in Watertown, South Dakota in 1934, was raised in Southern California. He received a fellowship from Pomona College to travel in Italy, and at age 27 was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for further study in Rome. His first one man show in Beverly Hills in 1958 was an instant success, and since then he has had over 70 solo shows, including four in New York and nine major retrospectives.

  • Marilyn Monroe I Love Your Kiss Forever Forever, Deluxe Edition, signed/n 85/100
    By Andy Warhol
    Located in New York, NY
    Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonne Reference: Feldman & Schellmann II.5 Marilyn Monroe I Love Your Kiss Forever Forever, 1964 Color lithograph on two pages wove paper (from the Artists & Collaborators hand signed edition of 1 Cent Life Portfolio, Estate of the artist Robert Indiana) Edition 85/100 Hand signed by Andy Warhol on the front; numbered 85 on the colophon page a copy of which is affixed to the back of the frame Framed: Elegantly floated in a museum quality wood frame with UV plexiglass A copy of the colophon page has been affixed to the back of the frame. This is the first time the work has been removed from the original signed portfolio acquired from the Estate of Robert Indiana, one of the artists in 1 Cent Life. Framed: elegantly floated and framed in a museum quality wood frame with UV plexiglass This iconic 1964 Andy Warhol lithograph, splayed across two separate pages, is from the Deluxe, hand signed edition of only 100 of the legendary 1 Cent Life Portfolio - one of the most important and celebrated artistic collaborations of the 1960s. Provenance is superb as this was part of the complete portfolio acquired from the estate of Pop Artist Robert Indiana. (There was also an unsigned regular edition of 2000) "Marilyn Monroe I Love Your Kiss Forever Forever" is Warhol’s first depiction of Marilyn Monroe. Unlike later portrayals of the classic Hollywood star’s likeness set against vibrant colors, here Warhol has detailed a focused image of Monroe’s most seductive and elusive feature - her lips - set against a stark white backdrop. Chinese American artist and writer Walasse Ting, in collaboration with Sam Francis, assembled a group of the most significant Pop and Abstract Expressionist artists in America, including Andy Warhol, along with the European COBRA artists to create the definitive artistic portfolio, with text by Walasse Ting. The Deluxe edition, which features hand signed prints, was published in a limited edition of only 100. This is one of them. Of the 100, editions numbered 60-100, or 40 portfolios, were reserved exclusively for Artists & Collaborators. This hand signed Andy Warhol lithograph...
