Peter Eugene Ball
Untitled

Circa 1970

About the Item

This sophisticated lithograph was executed by the renowned visual artist Peter Eugene Ball circa 1970. Realized in black and white, it depicts a stylized and rather rotund man presented in the manner of Pablo Picasso. The male figure appears with what appears to be a cape and satchel, as well as a floral headdress. The rendering is loose and expressionistic, full of verve. While firmly anchored in figuration, it appears only steps away from abstraction. With its grisaille palate and idiosyncratic style, this piece is sure to delight discerning collectors of first rate prints as well as those with a penchant for compelling objects. The work is inscribed and signed "A.P. To Ned with warm regards Pete Ball" and is in good vintage condition. It comes presented in a lucite frame. American, circa 1970 Dimensions: Framed: 17.5"H X 14.5"W X 1.5"D Image: 15.5"H X 12.5"W

  • Lopokovana and Niginski in "Les Sylphides" Colored Drypoint Signed Troy Kinney
    By Troy Kinney
    Located in New York, NY
    This refined etching and drypoint was realized by the esteemed American artist Troy Kinney in the United States circa 1920. The work features two dancing figures- a woman leaning against the male figure behind her, perhaps moments before being hurled into the air or spun in a graceful twirl. She dons a tutu and ballet slippers that are loosely and abstractly rendered against a white background. The gentleman sports a white shirt and black vest. Both of them have a shock of flaxen hair that offers a beautiful tonal complement to the textured muted jade background. With its refined color palate, clean modernist lines, and masterful handling of the medium, this piece would be a winning addition to any interior regardless of the style of interior. Given the artist's importance and placement within esteemed collections (private and institutional), this piece represents a winning acquisition for collectors of first rate modern art as well as exquisite objects. It comes presented in a custom gilded gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition. Troy Sylvanus Kinney (December 1, 1871 – January 29, 1938) was an American artist, best known for his compelling works portraying dance performers, fanciful subjects, and classically styled nudes...

    By Troy Kinney
    Located in New York, NY
    This beautiful and sophisticated etching and drypoint was realized by the esteemed American artist Troy Kinney in the United States circa 1920. The work features a lone female figure (presumable Vera) with an ombre gradient background standing on a rectilinear black and white floor. She hold the rumpled bunched fabric of a dress (the folded fabric harkening back to Renaissance portraits) as she looks off into the distance. With its sophisticated composition, and masterful handling of the medium, this piece would be a winning addition to any interior regardless of the style of interior.

  • Treffpunkt I from the Treffpunkt Suite Figurative Etching by Jürgen Görg
    By Jürgen Görg
    Located in New York, NY
    This stunning etching, part I of the Treffpunkt Suite (meaning "meeting point" in German) by esteemed artist Jürgen Görg was realized in Germany during the latter half of the 20th century. Under colorfield blocks of sherbet orange- like a geometric tapestry of clouds- the composition depicts two figures in an intensely rapt and erotically charged meeting. On the left, female form sits on a slatted folding chair in a low cut silk dress with tousled hair and one hand elegantly outstretched behind her. Her other hand holds an oversized venetian mask in front of her face, as one strap from her evening gown slips off her shoulder revealing her collar bone. To her right, a man emerges from an indeterminate space holding an even larger white venetian mask that conceals his face with his hand reaching forward towards this lady's upper thigh. The nature of their interaction, as well as the setting and identity of these characters remains deeply enigmatic. Are they strangers meeting at a masquerade ball? Lovers involved in some sort of erotic game? The answers to these questions remain elusive, and serve to add intrigue and power to the work. Its masterful handling of the medium and clean modernist lines make this piece a winning acquisition for discerning collectors of first rate modern art as well as those with a penchant for unusual and compelling objects. It would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Mid Century Modern to contemporary. It comes presented in a custom gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition. The work is signed, titled and numbered "52/150". Jürgen Görg is a German artist best known for his Renaissance-inspired paintings and drawings, often depicting erotic figures...
