About the Item

Baldur Helgason drawing 2018: Baldur Helgason Jorgen the Dog Day: A robust, lively Helgason hand-drawing defined by the artist’s signature style. Medium: wax crayon on paper. Unique. Executed in 2018. 11.75 x 9 inches (28.7 x 22.9 cm). Dimensions including frame: 18.75 x 21.75 inches. Framed in glass; appears in excellent overall condition (not examined out of frame). Hand-signed 'Baldur' (lower right). Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist 2018; Christie’s New York 2023. Baldur Helgason combines elements of caricature with oil painting and portraiture techniques inspired by portrait masters like John Singer Sargent. Most of Helgason’s works feature a mischievous cartoon man that serves as the artist’s avatar. Drawn in the style of classic animations like Felix the Cat and Betty Boop, the perpetually smiling everyman is both childlike and unsettlingly adult in his activities, as in the piece Etc. Etc. Etc. (Action Painting) (2020), where he is shown holding a lit cigarette in his comically oversized hand. Helgason’s works have been exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, Amsterdam, and Reykjavik, and he had a market breakout in 2021 when his painting Portrait of a Man in a Trench Coat (2017) more than quadrupled its high estimate at auction. _ Please note this work was acquired already framed. The frame is offered as is & we place no guarantees related to (3rd party) framing. Related Categories: Dogs. Dog drawings. Comic cartoon. Icelandic artists. Kaws. Takashi Murakami.
