This is a stunning mixed media embossing, linocut, with watercolor and silver leaf applied decoration on hand made paper, mounted on linen board. It is hand signed in graphite. The total edition was 10 but each work is unique. Another unique work from this series can be found in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Museum, and the entire series of monotypes -- TV Rerun A, B, and C, can be found in the permanent collection of the Walker Art Museum. Published by Tyler Graphics in New Bedford, New York.
IV A/2
According to the Tyler Graphics catalogue raisonne, "Within the TV Rerun editions, paper colors vary. For each print, the artist selected one of the five colored papers that he and Tyler designed and made for the editions. Shields assigned Roman numerals in the prints, identifying the papers: I for lavender; II for blue; III for yellow pink; IV for orange and V for yellow-green. .." The present work is hand numbered: IV A/2.
The catalogue raisonne further notes: "In printing the editions, Shields used a ghost impression technique. ..The first application of ink, for TV Rerun A, was heavy so that the colors bled beyond the incised, inked grooves in the block."

Alan Shields pushes the boundaries of what defines a print. He came of age artistically in the late 1960s in New York. Expanding the boundaries of Minimalism, he became known as a master of aesthetic invention through his wide-ranging exploration of materials and techniques. His mixed media works often contain combinations of traditional silkscreen processes combined with found materials, as in this colorful relief with handmade paper construction. This is a rare printer's proof, aside from a very small edition of 20, which the publisher sold out long ago. Each work is handmade, with unique variations.
Shields died in 2005 and has since been ripe for rediscovery. In recent years, Shields' work has been exhibited by Van Doren Waxter, and he was the subject of a major exhibition at the Parrish Art Museum. In 2013, Paula Cooper Gallery inaugurated her 10th Avenue exhibition space with a major Alan Shields exhibition.
New York Times critic Roberta Smith wrote in her 2005 obituary for the artist: "Mr. Shields's work combined expanses of gorgeous stained color, reminiscent of Helen Frankenthaler's canvases, with the humbler crafts and a Gypsy sense of portability." Critic Robert Hughes has described Shields as a brilliant bricoleur who could, and often did, make art out of just about anything. He became an innovative printmaker, experimenting with handmade paper and turning out editions in which each print was unique. After his passing, Shields was awarded a Judith Rothschild Foundation grant given to recently deceased abstract artists whose work is of the highest quality but merits further recognition.
Not examined outside of original vintage 1970s frame, but appears fine.

Alan Shields (1944 - 2005) is known for making art out of just about anything, often using sewing techniques coupled with painting, tie-dying, or wire bending. The critic Robert Hughes called Shields, "a brilliant bricoleur." Shields came to the notice of the art world virtually overnight after an exhibition in 1969 at the Paula Cooper Gallery, New York. By the mid-70's Shields was a focus of the contemporary art world and in 1973 was featured on the cover of Artforum. Today Shields' work can be found in the collections of many major American museums, including the Smithsonian Institute in Washington and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
