About the Item

Title: Mid Century French Abstract Architectural Ink Drawing Signed Serge Guerin by Serge Guerin (b. 1916), French signed lower right “Serge Guerin”, name stamped verso Black ink on paper, unframed Size: 19.75 (height) x 25.75 (width) inches Provenance: private collection, Paris, France Condition: overall good and sound; faint paper toning and light handling marks consistent with age; no visible tears or stains; the ink remains deep and crisp. Description: An original mid-century ink drawing by French artist Serge Guerin (b.1916), known for his refined and architectural approach to geometric abstraction. Executed in precise black ink on textured artists paper, this composition features three striking spire-like structures linked by fine linear elements. The sharp angular geometry and delicate cross-hatching demonstrate Guerin’s command of form and balance. Each tower-like shape appears both architectural and organic, suggesting futuristic cityscapes, crystalline formations, or abstracted natural growths. This elegant black and white composition exemplifies Guerin’s fascination with structure, rhythm, and line—hallmarks of the post-war French School of abstraction. His drawings merge the discipline of Constructivist design with a lyrical, almost musical sense of movement. The negative space between forms enhances their energy, while the bold ink work emphasises contrast and depth. Signed “Serge Guerin” lower right, this drawing is both a study in precision and an artwork of striking modernist beauty. Ideal for collectors of mid-century modern, architectural or geometric abstraction, this piece would suit minimalist, contemporary, or design-led interiors. It stands as a testament to Guerin’s meticulous craftsmanship and his ability to express motion through pure line. Unframed and in very good condition, this original work from the artist’s estate offers an opportunity to acquire a rare French mid-century abstract drawing with exceptional graphic clarity and timeless appeal.

Pencil Signed Abstract Geometric Graphic Design Lithograph Print, Bauhaus Artist
By M. Peter Piening
Located in Surfside, FL
M. Peter Piening was born on March 14, 1908 in Grabow, Germany. He began his education at a private school in Italy, studied at the Jesuit school of Kloster Ettal in Bavaria, and attended the German Stettin Gymnasium, where he graduated in 1926. Between 1926 and 1928 Piening studied design at the Bauhaus in Dessau, Germany. There he was taught by multiple famous twentieth-century artists, including Joseph Albers, Paul Klee and Mies van der Rohe. After receiving his master’s degree from the Bauhaus in 1929, Piening enrolled at the University of Berlin and obtained his PhD in philosophy in 1931. Piening spent his early career free-lancing as an illustrator and artist for various publishing companies, eventually settling in Paris to work for Condé-Nast’s French publication of Vogue. In 1934 he moved to the United States to work in Condé-Nast’s New York City office. For the next two decades, Piening worked for many important advertising agencies and magazine publishers, including the N. W. Ayer and J. Walker Thompson agencies and Life and Fortune magazines. As art director for Life in the 1930s and for Fortune in the 1940s, Piening completely redesigned the layout of each magazine. He also redesigned the layouts for thirty-four other major American magazines, including Town & Country and Cosmopolitan. Through his design work, Piening had a great impact on the American public, although the millions who encountered his work most likely never knew his name. Between 1934 and 1964, Piening designed over sixty logos and trademarks for internationally-known products and companies. His most widely-recognized logo may have been the three interlocking rings of Ballantine beer. Piening’s other trademark designs include the Lincoln Zephyr...
