About the Item
Illustration Star Wilson McLean executes a 1970s male fashion assignment that is situated at the intersection of realism and abstraction. Four male models are depicted with a tight vertical cropping and are uniformly spaced on a grid-like composition. The artist crops most of the subject's face to emphasize the "Groovy" shirts and ties. Look closely at each close-up of the shirt and tie in itself; they are mini abstract masterpieces with an ultra-high level of detail in their execution. Pulling from recent art history, Wilson McLean's work may indirectly pay homage to the late Italian artist Domenico Gnoli—initialed lower left. This artwork appeared on pages 126-127 of the February 1973 issue of Playboy Magazine, illustrating the fashion article by Robert L. Green titled "Team Spirit," with the caption "In the shirt game, ties count."
Framed in the original metal frame to a frame size of 28.88 x 21 x 1.25

Abstract with Portrait - Oil and Collage on Canvas by Horacio Sapere (1985)
Short Description:
A unique abstract piece by Horacio Sapere, influenced by artists like Antoni Tàpies and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Mixed media combining oil and collage, perfect for contemporary art collectors.
Detailed Description:
Discover the fascinating intersection of abstraction and figuration with "Abstract with Portrait" by Horacio Sapere. Created in 1985, this piece blends oil and collage on a 24 x 18-inch canvas, showcasing the artist's mastery in layering textures and integrating forms.
Horacio Sapere, known for his multidisciplinary approach that spans painting, visual poetry, and performance, aligns himself with the tradition of great contemporary art figures. His work echoes the material intensity of Antoni Tàpies, the gestural energy of Jean-Michel Basquiat, and the narrative capacity of Robert Rauschenberg, establishing a dialogue between chaos and order, abstraction and figuration.
Inspired by the artistic movements of the late 20th century, Sapere crafts a visual language that resonates with Informalism and Abstract Expressionism, making it a standout choice for contemporary art enthusiasts.
This piece is ideal for those looking to enrich their collection with a work that is not only visually striking but also conceptually grounded. It includes a certificate of authenticity to guarantee its provenance and originality.
