Eric Kroll - Madonna at Danceteria NYC 1983 Memorial for Michael Stewart, Signed

By Eric Kroll

Located in New York, NY

Silver gelatin print The present work is hand signed with the artist's copyright, dated 1983, and titled on the back. It is numbered 3 of an edition of only 10. On October 3, 1983, Madonna headlined a memorial concert in honor of Michael Stewart, a graffiti artist in the midst of the AIDS crisis who became a victim of police brutality. Madonna was only 24 years old in 1983, but had already signed her first record deal and was on the cusp of superstardom. In 1984, the year after Madonna appeared in Kroll's shoot, she would release chart hits Like A Virgin, Material Girl and Crazy For You, cementing her place as an international star. This photograph was taken by renowned photographer and editor Eric Kroll backstage at Danceteria - a gritty and popular after hours club and concert venue on West 21st Street in Manhattan, operating out of the first three floors in an old industrial 12-story building. The visible text "ACCUTUNKTIONA TO THE POINT!" and "UNK" are actual, gritty wall graffiti from the venue, adding to the candid nature of the shot. Eric Kroll is a notable photographer, best known for his many fetish subjects, and for documenting America’s seediest spots and denizens, sharing a certain aesthetic with fellow photographers Larry Clark and Richard Kern...

Venetian Window Oil Painting, European Architectural Interior Scene, 1980s

By Josep Maria Vayreda Canadell

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Medium: Oil on canvas Date: c.1985 Dimensions (canvas): 46 × 38 cm 18.11 × 14.96 inches Dimensions (framed): 69 × 61 cm 27.16 × 24.01 inches Signature: Signed lower right Frame: Included Condition: Very good condition. Stable canvas, no visible restorations. Atmospheric European architectural oil painting depicting a Venetian window with open green shutters, rendered in a refined realist style. The composition highlights aged brickwork, textured plaster and filtered Mediterranean light, creating a calm and contemplative presence. Rather than focusing on narrative, the work emphasizes tonal harmony, surface quality and architectural rhythm. Painted circa 1985, this piece belongs to the artist’s mature period, when Venetian and Mediterranean architectural subjects became recurring themes in his production. The controlled brushwork and balanced palette reflect a synthesis between academic European training and Mediterranean sensitivity. The work is documented and published in a monographic book dedicated to the artist’s production, reinforcing its authenticity and relevance within his body of work. Venetian subjects remain highly desirable among collectors and interior designers seeking elegant European character pieces with architectural depth and decorative strength. An excellent example of late 20th-century Spanish realism with strong decorative appeal. Josep Maria Vayreda C...

Zen Minimalist Flowers Etching American Modernist Ed Baynard Pop Art Print

By Ed Baynard

Located in Surfside, FL

ED BAYNARD (American, 1940-2016) Flowers, Flowers in a Vase, Etching. 1979/1980, Hand signed, dated l.r., Hand numbered from small edition 12/24, Dimensions: 23 by 19 in. Framed 25 by 21 in Born in Washington, D.C. in 1940. Raised in Washington, D.C. and newly graduated from high school, he flew to Europe living off and on in Paris and London. During this time, he designed costumes for Jimi Hendrix, worked as a graphic designer for the Beatles as well as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Returning to New York, he dedicated his life to art after a surprise success with his first show in 1971 at the Willard Gallery in NYC. Ed's images are Zen-like in their simplicity and grace rendered in a flat, graphic style that recalls Japanese Ukiyo-e prints. His watercolors are luminous, like the rest of his representations regardless of the medium. The Japanese inspired ukiyo-e style woodblock prints and lithograph works he created at Tyler Graphics in 1980 contain a 20th century "floating world" sensibility. Ed's wish was to bring harmony, color, and a meditative stillness to this chaotic planet. He did so in a gentle and powerful way, always as an expression of his deep gratitude for the love and beauty, friendship, and concerns he held dearest. His first solo exhibition was in 1971 at New York's legendary Willard Gallery on the recommendation of Agnes Martin. Baynard went on to have exhibitions at galleries including Betty Parsons Gallery, New York (1973); Marian Goodman Gallery, New York (1977); John Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco (1980); and Barbara Gladstone Gallery, New York (1980/81).. Baynard manages to retain a simplicity of form inspired by a love of Japanese Woodblock prints. His new works reflect the same poetry of his earlier paintings, retaining his stylized compositions with their Zen like minimalism and Oriental calm, along with a new sense of rhythm and movement. Baynard uses familiar themes such as flowers, plants, pots, and vases, incorporating them into his delicate watercolor still lifes, thus creating stunning visual feasts. He was included in the 1972 Landscape exhibition at MoMA NY alone with other luminaries James Boynton, Christo, Jan Dibbets, Minnie Evans...
