Yuri Larin (1936-2014). Landscape, 1982. Watercolor on paper, 17 x 18.5 inches. Mounted on cardboard sheet measuring 24 x 28 inches. Signed and dated lower left. Excellent condition. Image is painted on verso side of block print wallpaper sheet of Russian manufacture. Sheet is carefully hinged at corners and can be removed from cardboard backing with relative ease. Estate of Giovanni and Dagmar Migliuolo, NYC. Giovanni Migliuolo is the former Italian Ambassador to the United Nations, USSR and Egypt. Yuri Larin, also Yuriy Larin (1936–2014) is a Russian painter and graphic artist, a member of the Union of Artists of the USSR since 1977. Larin was born in Moscow to the family of a key Soviet political leader, Nikolay Bukharin, and Anna Larina. Following the arrests of his parents in 1938 and until 1946, he lived with his relatives, and following the arrest of his step-father, he was taken to an orphanage near Stalingrad. A hydraulic engineer by training, he worked at the construction of the Saratov Hydro-Electric Plant and at design institutions. In 1960, he began his studies at the department of drawing and painting of the Krupskaya People’s University of Arts, and then, from 1965 until 1970, he studied at the department of art design at the Moscow State Higher School of Arts and Industry (the former Stroganov Institution). His career as a professional artist began in the early 1970s. From 1970 until 1986, he taught at the Moscow 1905 Memorial Arts School. His letter to prof. Vittorio Strada sent in 1980 contained the first statement of his artistic method he would later dub the “concept of the limit state”. He quit teaching after a serious illness, when he lost the ability to use his right hand. He only worked with his left hand since 1986. He died and was buried in Moscow.

Andy Warhol's original poster for the 1982 film "Querelle" is a fascinating fusion of two artistic worlds: cinema and pop culture art. Directed by German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the film is based on Jean Genet's novel of the same name, exploring themes of desire, sexuality and mystery. Warhol, a celebrated figure of the Pop Art movement, brought his unique style to this iconic poster. Using vivid colors and striking contrasts, the poster highlights key elements of the film, including the unsettling sensuality of the main character, Querelle, played by Brad Davis. Warhol's association with the film gave a new artistic dimension to film promotion...

In 1987, the renowned French artist Pierre Soulages showcased his work in an exhibition titled Estampes at Artcurial in Paris, marking a significant moment in his long career. The exhibition, which focused on Soulages' prints, was accompanied by an original poster that has since become a celebrated piece of art in its own right, capturing the essence of his distinctive style. Pierre Soulages, known for his groundbreaking work with black, revolutionized the way the color was used in contemporary art. His series of works referred to as "noir-lumiere" (black light) explored the interplay of light and dark, where the use of black paint became an instrument for creating dynamic surfaces full of texture and depth. Throughout his career, Soulages was deeply interested in the idea of the materiality of paint itself and how it could be manipulated to reflect light, which led him to develop an innovative approach to printmaking. The Estampes exhibition at Artcurial focused specifically on Soulages' prints, offering a closer look at his exploration of graphic arts. This body of work was crucial in understanding the breadth of his artistic practice. Soulages' prints, much like his paintings, were not merely reproductions of his earlier works; they were unique pieces that engaged with the act of creating marks on paper, emphasizing texture and form in a way that was completely aligned with his larger body of work. The original exhibition poster designed for Estampes encapsulated the essence of Soulages’ philosophy. Though the poster’s design reflects the focus on printmaking, it also draws from his signature approach to texture and abstraction. The boldness of Soulages’ work, whether in painting or print, is often characterized by a sense of energy and movement, as he manipulates the surface of the material to evoke both light and shadow. The 1987 poster...
