MICHAELE VOLLBRECHT – "PINUPS"
⚜ Mixed Media Collage ⚜ Signed Lower Left ⚜ Red Shadow Box Frame
A SENSUAL, SATIRICAL COLLAGE FROM A FASHION WORLD INSIDER
This seductive, layered mixed media collage by Michaele Vollbracht draws on a vivid archive of fashion, femininity, and fantasy. Constructed like a diorama inside a deep-set red shadow box, “Pinups” features carefully cut vintage photographs and objects—including a 1950s-style car, erotic silhouettes, and iconic starlets evocative of Marilyn Monroe—set against a gleaming red car hood and anchored by a sculptural crimson rose. The result is a Pop-inflected tableau that both indulges and critiques consumerism, beauty myths, and the male gaze.
A rare surviving work from Vollbracht's lesser-known fine art practice, this collage was acquired directly from the artist by fashion executive Margot Rogoff, a close personal friend and collector of his early works. It reflects the artist’s deep understanding of theatricality, product placement, and body politics—skills honed during a decades-long career at the intersection of fashion illustration, haute couture, and media art.

THE ARTIST:
Michaele Vollbracht (1947–2018) was an American artist, fashion designer, and celebrated illustrator whose career blurred the boundaries between couture and visual art. Best known as the head designer for Bill Blass and creator of his own eponymous fashion label in the early 1980s, Vollbracht earned early acclaim as an illustrator for The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Women's Wear Daily. His bold, fluid ink drawings earned comparisons to Antonio Lopez and Erté, while his signature style—lush, dramatic figures with painterly flair—made him a favorite of Geoffrey Beene, Stephen Sprouse, and Halston.
Vollbracht’s creative language drew on Pop Art, commercial design, and fashion editorial photography, and his work often carried a visual punch similar to artists like Tom Wesselmann, Richard Bernstein, and Patrick Nagel. Later in life, he returned to studio work and created one-of-a-kind mixed media pieces that reflected his lifelong interest in celebrity, glamour, and visual spectacle. His works remain highly sought after by collectors of fashion illustration, Pop Surrealism, and postwar American design.
