About the Item

Alan Davie Guli Wall, 1971 Lithograph on Rives BFK Paper with Deckled Edges Hand signed, numbered 26/200 and dated on the lower front 20 × 25 1/2 inches Unframed This whimsical mid-century modern hand signed, dated and numbered print by renowned Scottish-born British Pop artist Alan Davie published in 1971 was chosen to be included in the 1975 portfolio for the Swiss Society for Fine Arts (Grafikmappe des Schweizerischen Kunstvereins) as part of an international portfolio of 27 prints by world renowned artists. Hand signed and numbered from the edition of 200. Unframed and in fine condition. This vintage European print is especially uncommon stateside. Alan Davie (1920 - 2014) was one of Scotland's most internationally recognised artists with works in public collections across the world. Early on, Davie appreciated the significance of American Abstract Expressionism, having seen Pollock's work in Peggy Guggenheim's collection in Venice in 1948, an experience that inspired him to paint with more improvisation and on a much larger scale. In 1956 Davie made his first trip to the United States where he was the subject of a solo exhibition at the Catherine Viviano Gallery where he was introduced to Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning. By the early 1960s Davie was drawing increasingly on myth and magic symbolism, viewing himself less as an artist than as a medium, or shaman, borrowing signs and symbols from cultures as diverse as the Navajo Indians, the Caribbean islands, Aboriginal Australians, and the Ancient Egyptians, Celts and Picts.
