Abstract Color Field Lithograph in Pale Blue and Brown
Located in Soquel, CA
Abstract Color Field Lithograph in Pale Blue and Brown by American Beat artist Will Peterson (1928-1994.) This lithograph blends the linework and movement of abstract impressionism with a color field-esque composition. A long copper-brown rectangle shines through from the bottom layer of the colors. It is then crossed in multiple places by black linework and hatching. Around this shape a pale cornflower blue acts as a frame and crosses the brown shape in the center. The addition of the cool black and blue tones creates a sense of warmth in the underlying shape. Lithograph is printed on wove paper which is fixed to a larger piece of handmade paper containing the artists signature and a small embossing found on his other pieces from this time period. This paper is displayed on top of a linen covered board with sturdy wood edges and a plexiglass over over the entire piece. Will Peterson was born in Chicago in 1928 to German immigrant parents. He contracted Polio when he was in High School and thus spent much of his early years ill. During this time he started working as a cartoonist for his high school’s paper. He started his official art studies at Wilber Wright College in Chicago and later earned a BA and a MA at Michigan State University. Here he studied print making and lithography under John S. deMartelly. He began enjoying artistic success while still in graduate school, exhibiting at the Detroit Art Institute, the Terry Art Institute, the National Print Exhibition, and the Boston Printmakers. Peterson was drafted into the army in 1952 and thus spent time in Korea and Japan. His time as an educational specialist in Hokkaido was a formative experience for him and his interest in Japanese calligraphy and other arts influenced his later work. Upon returning to the United States, he moved to Oakland, California. He became involved with the beat movement and after founding the Bay Printmakers Society with fellow artist Mel Strawn...

"Invest in Love" signed and numbered 9/50 Pop Art Street Art heart & money print
Located in New York, NY
Stephen Powers Invest in Love, 2019 5 Color screenprint on 335 GSM Coventry rag paper Hand signed and numbered 9/50 by Stephen Powers with his distinctive hat logo on the front 14 × 8 1/2 inches Unframed "Invest in Love" was created by the renowned street artist Stephen Powers in 2020 to celebrate the artist's return to his hometown of Philadelphia in December 2019 to transform an empty building into a screen-printing pop-up shop to raise funds for a non-profit arts charity Mural Arts. The building at 1201 Spring Garden Street operated for many years as a bank. (see photograph of Powers' painted mural "Invest in Love"). Powers has exhibited in streets, galleries and museums all over the world. About Stephen Powers A Fulbright scholar who has been awarded many public commissions and exhibited in major institutions like the Brooklyn Museum.... Born and raised in Philadelphia’s Overbrook neighborhood, Stephen Powers (b. 1968, Philadelphia) moved to New York in 1994, where he gained attention as the publisher of On the Go magazine and the author of the graffiti history The Art of Getting Over. In 1997, Powers undertook an ambitious and far-reaching graffiti campaign of his own, using the official-sounding acronym ESPO (Exterior Surface Painting Outreach) to deflect attention from the illegality of his activities. By 1999, he had covered dozens of storefront grates with giant silver block lettering. Powers gave up street graffiti the following year to concentrate on studio-based projects. Powers’s work typically fuses word and image in paintings and graphics that evoke the bright look of a handmade bodega and fairground...

Highly collectible. Makes an excellent gift. Published by the Generali Foundation, Austria on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition. About the exhibition: Hans Haacke (born in 1936 in Cologne, GER, has lived in New York, USA, since 1965) focused on "a single problem area: how the country deals with its history and national identity. More than I care for, these questions stir up emotions both in Austria and Germany." Haacke had been originally concerned with physical and biological systems. Very early on, his artistic practice also included the analysis of and reflection on socio-political phenomena. Haacke's work deals with social and political themes. He considers the debates arising from his works - fierce at times - to be an integral part of them. "Mia san mia" (We Are Who We Are...

Homage to Paul Klee - Etching by Sergio Barletta - 1960
Located in Roma, IT
Homage to Klee is an original etching realized by Sergio Barletta, in 1960. The state of preservation is very good. Hand-signed on the lower right corner. Including a passepartout cardboard cm 49 x 34. Image dimensions: 16x12 cm. This original artwork is one of few examples. Sergio Barletta (Bologna, 1934) is an Italian cartoonist and illustrator. Very young he made his debut for the Saturday insert of the Gazzetta del Popolo, and in the same years he collaborated with several magazines as an illustrator. In 1968 he created Mr. Manager's comic strip for Rinascita, but following the magazine's refusal to publish it because he was too politicized, the strip landed in the magazines Ca Balà and Eureka, to which it also contributed self-contained tables. Later he worked as a satirist with Italian and European magazines. For his irreverent and merciless style he was compared to Jules Feiffer.

Located in Southampton, NY
Colour stencil with dense gouache inks on wove paper. Unsigned and unnumbered with printed title-heading designed by Delaunay, upper left, as issued. Good Condition; never framed or matted. Reference: Delaunay, Sonia. Sonia Delaunay Patterns and Designs in Full Color. Dover Publications, Inc., 1989, page 1. Callu, Florence, et al. Sonia et Robert Delaunay: BibliothèQue Nationale, [Paris, 15 déCembre 1977-29 Janvier 1978]. Bibliothèque nationale, 1977, illustration number 456. Notes: From the folio, Compositions, couleurs, idées: Sonia Delaunay, 1930. Compositions conceived and created 1926-28 and issued as an album of separate loose sheets. Published and printed by Éditions d'Art, Charles Moreau, Éditeur, Paris, 1930. Excerpted from the volume, Sonia Delaunay Patterns and Designs in Full Color, Sonia Delaunay: Ses Peintures, Ses Objets, Ses Tissus Simultanés, Ses Modes (pp. 1-20), was published by Librairie des Arts Décoratifs, Paris [1925]). In addition to the plates by Delaunay, it contained poems by Joseph Delteil, Blaise Cendrars, Tristan Tzara and Philippe Soupault. In a preface, the painter and writer Andre Lhote makes the point that, with a few exceptions, the designs use no florals or other identifiable motif, the representation of nature being replaced by an interplay of abstract elements in a pure state, Forms are organized according to an casily perceived thythm. (The Delaunays frequently thought of their art in musical terms.) In this treatment, according to Lhote, everyday objects offer the artist the greatest challenge. In fact, Sonia Delaunay devoted her talents to all sorts of designs, from furniture and pottery to bookbindings and clothing. Her fashions were much in demand, not so much for originality of silhouette or construction as for inventive-ness of patterning and use of fabric. Lhote says of these designs: "In an epoch when fashion sometimes so indiscrectly unveils the form, it is necessary that the bit of fabric used to cover it be decorated in the most abstract manner, so that the eye is for an instant attracted by the figures different from those born in intimacy." (Translation by H. C. Perleberg:) Compositions, Couleurs, Idées (pp. 21-60) was published by Editions d'Art Charles Moreau, Paris [1930]. The plates reveal Sonia Delaunay's further explorations with abstraction, playing color against color and form against form. SONIA DELAUNAY (1885-1979) was a French artist born to Jewish parents, who spent most of her working life in Paris. She was born in the Russian Empire, now Ukraine, and was formally trained in Russia and Germany, before moving to France...
