About the Item
This large, abstract image celebrates the 13th Annual Community Holiday Festival, 1983 at Lincoln Center. It is signed and numbered by the artist from the edition of 144 (plus 18 APs) and was printed at Fine Creations, NY. This print comes directly from the publisher, Lincoln Center Editions for Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
Best known for imagery that relates to Lyrical Abstraction, Color field painting, and Abstract Expressionism, Dan Christensen (1942 – 2007) was devoted over the course of forty years to exploring the limits, range, and possibilities of paint and pictorial form. He employed methods associated with the action painting techniques of Abstract Expressionism. The result is a distinctive body of artwork that is original, surprising, and filled with joy, exuberance, and pleasure in the act of painting.
Born in Nebraska, in 1942, the son of a farmer, Christensen chose to become an artist when, as a teenager, he saw the work of Jackson Pollock. After receiving his B.F.A. from the Kansas City Art Institute in Missouri, in 1964, he moved to New York City. His “spray loop” paintings, produced by using a spray paint gun, were a fascinating embodiment of the reductive abstract tendencies in 1960s American art, and of the interest of the time in innovative applications of new techniques. With their powerful ribbon-like configurations, and shimmering allover surface effects, these works won the attention of the art critic Clement Greenberg, who became an enthusiastic supporter of Christensen’s art. Christensen had his first solo exhibition in New York in 1967. Two years later he was given his first one-person show at the Andre Emmerich Gallery, joining this important showcase for color-field painting, where works by artists such as Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, and Helen Frankenthaler were also shown. Christensen participated in major museum shows, including the Whitney Annuals in New York and the Corcoran Gallery’s Biennials, in Washington, D.C. From the 1970s until his death in 2007 in East Hampton, Dan Christensen was unrelenting in his exploration of new techniques as well as in his return in new ways to treat forms that had held his attention in the past.
Public collections include the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; Cornell University, Ithaca, New York; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.

Untitled (SK-PH) by Angel Otero (abstract screen print)
By Angel Otero
Located in New York, NY
Angel Otero is known for oil paintings of bleeding color fields that bunch and crease to create topographic textures. In this visually compelling edition, Untitled (SK-PH), the artist flattened one of his compositions into a digital print, turning his signature folds into trompe l’oeil. Here, they read as intricate line work atop a tumultuous sea of brushed pastels. Inspired by a visit to the Lincoln Center archives, Otero drew a connection between the dramatic flair captured in photographs of operas presented during the 1970s and works from his “Poussin” series. Discussing the characters depicted in Poussin’s paintings, Otero remarked, “they were painted with poses that seemed staged, like a play set...
