About the Item

George Rogers, 'Sculpturegraph' (Black, Gray, and Silver), color sculpturegraph, edition 40, 1984. Signed, dated, titled, and numbered '25/40' in pencil. A superb, richly-inked, painterly impression, in black, grey, and metallic silver, on cream, wove Japan paper; the full sheet with margins (7/8 to 1 5/8 inches), in excellent condition. Image size 13 1/4 x 8 7/8 inches; sheet size 16 1/2 x 12 1/4 inches. Matted to museum standards, unframed. The term 'sculpturegraph' was coined by the artist to describe his 1984 series of dynamic relief prints produced by overprinting a series of abstract compositions, each created on a distinct matrix. ABOUT THE ARTIST Born in Alabama, African American sculptor, printmaker, and model maker, George Rogers (1930-2002) was active in Detroit. Rogers was the first Black clay modeler for the Ford Motor Company. His many sculpture installations are prominent in the Detroit area, and he was co-founder of 'Gallery 7' a collective and gallery space that represented Black abstract artists for over 20 years.
