About the Item

1-2-3 Outside reproduces James Rosenquist’s 1963 oil painting of the same name, collected in the Spencer Museum of Art, The University of Kansas, Lawrence. Rosenquist sourced the imagery from magazine cutouts. Arranging the composition into thirds, the artist juxtaposes a partial view of a car's shiny hood with folds of fabric and a plain white upper third flanked with textured vertical grey rectangles. As in many of Rosenquist's images, there is pure visual pleasure in the car's chrome shine and carefully arranged folds of satin. In the original painting, the upper third of the composition features two wooden lengths on either side with a length of wire stretched between them -- an elegant reproduction of the barbed wire barriers used in wartime. At the time of publication, the United States was still three years away from the end of the Vietnam War. Here, the red and blue of the fabric and the car with the eerie white suggest that consumer goods such as cars and dresses constitute an essential part of American-ness: rivaled only in their importance by the wars waged by the United States. ix-color lithograph on Hodgkinson handmade paper Paper 40.5 x 31 in. / 102.9 x 78.7 cm Image 30.8 x 20.25 in. / 78.4 x 51.4 cm Edition 70 with 20 AP. Signed by the artist and dated 1972 lower right; numbered 6/11 HC lower left. Condition: Soft horseshoe creases and mild indentations on edges of sheet as photographed. Very light foxing along edges. Corner crease. See photos. Rosenquist was a key figure of the Pop Art movement, with other progenitors including Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. A billboard painter turned fine artist, Rosenquist is known for his smooth, graphic painting style, and his use of compositions pulled from collages of magazine cutouts, advertisements, and photographs.

Rainbow: colorful Rosenquist pop art with gold, turquoise, purple, pink, blue
By James Rosenquist
Located in New York, NY
A classic Rosenquist pop art composition with gold, turquoise, purple, pink, blue, green and yellow. Characteristically surreal and graphic, Rainbow incorporates bold geometric forms with painterly washes of color and airbrush texture. Rosenquist's signature gleaming metallic chrome texture can be seen on an inverted fork behind the glass of a golden window. Paper 25.25 x 30.25 in. / 64 x 77 cm Image 17 x 21.5 in. / 43 x 54.5 cm Lithograph with screenprint on cream-coloured Hodgkinson handmade Wookey Hole paper. Edition of 75 with 8 color trial proofs: this impression 8/8. Signed and dated 1972 lower right in pencil; titled, numbered 8/8 and labeled Color Trial Proof lower left in pencil. This graphic, colorful scene is based on Rosenquist’s 1962 oil painting of the same name, collected in the Museum Ludwig in Cologne. The artist used real glass and wood to construct windows for the original painting – here, house siding is abstracted to bold, black horizontal lines, and the window glass is printed in dark gold ink. At the top of the composition, a window with shutters pushed open is colored in turquoise, with sharp black shadows. The left-hand window pane is shattered, and to the right, the outline of an oversized...

Tube James Rosenquist Black and white abstract Pop art chrome based on painting
By James Rosenquist
Located in New York, NY
Printed in the same scale as the original James Rosenquist painting, this black and white, abstract pop art composition features a car door collaged over a gleaming, metallic chrome circle. The shining metal and automobile imagery is characteristic of Rosenquist’s work. Bold, minimalist and monochrome, with a hint of yellow and cobalt blue, Tube's circular composition became a recurring motif for Rosenquist. Circles appear in the artist’s prints from the late 60s – he was interested in the “circles of confusion”, or the phenomenon of a camera lens being pointed directly at the sun.
