James Rosenquist Rosenquist at Leo Castelli (Hand Signed and inscribed by James Rosenquist), 1988 Offset Lithograph Poster (Hand Signed and Dedicated) Frame included: held in original vintage frame under plexiglass A collectors' item when hand signed by the artist as the present work Early historic Leo Castelli exhibition poster published on the occasion of the James Rosenquist exhibition "Through the Eye of the Needle to the Anvil". Especially rare when hand signed and dedicated as this is. Framed and ready to hang. This poster was dedicated to art lover and musician Louise Voscinar - an accomplished flutist and teacher. A wonderful piece of art historical ephemera, especially for those who appreciate and collect artifacts from the legendary Leo Castelli gallery - the first gallery to exhibit Warhol's pop paintings. Measurements: Framed: 25.5 inches (vertical) x 40 inches (horizontal) Artwork visible: 23.5 inches by 37.5 inches James Rosenquist (November 29, 1933 – March 31, 2017) became well known in the 1960s as a leading American Pop artist alongside contemporaries Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, and other figurative artists. As with his contemporaries, Rosenquist’s background in commercial art deeply influenced his nascent fine-art career and radically changed the face of the art world and the annals of art history. While each Pop artist developed a distinct style, there were commonalities in their approaches to image-making that helped define the Pop art movement in the early 1960s: the use of commercial art techniques, and the depiction of popular imagery and everyday objects. Drawing on his early experience as a billboard painter, Rosenquist culled imagery from print advertisements, photographs, and popular periodicals and recombined these to create mysterious and bold compositions. Utilizing the visual language of advertising, described by the late American curator Walter Hopps as "visual poetry," his work has plumbed questions ranging from the economic, romantic, and ecological to the scientific, cosmic and existential. Creating seminal new work over more than five decades, Rosenquist consistently expressed facile talent in painting, collage, drawing, and printmaking. His work is included in major public and private institutions, and has been featured in solo exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Museum of Modern Art, Walker Art Center, Whitney Museum of American Art, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, The Menil Collection, The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Denver Art Museum, Tretyakov Gallery, Museum Ludwig, Wallraf-Richartz Museum, and other national and international institutions.
