Joe Zucker
The Relocation of Property by Natural Forces
Rubber stamp print on Arches 88 paper
Stamp made by Unity Engraving Company, Inc.
Printed by Aaron Arnow
Paper size: 8 x 8 inches (20.3 x 20.3 cm)
Edition of 1000
Numbered lower verso. Unsigned.
Zucker initially worked on three images for the Rubber Stamp portfolio and finally settled on this one. The image, related to his iconic Cotton works of the same time period, is a socio-political commentary on the history and ramifications of industrialization.
The complete Portfolio is comprised of 13 rubber stamp prints, in black and white and color, from the artists Carl Andre, Richard Artschwager, Daniel Buren, Chuck Close, Barry LeVa, Sol LeWitt, Agnes Martin, Robert Mangold, Sylvia Plimack Mangold, Don Nice, Myron Stout, Tom Wesselmann, and Joe Zucker.
Joe Zucker Biography
Joseph Irwin Zucker received a B.F.A. from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1964 and an M.F.A., from the same institution in 1966.
His art was quirky and idiosyncratic, and most often relates to the materials he used, such as cotton and plastic. In the 1970s, Zucker experimented with what became his signature technique: gluing cotton balls to canvas in a gridded arrangement and painting over them. Resulting in a highly textured surface reminiscent of mosaic, this technique radically transformed the surface of the canvas and challenged the “flatness” that critics like Clement Greenberg championed as essential to the discipline of painting.
In his compositions, Zucker constructed simplified geometric renderings of subjects like houses and sailboats, where the subject matter served only as a vehicle for the artist’s exploration of formal qualities. In his series of Box Paintings made in 2004-05, Zucker constructed shallow wooden boxes with various compartments into which he poured a single color of enamel, resulting in flat areas of color that alluded to the ideals of modernist painting.

Publisher: Long Point Gallery, Inc., Provincetown, Massachusetts; Printer: Bruce Porter from Trestle Editions Limited, New York
Rarely to market, this stunning 1988 woodcut was created by Nora Speyer as part of a portfolio produced for sale by Long Point Gallery, an artist's cooperative in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
Superb provenance as it is was acquired from the original Long Point Portfolio. This will be the first time the work will be removed from the portfolio.
It is hand signed and numbered from a very small edition of only 30; it is in fine condition, unframed and never framed, and housed in the original portfolio box, with the original colophon page, which also included works by 11 other artists.
For reference and provenance we have included an image of the colophon page from the complete portfolio.
About Nora Speyer:
The most exciting place to me is where I can communicate with the greatest number of artists. I can't live without some artists around. I'm not saying artists are likable. They can be very objectionable, but they are still my world.
