Larry Zox
Untitled (Diagonal Composition)

circa 1965

About the Item

This stunning serigraph, "Untitled" (Diagonal Composition) was realized by the esteemed American color field artist Larry Zox (American, 1936-2006) circa 1965. It features a dynamic composition of overlapping diamond forms in tones of orange sapphire, citrine and black- all bordered by white. Geometric and full of verve, this piece is sure to delight discerning collectors of first rate modern art, as well as those with a penchant for all things exquisite. Its vibrant color palate and clean modernist lines make this piece well suited for any style of interior from classic Mid Century to contemporary. The work is signed "Zox" and numbered "36/100". It comes presented in a custom brushed aluminum gallery frame and is in excellent condition. Born in Des Moines on May 31, 1937, he studied art with, among other teachers, George Grosz. Zox’s early work was informed by Abstract Expressionism that evolved into the sharp geometrics, imbalances and tensions of his mature canvases. In 1973, the Whitney Museum of American Art recognized his achievements in the field with a solo show of his work. Zox is represented in esteemed private and institutional collections throughout the world including The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Tate Modern in London, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. American, circa 1965 Dimensions: Sheet: 32 x 23 3/4 inches. Framed: 40.5 by 31.25 by 1.5

  • DeVilbiss Purfume Art Deco Poster by George Petty for the A.C. Schultz Company
    Located in New York, NY
    This beautiful Art Deco poster was realized by the esteemed American Artist George Petty for the A.C. Schultz Company in 1926. The work is an advertisement for DeVilbiss Perfume, which depicts a "Petty Girl" (as they came to be known) in the center of the composition floating in a pentagonal black color block. With short cropped silvery white hair and red lipstick, the female figure in center (suggestive of a stylized flapper) squeezes the atomizer of her perfume bottle misting herself in fragrance. Skyscraper style geometric forms suggesting elaborately faceted gemstones- in hues of rose, lavender, orange sapphire and yellow diamond- explode around her, suggesting the stage design for the set of the iconic film "Metropolis". The top of the composition features a bronze color block reading "DeVilbiss Perfume sprays" and in scrolling Deco lettering text reads “A drop of perfume bursting into myriad atoms of fragrance makes the use of perfume an added delight” near the bottom of the piece. Additionally, there is a solid black color block with crystalline black forms emanating outwards at the base of the composition, as well as a geometric abstract form on the right side of the piece imbuing it with a distinctly modernist inflection. With its quintessentially Art Deco sensibility, this piece is sure to delight discerning collectors of the period as well as those with a distinct appreciation for unusual (and stunning) fine art pieces. its vibrant palate and clean modernist lines make this piece a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Deco to contemporary. The piece comes presented in a custom gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition.

Born George Brown Petty IV on April 27, 1894 in Abbeville, LA, Petty received his formal training at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago under Ruth Van Sickle Ford...
