About the Item

Louise Nevelson Bicentennial Dawn, 1976 Photolithograph, silkscreen and gold foil on white wove paper hand signed, dated and numbered 15/100 with incised signature on the front 35 × 25 inches Unframed This silkscreen and photolithograph with gold foil overlay, signed and numbered from the limited edition of only 100, depicts Louise Nevelson's monumental public sculpture "Bicentennial Dawn" commissioned for the Philadelphia Courthouse. The sculpture was commissioned by the US Government's General Services Administration (GSA) "Art in Architecture" program in celebration of the country's 200th birthday. In the 1970s, the GSA was active in promoting public art in America like this iconic Louise Nevelson work, but in recent years it became better known for its Trump-appointed administrator's rather ignominious role in the 2020 Presidential election. Very good condition; minor creasing and some paper loss and dings around the corners, and some scratching to foil (see photos) much of which will frame out or is visible mostly up close

  • The Wrapped (MCA), Chicago 1969 (Limited Edition of 200, Hand Signed by Christo)
    By Christo and Jeanne-Claude
    Located in New York, NY
    Christo and Jeanne-Claude The Wrapped (MCA), 1969 (Hand Signed), 2019 Four-color offset lithograph on 110 lb. Crane Lettra Cover stock, with an elegant gold foil stamp. Hand Signed by Christo 22 3/5 × 30 inches Edition of 200 Hand-signed by artist, Signed in graphite pencil by Christo on the front. Also elegant gold foil stamp. Unnumbered from the documented limited edition of only 200 Published by Museum of Contemporary Art, (MCA) Chicago Unframed A great gift for anyone with ties to Chicago! This limited-edition, hand signed offset lithograph on 110 lb. Crane Lettra Cover stock commemorates Christo's exhibition "Wrap In Wrap Out", which took place at the MCA’s original location on 237 East Ontario Street, Chicago. The project became the first public building Christo and his wife, Jeanne-Claude, wrapped in the United States. In an illuminating 2010 article entitled, "A daring plan to wrap a Chicago museum raises city ire – and makes art history," author Robin Amer recounts how Christo came to choose Chicago -- or rather how Chicago chose New York based artist Christo: "During a recent conversation he [Christo] ticked off the list of buildings he approached in downtown Manhattan starting in 1961. “Number 2 Broadway, number 20 Exchange Place,” he recalled. “We tried to wrap a building at Times Square. They all said no. Christo said he quickly realized that his best hope to wrap a building – his first in North America – would be to wrap a museum, which might be more amenable to his strange proposition.Christo and Jeanne-Claude approached New York’s Museum of Modern Art in 1967. The museum was interested, but Christo said they failed to secure permission for the show from the New York Fire...

  • Two original abstract lithographs on plate signed limited edition shopping bag
    By Frank Stella
    Located in New York, NY
    Frank Stella The Dayton's Bag, 1984 Two (2) separate offset lithographs: one on each side of a mixed media paper shopping bag 18 1/2 × 16 × 4 inches Plate signed "Frank Stella '84" twice: once on each side of the bag (see photos) This limited edition paper shopping bag with two different color offset lithographs (one on each side) was created by Frank Stella along with his longtime publisher Tyler Graphics. The work is plate signed Frank Stella on the top of each side, and each side bears the printed text, "Dayton's Salutes the Opening of Walker Art Center's New Galleries. Premiere Exhibition Selections from Tyler Graphics, 23 September '84 to 17 May '85." This elegant work, produced with the highest quality lithography by Frank Stella at Tyler Graphics, was created in a limited quantity solely for VIP collectors at that one day's event as it was a true one-off creation. Not too many of them have survived a quarter century on, and rarely in such good condition. Not too many people you know can boast that they possess a Frank Stella shopping bag. Note that this listing is for one two sided shopping bag, each side with a different color lithograph - so it's actually two Frank Stella lithographs...
