About the Item

Mary Bauermeister Art Investment Report, 1983 Lithograph on Arches paper Hand-signed by artist, hand signed and dated, with annotated blind stamp 26 1/2 × 20 inches Edition AP/250 Unframed This vintage lithograph on Arches paper by Mary Bauermeister, entitled "Art Investment Report" is a rare Artist Proof aside from the regular edition of 250: "The composition is divided into two sections: the upper portion of the page contains three drawings and the lower is a sea of sentences which organically flow to the bottom of the page. The first two drawings of the upper portion resemble that of a filing cabinet and art easel chopped in half then reassembled. The words art and investment float out of the filing cabinet drawers. The third drawing on the far right has the word report trailing out of a broken box shape with several spiraling piles littering the top section. The drawings are quite intricate and the lines that compose them jump with an electrified quality in some places. The lower section of the drawing is a stream of thoughts which appear illegibly small in some locations and then jump out in all capital letters in others. Words that appear to leap from the page include profit, tax saving and market demands. The text contains phrases like: the art market out- performed the stock market in the BOOM of the 1950s, and should you buy one expensive painting or a whole collection of cheaper paintings. This piece seems to both critically and playfully ask questions about the art market; the irony being that is it an art piece itself. This artwork asks the viewer to reconsider the idea of value and how art is an investment." - University of New Mexico Good vintage condition. The sheet is beige with overall even age toning.
