Deluxe Signed Edition of Film Festival Lincoln Center (Feldman & Schellmann, II.
By Andy Warhol
Located in New York, NY
Andy Warhol
Deluxe Signed Edition of Film Festival Lincoln Center (Feldman & Schellmann, II.19), 1967
Silkscreen, die-cut on opaque acrylic
Edition 2/200
Hand-signed by artist, As this work was done on acrylic, Warhol signed and numbered it by hand on verso with an engraving needle. Stamped and dated with copyright
A die-cut window has been created in the back of the frame to reveal Warhol's incised signature and edition
Publisher: Leo Castelli, New York
Printer: Chiron Press, New York
Catalogue Raisonne: Feldman & Schellmann, II.19
This work is often hung and displayed both vertically and horizontally - see photos for inspiration
This work is one of only 200 done on opaque acrylic rather than wove paper, signed and numbered on the opaque acrylic by Andy Warhol with an engraving pen. (Separately, there was an unsigned edition of 500 on wove paper). What distinguishes this rare, extremely desirable signed edition of 200, other than that it is signed and numbered by hand by Andy Warhol, is that the black graphic text FIFTH NEW YORK is placed directly over the text Film Festival of Lincoln Center; whereas in the edition of 500, the text black text FIFTH NEW YORK is placed on top of the white text. An innovative feature that appears in this special edition is a perforated line running across the surface of the print, at its triangular cut out sides, mimicking the tear line present in real commercial movie admissions tickets. Chiron Press commissioned by Lincoln Center, devised a special process expressly to imprint the edition with this perforation using a die cut stamp. This work is quintessential early Warhol, with characteristic bright neon colors, featuring text, along with the artist's very recognizable flower motif. The Lincoln Center ticket simultaneously reflects Warhol's central preoccupations with commercial culture (the ticket is, par excellence, an object that is bought and sold), as well as his fascination with Hollywood - as the ticket, quite literally, represents an entree into the world of film. Warhol's appropriation of the flower - an otherwise sentimental and decorative motif, transforming it into a symbol of the Pop Art movement, is a hallmark of his early style and innovations. Andy Warhol's vibrant vintage color silkscreen Lincoln Center Ticket from the fabulous Sixties is considered one of the more iconic and recognizable Warhol images. It is also one of Warhol's earliest prints. The Vera List...

The Lobster’s Quadrille Salvador Dali's Alice in Wonderland 1969
Located in Paonia, CO
The Lobsters Quadrille is from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as interpreted by Salvador Dali and published by Maecenas ( a Random House imprint) 1969 and is from the portfolio of one signed etching in colors and 12 heliogravures with remarque, hors-texte, title page, and text. The frontis page etching is signed in pencil by the artist. The Lobsters Quadrille is in excellent condition. It is a limited Edition 764/2500 signed in the plate by Dali on Mandeure paper.
Photogravure, also known as heliogravure, is a complex intaglio printing process that photographically transfers an image to a plate and then to the page. After the image has been transferred to the plate, it is then etched onto it before being printed onto paper. The results are of incredibly high-quality.photogravure in its mature form was not developed until the late 1870s by Czech painter Karel Klíč. He first included pigment paper in the process of photo technical transfer in 1879 and is regarded as the inventor of photogravure process.There are two steps to the process. Firstly, a copper plate is coated with a light-sensitive gelatine tissue which is then exposed to the light from a photographic image. The gelatine hardens where the light falls, and remains soft where light doesn’t. Following this step, the plate is etched down to different depths according to the hardness of the gelatine. The result of this is a highly defined intaglio plate that can reproduce in great detail the tones of the original photographic image. The printing plate is etched to a different depth according to the finest tonal values, which can be printed after removal of the remaining gelatine using the gravure printing process.

Orange Horizontal Abstract in Gold Frame by Dave Fox
By Dave Fox
Located in Pasadena, CA
"Vibrant" is the name of a series of serigraphs about the 4 seasons in the city, created in the 1960s by the artist Dave Fox. Fox was fascinated by the ever-changing urban landscape of Los Angeles, the City of Angels, and its suburbs. Austria, specifically Vienna, where the artist was from, was dominated by emblematic architecture that contributed to making the city this amazing architectural ensemble, but the styles that made it famous and marked it the most deeply were undoubtedly the Austrian Baroque and the Jugendstil: Art Nouveau. American urban architecture reflected a different space and culture when Fox emigrated to the US, and it was probably an interesting subject and a source of inspiration for him as an artist.
This serigraphy E/25 depicts a simplified representation of American urban architecture and showcases the fall atmosphere through its use of orange texture and brown hues and graphic structures. The piece falls under the category of geometric abstract, which emerged during a period of urban transformation in the United States. It offers a perspective on the culture and space of that time. Fox, who was also a figurative painter, voluntarily chose to express his astonishment and emotions by moving from the former figurative reality of his birth country to an abstract rendering of a new reality.
The result is a painting with rectangular, horizontal, and vertical forms, one of which presents an opening of light, embedded in one of the towering American buildings. The piece is hand signed and numbered in pencil.
Dave Fox was born in Vienna, Austria in 1920, where he lived until shortly after the annexation of Austria in late 1938. Dave escaped via the German-Belgium border, seeking refuge in Belgium. From there he came to the United States in December 1939 and settled in Los Angeles. Dave was inducted into and served with the U.S. Army in the Philippines and Japan.
Returning to the US, Dave studied at some of the first art schools in Los Angeles. He studied with artists, such as Rico Lebrun, Frances de Erderly, and Emil Bistrim at the Bistrim School of Fine Art. At the Jepson Art Institute, Guy Maccoy, a noted pioneer in the art of serigraphy introduced Dave to printmaking. After completing his studies, Dave was employed by an electronics firm as an artist and graphic designer. Dave went on to earn his BFA, MA, and MFA in drawing and painting with a special emphasis in printmaking from California State University Fullerton. Dave’s work included printmaking, painting, drawing, ceramics, and computer graphics.
Dave Fox was an observer of life and translated all that he saw, heard, or experienced into his artwork. Growing up in Austria, the countryside was his playground. From early on Dave belonged to hiking groups and honed his observation skills, which he transferred to his new life in Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles, Dave found new playgrounds – the LA Farmers Market, Melrose Ave., and the streets of Los Angeles at a time of growth and change. It was through his association with Jewish Federation in Los Angeles that he met his wife, Senta. Shortly after their marriage, they moved to Orange County, where they raised their two children.
Dave divided his artwork equally between landscapes and people. He perfected his skills at drawing the human form and giving it personality and life. Throughout his long career, he always returned to themes that reflected his Jewish upbringing. His sketchpad, always with him, became his vehicle for capturing the world he saw.
His interest in Jewish subjects was reflected in the people walking on Melrose Avenue; in the people enjoying Farmer’s Market in LA; in the chestnut vendor and the fish seller; in the Shabbat series, and in the abstract series reflecting a return to Jerusalem. Finally, when Dave turned his attention to ceramics he created a series of Jewish ceremonial objects – seder plates, Kiddush cups, and Havdalah sets...

"Vibrant" is the name of a series of serigraphs about the 4 seasons in the city, created in the 1960s by the artist Dave Fox.

American urban architecture reflected a different space and culture when Fox emigrated to the US, and it was probably an interesting subject and a source of inspiration for him as an artist.
This serigraphy xx/25 depicts a simplified representation of American urban architecture and showcases the winter atmosphere through its use of textured velvet blue hues and graphic structures. The piece falls under the category of geometric abstract, which emerged during a period of urban transformation in the United States. It offers a perspective on the culture and space of that time. Fox, who was also a figurative painter, voluntarily chose to express his astonishment and emotions by moving from the former figurative reality of his birth country to an abstract rendering of a new reality.
