Richard Anuszkiewicz Soft Satellite Red, 1981 Silkscreen on wove paper Signed, dated and numbered 53 from the edition of 100 in pencil by the artist on the front. Bears label from Metzenbaum campaign on back of frame Vintage metal period frame included Terrific 1980s Op Art silkscreen, pencil signed and numbered from the limited edition of only 100. This work is framed in its original vintage frame, and bears the label from the campaign for Metzenbaum for Senator - the longtime Democratic Senator from the state of Ohio, along with a biographical blurb on the artist. Don't forget that Anuszkiewicz studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art in the 1950s before studying with Albers at Yale - so it is not surprising that he would contribute this work several decades later to support a liberal politician from Ohio - where he once studied. (Anuszkiewicz was born in Eerie Pennsylvania). Measurements: Framed: 36 x 36 x 0.5 inches Artwork: 35 x 35 inches Provenance: Originally sold to raise funds for Senator Metzenbaum's campaign. Very good; the work is held in its original 1980s vintage frame...

Not too many Bridget Riley graphic works from this period are on the market. Original Op Art three color silkscreen on 100% handmade rag paper from the early 1970s -- the most desirable and collectible era -- by internationally renowned British abstract Op artist Bridget Riley, one of the leading artists of her generation - and one of the most bankable living female artists in the world. Hand signed, numbered and dated on the lower recto from the limited edition of 150. Also, the verso lower left features printed copyright stamp of the artist, with date: Copyright © 1971 and Bridget Riley Printer's distinctive blindstamp (Kelpra Studios London)with unique inventory number, verso lower right. Riley burst onto the international art scene in the mid Sixties, after being chosen to participate in the groundbreaking “Responsive Eye” exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, alongside artists like Richard Anuszkiewicz, Yaacov Agam and Victor Vasarely - announcing the the ‘arrival’ of Op Art to the world. This stunning work was proofed under the supervision of the artist and printed by hand at Kelpra Studio Ltd., London, England. "Print for Chicago 8" was created for the legendary portfolio "CONSPIRACY: the Artist as Witness", to raise money for the legal defense of the Chicago 8 (who later became the Chicago 7) a group of anti-Vietnam War activists indicted by President Nixon's Attorney General John Mitchell for conspiring to riot during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. (1968 was also the year Bobby Kennedy was killed and American casualties in Vietnam exceeded 30,000.) The eight demonstrators included Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, John Froines, Lee Weiner, and Bobby Seale. (The eighth activist, Bobby Seale, was severed from the case and sentenced to four years for contempt after being handcuffed, shackled to a chair and gagged.) Although Abbie Hoffman would later joke that these radicals couldn't even agree on lunch, the jury convicted them of conspiracy, with one juror proclaiming the demonstrators "should have been shot down by the police." All of the convictions were ultimately overturned by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. This classic Op Art print - quintessential Riley- is becoming increasingly scarce because so many from this edition are in the permanent collections of major museums and institutions worldwide.

Since 1961, she has focused exclusively on seemingly simple geometric forms, such as lines, circles, curves, and squares, arrayed across a surface—whether a canvas, a wall, or paper—according to an internal logic. The resulting compositions actively engage the viewer, at times triggering sensations of vibration and movement. This sense of dynamism was explored to great effect in the artist's earliest black-and-white paintings, which established the basis of her enduring formal vocabulary. In 1967, Riley introduced color into her work, thus expanding the perceptual and optical possibilities of her compositions. Riley was born in 1931 in London, where she attended Goldsmiths College from 1949 to 1952 and the Royal College of Art from 1952 to 1955. Riley’s first solo exhibitions were held at Gallery One, London, in 1962 and 1963, followed by two exhibitions at Robert Fraser Gallery, London, in 1966 and 1967. She was also at that time included in numerous group exhibitions such as Towards Art?, Royal College of Art London (1962); The New Generation, Whitechapel Gallery, London (1964); and Painting and Sculpture of a Decade 1954–1964, Tate Gallery, London (1964). In 1965, her work was included in the now-seminal group exhibition The Responsive Eye, organized by William Seitz at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. In 1968, she represented Great Britain at the 34th Venice Biennale (along with Philip King), where she was the first living British painter to win the prestigious International Prize for Painting. Her first retrospective, covering the period from 1961 to 1970, opened at the Kunstverein Hannover in 1971 and subsequently traveled to Kunsthalle Bern; Kunsthalle Düsseldorf; Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna, Turin; and the Hayward Gallery, London. More recent significant solo presentations include those at Dia Center for the Arts, New York (2000-2001); Museum Haus Esters and Kaiser Wilhelm Museum, Krefeld, Germany (2002); Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney (2004-2005); Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (2008); Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool (traveled to Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery; Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery; Southampton City Art Gallery; 2009-2010); The National Gallery, London (2010-2011); Art Institute of Chicago (2014-2015); The Courtauld Gallery, London (2015); De La Warr...
