About the Item
An original signed screenprint on unbranded heavy white wove paper by American artist/art publisher Sewell Sillman (1924-1992) titled "I-S #1", 1968. Hand pencil signed and dated by Sillman lower right, numbered and titled lower left. Limited edition: 50. (The number may differ from what is shown in the photos). Printed in four colors. It was likely printed by either R. H. Norton or Sirocco Screenprints, and published by Ives-Sillman Inc. all in New Haven, CT. Provenance: acquired directly from the Estate of Sewell Sillman. Sheet size: 22" x 28". Image size: 20" x 26". In excellent condition. Extremely rare.
Sewell Sillman was born October 24th, 1924 in Savannah, Georgia. Before entering college, he served with the United States infantry in Europe in World War II and was wounded in combat. Shortly after the war, he enrolled at the experimental Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where he studied with Josef Albers, the abstract painter and theoretician. When Albers accepted a post at Yale, Mr. Sillman followed, receiving a B.F.A. degree in 1951 and an M.F.A. in 1953.
In 1956, Sillman organized an exhibition of Albers’ work for Yale’s new art gallery and in the catalogue used two original screenprints from his mentor’s Homage to the Square series. From this experience grew a collaboration, not only with Albers, but with fellow faculty member and graphic designer, Norman Ives; jointly they issued Interaction of Color—1800 portfolios of eighty screenprints by Albers which became a seminal thesis on color theory. Established in 1962, the firm of Ives-Sillman produced portfolios and prints for other artists such as Jacob Lawrence, Romare Bearden, Roy Lichtenstein, and Walker Evans. A second major Albers work, "Formulation and Articulation," was produced in 1972 in collaboration with Harry N. Abrams Inc.
Described as a quiet man who valued his privacy, Sillman was also a dedicated and demanding educator. Between 1963 and 1965, he taught at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, and after his departure from Yale in 1966, held positions at the Rhode Island School of Design, the State University of New York at Purchase, Ohio State University, and the University of Pennsylvania. Sillman’s work was widely exhibited during his lifetime and is represented in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum of American Art. At the age of 67, Sewell Sillman died of cancer at his home in Lyme, Connecticut in April, 1992.

- JENNY Large Wall Light or Sconce in Enamel & Brass by Blueprint LightingBy Blueprint Lighting, Mathieu Matégot, StilnovoLocated in New York, NYIntroducing Jenny, the latest vintage-inspired fixture from Blueprint Lighting. Named for multi-hyphenate Jenny Mollen; NYT best-selling author, actress, design enthusiast, mom of 2 and wife of actor Jason Biggs. From our Chief Luminary, Kelly Aaron: "I have been working closely with Jenny off and on for the past year while she gives her NYC apartment a facelift--it's been so fun! She and I share a love of 1950s French design, which is obviously a hallmark of the Blueprint aesthetic. One day Jenny texted a pic of a single vintage mid-century French wall sconce she loved and asked if Blueprint could make it for her. Funny enough--I, too, had seen that same sconce the day before and already had my Creative Director/Husband figuring out how to fabricate it. How great is that?! It was meant to be!"
