1989

About the Item

Steve Sorman has had over 80 solo artist exhibitions throughout the United States . I have included, just for reference, some images of his museum show so that you can see the body of work that he has created which is very similar to this work we have featured. This one large work titled "Burden of Need" measures 39x64 unframed and was created in 1989. I have included many detail images to show the intricacies in this multi media work. There is hand work along with aquatint along with collage etc. He is a master of using multiple techniques within the same work of art. This work on paper is numbered 19 of only 23 that were created. Each will have slight differences due to the many different mediums used to create this work. This work will be shipped unframed in a heavy thick roll. His work is in numerous corporate, private and museum collections, including Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, The Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, in New York City, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Walker Art Center, in Minneapolis, to name only a few. Sorman won the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Merit World Print III Award in 1980, the was the Rockefeller Foundation American Center Artist in Residence in Paris in 1982, and the 2nd International Biennial of Prints Merit Award in 1991 (Bhopal, India). He has exhibited his work at the prestigious Smithsonian Institute for their "Paper as Medium" exhibit. and he also participated in The National Print Exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum and the 13th International Biennial of Graphic Art in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia.

It is hand signed, dated, titled and numbered from the limited edition of 13 - but each is a unique variant. Frame included: Measurements: Frame: 27.75 x 22.5 x 2 inches Artwork: 23.5 x 18 inches Catalogue Raisonne: K. Tyler Tyler Graphics: Catalogue Raisonné, 1974-1985, New York: Abbeville Press, 1987. p. 289. Alan Shields came of age artistically in the late 1960s in New York. Expanding the boundaries of Minimalism, he became known as a master of aesthetic invention through his wide-ranging exploration of materials and techniques. His mixed media works often contain combinations of traditional silkscreen processes combined with found materials. New York Times critic Roberta Smith wrote in her 2005 obituary for the artist: "Mr. Shields's work combined expanses of gorgeous stained color, reminiscent of Helen Frankenthaler's canvases, with the humbler crafts and a Gypsy sense of portability." Critic Robert Hughes has described Shields as a brilliant bricoleur who could, and often did, make art out of just about anything. He became an innovative printmaker, experimenting with handmade paper and turning out editions in which each print was unique. After his passing, Shields was awarded a Judith Rothschild Foundation grant given to recently deceased abstract artists whose work is of the highest quality but merits further recognition. About Alan Shields: Alan Shields (b. 1944, Herington, KS; d. 2005, Shelter Island, NY) created unique, imaginative, and theatrical structures using unconventional materials and vibrant color. His three-dimensional paintings convey a playful, deconstructive impulse through the incorporation of un-stretched hand-dyed canvas, rope, yarn, beads, and wood. Shields moved to New York City in 1968, where he showed with Paula Cooper...

  • DH in Hollywood (David Hockney) Howard Hodgkin colorful abstract painting framed
    By Howard Hodgkin
    Located in New York, NY
    Howard Hodgkin based this print on a trip he took to visit his good friend and fellow Petersburg Press collaborator David Hockney in Los Angeles. The mid-eighties saw new levels of abstraction in Hodgkin’s work, building exuberantly off the ambiguous spaces of his earlier work. The artist used six colors of paint, producing a unique depth and texture to each print in this edition. Howard Hodgkin was introduced to the etching technique used in DH in Hollywood at Petersburg Press, where he was a long-time collaborator. Soft-ground etching allowed him to work fluidly and spontaneously, giving his prints the characteristic black brushstrokes seen in this print. Paper 8.4 x 11 in. / 21.3 × 27.9 cm Soft-ground etching (from one plate) with hand coloring in watercolor (orange-red, brown, and green) and oil pastel (red and...
