About the Item

"Three Movements," an original silkscreen by Yaacov Agam, is a piece for the true collector. Agam is considered the father of Kinetic art. His iconic style is recognizable across the globe and has been widely collected for seven decades. His paintings, sculptures, and limited edition works can be found in major museums and private collections. This masterful work is perfect for those who have an affinity for Agam's works, Kinetic Art, Op Art, or abstract works. This serigraph has been conservation framed and is ready to hang. This work is a sought after Artist's Proof (one of only 18) and a Denise René edition. Denise René was a famous French art gallery owner who popularized kinetic art and is known for exhibiting the works of Yaacov Agam, Victor Vasarely, Jean Arp, Alexander Calder, Jesús Rafael Soto, Le Corbusier, Piet Mondrian, and Sonia Delaunay. This work comes with great provenance, with its sale by I. Irving Feldman Galleries (Southfield, MI) in 1977. This serigraph should also not confused with the unsigned copies for sale online that were created by a different publisher and printer and included in a publication similar to a promotion.

IRVING FELDMAN GALLERIES, SOUTHFIELD, MI, 1977 Artist Info/Bio: ARTIST BIOGRAPHY DOCUMENT IS INCLUDED Documentation: CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY IS INCLUDED About the Artist: Yaacov Agam, an Israeli painter best known for his three-dimensional paintings and sculptures that pioneered the Kinetic Movement, is the art world’s best-selling Israeli painter. Agam was born in 1928 in Palestine, the son of a Russian Rabbi. Learning to draw at a young age, he found a passion for art, and began his official studies at the Bezalel Academy of Art in Jerusalem. He then spent two years at the Eidgenossische Technische in Zurich, where he studied under Johannes Itten, before eventually moving to Paris to complete his studies. It was here, in 1953, that Agam held his first one-man exhibition with great success. It was the first one-man show in art history exclusively devoted to kinetic art. Eventually, his body of work would include vibrating and tactile elements, and manipulatable sculptures as well. Agam has gone on to become the subject of retrospectives at the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York. His works are included in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, among others. His works are featured around the world, including in the National Convention House, the Palace Elysee (by order of Georges Pompidou), the Lincoln Center at the Julliard School of Music, the Wailing Wall, and the Holocaust Study Center of Emunah Women of America. Agam has also had many one-man shows in art galleries, including: Denise Rene Gallery, Paris (1956), MarIborough-Gerson Gallery, New York (1966), Gallery Denise Rene, New York (1971) and a series of one man exhibits all over the United States at the Circle Fine Art Galleries. In 2015, one of his paintings sold for $700,000, which was the highest price anyone had ever paid for a work by an Israeli artist. Then, in 2017, the Yaacov Agam Museum of Art was opened in his hometown. He currently lives and works in Paris, France.

"Fieldwork" Large 5+-Foot Original Woodcut on Paper by Roger Herman, Framed
By Roger Herman
Located in Encino, CA
"Fieldwork," an original woodcut on paper by Roger Herman, is a piece for the true collector. This spectacular woodcut cannot be properly communicated digitally – it is a far more impactful and meaningful experience in person. This work of art would definitely enhance most homes or professional settings, perfect for those who have an affinity for abstracts, Neo-Expressionism, modernist paintings, or postmodern art. This woodcut was printed by Hans-Fuss and published by the Graphic Arts Council at LACMA. Work is outfitted with custom, conservation frame. Art historian Howard Singerman's words from the December 1982 ArtForum Magazine: "...Herman's expressionistic style... with its roots in German Expressionism and the New York School, is previously painted. His mean colors, thick pigment, and quick strokes are not a direct record of emotion and activity, they are not painting outside language, but signs for that painting, for an emotion and an activity that are no longer available. The expressionist act is recast as romantic aspiration; in his inscription, Herman evokes painting's past and admits his need for its aura... ...Herman's distance even undermines the emblematic immediacy of his expressionism, which he uses to attain more distance still. Unlike the flattened, aggressive figures that push to, and threaten to push through, the surfaces of most new painting, Herman's figures are situated in middle ground and buried beneath the paint..." Artist: ROGER HERMAN (1947-) Title: FIELDWORK Medium & Surface: ORIGINAL WOODCUT ON PAPER (framed) Signed/Numbered: HAND-SIGNED, NUMBERED, AND TITLED BY ARTIST Number: 36 of 75 Year Created: 1984 Country of Creation: UNITED STATES Image Area Dimensions: 24 x 48 INCHES Paper Dimensions: 38 x 62 INCHES Frame Dimensions:* 41.25 x 65.25 x 1 INCHES *This work of art is being sold framed.

Additional Info: HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE WORK BY ROGER HERMAN – PRINTED BY HANS-FUSS WITH BLIND STAMP LOWER RIGHT. PUBLISHED BY THE GRAPHIC ARTS COUNCIL AT LACMA. FEATURES CUSTOM CONSERVATION FRAME. Artist Info/Bio: ARTIST BIOGRAPHY DOCUMENT IS INCLUDED Documentation: CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY IS INCLUDED About the Artist: Roger Herman, a German painter and ceramic artist, has become well known for the broad range of styles encompassed within his work across multiple mediums. Roger Herman was born in Germany in 1947, where he began his studies at the Kunstakademie in Karlsruhe. In 1976, he was offered a fellowship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), which took him across the world to San Francisco. It was here, in California, that his career began to flourish. He started by creating paintings of phenomenal proportion, soon christened as the West Coast parallel of the 80s Neo-expressionist movement. It was highly referential work, drawing on his knowledge of art history, as well as his famed sense of humor. With loose, facile brushwork, his art is reminiscent of the figurative German painters who emerged in the 1970s—like Markus Lüpertz (who taught at the Kunstakademie), Rainer Fetting...

"House, & Flowers, & Moonlight" Oil Painting on Canvas by Ralph Rosenborg Framed
By Ralph Rosenborg
Located in Encino, CA
"House, and Flowers, and Moonlight," an original oil on canvas by Ralph Rosenborg, is a piece for the true collector. In 1988, Louise Nevelson wrote: "Ralph Rosenborg was the first recognized pioneer whose experimental art announced the coming of Abstract Expressionism in the United States during the mid-1930s. Rosenborg was the first to introduce and instruct Jackson Pollock on Abstract Expressionism while at the Non-Objective Painting Museum in the early 1940s, which became the Guggenheim Museum. Ralph Rosenborg is The American Artist. Rosenborg produced daring artworks and explored the possibilities of movements that are expressive of ideas, sensations and passions intended to provoke pure emotions." Both the technical talent of Rosenborg and his choice of subject matter pair perfectly with custom wood frame. This masterful work is perfect for those who have an affinity for abstracts, abstract expressionism, landscapes, and color-rich works. This Rosenborg painting has an important history, with the rare provenance of moving through both Sothebys and Christies auction houses, as well as two notable dealers including Nat Halper and H. Marc Moyens. Full provenance details are outlined below.

MARC MOYENS SOTHEBY’S, NEW YORK, APRIL 1, 1998 COLLECTION OF NATHAN (1907-1983) & HELEN HALPER (1908-1996), MA HCE GALLERY, PROVINCETOWN, MA (OWNED BY NATHAN HALPER) About the Artist: Ralph Rosenborg, an American painter, was known for his abstract paintings that inclined not toward geometric form, but rather the interpretation of nature. Rosenborg was born in New York in 1913, his talent for the fine art appearing early. While still in high school, he won a scholarship to classes at the American Museum of Natural History, meeting Henriette Reiss, who he continued to study under privately well after the classes ended. Reiss had worked with Wassily Kandinsky earlier in her career, and as such introduced Rosenborg to the vast arena of vanguard European ideas, as well as provided him a broad-based instruction in music, literature, and art history. After four years, Rosenborg was ready to exhibit. He did so initially in group exhibitions at ACA Galleries, and later in Mayor La Guardia’s 1934 Mile of Art at Radio City. He quickly gained notoriety, and began to show frequently throughout the 1930s, leading up to his first solo exhibition at the Eighth Street Theater...
