About the Item

Stanley William Hayter Big Horse (Black & Moorhead 46), 1932 Engraving & Drypoint on antique white Canson Vidalon laid paper affixed to original matting Hand signed, numbered 8/30 and dated 1932 by the artist on the lower front Unframed and affixed to original matting (ready to be re-framed) Stanley H.W. Hayter was one of the most important and influential printmakers of the 20th century. This is one of the most coveted early Hayter etchings, done in Paris before World War II, in a small edition of only 30, many of which have been lost. In the foreword to the catalogue that accompanied an early Hayter print retrospective, Bryan Robertson, former director of London's Whitechapel Gallery wrote: "Hayter, working always with maximum flexibility in painting, drawing, engraving and collage, has invented some of the most central and significant images of this century before most of the other artists of his generation. He is an originator, and it is a sign of this artist's vitality and youthfulness that he has never bothered to put on the mantle of elder statesman which he has an indisputable right to wear....." Hayter founded the legendary Atelier 17 Studio in Paris, later known as Atelier Contrepoint, where the present work was created. Hayter's studio would relocate to New York during the war. Artists like Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Dorothy Dehner, Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Max Ernst, Andre Masson, Yves Tanguy, Marc Chagall Jacques Lipchitz, Alberto Giacometti, Joan Miro, Robert Motherwell and Louise Nevelson all passed through Hayter's (whom they affectionately called "Bill") studio, and his work has been recognized in museums around the world such as the Tate Gallery in London. Hayter was associated with the Surrealists in the 1930s and the Abstract Expressionists after his move to New York in 1940. This work is also fully referenced in the catalogue raisonne of Hayter's prints. (Black & Moorhead, Plate 46). It has been removed from the original vintage frame, and is affixed to the original matting, so it is ready to be re-framed. Measurements: Matting: 18.5 x 15.5 inches Print: 12 x 9.6 inches The work is in very good, stable vintage condition. It is affixed to the original matting and is ready to be re-framed

Original Graham Gallery poster, hand signed by sculptor Nancy Graves, Framed
By Nancy Graves
Located in New York, NY
Nancy Graves Original Graham Gallery poster (hand signed by Nancy Graves), 1968 Extremely rare vintage offset lithograph poster (hand signed by Nancy Graves) hand signed by Nancy Graves in pencil on the front Frame included: held in museum quality wood frame with UV plexiglass Publisher: Graham Gallery This late 1960s vintage Graham Gallery poster is hand signed by Nancy Graves on the front. It was published on the occasion of her "Camels" exhibition - a groundbreaking show in the artist's young life, as she died at age 54 of breast cancer. (People forget how brave she was, a sharp counterpoint to the style of the macho Minimalists of the era, like her ex husband Richard Serra.) The following year -- in 1969 - Nancy Graves became the first woman ever to have a solo show at the Whitney Museum. We've never seen another of these posters anywhere else in the world - let alone one hand signed by Nancy Graves. Elegantly framed in a museum quality wood frame with UV plexiglass Measurements: Frame: 17 x 17.5 x 1.5 inches Work: 10 x 10.75 inches About Nancy Graves: Nancy Graves (1940–1995) was born in Massachusetts. Her father worked as an accountant at the local Berkshire Museum, where art was displayed with natural history. He encouraged his daughter’s early interests in art, nature and anthropology — interests which endured for the rest of her life. After graduating from Vassar College with a degree in English Literature, Graves attended Yale University, where she earned both a B.A. and an M.A. in Art, studying alongside Chuck Close, Robert Mangold and Brice Marsden. Following Yale, she won a prestigious Fulbright Scholarship in 1964, and began studying painting in Paris — where she also married sculptor Richard Serra, whom she had met at Yale (and from whom she would divorce in 1970). Moving on to Florence soon after, she would live a somewhat nomadic life, spending time in countries that included Morocco, Kashmir, India, Egypt, Peru, Australia and Canada. From a point of view that she described as “objective,” Graves transformed scientific sources, such as maps and diagrams, into artworks by re-producing their complex visual information in detailed paintings and drawings. Investigating the intersections between art and scientific disciplines, Graves created compelling, formally rigorous, yet ultimately expressive works of art that examine concepts of repetition, variation, verisimilitude, and the presentation and perception of visual information. Based in SoHo, New York, Graves gained prominence in the late 1960s as a post-Minimalist artist for innovative camel, fossil, totem, and bone sculptures that were hand formed and assembled from unusual materials such as fur, burlap, canvas, plaster, latex, wax, steel, fiberglass and wood. Made in reaction to Pop and Minimalism, these works reference archaeological sites, anthropology, and natural science displays. Suspended from the ceiling or clustered directly on the floor, these early sculptures also engage with Conceptualist ideas of display. For her Whitney Museum presentation Graves exhibited three seemingly realistic sculptures of camels in an installation that evoked taxidermy specimens and questioned issues of verisimilitude in art and science, particularly in light of their hand patched and painted fur surfaces. The exhibition elicited wide spread critical responses and established her artistic significance. After intensely engaging with sculpture in the early 1970s, Graves returned to painting. Her detailed pointillist canvasses re-produced — in paint — images culled from documentary nature photographs, NASA satellite recordings, and Lunar maps...

Coffee + Cigarettes, Lithograph on Newsprint Grey Somerset Signed Edition of 10
Located in New York, NY
This is a super rare and imaginative print - LAST ONE - from the edition of only 10  (TEN) - and it makes an amazing gift!  Paul Leibow Coffee + Cigarettes, 2019 Lithograph on Newsprint Grey Somerset Velvet Printed at Tamarind Institute. Hand printed by Elena Carrasco under the supervision of Master Printer Brandon Gunn Pencil signed and numbered lower right from the edition of only 10 Bears Tamarind Institute chop mark lower left Accompanied by copy of detailed Tamarind documentation sheet Measurements: 28.25" (vertical) x 22" (horizontal) Unframed Critic Tris Mccall writes in a recent review: "Felix the Cat is older than Mickey. He was created over a century ago, and he's been fading in plain view ever since sound was added to motion pictures. But in his Gilded Age prime, Felix was incredibly popular: famous enough to leave a burn mark in his image on the collective imagination. The spirit of the Cat retains enough psychic power to guide the hand of at least one contemporary artist - painter and sculptor Paul Leibow... This playful, irreverent work uses the figure of Felix, or what's left of him, to comment on sexuality, decay and reassembly, mechanical reproduction and corporate branding, and the ubiquity and ambiguity of the commercialized image..." Lithograph with image concept invention of a non existent character: Feel licks ears over ads of vintage comics, creating a unique abstract work, including ghosted figures and cigarettes and coffee falling from an imagined earthquake. The attempt was to use a series from vintage characters that inform the piece, with a body inside the Feel Licks cat face structure. Includes a brain W-ray with lamb faces as a surreal interplay. 6-color print, derived from the artist Mark Rothko in a blend roll or orange and red hue. Limited edition print, signed recto from the edition of only 10 PAUL LEIBOW BIOGRAPHY Paul Leibow works in painting, sculpture, mixed media, and film. A documentary art video about his archival process was selected for the Metropolitan Museum of Arts (a program for art on film). Over his art career, his work has been selected for art books and exhibitions by curators from the Whitney Museum and Met. Leibow has created artworks for recording artist Bruce Springsteen for his world tour, including books, and branded icons/logos utilized for his concerts. 2019 awarded an art residency at Tamarind Institute New Mexico, with two editions archived in the New Mexico Art Museum (UNM). 2020 artworks featured in ArtMaze Magazine’s Winter Issue 16.
