About the Item

Tassel Hat is an expertly crafted, embossed serigraph on paper with foil stamping and an image size of 10.5 x 10 inches. From the edition of 650, the art is numbered 103/300 and estate-stamped 'Erté' lower right (there were also 300 Roman, and 50 AP). Framed in a classic 'reed and ribbon' gold-tone moulding. Erté’s twenty-two-year association with Harper’s Bazaar sparked the creation of innumerable fashion designs for some of the world’s most glamorous women. Among his many ingenious creations were designs for jewelry and fashion accessories. The true beauty of each of the images lies in their delicate simplicity and the originality of their design. The original designs for the serigraph suite ‘Fashion and Jewelry’ were created by Erté between 1922 and 1924, the same period in which he was heavily involved in designing costumes and stage sets for theater and opera in New York and Paris. Clearly infected by a sense of drama and playful eroticism, these images are a culmination of his involvement in these other art forms. A black hatpin is the focus in Tassel Hat, as it holds long strands of golden hair. Martin Lawrence Galleries is an affiliate of Erté's publisher Chalk & Vermilion Fine Arts. This print is therefore as new, with no prior ownership, coming straight from the publisher.
