1969
About the Item
A striking example of Ernest Tino Trova’s iconic Falling Man series, this 1969 serigraph captures the artist’s exploration of human form, repetition, and the tension between perfection and vulnerability. Trova, a major figure in American Pop‑Surrealism and contemporary sculpture, developed Falling Man as his lifelong conceptual project—an instantly recognizable motif highly sought after by collectors of mid‑century American art.
This vintage serigraph reflects the clean geometry and symbolic abstraction that define Trova’s most celebrated works.

Ernest Trova
In the early 1960s, St. Louis Sculptor Ernest Trova—who was entirely self-taught—began developing his pivotal theme of Falling Man, a stark and startling image that combines references to classical sculpture with an industrial aesthetic. In his Profile Canto series, Falling Man—depicted as an androgynous, mechanical figure—is folded and segmented as to be nearly undetectable amid the various geometric forms that comprise these works.
