About the Item

Philip Pearlstein The Complete Paintings, 1984 Hardback monograph with dust jacket Hand signed, dated and inscribed to Nadine by Philip Pearlstein 12 × 10 1/2 × 1 3/4 inches This illustrated 1984 hardback monograph with dust jacket was hand signed for Nadine at the Betty Cuningham Gallery exhibition "Pearlstein New Work" on February 21, 2013. Book information: Publisher: ALPINE FINE ARTS COLLECTION, LTD, New York, 1984 Hardback: 372 pages with 120 full color and over 500 black and white illustrations Publisher's blurb: Philip Pearlstein grew out of Abstract Expressionism to become one of the most important and innovative artists of the contemporary Realist school. Born in 1924, he studied art at the Carnegie Institute of Technology and received his Masters in art history at New York University. Since the early 1960's he has been constantly developing and refining his style, devoting himself to a truer, more accurate depiction of his subject matter. Twenty years after his switch to realism, one finds Pearlstein more effective than ever, and also more influential. His works can be seen in most of the nation's major museums as well as many of the smaller, regional collections. Pearlstein has long been an advocate of the rights of artists, especially inn matters of copyright and reproduction. He has been a member of numerous panels and committees discussing these issues as well as the importance of realist art in general. Pearlstein's bold honesty, devotion to his artistic principles, and his dedication to the teaching of younger artists have all earned him a place in the history of art. In 1983-1984, the Milwaukee Art Museum travelled the first major retrospective of Pearlstein's works. Philip Pearlstein includes a text by Russell Bowman, curator of the exhibition, and introduction by Hilton Kramer, former art critic for The New York Times, an essay by art critic Irving Sandler, as well as a complete photographic listing of all known oil paintings by Pearlstein. An important, scholarly book, the definitive text, the 120 full color and over 500 black and white illustrations and the artistic relevance make Philip Pearlstein a major work to anyone interested in contemporary art. More about Philip Pearlstein: Philip Pearlstein was born in Pittsburgh, PA, in 1924. In 1941, his junior year in high school, he received his first recognition when awarded first and third prizes in Scholastic Magazine’s 14th National High School Art Exhibition. Upon graduation from high school in 1942, he enrolled in the Carnegie Institute of Technology but the draft limited his attendance to one year. After discharge from the army in 1946, he returned to Carnegie Tech where he received his BFA in 1949. Upon graduation, he moved to New York City where he pursued work in graphic design and received a Master’s degree in art history from New York University in 1955. Pearlstein worked as a graphic designer for Life Magazine before becoming an instructor at the Pratt Institute, and then a professor at Brooklyn College; he has also served as a visiting artist at several prestigious institutions throughout the country. His work has been exhibited in several solo exhibitions throughout the United States with paintings in the collections of over 70 public art museums. Pearlstein served as a President of the American Academy of Arts and Letters from 2003-2006 and currently lives and works in New York. “It is what is painted between the outlines that makes the difference between merely competent painting and really meaningful art.”

"Kate Moss. Boyfriends Underpants" Photography 50x40 in Ed. of 20 by Kate Garner Hahnemuhle fine art archival paper Not framed. Ships rolled in tube. Kate Garner: Seeker, Sage, and Preservationist of Identity A thoughtful selection of Kate Garner’s most pivotal work, showing the arc of identity, and her expression as one of the great masters of fine art photography today. In this collection of works, see rare and seldom viewed images of Kate Moss, Angelina Jolie, David Bowie, FKA Twigs, and more. Kate Garner evolved in the edgy pop-punk heyday of 1980’s London. By the time she was in her early 20s, she was well on her way to becoming one of the most enigmatic fine art photographers of our time. But it didn’t start that way. Until Kate was 19, she had spent most of her time in a tough mining town in the north of England. It was a practical place with practical people that studied practical vocations and couldn't afford to let themselves dream too much. Growing up, Kate had expected a similar existence, but it was never what she had envisioned. Like much of her class, she attended formal trade education at the local vocational college after graduating secondary school and spending a year hitch-hiking from England, through Europe, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan to India Garner came back from India and started to study commercial photography, and in Northern England, that meant--pots and pans. But, Kate knew she was different and would often take herself down into the thriving metropolis of London to see and experience the vibrant Mecca of arts and creatives. Her creative path took a pivotal point when her wanderings introduced her to the Blitz Kids. The art students and teenage squatters took her in, and It wasn’t long before she began shooting the streets with London’s party scene artisans and gender-bending pioneers. Working with John Galliano, Stephen Jones, Boy George, and later even David Bowie--Kate became fully immersed in the New Romantic...

Venus by Rosie Emerson, hand painted silk screen, sexy portrait photography
By Rosie Emerson
Located in Dallas, TX
This piece is sold with a custom wood copper finish box frame, perfect for a contemporary setting. This gorgeous artwork on paper was created initially with a screen print base of the model, then Rosie hand finishes the work with a unique splash and painted composition. Some call them Unique Prints. The base image is only used 9 times Rosie Emerson, born in 1981, is a contemporary artist working almost exclusively on representing the female form. Emerson’s figures draw reference from archetypes old and new, from Artemis to the modern day super model, each solitary figure, an allegory of her own fantasy. Interested in surface, the interplay between photography and painting. Emerson’s works are playful constructs; Photography is used, not as a device for capturing reality but for creating romanticised optical illusions. Inspired by her love of theatre, performance, shrines and rituals, she uses lighting, costume, set and prop making, alongside printmaking and painting to create other worldly one off pieces. Her photography is inspired by both the drama of the baroque, and ethereal qualities of Pre Raphaelite works. Other important influences include late medieval and renaissance paintings, Japanese prints, and magical realist literature. Emerson’s screen...
