About the Item

Artist: Richard Merkin (American, 1938-2009) Title: "Oedipus and Luxor" *Signed by Merkin in pencil lower right Circa: 1980 Medium: Original Screenprint on white Arches 88 paper Limited edition: 260, (the number may differ from what is shown in the photos) Printer: Brand X Editions, New York, NY Publisher: likely either the artist Merkin himself or Brand X Editions, New York, NY Sheet size: 30" x 37.5" Image size: 24.25" x 32.25" Condition: Never framed, has been professionally stored away for decades. In excellent condition Notes: Numbered by Merkin in pencil lower left. Brand X Editions chop mark/blind stamp lower right. Arches 88 France watermark lower left. Biography: Richard Merkin’s (1938 – September 5, 2009) work conjures up scenes that evoke the raucous spirit of the 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s. In his witty, often eccentric illustrations, Merkin depicts movie stars, jazz musicians, sports heroes and literary impresarios co-mingling with more personal references. In his highly stylized approach to the figure, Merkin privileges color relationships, balance and juxtaposition over strictly literal descriptions of his subjects. And humor; there’s always humor.
