About the Item

Robert Cottingham Blues, from the American Signs Portfolio (hand signed by Robert Cottingham), 2009 Screenprint in colors on wove paper Pencil signed, numbered 66/100, dated, and titled by Robert Cottingham on the front 38 1/4 × 36 7/8 inches Unframed From the American Signs Portfolio. Published by Greg Smith and Michael McKenzie at American Images Atelier. Pencil signed, numbered 66/100, dated, and titled by Robert Cottingham on the front. About Robert Cottingham: Robert Cottingham was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1935 and received his BFA degree from Pratt Institute, also in Brooklyn. Later, he studied at the Arts Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, and began his career as an advertising art director in Los Angeles. The Artist’s first easel paintings were of scenes outside his office window, in fact. Robert Cottingham later established himself in the early 1970’s among other renowned artists of his generation, such as Richard Estes and Chuck Close. Known for his photo-realistic depictions of signs, storefront marquees and railroad boxcars and letter forms, Cottingham does not consider himself a Photorealist artist. His imagery, derived from his own photography, expands on the photographic image instead of seeking to replicate it exactly. Cottingham’s later work has explored images derived from cameras, typewriters and machine parts he calls “components”. Forum Gallery introduced Robert Cottingham’s landmark, An American Alphabet, at his first exhibition with the gallery in 1996 and since presented five solo exhibitions for the Artist. A retrospective of Robert Cottingham’s print work was organized and exhibited by the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC in 1998. Robert Cottingham is represented in many important museum collections, including The Art Council of Great Britain in London, The Art Institute of Chicago in IL, Arkansas Art Center in Little Rock, The Baltimore Museum of Art in MD, The Birmingham Museum of Art in AL, The Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, PA, The Cincinnati Art Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Art in OH, The Delaware Art Museum in MD, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum of Art in New York, The High Museum of Art in Atlanta, GA, The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., The Hunter Museum of Art in Chattanooga, TN, the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art in CA, The Ludwig Collection in Cologne, Germany, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art in New York, The Tampa Museum of Art in FL, The Tate Gallery in London, The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT.

Don't Walk unique trial proof signed and inscribed by famed photorealist artist
By Robert Cottingham
Located in New York, NY
Robert Cottingham Don't Walk, 1985 Three color Linoleum Cut on Paper Pencil signed, inscribed to Bryan and annotated TP Published by Chip Elwell Fine Prints Trial Proof (unique) This is a Trial Proof that Robert Cottingham inscribed, annotated and gifted to Bryan Konefsky, his longtime studio assistant in both Newtown, CT and Santa Fe New Mexico. Only one other example - a variant - of this early print, exists and is in the collection of the Smithsonian. Due to the untimely death of printer Chip Elwell in October of 1986, only two proofs in the woodcut medium were pulled: the present work, which Cottingham gifted to his longtime studio assistant, and the one at the Smithsonian. Furthermore and in another interesting turn of events, Elwell's studio was burglarized shortly after his death and among the items stolen were the original wood blocks for DON'T WALK. This is an historic work; and the only one available on the market. Measurements: Framed: 15 inches x 13.5 inches x .3 inches Artwork 12 inches x 10.5 inches Robert Cottingham Biography Robert Cottingham (b.1935, Brooklyn, NY) is recognised for his Photorealist paintings of American urban landscapes, particularly his depictions of painted and neon shop signs...
