April Gornik
Remember the Sabbath Day (The Fourth Commandment), 1987
2 Color Lithograph on Dieu Donne handmade paper with deckled edges
24 × 18 inches
Signed and numbered AP 12/15, aside from the regular edition of 84
Printed by James Miller and Maurice Sanchez at Derriere L'Etoile Studios
Unframed with deckled edges
This rare April Gornik print was created as part of the 1987 portfolio "The Ten Commandments", in which ten top Jewish American artists were each invited to choose an Old Testament commandment to interpret in contemporary lithographic form. This lithograph is in excellent condition; unframed. This is the first time it will have been removed from the original portfolio case. Lisa Liebmann, who wrote the introduction to the collection, observed: "...The image has, for most of us, replaced the word..." Liebmann refers to Gornik as one of the most "fundamental" of the artists, and with respect to the present work, she writes, "Judging from the appearance of all of her work over the last several years, Gornik is another Sabbath's Child, another unfashionable state during a period when people are more likely to brag about working overtime than complain about it. Her FOURTH COMMANDMENT, a "grisaille" seascape with limpid ocean, clouds that don't threaten and a trinity of rocks - is filled with the preternatural silence of her paintings, each of whose subject is a world of pure atmosphere, as if only inhabited by some afterimage of God..."
April Gornik Biography
April Gornik’s enigmatic landscapes draw on both plein-air realism and abstracted memories. In her paintings of sea, sky, forests, and horizons, the artist—who is based in Sag Harbor, New York—focuses on moments of transience and calm; her dramatic skyscapes, for example, alternately feature threatening thunderheads, magisterial clouds, and high-contrast sunrises and sunsets. Gornik received her BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, Canada, and has exhibited widely in cities including New York, Halifax, and Dayton, Ohio. Her work belongs to the collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and Whitney Museum of American Art, among other institutions. Through her imposing compositions, Gornik homes in on the mystery and power of American landscapes that are too often taken for granted.

View AllEd Ruscha Los Angeles Bicentennial: 200 Years Old Rare SIGNED & NUMBERED edition
By Ed Ruscha
Located in New York, NY
Ed Ruscha
200 Years Old, 1980
Offset lithograph
Hand signed and numbered 132/425 by Ed Ruscha in graphite pencil on the front
30 1/2 × 25 inches
Unframed
Bibliography:
ED RUSCHA: AN ARCHIVE OF PROJECTS, 2023, pg 149.
Publisher:
Haddad's Fine Arts, Inc., California, USA
This is a quintessential Los Angeles print - celebrating the 200th anniversary of the City of Angels; a wonderful, classic Ruscha image. It was commissioned by LA200 for the 1981 Los Angeles Bicentennial, and is based upon an original drawing that Ruscha created for the project. Ruscha's lifelong artistic preoccupation has been a thought-experiment on the theme of the decline of American civilization, so naturally Los Angeles would be represented as a sunset (not a sunrise); the image is also perhaps a subtle reference to Sunset Boulevard - a geographical location as well as the title of an iconic Hollywood movie.
This work is pencil signed and numbered from the limited edition of only 425. A must have for any Ruscha fans with a connection to this legendary West Coast city.
