About the Item

Artist: John Currin (1962) Title: The Jackass (Clambake) Year: 2006 Medium: Lithograph on wove paper Edition: 35/50, plus proofs. Size: 16.5 x 11.7 inches Condition: Excellent Inscription: Signed, dated, and numbered by the artist. Notes: Co-published by the Serpentine Gallery and Other Criteria, London. From the portfolio, ‘The Darkest Hour There May Be Light’. JOHN CURRIN (1962) is an American painter based in New York City. He is best known for satirical figurative paintings which deal with provocative sexual and social themes in a technically skillful manner. His work shows a wide range of influences, including sources as diverse as the Renaissance, popular culture magazines, and contemporary fashion models. He often distorts or exaggerates the erotic forms of the female body, and has stressed that his characters are reflections of himself rather than inspired by real people. "His technical skills", Calvin Tomkins has written, "which include elements of Old Master paint application and high-Mannerist composition, have been put to use on some of the most seductive and rivetingly weird figure paintings of our era."

What I Remember
By Sarah Hadley
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This image is printed in an edition of 7, but comes in larger and smaller sizes. Each image is printed on archival paper, signed and numbered. Statement: This image of What I Remember is from Sarah Hadley's series Story Lines, which explores the female interior landscape. The series was inspired by the French New Wave films of the 60’s, which were shot in black and white on the street and which often portrayed the subconscious thoughts and feelings of ordinary women.
