About the Item

Juan Genovés Candel (Spanish, 1930-) Painter, illustrator, and graphic printmaker engraver. He painted 'El abrazo' ('the embrace'), which became an emblematic poster during the Spanish political transition. He was born in Valencia in 1930. The son of Juan Genovés Cubells, an artisan whose family was close to the labor movement. His mother Maria Candel Muñoz came from a family of practicing Catholics. In 1946 Genovés studied at the Escuela de Bellas Artes de San Carlos in Valencia and then settled in Madrid. He set up the 'Los Siete' group together with other artists in 1949, and the following year he travelled to Madrid, where he was influenced by the works by Fra Angélico and Hieronymus Bosch in the Prado Museum. In 1957 he had his first solo exhibitions in the gallery Alfil, Madrid and in the Museo d'Arte Moderna, Havana. He is considered the most important representative of modern Spanish painting. His images, executed in a politically engaged, critical realism, were a direct response to the fascist violence of the late Franco Regime. Recognized for an aesthetic style rooted in Social Realism and Pop art, The artist's themes included arrests, manhunts, torture and murder scenes, with the victims confronted in an anonymous crowd with their equally faceless henchmen. He used stencils and spray guns for the hunted individuals that he portrayed in an "ants-like hustle and bustle." The work of the artist is represented in numerous museum collections, his work is represented by the Marlborough galleries and regularly exhibited in London, New York, Rome, Barcelona, ​​Madrid, Paris and Monaco, as well as at international art fairs. Genovés’ work is found in many of the most important public collections in the United States and Europe, including: The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; Centre National d’Art Contemporain, Paris, France; Galeria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna, Rome, Italy; The Museum of Modern Art, NY, The Guggenheim Museum, New York; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, Spain; Israel Museum, Jerusalem; IVAM, Valencia, Spain; Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique, Brussels, Belgium.

By James Rosenquist
Located in New York, NY

Characteristically surreal and graphic, Rainbow incorporates bold geometric forms with painterly washes of color and airbrush texture. Rosenquist's signature gleaming metallic chrome texture can be seen on an inverted fork behind the glass of a golden window. Paper 25.25 x 30.25 in. / 64 x 77 cm Image 17 x 21.5 in. / 43 x 54.5 cm Lithograph with screenprint on cream-coloured Hodgkinson handmade Wookey Hole paper. Edition of 75 with 8 color trial proofs: this impression 8/8. Signed and dated 1972 lower right in pencil; titled, numbered 8/8 and labeled Color Trial Proof lower left in pencil. This graphic, colorful scene is based on Rosenquist’s 1962 oil painting of the same name, collected in the Museum Ludwig in Cologne. The artist used real glass and wood to construct windows for the original painting – here, house siding is abstracted to bold, black horizontal lines, and the window glass is printed in dark gold ink. At the top of the composition, a window with shutters pushed open is colored in turquoise, with sharp black shadows. The left-hand window pane is shattered, and to the right, the outline of an oversized...

A scarce, historical Andy Warhol Pre-Pop illustration; highly collectible. Medium: Double-sided offset lithograph in colors, on wove paper, with full margins, before folding. Dimensions: 12 3/4 x 19 1/2 in. (32.4 x 49.5 cm) Good overall vintage condition. Minor signs of aging & handling. Well-preserved. Unsigned from an edition of unknown. Warhol Foundation annotations in pencil on one side. Provenance: The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, New York. Susan Sheehan Gallery, New York. Private Collection, New York. Literature: Kornbluth: Pre-Pop Warhol, no. 66, pp. 164-165. Further background: Warhol’s career began as a commercial illustrator on New York’s Madison Avenue in 1949, during the massive post-war economic boom. His arrival additionally coincided with an extensive change in the motivations and strategies behind advertising, utilizing applied psychology to influence American consumers to purchase products. This stint as an ad man would further his Pop interest in cultural commercialization and start his artistic career; thus began the first chapter of Warhol’s oeuvre. Several of Andy Warhol's earliest exhibitions in New York were at the Bodley during the 1950s, starting with two in 1956. _ Obsessed with celebrity, consumer culture, and mechanical reproduction, Pop Art king, Andy Warhol created some of the 20th century’s most iconic images. Warhol was widely influenced by popular & consumer culture, with this being evident in some of his most famous works: 32 Campbell's soup cans, Brillo pad box sculptures, and portraits of Marilyn Monroe & Mick Jagger, for example. Rejecting the standard painting and sculpting modes of his era, Warhol embraced silk-screen printmaking to achieve his characteristic hard edges and flat areas of color. The artist mentored Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat and continues to influence contemporary art around the world: His most bold successors include Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami, and Jeff Koons. Warhol has been the subject of exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of Modern Art, Tate Modern, and Centre Pompidou, among other institutions.
