James CrawfordJames Crawford "Pile Series" 6 Silkscreen Signed Numbered1970's
1970's
About the Item
"Pile Series" was completed during the 1970s. It has a tongue-in-cheek affect as all the prints are photographs of stacks, or "piles", of industrial construction items silkscreened on cardboard giving these building materials a more aesthetic value. These silkscreens are mentioned and one is pictured in the famous, "Kick Out the Jams: Detroit Cass Corridor 1963 - 1977" iconic publication by the Detroit Institute of Arts regarding Detroit's Cass Corridor Artists. They are all signed and numbered.
James Alan Crawford was born in 1944 in Hillsdale, Michigan. He studied art for two years at Michigan State University before transferring to Wayne State University and graduating there. He received his MFA in 1969 while being mentored by John Egner and Aris Koutroulis. He was a pioneer of Detroit's Cass Corridor Art Movement that spanned the 1960's and 1970's. Crawford would serve as the visual arts coordinator at the Michigan Council for the Arts from 1970 to 1992. Crawford's work spans nearly every possible medium and has a quiet intellectualism in its themes, set against the backdrop of the uncertain urban landscape. While the Cass Corridor era of Detroit's art has come and gone, Crawford's work has been at the forefront at interest in its revival.

- "Banco (Ground Rules)", Aquatint Collage, Signed and Numbered by the ArtistBy Robert RauschenbergLocated in Detroit, MI"Banco", an aquatint from Robert Rauschenberg' s "Ground Rules" series is an exemplary piece where the window moldings become a metaphor for the formal role it plays in anchoring it into a simple, legible grid. A vivid palette with brilliant, translucent greens, blues, and oranges render discrete patches and the clarity of the printing seems more firmly "grounded" than the photographs in their grids. There is a recurrence of artistically self-referential motifs like the central white rectangle with a sign, YOUR NAME HERE, superimposed over the window rather obliquely. In the window of "Banco" reflections become opacities that destroy its translucency, bring back the surface; and across that surface, scraps of imagery drift, bringing back, in turn through their transparency, the illusion of depth. The sheet itself is 41 5/16 x 27 9/16" (105 x 70 cm). This is number 32 from an edition of 44 and has been numbered and signed by the artist. Robert Rauschenberg, the irrepressibly prolific American artist, is known as the one who time and again reshaped art in the 20th century. He was a painter, photographer, printmaker, choreographer, onstage performer, and set designer. In later years, it is said, he was even a composer. He defied the traditional idea that an artist must stick to one medium or style. He pushed, prodded and sometimes reconceived all the mediums in which he worked. Similar to the artists, Marcel Duchamp, Kurt Schwitters, Joseph Cornell, John Cage and others, Rauschenberg helped obscure the lines between painting and sculpture, painting and photography, photography and printmaking, sculpture and photography, sculpture and dance, sculpture and technology, technology and performance art. Per the art critic, Jerry Saltz: Rauschenberg invented a new form called the combine. It was not quite a painting nor was it considered sculpture. For Rauschenberg, though, it was like discovering fire it so transformed his art. He used bedding, doors, parachutes, a tire, a stuffed goat and combined them into new forms. One combine, Monogram, features a stuffed goat encircled by a tire atop a horizontal painting. Saltz says, “Rauschenberg is a mischievous Satyr grazing on art history, or the goat is a gargoyle protecting the art. Either way, the title suggests that Rauschenberg was leaving his mark.” And leave his mark he did. He became known as the giant of American Art. Jasper Johns, his sometime lover, said, “Rauschenberg was the man who in this century invented the most since Picasso.” Rauschenberg (October 22, 1925 – May 12, 2008) was an American painter and graphic artist whose early works anticipated the Pop art movement. He received numerous awards during his nearly 60-year artistic career. Among the most prominent were the International Grand Prize in Painting at the 32nd Venice Biennale in 1964 and the National Medal of Arts in 1993. He lived and worked in New York City and on Captiva Island, Florida, At 18, Rauschenberg was admitted to the University of Texas at Austin where he began studying pharmacology, but he dropped out shortly after due to the difficulty of the coursework—not realizing at this point that he is dyslexic—and his unwillingness to dissect a frog in biology class. He was drafted into the United States Navy in 1944. Based in California, he served as a neuropsychiatric technician in a Navy hospital until his discharge in 1945 or 1946. Rauschenberg subsequently studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Académie Julian in Paris, France, where he met fellow art student Susan Weil...Category
