Eight Artworks - Suite of Phototypes on Paper by J. Lurçat - 1030s

1930s

About the Item

Eight Artworks is an original artwork realized by Jean Lurçat in the 1930s. Phototypes on paper. The artwork includes eight sheets realized by the artist and published by Jean Bucher, Paris, and printed by Duval in 1933. The phototypes and the cover are in good conditions. The back cover presents two rips on the lower margin. The eight artworks represent eight different black and white compositions. The phototypes were printed from eight original drawings. Edition of 500 prints. The first eight prints are numbered in pencil by the artist from 1 to 8, and they include the original drawings. The first sheet presents the index with the different titles of the artworks: 1. noblesse européennes 2. le seigneur individu 3. la lyre 1932 4. derniers monuments aux victimes de l'idéalisme 5. s.o.s. 6. le radeau de la méduse 7. après ça on recommence 8. une étoile sans étable. The technique of these artworks is very precious and rare: it is a "Phototype", a particular kind of artisanal print created in 1879 by Karel Klic and used until World War I. This technique can admit maximum 500 prints. Jean Lurçat (Bruyères, 1892 – Saint-Paul-de-Vence, 1966) was a French painter. He is the reinvented modern tapestry and produced tapestry cartoons.

  • Beautiful Bath , No. 23 1996 by Karl Gerich of Bath - Playing Card Proof Print
    Located in Meinisberg, CH
    Karl Alexander Gerich (English, 23.4.1956 - 4.1.2016) Beautiful Bath No. 23, 1996 - Etching - Sheet ca. 29.9 x 29.9 cm - No plate mark (trimmed sheet) This pack is said to be Karl’s declaration of Love to his chosen city of Bath. Each card narrates a part of Bath’s rich history. The court cards depict portraits of personalities – real and legendary – who shaped the city of Bath as it is today. Ufinished, proof print with depictions of the court cards of diamonds and clubs, but an empty cartouche where Karl himself will appear at a later state as the joker, playing mandolin. On one of the documenting photos you can see a photo copy of what the joker card would look like. Sheet is in good condition and suitable to be framed. Karl was a brilliant playing card maker and certainly one of the most genius artist-craftsmen I had the pleasure to learn about his work and know. He could do it all: Come up with the tale, weave meaning(s) into it, fill it with spirited characters of his liking, draw it, etch it, print it, colour it and handcraft the inks, paper and card into wondersome packs of playing cards, each of them living in their own, most exquisitely crafted boxes. Every pack a magical marvel, filled with the spirit of this genius card maker … All this he did using his Adana printing press, very simple hand tools and great skill. When Karl closed down his studio in St.Peter’s Terrace in Bath, England and moved to Poplar Close, he sold off work for which he felt he no longer wanted to be the custodian. So a number of prints reached the market then. Printed sheets by Karl Gerich...
