John Costigan
Signed Original Pastoral Etching by John E. Costigan

Circa 1930

About the Item

This original, limited edition etching, was realized by the esteemed American artist John E. Costigan, who is represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, the Philips Memorial Gallery in Washington and the Brooklyn Museum, to name only a few of the many institutions that feature his work. This print, with its highly considered composition and its loose style of figuration- deftly balances realism and abstraction- helps to explain his acclaim. The etching depicts a family in the field milking their cows. The father bends down to milk an utter, while the mother holds an infant in her arms. In the midground, the viewer sees the back of a young boy seated on a stump. This is a classic country scene rendered by one of the nation's great pastoral artists. High style deco is proud to offer three more etchings from this series. The entire suite can be purchased for $4475. This piece would be equally well suited hung individually or with the other works. Printed on archival paper. Signed bottom right. The pieces are in the original portfolio and have never been framed. Excellent condition. American, circa 1930 Dimensions: Sheet: 17.25" W X 12" H With matting: 18" W X 14" H.

  • Lopokovana and Niginski in "Les Sylphides" Colored Drypoint Signed Troy Kinney
    By Troy Kinney
    Located in New York, NY
    This refined etching and drypoint was realized by the esteemed American artist Troy Kinney in the United States circa 1920. The work features two dancing figures- a woman leaning against the male figure behind her, perhaps moments before being hurled into the air or spun in a graceful twirl. She dons a tutu and ballet slippers that are loosely and abstractly rendered against a white background. The gentleman sports a white shirt and black vest. Both of them have a shock of flaxen hair that offers a beautiful tonal complement to the textured muted jade background. With its refined color palate, clean modernist lines, and masterful handling of the medium, this piece would be a winning addition to any interior regardless of the style of interior. Given the artist's importance and placement within esteemed collections (private and institutional), this piece represents a winning acquisition for collectors of first rate modern art as well as exquisite objects. It comes presented in a custom gilded gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition. Troy Sylvanus Kinney (December 1, 1871 – January 29, 1938) was an American artist, best known for his compelling works portraying dance performers, fanciful subjects, and classically styled nudes...

  • Guggenheim (Black)
    By Richard Hamilton
    Located in London, GB
    Perspex form, vacuum formed acrylic and spray painted black, 1970, signed and dated verso, from the edition of 106, although an edition of 750 was planned it was not fully executed, published by xartcollection, Zurich, 59 x 59 x 9.8 cm. (23.2 x 23.2 x 3.9 in.) In 1970 British-Pop artist Richard Hamilton was invited to produce an edition of 750 small-scale multiples of the Guggenheim. The intention was to produce vacuum-form reliefs in Perspex and offset the costs of expensive molds by creating a large edition. In the end, the project proved more technically difficult than anticipated. Of the three colours (black, white and chrome), only a total of 271 were realised, 117 in white. The xartcollection was created in 1968 in Zurich, Switzerland by Sandro Bocola...
