About the Item

Paul Sarkisian (1928-) 1971 Brown Landscape Lithograph Silkscreen Print on calendred BFK Rives fine art paper. small edition of 15 from Tamarind print workshop with their blindstamp. Hand signed and numbered. Paul Sarkisian (1928-) is an American artist who made significant contributions during the growth of contemporary art in Los Angeles, then later gained international recognition as a leading photorealist painter. Sarkisian’s work has been exhibited in many of the world's most important museums and public venues, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, DOCUMENTA, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, The Carnegie Institute, The Chicago Arts Club, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Smithsonian Institution... and many others. Sarkisian was among the few artists to exhibit in all major venues overseen by pioneering curator Walter Hopps during his seminal Los Angeles period. These include The Syndell Studio in 1954, Action Painting 1 (Merry-Go-Round-Show) in 1955, Action Painting 2 (Action Squared) in 1956, The Ferus Gallery in 1957 and The Pasadena Art Museum in 1961, 63 and 68. Sarkisian’s work has undergone numerous and sweeping stylistic changes, from the Abstract Expressionist canvases he exhibited at the Ferus Gallery in the 1950's, to the vivid surrealistic nudes he produced in the 1960's, to trompe l’oeil and minimalist paintings of the 1980's and 90's. In 1969 he began work on a series of Photorealist paintings depicting full-scale storefront and house facades. These monumental black-and-white canvases helped to establish Sarkisian's reputation as a leading New-Realist painter during the movement's heyday in the 1970's and 80’s. Throughout this period Sarkisian often exhibited with a core group of painters associated with the era, such as Chuck Close, Ralph Goings and Richard Estes. In the 1990’s Sarkisian changed style once again to produce large-scale structural paintings incorporating shaped panels, tinted resin and industrial enamel. Paul Sarkisian studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Otis Art Institute and Mexico City College. A fixture of the Los Angles art scene of the 1950s and ’60s he moved with his wife Carol and son Peter to Cerrillos, New Mexico in 1971, shortly after an invitation to create a portfolio of prints at the Tamarind Institute. They published Garo Antreasian, Ruth Asawa, Squeak Carnwath, Richard Diebenkorn, Walton Ford, William Kentridge, Ed Ruscha, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Kiki Smith and Donald Sultan. His career is marked by many stylistic changes as he has worked as an abstract expressionist, photo realist, and minimalist painter over his seventy-year career as an artist."Yellow, Executed at Anderson Ranch with Peter Catanzaro" This piece was executed with Styria Studio during the 1980s and bears the hallmarks of the bright colors of that period seen in the works of Ettore Sottsass, Peter Shire and the Memphis Milano artists.
