About the Item

UV Print on 3 Layer Perspex, 5 Colors, with Gold Foil Year: 2019 Signed, dated, titled and inscribed on label Size: 16.4 × 16.4 inches Framed - white, wooden frame COA provided Born in London (August 23, 1970), Ben Eine is one of the most successful letterform artists in the world and is regarded as a pioneer in the exploration of contemporary typography art. Originally a graffiti writer, Eine started his career over 30 years ago, leaving his first tag all over London before developing his distinct typographic style. Eine began painting huge, bright and colourful letters on shutters all over East London, creating beautiful forms executed with a relentless “graffiti mentality” – painting over sixty shutters in a couple of months. These imposing and engaging, yet unattributed, anonymously-painted letters stood out from the usual tags and dubs seen on the streets. They caught the public’s attention and were seminal in the rise of street art’s popularity. Eine’s partnership with the, then emerging, London graffiti artist Banksy was hugely influential to the commercial success of both artists. In 2003 The pair set up the famous Pictures on Walls gallery, with a loose collective of other artists, in order to print and sell street art. POW was established in the spirit of Punk’s DIY movement because, as Eine recalls; “There wasn’t one gallery in London or the world that would touch what we were doing”. Eine’s international acclaim was further heightened when the UK Prime Minister David Cameron gifted his ‘Twenty First Century City’ artwork to President Obama in 2010. His work is now held in the permanent collections of the V&A Museum London, The Museum of Modern Art Los Angeles, San Francisco’s Museum of Contemporary Art, Berlin’s Urban Nation Street Art Museum, Los Angeles ‘Beyond The Streets’ and The Dean Collection as well as the private collection of Louis Vuitton and numerous other commercial institutions. Fashion has always been a love of Eine’s. He enjoys an on-going collaboration with Louis Vuitton as well as his own clothing brand, Eine London, which was launched with great success at London Fashion Week 2018. Eine’s painted shop shutters and murals can still be found all over the world. His distinctive letters continue to spell words and phrases across walls from London to LA, Florence to Tokyo. He continues to use street art to engage and surprise the public. In 2018 Eine unveiled the largest street art work in the world; the ‘CREATE’ mural – a 17500 square foot artwork painted on industrial ground in East London that is visible from space.

    Located in Zug, CH
    Andy Warhol Christmas Boot 2003 Enamel on porcelain 20 × 20 × 7 cm (7.9 × 7.9 × 2.8 in) Signed in glaze, numbered on the reverse. In wooden box, accompained by certificate from the Rosenthal Studio Edition of 99 In mint condition Although best known for his silkscreens, Andy Warhol was also an excellent draughtsman and drawing was a constant part of his artistic practice. Warhol’s big break stemmed from an assignment to illustrate shoes for a feature in Glamour magazine in 1950. Impressed by his sketches, the magazine awarded him six additional pages and mistakenly credited “Drawings by Warhol”, a misprint that lead young Andy to drop the “a” from his last name - the American artist was born Andrew Warhola in 1928. A pivotal turning point in Warhol’s career was his position as an illustrator for the popular shoe manufacturer I. Miller, who hired the young artist to created campaign advertisement for the Sunday edition of the New York Times. These bold and colourful visual depictions often incorporated painting, drawing, collage and text. These advertisements eradicated the barrier between illustrated and fine art. In 1956 Warhol began a series of fantasy footwear conveyed the personalities of figures he admired, including fashionable socialites and magazine editors, as well as actors, actresses and authors. Much like Warhol’s successive works, these early shoe collages represent the beginning of the artist’s fascination with fame and his focus on celebrity as subject matter. As confessed fan of Christmas, Warhol took up this theme and also drew imaginative, cheerful ironic 'Christmas Shoes...
