Cécile REIMS Art

French, 1927-2020
Cécile Reims (French, 1927–2020) Born in France in 1927, Cécile Reims joined the French Resistance during World War II and was later awarded the Legion of Honor for her service. In the years following the war, she turned her focus to the arts, becoming a master engraver known for her extraordinary precision and technical skill. Reims collaborated with major figures of the 20th century while also developing a deeply personal body of work. Her engravings often explore organic forms, cycles of life and decay, and the delicate interplay between the real and the surreal. Though she frequently worked in service of others’ visions, her own compositions reveal a singular imagination—one attuned to transformation, fragility, and the strange beauty of the natural world.

Study for a Monument in the Heroic/Erotic/Academic/Comic Style Claes Oldenburg

By Claes Oldenburg

Located in New York, NY

This sensuous and playful scene is characteristic of Oldenburg’s printmaking ouevre: a veritable heap of women displaying various expressions of ecstasy and repose. The loose sketches were drawn directly onto the plate by the artist, a master draftsman whose erotic etchings are largely unknown. The composition is based on the drawing: Clinical Study, Towards a Heroic-Erotic Monument in the Academic/Comic Style, 1965, ball-point pen on paper, 20 x 40 in. / 60 x 101.6 cm. *This print was etched in six gorgeous inks, each in an edition of ten: take your pick of color!* Oldenburg had an interest in imaginary monuments: he famously conceptualized works such as “Ball”, an unbuilt monument conceived of in 1967 which imagined two ballcocks – the round mechanism in a toilet tank...
