Faith Ringgold Art

American, 1930-2024

Prolific American artist Faith Ringgold long championed civil rights and women’s rights through her work, which spans media from oils to textiles. Over the course of her career, she received numerous accolades, including two National Endowment for the Arts awards, one each in sculpture and painting, a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship (1987) and more than 20 honorary doctorate degrees.

Born Faith Willi Jones in Harlem, New York, Ringgold grew up surrounded by creativity. She was raised by a fashion-designer mother and a minister father who was a talented storyteller during the peak of the Harlem Renaissance. She earned both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in visual art from the City College of New York, in 1955 and 1959, respectively.

In the 1960s, Ringgold’s paintings took a decidedly political bent, supporting the civil rights movement; she protested the lack of work by Black and female artists in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art, both in New York City. She also cofounded Where We At, a collective of Black female artists. By the 1970s, Ringgold had moved away from painting and on to textiles, sculpture and performance art.

Ringgold created masks of painted canvas inspired by wooden masks made by the Dan peoples of Liberia — also to promote the work of women in art — as well as acrylic works that combined the style of Tibetan thangkas, or silk paintings, with African quilting techniques. This led to her collaborating with her mother in the 1980s for the development of her iconic story quilts, for which Ringgold is perhaps best known.

Ringgold's work can be found in the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, all in New York, as well as the Baltimore Museum of Art and many more.

Rainbow: colorful Rosenquist pop art with gold, turquoise, purple, pink, blue

By James Rosenquist

Located in New York, NY

A classic Rosenquist pop art composition with gold, turquoise, purple, pink, blue, green and yellow. Characteristically surreal and graphic, Rainbow incorporates bold geometric forms with painterly washes of color and airbrush texture. Rosenquist's signature gleaming metallic chrome texture can be seen on an inverted fork behind the glass of a golden window. Paper 25.25 x 30.25 in. / 64 x 77 cm Image 17 x 21.5 in. / 43 x 54.5 cm Lithograph with screenprint on cream-coloured Hodgkinson handmade Wookey Hole paper. Edition of 75 with 8 color trial proofs: this impression 8/8. Signed and dated 1972 lower right in pencil; titled, numbered 8/8 and labeled Color Trial Proof lower left in pencil. This graphic, colorful scene is based on Rosenquist’s 1962 oil painting of the same name, collected in the Museum Ludwig in Cologne. The artist used real glass and wood to construct windows for the original painting – here, house siding is abstracted to bold, black horizontal lines, and the window glass is printed in dark gold ink. At the top of the composition, a window with shutters pushed open is colored in turquoise, with sharp black shadows. The left-hand window pane is shattered, and to the right, the outline of an oversized...

Shepard Fairey Obey Billboard (Consume) Screen print on thick Cream Speckletone Paper Year: 2008 Size: 24 x 18 inches (60.96 x 45.72 cm) Edition: 400 Signed by Shepard Fairey, dated and numbered by hand COA provided *Edition number may vary from the image shown. Shepard Fairey (American, b. 1970) Obey Billboard (Consume) is Shepard Fairey's most direct provocation — a single imperative word deployed with full awareness of its absurdity. By framing the command to consume within the context of fine art, Fairey collapses the distance between advertising and culture, inviting the viewer to sit with the irony of purchasing a print that critiques the act of purchasing. The work is sincere in its critique and self-aware in its contradictions, making it one of the more intellectually generous objects in Fairey's practice. Shepard Fairey (b. 1970) rose from the underground to international prominence through his "OBEY" campaign and his iconic 2008 "Hope" portrait. A printmaker, muralist, and activist, his work consistently exposes the mechanics of influence, consumerism, and power. Held in major public collections worldwide, including the Smithsonian and MoMA, Fairey remains one of the defining voices of contemporary street art.
