Hans Erni Prints and Multiples

Swiss, b. 1909

Hans Erni attended the Kunstgewerbeschule in Lucerne in 1927–28, which was followed by further stays in Paris and Berlin. In 1933–34, he joined the artist's group Abstraction-Création in Paris, where he also met artists like Hans Arp, Alexander Calder and Wassily Kandinsky. In the 1930–40s, Erni was very successful with fresco painting, a medium the artist deeply preferred because of its impact on society. In 1950, he created his first ceramic works and discovered lithography as another central technique of his future artistic output. In 1972, Erni set up his studio in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, but he continued to be active in Lucerne, where he was born and obtained personal museum spaces. He was awarded numerous prizes, including the UN Peace Medal Award. His works have been internationally exhibited, including shows in Chicago, New Delhi, Funabashi and Milan. Erni’s artistic output comprises, for instance, around 300 posters, numerous frescoes, around 200 illustrations for books, drawings and various designs for approximately 90 stamps.

Countryside - Lithograph by Hans Erni - 1960s
By Hans Erni
Located in Roma, IT
Countryside is a lithograph realized by Hans Erni, in the 1960s. Two men, seated side by side, probably refresh themselves in a moment of rest from work in the fields. 32x24 cm, no frame. Good conditions. Hans Erni (1909-2015) . He Undertook technical studies, but after his first encounter with art literature in 1927, he set out to study art in Lucerne. He studied in Berlin and Paris, where he had the opportunity to associate with artists who would mark his artistic evolution: Kandinsky, Mondrian, Brancusi, Calder and, in particular, Georges Braque and Picasso. The influence of the latter on his graphic trait was such as to earn him the nickname of Swiss Picasso. He followed a period of travel to Belgium, Italy and, in the late 1930s, London where he encountered abstract art. Here he frequented the painter Ben Nicholson and the sculptors Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth, among the leading exponents of English abstract art. From 1930 to 1934 he worked under the pseudonym François Grèque. He was one of the founders of the abstract art group Allianz. In 1950 he made his first pottery. In the 1950s he worked for UNESCO and the World Health Organization. For the Principality of Liechtenstein he designed two series of stamps: "Winter Olympics" and "Summer Olympics". He also produced other sets of stamps for the United Nations and the Swiss Post, as well as numerous portraits of celebrities, such as Albert Einstein. On December 23, 1976, the Hans Erni Foundation was established which promotes exhibitions, conferences and other cultural events. since 1981 the foundation has supported the "Panta rei...

Untitled Zwirner Gallery exhibition poster
By Yayoi Kusama
Located in New York, NY
Yayoi Kusama Offset lithograph poster, 2017 Published by David Zwirner Unframed, with original folds as issued (see photo) Gorgeous Yayoi Kusama offset lithograph poster published by David Zwirner Gallery for a 2018 exhibition. It has natural folds as it was folded in a square, but is otherwise in excellent condition and the folds will frame out This print originally accompanied the monograph "Yayoi Kusama: Festival of Life," published to accompany an exhibition held at David Zwirner, New York, 2017. It was printed in a limited, but unknown edition and has since sold out Yayoi Kusama Biography Yayoi Kusama's work has transcended two of the most important art movements of the second half of the twentieth century: Pop art and Minimalism. Her highly influential career spans paintings, performances, room-size presentations, outdoor sculptural installations, literary works, films, fashion, design, and interventions within existing architectural structures, which allude at once to microscopic and macroscopic universes. Born in 1929 in Matsumoto, Japan, Kusama’s work has been featured widely in both solo and group presentations. She presented her first solo show in her native Japan in 1952. In the mid-1960s, she established herself in New York as an important avant-garde artist by staging groundbreaking and influential happenings, events, and exhibitions. Her work gained renewed widespread recognition in the late 1980s following a number of international solo exhibitions, including shows at the Center for International Contemporary Arts, New York, and the Museum of Modern Art, Oxford, both of which took place in 1989. She represented Japan in 1993 at the 45th Venice Biennale, to much critical acclaim. In 1998, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, co-organized Love Forever: Yayoi Kusama, 1958–1968, which toured to the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (1998-1999), and Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo (1999). More recently, in 2011 to 2012, her work was the subject of a large-scale retrospective that traveled to the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Tate Modern, London; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. From 2012 through 2015, three major museum solo presentations of the artist’s work simultaneously traveled to major museums throughout Japan, Asia, and Central and South America. In 2015, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk, Denmark, organized a comprehensive overview of Kusama’s practice that traveled to Henie-Onstad Kunstsenter, Høvikodden, Norway; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; and Helsinki Art Museum. In 2017-2019, a major survey of the artist’s work, Infinity Mirrors, was presented at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; Seattle Art Museum; The Broad, Los Angeles; Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; The Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio; and the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia. Yayoi Kusama: Life Is the Heart of the Rainbow, which marked the first large-scale exhibition of Kusama’s work presented in Southeast Asia, opened at the National Gallery of Singapore in 2017 and traveled to the Queensland Art Gallery Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, Australia and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nusantara, Jakarta. In 2019, All About Love Speaks Forever, an exhibition "tailor-made" specifically for the Fosun Foundation, Shanghai included more than 40 works by the artist. A comprehensive retrospective of the artist’s work was on view at Gropius Bau, Berlin in 2021, and traveled to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 2022. KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature...
