50.8 x 63.5 cm
Edition of 108
Signed and numbered by the artist.
This work is part of the Vera List Anniversary Print Portfolio, created in recognition of the exceptional legacy of philanthropist Vera List. It was the generosity of Vera and her husband Albert that enabled the founding of the Vera List Art Project at Lincoln Center in 1962, MIT's List Arts Center in 1982, and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School in 1992, among others. These institutions joined forces with Artspace and six internationally renowned artists to produce this print portfolio.
This print by Fred Wilson is comprised of a mashup of flags of Caribbean nations, presenting an idea about the relationships among the people of these cultures.
Fred Wilson is a conceptual artist of African-American and Caribbean descent who's primarily known for rearranging art and artifacts in museum collections to reveal the inherent racism and gender politics that are often overlooked. First gaining notoriety in the early '90s with the exhibition Mining the Museum, in which he placed a whipping post from pre-Civil War America in a gallery and surrounded it with four ornate chairs...

Richard Hirsch Encaustic Painting of Nothing #78, 2020
By Richard A. Hirsch
Located in New York, NY
Contemporary American ceramic artist Richard Hirsch's encaustic Painting of Nothing #78 is made of ceramic raw materials, dry pigment and wax. This piece is part of his ongoing Painting of Nothing Series. Hirsch applies the waxy mix with a brush onto redwood plywood backed structures with two-inch wood strips all around and used various torches to layer, flux, bubble and blend. "Waxy and very tactile, they are probably the work Mark Rothko would have done had he spent most of his life in clay. Hirsch’s paintings have the nuance, subtle texture, and color shifts that become evident in blown-up photographs of his ceramic objects as well as a similar presence." Signed and dated en verso by the artist. This painting ship directly from the artist’s studio in Rochester, NY.

Rosalyn Engelman XL Black and Gray Abstract Painting
By Rosalyn A. Engelman
Located in New York, NY
Stunning XL black and gray abstract painting from NYC artist Rosalyn Engelman (1938). This masterfully created oil on canvas exudes great energy in a stunning sea of black and gray and is part of her Nocturnes of the Soul series created in the late 90's. A companion piece of this was exhibited at the Salon Art + Design at the Park Avenue Armory in 2017.
Her influences include an expansive palette of artistic traditions, from the abstract expressionism for which she’s best known, to the Asian and Japanese art she focused on while at Rochester, to the Bauhaus tradition, which captured her attention as an undergraduate at City College in New York.
