Original Engraving by Arnaldo Pomodoro, signed and numbered, edition of fifteen

About the Item

Offered for sale is an extremely rare engraving by Italian modern and contemporary master Arnaldo Pomodoro, famed author of the well known discs, spheres and objects in bronze that unveil complex mechanical constructions underneath a seemingly plain surface. Throughout his whole career, the work of Pomodoro has focused on such intricate geometries which, while never depicting actual scenes, closely resemble industrial machinery and articulate mechanisms. He has been a prolific sculptor and painter, also measuring himself with architecture as he built the underground "Labyrinth" in Milano. The present engraving is, more specifically, a chalcography. The deep relief of the depiction gives it an appealing "threedimensional" feel, and makes for a very unique effect under direct or indirect light. It dates to 1976, and is part of a very strict edition of fifteen pieces, as the roman number "XV" indicates at the bottom left. The piece is number six (VI) in the series. It measures 30 by 40cm, and is professionally framed in a 58 by 44 cm white frame with glass. The engraving, as the frame, is in impeccable conditions.

Gene Davis Pencil Signed and Numbered Limited Edition Exhibition Poster
By Gene Davis
Located in Hudson, NY
This poster for an exhibition undertaken by the Smithsonian Institution and was produced as a Resident Associates Program Exhibit for the organizations 10th anniversary. The work is pencil signed and numbered 80 of 200. Davis was born in Washington DC in 1920 and died in the city he gave so much to in 1985. A major 20th-century figure in American painting Davis's contributions to Washington were invaluable in helping to establish DC as a center for contemporary art. Davis is also recognized as a prime mover in the national and international Color Abstract Movement and his ascendance to prominence started in the 1960s. He was never formally trained and learned his craft by constant gallery and museum visits and later said that this lack of boundaries from education freed him from any limitation on his work or process. Davis worked within the loosely formed Washington color school of painters which included other artists like Kenneth Nolan...
