“The Parakeet” Woodcut by Michael Rothenstein, Circa 1984
About the Item
A very nice example of Michael Rothenstein’s vibrant art, this woodcut print entitled “The Parakeet” is signed and numbered 1 of 35 and has an excellent provenance taped to the back, indicating that it was exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition of 1984 and sold from there. The parakeet is depicted in a hanging picture within the print, top centre, and the image includes traffic lights, a standing woman and facing heads at the bottom right. The colour scheme is a striking mix of black, white, red, orange and blue, and it has an attractive and complementary white wooden frame. This good size piece is one of his nicest and will make a stunning addition to the wall of any home, particularly one with a mid century modern interior.
Michael Rothenstein (1908 to 1993) became one of the most experimental printmakers in Britain during the 1950s and ’60s. He was elected as a full Royal Academician in 1983 in the category of Printmaker and as a Senior Academician the following year. The documents on the back include the original exhibit number label, the list of exhibits from Gallery X where it was included, the sales ticket from the exhibition, and a signed note from the artist at the point of sale.
Dating to the early 1980s, this is made of paper with a glazed wood frame and originates from England.

- Michael Kenny Preparatory Sketch from the Serpentine ShowBy Michael Kenny RALocated in London, GBStudy for a man seated sculpture Michael Kenny RA Original Artist: Michael Kenny RA (1941-1999) Chalk numbers on verso Born in Liverpool 1941, he son of an engineer. Studied at Liverpool art school, alongside Stuart Sutcliffe (an early Beatle) and John Lennon. He then went onto Slade in 1961 to study under Reg Butler, who nicknamed his protege "the Liverpool Italian". His distinguished career began when exhibited in Oxford in 1964. Michael was one of the most influential British sculptors of his generation and his contemplative geometric stone works became increasingly well regarded. He was elected associate member of the Royal Academy in 1976 and a Royal Academician in 1986. Today his work is held in museums all over the world including the British Museum, The Tate Gallery and the V&A in London. He has had solo shows in Germany, Sweden, Milan, Paris, Los Angeles, London, Japan and Dubai. Subsequently many corporations and private collectors throughout the world hold examples of his work. On Michael Kenny's gravestone in Highgate cemetery is the title of one of his sculptures, More Loved Than Known. The legend has been prophetic. He has a passionate following among the thousands of students he taught, who include Antony Gormley and Damien Hurst. Michael Kenny: Sculpture & Drawings This was an exhibition of Michael Kenny’s recent sculptures and drawings, from 1975 to 1977. Kenny (1941-1999) first studied in his home city of Liverpool before moving to London to continue his studies at the Slade. Following a successful international career, he was appointed a Royal Academician in 1986, and in 1997, two years before his death, he had a solo exhibition at the Royal Academy. Several of the sculptures in this Serpentine exhibition derived from his earliest pre-occupation, the human figure. In the works displayed, Kenny took particular inspiration from the female figure, lying or sitting, occupying, and informing an intimate space. We can see the workings of the Artist and possible preparatory sketch for the included sculpture in the following images. Michael Kenny was a sculptor and a painter, a prolific draughtsman and a print-maker. His early sculptures are dramatic, dealing with the isolation and loneliness of the individual. In later years, he worked mainly in stone in a quest for a sculpture that is simple in form and rich in meaning. With over 60 illustrations and key excerpts from the sculptor's own notebooks, this book provides the first opportunity to examine in detail the progress of Michael Kenny's career.
