Marc Foster Grant “Tunnel Road”, Abstract Expressionist Mixed-Media, 1999

About the Item

A 1999 abstract expressionist mixed-media painting on paper titled “Tunnel Road” in original complementary custom frame by celebrated San Francisco Bay Area artist and fashion designer Marc Foster Grant. A very atypical work by the artist, with a deceptively complex multi-layered composition comprised of watercolor, ink, and paint. Mastery of mediums and techniques are on engaging display throughout, and reward closer examination. Titled, signed, and dated in pencil along bottom. Original black painted wood frame with asymmetrical silver pinstriping. White mat under glass. Affixed to the back is a postcard advertising a November 2007 show titled “Double Dip” by Foster Grant at the historic Claremont Hotel, located at 41 Tunnel Road in the artist’s hometown of Berkeley, California. Overall dimensions are listed below. Sight is H 29 in. x W 20.63 in. After a number of bi-costal exhibitions and awards in the late 1960s, Marc Foster Grant taught silk screening classes in San Francisco, worked at Museum West (an arm of the New York Museum of Contemporary Crafts), became display director at hugely influential furniture and design store Design Research International (D/R), and did silk screening at Marimekko Oy. The artist made a name for himself in 1969 when his silk screened fabric work titled “Hair Cut? Yes, Please!”—done in collaboration with Michael Yates—was purchased by the Victoria & Albert Museum for their permanent collection, and was later one of 370 pieces selected for the V&A’s Centennial Retrospective. In the 1970s, Foster Grant and his wife opened “Jeanne-Marc”, a fashion shop in San Francisco’s North Beach that had their sportswear collection carried by high-end specialty stores of the time. In 1991, Marc and Jeanne were elected to the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and in 1992 they won the Absolute Vodka Golden Shears Award for Fashion Design.
