1981 Roy Ahlgren “Big Sur” Op Art Serigraph

About the Item

Excellent serigraph by American Op Art artist Roy Ahlgren (1927 - 2011). This piece named "Big Sur" is signed, dated (1981) and numbered (22/150) by the artist in pencil. Overall size: 30" x 23" Image size: 26" x 19" Print itself is in excellent condition. Signs of wear on the back and side of the print which will easily cover up once you have your print framed. See pictures for details or reach out if you have any questions. Roy Ahlgren was born in 1927 in Erie, PA. He is a self-taught painter. In 1964 he began to work in op art and hard edge technique. He received more than 60 prizes, among them purchase awards from the Seattle Art Museum, Minot State College, Texas Tech University Museum, and the Mississippi Art Association. He exhibited in many national print shows. (from bio provided by the Associated American Artists, NY.) Roy Ahlgren entered the art world somewhat in reverse. While most artists start by recording realistic subjects and moving to abstract work later in their careers, Ahlgren began creating geometric abstract designs and continued to do so for 23 years. His media was both serigraphy and traditionally brushed pigment onto canvas. His compositions were unique with many being mathematically constructed with considerable precision.
