Charley Harper
Charley Harper was a Cincinnati-based American modernist artist. He was best known for his highly stylized wildlife prints, posters and book illustrations.
Born in Frenchton, West Virginia, in 1922, Harper had an upbringing at his family farm, which influenced his work until his last days. He left his farm home to study art at the Art Academy of Cincinnati and won the academy's first Stephen H. Wilder Traveling Scholarship. While at the Academy and supposedly on the first day, Harper met fellow artist Edie Mckee, whom he married shortly after graduation in 1947. He and Edie spent their honeymoon traveling the country, mainly in the West and the South, being able to do so because of the Stephen H. Wilder Scholarship the Academy awarded to Harper for post-graduate travels.
Harper returned to the Art Academy of Cincinnati as a teacher and also worked for a commercial firm before working on his own. He and his wife worked out of their Roselawn and Finneytown homes and later, with their only child Brett Harper, formed Harper Studios.
During his career, Harper illustrated numerous books, notably The Golden Book of Biology, magazines such as Ford Times as well as many prints, posters and other works. As his subjects were mainly natural, with birds prominently featured, Harper often created works for many nature-based organizations like the National Park Service, Cincinnati Zoo, Cincinnati Nature Center, Hamilton County (Ohio) Park District and Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in Pennsylvania. He also designed interpretive displays for Everglades National Park. Harper died on June 10, 2007, after contending with pneumonia for some months.

Set of Three Signed Sturtevant Serigraphs
By Elaine Sturtevant
Located in NYC, NY
A set of three prints by influential American artist Elaine Sturtevant, studying circular motion and riffing/ripping (depending on your views on copyright) off the works of Robert Rauschenberg, Marcel Duchamp and Alexander Calder. Labelled and Each signed 'Sturtevant' and from an edition of 60.
Sturtevant was born in Lakewood, Ohio (USA) and spent the first years of her artistic life working in New York - where in 1956, she began to manually reproduce paintings and objects created by her contemporaries with results that cannot immediately be identified from an original.
Sturtevant intentionally turns the concept of originality on its head... All of her works are copies of the works of other artists; none is an original. She initially focused on works by such American artists as Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Jasper Johns, and Andy Warhol. In the late 1960s, she concentrated on replicating works by Joseph Beuys and Duchamp. Since the early 1980s, she has focused on the next generation of artists, including Robert Gober, Anselm Kiefer, Paul McCarthy, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres.
She masters painting, sculpture, photography and film in order to produce a full range of copies of her chosen artist's work. In most cases, her decision to start copying an artist happened before those artists achieved broader recognition. Nearly all of the artists she chose to copy are today considered iconic for their time or style. This has given rise to discussions amongst art critics on how it has been possible for Sturtevant to identify these now famous artists at such an early stage.
A notable incident in her career emphasizes just *how* technically talented she is at assimilation and reproduction of an artistic style: In 1965 a Jasper Johns flag...
