Chryssa, 'Electric Sky', 1980, Serigraph, Signed and Numbered
About the Item
Chryssa, 'Electric Sky', 1980, Serigraph, signed and numbered in pencil from an edition of 75.
This print is part of a portfolio of 8 original serigraphs, executed under the supervision of the artist at Atelier Arcay in Paris.
Chryssa Vardea-Mavromichali (Greek: Χρύσα Βαρδέα-Μαυρομιχάλη; December 31, 1933 – December 23, 2013) was a Greek American artist who worked in a wide variety of media. An American art pioneer in light art and luminist sculpture, known for her neon, steel, aluminium and acrylic glass installations, she always used the mononym Chryssa professionally.
After studying at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris in 1953-1954 (where she met André Breton, Edgar Varèse, and Max Ernst) and at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco in 1954-1955, she settled in New York, where she lived and worked until 1992, before returning to Greece. She became a pioneering artist on the New York art scene, alongside Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, within the “new realist” movement that they had initiated (Eleftherotypía, 7-2-2011); going against the trend of formalist perspective as theorised by American critic Clement Greenberg, the new realists made use of new types of non-artistic materials and sought to distance themselves from an art whose symbolism was meant to express the artist’s emotions. As in J. Johns’ work, numbers, flags and targets, as well as the choice of a pre-existing neutral motif, like letters that impose their format, allowed Chryssa to evade the question of content, to which the abstract expressionists had been so attached.
She worked from the mid-1950s in New York City studios and since 1992 in the studio she established in Neos Kosmos, Athens, Greece.
