Garo Zareh Antreasian “Painters Tray” Geometric Abstraction c1977
By Garo Z Antresian
Located in Oakland, CA
This is such an incredible lithograph by master printmaker, Garo Zareh Antreasian c1977. We aren’t sure if the artwork is better than the beautiful shadow box frame or vise versa. Our expert framer floated this piece perfectly in a custom made shadow box frame. The wood used which is mainly black, but has thin streaks of silvery grey (almost metallic feel) that picks up in the grey gradient lines throughout the artwork. *Note this is not an edition, which makes this more valuable, and collectable. In our opinion, after looking at his body of work, we think this is probably the best piece he did. The execution on this is just incredible. Signed in pencil, embossed with the artist’s cipher, and dated. The print itself is in perfect condition with no flaws, anything you see in the photos is a reflection from the lights when we photographed it. This was just framed so it’s flawless. Garo Zareh Antreasian (1922-2018) was born in Indianapolis, printmaker Garo Zareh Antreasian helped to promote the art of lithography among American artists during the 1960s and 1970s. He studied printmaking with Will Barnet in New York. During the 1950s, while teaching at the John Herron Institute in Indianapolis, he began to produce color lithographs. Throughout his career, Antreasian has been a very active member of the Tamarind Lithography Workshop. The workshop was established in 1960 to train lithographers...
