Vintage Karel Appel "London Arts Gallery" Exhibition Print

About the Item

Gorgeous lithograph after Karel Appel for an exhibition in the London Arts Gallery circa 1969. This print is marked "Arte Paris" in lower margins' This lithograph is in great condition with some light signs of handling. See pictures for details. This print is unframed. Appel was born in Amsterdam in 1921. The son of a barber, he received a scholarship to study at the city's Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten. Early influences for the artist included Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Jean Dubuffet. He had his first solo exhibition in the Dutch city of Groningen in 1946. From the mid-1950s onwards, he spent increasing amounts of time in New York, where his work started to grow freer and show an affinity with that of the Abstract Expressionists — albeit always with the retention of some figurative element. Alongside painting, Appel worked successfully in a number of other media: from textiles and ceramics to printmaking. Among his most popular works is a series of lithographs of cats from 1978; and a colourful cycle of prints and painted wooden sculptures from around the same time, inspired by the circus. Appel died in 2006. Six years later, his painting Two Birds and a Flower (1951) sold for €840,000 at Christie’s. This set a record for the most expensive price ever paid for a work by Appel at auction.
