Adolph Gottlieb
Adolph Gottlieb "Black & Grey" Silkscreen

1967

About the Item

Compared with his peers, the original Abstract Expressionist posse (Arshile Gorky, Hans Hoffmann, Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko) Adolph Gottlieb arguably created the most easily recognizable paintings. His signature forms include bursts, circles and "labyrinths" - while they appear to be expressionist forms they are often highly symbolic and inspired by primitive art. While they are the result of gestural painting, they also posses a calm and almost contemplative energy that is often at odds with the work of Gorky, Hoffmann and Pollock (whose canvases can be heavy with angst, aggression and torment) This iconic screenprint combines two of Gottlieb's most famous forms: the disc and the starburst in a uniquely dark combination, adding to the mystique of his abstract language. As Gottlieb's paintings are selling for upwards of two million, his fine screenprints are a must have for the young collector passionate about American Abstract Expressionism. "Black & Grey" USA, 1967 Color Silkscreen Published by Marlborough Graphics Signed, numbered and dated 1967 by the artist. From an edition of 75 24"H 18"W (image) 31"H 24.5"W (framed) Very good condition

  • Friedel Dzubas "Night Star" Screenprint, 1984
    By Friedel Dzubas
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    During the 60’s Dzubas became associated with the Color field painting and Lyrical Abstraction movements. During this period his works were more hard-edged blocks of color. However, he would return his more expressive and improvised manner later in his career. Dzubas’ technique involved applying thick layers of color over washes, scrubbing the Magna paint he used into the unprimed canvas. He would then use various methods, often including staining and brushing, to apply more color to the canvass. Many of Friedel Dzubas hang in the permanent collections of some of the most prestigious art institutions in the world; including, the Whitney Museum, NY, the Guggenheim, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Albright-Knox. “Night Star...

  • Rites of Passage II
    By Robert Motherwell
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    Robert Motherwell (1915-1991), alongside Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning, made up the quartet of American abstract painters that radically defined abstraction and established New York City as the center of the art world for the second half of the 20th century. Motherwell was also the unofficial spokesman of the New York School, writing, teaching and lecturing on behalf of the movement, his fellow artists, and the merits of abstraction. His work appears in museum collections around the world and is instantly recognizable for its boldness and black forms. Yet in addition to his impressive paintings, Motherwell is also revered as a printmaker. He is one of the most innovative and prolific printmakers of the 20th century. He was always searching for new techniques, whether at his own printmaking atelier, or collaborating with others, to expand his ideas and express his aesthetic. This print, along with "El General", was created at Tyler Graphics in 1979. "Rites of Passage II...
