Louise Nevelson
Louise Nevelson "Bicentenial Dawn" 1976

1976

About the Item

Louise Nevelson is one of the most revered and unique sculptors of the 20th century. Her work has had an undeniable influence on a host of significant artists ranging from Tony Cragg to Louise Bourgeois. This screen print with gold foil overlay depicts Nevelson's monumental public sculpture "Bicentennial Dawn" commissioned for the Philadelphia Courthouse. The sculpture was commissioned by the US government in celebration of the country's 200th birthday and the "Art in Architecture" program. Possibly her largest single work of art, the sculpture consists of 29 elaborate column-like forms residing on three separate terra-cotta bases in addition to elements suspended from the ceiling. Like the best of Nevelson's work the sculpture alludes to tribal art and utopian or post-apocalyptic architecture. Questions about this product? Call us. Additional images available by request.

  • 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...
