About the Item

Wilson, John W. SEATED WOMAN. Etching and aquatint, 1973. A Proof aside from the edition of 75. Inscribed "Guide Proof" and signed in pencil. 18 x 12 1/2 inches, 457 x 315 mm. (plate); 22 1/4 x 16 1/8 inches (sheet). Printed on BFK Rives paper. Pinholes and light evidence of handling in the margins, else in excellent condition. A "Guide Proof" is a proof pulled by the artist working in collaboration with a Master Printer; it is a progressive proof in the effort to reach a final "Bon a Tirer" (Good to Print) proof which will serve as the standard from which an edition will be printed. A guide proof may be marked up by the artist and printer to indicate changes, though except for the pinoles, that was not done in this case.

  • Guggenheim (Black)
    By Richard Hamilton
    Located in London, GB
    Perspex form, vacuum formed acrylic and spray painted black, 1970, signed and dated verso, from the edition of 106, although an edition of 750 was planned it was not fully executed, published by xartcollection, Zurich, 59 x 59 x 9.8 cm. (23.2 x 23.2 x 3.9 in.) In 1970 British-Pop artist Richard Hamilton was invited to produce an edition of 750 small-scale multiples of the Guggenheim. The intention was to produce vacuum-form reliefs in Perspex and offset the costs of expensive molds by creating a large edition. In the end, the project proved more technically difficult than anticipated. Of the three colours (black, white and chrome), only a total of 271 were realised, 117 in white. The xartcollection was created in 1968 in Zurich, Switzerland by Sandro Bocola...

Jane Dickson has been exhibiting her oil stick painting, watercolor drawing, and prints in museums and galleries domestically and internationally for two decades. She frequently works with unusual surfaces such as Astroturf, sandpaper, vinyl, or carpet to exploit the implicit references and the textural possibilities these materials offer. She was part of an eclectic East Village (Greenwich village) scene that included Keith Haring, John Crash Matos, Jenny Holzer, Jeff Koons, Kenny Scharf, David Wojnarowicz, Robert Crumb and Richard Hambleton. Solo exhibitions of her work have been shown at The Whitney Museum of American Art at Philip Morris, Creative Time, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2008 she completed a mosaic for MTA in the 42nd street station. In 2010 she was invited to paint a leather jacket for the Andy Warhol Museum. In the early eighties, Warhol collected leather jackets, including one painted with his portrait and that of Jean-Michel Basquiat by the new wave artist Stefano Castronovo. Artists commissioned for this project include Castronovo, Rita Ackermann...
