James Rosenquist, Original Color Intaglio on Paper, Signed
A vibrant and unique color intaglio and relief print on Pescia Italian paper by renowned American Pop artist James Rosenquist (1933€“2017). Titled Window Washer Glass House, this artwork features a dynamic abstraction highlighted by hand-coloring with a rubber tire, a hallmark of Rosenquist's innovative techniques. The bold composition, blending vivid reds, yellows, and blues, evokes a sense of industrial modernity and energy. Signed and dated by the artist in graphite on the lower right, "James Rosenquist 1978," with the edition and title on the lower left: "49/78 Window Washer Glass House." This print exemplifies Rosenquist's contribution to the Pop Art movement, merging commercial art elements with fine art. James Rosenquist was one of the most influential figures in the Pop Art movement, alongside contemporaries such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg. Originally trained as a billboard painter, Rosenquist's background in large-scale commercial art greatly influenced his artistic practice, as seen in his monumental works and use of fragmented imagery. Rosenquist's art often juxtaposes disparate images€”drawn from advertising, consumer culture, and personal experiences€”to create thought-provoking compositions that challenge perceptions of modernity and media. His groundbreaking work, F-111 (1965), is considered a masterful critique of the military-industrial complex and consumer culture. A recipient of numerous accolades, Rosenquist's works are held in prestigious collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Tate Gallery in London. His innovative use of vibrant colors and unconventional materials continues to resonate with collectors and art enthusiasts alike.
