de Lempicka, Tamara. Adam and Eve. Art Deco
<Our item number 139086><B>de Lempicka, Tamara.</B> <I>Adam and Eve.</I> &#40;1898-1980&#41; Polish born Art Deco painter. 45½ x 28¾ inch limited edition estate serigraph, 164/195, framed to an overall size of 60 x 43¼ inches. This work, circa 1932, represents the artist&#39;s original take on a classical subject and bears the hypnotic elegance of a fine Renaissance masterpiece. Known as much for her artistic ability as her scandalous bohemian lifestyle, both Tamara de Lempicka&#39;s work and reputation have become synonymous with the Art Deco movement and the Roaring Twenties lifestyle. A Certificate of Authenticity signed by de Lempicka&#39;s daughter, Baroness Kizette de Lempicka, is included.<BR><BR>There is a marvelous story behind this piece. It seems that the female model, a favorite of Lempicka&#39;s, paused to eat an apple. The artist went to the window and, seeing a handsome French policemen below on the street, called to him to come up. Being a handsome French policeman, he cam e up and agreed to pose. The result was this wonderful &#34;Adam and Eve.&#34; The two models, we are told, fell in love and got married. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;4,000 - 5,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 139086<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/49jpegs/139086.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/49jpegs/139086N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/49jpegs/139086N3.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
