de Lempicka, Tamara. Autoportrait. Art Deco
<Our item number 139087><B>de Lempicka, Tamara.</B> <I>Autoportrait.</I> 31¾ x 25 inch limited edition estate serigraph, 208/400, matted to an overall size of 38½ x 31¼ inches. Considered de Lempicka&#39;s most famous image, this c. 1932 masterwork portrays the artist herself, captured with steely allure behind the wheel of a green Bugatti. As the &#34;New York Times&#34; described it in 1974: <I>&#34;…a true image of the self-asserting, independent woman. The hands are gloved, she has a helmet on her head, and she is inaccessible; her cool, disturbing beauty reveals a formidable being - this woman is free.&#34;</I> 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>Estimated Value &#36;2,500 - 3,500. <BR><BR>Our ite m number 139087<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/49jpegs/139087.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/49jpegs/139087N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/49jpegs/139087N3.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
