NIKI DE SAINT PHALLE (1930-2002) “Remember?” Serigraph
Serigraph by French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) is titled “Remember?” and depicts various moments of intimacy with a couple paired with whimsical colorful figures. Noted for her experimental style of making art that incorporated whimsical, light-hearted elements, Saint Phalle presents an image of charged eroticism meant to explore the passions she held for her lover. Housed in a modest silver frame, this serigraph is signed by the artist at the right hand corner of the print in faded ink.
About the Artist:
Catherine Marie-Agnès Fal de Saint Phalle was born in 1930 near Paris to a French father and an American mother as the second of five children. She spent most of her childhood in New York City, and summers in Connecticut or Long Island, though she frequently returned to France to visit relatives, becoming fluent in both French and English. Working as a fashion model in her late teens, Saint Phalle appeared on the cover of Life Magazine and in the pages of Elle and Harper’s Bazaar, and eloped with Henry Matthews, an author and childhood friend, at the age of 18. While Matthews studied music at Harvard University, Saint Phalle began to explore painting, being encouraged to paint as a form of therapy. At the end of the 1950s, Saint Phalle and her husband moved back to Paris. In 1960, however, the couple separated and Saint Phalle moved to a new apartment, established a studio, and met artist Jean Tinguely, with whom she would collaborate artistically. Within a year, they had moved in together and begun a romantic relationship. Saint Phalle became part of the Nouveau Réalisme movement along with Tinguely, Yves Klein, Arman and others, being the only woman in the group. Her most famous and prolific series of works, the Nanas, were begun in the mid-1960s and were inspired by a friend's pregnancy, her reflections on archetypal feminine forms, and the vexed positions that women occupy in modern, patriarchal societies. 'Nanas,' a French slang word roughly equivalent to 'broads,' is a title that encapsulates the theme of the everywoman as well as the casual denigration that closely accompanies the rhetorical grouping of women as a social category. Saint Phalle became one of the first artists to get involved with the AIDS crisis, with the 1980s also serving as the the most prolific period in the Nanas series. Working at her art until the very end, Saint Phalle died in La Jolla, California in May of 2002 and has been immortalized as an artist that has had a significant effect on the development of conceptual art and feminism.

VICTOR VASARELY (1906-1997) “Hang” Signed and Numbered Serigraph
Serigraph by renowned leader of the Op art movement, Victor Vasarely (1906-1997), depicts an illusory field of blue and red circles resolving in a spherical design that occupies the central focus of the print. Widely accepted as the grandfather of Op art, Vasarely utilized precise color and geometric compositions to create illusions of compelling spatial depth. Housed in a silver frame with austere black matting, this serigraph is signed and numbered by Vasarely at the bottom of the print, making for a truly rare addition to the home.
About the Artist:
Victor Vasarely was born in Pécs on April 9, 1906 and grew up in Pöstény and Budapest. Originally taking up medical studies, Vasarely abandoned medicine in 1927 to learn academic painting, studying at Sándor Bortnyik's private art school, Műhely (or "Workshop"), then widely recognized as Budapest's center of Bauhaus studies. After settling in Paris in 1930, Vasarely worked as a graphic artist before turning to creating art and sculptures using optical illusions. Developing his style of geometric abstract art over the next three decades, Vasarely widely became known as the founder and leader of the so-called “Op art” movement, with numerous museums and galleries collecting his work. After a long and successful career, Vasarely died in 1997, at the age of 90.

About the Artist:
Patrick Nagel was born November 25, 1945 in Dayton, Ohio, but was raised most of his life in the Los Angeles area. After serving in the United States Army with the 101st Airborne in Vietnam, Nagel attended the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles in 1969, and in that same year he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from California State University, Fullerton. Beginning in 1971, Nagel worked as a graphic designer for ABC Television before partaking in freelance work for companies and magazines such as IBM, Rolling Stone, and Universal Studios. Likewise, Nagel produced album covers for recording artists, most notably for Duran Duran’s 1982 hit album, Rio. Nagel contributed to Playboy Magazine from August 1975 to July 1984, with one of his paintings being published in every issue between that time period, roughly totaling 285 pieces. Nagel died of an undisclosed heart defect in 1984, at the young age of 38. His already popular work exploded throughout the 1980s and flooded the market to make Nagel a quintessential American artist still today.
