This unique and beautiful artwork by Richard Spinner is a one-of-a-kind piece that will add a touch of sophistication to any space. The piece is 2 of 5 Artist proofs, created using the screen printing and mixed media technique, and features an abstract graphic design titled "Loop". The artwork is signed and numbered, with an artist proof of 2/5 in Roman Numerals.
The print is medium-sized, with a landscape orientation, and framed behind glass in a sleek gold colored frame. It was produced in 1972 and is an original piece, not a licensed reprint. The subject matter of the piece includes abstract graphic tape media, making it a great addition to any art collection that features architecture or cityscapes.
As shown in the last 3 pictures, the bottom of the paper looks like it absorbed a little water in several spots, probably from sitting above a humidifier. Slight browning to the paper, however it did not reach or affect the painted art.
29.25" x 22.5" x 0.75".
Here is some additional information about the artist;
Richard Spinner, a Chicago Graphic Artist, is a pioneer of the Graphic Tape Media. Dozens of his works have been reproduced as silk screen prints for commercial distribution and advertising. Unlike Agam, Vasarely and Litchensen, who painted their lines using masking tape, Richard Spinner has mastered the use of graphic tape to create illusion and expression. His sculptor-like techniques, on a 2-dimensional surface, give him more expressive freedom than the traditional artist’s approach.
Original concepts can take up to a year before going into print production. The artist’s signed and numbered pieces are produced on archival paper as giclée prints. His new works include original multi-level dynamic 2-dimensional graphic tape art, using four layers of acrylic sheet and overlapping graphic tape, creating subtle shadows and shifts in geometric forms as the light source changes throughout the day or the viewer passes by the piece. There has never been another artist like Richard Spinner known anywhere.
