Beschrijving van de verkoper
"Clown au Serpent" (Snake Clown) — from the celebrated Circus series by Karel Appel.
Color woodcut with carborundum on Arches paper, 1978. Signed in white crayon and numbered 75/130, from an edition of 130 plus 20 artist's proofs in Roman numerals. Printed by Arts-Litho, Paris, and published by ABCD Editeur, Paris. In excellent condition.
A vivid, expressionist composition in Appel's instantly recognizable palette, with the carborundum lending the surface a rich, tactile relief that gives each impression real depth.
Karel Appel (1921–2006) is one of the foremost figures of postwar European avant-garde art. In 1948 he co-founded the Cobra movement in Paris together with Constant, Corneille, Asger Jorn, Christian Dotremont and Joseph Noiret; the wider Cobra circle also included Pierre Alechinsky and Carl-Henning Pedersen. The Circus series is among his most sought-after print portfolios.
Provenance:
This work was acquired from a modern art gallery in Los Angeles. The original invoice can be provided after purchase.
The work will be carefully packaged and shipped in a solid tube.
