Pop Art Pearlstein, Philip Nude on a Dahomey Stool. 1976. vernis mou with aquatint on wove paper. 60.3 x 50.2 cm (77.5 x 66 cm). Signed, dated, numbered, inscribed "A.P." and titled. Mounted in spots on support and framed free-standing (unopened). - Apparently exceptionally good. Splendid, nuanced and filigree impression with strong platemark, wide margin and scoop margin on the left side. Landwehr, p. 62 - One of 10 artist's proofs outside the edition, our sheet the 10th copy. - Philip Pearlstein's career began together with Andy Warhol. The two had been friends since they studied together in Pittsburgh in 1945 and were equally enthusiastic about art. In 1947, the two visited New York City together for the first time and subsequently settled in the metropolis in 1948. Pearlstein's artistic beginnings were in the field of commissioned work for advertising clients and magazines, including "Life". Pearlstein's personal style developed early on; the style was photorealistic with Pop Art influences, the motif often depicting nudes. In Pearlstein's work, the figures are not personalized, and the artist often cropped them in such a way that the faces were barely visible - thus removing components from his works that could distract from the essentials. In his mature and balanced works, he showed the sculptural dimension of the bodies without appearing vulgar. Pearlstein's works are represented in renowned institutions worldwide.
