About the Item

Donald Baechler, Starfish, 1999: A fun, whimsical, and highly decorative signed limited edition Baechler piece that works well in any setting. Medium: Soft-ground etching and aquatint on Magnani Pescia paper. Overall size including boarders: 22 x 17 inches. Hand signed, dated and numbered from an edition of 34. Provenance: Acquired directly from the publisher. Biography Donald Baechler, a member of the East Village art scene in 1980s New York, is known for his painting-collage-drawing works depicting of childhood imagery and nostalgic ephemera like grammar school primers, old maps, and children’s drawings, or purposely cliché motifs such as skulls, roses, and a soccer balls. Although critics have suggested that Baechler’s work, reminiscent of Jean Dubuffet, is a critique of innocence and sincerity, Baechler sees himself as an abstract artist whose concerns are primarily formal, rooted in line, shape, color, and composition. A 2011 solo exhibition included bronze sculptures based on childlike silhouettes of flowers as well as numerous faux-naïf black-and-white flower paintings. Baechler is often associated with other East Village artists, including Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Kenny Scharf. Related Categories Indian art. Cobra snakes. Diamonds. Indian mythology.
