James CrawfordJames Crawford "Pile Series" 6 Silkscreen Signed Numbered1970's
1970's
About the Item
"Pile Series" was completed during the 1970s. It has a tongue-in-cheek affect as all the prints are photographs of stacks, or "piles", of industrial construction items silkscreened on cardboard giving these building materials a more aesthetic value. These silkscreens are mentioned and one is pictured in the famous, "Kick Out the Jams: Detroit Cass Corridor 1963 - 1977" iconic publication by the Detroit Institute of Arts regarding Detroit's Cass Corridor Artists. They are all signed and numbered.
James Alan Crawford was born in 1944 in Hillsdale, Michigan. He studied art for two years at Michigan State University before transferring to Wayne State University and graduating there. He received his MFA in 1969 while being mentored by John Egner and Aris Koutroulis. He was a pioneer of Detroit's Cass Corridor Art Movement that spanned the 1960's and 1970's. Crawford would serve as the visual arts coordinator at the Michigan Council for the Arts from 1970 to 1992. Crawford's work spans nearly every possible medium and has a quiet intellectualism in its themes, set against the backdrop of the uncertain urban landscape. While the Cass Corridor era of Detroit's art has come and gone, Crawford's work has been at the forefront at interest in its revival.

- Claes Oldenburg "Ice Bag" Lithograph of Sculpture Pop ArtBy Claes OldenburgLocated in Detroit, MISALE ONE WEEK ONLY Claes’ first kinetic sculpture, 1970, was “Ice Bag” rising in height from 7 to 16 feet with a diameter of 18 feet. He was interested in ice bags as a sculptural subject because of their compelling form. The surface wavers between rippled and smooth, hard and soft. This lithograph with blue and red crayon is a sketch of the “Ice Bag” sculpture and was created by Claes as a thank you gift for certain individuals. Eric Saarinin & Associates had rented an art studio to film Oldenburg sketching on its walls the genesis of the ice bag and his thoughts about the Icebag. When the owner of the studio returned and found his pristine walls covered with scrawls, he had a fit…until he understood the present value of that heavily marked, white expanse. They thought about how to remove the drawings. Well, it couldn’t be done, but they are preserved in the film directed by Michael Hugo and produced by Eric Saarinen. The Lithograph is printed by Kenneth Tyler, carries the blind stamp and is marked (Gem.II), G.E.L. It is numbered 2 of 26, dated and signed by Oldenburg and owned by Eric Saarinen who received it as a gift from Claes. Unframed it measures 16 1/8 x 22 5/16. Claes Oldenburg was a Swedish-born American sculptor, best known for his public art installations typically featuring large replicas of everyday objects. Another theme in his work is soft sculpture versions of everyday objects. Many of his works were made in collaboration with his wife, Coosje van Bruggen, who died in 2009; they had been married for 32 years. Oldenburg was born in Stockholm, Sweden, but because of his father’s diplomatic career he lived most of his life in the states mainly New York and California. He attended Yale University and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Oldenburg became associated with the pop art movement and created many happenings, that were so popular in the late 1960s and thru the 1970s. They were performance art related productions. The name he gave to his own productions was "Ray Gun “Theater”. The cast of colleagues who appeared in his performances included artists: Lucas Samaras, Tom Wesselmann, Carolee Schneemann...Category
