About the Item

Jack Youngerman Blue/Yellow from New York City Center of Music & Drama Portfolio, 1968 Silkscreen on wove paper Hand signed, numbered and dated from the edition of 144, in graphite by Jack Youngerman on the front Provenance is superb as this work is from the original portfolio Publisher: New York City Center of Music and Drama, New York; Printed by HKL, New York, NY 35 × 25 inches Unframed This rare, richly-colored limited edition, signed and numbered 1960s screenprint was created by Jack Youngerman as part of the New York City Center of Music and Drama portfolio, to raise funds for its 25th anniversary celebration. Youngerman has had a long and prolific career with major museum shows at the Guggenheim and the MoMA amongst others. The provenance of this piece is excellent as this will be the first time it will be separated from the original portfolio, with the yellow case designed by Pop artist Peter Gee. Unframed and in excellent condition. Working in bold saturated colors, Youngerman often reduces common forms from nature to their simplest shape. This iconic and uplifting work is a paradigm of his practice. Youngerman often synthesizes the best characteristics of Robert Motherwell and Ellsworth Kelly creating something highly original and confident. Youngerman studied in Paris in the late 1940's on the GI Bill and was greatly influenced by the European modernists notably the precise cutout shapes of Jean Arp and the primary colors and stylized florals of Henri Matisse. Jack Youngerman was born in Saint Louis, Missouri. He studied at the Academie des Beaux-Arts, Paris, from 1947 to 1948, and after traveling and working in Europe and the Near East, he settled in New York City in 1956. In the 1960s, his work advanced from constructivist to hard-edge abstraction painted in flat, brilliant colors, with compositions that seemed to reverse out from each other like stencils. Known for their explosive imagery and brilliant color, Youngerman's abstract works are derived from plants, leaves, and other organic forms. He described his drawings as starting points for his paintings and sculpture. Youngerman taught at Hunter College, Yale University, and the School of Visual Arts in New York.
