Giancarlo ImpigliaFamous rare "Cafe Society" full suite of serigraphs1987
1987
About the Item
The full suite of Giancarlo Impiglia's famous "Cafe Society" series immortalized in films such as Big and Boomerang, which includes five impressive, hand-signed and dates serigraphs. All are rare.
Individual titles: "Cafe Society," "The Performance," "The Big Band," "The Dance," & "At the Bar."
Born in Rome, Impiglia moved to New York in the 70s, where he established a signature style on the shoulders of Futurism and Cubism, his technical skill underpinning his eclecticism and allowing him to indulge in an appetite for complexity. Whereas at a glance his vibrant paintings with their dynamic compositions may seem simply aesthetically pleasing, their deliberate beauty is a critique on society’s preoccupation with materialism and superficiality, as beneath this façade lies the true meaning of his work: each figure is depicted as indifferent, faceless satires defined entirely by the folds of their gowns and the glitter of their jewelry.
As they blend together into one another and into the background, forming a single tapestry of colors and forms, their individual identities and true selves—complete with ambitions, desires, and obsessions—remain concealed. The figures therefore become an extension of Impiglia’s critique as a representation of society, and the very act of creating beautiful works and their content are united by a singular, powerful vision.
Note: serigraph numbers subject to change.

- Streetcar Situation Green A/P 1/1 -figurative, playful, pop-art, limited editionBy Charles PachterLocated in Bloomfield, ONThis artist’s proof (1/1) is a playful homage to the beloved image of a Toronto streetcar. Pop Artist Charlie Pachter was inspired to create a series of prints on streetcars for one of his first exhibitions in the seventies. This serigraph features the detailed outline of a streetcar angled across three panels—the back and front of a streetcar painted green appears on either side—top and bottom. The backdrop is neutral, bordered in gold. Pachter is a much-admired Canadian artistic polymath, his colourful pop artwork merging playful even irreverent elements with deeply iconic imagery. “….a good art critic would compare it with Warhol’s soup cans...Category
