Item Description
Larry Rivers artwork titled "Camel”
- Camels were a very important subject in Rivers' career. Rivers revisited the subject consistently from the very early 60's through the 90's. This particular print series was originally created in 1979, and in 1990 Rivers decided to take the remainder of the usold prints from the 1979 edition and hand-work the rest of the series, (of which there were only 50 remaining).
- This is number 33/50 and is signed.
Rivers is considered by many scholars to be the "Godfather" and "Grand Father" of Pop Art, because he was one of the first artists to really merge non-objective, non-narrative art with narrative and objective abstraction.
- Established as one of America's most important postwar artists, Rivers continued, until his death on 14 August 2002, to exhibit regularly both in the United States and abroad and to create work that combined realistically rendered images within a loosely brushed, quasi-abstract background. His primary gallery being the Marlborough Gallery in New York City.
- In 2002 a major retrospective of Rivers' work was held at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Most recently Rivers work could be seem at the Museum of Modern Art in December 2011 at the Arstract Expressionist NY Show where he was exhibited with many of his contemporaries.
