MICHAELE VOLLBRECHT – "TDE LEMPICKA"
⚜ Mixed Media Collage ⚜ Artist’s Signature Incorporated on Pencil ⚜ Shadow Box Frame
A BOLD JUXTAPOSITION OF EROTICISM, OBJECTS, AND ART HISTORICAL HOMAGE
In this clever, subversive mixed media work, Michaele Vollbracht stages a dramatic interplay between sensuality and absurdity. “Tde Lempicka” layers a printed reproduction of Tamara de Lempicka’s iconic La Belle Rafaëla—a 1927 portrait of her lover and muse—with a mounted pencil and faux fish. The juxtaposition creates a surrealist commentary on desire, objectification, and the myth of the artist’s muse. The pencil, bearing Vollbracht’s printed signature, acts as a wry self-insertion, a literal and symbolic authorial gesture that bridges illustration, assemblage, and the art of appropriation.
The work originates from the estate of Margot Rogoff, a fashion executive and close friend of the artist, who acquired several of Vollbracht’s rare fine art pieces during the 1990s. Encased in a deep white shadow box, this piece exemplifies Vollbracht’s sophisticated visual language—one deeply rooted in fashion editorial, camp aesthetics, and subversive pop culture critique.

THE ARTIST:
Michaele Vollbracht (1947–2018) was an acclaimed American fashion designer, illustrator, and artist whose career traversed New York’s fashion and art scenes with equal command. Trained at Parsons and having worked under industry giants like Geoffrey Beene and Donald Brooks, Vollbracht began as a celebrated fashion illustrator, producing striking editorial art for The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Women's Wear Daily. His sweeping ink work and dramatic figures drew comparisons to Erté, Antonio Lopez, and Tom Tierney, and his eye for theatricality placed him alongside creatives like Patrick Nagel and Andy Warhol.
In the early 1980s, he launched his own fashion label—earning a Coty Award in 1980—and later became head designer for Bill Blass. Throughout, Vollbracht maintained a parallel visual art practice blending collage, satire, and visual storytelling. His assemblage works, like “Tde Lempicka,” reframe historical art, commercial tropes, and erotic iconography with humor and critical edge. As both an insider and satirist of fashion and consumer culture, Vollbracht’s mixed media creations hold a unique space in the lineage of postwar Pop and fashion art.
