The edition exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of Transcontinental Litho Acme, Montréal, and the high production standards of Skarstedt Gallery, New York. Artwork Details: Artist: After George Condo (born 1957) Title: Figure Change, from the folio George Condo, Drawing Paintings Medium: Four color process archival pigment print on velin paper Dimensions: 10.75 x 9.25 inches (27.3 x 23.5 cm) Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered as issued Date: 2011 Publisher: Skarstedt Gallery, New York Printer: Transcontinental Litho Acme, Montréal Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the folio George Condo, Drawing Paintings, Skarstedt Gallery, New York, 2011 Notes: Excerpted from the folio, Published on the occasion of the exhibition, George Condo, Drawing Paintings, November 4 - December 17, 2011, Skarstedt Gallery, 20 East 79th Street, New York, NY 10075. Project Coordinators: Brady Doty and Dina Shaulov-Wright; Design: And Smith, LLC; Printing: Transcontinental Litho Acme. All images © George Condo. Photographs by Benjamin Provo and Chris Hood. Edition of CD + C, signed and numbered examples. About the Publication: George Condo, Drawing Paintings (2011), published by Skarstedt Gallery, New York, stands as a definitive documentation of one of Condo’s most acclaimed bodies of work. The publication accompanied the landmark exhibition of the same name, held at Skarstedt Gallery from November 4 through December 17, 2011, which brought together a series of works exploring the intersection of drawing and painting—two modes of creation that Condo masterfully fused into a single, psychologically charged process. Produced with meticulous attention to detail, the folio exemplifies the gallery’s commitment to fine art publishing, combining archival printing, and scholarly design to convey the visual complexity and intellectual depth of Condo’s practice. Printed by Transcontinental Litho Acme in Montréal, the edition reflects the technical precision and tonal richness necessary to convey Condo’s painterly surfaces and dynamic compositions. The project was realized under the direction of Project Coordinators Brady Doty and Dina Shaulov-Wright, with design by And Smith, LLC, ensuring the publication’s seamless integration of artistic and curatorial vision. More than a catalogue, the folio serves as both a visual archive and an aesthetic object in its own right, capturing the tension between chaos and order that defines Condo’s work. George Condo, Drawing Paintings remains an essential record of the artist’s ongoing dialogue between imagination, art history, and the fractured psychology of contemporary existence. About the Artist: George Condo (born 1957) is an American contemporary artist celebrated for his visionary fusion of abstraction, figuration, and psychological portraiture that bridges the grandeur of Old Master painting with the fractured sensibilities of modern and postmodern art. Born in Concord, New Hampshire, Condo studied art history and music theory before moving to New York City in 1979, where he became a central figure in the East Village art scene alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Julian Schnabel. His early experiences at Andy Warhol’s Factory exposed him to the interplay between fame, seriality, and popular culture, informing his concept of “Artificial Realism,” a style that merges classical draftsmanship with the chaos of contemporary life. Profoundly influenced by Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, Condo inherited from them a spirit of radical invention, surrealism, and intellectual play, transforming these legacies into his own psychologically charged idiom. His signature “psychological cubism” reimagines portraiture through fractured, expressive figures that embody the instability of modern identity, fusing beauty and grotesque distortion in a single image. Condo’s mastery of color, structure, and emotional tension draws upon the legacy of Velazquez, Goya, and Rembrandt while channeling the existential depth of Giacometti and the conceptual wit of Duchamp. His collaborations with William S. Burroughs and his iconic 2010 album cover for Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy exemplify his ongoing dialogue between high art and pop culture. Like Picasso, Miro, Dali, and Duchamp before him, Condo’s work captures the delirium and multiplicity of the human psyche through a language of visual fragmentation that continues to shape contemporary art. His influence can be seen in later artists such as Dana Schutz, Adrian...

Picasso Interpretation Prints II - Etchings, Pochoirs Woodcuts. Catalogue Raisonne. 2023, illustration 388–402 Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the folio Picasso, Fifteen Drawings, 1946, published by Pantheon Books, Inc., New York; printed by Albert Carman, City Island, New York, 1946 About the Publication: Picasso, Fifteen Drawings (1946) was one of the earliest fine art portfolios issued in the United States to feature the work of Pablo Picasso in the mediums of lithography and pochoir. Published by Pantheon Books, Inc., New York—a press renowned for its pioneering role in introducing European modernism to American audiences—the portfolio marked an important cultural bridge between postwar Paris and the emerging art scene in New York. The suite comprised fifteen images selected from Picasso’s prolific oeuvre, including depictions of mythological figures, musicians, and introspective portraits. Each work was rendered using a combination of lithography and pochoir, printed by Albert Carman at his atelier in City Island, New York, whose craftsmanship ensured a remarkable fidelity to the tonal and chromatic nuances of Picasso’s originals. The portfolio was produced in an edition of D, primary edition; L, out of commerce, hand signed by Pablo Picasso, issued unbound within a printed paper folder, and distributed primarily through Pantheon’s art book division under the direction of Kurt Wolff and Monroe Wheeler—key figures in shaping the intellectual reception of modern art in the United States. Picasso, Fifteen Drawings helped establish the artist’s postwar reputation among American collectors, scholars, and institutions, introducing a generation of viewers to the expressive immediacy and psychological depth of his draftsmanship. The publication also exemplified Pantheon’s broader mission to make modern European art accessible to an American audience, alongside their landmark editions devoted to Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault, and Marc Chagall. Technically refined and historically significant, the portfolio stands as a testament to the transatlantic exchange of modernist aesthetics during the mid-20th century and remains one of the most sought-after Picasso print editions issued in the United States before 1950. About the Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist whose extraordinary vision revolutionized modern art and defined the visual language of the 20th century. A child prodigy from Malaga, Spain, Picasso's career spanned more than seven decades and encompassed an astonishing range of styles and innovations—from the melancholic Blue and romantic Rose periods to his pioneering invention of Cubism with Georges Braque, which shattered conventional notions of perspective and form. Influenced by the bold expressiveness of El Greco, the structure of Cezanne, and the vitality of African and Iberian sculpture, Picasso became a central figure of the Paris avant-garde, working in creative dialogue with contemporaries such as Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. His insatiable experimentation extended across painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture, forever expanding the boundaries of artistic expression. A master of reinvention, Picasso profoundly shaped generations of artists who followed—from Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, and Jean-Michel Basquiat to Jeff Koons and Banksy—cementing his status as a timeless cultural icon whose works remain among the most sought after worldwide. His landmark painting Les Femmes d'Alger (Version O) achieved a record-breaking sale of 179,365,000 USD at Christie's, New York, on May 11, 2015, affirming Picasso's enduring legacy as one of the most influential and valuable artists in history.
