About this Item

- sc - A 26 inch high by 20 inch wide color poster illustrated by the German-American pop artist Richard Lindner. The poster advertising the Alex Rosenberg Gallery's opening exhibition "Woman: From Nostalgia To Now" is illustrated with Richard Lindner's color art work "Marilyn Was Here", a colorful cubist pop art depiction of a bare breasted woman in a multi-colored corset reaching for her breast with a mechanical-looking arm. "Opening Exhibition" is printed as a banner heading at the top, with the text "Woman: from Nostalgia to Now. Alex Rosenberg Gallery, 20 W 57 St, NYC, Sept 29 - Oct 28, 1978, Paintings, Drawings, Sculpture" printed in a circle framing the image. Credits are printed in small type along the bottom edge of the poster: "Richard Lindner/Marilyn Was Here/1967 c. 1978 Transworld Art Corp, NYC". There are minor creases to the edges and corners and a tiny light brown spot to the left edge. There are remnants of mounting tape at the corners of the verso. Very good. Born in Hamburg Germany to an American born mother, Richard Lindner (1901-1978) first studied art at the Kunstgewerbeschle Arts & Crafts school and then at the Kunsakademie. Interned when the war broke out, he later served in the French army and moved to New York City in 1941. Becoming an American citizen, he taught at the Pratt Institute and subsequently at the Yale University School of Art and Architecture. According to Claus Clement in "Richard Lindner - Paintings, Works on Paper, Graphic": "The artistic universe of Richard Lindner is unique: he is highly genuine, he is full of urban energy, and he is driven by weird eroticism . Richard Lindner started his career as an artist eventually at the age of 40 in New York. In this metropolitan jungle Lindner created his Oeuvre: exciting and powerful images of robot like figures, amazons and heroines, harlequinades of self-styled heroes - his artistic panorama of the unruly 60s and 70s of the 20th century".
