Untitled (Capitol Detail) / Untitled (Throne Room) / Untitled (Bucephalus) / Untitled (Riot Cops)4 Ditone Prints on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth 305 gSize each: 24 x 22 inch (2 x upright format, 2 x horizontal format)signed, numberedEdition: 30 + 10 AP4 prints in handmade folder, with book The enormous, photorealistic charcoal drawings by American artist Robert Longo (*1953 in Brooklyn, New York) show the beauty and horror of the present day and age. His large-format works contrast the innocence of sleeping toddlers, the tranquil grandiosity of Earth and the planets, roses in bloom, and Gothic cathedrals with threatening images of atom bomb explosions, fighter pilots, monster waves, sharks, and the muzzles of revolvers. Inexorably and seismographically precise, the winner of the 2005 Goslar Kaiserring and 2010 inductee into the French Order of Arts and Letters records the state of our world. Longo's powerful motifs give form and expression to the feelings of fear and longing felt by people in the twenty-first century, and affect the viewer with the full force of the medium. This large-format, elaborately designed book, printed on natural paper using a tritone process, bound in half cloth and distributed in four different cover designs, has been created in close collaboration with the artist and affords a comprehensive overview of his charcoal drawings from the past decade. We are delighted to offer you a new artist edition by Robert Longo on the occasion of a new 2017 edition of the successful book Charcoal. Four current motifs that are not illustrated in the book have been beautifully reproduced using a high-quality print process and inserted into a handmade bookbinder folder: the capitol, a group of policemen behind their shields, the ocean under a swinging chandelier, and the rider-less black horse accompanying the funeral procession of John F. Kennedy. We kindly ask for your understanding that due to high demand we will be able to provide only one folder per address.
