• Lot Description
  Juan Manuel Gomez-Quiroz (Chilean, 1939-1921). "Star Hunting" lithograph, edition 7/50, ca. 1960s. Signed by the artist in pencil on lower right. Titled in pencil on lower left. Numbered 7/50 in pencil at lower center. A mesmerizing piece by Chilean artist Juan Gomez-Quiroz that clearly demonstrates the artist's fascination with abstraction, though the title conjures associations with the celestial world. Gomez-Quiroz was greatly influenced by Abstract Expressionism and the techniques and principles of Action Painting which dominated the art world in the 1950s. Other important influences on Gomez-Quiroz were Roberto Antonio Matta (1911-2002) and Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968). Size of image: 23.625" L x 19.5" W (60 cm x 49.5 cm) Approximate size of sheet: 29.5" L x 22" W (74.9 cm x 55.9 cm) Size of frame: 30.25" L x 22.75" W (76.8 cm x 57.8 cm)
  
  Juan Manuel Gomez-Quiroz was born in Santiago de Chile on February 20, 1939. A painter as well as a printmaker, he studied at the Gregorio de la Fuente workshop in 1956 and the following year enrolled at the School of Fine Arts, University of Chile. In 1962 he received a Fulbright Scholarship and traveled to study at the Rhode Island School of Design and Yale University's School of Art and Architecture. Eventually, Gomez-Quiroz settled in New York, studied at the Pratt Graphic Center, and was an adjunct professor of art at NYU (New York University) from 1969 to 1976 and also taught at FIT's (Fashion Institute of Technology) Printmaker Workshop. In 1986, he became a curator at the Museum of Contemporary Hispanic Art, and he was a member of the jury at the Olympic Arts Competition. In addition to the visual art world, Gomez-Quiroz adored literature and explored art book techniques. He created a 3-D book of Pablo Neruda poetry, was president of the H.H. Silverman Publishing Company from 1986 to 1988, and director of the Writer's Space at Hostos Community College from 1995 to 2000.
