- Lot Description
Artist: Allan D’Arcangelo (Buffalo, New York 1930 -1998)
Title: Olympische Spiele München 1972 -Class 2
Medium: color offset lithograph - Plate-Signed By The Artist
Provenience: F. Bruckmann KG, Munich/Kennedy Press Germany
ARTIST: Allan D’Arcangelo Being an American artist and printmaker, Allan was best known for his paintings of highways and road signs. His reputation as a Pop artist was established in 1963 with his series of paintings of American highways and signs, an example of which includes US Highway 1, Number 5.
A veteran of dozens of solo exhibitions beginning in the late 1950s, D'Archangelo taught Fine art at Cornell University, Brooklyn College, and the School of Visual Arts during the 1960s and he also taught painting in several other institutions throughout his career.
During the early 1960s, Allan D’Arcangelo was linked with Pop Art. “Marilyn” (1962) depicts an illustrative head and shoulders on which the facial features are marked by lettered slits to be “fitted” with the eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth which appear off to the right in the composition. In “Madonna and Child,” (1963) the featureless faces of Jackie Kennedy and Caroline are ringed with haloes, enough to make their status as contemporary icons perfectly clear.
His paintings are in the permanent collections of the Tate Gallery in London, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Denver Art Museum in Colorado, the Walker Art Center inMinneapolis, the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio, and many other public and private collections worldwide.
