James Rosenquist Limited Edition Serigraph Poster 1967 Aspen Jazz Festival

Item Details

A limited edition serigraph poster for the 1967 Aspen Jazz Festival by well-listed artist James Rosenquist (American, b. 1933). The layered imagery of microphones, flowers, and others are rendered with large rosettes, referencing offset lithography and its use in mass market printing. A label to the verso describes the item as 1 of a limited edition of 100. The piece is signed ‘J.R.’ in print to the left of the comoposition. Under a single layer of white mat, the item is presented under acrylic in a gold tone frame.

A leading figure in the American Pop Art movement, Rosenquist is best known for his large-scale oil paintings. His mother was an avid painter and encouraged her son’s interest in art. In 1952, he studied painting at the University of Minnesota and in 1955 studied at the Art Students League in New York. Like many in the Pop Art movement, Rosenquist began his career as a commercial artist painting billboards. Influenced by his background in commercial art, he would pull imagery from advertisements, periodicals, and other popular imagery. Rosenquist worked in a variety of mediums, including printing, painting, collage, and drawing. His works are held in a variety of public and private institutions, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and more.
