Mark Coomer Serigraphs of Row Homes

Item Details

In Plate

An assortment of serigraphs of architectural scenes on board by listed artist Mark Coomer (1914-2004). This group of six prints includes a series of prints depicting colorful row houses of varying architectural styles. Also included is a view of the New York skyline from a park with an arched bridge and the facade of a building with potted plants in the window. All pieces are signed in print to a lower corner and are presented without frames or hanging hardware.

Born in Bay City, Michigan, Mark Coomer studied art in Chicago and Detroit before eventually settling in Arizona. He is known for his paintings and serigraphs, often depicting street patioscapes and urban city scenes. Coomer did almost all of his own printing, limiting his editions to 100. His preferred ground for his prints was masonite board, which combined with the permanent nature of his oil-based inks, were advertised as “washable”. Coomer exhibited his paintings and limited edition serigraphs nationally, and many can be found in private collections and institutions including the Chicago Art Institute; Challis Galleries, Laguna Beach, California; and The West and Walter-Bimson Western Art Collection housed at the University of Arizona Museum of Art.
