Mark Coomer Serigraphs of Architectural Landscapes

Item Details

In Plate

A collection of serigraphs of architectural landscapes on board by listed artist Mark Coomer (1914-2004). These seven prints include detailed depictions of the Empire State Building, rendering of Venice, titled Ponte dei Sospiri, and a child playing in the side yard of a small tropical home. All prints are signed in plate 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.
