Mark Coomer Limited Edition Serigraph on Composite Board “General Store”
Item Details
A limited edition serigraph on composite board titled General Store by listed artist Mark Coomer (American, 1914 – 2004). An unknown number in an edition of 100, the piece is signed in plate to the lower right corner. Housed in a gilt wood frame. To the verso are a pair of descriptive labels.
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.
