Assortment of Mark Coomer Serigraphs on Boards of Multicultural Iconography

Item Details

An assortment of five serigraphs on boards of multicultural iconography by well-listed American artist Mark Coomer (1914-2004). These works feature views of Venice canals titled Pont deu Sospiri, a figurative statue from Sierra Leone, storefronts, a New York archway, and a man walking through an urban setting titled Bracken House. All works are signed in plate and all remain unframed.

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.
