1976 Bill Schiffer Ink and Marker Drawings

Item Details

Ink on paper

A selection of 1976 ink and marker drawings on paper of geometric patterns by contemporary New York artist Bill Schiffer. These four drawings depict gridded off compositions of a repeated pattern, which shows a twirling of rectangles towards a single point, creating a whirlpool of sorts. To the lower right corner of each drawing is a dated signature.

Born in New York, Bill Schiffer rose to prominence as a painter and sculptor in the early 1980’s. Though he still works in many two dimensional and three dimensional art mediums, Schiffer is most well known for his unique handcrafted jewelry, which he started designing after a foray experimenting with wearable art in the fashion scene. Bill Schiffer’s art and jewelry has been shown in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, as well as major museums in Italy, Japan, Germany and the United States. His work has been featured in publications including Vogue, Elle, Bazaar, Women’s Wear Daily, Seventeen and Cosmopolitan.
