"TOWNSCAPE" -Jay Riven -Serigraph -1970's -Signed & Numbered -AP
TOWNSCAPE by Jay Riven is a standout serigraph from the 1970s that captivates with its bold assemblage of striking dense orange hues, looking to paint over this quiet town. Signed and numbered as AP (artist’s proof), this piece measures a substantial 26x22 inches, making it a commanding presence in any collection. Riven, who lived from 1916 to 2006, was influenced by the surrealist collage movement upon her arrival in New York in the 1940s. Her artistic journey evolved from pencil drawings to complex assemblages that deftly interweave elements. While her work offers an often unflattering yet honest commentary on American culture, it is infused with a quirky charm that invites viewers to engage deeply. This exquisite piece, carefully stored for over 40 years after the retirement of a NYC Manhattan gallery, is a testament to mid-century artistry that continues to resonate with contemporary audiences.
