This original, one-of-a-kind, mid-century master silkscreen strike off, crafted by Vera Neumann in collaboration with designers and artists such as Perry Ellis and Walter Erhard, embodies a narrative-rich artwork. It transcends the traditional role of art as a mere wall decoration, serving as a foundational element for fashion designs, sportswear, housewares, and a plethora of other remarkable creations throughout Vera's illustrious career. Many of these strike offs bear the marks of Vera and her colleagues, evidencing the meticulous process of refining color and design. This piece poignantly narrates the journey of Vera's original artwork, from sketch to painting, from conceptual design to strike off, and finally to manufacturing. It stands as a testament to a bygone era in the fashion and design industry, preserving a historical technique that is nearly lost in contemporary practices.
This vibrant silkscreen print features an intricate pattern of swirling motifs in bold shades of orange and blue. The design is rich with paisley-like shapes and stylized floral elements, creating a dynamic and mesmerizing composition. The use of dots and fine lines adds texture and depth, enhancing the intricate details of the artwork. A green border frames the scene, providing a contrasting touch that complements the vivid central design. This silkscreen captures the exuberance and decorative elegance of mid-century design, perfect for adding a touch of lively sophistication and visual interest to any space.
