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 showcases an intricate and mesmerizing design, filled with elaborate patterns and vivid colors. At the center, a circular motif composed of paisley shapes and floral elements radiates outward, creating a dynamic focal point. The surrounding areas are adorned with an array of detailed geometric and botanical patterns in rich shades of pink, green, and gold. The entire composition is framed by a decorative border that ties together the intricate elements. This artwork captures the essence of mid-century ornamental design, perfect for adding a touch of lively sophistication and visual complexity to any space.
