The selection includes limited-edition prints and works including Sorayama’s ‘Untitled (Red Dress)’ and ‘Untitled (Black Monokini)’, Mark Maggiori’s ‘Moonlight Solitaire’ and ‘The Power (Canvas)’, Futura’s ‘Community (Black)’, Takashi Murakami’s ‘May Shower Silkscreen (Blue/Purple Flowers)’, and de Saint Phalle’s ‘Montreux Jazz Festival’.
The announcement characterizes the artists through contrasting descriptions: Sorayama’s polished chrome fantasies, Maggiori’s sunlit western scenes, Futura’s graffiti energy, Murakami’s superflat colour, and de Saint Phalle’s large-scale joyful figures.
‘Untitled (Red Dress)’ is described as a 2015 limited-edition digital print by the Japanese artist, whose practice is associated with highly polished, futuristic depictions of the female form and a distinctive airbrush technique. The same description identifies the work as signed and numbered by the artist. ‘Untitled (Black Monokini)’ is likewise described as a 2015 limited-edition digital print connected to Sorayama’s highly polished, futuristic depictions of the female form and distinctive airbrush technique.
The selection also identifies Niki de Saint Phalle’s ‘Montreux Jazz Festival’ as a 1984 silkscreen.
