Georgetown Frame Shoppe, a gallery in Washington, has circulated an email promoting special pricing on featured modern and contemporary artworks, including recent acquisitions and editions by Joan Miró, Robert Indiana, Gene Davis, Damien Hirst, Salvador Dalí and others. The message positions the selection around Pop, Contemporary and Modern styles, and directs recipients to browse works tailored to their taste.
The email frames the offer as a sales roundup rather than an exhibition announcement. It identifies Georgetown Frame Shoppe as a source for modern and contemporary editions and gives the business address as 2818 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, DC. No opening or closing dates for an event are provided in the source material, and the message does not describe a public programme attached to the promotion.
Among the works listed is Joan Miró’s 'Ouvrage du vent I', described as an aquatint hand-signed in pencil, edition 44/75, with a framed price of $4,495. Another Miró work, 'Composition', is listed as a lithograph signed in the stone, edition of 1150, priced at $695 framed. The email also includes Robert Indiana’s 'Ahava', a screenprint listed as unsigned and in edition IX/XXX, with a framed price of $3,995.
The selection extends beyond the most familiar names in the postwar and contemporary canon. Gene Davis’s 'Royal Curtain' is listed as a hand-signed screenprint, edition 217/150, at $1,995 framed. Damien Hirst’s 'Nūr Jahān' appears as a laminated giclee with glitter, hand signed on the label verso, edition 1946/3041, priced at $2,495. Salvador Dalí’s 'Simeon' is identified as an etching and pochoir, hand signed in pencil, edition 130/195, priced at $3,495 framed.
The email also includes works by Connor Brothers, Crash, Bernard Buffet, Roy Lichtenstein and Georges Braque. Among those are Connor Brothers’ 'Vice Versa', listed as a giclee with varnish and hand signed in pencil, edition 36/50, at $1,995 framed; Crash’s 'Thunderbird Alumni' and 'American Thunderbird', both lithographs with hand-signed editions; Bernard Buffet’s 'Brittany, Port Saint-Jean'; Roy Lichtenstein’s 'Pistol'; and Braque’s 'Les Oiseaux de Nuit'. The listing gives each work’s medium, signing status, edition information and frame size or price where available.
The message is straightforward about its purpose: to encourage browsing and purchase, with repeated prompts to buy now or learn more. It also notes that various editions, signatures and sizes are available, suggesting that the inventory is meant to appeal to collectors seeking a range of entry points across established names in modern and contemporary printmaking and editioned art.
